Week 1, Day 1:

Chapter 3: Logic to Mystery:

Joshua felt dizzy when he had awakened, like when you only sleep for two hours only each night. For some reason Joshua felt like this day was a nightmare.

The ground felt cold, pavement from a road? Joshua got up slowly like he was in a dream.

Joshua looked at his surroundings, guessing where he was by memory; he was in the Scramble Crossing. Joshua held his chin and thought 'Why would I be sleeping here? I found Ayumu's dead body then, blank...' He sighed, his memory sucked after that.

Joshua watched as many people passed him, some almost bumped into him while some acted like he was never there. Leaping back in surprise, as someone seemed to go through him, he felt like this was not a normal situation.

"What's going on here?' Joshua asked himself, he held his chin more before he saw his half brother's limp body in the clearing of the road.

Joshua instantly ran to his body hoping to save what was left of it. Joshua almost attempted to move the body when Ayumu stirred a bit, one of his legs twitched before he got up idly.

"Ayumu!?" shouted Joshua in disbelief, he knew that he'd seen Ayumu's dead body in the alleyway. Ayumu's own blood mottled over it from before, he had the scent of rot and blood when Joshua found him before.

Ayumu did not express any emotions as he spoke "Why are you so worried?" Joshua felt his heart skip a beat, how did Ayumu know how worried he was? Joshua shook his head, as his scraggly ash blond hair seemed to drift along in the wind, how could he doubt his brother was ok.

"I saw your dead body." explained Joshua tartly while crossing his arms, Ayumu did not express anything as Joshua spoke more, "I smelled the blood and rot, I saw you were dead."

Ayumu looked at him blankly before he replied, "I feel not dead." Joshua widened his eyes in surprise; Ayumu never spoke this way before when he was around.

"If someone looks dead," began Ayumu in a mysterious tone that frustrated Joshua a bit, "Dead are they? Do you think?"

Joshua started to freak out. It was like Ayumu hit his head or something, Joshua felt overwhelmed by the fact Ayumu seemed different. Joshua held onto Ayumu's shoulders before he shook him.

Ayumu did not squeal or squirm, only he said, "I'm not gone. I'm the same as before. Can you stop shaking me?"

Joshua did as he sobbed a bit. What was wrong with his half brother? Joshua felt literally torn right now for the fact his brother acted oddly.

A little jingle from Joshua's phone sounded from his pocket, Joshua flinched a bit before he took out his phone. Joshua did not envisage what he read, "Go to 104 building. You have T- 60 minutes. Complete the task or face erasure by the 'Reapers."

"Reapers!' thought Joshua with astonishment, he quivered in excitement 'The 'Reaper Game!'

"Ok." said Ayumu in a calm tone. Joshua felt sweat roll down his face, when did Ayumu ever believe in the 'Reaper Game. He suddenly stood still as he asked his half brother "Wait how did you-"

"I read your mind," replied Ayumu like he did not care, Joshua stared at him feeling uneasy. When did Ayumu ever read his mind? In fact Ayumu never wanted to.

Ayumu looked at him suddenly, Joshua stopped and tried to make his mind blank a bit since he was not used to anyone reading his mind. It scared him. Ayumu asked, "What did Sanae say about day 1?"

Joshua couldn't believe it.

"He said to make a pact," replied Joshua off by heart, he had asked that question so many times. Ayumu looked at him for a while.

Suddenly pain shot through Joshua, he jerked a bit and stepped back. Ayumu only twitched. Joshua groaned as he looked where the pain came from, his right palm looked like it was bleeding.

No.

Joshua looked at it closely to see what seemed to be imprinted into his palm, a blood red timer.

This fascinated Joshua; it was the timer he heard about. He'd never thought he would ever get one imprinted to him.

Ayumu looked at him and asked "Timer? What happens?" Joshua looked at him before he replied, "Well, we need to get to a certain place or complete a certain request." Joshua sighed, "If we don't... Well we're gone like the mission said."

"I see," replied Ayumu with his accent clearly heard, he always had that weird accent.

A flash of light came suddenly.

Two frogs appeared out of nowhere. They had weird tattooed legs and weird symbols on them. Joshua had frozen when he saw this; he knew they were Noise.

Quickly Joshua yanked Ayumu behind him, sadly his half brother did not argue. Joshua felt a connection in his heart join someone else's.

Joshua quickly spoke, "We need a pact now Ayumu!" Ayumu nodded before Joshua asked, "Will you be my partner?"

Ayumu nodded before a bright flash of light shrouded them, it took a while before they found themselves in a somewhat different place that looked almost like the Scramble Crossing. Joshua blinked quickly before he noticed Ayumu was gone.

"Ayumu!?" yelled Joshua before he was knocked back by a frog Noise, he stumbled a bit and grunted "Alright, if you want to see the rough side of me go for it!"

Both frogs targeted Joshua, they leapt in union at him. Before they could land Joshua faced them with palms facing them, Joshua smirked when they became frozen mid-leap in the air.

Slowly he walked out of the way before they were unfrozen, they landed on the ground before they hopped a way to meet each other in a circle. Joshua really did not have any way to attack at the moment so he kept dodging.

Until his hand went into his one of his pockets, strangely he found what seemed to be a pin?

Joshua took it out and looked at it, it was mottled in shades of orange and amber with a blue tint in the middle. Joshua quickly put it on before he had to dodge another attack.

'How can I fight back?' thought Joshua since he never asked Sanae how to use pins. Joshua had to veer out of the way as the Noise advanced on him, he hated how he began to work this much.

Joshua felt something suddenly that felt shifting between warm and cold, he looked at his hands as blue fire sparked from them. Joshua did not question it before he threw it up to levitate it with his psychic powers.

"Take this!" roared Joshua as he sent a flurry of fire at the Noise, it took a few hits until the Noise were gone. Joshua smirked and quoted, "Piece of cake." He flicked his hand over his hair before the brilliant lights came back.

Joshua sighed when he was back where he was with Ayumu, he slowly turned his head to Ayumu as he looked away.

'I guess he knows that I was right all along.' gloated Joshua as he put his hand on Ayumu's shoulder, Ayumu did not flinch at all for some reason. Ayumu shook his head before Joshua felt a bit annoyed.

It took a while for Joshua to ask slyly, "Believe me now?" Ayumu did not reply; he shrugged as Joshua felt that something was wrong with him.

"I don't feel wrong," murmured Ayumu suddenly making Joshua feel awkward, "If we want to finish the mission, we need to go now." Joshua sighed before they left in the direction they needed to go.
