Me: Well I'm sitting here sick with Mono, so I decided to start writing chapter 3! Even though I haven't even posted chapter 2 up yet!

Disclaimer: I don't own Battle Royale or Naruto, Katsuki's mine though.

Chapter 3

Haku's POV

I sat in a cave, shivering as I had to swim to get there and I was still damp and cold. I jumped when classical American music started playing over a hidden loudspeaker. I blinked as I heard Iruka's voice crackle over the speaker.

Oh yeah, he's giving us reports every six hours.

"Alright, 8 died last night, not a bad start! You could be doing better though! Here's a list of the dead, in order of who died first. Female #28 Sakura Haruno, Male #12, Kiba Inuzuka, Male #24, Ichiraku Kitano, Male # 29, 8, and 33, Kotetsu Iriyouka…"

I spaced out as he read the list of dead, I vaguely listened for Zabuza or Shinya, though they never came up. I was relieved, I had spent the most of the night jumping at every scream or gunshot, worrying that my best friends had died. I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up the sun was up and it was much warmer in the cave.

"Haku?" I screamed and spun around, facing the cave entrance with the gun I had received as a weapon pointed in the direction of the voice. I saw Katsuki, his shirt was torn up and blood was staining his skin and darkening his shirt.

"Shinya!" I dropped the pistol and ran to him, grabbing him by the arm and leading him into the cave. "Where are you hurt?"

He grunted and fell onto the floor, laying on his back and panting. Then he started to laugh quietly, "I'm not hurt anywhere Haku, I'm perfectly fine, just tired."

"Then whose blood…?" I left the question hanging as realization dawned on me. "Shinya, is that… did you…"

Shinya sat up and nodded, looking exhausted.

"You killed someone?" He nodded again. I jumped back, horrified. My Shinya… he could kill?

He jumped up as rocks tumbled down in front of the opening, I heard the click of his shotgun racking a round into the chamber, and I backed up against the wall, my eyes wide with terror.

Katsuki's POV

I heard Haku scooting back, and I shouldered the shotgun, I edged closer to the opening, and jumped back when a body fell heavily into the water. I peered upwards to see if someone was going to follow after it, when I received a large pain in my shoulder. I looked down towards the direction the pain came from and found Tazuna Kirigakure pointing a crossbow at me. I quickly pulled the trigger and he fell back into the water. I walked up to him and nudged him with the shotgun, making sure he was truly dead. When he didn't move, I walked back into the cave, dragging the bow behind me.

"Shinya," Haku said quietly, her voice shaking with fear. I glanced up at her, and sat down. "Let me take care of that."

"No," I moved to push her away, but she batted away my hand and placed a hand on the arrow, I sucked in a breath as pain lanced through my side. "Take a breath," she instructed, I sucked one in and was halfway through when she snapped the arrow in half.

"FUCK!" I yelled as a white-hot pain shot through my body, leaving a very painful tingling feeling behind. Haku slowly pulled on the arrow, which only increased the pain.

I muffled the next curse word as the pain only increased. Haku stopped and I started panting as the pain subsided.

"How far was that?" I asked in-between breaths.

"About half an inch," she said quietly, "You've got another three inches to go."

I tried to fight back the whimper but it still came out, "I'm sorry Shinya," she said quietly in my ear, "Ready?"

I nodded a yes halfheartedly. I felt her grip tighten on the arrow.

"One," I shut my eyes tightly, anticipating the pain.

"Two," I grabbed onto a rock in my hand, squeezing it like when your father tells you to bite down on a pencil as he removes a splinter from your finger.

"Three," I opened my mouth in a scream but nothing came out as pain rushed through my body, and overloaded my pain receptors. Suddenly the pain receded and I couldn't feel anything any longer.

Haku's POV

I watched as Shinya's mouth opened but the only thing that came out was a slow breath. As the arrow finally cleared his shoulder his body relaxed, and I had to catch him before he fell face-first onto the stone floor.

"Shinya I'm sorry," I said, picking him up and pulling his shirt off. I reached into my bag and yanked out a white shirt, ripping off the sleeve, I wrapped his shoulder with the sleeve, making a hasty makeshift bandage and I laid his head on my bag for a pillow.

I ran my hand through his short hair, remembering how he had done something like that for me.

I had been about 14, and I had been climbing a tree when the branch I was standing on broke, and I fell twenty feet through the branches and into a thorn bush. Shinya had been there almost immediately, carefully picking me up and carrying me to his house and the room I had been using. He pulled my shirt off, being polite and keeping me on my stomach so I wasn't indecent. He cleaned the cuts and scrapes, bandaged them, and put ice on the bruises I had received. He had sat there whispering softly to me as he wrapped a bandage around my back and stomach. After that he put my shirt back on and held me in his lap until I fell asleep, the soft stroking of my hair eventually putting me in dream land.

Shinya stirred after about an hour, I was in the middle of changing his bandage when his eyes opened.

"Hey," I said softly.

"Hey," he said, wincing as I tied off the bandage. He sat up and stretched, then put his shirt back on. "How long was I out?"

I glanced at my watch, "About an hour, I'm glad you woke up, we've got about thirty minutes before this place is a danger zone."

Shinya jumped up and threw the crossbow out far into the water. "What'd you do that for?" I asked, my eyes wide. He looked over at me, "Too cumbersome, besides who needs a bow when you've got something five times better?" He hefted the shotgun, and I shook my head.

"We've got to get moving, there's a clinic not to far from here," he told me, grabbing his map and looking at it, "Hopefully some of the medicine there isn't too expired." He waded into the water and disappeared as he climbed the bank next to the entrance.

I looked around and didn't see anyone. I was in an open grassy field, dotted here and there by some boulders and uneven ground. No Shinya.

"Shinya?" I called out hesitantly, not wanting to attract attention but not wanting to sit here alone.

I jumped and hid behind a boulder as I heard the sound of automatic gunfire, I crouched down, hoping to god that whoever it was wasn't shooting at me.

"What the fuck does Zabuza think he's doing?" I heard Shinya's voice behind me, I spun around and saw him crouched down, his hands on the shotgun.

"What do you mean?"

"A girl was up on the mountain, shit I dunno if she was part of the game, but she's standing there making some announcement over the megaphone, and Zabuza just up and blows her head off."

"That was the gunfire?"

Shinya nodded.

Katsuki's POV

I frowned, if Zabuza's never heard of this game or played it, how in the hell is he treating it so coldly? Most people are scared shitless of taking a life.

"Zabuza!" Haku yelled next to me, trying to get his attention. I quickly tackled her to the ground, my hand over her mouth.

"Are you fucking nuts!?" I hissed, "Do you want to die?"

Haku shook her head, and I moved my hands. "The last thing you want to do is go giving away where the hell you are Haku." I muttered, she looked upset and I sighed.

"Sorry," I said, just wanting to get this over with now so it wouldn't become a problem later, "I didn't… mean to hurt you."

Haku sighed and leaned against the boulder, "You aren't the same Shinya I know. You've changed."

I shrugged, "I'm still me, I can't afford to be me at the moment though, right now this is kill or be killed Haku, and you've got to prepare for that."

I could tell that Haku wanted to continue this, but we couldn't, as more gunshots echoed near us. I pulled my map out and studied it carefully. "We've got ten minutes to get out of here, the clinic's about an hour long walk. You up for it?"

Haku nodded, and I jumped up, wincing as the sling of the shotgun rubbed against my injured shoulder. When there was a pause in the gunshots, we tore across the field, Haku eventually overtaking me. We stopped when we hit the trees, we'd have plenty of cover here if things got hairy, so we slowed to a walk. I checked the map and saw that Haku had marked it with the Danger Zones. We were just on the border of the one that held the cave, we still had two to go before we were at the clinic.

I heard Haku cry out behind me and I spun around, paranoia bringing the shotgun to my hands.

"Ow," Haku muttered as she got up, brushing her jeans off. I shook my head, "If you didn't wear those you wouldn't trip."

"Look at you!" She exclaimed as we continued walking, "You're pants are twice the width of mine. How can you say to not wear them when you wear them?"

I glanced over my shoulder and grinned, "I don't trip over them."

She threw a rock at me and I ducked, turning back forward and continuing. I smiled as she groaned and continued on, Haku never liked strenuous exercise. She wasn't fat, actually she was very skinny, when I first met her I was afraid she was anorexic, the only reason she didn't look like skin and bones was the five layers of clothing she was wearing, she was just lazy as hell.

"How much further?" I heard her mutter for the tenth time, just to piss me off. I spun around and caught her around the waist, tripping her and laying her back on my knee.

"This is called the back-breaker," I said through my teeth, a grin on my face because of the fact that I was merely playing. "If you ask that one more time I'm gonna finish the move."

Haku's eyes were wide, "Shinya…"

Then I did something she didn't see coming in this particular state.

I bent down and kissed her. Which rewarded me with a sharp slap to the face.

"Don't do that to me! You fucking scared the shit out of me!"

I laughed quietly as she continued to rant. I glanced up and saw a color that didn't blend in with the foliage.

"Hey guess what," I said, a smile still on my face.

"What asshole?"

I smiled wider, "We're here. Now you can stay here, and continue to pitch a hissy fit, or you can follow me and help me fix my fucking shoulder."

Haku grumbled, but diligently followed me into the abandoned building. Immediately I ransacked the place, looking for the Iodine and any anesthetic I could find. Eventually I found the piss colored liquid, but no anesthetic.

"Damnit, Haku c'mere I found something."

"What?" Haku carefully picked over the number of bottles I had strewn around. Eventually she got over to me and glanced at the bottle of Iodine.

"What's this?"

"Antiseptic, it'll clean whatever crap got in the wound, we don't have any anesthetic, so if you get hurt you're fucked."

"What do you want me to do?"

I quickly yanked off my shirt, frowning at the hole, "I liked this shirt too," I muttered, I threw that to the side along with the bandage. I brushed off the dusty table and hoisted myself onto it. Laying back, I sighed in pain.

"Open the bottle and pour it onto the wound."

"The entire thing?"

"Yes, rip the cap off and flip the damn thing over. Get another bandage ready 'cause I'd rather not sit here and have this fucker bleed all over the place."

"Um… Okay." Haku quickly ripped up another shirt and unscrewed the cap on the wound. "Here goes…"

I felt the luke-warm liquid flow into my shoulder and across my chest and upper arm. Quickly the area that my wound was in began stinging, and I sucked in a breath. This made Haku stop, at which I grabbed her wrist.

"Don't, fucking, stop." I released her wrist, and she continued pouring slowly. Eventually I got used to the pain, and I relaxed. This was just like being repeatedly stung by bees in a warm humid bathtub.

"You okay?" I opened my eyes and blinked.

"Yeah, stings a bit though."

"Sorry."

I sat up and winced, Haku immediately grabbed the ripped up shirt and started tying it around my shoulder.

"Stop saying sorry Haku."

"Why?"

"You haven't done anything yet."

"Sorry."

I growled, and she squeaked. I smiled and hugged her with my good arm.

"So why did you kiss me?"

I shrugged, and immediately regretted it, when the pain receded I managed a reply, "Fun maybe?"

Haku only rolled her eyes, and I shrugged. "I couldn't tell ya Haku."

She opened her mouth to reply, when a scream echoed throughout the surrounding forest.

"Can't we get a minutes peace?" I complained quietly, yanking my shirt on, I ran to the window and peeked out, hearing nothing and seeing no movement, I sighed.

"Hopefully whoever it was won't come here."

Shikamaru's POV

"So troublesome," I said under my breath as I followed the large path Choji left behind. "Christ a blind bat could follow this."

I tightened my belt, making sure that the revolver stashed there was well hidden. I hadn't scared Choji, but he knew someone was following him. Hopefully the pig wouldn't immediately take me as a threat…

"Here piggy piggy," I muttered under my breath, as I neared a clearing, a smell hit my nostrils.

Food.

"Gotcha." I calmly walked out of the foliage into the clearing, my hands behind my back, calmly resting on the grip of the revolver.

"Hey Choji," I said, trying to sound friendly. He must have jumped two feet in the air, a scream on his lips. He spun around.

"Oh, h-hey Shikam-maru." I saw his right hand nearing his bag, and I pulled the revolver on him.

"Shikamaru!" Choji cried out, his entire gelatinous mass quivering with fear.

"God you are so pathetically disgusting," I said. I shot him in the knee, and he squealed with pain. "Fuck you even sound like a pig!"

He stopped crying out and sat there, blood leaking between his fingers and his body shaking with fear and pain.

"Let me ease that for you." I shot him in the head. I grabbed his bag and added his water to mine, ditching the food as there was hardly any left. His weapon was nice though, a katana, could be of some use if I ever lose hold of the revolver. Mayhaps the fat pig wasn't so useless after all.

I heard some rustling in the bushes behind me, and I drew the katana, deciding to see how useful it really would have been.

"It's useless."

I stood up straight, "Shino?"

Shino walked out, an MP5 in his hands. I relaxed and sheathed the katana.

"What do you mean it's useless?"

"Compared to a bullet I mean, good luck trying to block them."

I frowned.

"Wha-?" The sentence died on my lips.

Literally.

Katsuki's POV

I ducked down as more gunfire echoed nearby.

"Son of a bitch!" I hissed, holding the shotgun in my hands, "Who the hell is out there and what kind of gang war are they holding?"

Haku shrugged and I regarded her with a look of sarcasm.

"Like I expected you to have an answer." I cringed mentally the second these words left my lips, as Haku looked down in sadness.

"Sorry," I said, "I'm just…" I sighed and waved around at our surroundings.

"Stop saying sorry."

"Huh?" I looked at her, she raised her head and looked me straight in the eye fiercely.

"You haven't done anything, stop apologizing."

I rolled my eyes and scooted closer to her, wrapping an arm around her, when a speaker that was about two feet away blared to life.

From it came classical music, a band playing a quick and cheery marching song. Eventually the music quieted and Iruka's voice came to life.

"Wow people are really taking things to the next step!" He said joyfully, "Ten dead in the past six hours! Good job excellent progress! Here's the list of dead: Female #32: Ino Yamanaka, male #29: Kazuhiko Imamura, Female #35 Karrah Incino. Female #14, Hinomora Azusha, Female #26, Shikyo Aburotse, Male #12 Ichigo Kakorouga, Female #28 Kari Toriyama, Female #38 Toriko Kantura Male #24 Choji Onimura, Male #40 Shikamaru Nara. That's all, good luck! Here's a list of the next danger zones."

Haku frantically pulled her map out and jotted down the times and locations as I sat back and relaxed.

"Man… ten people…" I said, "They're finally getting it."

"Getting what?"

"That they'll die in two more days if they don't kill each other."

"So will we."

I nodded, then stood up. "Yup, that's why we're getting out of here, so… get whatever you need together. Then let me know."

I walked over to the corner where I had thrown my shirt, and frowned in dismay. Shrugging, I pulled it over my head and waited for Haku.

---

Not much of a cliffhanger I know, hell not much of an ending but I needed a place to stop it and this seemed like as good as any.

Please R&R!
