(A/N: Bad chapter is bad. It's really repetitive. I'm just not feeling it in this one. I only had fun at the end...)
I watched my beloved Yoshii walk through the doorway fearlessly. He's not afraid at the possibility of being trapped there forever, but it's probably because it never occurred to him. I pushed the button to start and saw the door behind him shut. Before it was fully closed, I took one last glance at Yoshii's face. He truly was a beautiful sight to see, especially right now. I put the given earpiece from one of the chaperones handling the game in my ear. I assume Yoshii is given one once he's in.
The monitor infront of me flashed on. There I saw a map of the maze. From what I can tell, the colors of the wall correspond with the color of the button. The button would open/close whatever color wall the button was. The white walls had no door. The marking of where Yoshii was was a black triangle. I think the point shows where he's facing. However, there was something odd. The end wasn't near the beginning.
"Hey, can you hear me?" I heard from the earpiece. The voice was slightly distorted, but I could recognize it as Yoshii. "Which way do I go?"
"Oh, um, you have to go left first." I pushed the orange button firmly. I saw his marking turn and go through the way that I opened. "Okay, you'll have to go straight now." I pushed the blue one and watched him go through. The process was mostly the same sort of thing until he reached the end of the maze.
"Kubo, I'm at a checkpoint and I can barely see where the walls are!" Instantly, the monitor flashes to another map. It still has the colored walls, but the white walls were replaced with black ones. "There's no lights in here! I don't know where the hell I am!"
"Okay, try to calm down. I'm opening the door to your right." I pounded the red button and the door opened. I heard a metalic clang and a cry from the other end. "Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah, just slightly startled by the door swinging open. It's just kinda unerving to hear it in a place this dark."
"S-sorry..."
After it was completed, the monitor flashed up one more map.
"Okay, final checkpoint. After this last one, we'll win!" Hearing Yoshii's high pitched and adorable voice made me feel my chest grow warm and tingly, but one look at the map made my heart sink. There were many white wall. Not only that, bright colors filled the screen, and there was a lot. By the time we're done, I might go colorblind. There were too many walls to comprehend what way to take. Some parts had a box of the same color. "Okay, open the door!" In front of Yoshii was a pirple wall, so I eagerly pushed the purple button.
However, a skull symbol appeared on the map and an arrow ponting to it said "Don't let it reach yout partner or it's game over." What did it mean by 'Game Over'?! It spawned in a room isolated by three white walls and one purple wall. The purple wall opended and both Yoshii and whatever the skull meant was released into the maze.
"Um, I hear something whispering and I have no idea where it's coming from. Kubo, please tell me it's from you." He whimpered.
"Y-Yoshii, something in there has been released. I don't know what it is, but it is probably dangerous."
"What do you mean you released something?!" I yelled into my mic. I don't know what he's talking about, but it's freaking me out.
As I was continuing to obey the directions told, then I saw what Kubo released.
"Get away from it!" was what I heard before I could make out what was after me.
"Akihisa, it's me, Himeji! I made snacks for you!"
...
I ran as fast as my tired legs could take. I'm not going to die today. I'm not going to die today. I don't want to die yet! I dashed through every open door while not fully aware of what Kubo had to say.
"Don't go so fast! Listen to me! Hold still! I need to plan which way to go next!" Kubo shouted from the other end, but I simply couldn't. It's Himeji's cooking. What is scarier than instant death?
I ran aimlessly untill I actually reached the end. It took longer than expected, but it IS my fault for making it harder on myself. I could've did whatever Kubo said, but the good thing is that I made it under fifteen minutes. It's not the best score, but at least we got 130 tickets out of it which means I can get all the plastic lizards I want (insert yay of sarcasm here). Before I collapsed from the lack of breath, Kubo caught me and helped me up.
"From how you reacted, I can only imagine how traumatizing that was for you. What was chasing after you?" Kubo asked.
"Let's just say it was a matter of life or death..."
"Are you saying you could've died?!"
"We established this; death and pain is a normal and daily occurrence in my life."
