Chapter 2
Rrrrrring!
"Class dismissed." the teacher announces, leaving the room.
"Hey! Shu!" I yell, trying to catch up with him. I need to know what happened. Where on earth did that fucker go during that time?
"Saul?"
"Come over here!" I drag Shu outside. No one's here- perfect. "Where the fuck where you?"
"What do you mean? I was just sick for a while, so-"
"Cut the crap. You were in the sewer system while you were carrying that robot thing right?!" I explode.
"You're crazy dude... couple loose screws?" Shu tries to avoid the question.
"Don't lie directly in my face. You were in the sewers going somewhere outside of the zone. I couldn't track you after that, so I'm wondering where you went. Just give me an answer pal." I say, calming myself. Anger is not the key here.
"I'm telling you-"
"There's nothing." Inori interrupts Shu.
"Wha- Inori? You're the new girl, right? Uh, hi! Um... Shu, you with her or something?" I stutter.
"Yeah, I know her a little..." Shu is just as awkward as I am right now.
"Let's go, Shu." Inori continues indifferently. They walk away, Inori whispering something to Shu.
The guy's hiding something, and I'll be the one to find it.
...
Day 4:
Still in the bunker. Trying to figure out what Inori and Shu are up to- I've figured out they live in the same place. Shu's place, to be exact. His mom is there too, but she seems fine with Inori. God bless GHQ cameras. I haven't gotten any leads until this; I managed to pick up a phone call. I don't remember everything exactly, but it was along the lines of getting a "void" and something about Yahiro- I think he's friends with Shu. Is he connected to Shu's dissappearance? I heard sugar in there, but I don't think it means anything. Well, the location was in the gym seats, which is where I'm heading. I'm taking my knife and my mini (computer). I'll have to try and sneak in there somehow- the GHQ cameras inside the school don't have infared, so I won't be able to use those. Maybe I could bring a mic and record what they're saying...
...
'Easy does it...' I open the door to the auditorium as quietly as humanly possible. Bingo. I see a flash of pink hair.
'SHIT!' I nearly gave away my position. I move towards the opposite end, praying that they're not there. I haven't been able to scout the area beforehand. I look around. Yep, Inori's definitely there... I think that's Shu... and there's Yahiro. They're talking, but damn, the mic won't pick it up from here. Good thing I have these binoculars.
'WHAT THE HELL.' Shu digs into Yahiro's chest and removes a large crystal, that changes into a shear.
'I'm leaving.' was my immediate thought, but I'm too curious for that. I try and move somewhat closer. Shu's toying with the scissors- what does that thing do? I have to go. They're moving my direction.
I leave the building, and then I run towards Shu's place. If I can intervene, maybe I'll be able to ask him what that shit's about.
...
It's been 2 hours, and they still aren't home. What's the holdup?
"So, Inori. Why are you staying with me? Don't the Undertakers have a separate place for sleeping? Barracks?" Shu asks.
"They do. I'm here to make sure you don't get into any trouble." Inori replies.
"And to make me do missions?"
"And to make you do missions." Inori confirms. It's time.
"Hey!" I walk right in between them. "So," I reach into my pocket, readying my weapon. I grab his shoulder, slam him into the wall and make his throat feel cold steel. "what was that about?"
"What are you talking about? I just came home late because I was... watching a movie! Isn't that right Inori?"
"..." she stays silent.
"You better cough up a decent explanation or else-"
I feel a sharp burst of pain. First in my neck, then in my head. My body starts to numb, and I start to black out. Dammit, I didn't expect the girl to do anything.
"Shu, are you alright?"
That's the last thing I hear before it all goes dark.
