Born to Die: Lana Del Rey

Kyoya watched his blonde friend leave the room whiter than a ghost. Kyoya managed to keep his cool this long and he wasn't about to stand up and cause a fight. He knew better than to go against these people… They were serious in the beginning and he knew that at the rate… Everybody was going to be on edge. He could easily tell Hikaru was the one showing more anger than fear of the twins. Thank god Kaoru was next to him or… let's just say bye-bye Hikaru. The room was slowly becoming less crowded and before he knew it, Honey's name was called… Before Takashi's. The little Lolita boy rose from his desk with shaky knees and approached the skinny man. One thing Kyoya couldn't get off his mind was that… not all the people here were students…

"Aren't you just a cutie! I could just eat you up." He cooed, licking his lips. Honey shivered at the man's comment and took his bag quickly. "I would hate to see your pretty face be beaten up. If you guys could, please kill him with a shot to the stomach or something." Honey's face paled and dashed out of the room.

Takashi sat tensed up in his chair. How dare he say something about Honey! In that manner and tone of voice made Takashi even more upset. He wanted nothing more than for his name to be called so he could dash to Honey's side to save him. His enemy Doresu was already called out minutes ago, so he was most likely far away by now. Takashi had two things to worry about now… He needed to track down Honey and look for Doresu. Of course he would never let Honey get hurt so he came first, but this was a one and a life time chance! He had to face his enemy. It was now or never.

"Next is Number 32!" A girl with short black hair and glasses approached the man. Her bust was the only thing the skinny freak could focus on; they were practically straining themselves against her tight yellow dress. She gave him a quick glare before grabbing her bag with growl, leaving with smooth strides.

Doresu walked calmly through the crowed forest. To his luck the weapon they gave him was a pretty good survival knife; it pleased him for the time being. He didn't want to partake in this game, but obviously he had no choice. His first goal was to find a nice sword; if he had one then he knew he was safe. Would this island have a sword on it? Maybe in some house. He wasn't picky about his weapons, but if his life was on the line, so he needed a sword. No doubt Takashi would be looking for him sometime soon and he needed to make sure the tall boy had no chance against him.

Doresu tucked a strand of his purple hair behind his ear with a smile. Oh he couldn't wait to face his foe head on. He never resorted to violence, especially with Takashi. He remembered the day clearly like it was yesterday.

"Fight me." a middle school Takashi said, bowing deeply before the shop owner. Doresu flushed from embarrassment, fanning his face lightly with his hand.

"W-What are you talking about? Fighting is too dangerous! Do I look like a fighter to you?" He stuttered. Doresu looked nothing like a fighter or even remotely dangerous. He was wearing his basic white kimono and for once he had his long hair down. He just got finished selling his latest Cosplay and this tall young man had to barge in and scare his customer away! He demanded his attention and when he finally decided to listen, this guy wanted to fight him!

"I have heard of your skills and would like to test them." Takashi said. Doresu glanced around, everybody in the store was busy messing with items. He gently took Takashi's wrist and led him to the backroom for more privacy. Once inside he took a silent sigh with a smile.

"I no longer go by the sword, I'm sorry if I've waisted your time." Doresu said. Takashi didn't seem fazed by the old samurai's answer. There were rumors going around that one of the worlds best swords man had moved to his town and it took sometime, but Takashi had managed to find him and now that he was here; he was not going to take no for answer. Why he suddenly wanted to challenge the man before him, he had no idea… something was telling him deep inside that he had to fight him and win.

"Please, I deeply request that you fight me." Takashi bowed deeper. Doresu flushed once more and shook his head violently.

"I will not fight you! I do not fight for violence! So please take your leave." He demanded. Takashi rose from his bow and shot him a small glare, but it was gone before it even showed. Takashi glanced around the crowed backroom and saw a long katana placed neatly on the wall. It was old, but well taken cared off. Nothing about it was special, but Takashi was no fool. He didn't say another word and left the store silently. Nobody noticed his presence, so Doresu let the visit slip his mind.

However, as soon as Doresu saw Takashi in the gym room with the other students. The memory came back like lighting and he too now had the urge to fight him. Did the tall young man know the ways of the sword? Or did he just wanna be one? Either way, Doresu would only fight Takashi if it truly came down to it. If he was a lucky samurai; which he never really was. He would be the last one alive in this game and his last opponent would be Takashi; then they could have a descent fight.

"S-Stop! I-I will kill you!" Doresu froze in his tracks, only to glance over his shoulder to see a young boy holding what looked like a kitchen knife.

"Will you?" He questioned calmly. God he hated being calm. His normal behavior was preppy and light like whip cream, but how could anybody truly be themselves during a time like this? He was slipping back into his samurai days… calm and fearless. The young boy gulped with a shiver down his spine.

The skinny guy made it quite clear! Kill of be killed! The young boy did not want to die by the hands of anyone, but what was he to do to a guy way taller than him!? No! He shouldn't be scared, he just needed to act innocent and then! Bam! Slice the man's throat!

"I-I'm sorry… I was just scared and thought you were going to hurt me first!" He said. Doresu didn't buy it one bit. He sensed the young boy following him, but he wasn't dumb enough to believe his attempt. If he was truly scared of him, then he would have ran off long ago.

Doresu turned his full attention to the boy and lowered his gaze. "I have no need to harm you; I'm not playing this silly game." The little boy looked relieved, but kept his idea nothing less! He's heard the rumors! This man was the swords man…. He would kill him easily, but he had the upper hand! The swords man didn't have a sword, so that would make him defenseless! And the game… no one had a choice about playing! Kill or be killed!

"You're not playing?! That's good, because I'm not playing either!" He beamed, stepping closer to Doresu. The samurai stood his ground and only lowered his sight to look at the boy; his gazed fixed on his kitchen knife. "Y-You think… maybe we should tag along! Find others!" The boy was now in front of him and Doresu didn't lower his guard.

"Maybe…" He lied.

"Of course! With a big guy like you! Things should be easy and no one should harm us!" He smiled more than he wanted. His eyes became fixed on Doresu's nice soft neck and couldn't help, but silently chuckle. This guy was brainless! What happened to the samurai's in the movies that never let anyone get close!? Well this one had to be plain dumb or the rumors were just… well rumors. Staring at his neck for to long... Was his fatal mistake. In the blink of an eye Doresu broke the little boy's arms with ease.

"FUCK! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?" He screamed, holding onto his now broken arm; dropping his knife. Doresu picked it up and looked it over. It was brand new and thankfully unused. The young boy's eyes widened as he picked up the knife. Was he going to kill him!? Why did he get carried away with trying to kill him! He should have just run away!

"Violence is stupid." Doresu sighed, tossing the knife far into the trees.

"I NEEDED THAT!" The boy cried. Like he had said in the past, he did not do violence and nor should anyone else. Doresu walked away calmly, going back to searching for a sword; leaving the boy to cry over his useless arm and now defenseless self.

Honey ran out of the school for dear life, but also froze at the site before him. The first girl to be called out was dead before him with a stake in her skull. He had to cover his mouth so he wouldn't puke. How could anybody do this?! Why her!? She didn't do anything to deserve this! Honey swallowed his stomach and tried his best to walk away from the dead girl. When he was in the trees he released his lunch all over the ground. He leaned against a tree with a sigh. He never… ever! Wanted to see a dead body! And this was the worst way to see one! He glanced back to see a figure exit the school. He was about to call out, but immediately silenced himself with his hand when the figure kicked the girl and took the stake out of her head.

What was the figure doing!? How could they just do that to her without any guilt! Were they perhaps… no! No one could play this sick game right of the back! The figure opened up there bag and slipped the stake inside. Honey snapped a twig beneath his feet and the figures gaze snapped towards him. Oh crap he knows I'm here! He looked around himself and did the only thing to mind.

Run.

The twins waited patiently for the call to empty. They had a feeling they were going to be the last called, which they had no problem with. They would find each other quicker that way and with them both together they could take anybody down! Hikaru could easy fight someone off since, in his eyes, he was the stronger twin. Now Kaoru had the brains and patience to wait anything out.

"Number 1, come up now! Haha and collect your prize!" The man joked and laughed wildly at himself. No one thought it was very funny… A short boy with long green hair and what looked like… Black cat ears and a tail. He walked up with a scowl; swing his tail side to side. The twins didn't even want to know if they were real, the man however was very curious. "Are those real?!" He grabbed the boy's ear violently and tugged on it; resulting with the cat boy hissing. "They are real! Did you get those surgically put on or was your mother into bestiality." The cat boy grumbled to himself and had to bite his tongue so he wouldn't snap at the man; he grabbed his bag and angrily left.

Haruhi was now physically shaking. She couldn't help it though! The man in front kept giving her weird looks now and again. Honey and Tamaki were now gone and who knows what happened to them! Tamaki was a weak guy who mostly had looks to help. Sure he knew what to do in situations, but was he prepared for this kind of one? She knew she wasn't. Not by a long shot was she ready to harm someone for her safety. Another person was called up and the man slapped her butt with harsh force, making the girl jump and leave with tears.

"Number 48." He called, still staring at the door where the girl left. Haruhi dangerously looked down to her desk and saw the numbers 48 scratched in. Her heart dropped, her mouth became dry, and it was like her legs decided to shut off. No! Why couldn't she be the last one called out? She wasn't ready physically or mentally for this and for to be alone; the worse of it all! If she had the Hosts with her… than made she could keep herself sane. Haruhi did her best to raise herself from her desk, but her feet wouldn't let her move.

The man raised an eyebrow at her and slowly began walking towards her. Hikaru's muscles tightened at the thought of him touching her. He was about to jump out of his desk, but his brother grabbed his arm; shaking his head no. Hikaru roughly yanked his arm away with a low growl.

The man grabbed her arm roughly, yanking her up from her seat and he angrily dragged her to the front. "Better get your legs number 48 or that will be last of you." He growled. Haruhi managed to stand and take the bag away from the soldier. She was about to walk out the door, but the man coughed; making her shiver. "Hold on for a second." The man pulled out a paper and almost busted into a laughing fit. "The fans will love to see this! Can't wait till someone gets frisky." Haruhi didn't want to know what was on that paper, so she took off.

Kyoya tensed at the site of Haruhi leaving, making him even more on the edge; he knew what the man meant by 'frisky'. His eyes formed a glare and he had to use his power of mind to get himself to stop. The man knew Haruhi was a girl and he couldn't wait to see her… Kyoya couldn't even think about it. He would kill anybody who even tried to do such an act. Finally his number was call and he left with ease. He looked over the hall way and how bad did he want to explore, but he had a time limit to quickly ditch the area.

"Better find the others." He mumbled to himself, walking to the exit.

Tamaki was running through the forest at full speed. He couldn't get the image out of his head! So much blood… brains oozing out… her eyes open with fear! Who could have killed her!? Tamaki couldn't even remember the students who left after the plump girl. Did he really want to know who killed her!? No! All he really cared about right now was finding a safe place to sit and rest. His mind was racing and the fact of people out there who wanted to kill him; didn't ease his mind. Tamaki tripped over a tree root and face planted in the dirt. He didn't even bother to get up; instead he broke out into tears.

He just wanted to go home… However, he needed to be brave for Haruhi and the others. How could he do that when there were killers everywhere and no escape!? Now his face hurt and his foot. Pray to god he didn't twist his ankle or worse. Tamaki wiped his tears and poorly lifted himself up. His ankle did hurt…. But he could walk thankfully. He looked around to make sure he didn't make to much noise and began walking to who knows where.

Would the other Host's try to find him or would he have to find them? He hoped Kyoya would find him in some place safe from the horrors of reality. They would then find everyone else and they could think of a plan to get off this island! Tamaki had to wipe another tear that threatened to fall. He needed to act his age and man up! He needed to think and stop being like a baby! If he let his guard down once, someone could easily come… Tamaki sighed. No negative thoughts… One thought that made him smile was when he and Haruhi went out on a date not to long ago.

Tamaki handed Haruhi a small chocolate cone with a cherry on top. Haruhi had her girly wig on with the pigtails and she thanked him with a smile. They were going around town looking for some books about Hosting; Kyoya said something about needing them. Little did they know the day quickly faded from finding a book to hanging out to having fun! Haruhi was smiling none stop and Tamaki couldn't help, but talk about things. Haruhi didn't mind and listened to him.

"There was also this one time when-" Haruhi gasped aloud, making Tamaki stop. She rushed over to a store and pressed her face against the window. Inside they were selling stuffed animals and Haruhi couldn't help, but stare at a peculiar small rabbit. Tamaki leaned over to get a look and smiled to himself. Haruhi surely was cute sometimes.

"Would you like that?" He asked.

Haruhi shot her gaze to him with surprise. "You don't have to…"

"Nonsense! A princess deserves to have what she wants." Tamaki protested, going into the store to buy the small toy. He came out and handed it to her with a smile. She happily took if from him, hugging it close.

"Thank you, Tamaki." She blushed.

"No problem." He averted his eyes with a blush as well. Tamaki looked back at Haruhi to see her-

Tamaki's thought were interrupted by a loud thunk in front of him. He froze in his footsteps, staring wide eyed. Someone was coming his way! What was he going to do?! Run? But his foot was injured and he would defiantly not get far. Fight away the person or try to speak with them? But what if they were playing the game! Then he would have no- Tamaki suddenly remembered he had a weapon in his bag! He unzipped it quickly to find the basic items like water and food. His eyes grew wide at the site. He had a bunch of arrows, but no bow…

Just his luck! He was going to die without a fight all because he didn't have a damn bow! Tamaki growled to himself, but quickly looked up when a figure appeared through the trees. His heart froze when he saw the figure holding a pistol.

Aimed at him.
