DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MIRAI NIKKI/ THE FUTURE DIARIES.

Date Uploaded: February 6, 2016- Saturday.

Note: Advanced apologies for the OOC's.

INTRO,
After Ninth's dismissal from the meeting, she mumbled curses as she rode her bike and drove to Yukiteru's house. Following orders now? Babysitting the First? What were they thinking? She denies that she's gotten soft and she denies that she's siding anyone for the better good.

When she arrived at Yukiteru's house, it's not entirely a surprise that Yuno was there, cooking for him.

'Can't he cook for himself?' she thought as she knocked on his window. Yukiteru covered his mouth, preventing any screams as he opened the window.

"What are you doing here?!" He shouted as a whisper.

"I came to tell you a message from Deus. Since you and Gasai missed out on the meeting." She stated with a hint of annoyance.

"I- i couldn't. I made a promise to Yuno about our date and she wouldn't let me go." He explained.

"Geez, you can continue your date afterwards!" She pushes him so that she can enter through the window.

"Yuno will know you're here. Hurry up already!" His eyes shifting from the door and the window, cautious of Yuno appearing all of the sudden.

"There's some kind of Death Battle that Deus signed us up for." Straight to the point.

"Eh?! A- A death battle?!"

"Yeah. It starts in three days. So get ready for it." She climbs out the window to make her leave but Yukiteru pulls her jacket. He had more questions to ask.

"H- Hold on! Is that all you have to say?! What's the rules? Who are we up against? Are we enemies?"

"Go ask Deus yourself. I'm not your messenger! And it's your fault for choosing your date with Gasai over the meeting!"

DAY ONE: READY.. GET SET.. GO!
Yukiteru Amano was sleeping. It's been three days since his meeting with Mur Mur. Mur Mur was the one who explained everything to him since Ninth had a terrible explanation. Yukiteru and Yuno understood.

Beep! Beep!

The future has arrived!

2/17 7:14 [Kyosouske Household- Kitchen]
There will be an explosion next door.
2/17 7:33 [Route 1 to Amano Household]
There will be a road block due to explosion.
2/17 7:47 [Route 4 to the intersection]
There will be traffic due to explosion.

Yukiteru screams as he reads the future in his hands. An explosion was about to happen.

'The game has started already?! So early in the morning!' he yelled internally.

He got out of bed and got dressed. He has a few minutes to warn his neighbor about the upcoming explosion. It will start from the kitchen, he needed to stop it. When he got dressed and everything, he ran outside and started knocking on his neighbor's door.

"Kyosouske! Open up!" He needed to warn them. Everyone inside.

He then checked his phone again, to see for any changes, but no there was none. The explosions are still about to happen.

Static.

2/17 7:14 [Kyosouske Household- Front Door]
There will be an explosion next door.
2/17 7:25 [Route 1 to Amano Household]
There will be a road block due to explosion.
2/17 7:39 [Route 4 to the intersection]
There will be traffic due to explosion.

'What?! The time changed but everything else will happen as it is?' He was looking down on his phone when he noticed something red flowing out of the door. Blood.

He took a step back after realizing it was blood. Frightened. His eyes froze as it stared at the blood flowing from the other side. His neighbors were dead. And the explosion will clear all the evidence.

"Yukii!" A familiar voice screamed.

Yukiteru was pulled away from danger. From the explosion. Yuno arrived just in time to save him. But still, Yukiteru haven't recovered from the shock. Yuno shook him awake, his eyes were still locked on the now-burning house.

"Yukii! Are you alright?!" Yuno asked with concern.

"Yuno..?" His eyes shifted from the burning house to Yuno. He was relieved to see her. Alive.

"Yukii, come on, we need to go!" she helped him up and they started running.

"Yuno, I-"

Yuno showed him her Yukiteru Diary, telling him what's going to happen to him in ten minutes.

2/17 7:00
Yukii was in a hurry to the neighbor's house.
But why?
2/17 7:10
Yukii is endangered with an explosion!
I have to save him!
2/17 7:20
Yukii's DEAD END.

'Eh?! My DEAD END already?! N- No way!' he couldn't believe it. But Day One and he's already being eliminated.

But with Yuno beside him, he had bigger chances to live. Surely it will change. But as they run and waited for the static, there was none. Yukiteru will still receive his DEAD END. Yuno will not let that happen. She will do everything in her power to change the future.

Yukiteru advised not to go to Routes 1 and 4. An explosion is likely to happen there. So he and Yuno ran to an alternate route, going to the Fourth's location at the station. Hoping he could help. But after changing routes.. static.

2/17 7:19 [Route 7, a shortcut to Sakurami Middle School]
There will be a thick crowd due to explosion
2/17 7:25 [Sakurami Middle School]
There will be a huge explosion in the classrooms.
2/17 7:39 [Sakurami Middle School]
Windows have shattered, the whole school is on fire.

"Yuno! We have to save the school!" Yukiteru ordered. Yuno nodded as the two of them ran in a hurry towards the school.

Yukiteru was honeslty surprised that Yuno agreed on this one. Usually she'd reject and resist the idea of saving others. While they were running, Yuno grabbed her phone to see Yukiteru's future, being cautious if the explosion on Route 7 will injure him or kill him.

2/17 7:20
Yukii was missed by the explosion.
What a relief!
2/17 7:30
Yukii was trapped inside the classroom but is missed by the explosion.
2/17 7:40
Yukii's DEAD END.

'Yukii's future didn't change..' she thought and gave a worried look to Yukiteru while his back was turned. 'Yukii.. I will protect you no matter what.'

She guided Yukiteru as they passed by Route 7 without any casualties, explosions occurred and missed them. Yukiteru was relieved but looking behind him, the rest of the people who weren't aware of the explosions, they were all lying down the ground. Dead.

Yuno pulled Yukiteru away from the scene. There was nothing he could've done.

When they reached Sakurami Middle School, Yuno held on Yukiteru's hand tightly. Not wanting him to get separated from her. Somewhere inside the school, he will meet his doom. His DEAD END.

'All these explosions.. did the Ninth did all of this? Is she determined to kill me? But Deus said that we're all teammates here. Why would she try and kill me?' he thought.

The first time he met Uryuu, she was ready to blow him to pieces. And now on his first day at the battlefield, he's the first target!

Looking up at the windows, Yukiteru spotted his mother inside. A silhouette of his mother that is. But he was sure it was her. He recognized it. He checked for his phone for any changes in the future but there was none. It didn't say that his DEAD END was coming so he was confident nothing will happen, setting aside that the future might change.

He ran towards the school, his hand escaping Yuno's grip.

"Yukii!" she called out but he kept running. Yuno tried to catch what caught his attention until she laid eyes on the same window where Yukiteru saw his 'mother'. Yuno realized what he saw and ran after him. "Yukii it's not real!"

She tried to explain but Yukiteru has slipped inside the entrance doors before the explosions occurred. Yuno wasn't able to enter.

"YUKII!" She knew she needed to find another way in. Or else her beloved Yukiteru will meet his DEAD END.

When Yukiteru has entered, he checked his phone again, no changes. He took a deep breath and started to run again, going up the stairs, wanting to save his mother from the explosion.

'Mom.. I'm almost there..' he thought.

Upon his arrival, he saw a woman standing there. It wasn't his mother but it was definitely her clothes. It was a tall woman wearing boots with two inch heels. She has a long red hair and has silver eyes. She wore black leather from top to bottom. Her leather jacket slightly unzipped to reveal her cleavage. Underneath her leather jacket was a red blouse. (This is the first OC.)

"Where's my mother?!" He yelled and the woman laughed.

"She was never here. Yukiteru Amano. You're easy to find." she complimented. "And also," she pulled a gun out "easy to kill."

Yukiteru's eyes widened. Static.

'Why was I so reckless? So careless?' were his last thoughts. The bullet was fired and all he could do was close his eyes.

########

He thought it was over. He had his last thoughts mentioned, his memories piling up, wanting to hold on to them before his life was over. Before his DEAD END. Even until his last breath, he was a coward.

He felt his body hit something hard.

THUD!

When he opened his eyes to see what had just happened, he heard a static. The future had changed. He hit the entrance door of the classroom, he was seeing a long purple hair from where he stood. Ninth.

"Ninth!" He was never relieved to see her.

"What were you thinking First? You can't die in her hands!" Ninth scolded.

"I- she- it was all happening so fast! And I thought you were trying to kill me!" He should have never said that.

Uryuu turned to him with a twitching eye, her only eye, and was scowling at him. She cracked her knuckles as she walked closer towards him. Yukiteru realized he just said something that offended her.

"What did you just say?"

"W- Well, not like I mean it the wrong way but, isn't bombs your thing?" He tried complimenting her trademark bombs, but it didn't work.

"I risked my life for you, you jerk!"

"I- I'm sorry!"

The woman with red hair cleared her throat, calling the attention of the two.

"I hate to break this amusement, but, with two future diary users in front of me, I cannot waste my time." she said and pointed her gun at Yukiteru then Uryuu, as if choosing which one to shoot. Yukiteru gulped.

"Tch! You think so highly of yourself too much!" Uryuu taunted.

'Don't you feel the same, Ninth?' Yukiteru make it a point not to say anything else to offend Ninth until he's free from harm. From danger.

"Then let's see how fast your bomb is against my bullet." challenged the red head and pulled the trigger.

Yukiteru screamed as he closed his eyes, both arms covering his face, protecting himself from the upcoming bullet. He heard the static. The future has changed. But either way, he couldn't say if it was a good change or a bad one.

"Yukii!" cried a familiar voice. "Yukii wake up!"

Yukiteru groaned, slowly opening his eyes. He felt that he was lying down on something soft. His eyes wanted to fixate on the person shaking him awake.

"Yukii! Are you alright? Please answer me!" continued the girl.

"..Y..uno?" he muttered. His eyes finally being able to focus on Yuno's figure. Yuno was smiling brightly at him, relieved he was alive.

"Thank goodness you're alright!"

"Uh?" he tried moving his body, but he felt his whole body aching terribly.

"D- Don't move yet!" Yuno said worriedly. Gently pushing Yukiteru back down. Yukiteru had no choice but to comply.

"Where am I? Where are we?" His eyes looked around, seeing that the place was dark, the ceilings seemed to have cracks, debris and wreckage.. were they still in school?

"Sakurami High School. Third floor." Yuno pulled out her phone to check for any changes of the future.

2/17 9:20
Yukii finally woke up!
2/17 9:30
Yukii still couldn't stand. But he's trying his hard. We're still stranded here.
2/17 9:40
Yukii and I are finally able to escape!

"Sakurami High School?" Yukiteru remembered that he met one of those who wanted to kill them. "What happened to that woman who was attacking me?"

"Fourth and Tenth went after her." Yuno replied.

Yuno then stood up to check the perimeter, trying to find a way out. They were trapped inside the school. Explosions collapsed the ceilings. Luckily for them, no one got hurt.

'Fourth and Tenth? So everyone is working together.' He figured. 'But that woman.. how did she know me? Is she also a diary user?'

"Yuno over here!" Yukiteru heard a small voice but it was loud.

Immediately, Yukiteru turned his head to see Reisuke Houjou, the Fifth diary user. Yukiteru screamed when he saw the boy. He just realized earlier that Fourth and Tenth were working together, but he did not expect the Fifth was here with them.

"Fifth! What are you doing here?!" Yukiteru screamed.

"Shh! You're too loud!" The Fifth scolded.

"Don't worry Yukii, if he does something to you, I will kill him myself." Yuno threatened, glaring sharply at the boy who returned her glare.

'Not only Yuno is scaring me right now..'

"Well then Second, help me with the opening here. Maybe we can push through it." The Fifth said, changing the topic. Yuno followed him.

While Yuno and Reisuke were trying to dig a way out through the small opening Reisuke found, Yukiteru heard someone coughing nearby. And wherever he was laying down, it was moving. Yukiteru rolled to the side, seeing that he's been lying down on a bag. The bag was on top of broken wooden walls and under it was Ninth.

'Eh?!' He pushed himself away before she sees. 'Why didn't Yuno or the Fifth didn't even care?!'

"Uhm, are you alright?" he asked.

Uryuu continued to cough as she regained consciousness. She couldn't stand due to the heavy loads of wood on top of her. Yukiteru groaned as he pushed everything away, helping her sit up afterwards.

"Ninth?" he called. Her eyepatch was gone. He examined her carefully, seeing that she had no bullet wounds.

'Oh good! She wasn't shot. I don't want to owe her.'

Static.

"Yukii!" Yuno called. "Yukii, we're finally getting out of here!"

Yukiteru smiled at Yuno. Yuno and Reisuke ran back to him to help him up, although Yukiteru was hesitant to let Reisuke touch him. But if they were all working together, he should give a bit of a trust, even to the Fifth.

When they got home, Yukiteru's wounds were treated. Now he was watching as Yuno and Uryuu argued at each other. It seems that Yuno did not help Uryuu on purpose, leaving her to die back there, that's why there were loads of wood on top of her, as if wanting to bury her alive.

Kurusu cleared his throat to shut them up.

"Yukiteru, you're aware of what's going on now, right?" He asked and Yukiteru nodded. "So far, none of us were killed and none of them were killed."

"So it's a draw." Yukiteru said.

"Well, they've killed civilians. And that's not good. People will wonder what the hell is going on." Kurusu said sharply. Making it a point that civilians should not be involved in such game.

"Anything we know about them?"

"They're also diary users, that's for sure." The Tenth stated. "I saw one of them staring at his phone. He was reading."

"More diary users?! No way!"

"Deus didn't say anything about it." Kurusu complained, crossing his arms as he thoughtfully thought about Deus' discussion.

"Well it won't be a fair fight if they were normal people."

"Tch. Who cares about a fair fight? What matters is we win." Uryuu muttered and Kurusu squinted at her. She wasn't affected. She's gone immune from their bad treatment towards her.

"Where is everybody?" Yukiteru asked, noticing the others aren't around. The The Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, he and Yuno were the ones present.

"We cut ourselves in half. The other half is working together too." Fourth replied.

"This is only Day 1. Tomorrow, they will make their strike again. So we need to rest for now." Tenth suggested.

"Don't we have a plan?" Again, Yukiteru asked.

"For now, we defend ourselves until the other group fills us in on what they've gathered. We're the defense, they're the offense."

"In other words, we're bait." Kurusu clarified. "While we are being chased, they will gather information on our opponents. Once we've studied them enough, we can kill them for sure."

'R- Right. Bait.'

It didn't sound good for Yukiteru but if Yuno and the others will protect him. Why not?
