Week 1, Day 4:

Chapter 14: The Mission Is What?

About the time when Joshua was able to stand up despite his injured shoulder, he checked the mission on his not mint conditioned cell phone: Make the Mus Rattus and Wildboar brand the most popular. Do so and you will not face erasure from the Reapers. You have T- 60 minutes.

The mission made no sense to him, how can you make a brand popular?

"Have any 'dea?" Ayumu asked as he held his chin while his loose sleeve slid down his pale arm, the pewter eyes looked into the lavender eyes of Joshua who closed them.

He sighed and shrugged 'This mission is different from the others we had before… I have a funny feeling about what it wants us to do.'

After a few moments he looked at his half brother then responded, "I don't get it at all…"

"I ultimately have proof!" at that moment Joshua felt his oxygen get cut off as Rei swung her arm around his neck, he gasped for air as she declared "Aleck is stumped Izo! Ha!"

Izo came after Rei while shaking his head "He won't be stumped if you kill him first." his maroon eye narrowed as he put in icily "Now why don't you let him have his air, is it all fair, do you even care." Joshua let in all the air he could breath before he turned to see that Izo had dodged Rei's attack.

The dark bluish haired boy stood up straighter as he fixed his small oval glasses' position, plainly his frown showed the cold nature he had "Mate, if I was weak I would have cried there."

"Oh really…" taunted the ashen haired lady as she pulled out her clipboard and scribbled something down, "Like you would cry, you are as cold as winter and spit fire like the sun. Believe me, Izo, you must have ice stuck up your throat." her skinny fingers spun her crimson pen around before she suddenly put it and the clipboard away.

It was funny to watch them banter, but something else was on his mind. Joshua finally had enough oxygen so he could inquire, "Nice meeting you two here. Now can you tell me what happened yesterday?"

Together they looked at him, Rei was stiff while Izo barely looked over his shoulder.

"We could answer that," started Izo coolly with an accusing tone in it, he slowly closed his eyes as he drew his hand through his drooping bangs "If you could just be further more precise on what you mean, fella… Do enlighten us."

Irritation fell over Joshua as he crossed his arms, "After the battle."

Izo stood still as he explained in his cold attitude "You just collapsed. That light that went into your shoulder might've been what caused it. But-" his head turned to look at him more slightly "-it confuses me most of what it is, and why it was there."

Rei walked over to Joshua, as her cape from her ruby jacket draped over her legs in the wind "No kidding. It's stupid to think of that light helping you; it healed part of your shoulder." her brown eyes flickered to Izo "Plus, luck seemed to be with you, Izo had made some gauze yesterday too."

Instantly Joshua looked at the see-through gauze on his injured shoulder, it was plastered to it that it almost looked invisible. He wondered how Izo could make gauze like this?

"Thank you-" said Joshua as he gave Izo a nod.

Izo only held up his hand and shook his head "Please, I don't like bleak asides."

'That's nice to know.' thought Joshua bitterly as he bit his lip.

Quickly he looked at Ayumu who was a feet away while staring off in the distance, this started to be unsettling for Joshua. Soon he followed his half brother's gaze, to where some RG girl was staring back ignorant to their presence.

For some reason Ayumu started to walk towards her, only to stop when he was almost in front of her. Joshua saw his lips move but Ayumu seemed to speak very quietly.

A tap on his shoulder made him jump and glance at Rei, "Blindy almost acts like he can see."

"Obviously," mumbled Joshua aloud as his lavender eyes drifted back to the blond, "He can sense where he's going and people. So you could say he can see, figuratively."

Rei stretched her arms in the air as she yawned "Sure… I'd love to see the day when he cannot sense anything. Wouldn't that be interesting to see him bumping into walls, people, Noise…"

"Don't you dare even say that!" retorted Joshua as he scowled at her, "People can't take away things that are apart of people."

"The Composer uses entry fees for players in the Reaper's Game…" Sanae's words echoed in his head that made Joshua shiver, the ashen blond wondered why those words came into his mind.

He barely remembered that lecture that Sanae gave him about it. For a second his mind had a twinge of pain.

Suddenly he was shaken by Ayumu causing his thoughts to go away.

Ayumu absently stared at him and whispered "Unease suffered, is what he feels. Thinking about something buried deep within the mind…" Joshua grabbed his brother's shoulders and gently pushed him away, more unease made him sweat making himself sick. Why did his brother have to say his emotions? What did Ayumu do when he wasn't around before the Reaper's Game?

His attention drew to Izo when he mused coldly "Having a little moment? Must be lovely." his jacket hit his shirt as wind went under it while his cloak fluttered as well "Why is it that people trust one and another, only betrayal comes in the end…"

The youngest of the group looked at Izo and remarked calmly "You feel cold to us. True?"

"Enough of this blabber fabler!" shouted Rei as she stomped her foot once. Her eyes glinted with mischief as she giggled "It's time for a little shopping time!"

"What?!" yelled Joshua in disbelief, how could she think of shopping when they needed to work out what the mission wants them to do "Forget it! We have a mission to do."

A sly smirk came on Rei's face as she questioned amused "Wait? Is it that you hate shopping Aleck?"

"I don't see the point of it!" growled Joshua hotly.

Izo was edging away from all of them, as his expression looked terrified "No… Don't make me… Not the horrors!"

Rei snuck up behind Izo and grabbed his arms behind him, she lifted him up in the air with a smirk of triumph "You are a twit Izo! It's for the mission." Izo gave Joshua terrified looks and mouthed 'I rather die!' while he started to kick his legs in thrashes.

Only Ayumu was the calmest of all of them, "Lets us go and do it."

Joshua face palmed himself as he started to back away, he felt apprehensive about Rei's smirk and wanted not find out what she would do.

Before he could do anything else, Rei had ran over to him and let go of Izo. Right away before they could escape she grabbed Joshua by his neat shirt collar while she grabbed onto Izo's cloak, then she started to drag them away.

Ayumu followed her in a stride while Joshua fumed as much as Izo.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
