Hello everyone! This is actually a sequel to Love riddles, who was already a sequel to Little devil. So be sure to have checked those two first, otherwise you might get confused. So this fic will focus on the AnR kids from my headcanon as they appeared in my two previous fics. I'll be a fic more about action, with some shipping moments. I hope you'll like it.
Azuma Aki woke up in a bed that wasn't his. The first thing he noticed as he woke up was that the ceiling wasn't the same as his bedroom. He got out of bed and examined the place he was. It was definitely not his room. Last time he checked, his room didn't have bars. Didn't take him long to understand where he was: in a jail cell.
His first instinct was to freak out, but he managed to keep his composure. For a reason he didn't know, he ended up in jail. He was pretty sure he never committed any crime.
He tried to remember the last thing he did before going to bed. In fact, he couldn't remember going to sleep at all. The last thing he could remember was coming back from school. Did he collapse on his way home? It would explain why he was wearing his school uniform and not his pyjama.
So the most logical conclusion to his situation was that during is way home, he was knocked out and then jailed. But the reason why remained a mystery.
Suddenly, he heard a rang. It was his phone. He pulled it out and looked at it. He had received an email. Curious, he opened it and began to read it.
"Dear Azuma Aki, you have been chosen to participate in a survival game. You're one of the 8 targets participating in this game. You all have been locked inside a jail with various criminals, all prisoners. If they managed to kill one of the targets, they will be freed. But even if you are targets, it doesn't mean you can't fight back. At each prisoner you kill, you'll earn a point. The targets who ended up with the most point at the end of the game will have a wish granted. Killing another target give you 10 points. You can also try to find the exit, but in this case, no wish. The choice is yours. Killing or be killed, or trying to survive until the end, those are your options. Good luck!"
Aki nearly dropped his phone. Was it a joke? It wasn't funny. But given the fact he had most likely been kidnapped, it was probably not a prank. It was serious. His life was in danger. He didn't want to kill anyone, but he was ready to defend himself to survive. He was an Azuma after all, he had been trained to fight.
Suddenly, the door opened and Aki left the cell, determined to survive and find the exit.
Was that supposed to be a joke? Because it was of poor taste. Inukai Isuko punched the wall with anger. He just looked at his phone and read about the survival game. He couldn't believe someone dared to put him into such a twisted game. Him, the great Inukai Isuko, being treated as a mere target? Unacceptable. If one of those dirty prisoners try to attack him, he'll have no hesitation to strike back. He never killed before, but his papa was an assassin and he had been trained by her. He was sure he would be able to kill if he had to.
Isuko left his cell. A wish...he had to admit that it was kind of interesting him. He could wish for money, he was sure it would please his parents. He was raised by a mother who loved money, while the other was obsessed with saving money. Those behaviours had rubbed on him and he now values money as something important and even primordial. But he didn't feel comfortable with the idea of killing without a reason. Well, if enough prisoners attacked him, he would have a reason to kill a lot, and perhaps his wish granted.
Isuko left his cell, ready to defend himself and if possible, have his wish granted.
Fujimoto Yuki immediately left her cell as soon as she read the message on her phone. The first place the prisoners would search her was probably her cell, reasons to get out of there as soon as possible. She walked in the jail, fast yet cautious, trying her best to not make any sound.
Yuki was terrified. The situation couldn't be worst. She was trapped in a deadly game where her life was in danger. She was far from being confident in her physical strength. But she managed to keep her composure. She was a logical person, always rational. She was able to control her emotions.
She didn't want to kill. She wasn't even sure she was able to commit a homicide. Maybe to protect herself, but still, she didn't want to. And there was nothing she wished for that could cost the sacrifice of human's lives. She already had all she wanted. A loving family. Thinking about them made her sad. She was afraid she would never see them again.
She cautiously entered a room. It was empty. She decided to hide there for a while and wait for the end of the game. All Yuki wanted was to survive this so she can return to her family, as well as school. She was the class representative of her class after all, she had responsibilities there.
So for the sake of her school life and family, she'll do her best to stay alive until the end.
A survival game uh...sounds like something quite interesting!
Kenshi Ryuka was actually excited when she read the message on her phone. Killing to win...sounded like a great plan. She had no problem with killing, quite the contrary. She recalled the good old time she was a serial killer as a child. She missed those days. But now was the chance to finally kill without any consequences. After all, it was self-defence. And those prisoners were just trash, scums, criminals. Killing them would actually be doing a favour to society. No one would blame her if she killed them, given her situation.
But first, she needed to get rid of her glasses. It would be bad if they ended up being broken. Someone important to her, her guardian, gave them to her. And they were an important part of her disguise, her mask of the nice and shy girl she was pretending to be at school. Gosh she hated this act, but it was necessary. But right now, she'll finally have the occasion to be true to herself and kill as much as she wanted. A wish uh...it greatly interested her. What would she wish for? Being able to kill without any consequences? Sounds nice.
But then she thought about her guardian. She wouldn't want that. It made Ryuka doubted. She both wanted to killas well as please her guardian. She respected her so much after all. She decided that for now, she should focus on the game and think about it later, when she'll win. There was no point in tormenting herself with something like that, she should just enjoy herself and take advantage of the situation to do what she wanted to do for so long.
She removed her glasses and put them in their case, then in her pocket. She examined the cell and looked under the bed. She found a pencil with a sharpener. A devilish grin appeared on her lips.
She couldn't wait to stab some prisoners and maybe some of the other targets.
Namatame Tsurugi couldn't believe what was happening. It was scandalous, awful, completely inhumane. Whoever is behind this twisted game had no moral. How could they toy with human lives that way? How despicable. He could only feel despise to such a being.
He read about the survival game on his phone. All he could feel was disgust. Killing prisoners to have a wish granted? How horrible. Despite their crimes, prisoners were humans too, killing them for such a reason was simply immoral. There was no way he would shred a single drop of blood. Killing was wrong no matter the reason.
He tried to remember how he got there. He was heading for home with his little sister. Suddenly, the thought of her made him panic. Where was she? Was she abducted to and trapped into this cruel game? He was sick worried for her. He was his big brother after all, he was instinctively feeling protective for his baby sister.
He looked around the cell and noticed his kendo sword in one of the corner. He grabbed it and examined it. It was really his. With this he'll be able to protect himself without causing fatal damage to his opponents.
He was determined to stop this game and save his sister, as well as anyone else who was trapped here.
Namatame Chidori barely felt anything. She knew this game was wrong and immoral. She knew the person who was behind it was a terrible human being. But she wasn't angry or mad, sad or afraid. She just felt a slight bitter feeling in her chest. Obviously she didn't like being trapped in this awful situation, she wanted to get out of here, but she wasn't panicking either.
It actually felt familiar. It reminded her of her time as an assassin. It was cold, ruthless, dark. There was no place for pity or emotions in that cruel world. She was used to this. She thought she had move one from this life thanks to her family's love, but it seemed that deep down, she was still the cold-blooded assassin she used to be.
She tried to remember how she got here. She was heading home with her brother Tsurugi. Then she suddenly got sleepy...She concluded that she must have been drugged or something, and probably her brother too. She wasn't really worried about him. He was strong, she knew he would be able to protect himself. But she also knew he must be worried for her. He was such a good brother, she kind of felt bad for potentially worrying him.
She sighed. She wondered what she should do. She had no problem killing the prisoners or the other targets if they attacked her. She was the type to kill rather than being killed. But then there was the wish. She couldn't think of anything she really wished for. She didn't care about it. If she killed, it would only be to protect herself. But first, she needed to find a weapon.
Venturing in the prison, she was willing to do anything to defend herself and to find a way out.
Hanabusa Sayo was violently smashing her baseball bat against the bars. She had no intention to stay quietly captive. She had to get out of here. She didn't want to get along with this messed up game. She continued to hit the bars until the door suddenly opened.
She rushed to get out of the cell and began to run in the prison, searching for an exit. She then remembered something. The last thing she remembered was her and her twin sister heading for the tea house they are working at. Could it mean...that she was kidnapped to? Upon the realization her sister might be in danger, Sayo began to panic. She couldn't leave now, not without her.
Screw the wish. She won't get along with those twisted rules. She'll only do what she needed to get out of here safe with her sister. She stopped for a moment and looked at her bat. Would she be able to kill? She already killed someone with this very bat once, to protect her little sister. She was convinced she could do it again.
So she continued to run in the prison, looking for her sister, determined to escape this place with her.
Crouching in the corner of the cell, Hanabusa Mitsumi was grabbing her head between her hands, panicking. The nightmare was back. she had been kidnapped by bad people. That reminded her too much of the time when she was a kid, when she was abducted by those bad men. She didn't want it to happen again. She was so terrified. She wanted to go home. She wanted to be with her mothers and sister again, working at the tea house together. Being safe with them, protected by them, happy.
Her sister. This thought was occupying all her mind. Where was she? Was she safe? Was she in danger? Did someone try to hurt her?
Then suddenly, Mitsumi noticed a familiar object on the floor. It was a rock as big as a baseball ball. Flashes of memory came back to her, and she knew what she had to do.
She suddenly became cold, stoic. She stood up to grab the rock. This feeling in her hand...it felt right. She was used to it. She knew what she should do.
A wish...her only wish was to keep Sayo safe. No matter the cost, she will protect her big sister for any monsters that may harm her.
With a cold-blooded mind, Mitsumi left the cell, obsessed about the idea of protecting Sayo.
A person alone in a room was smirking as they looked at their phone. Message sent. They then looked at the multiple screens in front of them, all linked to various cameras in the prison. All the targets had left their cells, the prisoners were going to be free next.
"So the game has started," The individual said grinning as they prepared their next message to the targets.
A new survival game has begun, this time all the AnR kids are the targets. How will things end up for them, and who is behind all of this and why? Let me know your thought and if you're interested in this story.
