Disclaimer: I do not own The World Ends with You ((the game yes! But not the idea no..)) or the story line, But Haiyume and Atsushi are MINE XDDD! Enjoy!
.:The Second Day:.
:Slam!:
"Wha...What happened?" Haiyume sat up in the scramble crossing rubbing the back of her head gently. She looked for Atsushi who was standing next to her admiring the people passing by carelessly.
The second day of the Reapers Game started and Haiyume had nothing much to do but wait patiently with Atsushi until the next mission arrived.
She looked up at Atsushi and saw how focused he was. His dark brown eyes seemed to be fixed on the crowd, as if he was looking for someone. There was no doubt in her mind that she thought Atsushi was handsome because well…he was, but when Haiyume stood up also she noticed that her partner was kind of tall too. Looking about five-ten while Haiyume stayed at her five-six. His hair was short, kind of spiky and a sandy brown color with some hints of an orange tint. But it was always sort of covered by his hood from his light gray sweatshirt with printed angel wings on the back. What always made Haiyume curious was what was in his black messenger bag that was draped over his left shoulder. She knows that his marionette was in there but what else…it was something that always caught her attention. Her eyes drifted downward to his dark denim blue jeans and the black converse that he wore. Overall, Atsushi wore clothes of someone that kept to him self and of someone didn't want to be noticed in life.
The examination ended finally with Atsushi catching Haiyume checking him out, "What are you looking at…?" He said flatly, knowing exactly what she was doing.
"Eh…? Nothing…uh…I thought you had um...something on you…an—" The phone beeped a few times, Haiyume was saved and then reapers mission was finally given.
"Relax and play some Tin Pin and win the Hero pin!!" – Reapers
"Tin Pin? What?" Haiyume questioned. Atsushi looked at Haiyume and explained the concept of Tin Pin.
He explained that every year Malco would host a Tin Pin competition. And in this competition, people play with different pins from different or unbranded companies and fight with different players. The players will have control over their pins and try to knock the opponents off the game board. And the champion will win the golden Hero Pin.
"Huh…" Haiyume nodded, "So…It's basically like Extreme Checkers only with more color!" Atsushi said nothing, "Well then if that's the case then winning Tin Pin should be nothing!!" And with her newly found determination, Haiyume dragged Atsushi (along with he confidence) and headed over to Malco.
Atsushi glanced over to the Malco building and witnessed the massive amounts of people signing up for the tournament. Haiyume's eyes shined with excitement, making her itch with anticipation.
"Alright!! Let's go and win that Hero Pin!!" Haiyume exclaimed being the massive ball of energy that she is. But it seemed that something else caught her attention before signing up for the contest.
"Uh...Hey isn't that the same symbol on our player pins?" Referring to the giant player graffiti mark on the outside wall near the Malco entrance.
"It's so when we go in they can see us…" Atsushi added.
"Ohhhhhhh…I guess it makes sense." Haiyume shrugged and proceeded inside the store.
"Wow!! Look at all the people!!" Haiyume with a big grin, "Hm…I wonder who else is a player here?" Not being able to tell the difference.
Atsushi could careless about the players. His sights were set on finding out on who was a Reaper or not. Surely contestants here would come with rare and most likely powerful pins that suits the Reapers taste. But as far as he's concerned Atsushi has to look after Haiyume and her somewhat carelessness.
"I'd like to sign up please!!" She asked one of the hosts that provided her with an entry form.
"Atsushi aren't you gonna sign up too?" Nudging over to him an entry form. And Atsushi's typical antisocial reaction was just a look away, ignoring Haiyume's offer.
"Ahhh…Your no fun." She handed in her entry and waited for whom she was going up against.
The preliminaries didn't take long, Haiyume just went against four other players and shockingly winning against all of them.
But her next first match in the finals was against some orange haired kid with a pair of blue headphones over his ears. Atsushi looked over from behind Haiyume and saw hat behind the orange haired kid was another person that was standing rather close to him. And that's when things started to click in Atsushi's mind…they were players and from the looks of things it seems that his partner was good at manipulating things mostly tournaments like this one.
He wasn't going to let Haiyume loose, thus lending a hand of his own powers. The opponent's partner raised an eyebrow, he seemed to be intrigued with Atsushi's bold move. Perhaps surprised that he caught on so quickly.
The match started and so did the manipulation. Atsushi and the other kid's partner battled with every pin that they owned. Clashing the small circular metals together trying to beat out each other in the quickest time possible. But in the end it was the other player that was stronger, beating Atsushi and making Haiyume lose her match.
"Aw man!" She slammed her hands on the table and yelled at her pins, "Why!? Why didn't you listen to me!? You stupid pins!!" Making herself look crazy.
Atsushi glanced over to the player who advanced to the next match, he didn't seem excited but rather fed up with everything. He looked over to Haiyume who was still a little disappointed about losing.
They walked outside and stayed out in front of the Malco entrance, a waiting to hear the winner from the announcer.
"You know you don't have to worry about getting the hero pin. When some one else finishes the mission it's completed for all of us…" Atsushi muttered.
"That's not it…" Haiyume frowned, "I hate losing…It always makes me feel like a failure."
"Haiyume…you didn't loose…" he fixed his bag making it more comfortable for him self, "You just didn't give it your all. You'll get better next time."
Both players heard cheering in the background, they both peered inside and saw that the orange haired kid that Haiyume faced before lost to some girl who was also a player. Haiyume thought that it just goes to show you that there is always some one better than the some one else.
"Nah, don't worry about it 'kay." Haiyume laughed and scratched the back of her head, "I can't help it, I play a LOT of baseball…so I can get competitive with certain things at times. But I get out of it easily though...heh."
Atsushi calmly looked at Haiyume who slowly was going back to her normal self. Sure baseball was a competitive sport, but was there something more to Haiyume's competitiveness. Atsushi could only wonder about things like this to himself. After all he didn't know Haiyume's past or what she was like when she was alive. Atsushi did wonder though, how did Haiyume die? She seems so full of life…emotion…something Atsushi never acknowledged when he was alive. Why would some one want to take that away from her? The sad thing was…only Haiyume could answer that question for him, not yet though…It was way to soon to ask her.
"Well, Why are we just standing here!?" She questioned, "Shouldn't the day be over by now…?"
'Probably the Reapers taking notes…' Atsushi thought.
Soon enough everything went white. The Second Day was completed and another step was taken closer for Atsushi and Haiyume getting their second chance at life.
A/N: Ah! Their second day completed about time too. Oh well…Sorry if this chapter was a little shorter than the last one…But I'll tell you one thing each chapter so far was at least four pages long. (TT) I know it doesn't seem like much for those of you who are writing like ten pages per chapter lol but hey for some one who is writing their first story, it's kind of a lot XDDD.
So Please Review , I 'm open for any criticism (please be nice about it) and hopefully the next chapter will be up shortly with our duo meeting two other players X3.
