"Aren't you the popular one," jeered Zero. There were only a few seconds left and Zero was still just ahead, "It seems your girlfriend's going to be in trouble, doesn't it."
Kamui almost stumbled, but he recovered as it hit him what his white haired opponent was trying to do. The man was trying to make him trip. With an extra bit of flourish he managed to bring his score just above Zero's in time for the last beat, leaving Zero with a rather large scowl as the last few notes faded away.
Both men leaned against the handles at the back of the machine. Zero kept quiet. He wanted to zap the program or give Kamui a virus, but he knew the Vocaloids would sense it and there would be hell to pay from the fangirls. So he just leaned there while Kamui turned to the crowd and made a point of acknowledging their support. Somehow Zero suspected the next song was going to play just as much in Kamui's favor...

Miku took note of the scores. "The winner of the first match is Gakupo-san!"
The fangirls screamed with delight.
"Alright, we are now taking votes for the next song!"
There were screams of song requests from the crowd, so many that there was a deafening roar from inside the arcade. This was not helped by the fact that the crowd had gotten bigger since the last time they voted. There were requests for Super Turkish March, Cantarella, but by far the most was for Go Google It.
"O...kay... then... Rin! Is Go Google It on this machine?" Miku asked Rin.

"Yeah... Here it is!" Rin exclaimed happily as she looked at the title "Go Google It" on the machine and pressed start. Rin was still holding her banana peel as Len looked at the machine.

The two men got ready to continue, but Kamui was mentally facepalming. He was already having issues focusing with Luka's life being in danger, and the crowd had chosen a song that he been in a duet with the same Vocaloid he was concerned about. Zero's eyes flicked over and saw the slight bit of stress coupled with a faint blush in Kamui's face. Luckily for the violet haired bishounen, he was turned away from the crowd as he did so.
The steps started slower in this song than the previous one, and Zero had the hesitation figured out as soon as the first line was sung. It was Luka's voice. When Kamui's voice came from the speaker, a smirk crossed his face. He could use this.
As the main part of the song began, he continued his taunting, speaking quietly enough that only Kamui could hear, "That's so cute. I'm looking foward to seeing her face as she dies."
(OOC: I have a planned reaction from Kamui, but I think we need a response. It's very likely Luka is ready to kill over the current song choice, as well. XD)

Luka was currently surpressing the urge to kill whoever had picked this song.
And so far, she wasn't doing a very good job at it. Her face was as red as a beet right now, and she was about ready to start throwing things.
And then the fangirls noticed her.
"OMG! It's Megurine Luka!"
"Isn't this her duet song playing? Awww..."
"And this is when I run," Luka said, and ran through the crowd back into the arcade. She sat down next to Miku and the twins.
"Decided to rejoin us, Luka-san?" Miku asked.
"The fangirls found me. It was either them or the dancing idiots," Luka said, crossing her arms. "I'd rather risk it with the virus than with Gakupo's fangirls." She was still red as a beet.

Rin just giggled a bit at how much Luka was blushing. Len just kind of sweat dropped at the fangirls.

Oh, the humane timing. For as soon as Luka sat down, Kamui reacted to Zero's taunt. He wasn't even aware Luka had made her way back into the store as his foot slipped out from under him and his forehead bounced off the front of the machine, causing him to stumble backwards and have to flail his arm to catch himself. And as if the goddess of luck wasn't sneering at him enough, he had to reach with the hand that had the fan in it, making him miss his attempt at grasping and landing on his butt on the dance pad.
Zero glanced to the side as he continued to follow the song. It didn't seem like there was a chance of Kamui winning this round now. The other man was probably lucky he was still conscious and concussion free. But Zero was more than familiar with the story of the tortoise and the hair and choose to keep his focus despite looking at his failed opponent. That had worked even better than he had planned.
(OOC: Kamui will recover fairly quickly, but I'm pausing once more to give a chance to react.)

Luka glared at both of them. She was fairly sure if the virus won, he was going to do nasty things to her. On the other hand, if Gakupo won, she was going to be forced to date him.
Oh, and it looked like the virus was winning. Joy.
There were only about thirty seconds left in the song, and it didn't look like Gakupo was going to win.
"Come on girls, cheer harder!" Miku said, though not into the megaphone.

"WOOH! Go Gakupo! Win Luka's Heart!" Rin yelled estatically while Len just went to take a look at the music machine.

Kamui managed to get to his feet, although there was a rather large welt growing on his forehead where he'd faceplanted into the front of the machine. It was probably a good thing he was working so hard to focus on not losing this round, as Rin's comment would have probably caused more issues if he hadn't been.
The attempted recovery was rather amazing. He held the fan in front of his face and using every ounce of focus managed to blend style and accuracy. Zero looked to the side as he followed the steps, allowing his peripheal vision to pick up on the notes. For the remaining time, Kamui got a Perfect score, and it was enough to bring him just under Zero's score as the song ended. He frowned rather deeply, looking distraught as he stumbled to a leaning position on the guards at the back of the machine. He had a massive headache and felt a little dizzy, and his loss meant the next match would be the one to decide.
He looked over at Luka and tried to force a smile, but the pain he was in made it come out as a bit of a grimace. He didn't bother with paying attention to the crowd this time. Zero wore a large smirk. With how injured he was, winning the next match was well within grasp. He also turned to Luka and gave her a rather evil glare. His intentions were pretty clear with it. Without saying a word he had let her know he planned on screwing up her system if he won.

((OOC: So, fun fact! It turns out Gakupo's name in english order actually IS Gakupo Kamui. So we've been screwing up this whole time.
Ooops. D:
I apologise for any inconvienence))
Luka gulped. She suddenly wished she was a computer, and could install an antivirus program on herself. Though she had a feeling there was no antivirus program in the world that could stop this thing, which just scared her to think about.
At Gakupo's glance, she just turned away from him, scowling. Her face was still red as a beet. Possibly redder, considering a potted plant in the corner just caught fire.
Miku stood up. "Alright, victory goes to Tekuno! Or whatever he's called! Now, suggest the last song, everyone! And make it a good one!"
Under her breath, she commented, "Or we might have to find another Luka disc..."
"HEY," Luka protested.
Meanwhile, the fangirls were going wild, screaming out various songs.
"Um, no, Ievan Pollka's not on this machine... Cantarella's not either... Under the Darkness isn't even technically a Vocaloid song! It was just a cover! None of Gumi's songs are on here either! She just came out a month ago!" Miku was starting to get flustered now. "Um... 'I have Road Roller Benefits?!' What the..."
"It's probably one of those more silly songs," Luka said. "How about 'SPICE!'?"
Of course, the bishonen loving fangirls went crazy at this.

Len's eyes twitched at the name, he remembered exactly how the music video went and felt a little disgusted. Rin was already looking at the machine before she yelled out "How about Turkish March?" in a gleeful voice.

It was pretty clear what the crowd wanted by now. Considering that probably 90% of it were bishounen fangirls and the "Spice" PVs were rather infamous for both lyrics and animation, with a heavy lean towards animation... well, there was really no contest as to what would be chosen.
Gakupo felt like facepalming, but didn't want to move more than he had to before the next round. Sure, he was known for being fickle but that song was just wrong. Zero glanced over at the Vocaloid and had to wonder what the issue was. He looked towards the crowd and a thought occured, leading to a facepalm on his part. Was it a yaoi pairing song? That he did not need. Not that he was technically either gender, but it was what he appeared and with the current crowd...

Luka saw that there was no way to avoid this. She turned to Rin.
"Rin, go ahead and choose Spice. The fangirls will not be satiated unless you do so," she said, sweatdropping as she did so. This was embarressing.
"Alright, the winning song is SPICE! Competitors, get ready to--"
"TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF!"
"TAKE IT OFF!"
"BISHIE! MUST. TAKE. OFF. SHIRT!"
Miku and Luka both turned toward the entrance of the arcade, where a scarf wearing vocaloid was being attacked by fangirls hungry for sweet man chest.
"Um, wait, what are you doing!?" Kaito asked. The girls tugged every which way at his shirt, trying to pull it off.
"ANY SEXY MAN IN THIS ARCADE MUST TAKE OFF THEIR SHIRT. IT IS THE RULES OF THE DDR COMPETITION!"
"I-I never said that! And stop attacking Kaito, girls!" Miku said through the megaphone.
"Mikuuuu! Heeeeeeeeellllllppppp!"

"Okay!" Rin exclaimed happily as she clicked "Spice!". "Now, go help Kaito, Len!" She yelled as she grabbed the collar of Len's shirt and flung him into the crowd of girls. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Len screamed as he was flung at Kaito.
(Crash scene is up to you guys XD)
