Another race again! XD I got to hurry for school. Bleh.

"GO!"

A bad feeling weighed over Manami as the race started. The racing idea was a bad one alltogether, but the rule Monokuma had just made up was even worse. Kill someone, and all the racers who wold have been participating in the next race will be eliminated. She couldn't shake off the feeling that someone would die soon... And she couldn't help but hope that it wouldn't be her, anyone but her... And she couldn't help feeling incredibly egoistic. Obviously, she didn't want some of the others to die too... Because they didn't deserved to die. They deserved to live... And she wanted to help them somehow, but was still scared of death... All this was greatly troubling her.

Shaking her head, she continued to advance in the maze to face a door, which she carefully opened. Seeing nothing wrong, she entered the hallway,sighing in relief. Until a screeching alarm resounded.

"Beep! Beep!You have ten seconds before a toxic gaz spread in the hallway. Past twenty seconds, the gaz will endanger your well-being and you will definitively have nausea. As more seconds past, more the gaz's effect will be worst on your health. Past forty seconds, it is lethal. Good luck! Starting in 3 seconds... 3..."

Manami couldn't think straight. Toxic gaz? They planned on poisoning her? Past forty seconds it is lethal?

"2..."

They were trying to kill her! This wasn't suppose to happen!

"1..."

Quickly, she stood up, twisting the doorknob of the door she just entered by...

"Started!"

It was locked. Her eyes widened before she started to run for her life. The hallway seemed so long, and the other door unreachable... She couldn't possibly make it in forty seconds! Even less twenty! Plus, the hallway always seemed to lengthened as she ran and ran. It just seemed impossible!
Seconds passed by quickly as she counted them in her head. 17... 18... 19... 20... Already at twenty, she thought it was a fluke, as she didn't felt like puking... Until she started to feel nauseous, falling to her knees before rising up quickly. She had no time to lose! 25... 26... 27... 28... 29... Right there, she bend in two, puking everything she had ate on the floor, creating a stinky puddle on the ground. 31... 32... She didn't had any time to lose! 35... 36.. 37.. Finally, after what seemed like endless running, she reached a doorknub, quickly turning it and opening the door before dashing through the opening, slamming the door shut as she leant into it, taking a deep breath, both because she was exhausted and needed some oxygen and to dissipate her nausea.

Then, she laughed as tears ran down her cheeks. She was just so relieved to have been able to make it, to be able to breath a (somewhat) pure air, to had survive. He failed to kill her. He failed. She had survived through this, and she would survive through all the other obstacles of the race, until she crossed that finishing line.

Still nauseous, she stood up, taking a deep breath before unsteadily stepping forward, determined to finish this race as soon as possible.

Without any surprise, the Monrova twins were side by side, holding hands, carefully walking among debris. Nothing much had happened to them yet, apart a big hole blocking their way. Obviously, Uten always thoroughly inspect every hallway or room they were getting into before letting Choco enter. Sometimes, the young maid couldn't help but think that her brother was a bit too much protective... But she didn't really mind his protective nature.

And they were still wandering around, searching for the exit. Finding a new door, Uten opened it, leaving Choco to inspect the room/hallway whatever it was. The latter looked around. Had they already passed by here? She couldn't be sure, after all, the hallways were all identicals...

"It lookes safe." said Uten, motioning to his sister to enter.

It was another long hallway, with no differences of the others. Until they heard a clicking, locking sound, with a rumbling noise following shortly afterward.

Their eyes widened as they turned to see that the upper portion of the wall, the part over the door, had somehow opened. And a big grey rock was coming down the opening.

"Run!" ordered Uten, pushing his sister forward and obeying to his own command as the rock hit the ground behind them.

Uten had noticed one thing when he had inspect the room. He hadn't thought it was particularly relevant. The floor was lightly incline, higher on the side of the door they entered the hallway with, and lower on the other side. Bt it was ideal for this rock to keep on rolling and ultimately, crush them.

No trips, no falls could be allowed, otherwise, the rock would roll over them. Choco could be quite clumsy sometimes, therefore, Uten was making sure she wouldn't fall.

After what seemed an eternity, Choco reached the door, fumbling a bit with the doorknob before being able to open the door wide open and dashing through it, followed by Uten. The hole left by the opened door was sealed by the rock, who slammed against the wall with a loud noise.

Instantly, Uten could do nothing but blame himself. If only he had realized the inclined floor was a trap, if he had thought of that possibilty, if he hadn't taken any chances... This wouldn't have happened! Choco wouldn,t had been in danger!

He looked over at her, to see she was smiling in relief. "I'm gad we got out of there without being hurt! Now let's continue!" she beamed cheerfully, heading toward another door. Uten smiled slightly; Choco was safe and sound, and that was the only important thing. The maid was lightly humming as she opened the door.

"Choco-"

Uten stop talking as song as silence replaced his sister's humming. He frowned, taking a step toward her, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

The girl slumped to her knees, tears streaming down her face as uncotrolled sobs shook her form.

In front of her laid a corpse, many knide's slashes marking the body and ripping the clothes and yellow, lifeless cat-like eyes staring into nothingness.

"Why?.." sobbed Choco, as water stained her maid dress. "Ryuu..."

*With a GIR voice from Invader Zim)* I'M SORRY RYUUUUUUU! I LOVED YOU, I LOVED YOU! I STILL DO! WAAAAH! I'LL MISS YOOOOUUUUU! D:
