Minami and Higashikata... my heart broke a bit. Aoi, too. I am hoping people reading actually know who these characters are. They didn't get much screen/page time. ):


Yukimura realized that when forced into it, killing someone wasn't really as hard as he'd originally thought. Yes, he'd felt bad about killing Hiyoshi, but what if he'd hesitated? Their positions could have easily been switched, and it could be him laying dead in a forest, instead of the Hyotei regular.

He'd decided to stay behind the school, but definitely away from where he'd been shortly before. He hadn't seen anyone else enter from his spot up in the trees, but that didn't mean someone couldn't have walked in through the other side. Taking a second to reload his crossbow, Yukimura tried to decide what his next move would be. He'd really wished Yanagi had waited around for him, but the other Rikkai player had probably calculated the outcome of standing outside the doors while others left, and had set off alone.

Alone.

Yukimura figured that this was possibly how he'd spend the rest of his now very short time left, but noted that it wasn't all bad. The alternatives to being alone were either killing or being killed, and neither appealed to Rikkai's captain.

With his crossbow finally reloaded, Yukimura took a quick glance around to make sure there was nobody in sight before continuing on.

Not only did he have a longer trip than most others here, the weather wasn't even nice. Sure, it was sunny out, but it didn't stop the wind or the cold. He figured it didn't matter, now that he'd been told he was basically here to die, but still. Some warmth would have been nice. He should have just stayed in Okinawa.

Kai was currently sitting in a small alcove in the bottom of a cliff, having made his way over to the right side of the allowed zone, where the beach was. He figured if he was going to die, it may as well be somewhere he could slightly enjoy things beforehand.

Looking over the map for the last half hour, Kai decided staying in his current position was his best option. The forest in the middle was likely occupied with more than enough people, and the apartments and shops had been out right from the start. They were just too obvious. There was a rather large hill about a 20 minute walk from where Kai was currently situated, but he figured climbing it would be a statement equivalent to "Hi, see me here? Come shoot me, I'd love to die."

Looking out over the water, Kai had nothing to do but sit and think about what was going on. Kill someone? Sure, Higa didn't have the best reputation, but it barely amounted to anything that severe. He supposed maybe, if someone came at him first, he could do it. But that would just be self defense, right? The thought that people he'd played against - people he'd played WITH - could go and willingly kill someone else... Kai didn't like it. Didn't believe it.

Sighing, he pulled the rice crackers out of his bag and leaned against the cool rocks. If he was going to die, at least he wouldn't die hungry.

Momo had thought the entire thing was a joke. Even when Uchimura had been shot, after a second or two, Momo was sure it was all just a big act and that the Fudomine player would get up and they would get to the real point of the camp.

That hadn't happened, and now he was facing a sea of blue, with a map he could care less about and a backpack he would really rather not have. Looking at the map, Momo realized he was quite far from where he'd originally started, and was probably now in the area of C7 Looking down, he could see the beach from the top of the cliff. Slightly windy out, small waves were crashing against the rocks that bordered the cliff and splashing along the sand.

Not seeing anything beyond the vast expanse of water, Momo had to wonder just where exactly they were. They hadn't been told, from what he could remember, though he assumed the information wouldn't help him now anyway.

Kamio had held some slight hope that maybe his team would join up and make it through this together. This hope had shattered when Uchimura had been shot, every member of Fudomine looking at each other in horror.

Kamio had been third on his team to leave, and while some part of him still hoped that Shinji and Ishida would be waiting for him, when he left the building the area surrounding it was deserted.

Not wanting to wait out front to look at his map, Kamio had taken off running. He supposed speed was a good asset to have in this game, as he would be able to outrun nearly anyone that he came in contact with. His weapon being nothing more than a lighter, running was his best option.

He'd run to the left side of the forest - not through it, though. He'd gone around in order to avoid whoever may be inside, hiding in trees or bushes. While somewhat out in the open, he did have the forest to fall back on as a hiding spot should anyone head towards him. From where he was, Kamio could hear water hitting rocks, and assumed that heading a little more to the right would lead him to the beach. Pulling the backpack a bit higher up, and with his lighter in hand, Kamio set off towards the cliffs that overlooked the water below.
