[1 MONTH AGO ]
Hino : {Shocked } W-What ?
I ask , as if I didn't hear him the first time , but I knew my ears didn't deceive me ... this guy was asking us to kill each other ...
Soshun : { Shocked } Kill each other ?! You can't possibly be serious ! I don't know where you get off on this but -
Kotomi :{Angry } What !? What do you mean kill each other !? And who's this boss you're talking about ?
Soshun : { Worried } Kotomi , please calm yourself ...
Kotomi : {Angry } Hell no Soshun ! This guy doesn't just walk into our classroom and tell us to kill each other ...
Kotomi took a step towards the stranger , but the stranger quickly pulled out their gun and fired a warning shot near Kotomi's head ...
BANG !!!
Kotomi stumbled back in surprise and fell onto the floor ...
Ryota : {Shocked } Holy shit !
Kiriko :{Worried , Shocked } Kotomi !
Soshun :{ Worried } Are you alright ...?
Soshun and others quickly rush to Kotomi and helped to her feet ...
Kotomi :{Shocked } I-I'm a little shaken up , but I'm fine ...
We all turn back to our host , some with anger in our eyes ...
Sosuke : { Angry } Hey ! What the hell was that for !
Tomohiko :{Angry } What on earth is the meaning of this ? You come into our classroom , tell us to kill each other and threaten us with a gun ... How cowardly ...
Masked stranger : ...
He or she was silent for a moment before speaking ...
Masked stranger : Look ... I don't like this just as much as you guys but ...
He unzipped the duffel bag , he was holding in his hand ...
Masked Stranger : The only way any of you are leaving this building alive is by killing each other , that being said ...
He threw the bag onto the ground in front of us and its contents spilled out as well ...
I couldn't believe what I was seeing ...The contents were weapons .... knives , guns , a chainsaw ...
Aiko :{ Shocked , Scared } Are those really ...
Masked Stranger : Yes, these items are weapons ... weapons you will all use to kill each other ...
Suzuko : {Scared } No !
Suzuko yelled to the stranger , which garnered our attention ...
Suzuko : W-We're friends ! All of us ! And friends don't kill friends !
My fellow classmates agreed with Suzuko's sentiment ...
Aiko :{Smiling } Y-Yeah !
Ryota : Damn straight !
Kotomi :{ Passionate stance } I agree with Suzuko 100 percent ! We are friends ! And last time I checked , friends sure as hell don't kill each other !
Tomohiko : { Arms crossed } Suzuko is right and besides ...
Tomohiko turned to look at the stranger ...
Tomohiko : Even with a handgun , we still greatly outnumber you ...
The masked stranger stayed silent at the threat before speaking ...
Masked stranger : The boss said this might happen so they decided to provide some motives for you all ...
Soshun :{ Confused } Motives ?
Hino :{ Confused } What on earth are you talking about now ?
Masked stranger : Just give me a moment ...
The stranger walked out of the classroom and returned carrying a box containing ... something ...
Karen : What are those ?
Masked stranger : These are your motives ...
The stranger placed the box on a table near to us , I couldn't help but peak inside and saw that there were files inside , each having our name written on them ...
Soshun :{ Confused } What do you mean these are our motives ?
Masked stranger : Fuck me if I know ... but the boss said these are supposed to get you to kill each other ...
Ryota :{Scoff } Seriously ? You honestly think this is going to work on us ?
Ryota insulted the stranger as he walked over to the table the box was on top of and took the file which had his name ...
Ryota : {Annoyed } I mean seriously what the hell is all this -
Ryota stopped talking suddenly and we all saw that he had turned pale as soon as he opened his file and saw the inside ...
Ryota :{ Horrified} W-What the ... W-What the fuck ...
Suzuko :{Worried } R-Ryota , what's wrong ?
Sosuke :{Worried } Dude are you okay ?
Ryota didn't answer us , he simply stood there , looking into his file with a look of horror on his face ...
Then out of nowhere, he shut his file and turned to the stranger with a look of fury ...
Ryota :{Angry } You ...
Soshun :{Worried } Ryota , what's wrong , are you -
Ryota :{Angry } WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THEM , YOU BASTARD !!!
Before we could comprehend what was happening , Ryota threw his file onto the ground which caused what looked to be photo's to spill out and he charged at the masked stranger in fury ...
*SLAM !!!*
Ryota tackled the stranger and forced him to collide with the chalkboard ...
Kotomi :{Shocked } Ryota !
Ryota : { Angry } What did you do to them you son of a bitch !
Ryota grabbed the stranger by their collar and began violently slamming the stranger into the chalkboard ...
There were times where I seriously forgot Ryota was a hell of a lot stronger than he looked ...
Soshun : {Shocked } Somebody help me stop him !
Soshun and Sosuke quickly ran up to Ryota and pulled him of the stranger ...
Ryota began thrashing around , attempting to escape from Soshun and Sosuke's grip ...
Sosuke : Dude ! Calm down !
Soshun : Please Ryota ! Calm down !
Soshun and Sosuke looked like there were struggling a bit , holding Ryota back ...
Ryota :{Angry } Hell no ! This guy has them and I'm not gonna let anything happen to them !
I walk over to where the photo's of Ryota's file had spilled and picked up one of them ...
Hino :{Confused } What are you talking about -
I was cut off when I saw what the photo had depicted ... I was horrified ... the photo showed a man and woman tied to a chair , they were both gagged but they looked to be staring directly into where the camera was shot ... Their eyes were drawn to be crossed off on the photo ...
Hino:{Scared } What the ...
Ryota : Where are they asshole ! Where's my parents !?!
Kiriko:{Shocked } P-P-Parents ...?
Hino :{ Sombre } I believe he's referring to this ...
I held up the photo , for my fellow classmates to see ...
Suzuko:{Hands covering mouth } Oh my god...
Daiki :{ Shocked } My word ...
Shoji : {Shocked } What the hell ...
Kotomi :{Shocked } It has to be fake ... right ?
I inspect the photo for a solid minute ,
Hino : {Sombre } Unlikely ... this looks to real to be staged and there's no signs of editing or photo tampering ...
Karen :{Horrified } Wait a second ... if the photo is true then doesn't that mean ...
Hino:{Shocked } It could be possible that some of our loved are in danger as well ...
Aiko : {Scared } Does that mean ... he has our loved ones too ?
Soshun : Friends , please ! Calm yourselves ! We don't need to give in to this guys demands !
Sosuke : Yeah ! I mean this prick , he's -
Sosuke turned to look at where the stranger had been standing but he was gone ...
Daiki : { Shocked } What the ...
Shoji : { Shocked } Where the hell is he ?
Tomohiko: {Arms crossed } He must have left while we were focused on Ryota ...
Ryota :{Angry } That son of a bitch !
Ryota quickly wrestled his way out Soshun and Sosuke's grip and ran to pile of weapons , he picked up a double barrel shotgun ...
Soshun :{ Shocked } What are you doing with that Ryota ?!
Ryota : { Angry } That son of a bitch knows where my parents are and I'll be damned if I'll let him get away ...
Sosuke took a brave step to Ryota and grabbed the shotgun ...
Sosuke : { Calm } Look man just ease up for a -
Ryota : {Angry } Don't tell me to ease up ! That guy has my family and I'm not letting him get away !
Sosuke :{Angry } Goddamnit man , just give me the damn gun !
Sosuke tried pulling the gun out of Ryota's hands , but the latter was holding onto it with a tight grip ...
Soshun : {Annoyed } Both of you ! Let go of the gun !
Sosuke : Shit , s-sorry !
Sosuke complied immediately with Soshuns request , letting go of the gun ... but by doing so Ryota stumbled back ... and suddenly stabbed in the back with a blade ...
I tried to look away but I couldn't help but stare in shock and horror as blood started to seep out Ryota's mouth and chest and onto the floor ...
Ryota : {Shocked } Gaaaggghhh ... nooo ...
The blade that had stabbed him , pulled out and Ryota fell to the floor , face first ...
We all stared in shock at the perpetrator ... armed with a katana from the bag ...
Soshun :{Shocked } K-Karen ! Oh my god ! Why would you do this !
Karen looked up at us with tears in her eyes ...
Karen :{Sad } I-I'm s-so sorry .... they have my mother ...
She held up a photo for all of us to see , the photo showed a woman tied to a chair , with handwriting that said " Kill your friends if you ever want to see mommy again ! "
Kotomi : {Shocked } K-Karen ...
Karen :{Sad } You all may be my friends ... but I have to do this ...{ Irrational } For my mother !!!
And with tears in her eyes she lifted her sword and attempted to hit Soshun who was closes to her ...
Soshun :{Shocked } Woah !
Soshun barely moved out of the way in time , as Karen's katana got stuck in the desk ...
I could only stare in shock as Karen tried to pull the katana from the desk ...
Sosuke : {Shocked } Oh my ...
Sosuke said before grabbing what looked to be a steel spear from the pile ...
I noticed the others were grabbing the weapons too ...
Soshun :{ Shocked } Guys ! What the hell are you doing !
Taro : {Sad } I-I'm sorry my friends ... but it's you all or Tsubasa and me ...
Taro charged at Sosuke with a cleaver but Sosuke blocked the attack with his spear ...
Sosuke :{Angry } You son of a bitch !
Sosuke angrily kicked Taro in the the knee ...
Taro :Gaaghhh !!!
Sosuke : Kiriko come on let's go !
Sosuke grabbed Kiriko's hand , not waiting for a response as they both ran out of the classroom ...
Tsubasa :{Angry } You bastard ! How dare you hurt my Taro !
Tsubasa quickly helped Taro up as the couple chased Sosuke and Kiriko into the hallways ...
Soshun : Guys wait ! We can still -
Karen : DIE !!!
Karen screamed at Soshun before she swung her blade at him ...
Soshun :Holy fuck !
Soshun managed to dodge the attack but ended up falling near the pile of weapons ...
He took one long look at them ...
Soshun : Goddamnit ...
He grabbed two steel retractable batons as he got to his feet ...
He faced Karen who had an angry look on her face ...
Karen :{Angry } Why ... won't you ... just ... DIE !!!
She raised her katana at Soshun once more , and tried to hit him but this time he was able to block it with his baton ...
He quickly pushed her back which caused her to stumble to the floor , Soshun took this opportunity to run out of the classroom ...
Karen : {Crazed } Come back here !!!
Karen yelled at him before getting up and chasing after him ...
Suzuko :{Scared } I don't want to die !
Suzuko yelled out before running out of the classroom , she looked to have grabbed two kunai's though before leaving ...
Shoji : Hell no ! Come Daiki ! Let's work together ! We can kill more easily as a team !
Daiki : I'm with you Shoji ! No way I'm dying here !
Both of them say to each other before they both ran out of the classroom ...
Kotomi :{Angry } Guys ! Wait ! Goddamnit !
Is this really happening ? I'm not dreaming am I ? No ... this was the reality of the situation ... they were all killing each other ...
I am not dying here ... I am not ...
Do I have to kill my friends to survive ? I ask myself that question somehow hoping my brain would generate a no ... but instead my mind told me yes...
It's killed or be killed right now ... and I am not going to be killed ...
Without thinking I quickly run over to pile of weapons and grab a submachine gun ...
Aiko :{Scared } Hino-kun !
Tomohiko :{Shocked } What are you doing ?!
Kotomi : Hino , don't !
It was too late ... my finger had already pressed the trigger ...
I'm sorry my friends ...
BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!!
I open fire on Kotomi , Tomohiko and Aiko ...
Kotomi quickly turned over one of the table and used it as cover just before one of my bullets hit her ...
Aiko :{Scared } Noooo !!! I don't wanna die !
Aiko began swinging her frying pan around , in an act of fear ...
I point my gun at her just as I begin to fire ...
Tomohiko : AIKO ! WATCH OUT !!!
Tomohiko moved his body in front of Aiko as my bullets were fired into his back ...
CLICK !!! CLICK !!!CLICK !!!
I had no bullets left ...
I look to Tomohiko , whose back was facing me , but in a few short seconds ... he collapsed to the floor with Aiko ...
Oh my god ... I killed them ... I-
Kotomi : Raaarrrggghh !!!
I barely had time to think before Kotomi charged at me with a baseball bat ...
Kotomi : {Angry } You killed them you monster ! Die !!!
She charged at me again , but I moved out of the way quickly enough for her to only end up hitting the window ...
Kotomi :{Angry } Goddamnit !
I didn't have time to think , I look to floor and spot a 1911 pistol ...
Kotomi :{Angry } Die you son of a bitch !!!
She swung her bat at me again , but this time I dived to the floor and grabbed the gun ...
Kotomi charged at me as she raised the bat above her head ...
Kotomi :{Crazed} DIE !!!
And as if time slowed down , I aim the gun at her head and pull the trigger ...
BANG !!!
I close my eyes as I hear the gun fire ...
I open my eyes just in time to see Kotomi fall back on the floor as blood starts to leak out from the hole in her head , as she drops the baseball bat ...
Oh my god ... Kotomi ...
Goddamnit! Pull yourself together ! It's you or them !
I need to get out in the hallways ... That's where all the fighting is at ...
Armed with my pistol , I run out into hallways ... I turn my head just in time to see Taro run over and attempt to hit Sosuke with his cleaver , but he blocked it with his spear once again ... Taro grabbed the spear and they both began struggling over the spear ....
Tsubasa tried to stab Sosuke but it looked like she was in a fighting match with Kiriko ...
Taro :{Angry } Just ... die ! You bastard !
Sosuke : {Angry } Fuck you !!!
Tsubasa's fight wasn't fairing any better ...
Tsubasa :{Angry } Give it up Kiriko !
Kiriko:{Angry } Never !!!
I spot Suzuko down the hall who seemed to be witnessing all this ...
She runs over quickly and tries to get them to stop ...
Suzuko : {Worried } Guys , please stop !
Her pleas fell on deaf ears however ....
Tsubasa managed to get on top of Kiriko and was strangling her ...
Tsubasa :{Crazed } DIE !!!
Suzuko :{ Worried } Guys ! Please just ... STOP IT !!!
Before anyone could stop her , she had stabbed Tsubasa through the back of the neck with one of her kunais ...
Suzuko : {Scared } Oh ... Oh my god ... I'm so sorry !
Suzuko quickly pulled the kunai out , but blood already started to seep out from her neck and mouth ...
Tsubasa : Gaaaggghhhh ... T-Taro ....
Tsubasa looked to Taro for a moment and smiled ...
Tsubasa : Taro ... I love you ...
Those were her final words before she collapsed on top of Kiriko ,who quickly got Tsubasa off her ...
Taro stared wide eyed as all this went down ...
Taro :{Shocked } Tsubasa ! NO !!!
Sosuke took this opportunity to push Taro back , which caused him to fall on his back ....
Sosuke :{Angry } DIE !!!
Sosuke raised the spear above his head and tried to ram it into Taro's chest but Taro quickly moved out of the way and got to his feet and ran ...
Sosuke turned to Kiriko with worry in his eyes ...
Sosuke :{Worried } Kiriko ! You alright ?!
Kiriko :{Shocked } I'm a little shaken up , but I'm -
BANG !!!
For a second there , I think my hand moved faster than my brain , because before I could properly think it out ... I shot Kiriko in the head ...
Suzuko : {Shocked } Oh my god ... Kiriko !!!
Sosuke :{Shocked , Horrified } NOOOOOOOO!!!!
They both turn to me ... but Sosuke had a murderous look in his eye ...
Sosuke :{Angry } Y-You !!!
Sosuke :{Angry } You bastard ! I'll kill you ! I'll -
BANG !!!
I cut him of as I raised my gun again and shot him in the head ...
He fell back on the floor as blood started to spill out his wound ...
I couldn't believe what I had just done ... I had killed two of my classmates ... no ... friends ... How could I do this ...? No .... It's you or them ... And I'm pretty sure you don't want to be the former ... right ...?
A voice in my head told me ...
It was right ... It's them or me ...
Suzuko : {Hands covering mouth } Oh ... Oh my god ... Sosuke ... Kiriko ....
Suzuko's voice snapped me out of my thoughts as I turn to her with a crazed look on my face ...
Hino :{Crazed } Suzuko ....
The crazy way I said her name got her to look at me with a terrified look ...
Suzuko : {Scared } Hino please ... calm down ... put the gun down ...
Suzuko quickly placed her kunai's down as an act of reassurance ... a stupid move if I had ever seen one ...
Hino :{ Crazed } Hehehehehehehe ! Sorry Suzuko ... I think it's already past that point ...
At that moment Suzuko quickly grabbed the spear Sosuke was using and threw it at me ...
I quickly jump out of the way just before the spear can hit me , it ended up being lodged in one of the pillar ...
Suzuko then ran past me , but just before she could make it far , I got up and shot her in the left leg ....
Suzuko : Gaaaggghhh !!!
Suzuko screamed out in pain before she quickly ran back inside the classroom ...
She trapped now ...
I couldn't help but smile insanely ...
I walk calmly to the classroom with a crazed look on my face ...
The second I entered though I was met with a surprise ...
Suzuko tried to attack with a taser , which luckily for me ... I was able to move to the side and grab her hand ...
Hino : {Angry } Give me that !
I wrestled the taser out of her hands and threw it out the window ...
Now she was defenseless ...
Hino : {Crazed } Hehehehehehehe!!! Guess this is it for you Suzuko ...
Suzuko backed away with a look of terror and fear on her face ...
Suzuko : {Horrified } H-Hino ... please don't ... I ... AAHH !!
Suzuko slipped on some of the blood that came from Kotomi and fell on her back , she was only able to scoot away only a few centimeters before I was standing directly in front of her ...
It was almost kinda fun seeing her like this ...
Suzuko : {Horrified , Tearing up } Please don't kill me ! I'm begging you !
This is wrong ...
A voice in my head told me but I was trying to ignore it ...
I raise my gun and point it at her head ...
Suzuko :{Horrified } P-Please d-don't ....
She shut her eyes waiting for me to pull the trigger ...
You know you don't want to do this ... The voice told me again ...
I don't have much of a choice honestly ...
You always have a choice ... The voice countered ....
I stare at Suzuko for a solid minute , blood stained her clothing , so did mine , I touch my face and I could feel the blood ... the blood of my friends ... the people I killed ...
All these feelings made my grip on the gun shake uncontrollably ...
KILL ...KILL ...KILL ... KILL!!!
That was the only thought that went through my head as I tried my damn best to ease myself ...
It was then looking at Suzuko ... remembering all of my friends who I had killed ... I realized something ....
I couldn't do it ...
Hino :{Hand covering mouth } Oh my god ... What have I done ?
I back away until my back hit the wall and I let myself fall to the floor ...
I simply sat there for a solid 3 minutes as I recalled everything I had done ....
Kotomi ... Sosuke ... Aiko ... Tomohiko ... Kiriko ... All the friends I have killed ...
I steeled myself to stop any tears reaching my eyes ...
Now was hardly the time to cry ... I had to make things right ...
Getting myself together , I get up and walk to Suzuko and offered her a hand up ...
Hino : Suzuko ... look at me ...
Suzuko still had her eyes shut ... still waiting for me to deliver the bullet ... but slowly ... very slowly ... she opened her eyes and looked at me , she looked shocked to see me offering her a hand ...
Suzuko :{Shocked } W-What ? B-But I thought y-you were going to -
Hino :{Sombre } Not anymore ... Now come on ...
Suzuko grabbed my hand as I pull her up ...
Suzuko : AAAHH !!
She clutched her leg ... the place I shot her ...
Hino : Here , sit down ...
I set her down gently on one of the chairs ...
I inspect the wound ...
Hino : It's nothing too bad , the bullet went straight through so that's good news ...
Suzuko :{Clutching leg } W-What a-about the others ?
Hino : They're most likely still fighting in the hallways ...
Suzuko : We have to stop them before they kill each other !
Suzuko was right ... I can't let anyone else die ...
Hino : You're right ... we need to stop them ... I'll -
???: {Sad } *Crying * W-why ? * Cries *
Hino : Hang on ... you hear that ?
Suzuko : Yeah , I think its coming from Tomohiko ...
Impossible I killed him .... unless ...
Hino :Shit ! Suzuko ! Aiko's still alive ! She trapped underneath Tomohiko !
Suzuko : T-Then we gotta help her !
With me , helping Suzuko walk over to Tomohiko's body we carefully lift him off of Aiko , and even though Suzuko was trying her best not to nauseate all over Tomohiko's corpse because of the smell ...
Suzuko :{ Worried } Aiko are you -
Aiko wasn't listening to her , instead she immediately grabbed Tomohiko's body and began shaking it as if trying to wake him up ...
Aiko:{Crying } Tomohiko ! Wake up ! Please !
Aiko burst into more tears as she cried into Tomohiko's chest ...
She turned to me and I felt myself freeze underneath the gaze of her teary eyes ...
Aiko :{Crying } W-W-Why Hino -kun ! Why did you do this !!!
She turned back to Tomohiko as she began crying more and more , with Suzuko gently patting her on her shoulder ...
Suzuko : Aiko ... I'm so sorry ...
Aiko : {Crying } Why ! Why did this have to happen !?!? WHY !??!
I could only stare helplessly at the pain I had caused Aiko ... the great sense of guilt filled my heart ...
Karen :{In the hallways } Get of me asshole !
Soshun :{ In the hallways } Don't make me do this !
Karen and Soshun screams from the hallway , meant that things weren't going too well ...
Hino : Shit ... I gotta get out there and help them ...
I turn to Suzuko for a moment ...
Hino : Suzuko stay here with Aiko , I'm gonna go help the others calm down ...
Suzuko : Alright ... be safe ...
I heard Suzuko say to me before I ran out of the classroom with my 1911 pistol ....
Running down the hallways I spot a rather ... gruesome sight ...
I saw Daiki, Shoji and Taro all dead ...
Daiki and Shoji both were bleeding from the heads while Taro had several stab wounds on his back ...
Karen : {Angry } Stay still ! Goddamnit !
I follow the sound of fighting and screaming , I round a corner to see Soshun barely avoiding getting hit by Karen's katana ...
Soshun quickly noticed my presence and asked for my help ...
Soshun : Hino ! Help me !
Karen quickly looked at me with a crazed look on her face ...
Karen : {Angry } Try it and I'll make your death slow and painful Hino !
Karen swung her katana at Soshun but he quickly ducked and the blade ended up getting stuck in a pillar ...
Soshun : Sorry Karen ... but this ends NOW !!!
Soshun quickly grabbed her wrists and Karen tried desperately to escape from his grip ...
Karen :{Irrational , Tears in her eyes } Let go of me ! I have to save my mother ! I have to ! I h-have to ...
Hino : { Angry } Okay , that's enough !
My sudden rise in voice caused both of them to look at me ...
Hino : Karen I can't possibly understand the relationship you have with your mother ... the care you both feel for each other ... the love ... I have no idea how that could possibly feel like for you ...
Hino : { Angry } But I do know one thing ... your mother sure as hell wouldn't want you to become a murderer !
Hino : { Angry } Look around ! Look at the bodies of your fallen friends ! You honestly think your mother would want you to do this ?!?! Even if it was to save her life !
Hino :{Angry , Tears in eyes } How ... How stupid can you be ?!?!
Karen was silent for a moment ... just staring at me with shock written all over her face .... a whole minute passed before she finally comprehended what I had said ...
At that moment , I think Karen had finally came to her senses ...She looked at the bodies of our friends with a horrified look ...
Soshun let go of her ,as she looked at her hands and saw they were stained with blood ...
Karen : {Horrified } W-W-What h-have I d-done ...
She fell to her knees and cried her eyes out ... me and Soshun watched the whole way as she spoke through her sobs ...
Karen :{Sad } *Cries * W-what have I done !? *Cries *
Me and Soshun looked at each other ...
Neither of us had to say anything ....
The Student Council Killing Game ... was over ....
