No! No! No!

I ran around through this neighborhood with my tears leaving a trail.

Not good! Gun I need a gun! A real gun!

I clutched my weapon; a stun gun. This wouldn't be able to defend me. This would be the last thing I'd hold. There was no excuse I knew there'd be people playing I've already seen Soma's body.

Cut and stabbed to death! Someone killed him! Someone's playing!

While running I guess I didn't see where I was running because I didn't notice a small hill and I tripped. I nearly had heart attack when I released I had lost my weapon.

No where is it! What am I doing! Digging my own grave?

After crawling around for a few minutes I finally found it. Right after I heard the sound of running then a sudden stop.

"Wait huh wait huh Rakki." said a male voice.

I got up and turned around. What I saw was Takamuku Taira holding an uzi. He turned around and looked me straight in the eye.

"Kajahara? Mikuru Kajahara?" he asked.

I immediately panicked and sprinted away.

"Wait come on Kajahara!" he shouted from behind.

Kill! All of them want to kill!

I never have missed home as much as I do now. I thought of my mother and my younger brother. What are they doing right now, now that they know I'm in the Program. The only other time I feared death like this was when I was about four, when my dad was still alive. He was always mad hitting me and mom. To the point where I was glad he got shot to death by a robber.

Mom and Maku. I wish I didn't come!

The days of me begging to come on this trip began rushing through my mind. All the things I promised to do. All the time I spent doing chores. Just to get stuck in the Program. However as I ran I accidently rammed into someone. As we both fell to ground I began hoping for a friend.

Please be a friend! Please be a friend!

"Mikuru?" a soft voice asked.

"Aoi?"

Aoi. She's a nice girl. Does this mean I'm safe?

We both got up at the same time. We spent a few seconds just staring at each other. I noticed that she chopped her hair to about my length and instead of her school top she wore a green T-shirt.

"Mikuru." she said coldly. "I'm sorry." she then raised a gun.

Before she could I fire I panicked and used my stun gun on her hand. Due to the shock she accidently threw her gun to the right. We both immediately ran toward it but I managed to beat her to it by tackling her to the ground and crawling over her body.

"Mikuru please!" she begged as I held the gun.

Not me!

I fired the gun once and sprinted away from the scene. I didn't want to kill her but I didn't want her to kill me. As I ran I felt my legs about to give out but I wanted to make sure she couldn't catch up. After a few more minutes I couldn't take it and I fell onto the ground. I laid there closing my eyes before opening my eyes to reveal to my horror more dead bodies. It was Miyake and another member of the Kuroki Klan whose head was missing. I felt my legs get a burst of adrenaline as I got up to run yet again.

Is this how I'll spend the rest of my life literally running for my life!

This when I stopped running I could tell I was done running this time. I lied on a patch of grass as I cried. I looked at my stun gun and gun.

Why does this have to happen to us? Can I actually use these to kill?

As I lied there in a puddle of my tears I heard the sound of branches moving; someone was coming. I stood up but by the way my legs felt I knew I couldn't run. I took a deep sigh; I wasn't fit to kill so this person entering would be my killer.

"Alright I've spent my whole time running and now my legs can barely move so if you're going to kill me make it quick!" I shouted while closing my eyes and started crying again.

"Well there is something you can do to save your life." a deep voice said.

"Huh what?"

"Take your clothes off!"

I froze. Would I rather die or would I rather get raped. Then my eyes turned to my gun again.

Can I? Will I?

I opened my eyes, turned around, and pointed my gun. However what I saw was something reassuring.

"Whoa Miku don't shoot. It was a joke sorry." my good friend Katsumi said in a friendly tone.

"Katsumi!" I shouted as I fell over on her to give her a hug.

"Hey calm down. Get off I was joking about the take your clothes off thing."
