Chapter 2: Instincts:

Joshua never knew why his half brother did not see the 'Reaper Game like he did, Ayumu never liked that he could see 'other' people. Joshua would try to explain to his brother what the game was about, but for some reason Ayumu did not have a strong enough imagination to believe him.

Joshua looked at his brother with irritation, as Ayumu tried to talk him out of what he called 'madness' and dream he kept following.

"Come on Joshua," retorted Ayumu in a naive way that his accent acted up, his words seemed to slur and Joshua could not understand what he was saying, "How can a person have bat wings? It doesn't make any sense. Plus the wings would need to be larger than the person itself."

Joshua yawned feeling bored a bit, just one of those days when you want to be by yourself. He pushed his scraggly ash blond hair away as he mumbled, "Why don't you go to that Tin Pin Slammers game you talked about." Ayumu went silent as his eyes sparkled in delight; Ayumu was the most naive person he ever met.

"Ok. See ya later Josh." said Ayumu as he seemed to recite a nickname for him, Joshua would just like to be called 'Joshua' not 'Josh'. He watched as his half brother walked away from the table, Ayumu was also the most cheerful person he met but he was obsessed with logic.

Joshua leaned back on his chair lazily; a feeling of contentment come to mind after his half brother left him in peace.

"You wanted him gone Joshua?" asked Sanae as he came back to sit next to Joshua, Joshua shrugged not caring really if Ayumu came back at all. Sanae observed Joshua as when he asked "Sanae, why do people join the 'Reaper Game if it's so hard to survive?" a sigh came from Sanae that sounded sad.

Sanae pushed his glasses back before he replied, "That's just it, you just don't get a choice."

Ayumu hurried along after he got away from his 'crazy' half brother, he really did not hate him; he just couldn't understand him.

"Why can't I just have a normal brother?" muttered Ayumu as he waited at the lights to cross the street, he tapped his foot impatiently. Suddenly he saw a girl younger than him, she looked like the age of 12. Her slightly spiked hair was the distinct part of her.

'I guess she is a common citizen here?' thought Ayumu feeling an unknown feeling towards her before he started to cross the street, he walked slowly and vigilantly aware of the cars.

A sudden pain came in his hip.

"Ouch!" he yelped as soon as he got to the other side, he looked at it with a bad feeling rising within him.

Joshua was glad he got rid of Ayumu for now; he could ask all the questions he wanted without a care.

"You see," continued Sanae as Joshua eagerly listened, "The game is more about a second chance than devising fun without a care." Joshua blinked as he giggled a bit, this was better than playing mealy foolish games his brother would enjoy.

Being here with someone that can understand you was the best thing Joshua could want, the 'Reaper Game sounded more his style than the RG. He would like to just be in the game instead of hearing about it.

Joshua's lavender eyes glowed as Sanae started to explain a newfangled topic, "But the Composer chooses who lives, and who starts again in the game. I for one, keeps the game in check if a problem arises." Joshua looked at him perplexed while still eager for more knowledge.

But a strange feeling came over him, something he had not felt for quite awhile. Joshua did not know what it was but it urged him to go somewhere. Sanae detected something was wrong; he franticly looked around as Joshua felt overwhelmed by something dreadful.

A tear came from one of Joshua's eyes what confused him.

A single voice was heard in an agonized scream in Joshua's head "Joshua!" Joshua stood up immediately feeling terrified. It was Ayumu's voice.

Joshua felt great pain in his heart suddenly, like someone impaled it with a sharp object straight through it. Joshua gasped in pain; he had to find his half brother right away.

Without another word Joshua darted to the door, he was deaf to all the sounds around him. Sanae noticed that he was running away and called after him "Joshua wait!"

Joshua looked around franticly when he had just gotten out; he had no idea which way Ayumu went. Even though Joshua knew that he had psychic powers also he did not have the power to read minds like his half brother, Ayumu and Joshua were both born naturally with psychic powers.

Joshua went in the only direction that he could go, with great force he sprinted away even knocking over some people who got in his way. Joshua did not say sorry, his desperation to find his half brother was too great.

'I'm coming Ayumu!' he thought hoping that Ayumu could read his mind long distance; he did not even stop at the stoplights. Cars nearly hit him.

Joshua was not good with running long distances and after a while he stopped while sweating; he took long deep breaths as he felt a weak sense of Ayumu nearby.

Joshua refreshed a bit before he started to hunt for his half brother again, stridden this time as his lavender eyes became dull from being tired. It was like searching for the bottom of the sea, as Ayumu would have described it.

"Where are you Ayumu?" muttered Joshua as he swayed his head to look around, he felt lost and hopeless now. Ayumu could have at least told him where the place was.

The sky became the late afternoon; Joshua had no luck whatsoever.

Joshua soon hung his head and stopped walking; the sense of Ayumu vanished. Joshua was lost for words; he failed at finding the only family he had left.

Joshua turned to go back when a certain alleyway allured his attention, he stared into the dark shadows there with his gaze darkened. Maybe?

That option was ridiculous. Why would Ayumu go in there?

Joshua did not want to go in a dark alleyway. It seemed too eerie.

Joshua sighed thinking it was worth a shot.

Joshua slowly entered the alleyway; the grime from the ground got stuck to his shoes in which he gagged to himself. He felt that he would regret this.

Soon after awhile he had more space around him, only the dim light of the sky above lit his way. Joshua was not a fan of doing these sorts of things.

Joshua reached the end of the alleyway only to smell a scent he had contacted when his father and mother died. Blood and rot.

"What?" yelped Joshua as he soon looked at his surroundings, horror movie setting, yep? Joshua walked forward until he felt something solid on the ground.

A wave of terror filled him, a strong sense filled him, as he knew what it was. Ayumu...

Joshua tried to hold back a sob but it came out. Only a few seconds of grieving came, before he felt something push against his head. Cold metal in a circular shape?

"Ready for a game?" asked the mysterious person, before Joshua could replied a dreadful pain impaled the side of his head. He silently toppled over, blood formed around his mouth as he was deaf to all around him.

His eyes saw darkness slowly form over his sight; Joshua's mind went blank.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter. To be continued...
