Welcome back! Glad you pushed on through the first chapter and made it to this one! Before I start I have a reviewer that I would like to address.
SkeletonKnight: Thanks! I hope to make Yuno as cannon as possible without her actually killing him while adding my own ideas into her. If you're reading this then thanks for reading this next chapter!
And on a side note, Aozora has no idea he is the son of a God yet. He just knows his father is dead.
Entry (chapter) 2: The Death Game Officially Begins
"Where am I?" Zora asks himself looking around seeing eleven other circles with dark shadows except for two. One being Yuno Gasai and the other showing a red X. Then there is his old imaginary buddy. Deus Ex Machina.
"I see you all came. Well, those who are alive anyway." The giant god says looking at the spot where another shadow man would have been. "As you all know, you have been given future diaries."
"Yeah and I have a question about this crap." Zora tells him bluntly. Deus raises an eyebrow.
"Can it wait?" The god asks.
"Not really since this whole thing sounds like a death match." Zora says.
The being laughs as do a couple of the shadows. "You are pretty sharp for a mortal." The being turns its attention away. "This is indeed a death game in simple terms." It looks at each individual carefully as if it can see their features easily. "In order to fulfill my role of God of this universe." A huge racket of talking and laughing until the God raises his huge hand.
"I want no part of this." Zora states shocking Deus and getting mocked by others. "This is so stupid. Why start a time wasting game full of death and chaos when you can just choose the most well suited for your role?"
"Because I want to have some sort of entertainment before I disappear." Deus replies.
"Fair enough." Zora says shrugging a bit.
"Finish your speach then Deus." He says waving a hand.
The God deadpans at the boy. "You gave up on quitting the game?"
"I doubt you'll let me go. Besides, I was only stating my opinion." He replies.
"Each of your diaries have different predictions, so don't assume you will be on level playing fields. Take our newest deadman over here." He points to the X. "His told him where his victims would be, but another diary user killed him easily." He breathes in. "Now each of you will have different numbers as nicknames if you so please. I shall now address the Dead End. Your entries are not set in stone. You may try and change your future if you want, but be careful if you don't want to die."
'What should I make for dinner?' Zora thinks getting bored.
"And if your phone is broken then you will die as well." Deus says not surprising Zora since he found that out already. "Finally, Muru Muru and I will not interfere in the game."
"Hey First." A feminine voice calls from a couple platforms over.
Zora looks over uninterested. "What do you want?"
"I will make you die soon, don't worry." She tells him.
"You can try, but you will fail just like everyone else." He replies sounding like it's a fact.
"Watch your back First or you will die very quickly." She says disappearing.
Zora soon appears back on the building in the middle of the night. He sighs looking around the building finding Yuno getting up. He walks towards the door, but doesn't get there quick enough to avoid any questions.
"Wait a minute. You still owe me answers." Yuno says to him.
"Sorry Gasai, but I owe you nothing." He states bluntly not even turning around.
"I will kill you myself if you don't answer my questions." She threatens.
"Tell you what, I will explain some things tomorrow. It's too late at night to deal with explanations of any kind." He says.
"No! You will-"
"I'm sure this is what Yuki would want." He states stopping her angry mood.
"You got until tomorrow after school. No later." She says not satisfied.
His phone buzzes, so he takes it out. [The school blows up.] His eyes widen. "I wish I was able to see the date it happens. No doubt people will die because of this."
Yuno looks at her phone so confused and agrivated. She just doesn't understand any of this. 'How is Yuki dead? How is he this kid's father?' A few minutes later she realizes he just played her emotion to his own goal. 'This kid is not Yuki. My beloved Yuki would never do that to me!'
Later
"I can't believe I was out so late." Zora mutters walking to his couch. He sits down knowing someone is at his kitchen table. "Why are you here Muru?"
The impish girl pouts. "How did you know I was here? The lights aren't even on." She says.
"And here I thought you knew. I have always been able to see in any kind of lighting. Be it smoke, night and very bright light." He explains
"Well poo." She says looking at the floor.
"Though it could also be the fact I smell burnt toast." He tells her smelling burnt toast like he said. Muru let out a pained yelp at being caught. "You should learn to cook."
"You should learn how to respect a lady!" Muru retorts comically pointing at him.
"Sure. Let me know when you see one." Zora tells her smiling a little bit. He enjoys some of their banter.
Next Day
"We'll ain't this interesting." Zora says looking at his next future. [Some strange girl tries to kill me.] "I wonder if it will be Gasai." The bell rings signaling the end of class. He walks to Gasai. "When do you want to talk about the thing?"
She glares at him a little bit. "I would say now, but I have to get to my next class. We will talk after school."
"I guess I could reschedule my daily bullies beatings for another day." He says as if seriously considering this.
She walks away from him out the door. Zora sighs looking out the window imagining an normal life. A girl walks in catching his attention. She strides over to him with purpose.
"Excuse me, are you Aozora Amono?" She asks politely. He looks her up and down finding her dress very strange.
"Sorry, but my name is Yuki Gasai." He lies not trusting this strange girl that seems to have appeared right after the announcement for the game last night. He isn't stupid enough for that. So he decided to choose that Yuki guy's name and add it to the Gasai girl's last name.
The girl frowns. "I know you're lying." She states.
"Can you prove this?" He asks. "I could be anyone, but in this case I am Yuki."
She gets in his face without him even budging. "If this is true then I guess you wouldn't care if I blew this damn school sky high." She says pulling out a cylinder detonation controller. Zora's phone buzzes notifying him that his future just changed again. The girl smirks. "I got you Aozora Amano."
Zora frowns. "I guess you do." He quickly punches her in the jaw knocking her back with her staggering the whole way back. She sends a death glare at him. "I refuse to restrain myself from punching anyone if they deserve it." He then levels her with a stern look. "Especially one who seems to be a terrorist."
"You will regret this First. With the blood of your schoolmates!" She announces about the press the button until Yuno tries to launch a surprise attack on the girl. The strange girl jumps away near a window.
"Sorry, but I don't hear any screams of pain or terror yet." Zora states angering the girl. "Such a disappointing display."
"Are you trying to get this school blown up?" Yup asks surprised at how uncaring he is about the lives in this school.
"That's it! Say goodbye to your school!" The strange girl, Ninth, growls at Zora.
"Not if I can take your control first." Zora states starting a sprint towards her. She jumps out the window avoiding him just barely. "Well this isn't very good." His phone goes off again. He brings out his phone. [The room explodes blowing my arm off in the process as I run to the door.] "Get to the door Gasai!" He orders jumping out the window attempting to escape the incoming explosion.
He lands on the ground in a crouch position glaring at Ninth as the room explodes above him. He quickly evades the ruble coming down putting him a great deal away from Ninth. He finally stops safe from ruble. He stands up to his full height still glaring at the girl.
"Looks like you came in time to save your little school buddies!" She yells with a psychotic grin. "Now they get to see the reason behind the bombing of their precious school!"
"To be honest, I couldn't care less about the school if I tried, but when you put other lives in danger whom aren't involved is the moment you get on my nerves. Bring everyone in this school like this into our feud just pisses me off." Zora states not letting too much of his anger get out. Just enough to let her know he is not happy.
"Too bad I am not here to listen to your little speech. I am here for your life. Either let me kill you or watch your precious school buddies die!" She tells him. "Don't think for too long though. My finger tends to get twitchy."
Zora looks above her watching Yuno ready to jump through the window with an axe. He keeps a straight face returning his gaze to Ninth. "How about this?" He asks flipping her off with his middle finger causing her to growl and everyone watching to scream at him.
She presses the button exploding part of the building as Yuno jumps out the window. Ninth turns her head to look, but ends up blocking Yuno's attack and pushing her away as Zora jets towards Ninth. Ninth looks back to Zora right as he sends a spiral kick at her cheek sending her sideways to the ground with a scream of pain. Turns our that as she hit the fan ground her eye was impaled by something sharp from the rumble earlier.
Ninth gets up holding her eye in pain. "You little bastard!" Suddenly smoke appears everywhere then she comes out on a motorcycle from out of nowhere riding out. "Here is a goodbye present you bastard!" She then presses the button again blowing up more of the school as she gets away.
Throughout the whole scene Zora stands over Yuno protecting her from the ruble that just started to come down. He then thinks to himself. 'Why do I feel like this was meant to be longer and more mind bending?' He ignores this question as Yuno gets up dusting herself off. "Are you alright Gasai?" Zora asks looking her while the sirens get close.
Yuno stares wide eyed at him as Zora's face is replaced by Yuki's face. She quickly wraps her arms around him in a hug. "I am fine now Yuki."
Zora sighs. "Still not Yuki." He states deadpanning at her.
She looks at his face again realizing it isn't Yuki. She pushes him away as her cheeks turn red. "Shut up. You still need to explain a lot!"
"Actually that is what I would like to know." A police officer says walking up to them. "The name is Keigo Kurusu and I am a diary user as well." He says showing his phone.
He gets in between Yuno and the officer. "What do you want with us?"
Yuno stares surprised that he is protecting her. The man chuckles. "I am just the chief of police looking into a case of a school getting blown up with a high chance of there being more around." He explains. "So I will need you two to come in and explain what happened."
"Only notable thing is that she was a diary user as well." Zora tell him.
"I am sure you know why I can't exactly put that down in the records. So therefore you should come in." Keigo says.
"I guess there is no choice." He turns to Yuno. "You shoulder go back to your place. I can handle this."
"No. You still need to answer my questions, so I will follow you there like it or not." Yuno tells him.
"You two would make a cute couple." The chief says smiling.
Yuno blushes while glaring at the man. Zora deadpans. "If that ever happens then the world will be ending." He retorts getting a glare from Yuno. "Well then let us head over. Best to get it over with quickly."
