Fool's Choice | Alice In Borderland | Chishiya x Oc x Niragi

4♦️

Chishiya's fingers trailed down Akane's
exposed skin, their breaths slow and heavy. The excitement was building up as his fingers reached just above her waistline. The alcohol heavily influenced their minds, temporarily losing focus of their goals. It wasn't bad to have a little fun right?

Just then, a round of knocks interrupted their session. They both groaned and mentally cussed whoever is outside the door. Chishiya stood up and opened the door, it was a guy Akane had never seen before. The guy whispered something to Chishiya before he left.

Chishiya closed the door and returned to the bed where Akane was sitting up. He had a pissed off look that made him look hotter, if that made any sense.

"Everyone is called out to participate in the games tonight," Chishiya broke the silence.

Akane shrugged and got up, she didn't mind playing games. It was what she has to do to survive anyways. More days in her visa meant more days to live, she can't complain about that.

"Well, I guess I'll leave now. Let's split up. I hope you don't die." Akane winked at him before walking out the door. Chishiya chuckled to himself. That girl was definitely something.

On her way out, she saw the militant guy with piercings. He had an arm around two girls while holding a gun in his hand. Akane clicked her tongue. This guy seemed to completely ignore her presence, it was like she was invisible to him.

Akane was used to attention, she loved it. Of course, she was not really the type to do anything for it. It just comes naturally to her. But this one guy is different. He makes her wonder if she wasn't attractive enough for him.

Heck, she knew she's way hotter than the girls around him. But why?

Glaring, she shook her head and looked the other way. She was about to participate in a game so she wanted to clear her head. This is gonna be her 3rd game and she was pumped. Hopefully, she gets an exciting game.

Akane entered her assigned car, in awe of the amount of cars working in The Beach. There were definitely a lot. In no time, they were already at the game arena. She didn't know anyone in there, to her relief. It would be best since there might be only one survivor and of course that would have to be her.

She picked up a phone and got her ID.

"Registration will be closed in a minute. Amount of participants is currently 10."

Akane scanned the place, she looked at everyone else and observed each of them. Some look new while others looked used to it. A minute already passed, no one else arrived at the arena.

"It's now time for the Game. The game you will be participating in this time is Poison."

Entry limit: None

The game instantly perked her up. A high level game? Poison? What are the odds?

She smirked to herself. All that study about medicine and poision seems to be of use here.

There were a lot of people cussing around her but she ignored them. Some guys and girls her age were whimpering. Akane glanced at them and scoffed to herself. They wouldn't last long in this world, they should just die here.

I walked over to a door and went inside. The door immediately locked itself and I could hear the others entering their rooms as well.

Akane doubted anyone out there could still be alive by the time she finished.

In the middle of the room was four glass vials. There was also a blank sheet of paper and a pen.

At the side, there was a whole wall full of vials. She immediately walked up to the table and started examining the vials. Akane didn't touch any of them as the instructions said that the vials on the table were her only concern.

She took a whiff off the smell of the first vial and pondered over the smell and tried hard to remember the names of the ingredients. There were a lot for just one vial.

Akane quickly wrote them down. She was only writing on a piece of paper but she could feel the thrill of actually putting her interests to use.

In about 15 minutes she had already finished listing each ingredient there is in every single vial. But she was confused why she hasn't cleared the game yet. She started to think at the game instructions. To her surprise, blood started dripping from her mouth. She knew she didn't drink a drop of poison but why on earth is she poisoned?

Akane smacked herself in the face. The instructions said there were five types of poison but there were only four on the table. The blood in her mouth is an evidence that the fifth poison must be a combination of two poisons. She took a sniff from the vials again and realized that the last two vials were highly toxic together. When their fumes mix together, it creates another deadly poison.

Another thing was that she forgot the instructions said they had to create their own antidote. It was definitely for this.

She wasted no time and listed the ingredients for the 5th poison before going to the wall. She only had 40 minutes left now.

Akane tried to remember what type of poison this was and quickly made a mental note of the ingredients she needs. She grabbed a few bottles off the shelves and grabbed a bigger empty vial and put it all on the desk.

She could feel her chest starting to hurt more but she continued on, mixing and pouring the right vials into the bigger one. Although she has studied this, she was not that confident. She only read it, not that she actually got to do it before.

"Fuck..." She mumbled, pressing her palm to her chest. It was hurting quite a lot now, causing her to pause for a moment.

She was nearly done, she added the last bottle in and drank all of the liquid in the bigger vial.

It was like a breath of sunshine. She successfully made the antidote.

"Game cleared. Congratulations."

She looked at her phone as the door opened. Akane wiped the blood on her lips and got out of the room. As expected, no one else got out of theirs. It was a difficult game, as expected of a 10♦️.

There on the table at the entrance laid a card. Akane picked it up and went outside of the place. Luckily, the keys to the car was there or she'd have to walk all the way back.

On her way, a lot of cars zoomed past her. She scoffed. A lot of people seemed to survive. Lucky.

When she arrived, she saw the militant guy with the gun at the entrance. He looked like he was searching for someone.

His eyes found hers and only a second passed, he turned around and walked inside. Akane rolled her eyes. She didn't know what to think of his actions.

Her eyes scanned around the place as she stepped inside, hoping to find a certain blond. It was not much of a surprise when he did show up in front of her.

However, his action shocked her. She took a step back as Chishiya leaned in and took her lips in his. She didn't know what to do. They were in the middle of the lobby after all. Akane definitely did not expect a guy like Chishiya to do something like this, in public on top of that!
