This is my first fanfic. I hope you enjoy it.
Kaito opened his eyes and found himself standing in the middle of an intersection. Why am I here? he thought. Suddenly, frogs appeared out of nowhere and started attacking him. "Make a pact with me. If you do, they will stop attacking." said a voice from behind him. Kaito turned around and saw that the voice belong to a boy with spiky orange hair, wearing purple headphones. The boy with the headphones repeated, "Make a pact with me. That's the only way we can defeat the Noise, unless you want to be erased."
Seeing that he had no other options, Kaito agreed to make a pact with the boy. Lights engulfed the both of them and then disappeared. Fireballs appeared and destroyed the frogs.
"By the way, my name is Neku, Sakuraba Neku. For the sake of convenience, what is your name?" asked the boy with the headphones.
"Kaito. Tenjo Kaito. You can leave. I don't need your help anymore."
"Then how do you plan to erase the Noise, those monsters I fought. You don't even know how to use Psychs."
"Not my problem. I'm going home."
"As much as I hate it, we're stuck in this together. Nobody else can see, hear, or help you. I am the only person who can keep you alive."
"As I said before, this is not my problem."
"Fine then, I'll make you a deal. If you can the attention of one person, then you can do whatever you want and I'll leave you alone. If you can't, then you have to do what I say."
"This is going to be easy." Kaito tried to push over an old woman he saw, but he just passed through her and fell to the ground.
Neku laughed. "You believe me now?"
Kaito got off the floor and said, "Fine, you win. What do I have to do?"
"Today's mission is to reach a place called Heartland Tower. Since this is my first time here, I have no idea where the hell it is."
"You've got to be kidding me. It's the large tower with a giant heart on it. Kind of hard to miss, don't you think?"
"I told you before, this is my first time here." Neku looked at the palm of his right hand. There was a red timer on it. "We have 10 minutes to get there, so you better start running."
They ran towards the building, but Kaito kept lagging behind. After running for 5 minutes, they had to stop because Kaito couldn't keep up.
Neku leaned against a wall and said, "What is your problem? Have you never ran before in your life. It's not even that far."
Kaito was panting after every word he said, "I don't run. I have Orbital fly me to where ever I need to go."
"Just great. I paired myself with a rich brat."
"Who are you calling a brat. I happen to be 18."
"Let's just get going."
"I haven't caught my breath yet. Wait up!"
After running for another minute, they finally made it to Heartland Tower. Neku looked at his palm again and the timer disappeared. He also looked at Kaito, who seemed to be in a bad state, with sweat pouring down his face and his short ragged breaths.
Neku looked at Kaito with disapproval and said, "You need to learn how to fight the Noise. Check your pockets; there should be pins in there."
Kaito checked his pockets and there were pins in there. "What are these things doing in here? I never put them in my pocket."
"This is proof that you're in the Reaper's Game. To use these pins, you need to concentrate. If you're feeling better, then you should practice using them."
Neku took a black pin with a skull on it out of his pocket and flipped it. Noise began appearing and Neku pushed Kaito into the middle of the mess. Kaito seemed surprised and then turned furious, "What are you doing? Are you trying to get me killed?"
Neku just stood there and said, "You need to learn how to use your pins. I will be here if you need any advice and don't worry I'll save you if you're in trouble."
Kaito didn't want to ask for help; his pride wouldn't let him, so he said, "I'll be fine. This is going to be nothing. Save your worry for someone else." He closed his eyes and concentrated on the pin in his hand. Pillars of fire appeared from the ground and erased all of the surrounding Noise.
Neku smiled, "You're also a natural at Psychs. I guess I chose the right partner after all."
The next one is coming soon. Please review if you want more.
