Chapter 8: Riddle 4: What or who should you really need to fear.

Note: And after a looong stop (deeplyyyy sorry but authors block sucks! and school too! and problem too!andmydeppressiondonthelp) I'm finally back with the new black class! So we had kayamine and hashiro's death on our shoulder. 2 hit with one chapter. This chapter is more on the romance then the angst. Ho and also I just wanted to say that I already know since the start how the story finish and when I asked you who you would like to have as pairing I wanted to know the most popular to make it the principal one, the result gave me Sachiko and Inagme. Those who follow since the start will remember that this was the most asked couple that everyone was ok with. It has nothing to do with the RP if you ask. So the principal characters are Sachiko and Inagme, it doesn't mean they can't die! With that, have a good reading. Yes maybe the next chapters will be longer but you need to know it's not that easy! This one will at least be 4,000 or more but the other will be 7,000 or more not less. I really am sorry guys for letting you down so much but seriously you don't know what is going through and I would like you all to understand that I am a human being and that am not able to write 24/24 and that author block exist!

We all know that even the most courageous warriors had fear, which is why the next question, who or what should you really fear? The bear or the hunter? The falling down tree, or the woodman who cut it? The person next to you, or yourself? Who or what is fear if you never learned the good things. The only thing to fear is... fear. But who bring you this fear? Is it you? Is it this or is it him/her?

!*!*!*!*!

*TOUTOUTOU*

The speakers turned on announcing another new. What is it this time? Another death, a riddle, a parent?! No, never would they want to hear that thing talk about death again!

-Hey everyone - This... isn't Irishige voice...

-Here is Nio Hashiri talking. My son couldn't say it this time, some complication. So the new riddle is, What or who should you really need to fear? With that have a good day! - and the speakers are off.

!*!*!*!*! /!\Chapter theme

Why must it be so cold... why... why is everything hurtful in this world... they just wished to live, not to die here. Past and sorrows need to be push away to survive now, even if it's difficult. Inagme and Sachiko are sleeping in the tree they found hugging each other from their previous discussion and at the same time to share warmth in this cold place, but suddenly Sachiko is woken up by a crying Inagme struggling.

-*sob* d-don't... - she say. Sachiko now knowing what Inagme's dreams are about only, by reflex, poked her gently at the same time of patting her head.

-Hey it's alright it's just a nightmare. - she say as Inagme start to wake up a bit

-e-eh? - Inagme seems a little lost as Sachiko cup her cheek to turn Inagme face to hers but when the two realize their proximity they blush as they were going to lean forward they stop and look elsewhere.

-e-eum a-anyway how dare you cup Inagme face like that! - Inagme say in a bitchy way.

-What's with that! You should thank me for waking you up! - Sachiko say.

-humph. - Inagme pouts.

-don't be so bitchy Inagme it's really not fun, I thought we got through that! - Sachiko say laughing. Inagme pout even more.

-Its Inagme-sama if you really want it. - she say smiling. Yep if she wants to be friend with Inagme she must prove her!

!*!*!*!*!

-I can't stay in a team, I need to survive alone...I just... don't care... -is all what was passing through Ayumi head as she walked away. They surely don't need her anyway. She probably won't survive... but she doesn't care... for the moment she will just wal... *SCRAATCH* Ayumi didn't have time to react properly as something scratch her, hurting her badly

-Agh! - she scream in pain falling to the ground as she turn around to see the beast Inagme and Sachiko found, the... lion wolf thing...

-W-what? - She say but suddenly the thing roared as it charged and Ayumi collapsed in the snow, freezing.

... ... ... ... ... She opened her eyes to found herself in a cave with a fire. What? What happened? God damn it her back hurt...

-Ho you're awake? - This voice... isn't that...?!

-I-I found you collapsed and bleeding bad on the ground a-and am sorry I couldn't do anything about your bitten leg and arm... I just found you in this state... - Nalou...

-... - Ayumi didn't know how to respond properly as she felt a big wave of nausea.

-Y-you should probably get back to sleep... - Nalou said getting out Kayamine phone as she looked at it and sighed feeling herself like crying again. Why... Why did Kayamine had to die... t-they could have been together and survive this... it's so painful... but in a way... maybe it was for the better, she wouldn't have been able to win if it meant for Kayamine to die...

-Y-You are... Na-lou Ke-nmochi am I r-ight? - Ayumi asked wincing in pain.

-Yeah... just call me Nalou... - Nalou answered looking away.

-So we both... lo-st our t-teammate - Ayumi said, how ironic. Well, she shouldn't care anyway. Why would she... if she does... it hurt.

-... - Nalou only stayed silent as tears started forming.

-I guess... - she said.

!*!*!*!*!

-h-how much t-time is t-this blizzard g-going t-to last! - Kyoko complained, even if they have winter coat, damn its cold! But they won't give in!

-I-I d-d-don't know b-but am freezing d-damn it - Kirinai answered cursing.

-d-do we s-still got p-pocky? W-Where's our backpack?! - Kyoko said, Kirinai grinned as he opened one of the winter coat pocket getting out a box of pocky.

-A b-b-backpack will slow us d-down - he said as he offered a pocky to Kyoko who grinned too and took one

-thanks! - She said but suddenly something hit her like a stone, what's that?

-t-there! t-there's a h-house?! w-why and how!? - She say pointing at something in the horizon, its true... pass all those tree! There's an house!

-...d-do you think? - he asked. Kyoko knew what he meant.

-yeah w-we could g-go check... I guess? - she said as the two of them started walking in the hard and heavy snow, thigh. The snow is reaching their thigh... their winter coats are soaking wet and freezing! They continue to walk until they can clearly see the wooden house. It... look like someone live there... there's... smoke coming out of the chimney! Fire! They tried their best to run to it as they arrive in front of the house but freeze, is it a trap?

-...d-do you think? - Kirinai ask earning in response a quiet node.

-l-lets open it and get back the f-fastest we can. - Kyoko said trying hard not to stutter from the cold.

-one t-two three! - they counted opening the door getting back the fastest way possible but Kirinai couldn't dodge completely the arrow coming at him as he dodged the best way possible earning the arrow in the shoulder.

-AGH! - he screamed in pain. Shit shit! Kyoko then came to help him up and get the arrow out as Kirinai stopped her.

-l-let th-e arrow there I-it avert t-the blood from g-goin' crazy... - he said wincing a little. Kyoko quietly nodded again as she helped him up and got him in the house checking for other traps.

!*!*!*!*!

-So... where do you think Kouko and Suzu are? - Haruki asked Sumireko.

-I don't know they are the only one I don't have any trace of... - she say. She turned to Shiena.

-You hacked Myojo so you should know what happened to the others am I right? - Sumireko asked as Shiena nodded.

-E-Eum yeah actually I think if I remember well I saw a post on the internet that was talking about someone killing an association of assassin that are also sisters. By sisters I mean those who pray god. - Shiena said.

-I know nothing else... - she finished.

-Well THAT helped a lot thank you 3 - Isuke said irritated as Otoya turned to her and frowned.

-hey! Don't talk to my Shiena-chan like that! - she said getting her hand on her pocket full of scissors. Isuke laughed at her and devilishly smiled as Haruki sweet dropped at the same time as Shiena as they looked in each other eyes understanding.

-Now now Isuke-sama we got no time for that! We need to hurry for Inagme and Kyoko! - Haruki said as Shiena gave the same speech to Otoya as everybody watched desperate

-humph! - Isuke pouted at the same time as Otoya.

!*!*!*!*!

-Mom... what did you plan this time why didn't you let me say it? - Irishige ask to his dear mother.

-For the plan, it's funnier as a surprise actually and... You'll see - Nio said.

-but why are you doing all this mom? - he ask waiting patiently for his mother answer.

-I already said it, you can't know. Everything in the right time - Nio said smiling sweetly as she open a melon bread bag and start eating one of the bread

-*munch munch* anyway just watch what is happening - Nio said one last time

!*!*!*!*!

Nalou had fall asleep not so late after Ayumi did. It was so quiet and the pain of losing Kayamine was too much for her as she started to cry again until she collapsed in a sleep, even though... she felt like crying even in her dream. Why did they have to be here anyway hu!? She... wouldn't have been destroyed if she hasn't been here, what she doesn't know is that fact that they all are here for a reason, the same reason. They all are here for something they weren't responsible for... for the past. The past their parents have. If only they knew... that the cause of their death is because of their parents... but how can you say this? It's not even really the parents fault and so with that, we have our last 6 survivors... how could the other die so quickly!? How could they pass from 8 to 6, why did two need to die!? Why was Hashiro trying to kill her?! That was all the question passing through her head in her sleep. She didn't know feeling and sins are augmented. What a life, fighting for survival like that.

-... KAYAMINE! - she woke up one-shot after having a dream about Kayamine dying with all the blood... all the... shit... she also woke up Ayumi with an heart attack

-Waaa! - Ayumi yelled getting up straight on her feet. That's when she saw Nalou crying and sobbing. Even if she wasn't in her team.. she shouldn't care but...

-... - she got up and sat beside Nalou and patted her head.

-It's going to be alright - she said sweetly trying to reassure her.

-W-why d-did *sob* she h-ad to die *sob* - Nalou cried out

-... I don't know... - yeah... why do people have to die? Why they had to die, is something Ayumi always asked herself.

!*!*!*!*!

-W-Why is it so f-fucking cold! - Inagme say complaining. Sachiko laughed a little, yeah its cold. The two of them got down the tree a while ago and are now walking in the snow, in the big blizzard.

-L-Like I w-would know! - she say laughing making Inagme pout

-I h-hate being cold! - Inagme complained again as Sachiko this time rolled her eyes.

-Y-You know you d-don't have to s-say it I t-think I unders-stood - Sachiko said smiling.

-Inagme don't c-care a-about if you know it o-or not! - she say crossing her arms as Sachiko smile and then approach Inagme and push her in the snow.

-Here, Ho Inagme-sama! - she said sarcastic and laughing.

-h-hey! N-no f-fair! - Inagme shout as she throw herself on Sachiko legs and make her fall in the snow

-waa! C-cold! - Sachiko say as Inagme smile, a true one, for one of the first time in front of Sachiko making her blush but sachiko blushing didn't last long as she took a snowball and throw it in Inagme face.

-homph! - Inagme say when she receive the snowball as she smirk evilly and make a snowball too throwing it at Sachiko who dodged smiling

-haha! Better luck next t - Sachiko didn't have time to finish her sentence that a snowball hit her in the face.

-Next time? - Inagme ask teasingly making Sachiko laugh

-what are you 10 years old? - Sachiko asked surprisingly not stuttering as Inagme pouted and throwed her another snowball in the face.

-Inagme! That was n-not c-cool! - Sachiko say restarting to stutter because of the snow in her face as she try to wipe away the snow in her eyes she trips and fall on Inagme, directly on her lips. Yes they ARE kissing as the two froze, not because of the snow and the cold, but because of the warmth. They aren't "kissing" By that I mean they aren't moving but their lips ARE sealed as the two blush not moving away... it's warm... and they want to but no one is courageous enough to move.

!*!*!*!*!

Kirinai didn't stop wincing in pain in the house as the two searched for thing Kyoko found a chest.

-I found a chest! - she say happily as kirinai smirked even with his wound as he approach her and then his face become serious

-what if it's a freakin' trap? - he ask. Kyoko smile then drop as she look at the chest and take step back.

-... let's see... - she say looking around for something to throw or to protect her, the only thing would be wood... she takes a chair and throw it at the chest breaking the old and musty chest. Nothing. So it wasn't a trap after all...

-*sigh of relief* What was in it? - kirinai say smirking as kyoko arrive a the chest and take a big and flexible stick with wire... it's a bow but it's not build up.

-material for bows... - she answer smiling as she take her pocky box and put one in her mouth as Kirinai smile, not smirk, and take one too. The house is warm, something they thought they would never find again, the feeling of warmth.

-hey do you think we will... die? - kyoko ask to Kirinai

-... I... dont know - he say munching on the pocky.

-... and I mean not just us two... im talking about the others too... - she finish as Kirinai eyes widen, is sister... is she going to be alright? No... he cant think like that.

-I mean... Inagme and... Sa...chiko? Sachiko right? - kyoko ask as Kirinai put a fake smirk

-y-yeah... I-Im sure they will survive... - he say

-... -

!*!*!*!*!

-So we really dont know where Suzu and Kouko live? - Haruki asked as Isuke frowned

-yeah cause the nerd here who was supposed to help dont have the information - Isuke growled as Otoya again took a step forward

-hey! I said you dont talk like that of my Shiena-chan didnt you understand! - she said angry with her scissors in hand as Isuke laughed and took out her brass knuckles. This wasnt going to be great

-Isuke-samaaa Stop it! We need each other help! - Haruki said

-Otoya you said you wouldnt hurt anyone anymore! - Shiena say. The two assasin, Otoya and Isuke, looked at each other and after, their girlfriend

-Shut up. - the two growled as they turned to the other

-hey! Dont copy me you psychopath with scissors fetish - said Isuke as at the same time Otoya said her sentence.

-Hey! Dont copy me you spoiled naked brat! - the two dead glared each other as the atmosphere started to become heavy their girlfriend took them and separeted them.

-ok stop that now lets go! -

!*!*!*!*! (Inagme&Sachiko theme)

The two were lips sealed, wanting to kiss the other. The feeling was growing and growing with the "curse" of this island as now the feeling was unbearable and they kissed, lips moving with the other in the cold snow. The two closed their eyes after a while as their tongue started dancing with the other almost stealing the air the other have as the two pant for air in the kiss, getting more and more excited and starting to moan, Inagme lifted her leg between Sachiko tight as Sachiko moaned in the kiss and humped slowly Inagme leg making Inagme moan…... until the two broke the kiss apart blushing, trail of saliva between their tongue

-...*pant* -

-*pant*... - the two stayed silent looking at each other lustful eyes wanting to take it further, lust…. They needed to talk, that's for sure. The two blushed even more as their lustful feeling started slowly to fade and calm

-... eum... - Sachiko was the first to break the ice. Inagme blushed even more if it was possible.

-yeah... we... we need to talk... - Inagme finished. Sachiko, who was on top, was the first to get up as she gave her hand to Inagme for her to take to help her get up. Inagme took it as she got up too.

-yeah... - the two said at the same time as they got up. What to do now, this situation is so embarass - *GROOAAR*

-s-shit! - the two said as they runned to a place to hide, behind a bush. After a while Sachiko came to toss to the side the bush.

-hey you still ther - but she was greeted with the beast as she started running away

-Sachiko! - Inagme yelled but Sachiko didn't hear as she continued to run away for her life only to realize that she's now lost. Without Inagme... shit...

-eum... - Sachiko was starting to freeze as the heat of earlier, lust and feeling leaving her body as now fear makes itself a way to her.

-I-Inagme? - she asked as she see the sun setting. Shit…. And the fact that she's wet doesn't help….. and make her rather uncomfortable

!*!*!*!*! (Kirinai&Kyoko theme)

-So... how do you build a bow, I mean, I know how but... for it to be strong and all... - Kyoko ask.

-I dont know... I think we need to tighten the wire extremly tight so it will arc the bow and stay like that... - he say as Kyoko quickly node.

-ok so like this? - Kyoko asked to Kirinai while tightening the wire and arching the stick making a bow like thing.

-yep now ya just got to knot it good! - he say smirking as she smile and knot the wire around the bow ends making a good arc and all what is needed.

-Ok... I think we got it! - she say smiling as she hug Kirinai making him smirk and blush a little

-yeah! - he say as he suddenly realize

-eum... do we have arrows or...? - he ask as Kyoko facepalm

-No we dont! - she say in her facepalm and in panic.

-What do we do!? - she ask as Kirinai think and smirk

-we build them! - he say not realizing the ever lasting hug.

-That'd be great dude! - Kyoko say smiling not realizing the hug too.

-but before dont ya think we should go dry our winter cloth! - Kirinai said smirking as Kyoko smiled and released him from the warm hug,

-yeah that'd be great actually cause my cloth are dripping wet! There's a fire here imma right? - she say as Kirinai node.

!*!*!*!*!

Without knowing it Ayumi was crying, she cared and so, she tought. She shouldnt have thought... in her situation, she shouldnt be thinking because... if she does... It hurt, it hurt to think about Them.

-A-Ayumi? - Nalou asked not understanding why she was crying. Ayumi only then realized the tears falling on her cheeks as she wipe them away.

-its nothing. - she say. Why... did they...

!*!*!*!*!

It makes already 3 hours that all of this is happening, they are searching for kouko and suzu but... they dont find anything, Sumireko asked people she knows to make research and Isuke did too... as suddenly

*RIIIIIING* Sumireko phone ringed.

-Hello? - she asked the answer she recieved shoked her as she hung up.

-S-Sumireko-chan? - asked Mahiru shyly

-w-we... we wont find them... - she say as she take a breath and say what she just heard.

-They died, 8 years ago in a plane crash, their kid survived. - she said without much emotion, but it shoked everyone.

-w-what... poor kid... so their kid is an orphan? - Haruki said, thinking about something... a secret... only the family knows... even the person itself.

-So... what do we do now? - Chitaru say as she look at Azuma who have a cold face but trying to reassure Haru who is sad from the news.

-I dont know... - Almost all of them answered.
