Chapter 10

Chishiya POV

I looked at the guy called Shiro waiting for him to pull the trigger. "Pull it, or we all die," I said in a cold tone making him look more annoyed. But again, nothing happens. The phone turned on "30 seconds left." The AI voice announced.

I slowly felt my heart beat faster, but not showing it, to satisfy the Shiro guy. "Okay, either you pull the trigger, or I will." I looked over to see Niragi with a quiet annoyed face. Witch was amusing. And had his gun pointed at him "We don't know if that revolver is loaded. But I can promise you. This one is." He said in a threatening manner. "Point the gun at the red-haired guy," I say calmly, getting everyone's attention. Shiro's eyes quickly widened. "What?! No" he said trying to defend him. Niragi looked at me with a smirk for a second. Then pointing the gun at the redhead.

"10"

The redhead backed away, looking uncomfortable, and looks at Shiro with clear panic.

"5"

"4"

"3"

Click.

The trigger was pulled, and the time stopped. A few seconds later the timer reset. "Round 2, commences now." Here we go again. The gun was pushed towards me, and the 2 guys- one called Shiro and a redhead, I didn't know the name of.

I had a pretty good idea about the now. I grabbed the gun, and I have a cold smile, the others looked at me weirdly. Nirago was the only one who asked. "The hell are you smiling at? shortie!" He sounded annoyed and Shiro started to smile. "A couple, I see." When those words left his mouth I looked over at him. Niragi was laughing like a maniac. Typical. "You should be the one to talk?" I said making Shiros smile fade quickly. "What do you mean?" He questioned, trying to push away his nervousness, it was pathetic to look at.

Niragi stopped laughing but looked intrigued by a conversation. "This is getting good." He smiles. I heard a sigh come from, the redhead. "And if so, is there? Problem?" He said coldly making Shiro look at him with a warm smile. The girl we were with had a disgusted look on her face. "EW! That is so fucking wrong-" "No one asked you, to join in. If you don't have anything intelligent to say. Keep it shut." I say somewhat annoyed. "The thing is, why would you go into a death game with your partner? It's stupid. One dies, the other one is hurt and can't get over it. Plus I could kill one of you. And mentally destroy the other one like that. I could use it agents you. Just so you are aware." I pointed the gun at myself, making Niragi try to interfere. "What the hell do you think you're doing? If you die! Hatter will kill me!" He said in a clear panic, he wasn't telling the full truth tho. "I'll be fine," I say, I pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. "See told you." I put the gun down sliding it over to the girl. Who looked furious at the two guys. And quickly pointed the gun at Shiro, pulling the trigger. When nothing happens she threw the gun on the table, making the revolving cylinder open, making her see how many bullets are left. Making me and Niragi quickly look away.

Shiro and the redhead's eyes widened, they were not able to see it, I assumed. A few seconds later the laser was heard and suddenly the sound of a body hitting the floor was heard. I looked over at her seeing her collapsed on the floor, I looked over to see the gun gone, and suddenly the middle of the table open up and a little tube came up with a new revolver. I carefully grabbed it. And handed it to Niragi I took it and pointed it at the redhead. "If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason you don't shoot at each other?" "As much as I wanted to, I can't." "Why would you want to?" Shiro asked Niragi. "Two reasons. First: he thinks he is SO much smarter than everyone. Second: his attitude." I just let out a sigh. "You are wasting time. Just shoot." He rolled his eyes. Before pulling the trigger. And pushing it over to Shiro. "But, to answer. I am, smarter than everyone. I'm here at least." Niragi turned to me. "Excuse me?" He pointed his gun at me. "If you used your brain before you would have known that there were no bullets in it." His expression told me everything. He was lost. I let out a sigh. "It wasn't heavy, compared to when it's loaded, it was too light to be loaded," I say. "Then what about this one?" I looked at him. "Can't say, I'm not entirely sure, I will receive a game over, but I'm not risking it now."
