Kino snapped his head up.
"What the fuck!?"
A small silver haired boy a few years younger than Kino was standing across from them holding up a pistol. Kino sighed.
"Just what I need, another Diary User."
The boy held up his Diary.
"I'm the Twelfth! You must be the First."
Kino smirked. "That's me! I'm Amano Kino. I have the Misfortune Diary." His smirk faded. "Aren't you gonna tell me your name and Diary?"
"Why should I tell you?" the younger boy snapped.
First pulled out the knife Yuyu gave him.
"It's only common courtesy to introduce yourself to someone you just met," he said as he charged with the knife in hand.
The boy rolled away from the knife that was thrust towards him and held up his pistol. Right as Kino's Future changed, another gun shot rung out.
Yuyu sighed in enjoyment as her mother poured warm water on her brown head.
"This feels so nice..."
"Mm-hmm. It's nice to relax every once and a while."
Murmur pushed her wet hair out of her face.
"Second," she said, "there's something I've been meaning to ask you."
"Yes?"
"Ki-kun explained that there was a fourth world. Do you and First ever take a look at that world?"
"... Occasionally," Yuno answered slowly. "There was... one thing about the Fourth World that... caught our eyes..."
"What?"
"... Y-Yukki," the pinkete said slowly. "Yukki... He- he wasn't-" A gunshot rang out. "What was that!?"
"Kino?" Yuyu whispered. "Kino!"
"W-wait until you get dressed first, Yu-chan!" Murmur cried as she held her arm.
Yuno rushed out of the tub to quickly put on her old clothes. Another gunshot rang out, making her rush outside in just her bra and a mini skirt.
"Kino!"
Yuyu and Murmur followed rabidly in towels.
Kino held his shoulder as a smirk crossed his pale face.
"Lucky shot..."
Twelfth held up his gun to shoot again right when his future changed.
" 'One of the brats tries to knock me out.' "
He dashed away from the hard fist that aimed for his silver head.
"Is this guy one of your Diary Owner friends!?" Hannah screeched.
"More or less...," Kino groaned as he slowly stood up. "Are you going to tell me your name or not, kid?"
"Don't call me kid, you brat. My name's Law Order." His Future changed. 'First tosses a knife at me and kills me, I'm dead. DEAD END.'
First tossed the knife towards Twelfth, missing his brown eye by an inch, and causing the side of his head to bleed. His Future changed.
'Big Trouble. He shoots me.' He quickly tackled Hannah down again as the gun fired. "H-Hannah-" Kino whispered when he noticed their position.
"Move, baka!" the bluenette screeched as she pushed him over to dodge the bullet. Kino's blush spread as he noticed their new position. "Don't just stare at me, he's gonna kill you!"
"KINO!" a high pitch cry sounded as a grown woman stabbed Twelfth in the right shoulder.
The silver haired boy backed up, screaming and holding his bleeding shoulder in pain.
"Damn it! Fuck!"
"What're you doing to my son?" Yuno growled.
"Kino!" Yuyu cried as she ran out in a towel. "Is he okay!?"
"He must be the Twelfth," the pinkette observed. "Would you like me to kill him for you, son?"
"That'd be nice."
"Gah! Why didn't my Diary tell me!?" Wait, this girl looks different than the others. Taller, thinner, bigger breasts...
Yuno held up her knife angrily.
"Sorry, but my son is the one who will take my Yukki's place as god."
"Why should he!? He's just a brat!" Law cried. "Everyone on this sickened planet is... I'm the only one who deserves the title of "god" on this planet!"
Kino's Future changed.
" 'Major Trouble, he shoots Mom in the head.' Mom, look out-"
Law's Future changed.
" 'A brat shoots me in the head. I'm dead. DEAD END.' "
He quickly moved out of the way, the bullet dashing through his silver hair. Right as Kino's Future changed again, the bullet flew into the right shoulder of the half-naked brunette.
All eyes moved to her as she slowly fell to the ground.
"YUYU-NEESAN!"
"YU-CHAN!"
"YUYU-SAN!"
"YUYU!"
The cries of concern and the screams of agony played out in unison as the brunette clutched her shoulder.
"It hurts!"
Yuno and Kino looked up angrily at the blonde that had fired the pistol.
"Aw dawn," she said, "I missed."
"Dere...!" First growled.
"Oh hi, Kino-kun~!" Dere cheered. "My Diary was right, I can kill two Diary Users at once!"
"Yurusenai...!" Yuno growled.
Yuyu grabbed hold of her wrist as she tried to stand up.
"Wait," she whispered, "let's let them fight while we escape..."
Law's Future changed.
'Ninth overpowers me and pins me down, and the other brats plot to escape while we fight each other.' Damn it, what do I-
Dere tackled him to the road, her free hand holding a firm grip on his throat and her gun pointed at Kino.
"Don't even think about running," she said with an intimidating tone, still smiling. Everyone just stared at her with a scowl. "Ah, there we go. Now, who to kill first?" Her grip on Twelfth tightened.
Law slowly loosened his grip around her wrist and took hold of his pistol. Her head snapped down when she heard it click, allowing Kino to quickly toss a knife at her.
She let out a scream of pain as she fell off of Law, clutching her right arm in pain. Law made a reach for her Fortune Diary only to be kicked in the face a second after his Future changed.
"Girls, get outta here," Kino whispered. "I'll take care of these motherfuckers."
"Are you sure?"
"Don't worry about me, Mom, I'll be fine. Just get Yuyu to safety."
"All right. Be careful, son."
The girls ran off in the other direction, Yuyu in Murmur's tight embrace.
Law's Future changed.
'First ducks past us, stealing one of our guns and his original weapon.
He grabbed his gun and moved away as First rolled past them. The brunette and stood up in front of them, one of the guns and his knife in his hands.
"Are you two ready? I'm joining this fight."
"Kino-kun, that's my gun!" Dere cried as she stood up and dashed backwards. "But, it's fine. My Diary says I'll eventually steal it back from you."
"I won't let you," First said with a glare. "I'll kill you both and become god."
"Why should either of you become god!? You're just brats like everyone else on this spoiled planet!" Twelfth roared. "I'll become the most powerful being alive, and teach the brats here right from wrong!" He held up his Diary. "I have the 'Generation Diary.' It lets me know of all the actions the children of this world will take."
"So that means-"
"-it records everything we do."
"Yes, as you can see, I'm the ultimate Diary User. I'll become god, and take the place of the one who spoiled you. If that moron doesn't know how to raise a world, then he shouldn't be god in the first place-"
"Damare!" the brunette roared as Law's Future changed.
'First charges to stab me. DEAD END.'
"Don't talk shit about my father, you asshole!" he roared as he charged at the smaller boy with the knife in hand. Twelfth was able to move out of the way before the knife could touch his skin, but instead cut a hole in his shirt.
Dere's Future changed.
'Good news, while Law is keeping the knife away from him, that creates an opening to take my gun back.' Sweet!
"You're the son of a god!?" Law asked as he struggled to keep the knife away from himself.
Dere swiped the gun from Kino's hand, and backed up to fire. The boys moved out of the way before the bullet hit them a second before Twelfth fired a bullet back at her. It went through her blonde hair, pulling several strands off.
"Ah! You bastard, how dare you do that to my hair!" Ninth cried before preparing fire. Nothing came out of her gun. "O-oh... I'm out of bullets..."
A moment after she was stabbed in her wounded arm by Kino, he was shot in the side. She backed away, screaming in pain after pulling out the knife as he fell to the ground, immobilized.
"Teme...!" Another bullet missed her head by an inch. Her Future changed. " 'Good news, I manage to escape.' " And with that, she ran off.
"Get back here, you coward!" Law cried as he chased after her.
Damn it... I can't move... It hurts...! Kino's Future changed. Now what? 'Major Trouble, Tenth finds me.' Crap!
"Vell vell vell, I vasn't expecting a Diary Owner to be vaiting for someone to put him out of his misery like this."
First moaned in pain as he struggled to get up, holding his side. His Future changed again, but all he payed attention to was the 'DEAD END' at the bottom of the screen.
N... n-no... Stay away.
Law stopped running to catch his breath. Dere was nowhere to be seen.
"You bastard!" he roared out to the sky in anger.
Why? What was it about any of the brats on this spoiled planet that made them worthy of the title of 'god.'
He was the only one who saw it. How this world was full of brats, and how everything always fell right into their hands, they never had to work. He hated it.
"I'll become god," he whispered, "and I'll teach all of these brats right from wrong..."
"Farewell, First-kun."
This can't be happening. Not now. Somebody... Tasukete...!
A small fist collided with Mai Reader, sending her a step back before she could step on the Trouble Diary.
"Get away from Kino!"
"Ha... Hannah..."
"Aw, damn it, I thought you would be standing. I guess not," the blunette said as she helped the wounded boy up.
Mai's Future changed.
Oh. So this girl can be used as a tool?
"You really think this vill make up for your snotty behavior?" she asked. "Just because you saved him, it doesn't make you any less of a brat. In fact, aren't you saving him for your own selfish needs?"
Hannah blinked.
"Don't listen to her," Kino moaned. "Her Diary tells her the regrets of others, and she uses it to her advantages... Don't let it get to you..." But why is she targeting Hannah, though?
"Vhat about you, First-kun?" Mai asked slowly. "Are you going to be so used to killing by the time this is over, you'll have no problem in killing her?"
"Damare," First moaned.
"We don't have time for this crap!" Hannah cried as she grabbed the Misfortune Diary before running off in the other direction with Kino around her shoulder.
Tenth chuckled.
"Let's see how vell they hold up on that."
"Hannah," Kino moaned, "did you see where my Mom and the others went...?"
Hannah stopped running.
"... N-no. I-I went back after you before they even went that far."
The Future changed. The brunette struggled to hold up his Diary, and when it finally did reach eye level, it read,
'Major Trouble. Hannah and I are alone, and extremely vulnerable to a Diary Owner.'
A/N: This November, I will be doing the November 50,000 words challenge, and I'll be doing a new story for that. So this and The Little Swimmer will be on hold for a while. (I might update them after I finish a chapter for the 50k words) So I thought I'd give you a long chapter with fanservice, introduction to the Twelfth, and a cliffhanger. I am evil, and yet compassionate all at the same time! XP Well, see you guys in December! (Or maybe sometime in November)
