Battle Royale

Ten Down

Saga and I moved along quietly, careful of any traps and made sure to avoid everyone. Somehow we were able to go around a few people, some scared, some planning on how they would kill anyone in their path. Some part of me was happy that I was able to meet up with Saga first and able to be with him. Our feet moved along the cool forest floor and moved over roots and fallen logs. We tried our best not to leave any trace so we couldn't be followed, but some areas were muddy.

Thump.

Saga brought arms up with his bow and an arrow ready as I noticed a figure to our side doing the same. Surprise was on me when I noticed the person with a serious, feral look on his face. Brown eyes were fierce, but he only shifted sideways with a cautious movement.

"Keep moving." I told my friend as I noticed the person and it shocked me somewhat since he looked so different than usual. We shifted the opposite away from the male who had dry mud and leaves on him, as if it was camouflage. When he reached a tree, the bow found his body and he climbed the trunk with such ease it had me stare for a moment.

"Who was that?"

"If I remember correctly, Monkey Luffy."

"Wait, the happy, grinning guy who you swear up and down was hitting on you." This red flushed my face as I pushed my friend over in embarrassment.

"I didn't say that!" I hissed at him.

"Oh, right, you like when he would hang onto you, I forgot." He teased with a shrug and just for a moment, everything felt normal.

"Did you hear that?!" The new voice had us shift to a tree trunk, back to back to watch each side.

"You are hearing things Kaya."

"It's scary out here, Nami!"

"I-I'm sure it was just a bird." The voice had me glance to Saga and he returned it with a nod. The voice belonged to no one other than Kohza's heart throb.

"That's not helpful, Vivi!"

"Will you two shut up?! If we are too loud then someone is going to find us!" The hiss left Nami and I let my ready blade lower away.

They weren't a threat to us, but once glancing at Saga, we were having a slight debate with our eyes and hands. We couldn't decide if we should ask the girls to come with us, or just go around and find Kohza. I mean, no doubt Kohza made it clear that he liked Vivi and even had courage to begin talking with her to be friends, but he was having a hard time since she was a cheerleader and he was in Kendo. Kendo is not the most popular sport that has all the cheerleaders running to you, but I could tell that Vivi liked him anyways. Though, she never implied it since her cheer captain forbid it and Vivi always listened to her captain, Nami.

"Look what I found!" The new voice had the girls squeaking in surprise and fear before I heard the cackle.

"Oi, dickhead, there are three of us and only one of you!" The noise of knives clinking together was sounding out like wind chimes. A part of me knew not too, but I leaned a bit over to see the guy with throw knives dangling on each finger on his left hand. Something grabbed me and I was pulled back, Saga gave me a look of how stupid that was, but nothing else as we weren't noticed.

"I wasn't planning to kill you all."

"Don't even try to play that card, we all know the rules just as much as you!" Nami was the one arguing back as I figured the other two girls backed off slightly behind her.

"Yet, here you are… Three of you joined together… One is going to have to die anyways, let me help." The last part was like venom and I heard a gag noise before a screech.

"Kaya!" The two shouted as I soon covered my mouth with the temptation to gag out, but that would make noises. A hand grabbed my arm and I gazed to see Saga have his eyes squeezed shut and teeth gritted. We both wanted to help, but we both knew that the guy was right… Only two of us would survive this whole ordeal. Though we also knew if Vivi were to die, Kohza would hate us for eternity for not saving her, but what could we do?

"You son'uva bitch!" Nami screeched and we both flinched hearing the gun go off and the sound of a yelp. A thud was made with clattering and then gasps of pain followed as I soon heard the frantic movement. "Vivi! Are you okay?!"

"Yeah, it just got my shoulder." Saga and I stayed in our spot with deep breaths as we listened closely before we heard it.

"Two bitches to be killed!" The sound of an automatic rifle went off and I noticed how some bullets dug into the tree we were hiding behind and wiz past. Wide silver eyes met mine as all we could do was hear the girls scream before it became silent. I shut my eyes with my teeth clamping together and I let my hand grip my friend's arm as well. The laugh came out as I heard feet shift and stuff rummaging around, like he was ransacking them. "Fake as a dinosaur bone!" It made me think he was violating them and I felt anger towards him before nudging my friend with a nod and releasing him. He released me and grasped his bow with an arrow and I moved my crossbow.

We shifted quietly around the tree to see the male student pulling at the girls' shirt and I heard the bow next to me creak lightly. The sound of the arrow being released resounded and I soon let my bolt go out to hit him in the neck. We both didn't hit vitals, but it got his attention and we both shifted to different trees as I was going around one side and Saga on the other. Bullets whizzed through the air where we were and I had another bolt ready. I shot it at his head and got him. Another arrow struck him through his throat with great accuracy and knew hunting all those years paid off.

The lug fell to the ground with a loud thud and we soon moved slowly to regroup by the guy with my sword ready to stab him in the chest. Before I could though to pronounce him dead since he was gagging on the ground, this pop noise got my attention and the red flare had me soon looking over to Saga. He just stared to me as I soon drove my sword into the groaning man's chest.

"We need to find Kohza, and fast." A nod left me as I pulled my sword out and wiped the blade along the grass before sheathing it.

We maneuvered quickly to get some extra supplies that included the pistol Nami had. The automatic rifle was left alone, but then we decided to dismantle it and throw the pieces in different directions. The last thing we needed was to have another person carry this around. We deemed the pistol was enough since we actually didn't want a noisy weapon. It was bad enough that we probably attracted some attention from other people bent on killing everyone to survive.

After finishing up, we began moving in the direction Saga pointed to and just moving away from the smell of blood made me feel lighter. I tried to forget their bodies riddled with holes from bullets and Kaya's throat stuck with a throw knife in it. I assumed she wasn't fully dead until that flare went off because it would have gone off when Nami and Vivi had been killed. Kaya must have bled out fully after we injured the crazed guy, that or the flares are a bit delayed to make sure the person is dead. Either way, it was kind of unnerving to know that they knew when you were killed.

Then it finally occurred to me…

Ten more students since the first kill has happened are down and they all occurred whilst Saga and I have been around. Was this island bigger than I thought? Or have people been able to stay away alive for just the first day. It didn't really matter though, I was still alive and by the looks of the sky, I will have survived my first day on this island.

Hopefully I will survive to see my future.
