I obviously don't own Battle Royale, or I wouldn't be writing a fan-fic! Besides, even if you did sue me, you wouldn't get anything, all I have is a load of junk in my room.

This fanfic is based on the manga version of Battle Royale, the movie is alright and I haven't read the novel yet, but I really want to, but this is based on the manga.

He gazed out, overlooking the southern part of the island. Covered in forest, this beautiful scenery held some of the most gruesome sights you could ever lay eyes upon. Most of them were his doings, but some were from others' mistakes or on purpose. Being forced to brutally murder your classmates wasn't what he thought he would be spending his time doing, but you had to do what had to be done to survive.

A gust of wind blew over the hills and he let his black hair flow in the breeze, a couple of strands hitting his face. Slowly and silently, he walked along the edge of the hill making his way in the direction he remembered seeing some smoke come from last night. He was planning on being able to find a trail that could lead him to his next victim.

Reaching for his trusted machine gun, the mass murderer zipped back up his health bag then leapt from the hillside down into the nearest collection of trees. He dotted in and out of the trees keeping a close eye out for any sign of a human who may have passed through.

Soon enough he passed a cold and burnt out fire. There weren't any footprints to be able to follow, but there was another trail if you looked close enough; a trail of broken stems of leaves that could only have been broken by a human who had passed through. He could easily tell that his prey was at the most, just two hours ahead. Wasting not another second Kiriyama was gone in a heartbeat.

"I can tell you are tired. You've slowed down you paste by half, so don't even try and deny it again." Came the call from the heavily built older teen in front.

She sighed and finally admitted it, "I guess there isn't anything I can really say is there?"

Kawada turned to face the younger brunette, a small smirk placed on his face, "I guess not. Come on, we'll take a break here." He placed the health packs down beside a tree then sat next to them leaning on a tree and lit a cigarette.

Taking a puff from the small drug he glanced at the moping teen opposite him. "Look, we both know how Shuuya is. He wouldn't let anything happen to him, not when he knows that there is a way to get you off this island." He tried reassuring her. He knew himself that Shuuya would be fine; it was just a matter a convincing little Noriko over there.

She sighed again lifting herself up and standing shoulders slumped. "I know," she began, "Shu will be fine." She said half-heartedly, but they both knew that she was just trying to convince herself. "I've got to go and..." she trailed off closing her eyes.

Getting her meaning Kawada reached into one of the health packs and brought out a hand gun. Noriko slowly made her way over to Kawada and took the gun, she still didn't feel completely certain holding one, even though they were fighting for their lives out here, but she took it anyway.

As she began to make her way away from Kawada he called out to her "Don't go too far! We aren't familiar with the surroundings and I haven't got any of the wires up!" She gave a light nod as she left which Kawada caught.

Unfortunately the teenager was in such deep thought that she didn't really focus on where she was going. She was worrying so much about Shuuya that when she snapped herself out of her thoughts she wasn't sure if she was ten or one hundred meters from Kawada. She began to panic a little, not knowing who or what was around her. She turned back to face the direction she had just been walking in and gently called out for her classmate.

When no reply came she forced herself to not become more panicked. She began to piece everything together in her head.

She was quite far away from her friend, in an area which she had no idea about and could have insane teenagers roaming about in. She just wanted to go to the toilet and head back, so she decided to do just that. She couldn't have been wondering in different directions, just one straight line, so how hard could it be to find her classmate.

She was going to find a spot where she could do her business and then head back. That is until she heard a branch snap from right behind her.

Rustling from a tree's leaves could be heard next and Noriko could easily tell that another human had come to join her. Whether they were friend or foe she was about to find out.

She turned around to face the noise, gun close to her side and finger on the trigger. She hadn't actually shot anyone yet, all she did was reload them but at least she knew how to use one.

As if in slow motion, a foot appeared from behind a tree and immediately she knew it was a boy. The trouser leg came next then another came and they stood right next to each other. For some reason Noriko just couldn't look at her new arrival, she had such a terrible feeling about them, she already had an idea of who it was and immediately knew that she was pretty much dead already.

The clinking of a machine gun confirmed who it was, there was only one islander who had one; looking up to meet their eyes sure enough she was face to face with no-one other than Kazuo Kiriyama.

---

She stared into those blank, black eyes of his; there was no emotion in them, just, nothingness. Just gazing into that black abyss gave her a shiver.

Noriko wasn't quite sure what to do, the last time she had seen this man was when they were ambushed by him, they being Shuuya, Kawada and her. Shu had then gone to fight Kiriyama by himself and Noriko hadn't seen him since. Yet here was Kiriyama, so what had happened to Shu? Was he already dead? No. That wouldn't happen; it couldn't happen!

Should she kill Kiriyama now? There was no doubt that he was the cause of most of their classmates' deaths, but that means that he was highly dangerous. After their encounter she didn't even know if she would be able to even come close to killing him.

But there was no doubt in her mind that he wouldn't even hesitate to kill her, so if she was going to die here and now she wasn't going to go down without a fight. Her grip tightened on her gun that was still at her side.

Kiriyama saw this in the corner of his dark eyes, he knew what she was thinking, and it was written all over her face. He recognised this girl; she was the one that hung around with the pesky Shuuya. He was becoming a nuisance and he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. He knew that this girl was precious to him and maybe he could use that to his advantage.

There wasn't any use in killing this girl now if he could use her to kill Shuuya as well, then maybe killing that knew transfer student in the process. Yes, he could see a plan already forming in his mind.

Shakily Noriko lifted up the gun slightly. She didn't really want to be the first one to make a move if Kiriyama wasn't going to harm her, but she couldn't tell what he was thinking, not a single emotion was written on his face, and she really could think properly with his intense gaze on her.

As her gun got higher and almost reached to point where is was point at his chest, Kiriyama disappeared suddenly.

Not having a clue where he had gone her eyes widened and she could already feel her heart beat in her chest. A gust of wind blew right on her and a second later Kiriyama was right beside her, on her left.

His gun in his right hand, tip on her left temple and his left hand on her wrist holding her arm and gun in place. Overall he was way too close for comfort, the only part which was touching her was his hand but his frame towered over her and that was close enough.

She was beyond scared now, she was petrified and also a little confused. Why hadn't he shot her yet? There wasn't any reason for her to be kept alive, maybe he was just stalling her death, but she wasn't really complaining.

With a little pressure on a certain part of her wrist she was forced to drop the gun. It fell to the floor with a clutter and Kiriyama let go of her, Noriko pulled back her arm to her side.

Kiriyama then moved slightly away from her, gun still pointing at her, and reached down for the gun. He placed it inside his health pack and Noriko got a glance of what he had inside it, she was mildly shocked at the amount of weapons he had. She already had an idea that he had many guns and bullets, since their last encounter, but seriously, he was armed to the bone. There was no way that she would have been able to beat him with her pitiful gun, let alone now, with no gun at all. She really felt pathetic.

She looked up at him; he just seemed to be staring at her. They were just standing there, the wind blowing through the trees. Noriko had no idea what to do. She knew she couldn't save herself, she was terrified and she was now in the hands of the most dangerous person on the island. Her only hope now was Kawada coming to her rescue, she had been a long time, and hopefully he would have noticed that by now.

His voice snapped her out of her thoughts, "Do you have any other weapons?" He asked her with such an even voice.

Her voice however was so shaky and unconvincing "N-no" and he defiantly didn't believe her answer.

"Take off your jacket," he all but demanded. She guessed he was going to search her for weapons, which really wasn't that hard to figure out considering his previous question. So slowly she slid her two arms out of each sleeve and let the school jacket fall to the ground, too scared to be able to hold it.

Kiriyama switched hands to hold the gun and stretched out an arm to feel Noriko but she back away from his touch. Not caring what she did or didn't approve of, Kazuo took a step towards her and reached out to her again, quicker this time so she didn't have time to back away, and put his hand on her left shoulder then slowly felt down her arm.

Noriko hated the feel of his touch. She wanted to smack away his hand and run from him, but she couldn't, she was just too fucking scared. He was now feeling her back and she just stood there. Frozen like a statue.

Kazuo walked round to her other side and felt her other arm but then stopped and just looked at her. She just stared straight in front of herself and felt another shiver go through her because of his gaze.

His hand suddenly went to her chin and he forced her head to turn and look at him. He peered into her eyes and seemed to be studying her. Only thirty seconds later he let go of her face and open up his health bag and placed his gun inside it. He obviously knew that she was too weak and scared to be of any threat to him.

He then went back to searching her for weapons and re-searched her right arm.

Now with two hands free, he stood in front of her and felt her shoulders and then under her armpits. He then slid down both of his arms down the side of her torso and then slid his hands to her abdomen; Noriko closed her eyes tightly as his hands slid upwards and just under her breasts.

She could tell at that very moment that Kiriyama wasn't a pervert. He was only feeling for weapons, not groping at all, but she didn't relax around him for a second. Kazuo then felt round the curve of her breasts, around her bra, and not finding any weapons moved his hands away.

He bent down to the level of her legs and felt round the rim of her school skirt. Then Noriko knew where he was going next, but she could help it, Kiriyama's hands slid up the sides of her thighs and under her skirt. She let out a little gasp and bit her lip while trying her hardest not to kick him.

Kazuo ignored her completely and continued to search for any hidden weapons. He probably disliked this just as much as she did, he wasn't too keen on any human contact and feeling round the frame of this girl's knickers was going way beyond the line of any contact he had expected on this game.

But soon enough he was done and pulled away. Noriko let out a breath that she wasn't even aware that she was holding in. Kiriyama then peered down at her shoes and examined them for a minute before asking her to take them off. Noriko slowly sat down and began to take off her shoes with him watching her every move. She handed them to him; he examined them before giving them back to her.

Kiriyama was now satisfied that she didn't have any hidden any weapons and they both stood up. He knew her well enough to know that she couldn't out-run him and wasn't really a threat in anyway, but just to make sure, he decided to at least tie her hands up.

He didn't have any rope on him, and he couldn't make a strong enough rope with any stuff from the forest around them so he had to use the next best thing, his belt. He unbuckled it and slid it out from around his trousers then fixed his eyes on Noriko who hadn't moved an inch. He stood behind her, took hold of each of her wrists and forced them together behind her back, then wrapped the belt many times around her tiny wrists until they were tight but not too tight about her wrists.

He walked around Noriko and stood in front with his back facing her, then signalled for her to follow him. They both took a couple a steps before Kiriyama stopped in his tracks, spun round and immediately placed his hand over Noriko's mouth while glaring in the direction in which she had originally come from. They stood there in silence for a couple of seconds before Kazuo twisted his hand around so now only a finger was placed onto her lips and she understood to be silent.

His hand was then placed round her arm with a firm grip and he pulled Noriko past himself and pushed her quickly in the direction that they were heading in. She began to walk but Kazuo gave her a shove and she quickened her pace into a small silent jog.

Just for a second she swore that she had heard a quiet called of her name in the distance.

___

Where the hell is she? Kawada was still sitting beside the tree that Noriko had left him sitting beside. Surely it doesn't take this long for a girl to go to the toilet.

Shogo decided to go and find out what was going on with little Noriko, so he picked up all of the supplies that were lying about and headed in the direction in which Noriko had left.

He wandered for a couple of minutes keeping a vague pathway which he assumed Noriko had taken. He called out her name a little, being careful not to attract any unwanted attention, but not receiving an answer. Now he began to get slightly worried.

Where the hell has she gone? Oh, god, Shu is gonna be pissed if he finds that I've lost her, or worse. He gave out one last call of her name, a little louder than the last ones, but, again, received no reply. He couldn't just go rampaging through the forest hoping to find her. Who knows what or who is out there? He didn't even know which direction she has gone in.

What the hell was he going to do now?

Author's Notes: Well this is my first Battle Royale fan-fiction and I've decided to base it on Kazuo Kiriyama and Noriko Nakagawa. Love it? Hate it? Please tell me, feedback is greatly appreciated. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure where I'm going to go with this fiction. I can already tell that there may not be a happy ending. It's gonna be hard letting any sort of romance happen in the fic if Kiriyama hasn't got any emotions, but I'll work with what I've got. With this chapter I got some of the ideas from around chapter 59 (I think) in the Battle Royale Manga, with the tying Noriko's hands with a belt and searching her for any weapons. Once again, feedback is greatly appreciated!
