The world ends with whom?

by Sio chan1

Neku sees two girls hes never even met before die before his very eyes, what will come next as he is thrust into an unknown game with an unknown composer and game master, not even Joshua knows.

The cold harsh winter winds sliced through Shibuyas Udagawa backstreet tearing the hoods from people's heads and the warmth from their faces. The two small girls begging for scraps or coins [they didn't mind either way] were clinging to each other in a penguin like huddle for warmth. Except…..their was none, no loving heat to caress them and make them feel at home…if they had one, but now the time had come…their weak bodies fell into the street without a word and no one dared look at them, no one wanted to see the cruel harsh reality that was the death of these two young souls.

One boy looked, his ginger hair shot up but was tamed ever so slightly by huge headphones that were larger than his head ironically. He looked, and then the bite of flesh and bullet was heard, and he fell closing his eyes for the very last time as his fur hood soaked up the red ooze spilling from him.

Neku awoke in an environment dissimilar to the one he was used to, but at the same time it was familiar and obvious….he was at scramble, again and he was in this game, again…who were those girls he saw starving and hungry on the street. His brain wouldn't stop replaying their bodies falling and hitting the lightly dusted ground covered with the thinnest layer of snow with the dullest of thuds. His purple eyes stared off into the waning sunlight as night began to claim the world of the UG, the UG should have been destroyed….Joshua was supposed to take care of that but why was this place so cold and dull compared to the UG he was once in.

He turned his head to see the two girls once again standing and attempting to call strangers to them so that they could talk and hopefully get help and food. But no one looked, no one could see. Neku got a text and then that familiar lightning bolt of pain shot through his body and made him lance in pain. He watched the two girls do so as well 'create a three way pact, there are only three players in this game, you have 2 minutes.' He read inside his contorted brain, what was going on why was he in this confounded game again.

He looked at the two girls, the only other players in this peculiar withdrawn game…"Who are you" he asked softly. They turned and stared at him with open but dead eyes.
