I looked at Hana and said sure without thinking about it. She crawled into my bed and i began to close my eyes. That's when it hit me. I was in a bed with Hana, my crush, just the two of us. I began to freak out in my head. I somehow managed to drift into unconsciousness though. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. My body felt heavy and warm. Sure enough I wasn't ill, because Hana had her arms around me. I began to panic of course. Slowly but surely, moving my body out of her arms and grasp ahe woke up almost immediately. We locked eyes with each other and i could see she was confused. Hana looked down at her arms and freaked out. "Sorry sorry, im really sorry Joshu.." Kentoreru rushed into my room and saw the scene. "And what in the hell is going on in here?!". Hana began to plead and apologize as Ran and Mashu stepped in. "Wait what happened" "Nothing, im going downstairs to eat breakfast". Everyone left the room and went downstairs besides me and Hana. We laughed at each other but it was more of an awkward one. Coming downstairs now, I heard sizzling and my friends talking "Woah Mashu!" and "I didn't know you could cook!". Me and Hana turn to see Mashu frying eggs, bacon, and pancakes. Ran and Kentoreru said at the same time "Its like an American dish!". Mashu  grabbed five plates from the cabinets and layed them out on the dining room table. "Alright come eat." I walked over and took a seat, did my grace and began to stuff my face. Kentoreru fixed his glasses so i knew he was about to discuss the plans for today. "Alright, we need to find the twenty-four hour cycle power-up." "After that let's head to school." "Yeah" Ran agreed. We all finished our breakfast and began our search. I walked into the furnace room to find a purple and gold sheathed katana. Engraved near the center of the sheath, was the name "Sword of Akuma".

I picked it up and could feel immense power emitting from within it. I ran back to the living room with the katana and shouted out my discovery. "Nice find Joshu. Now we need to decide on the exact use for this power-up.." I said what no one else was going to say "We should use it to kill the killer.." "Joshu.." Hana seemed a little scared. Ran looked at me "You're probably right. We need to defend ourselves and survive." Mashu nodded to our answers. "Alright well lets get going to school.." We left the mansion and made it to the school. It was still unsettling going to a school building by ourselves. Not only that but it's not even actual school. Everything about this gave me a horrible feeling. Coming into class the 'teacher' was standing by the board with a smile on her face. We sat and waited for her 'instruction'. In silence we waited. Suddenly she spoke. "Today you will be trying to survive!" she grinned with malicious intent. I felt a horrible feeling shoot from the very tip of my toes to the tip of my strands of hair. It felt as if a dark aura was cast upon the classroom to symbolize me and my friends fear. Without a second thought, we all scurried from the classroom. As we were running out, we heard the bastard mastermind make an announcement. "Good luck escaping from the killer! The doors are locked so you have to find the key! Goodbye!". Kentoreru quickly adjusted to the situation "Let's split up and find the key. Two left and three right. Go!" Me and Hana dashed to the left hallway and the others went right.
Me and Hana went to the counselors room to search for the key. The room had dark red walls with dark oak wood furniture and flooring, making it give off bad vibes for me personally.
Hana checked the bookshelves and i checked the drawers. We found nothing. We decided to leave and group up with everyone else. But as i was walking out the door, i got a cut on my cheek. Hana saw my blood leak down my face. "Joshu?.." i told Hana to get out and group up with Kentoreru's group. "I can't just leave you!" She cried. I braced myself "Alright then fine.." i picked up Hana and threw her down the hallway. She slid about halfway on her side. I tried to run to her but my leg got slit open. I threw my blood around until it landed on the killer, giving him an appearance of some sort..
