Hello, hello! So I have made a schedule for what stories I'll be posting and when. I have decided to rewrite most of my stories and deleting a few stories I don't want up anymore. It'll be on my profile page so you can check it out there! Um, there are times where I won't be able to update due to being busy or so, but I'll still update on the day it is supposed to be updated on. Of course, all my stories will include my characters- sometimes it is OCxCC or OCxOC or just no pairings at all, so I'm sorry if you don't like having original characters in fanfics or OCxCC type of things, but that's just how I work ^^"

Feel free to check out my other work even if it may be old or just uninteresting to you. Thanks for reading and I know my first chapters are always really slow, so I apologize for that also! Anyways, have a nice day! Note that this story will have profanity in it and I apologized for that if you don't like the use of profanity. This story will be updated on Fridays (unless I am busy or whatnot, but it will still be updated on a Friday nonetheless.)!

I should make disclaimer pages on all my stories, huh. Oof, let's get to it.

"..."

Strings of murmur buzzed through the air, filling the girl's mind as she came to from possibly what she thought was a coma. Groaning a little and slightly squirming her body to get her mind readjusted to herself again, her eyes fluttered open to reveal dull lime orbs that struggled to focus on the scene in front of her. It was too bright for her to see thus prompting her to blink a few times before she recognized the familiar environment she was in.

"... Did I fall sleep in Cadoi City...?"

Groaning tiredly once more, Hakua rubbed her eyes to wake herself back up. She was already in a seated position against a wall next to an alley, and who knows how long she's been seated there knocked out, her back was killing her.

It took a while for her to stand up and check her surroundings, but she eventually got back up on her feet and stretched casually as if nothing had happened. Strange as it was, she had a dream that a group of people were attacking her at A-East. She was running away from them since she knew she couldn't handle the giant mob that was only after her or so she remembered.

"... Why do I hear... so many conversations all at once...? It's starting to hurt my head a little," the young lady mumbled to herself. It was starting to sound warped as the time ticked on by- garbling noises filled her head causing her headache to grow worse. She was going to need to get used to it if the chatting noises were going to continue on to irritate her in the area.

Without her knowing, a young girl watched her from afar taking notes on her- studying her every move and expressions. It was clear that the blonde down below didn't know what kind of situation she was put in now that she was walking around casually and trying to talk to the people who passed by.

"My bet is that the girl isn't going to last the game for at least three days," the female hummed as she kicked her legs off the edge of the building.

"Hm? And why do you say that?" her friend asked with a smirk. "If that's what you're deciding on, then I'll say that she'll last the entire game."

Fixing her sea-green eyes onto violet ones, she simply smiled and shrugged before she answered his question. "She's lost. That girl doesn't even have a clue that she is no longer in the RG and she isn't even close to anyone who's capable of making a pact with her. The noise will get to her if she doesn't find one soon." Her gaze was then fixed back onto the blonde in teal who was now chasing down a person with a completely confused expression on her face. She was possibly doomed at this point unless she was lucky enough to find someone who understood what the UG was all about.

"Well then, I'd say either you treat me to Mr. H's coffee orrrr... we can have fun and let me watch you sweet talk with me if you lose," Joshua giggled teasingly.

"Oh, go to hell...! I'm not going to embarrass myself for your entertainment!" Naomi retorted shyly.

"But we're already in hell. Sort of."

While the two continued to watch the new participant and decide on a wager for the current game, Hakua continued to look for a person who would finally take notice of her existence.

"Hello? Why aren't you answering me?" she growled. She was starting to become very impatient after having at least ten people walk right on pass her when she started to attempt to speak with a person. "Sheesh, these assholes sure have the nerve to ignore someone like me..."

At this point she, gave up trying to get the attention of the people who she spot and decided to walk back home. Hakua started noticing something strange when traveling back however- no one was looking nor shooting a glance at her even when she was standing directly in front of them. Before, the young lady simply thought they were looking past her to read something or were just paying attention to something else, but when she was nearly going to walk into a man, he didn't even react.

"W-what's going on...? Hey, can you see me?" she asked anxiously. "Blink twice if you can. Of course that won't confirm anything, but... AM I GOING CRAZY?"

"Umm... Are you okay...?"

Swiftly turning around to see who was asking for her well-being, she was instantly hit with relief to see a tall boy staring directly at her- for sure it was at her this time. He blinked when she grabbed onto his arms- the start of her own game she liked to call manipulation. Rather than busting out into anger, she quickly shifted to being helpless and very frighten to capture the boy's attention completely.

"I'm okay... Just... No one is reacting to me? What's going on...?" she replied, looking around their surroundings. People continued to walk pass them as if they weren't there, which bothered her more than it needed to while it seemed that the young boy had already fixed himself to the unnatural behavior everyone had.

"I don't really know for sure...?" he replied shaking her off casually. "I just remembered being shoved out into the streets and then suddenly darkness. After that some kid came by and said to make some kind of pact; it'll save me." His now free limbs allowed him to use his hands and brush off the sections of his arms where the girl had grabbed onto before he stuffed his hands back into his pockets. Flashing a quick smile he casually greeted her. "Name's Kichiro Yokoyama. And you?"

"The nerve of this bastard brushing me off like that...!"

Instead of scowling at him for getting her off so bluntly while she was making a move, she flashed a shy smile instead and replied sweetly. "F-Fuzen Yagi..." She didn't want to used her real name around this boy- didn't know him, never spoke to him, he was clearly irrelevant to her.

"Fuzen, hm? Well if that kid said making a pact would save me, make a pact with me?"

He seemed too trusting, an easy target to lie to and to use for her own deeds especially if he was just going to listen to some brat who blurts random things out. What is this pact and life saving scenario is he talking about anyways? He probably didn't know or so she believed.

"Sure! Please keep me safe while we figure this out," she answered with a grin.

Kichiro continued to smile casually before he turned away and walked off as if nothing had happened, leaving Hakua completely stunned. He wasn't clinging to her like the other boys did nor did he seem to fall for her looks nearly instantly. It felt strange... and even infuriating. Seeing that he was getting further away from her, the girl allowed a low growl to escape from her throat before running after him to catch up.

"Looks like she found a partner- that boy you passed by earlier... A loss for me I suppose. ... J, stop cheating on our bets!"

"I promise, dear, that I didn't cheat. This time. Just gave a tip to the lost soul really."

Sighing, Naomi rested her chin in the palm of her propped up hand comfortably as she continued to watch the two pair make a bee line all around Shibuya like lost dogs.

"Hey? Just what was her entry fee this time?" she suddenly asked with a smile. She was well aware that her friend wasn't going to answer her question and lead it off the train tracks for her to answer her own question, but she didn't mind and always replied in a joking manner rather than disappointment.

"Oh yeah, I didn't mention it yet did I? Well, you can figure it out yourself. You ARE the 'recorder' so you should be able to find out very soon if you keep doing your job, Naomi, hehe."

"God damn it, why are you like this all the time? Come on, let's head back. I'll treat you to that coffee early- I know I'll lose that bet against you again."


Hakua: I suppose it's my damn job to say this line. God, couldn't you hire someone else to do this lame task?

Kichiro: I can if you wan-

No.

Kichiro: I'll just... stand over here then...

Hakua: Ugh... Feel free to ask me, Kichiro, or our creator anything you like. We'll answer your questions in the author's footer section at the end of every other chapter after this one whether it's me or that boy over there or the girl making me say this.

Kichiro: That boy over there... -awkward- I guess I am just a random guy you just met.

Right... Anyways, yes, send in any silly comments and we'll reply to the questions or comments that are directed to either of us! R&R and enjoy!
