Please read and review thanks. Sorry coma key is broken. Italics mean person is thinking.
Sasuke woke up in the woods. He felt dazed. He reached into his pocket and found a note.
Dear Participant
Hi! Welcome to death tag! Your class was headed to a school field trip! However the bus driver gassed you all kidnapped you and placed u all in the woods! Now you'll play death tag! It's like tag but you die! people wearing a green vest are it! If you get tagged you will die! There are certain items you can pick up to help you survive! If you try to leave the arena or you scream for help you will be caught tortured than killed! Good luck!
Sincerely Mr. Tag
P.S the survivors will be awarded handsomely!
"What the fuck?" Sasuke said.
Suddenly he heard footsteps rapidly approaching. He quickly hid behind a tree. A boy from his school he recognized as Jiroubou was sprinting towards him.
Soon a man in a green vest caught up to Jiroubou. He had cornered him against a tree. Jiroubou looked at the man with absolute fear in his eyes.
"Please…" Jiroubou begged with tears in his eyes. The man was wearing a mask so you couldn't see his emotions. He cocked his head and seemed to look at Jiroubou skeptically. Than the man slowly reached his hand out.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Jiroubou screamed.
The man's hand lightly touched his forehead.
"Tag." The masked man whispered.
He pulled out a gun and in one swift motion put a pullet through Jiroubou's head.
Sasuke watched as blood shot out of Jiroubou's head. And spilled all over the tree behind him.
Sasuke fainted.
Sasuke woke up in a cave. As he came to he to saw a boy from his school sitting down. Sasuked recognized this boy as Shikamaru.
"Before you start asking any questions I'll explain. As crazy as it seems it seems some psychopath kidnapped us and put us in the woods. He's having us play a game called death tag. People in green vests tag us and if we're tagged these vested minions have the option to shoot us in the head. Apparently there are certain items in these woods we can find that will help us survive. We don't know when the game will end but apparently there will be survivors. It's all in the back of your letter. Man this is so troublesome."
Sasuke looked at the back of the letter and indeed it was all true.
"Cmon let's find some food." Said Shikamaru lazily.
Sasuke did remember the back of the note saying there was food scattered across these woods.
Sasuke was still in shock but didn't say anything. He always heard about crazy serial killers kidnapping people. He never thought he would be captured by one though. The image of Jirobou getting shot kept replaying in his head. He felt like throwing up.
"Run!" Shikamaru suddenly yelled.
Sasuke didn't need to be told twice. He sprinted ahead and quickly looked back to see a masked man in a green vest was chasing them.
Looks like tag has begun.
As he ran he noticed there was a nametag on the man that read BOB1.
After running about ten minutes Sasuke was getting desperate. Shikamaru was lagging behind and was getting tired.
"Dammit I remember Shikamaru was super lazy in school. He's probably out of shape."
Suddenly an angel showed itself.
Sasuke looked up ahead and saw a Shotgun tied to a tree!
Holy shit this must be one of those items the letter was talking about. Sasuke sprinted towards the tree and jumped to try and grab the shotgun. However it was too high.
"Fuck are you serious! I need a ladder. I need….Shikamaru!"
Sasuke knew the only way to reach that shogtun was to use Shikamaru's shoulders as a base.
"Dammit Shikamaru get over!" Sasuke screamed.
A minute later Shikamaru ran to Sasuke and he already knew what to do. He lined up against the tree and sasuke stood on his shoulders.
"FUCKING HURRY!" Shikamaru screamed.
Sasuked snatched the shotgun and whirled around. The man in the green vest was just a few feet away.
Sasuke pulled the trigger and instantly a spray of bullet blasted through the man's skull.
Sasuke and Shikamaru collapsed to the ground.
They both lay their panting for a few minutes. Suddenly Sasuke laughed. Than Shikamaru laughed. Than they both started laughing like maniacs. This was real. They were in a death game. Sasuke just murdered someone. After a few minutes they were both silent.
"Any more ammo?" asked Shikamaru.
Sasuke checked the gun.
"Nope. This Mr. Tag clearly feels like trolling us. "
Sasuke and Shikamaru decided to continue to look for food. After about twenty minutes they spotted a lunch box. They opened it to find a few piece of fruit some sandwiches and some chips. They ate about half of it and saved the rest for later. As they kept walking they kept looking for signs of people food or weapons.
"Stop. Look." Said Shikamaru.
Sasuke stopped and looked to his left. His mouth went completely dry. He saw a boy he recognized from his school named Dosu. He had a bullet in his head. However just above him was a shotgun tied to a tree at the same height as the one Sasuke found.
He was trying to grab that shotgun. However it was out of his reach. Just as I thought this serial killer planned all this. That shogun was specifically placed at that height to force you to use teamwork to obtain it. This killer is playing games with us.
They went up to the corpse and examined it.
"Hey look a watch." Shikamaru said.
They took it from the corpse and saw a piece of tape stuck on the watch. It read Death Tag.
It must be one of the items from the game.
"Hey this could be useful. I think the letter said something about safe times." Said Shikamaru.
They reread the back the of the letter and indeed Shikamaru was right. Apparently between 11:00PM to 7:00AM it was a safe zone. During this time there would be no deathtag. Sasuke gussed it was designed this way to give participants time to rest. However if participants didn't have a watch they wouldn't know what time it is and wouldn't be able to take advantage of the safe zone.
So that's why the watch is a Death tag item.
"Hm. It's 11:30PM right now. I say we rest and see what nightmares await us tommorow hm?" Said Shikamaru.
Sasuke had to admit despite the insane situation Shikamaru had a way of somehow being lazily calm and uncaring.
I guess it's just his nature. Or maybe he realizes panicking won't help the situation at all. Either way he's accepted this death game quite quickly. I'm glad he's the one who found me passed out.
"Sounds like a good plan." Said Sasuke.
Just a story I made from watching too much battle royale saw hunger games gantz and btoom lol. Survival game where people die. I intend to use original ideas .
