Week 1, Day 2:

Chapter 5: How to Find Noise:

The sky was the first thing Joshua saw; he felt something was digging into his fair skin in his lower back area. Slowly he sat up looking confused 'Why was I sleeping on the ground?'

Joshua did not remember how he got here, but he knew how he got here. The game always had players wake up either in the Scramble Crossing or elsewhere in Shibuya. Instantly he knew where he was at the moment, Cat Street.

Joshua did not want to stay sitting on the ground, so he got up slowly before finding the rock that dug into his skin. Joshua scowled as he looked at it, in a second he threw it away.

Joshua went into his thinking pose as he wondered 'I'm pretty sure it's day two. Another fun day I guess.'

Joshua gently pushed away his hair as his lavender eyes spotted his sleeping brother; Ayumu was all curled up with a simple sappy face. Joshua felt a bit sad as he watched his brother sleep; it was hard for Joshua to know what was happening to his half brother.

"We're home..." he murmured with a soft chuckle, Joshua could not stop watching Ayumu sleep. As much as Joshua wanted to find Sanae, he needed to be at his half brother's side for now.

Joshua took out his phone, it did not contain a lot of phone numbers or texts because of the lack of friends he had. The only person he would call a friend was Sanae.

It looked pretty early, when Joshua looked at the sun as well as his phone's time. The sun sent a reddish pink, amber and copper tint to the sky.

Minutes later Ayumu woke up.

As soon as Ayumu made a sound Joshua spun around to face him, Joshua frowned as Ayumu slowly got up with a blank expression. His pale grey eyes did not even meet Joshua's as he said "Morning."

Joshua tipped his head up as he replied, "Sleep well Ayumu?" the younger half brother did not respond. Joshua sighed as Ayumu failed to look him in the eye, this felt wierd to Joshua since Ayumu was a chatterbox in the morning.

A sudden jingle disturbed the silence they shared, Joshua already had his phone out so he just checked the message. Joshua read it to Ayumu "Find the Noise and eliminate them in the two nearest districts. Do so in 1 hour, if you fail to do so you'll face erasure by the Reapers."

Joshua smirked before he started to speak teasingly "Looks like we need to silence them, or maybe your chatter will bring them back." Ayumu blinked once before he spoke "Your chatter will bring them."

Joshua groaned as he shook his head, Ayumu was still the same as the day before. But he knew that Ayumu was still fresh and fragile, he had no clue about the game still since he never paid attention to what Sanae talked about.

Joshua put his hand on his half brother's shoulder as he murmured, "Let's find the Noise first buddy." Ayumu did a slow nod as he replied, "Buddy..."

Joshua ignored what he said as he tried to remember what Sanae said before about finding Noise, of course he had a good memory but sometimes it failed him a third of the time.

'Now how do we find them?' thought Joshua as he paced a bit nearby Ayumu, he kept ranting the same thing in his head until Ayumu asked "Don't they find and fight?" Joshua jerked his head as he turned to him.

"Some find us, but mostly we find them too," replied Joshua as Ayumu stared at the ground, Ayumu's sentences sounded disorientated and emotionless. Something felt odd to Joshua about him.

Joshua held his chin as he half closed his eyes, his hands let go of his chin when agonizing pain shot through Joshua's right hand again. This time he jerked a bit more while Ayumu only twitched.

Again the timer was back, slowly seconds counted down as Joshua frowned. The timer sounded harmless when Sanae told him about it, but Joshua hated the pain.

"Is home?" asked Ayumu suddenly, the blond haired boy looked at Joshua who smiled a bit "Kind of Ayumu, we're still in the game." Joshua narrowed his eyes in a scowl; the improper grammar his half brother spoke killed his heart.

Joshua let out a grunt before he growled "Ayumu we need to focus," Ayumu barely locked eyes with him as he added, "If we don't figure out how to find the Noise, we'll be erased.

"Me erased," stated Ayumu as he looked at the ground again, "Not you. You think I erased."

Joshua widened his eyes; mainly Joshua was thinking about that. Joshua was sure he could survive, but Ayumu wouldn't stand a chance to survive without him.

Joshua folded his arms in disgust, "Let's go Ayumu," Joshua started to walk away as Ayumi trailed behind.

They wandered around their home as they looked for Noise, Joshua was studing his three pins he had. The one from yesterday was his favorate so far, but he checked his other pocket after he equiped the three pins he had at the moment.

Strangely he found another pin, it was pure black and carried a white skull emblem on it. He had a feeling he'd seen the symbol on it before.

When he was 6; he once saw a pact. Each of them had a pin just like this one.

Joshua shook his head trying to get that memory out of his head, he could not remember if it was the same pin, since the pact left before he had a chance to have a closer look.

Joshua stopped as he peered at the pin closer, it felt like this pin was special.

Joshua clenched his hand that carried the skull pin; suddenly he crouched as strange energy filled him. The area became distorted and deep blue, many different faded voices filled his head.

Joshua stopped when the voices became clearer 'Let's check out CAT's new graffiti. Let's meet up in the Scramble Crossing. I need to get home.'

Joshua gasped a bit feeling his mind shatter a bit; all those thoughts were not his. He did not know where they came from.

Joshua closed his eyes as he released his tight grip on the pin; he took deep breaths as he reopened them to find everything was normal again.

Ayumu was a bit far behind him when Joshua got out of his trance; Joshua saw Ayumu and called out to him "Ayumu, I think I found something." Ayumu slowly waddled over to him that made Joshua tap his foot impatiently.

As soon as his brother joined him Joshua commanded, "Check your pockets Ayumu," Ayumu looked at the ground as he did not express anything as Joshua snapped "Now!"

It took awhile for Ayumu to search his pockets, since Joshua normally held onto anything he got. Normally since his half brother was blind and never checked his pockets, it took him 2 minutes until he had pulled out the same pin as Joshua.

"Why this?" asked Ayumu as he held out his hands, Joshua gently took Ayumu's skull pin from him as he replied, "I think this will help us find the Noise,"
