Love In Borderland Niragi x OC x Chishiya

The Final Night

Once the group of five reached the top of the subway and were greeted by the moonlight, they all stopped and turned to face each other. Now came the hard part, trying to find somewhere to stay for the night now that they no longer had the luxury of the Beach. Kagami, however, felt a sense of familiarity that she hadn't felt since she had run away from this part of Tokyo at fourteen. They were currently a couple blocks from the poorest district in Tokyo that only those who had lived in the area for long enough referred to as San'ya. While it hadn't been officially called that since the 1960s, that was what Kagami and her family always called the area. While the others were in deep conversation about their different options, Kagami simply looked around the area before finally speaking.

"We could go to my family home?" She suggested, drawing the gaze of everyone else. "It's not too far from here. It has a fireplace, a creek out the back and a stash of non perishable food that Daiki and I stole over the years. My father was also a paranoid man so there's plenty of locks to prevent people from breaking in so we can actually get some sleep. Something tells me we're gonna need it." She told the group. With the Face Cards being the only games left, Kagami imagined that the survivors that remained were all cut throat and ruthless which meant that they had much more to worry about than just the Games.

"That sounds good." Arisu said almost immediately. "Maybe we can check out some of Daiki's things? See if he's been back around there, if that's okay?" Kagami was taken back by his question but nodded anyway.

"Which brother of yours is this? The Bully?" Chishiya asked. Kagami glanced over at Chishiya and shook her head in response. She had honestly forgotten that he knew about Hachi.

"No. This is the gangster. He's been a Yakuza member for years now which is not great for us." She replied with her brow furrowed. "You're thinking about Hachi. Although, I honestly wish it was Hachi up there rather than Daiki. He's much easier to handle, believe it or not." Kagami mused, her eyes flicking to meet with Chishiya, who seemed to be examining her face as if he were trying to read her.

"Lead the way." Arisu said, drawing her gaze away from Chishiya, "This seems like our best option given it's already night and we don't know where the new Game Arenas are. So, we'll need to leave early so we have a chance to search for it." Arisu said, seemingly taking the role of the group leader. As Kagami's eyes flicked around to look at Kuina, Usagi and Chishiya, it seemed that none of them had any complaints.

Kagami took a small breath before she started to walk in the direction of her family home. It was a place that filled Kagami with nothing but dread and she hadn't been back to it since she killed her father at 17. Since then it had become nothing more than a bad memory. One that she was going to be willingly walking into. But, it was about time she faced her past.

It didn't take long to reach Kagami's old neighborhood and right away she noticed the way that Arisu and Kuina were looking around. They clearly had never been in a place like this before. This neighborhood held nothing but despair. It was a place people came to disappear. Feeling someone walking up beside her, she turned her head around to look at Chishiya, who kept his gaze locked ahead of him.

"So this is the famous San'ya?" He mused. "I've treated a lot of people from here but never actually been here myself." He told her and Kagami scoffed at him.

"Unless you're here for drugs, Yakuza business or prostitutes there's no reason for you to come here, Shuntaro." Kagami laughed. "This is the sleaziest place in Tokyo. There's no way I'd be back here if we were in our world. Suguru and I actually live in Shibuya which is a huge step up from this place. Or well we did... I guess I'll be covering all the bills now that he's dead when we get back to the real world." She sighed.
