The bag smelled like sweat and blood as you turned your head helplessly. Your arms ached as they were tied behind you.
"Oh she looks pretty." You heard as footsteps echoed around you. You wished you convinced Usagi to let you join her game. "Okay. Let her go."
You could finally see as someone snatched the bag off of your head.
"Where am I?" You looked around, the bright lights becoming less blurred as you refocused your eyes.
"I like to call it the Beach." You craned your neck as you tried to relieve the pain. "Congratulations, you're one of our early members." The man smiled as he tucked his sunglasses in his robe pocket.
"Let me go. Please." You panted as you twisted your wrists against the rope.
"But you don't even know what we offer here. Hot meals whenever you want them, all the alcohol you could think of, men... you know if that's what you're into." He chuckled.
"I think Niragi will like her." He whispered to another woman, standing left, her hair cut in a bob.
"He likes every woman you pick up Hatter."
"Let's see about this one. Aguni, would you? While I explain the rules to our new player."
"What rules?"
"Number one, you're free to do anything you feel like as long as I get your cards when you finish games. Number Two, we all wear bathing suits."
"For what?"
"Can't hide anything in them. Number three-"
"No. Wait. Let me guess. You kill anyone who steps out of line?"
He smiled as he motioned for someone to cut your hands free. "Smart one. And yes. Basically."
Your rubbed your wrists as the doors open again.
"You wanted to see me?" You turn your head at the voice and there he was, a rifle on his shoulder and his hair pulled back.
"Look! We got you a new one!"
"I told you, I don't want-" He looked you over, lost for words really.
"Well?" Hatter urged him.
"I want her." He says. His expression stone cold as he grabs your bruising wrist.
"Wait!" Hatter stops him. "We couldn't find your cards." He holds his hand out as you sigh. "Hand them over."
You pull out of Niragi's grip, pulling the cards out of your sports bra.
"Here." You handed him the stack.
"Beautiful." He looked them over. "We've got four new ones!" He shouted happily.
"New ones?"
"New cards. Collect all the cards, get out of this world. Welcome to The Beach....I'm sorry I didn't catch your name."
"It's Y/N." You said as Niragi tugged on your arm.
~~~~~
"Niragi quit pulling on me and tell me what the fuck is going on!!" You snatched your arm away from him, pushing his body back.
He looked around the hallway as he took a deep breath.
"Keep it down. I have a reputation here. Just shut up until we get to my room."
He pulled you through the hallway and down some steps before he got to his room. He pushed you inside, locking the door back as you sat on his bed.
"Why are you here?" He tossed the gun on the floor as he knelt in front of you.
"Why are you? It's been almost four months Niragi."
"I'm so sorry princess. I didn't mean to leave you."
"We were supposed to- I can't even-" You tried to hold the tears back but just seeing him alive was enough to do it for you.
"I missed you." You smile, tackling him on the ground.
"I missed you too."
~~~~~
"How many?" He just shrugged as he rinsed the rag off.
"Militants are like his clean up crew. You promise me you won't do anything he says without checking with me?"
You nodded as he cleaned your face off.
"What about what you said in the hall? Your reputation?"
"I don't want to talk about all that right now. You gotta be tired."
"I am."
You wrapped your arms around his neck and smirked.
"But it's been four months."
"Tomorrow."
"Right now." You pulled on his shirt buttons as he melted against your hands.
"Y/N, if we start now, you won't be able to do a fucking thing tomorrow."
"I'm not hearing a no."
"No. Go to sleep."
