(A/N) Sorry about the slow update; screwed up my wrist so I can't type very well. I'm happy that everyone has been so patient with me. So here is chapter two of "Why did we play this game?" please review! By the way I only own my OC's, Tite Kudo owns everything else.

Casey's POV

As all of us entered through those shoji doors and they disappeared right after and I saw Ty start to panic. "Dude, what's wron-" I looked at what he was staring at and saw a giant boulder rolling towards us. "Ah shit! Run!" I hollered at everybody and grabbed Ty by his upper arm and ran.

He finally came out of his daze and sprinted alongside everyone. I looked ahead and saw Joyce look back and run towards the boulder. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" I shouted at her and stopped.

She pointed towards Sarah who was standing in front of the giant boulder. I rolled my eyes and told Ty and Jake to keep going. I saw Joyce sprinting towards her still. "Sarah, this is not time for one of your depression scenes!" Joyce yelled at her, but Sarah didn't move.

I saw that Joyce had caught up to Sarah and kept jerking on Sarah's arm but she refused to move. "Casey, I could use some help right about now." I nodded and picked Sarah up tossing her over my shoulder. She pounded on my back and yelled profanities, but I nodded back to Joyce and the two of us ran to catch up with the others.

It seemed almost like the giant rock was gaining speed up to us. Unlike what I told Ty and Jake they stopped and waited up for us. Once we all were together again; Joyce decided to knock Sarah unconscious by pressing a pressure point. Jake glared at her and she shrugged her shoulders. "It was either that or have her continuously hit Casey's back." She said while all of us were running.

I looked ahead and saw another set of shoji doors. Thank you! I thought. Ty shoved them open and we all ran through before they disappeared. We wound up falling onto the ground when we made it through.

And almost immediately we had katanas pointed at us by people in the Shinigami uniforms. Sarah started to wake up at that moment and propped herself up on her elbows while her stomach was still on the ground. She raised her head up only to see the point of a katana inches from her face.

OoOoOoOoO

Sarah's POV

I looked up slowly; my head feeling like it weighed five hundred pounds; to see a very sharp sword only a few mere inches from my eyes. I jumped back to land on my jumbled group of friends. Last thing that I remember happening is hitting Casey…not having giant swords in my face! I yelled mentally

"Please don't hurt me!" I said holding my hands up in a sign of surrender. "Hurt them instead!" I pointed to my friends behind me.

"Nice way to throw us under the bus…" Ty said in a very sarcastic and annoyed voice.

Jake stared at me with a death glare that could turn fire to ice. Casey looked like he was about to hit me and Joyce just looked at me like she didn't know me anymore.

"Who are you?" One of them asked.

"I'm Jake, that's Casey," He pointed to the one with platinum blonde hair, "That's Ty," Jake pointed towards the scrawniest of us, "That's Joyce," he pointed towards my short haired female friend. "And the trader is my sister, Sarah." I went to hit the back of Jake's head, but Joyce caught my wrist in a tight enough hold to make it bruise.

"Why are you here?" Another asked.

"Magic?" Joyce shrugged her shoulders as she said it. She avoided my eye contact every chance she got. "Um… by the way, can you take your swords out of our faces? I think that the five of us would prefer to live than be impaled. Just saying." Joyce said in an almost snarky voice as if having swords at her throat didn't bother her one bit.

One of the Shinigami laughed and lowered his sword, the rest of them following. "I like ya personality, chicka!" He continued to laugh and Joyce started to join him to the point of her freaky squeak laugh causing our group to burst out laughing and the rest of the Shinigami to do the same.

Ty's POV

I looked over at Joyce, then to Casey to see him staring at her. I swear, if this 'trip' doesn't make them get together, I don't know what will. I was the first to stop laughing, and then the rest of them followed. I tapped Casey's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Joyce always knows how to get us out of trouble."

"Yeah, I know little Bro." I pinched his side and he flinched slightly.

"You know I don't like to be called that."

"I know. That's why I call you it."

"Stop squabbling like an old couple before I have to say 'yaoi moment' for two brothers." Joyce looked over her shoulder at us with a mischievous smirk on her face.

Sarah went to give Joyce an apology hug and Joyce bit at her hand. "We could have died because of you if I didn't come up with something."

"Cat fight about to break out." I heard one of the male Shinigami say then saw Joyce give him a quarter of her infamous death glare and he backed up.

"I'm sorry. How many times do I have to say it?"

"A lot more than once."

I looked over and gave Jake a small nod as if saying 'do something'. He stepped between the two of them. "Now, now. No violence."

"You got to be shitting me, Jake?! We all watch violent animes and read violent mangas! And in the words of the great Zaraki Kenpachi 'If violence isn't solving all of your problems then you are simply not using enough of it'!" Almost all of the Shinigami looked shocked. "I'm violent get used to it!" She flailed her arms about. "It's how I get rid of stress! All of you know this so why am I talking about it?! Oh, yeah, to get you guys to leave me alone so I can, I don't know; punch a wall down or some weird shit!" She yelled pulling at her hair. Casey started to walk over to the fuming Joyce hesitantly, and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her away from her object of stress at the moment; Sarah. "Let me go!" She hit at Casey's hands.

"Don't kill anyone that you'll regret." He said calmly although wincing as Joyce still beat his hands.

She finally started to calm down, from rabid animal, to hyperventilating, to ragged breathes, to almost passed out. "I'm fine. Please let me go, now." I saw Casey reluctantly let go of her.

Things are either going to be amazingly fun or we're all going to die. I thought silently. I just hope that it's the first choice. I smiled internally.
