The Liar Game

Chapter II: The adrenaline rushing, nail biting psychological trick!

"No way…Mr. Narumi?"

She couldn't believe it. Her opponent was her old high school homeroom teacher. He was the nicest person ever. Whenever I was in trouble or in need of help I would always go to him for help. But…how did he get caught up in this game?

It was a fortunate coincidence. My opponent was Mr. Narumi, my teacher from middle school, whom I adored back then.


She was running. Running as fast as she could with the bag full of money to Mr. Narumi's house, she was so lucky that she still kept in touch with him after all these years. Who would've known that it came to such an advantage!

As she got to his house breathless and excited and worried, she rang the doorbell.


"Oh, I'm so relieved to hear that it was you who had been chosen." Mr. Narumi smiled and ran to give Mikan a big hug. Returning the hug, Mikan replied. "I was relieved, too. If somebody else were to be my opponent…"

Narumi looked confused. "Your opponent?" Mikan looked at him strangely. Did Mr. Narumi not watch the tape? Then Narumi all of a sudden grabbed both Mikan's shoulders; startling her and causing her to almost drop the bag of money in her hands. "You…all that stuff those guys were saying, about taking away other's money, and being opponents, those rules…did you actually believe all that?"

Narumi gave out a loud laugh. Mikan stood there at the doorway looking lost and confused. Was there something she got wrong?

"So…it's not like that?" She wasn't getting this game at all. "Not at all! This is about something else!" Narumi said. He turned his head left and right, looking to see if there were any people around them that could hear them. "You know, this is nothing but a cleverly designed fraud!" He whispered.

Mikan's eyes were so big. She was shocked. Was she that stupid? No, but why would someone go through all that trouble just to con people? "Eh!? Really!"

Narumi just smiled at her. "Yup, of course! Let me explain." Mikan listened intently to what Narumi was going to say. "Now, let's assume for a second that your opponent wasn't me, but a complete stranger. Let's call him 'X'. First of all, neither you nor X know each other, so you have no information at all about your rival. And then one day, without you even noticing 50 million yen disappear from your stack. That's right! Naturally you are going to suspect X for robbing the money. 'It's not here! X must have it!' But in fact, someone else did it. The Liar Game Secretariat. Even if they were stealing the money, since you don't know your opponent, he's the only one whom you suspect to be the culprit. And in the end, both you and your opponent end up in debts."

Mikan was utterly speechless. "That's …that's terrible…I probably would have fallen for that…" Narumi just nodded. "Now...we must hurry and hide the money where it is safe!" He ran to the TV cabinet and took out his box of money. "There's no way to tell when they'll come to steal the money." Mikan ran to where he was and showed him her bag of money.

"I…I brought the money with me…I was too scared to leave it at home…" Narumi looked at her surprised. "That's right… it's too dangerous to leave it unattended for even a second." She held on even tighter to the bag of money. "But…what should I do with this money from now on?" She still didn't know what to do. She came thinking it was all a game, but now that she knew it was just a way to con her. As if she wasn't confused enough already!

Narumi was thinking. He didn't know what they could do. But then, he snapped his fingers. "Aha! I know. How about renting a deposit box at the bank? Then they won't be able to get at the money for the next 30 days!" Mikan thought about the idea then smiled. A bank! That was perfect. No one would be able to get the money if I was being watched 24/7. "Then it's safe, right?" Narumi nodded his head, "Of course, of course!"

"Yeah…but…" Her smile slowly faded as she thought about the process of getting a deposit box. It would be very complicated. Narumi noticed and decided to help. "I see…you're worried about the formalities, aren't you?" Mikan nodded and he smiled. He patted her shoulders and reassured her. "It's alright! I'll take care of your share as well, alright? In a situation like this, we need to help each other. Yea?" Mikan was getting teary; she was so close to crying. She really was lucky to have such a nice teacher.

"Right! Thank you very much! Please take care of it, will you?" And so, she handed him her money to keep and take care of. "Goodbye Mr. Narumi! It was nice to see you again!" She waved him goodbye as she proceeded to go home. Narumi waved back and smiled; but as he watched her figure disappear into the distance, his smile disappeared along with it. He looked at the bag of money she had given to him for safe keeping. A smirk made its way onto his face as he started chuckling to himself in victory.

"That was too easy."


She smiled as she was pushing her grandpa through the hospital halls. Everything was going to be alright now! Mr. Narumi was nice enough to help me deposit the money into the bank! See, it's never too bad to be honest.

"Did something good happen?" Her grandpa has been admitted into the hospital for stage 4 lung cancer. Her parents were dead so she was sent to live with her grandfather. Her grandpa told her that her father had died before she was born and her mother had died a while later after giving birth to her. Sure, it was sad to not have met them both or had the chance to make any memories; but she had her grandpa and that was more than enough! He was the one that taught her to always be honest and kind no matter what.

Mikan shook her head. "No, why do you ask?" She couldn't tell her grandpa about the Liar Game and the 100 million yen. He was already in the hospital and was very old, if she were to tell him, he might not be able to take it. I'm sorry I'm hiding this from you grandpa, but it's for your own good.

"It's just because…you look so happy." She smiled. "Today I met Mr. Narumi from high school. Remember, my old homeroom teacher?" He nodded. "He was the still the same as ever." She was still smiling, remembering what he had done for her earlier today.


She unlocked her apartment door and went inside, looking for the light switch. Just as she was about to open the lights, her mail slot made a noise. Someone slid something in again.

She couldn't move. She was too scared to see what it was. She stood there and blinked a couple of times before turning her head to the mail slot. It was still dark, she didn't open the lights yet; but the dim lighting from outside was enough for her to see. She walked over to the slot and opened it. There wasn't an envelope inside this time, but a single card. It read:

Liar Game Current Results

Narumi Anju: +100 Million Yen
Mikan Sakura: -100 Million Yen

Currently you are losing.

She was confused once more. "What's this…about?"

She called up Mr. Narumi looking for answers and asking if he knew anything about this.

"Huh? You received what? They must've found out that we knew each other from before. Because we're working together; they can't take the money. Now they are trying to get us to suspect each other. Everything's fine. As for the money, it's already at the bank, where it's safe. No need to worry! Yes, talk to you later!" Narumi ended the phone call and shook his head. She was just too easy to fool!

How could I suspect Mr. Narumi after everything he did for me?! You're so stupid Mikan. She hit her head over and over. "Ughh, just why am I always deceived so easily? Ah, I know. I'll go and apologize to him tomorrow!"


Ding Dong.

No response. So she rang the doorbell again…still no response.

"Huh. Maybe he's not home?" As she decided to turn around and go home, she heard his voice. "About the money you lent me…You'll have it back in a month from now…" It was coming from the backyard. So she walked around. But then thinking about it, she giggled. She would just sneak up on him and surprise him, then apologize.

"Well, you know, there's that former pupil of mine, a little smile and some sweet talking, that's all it took for me to deceive her."

Mikan froze. Her heart was beating wildly against her ribcage. Deceiving? Did she hear wrong? Mr. Narumi had deceived her into getting her money?

"No worries, she would fall for anything I tell her. Yeah, indeed, she's too honest for her own good." He started laughing into the phone.

No. No. NO! It can't be. Mr. Narumi would never do such a thing…right? But then why?! Why is he all of a sudden saying all these things? Was she really that honest and easy? The cake that she was holding slipped from her grip and fell onto the floor. But she didn't care about that, she was too focused on what Mr. Narumi had just said.

"100 Million, 100 million." He was still laughing . She could feel the tears, she was going crazy and she knew it.


She unlocked her door and walked in lifelessly. She didn't have any energy.

Deep breaths Mikan. Deep breaths. But she couldn't handle it, and slid onto the floor.

Just then, her mail slot banged again. More mail. She didn't move from the door as she heard the retreating footsteps of the person who had sent her the mail. Looking at the slot, she opened it. And indeed, there it was; a VCR tape.

She hit play and the Dealer appeared once again.

"Do you understand, Miss Sakura? The player Narumi Anju has managed to deceive you and obtained 100 million yen from you. This is Liar Game, a game for liars. If you fail to get the money back before the end of the game, you will have to pay us 100 million yen." Tears. All she could do was sit there and listen to what the Dealer was telling her as tears began to form. "We are going to retrieve the money at any cost. Regardless of the means we have to use. Without failure." And he was gone again. The tape had ended and she was all alone again.

Sitting there and letting the words sink into her head; she refused to believe it. Her whole body was shaking. NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! She grabbed two fist fulls of hair and shook her head.

She couldn't take it anymore, so she screamed.

"It's going to be alright!"

Again.

"100 million!"

And again.

"A game for liars."

And again.

Her screams got louder each time. She just sat there, rocking back and forth with her head in her hands. How long was this going to last? This horrible game.


A/N: Hey! Back with a new chapter and also with something to clear out. So, for a review I got (Don't worry i'm not picking you out; you did nothing wrong. I just wanted to clear out this big misunderstanding). They have told me that this was just like the manga and how it would be boring if all I did was switch up the characters names. And so here i am to explain and hopefully my answer will satisfy those of you who asked me this question.

Yes, all I am doing is switching the characters from Liar Game with Gakuen Alice characters. But!I have not read the manga yet; and I don't plan to anytime soon. Maybe when I finish this story or when I have time, cause god only knows how many chapters they got for it. Ain't nobody got time for that! But I did watch the whole Japanese drama series. Matsuda Shota is mine!

Anyways, my point being that if you had read my profile, which I 100% agree to you doing first, I have written specifically that most of my stories will be using Tv Shows or Movies that I like and turn them into fan fiction stories with my favorite pair or ship. I have also said that I will not only be replacing the characters but I will also be tweeking the story line a bit just for my own satisfaction.

So if the beginning of this story may seem to be an exact copy I am sorry but also not sorry, because that is specifically what I had indented to do for most of my tv/ movie inspired fanfics. Its what I like doing to my stories, following the given plot line and replacing the main characters with my own favorite pair then making them act the way I want them to.

I hope that this will clear things up a bit for you and that it won't affect you readers in anyway.I hope that you will continue reading my stories even though they might be exact copies. I also hope that you will find my stories entertaining and find them to be the way i find them. Cause all in all honesty, who doesn't like to read their own favorite pair/ship getting together in their all time favorite drama! Cause I know I do! And this is what I will continue on doing. Please support me all the way if you feel the same. If you don't...well there's nothing I can do so I guess its your choice.

But I again recommend you dearly to read my profile first or if you have any questions concerning the way I write my stories, feel free to message me. I will be glad to answer all your questions!

Till next time - Dramatical Murderer
