Ryoko woke up alone, alarmed when his tv had suddenly turned on with a familiar jingle.
"Thank you for staying at Seaside Paradise Tokyo. As a token of our appreciation, we will now commence a game for all guests in the hotel. The game will now commence.
Difficulty, Ten of Hearts. We will now be explaining the rules. All players are to assemble in the lobby. I repeat. All players are to assemble in the lobby."
Fucking hell. Ryoko got up and started to make his way towards the lobby. Coming out of his room, he had almost been knocked clean to the floor by a running body.
Holding on to the wall for stability, he recognized the out of breath person. Usagi?
It took Ryo a moment to take in her appearance, what he saw worried him. Her hair was tangled and tossed, the slight bruise was forming on her neck and wrists, her eyes were dilated with apprehension and slight fear, and the smudge of blood on her lips made him worried.
"Usagi? Hey, what happened to you?" The worry in his voice threw Usagi off. Had he known about Chishiya's plan and what Niragi had done?
"Like you don't know." It came out harsher than she wanted. Ryoko was confused at her snide tone.
Her thoughts were hushed after looking at the thick blanket wrapped around the taller's shoulders. His movements were sluggish as if he had just woken up. And she believed that as when she looked into his eyes, she saw the red tint around his pupil along with the deep bags that sat under them.
He didn't know. He does not know.
"Know what, Usagi?"
She was hesitant to tell him. She knew how close the three were. But she also knew that if it were here she would want to know. So she told him everything. The more she told him, the angrier he looked. His thoughts were running wild and bloodthirsty.
Hearing about Niragi's assault on Usagi sent him over edge to where he dropped the blanket and pivoted in the direction of the lobby, ignoring Usagi calling his name.
The two made it to the lobby just in time to get a phone. Usagi grabbed an extra one presumably for Arisu, when they find him. The petite woman pulled Ryoko with her towards the crowded front. Pausing with a gasp at the sight. There was a girl dead-stabbed dead. Momoka.
Suddenly a guy came running towards the large group. "There's a fire burning at the back of the building!"
The two share a bewildered expression before their attention is taken by something else.
"Find the one who murdered Momoka, then burn them in the fire of judgement."
"A witch hunt? This sounds interesting." A growl almost slipped past Ryoko's lips when he heard Niragi's voice.
"The game has already begun."
Niragi had stood next to Usagi about to taunt her. He only noticed Ryoko behind him when his arm was grabbed in a bruisingly tight grip. The black-haired male spun around with a snarl, only for it to falter when he was met with a harsher one from his lover. Niragi had to fight back a flinch when the other male spoke in a hushed tone.
"Stay the hell away from her."
