Hello, everyone. I am LunarBlaze if you didn't already know that. I usually write Fairy Tail fics and Soul Eater fics but I decided to do something different. If this goes well, I'll keep it up, but if not, I'll take it down. Anyways, this takes place about a year after the original game. Here's the full summary:
Summary: Joshua and Mr. H have returned to Shibuya and Neku and the others have continued to live their normal lives. Neku and Shiki have very noticeable feelings for each other but continue to deny that and just keep telling everyone that they are just friends. Rhyme has slowly returned back to her old self. Despite everything that has happened, the Reaper's Game still takes place. However, the game will once again be thrown into chaos.
Enjoy the chapter.
Another Game to Play
Chapter 1: Welcome to Shibuya, New Player
"I wonder... how everything's been. It's been a few years since I last saw him... he was... so alone. And he died. But that hasn't been proven since he just sent me a map and a note saying he was looking forward to seeing me again. Is this the same person I knew before...? Something must have happened to make him like this." I stared out the window to see a huge city right below me. Shibuya, the place where he died, or at least, that was what I was told. But he was alive, though. People can't just come back to life... right? The plane slightly shook but quickly stopped. Probably turbulence or a strong gust of wind. Either way, nothing to worry about. Without a care in the world, I subconsciously took out my MP3 and stuck the ear buds in. A random song began to play just as the speakers of the plane came to life.
"Attention all passengers. We have arrived in Shibuya. Please put away and turn off all electronics, buckle your seatbelts, and adjust your seats into the upward position. Thank you and I hope you enjoy your day." I quickly followed the directions (although I only had to put my MP3 away) and glanced out the window again. The streets below were swarming with people. So many that I mistook cars for people. Hopefully, I would get used to this crowded city by the time school started. After the plane landed, I swiftly got off and went straight toward the baggage claim, despite there being no luggage yet. Seeing there was nothing to do, I took a seat next to the wall in front of one of the reclaims. I flipped open my phone to see I got three messages, two from him and one from...
"Why would a stranger text me? Delete." The third message was gone. The two said his parents couldn't make the drive down here (probably because of work) and that I should take the bus or a taxi to WildKat, a cafe on Cat Street. For reason why he wanted me to meet him there, I had no clue. I would think he was busy too. A short ring vibrated in the air as the reclaim began to move and turn. I hurriedly stood up and grabbed my stuff, on which several occasions I accidentally grabbed someone else's, and out the door. Once outside, I checked the map of Shibuya and see Cat Street wasn't too far. Several blocks to two miles was about the distance. "I can make that," I smirk, speed-walking toward my destination. The walk there was relatively boring, other than hearing a few interesting conversations. However, about half way there, someone rushed past me, bumping into me as well. Judging from the impact, the person was running almost at full speed. I didn't see anything go after them though. "I don't have time for this." I continued my trek to WildKat without any more disturbances whatsoever.
The streets slowly became less and less crowded as I travelled to Cat Street until there was only a few people walking every now and then. Was Cat Street not popular or something? I looked at a store a few yards away from where I stood. Jupiter of the Monkey. For some reason, I liked that trend and I always had for several years now. "Focus. The task at hand is almost finished." After letting my thoughts refocus, I walked into the building a few feet from my right. It was WildKat. Once I came into the cafe, I saw there was a group of people at the tables. The biggest of the bunch had a black beanie/cap, a white, sleeveless shirt, a pair of yellow shorts, and a pair of black and red shoes. He looked pretty muscular too. The smallest dressed similar to the biggest. She had (yes, a she. I can tell from her build) a matching hat, an orange long-sleeved shirt, white-gray shorts, and black shoes with the back of them being yellow. I think I heard a bell when she moved. The two of them had their backs to me. The other girl, who was facing more sideways, had short dark brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and slightly tanned skin. She wore a pair of circular glasses, a green short-sleeved jacket with a black shirt underneath, a red skirt, and dark red shoes. She looked like she was... holding a black, stuffed pig? Never mind. The last of them had spiky orange hair, dark blue eyes, and pale-ish tanned skin. He wore a purple, sleeveless shirt with the collard almost covering the bottom part of his face, a black wrist guard on his right wrist, white shorts, purple-shite shoes, and a pair of purple headphones around his neck. I knew the last person all too well. "Oi, Neku. Why did you tell me to come here?" The orange-haired teen looked at me and got up.
"I would have told you to meet us at Hachiko but the stores in that area were being remodeled so we came here," Neku said as he helped me put my luggage down. "But how have you been? Last time I saw you, you had an eye patch, a cast for your leg, and three broken fingers." I sighed. He just had to bring that up didn't he? Well, I had news that he might not like so let's see his reaction
"I've been fine really. Although, my parents want me to start high school in another school so that's why I'm here. I need a place to stay," I explained, seeing surprise cross his face for a second. "I would have gone to my home school but they recently closed it down temporarily." He looked at like I was joking but I wasn't. I wasn't joking in the slightest.
"I guess you'll be bunking with me then," Neku stated, rubbing the back of his head. The brunette glanced at Neku and cleared her throat, obviously wanting him to introduce them. The two with the matching hats turned to look at me and Neku as well. The pair both had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Neku looked at me and then his friends. "Guys, this is Hitomu, my cousin. Hitomu, these are my friends, Shiki, Beat, and Rhyme."
"I'm glad to see you finally opened yourself up, Neku," I said teasingly as Neku half-glared at me. He got the joke though. I can see it in his eyes. Then again, I can always see the true emotions of others.
"You two look nothing alike. How are you guys related?" Shiki asked. One of the most asked questions of my life. But she had a point though, like all people who ask the related question. I look nothing like Neku. Unlike Neku, my hair was jet-black with a hint of blue and quite tamed, my eyes were a dark purple shade, and my skin was slightly tanner. I wore a white shirt with a loose black tie, black pants with a wispy-like pattern at my ankles, and gray running shoes. I had a slightly bigger build than Neku did.
"Our moms are sisters but you have a point with the looks. Hey, Neku, I'm going to go explore Shibuya for awhile. Text me when we have to go back to your place," I said, leaving before any of them could object. It's not I didn't like any of them; I just felt like I was intruding. As I walked Shibuya (making a stop at Jupiter of the Monkey, Ramen Don, and AMX), I arrived at the Scramble Crossing, the place with the most people. I was about to cross the street when my phone vibrated, signifying I received another text. I open my phone to see it was from the same person as before. Deciding that it was a spam text, I finally decided to read it. My legs began to move as the light turned green. As I opened the text, there was a screech. I turned my head to see a car moving right at me. I froze. Everything froze except the car. The car was right in front of me when I read the message.
"Let the Games begin."
Everything disappeared.
…
I expected horrible, immense pain, but there wasn't any.
I expected to feel my blood dripping from my body, for my body to be warm and sticky, but my body felt cold and stiff.
I expected to hear shouting, yelling, and cars honking, but it was silent.
I expected to feel broken, but I felt like I was still in one piece.
I expected my voice to scream out in any moment, but words never formed.
I expected darkness, but I'm surrounded by whiteness.
But then... all of this info began entering my head. I couldn't understand, but as soon as it stopped, everything changed.
And that's the end of the chapter. I hope you guys liked the chapter. I am accepting OCs but a very limited amount. I will update the positions available on my profile daily until all of them are gone.
