Is This Love?

🔸Enjoy 🔸

As the militants went to their positions the rest of the people on the Beach run for their lives.

Running...and running...running...nonstop just to save their lives and they know that there's no one going to save them not the Militants not even Hatter.

This was hell.

All you could hear was the dying screams of the people. Gunshots. Blood. Screams. Dead people. Everywhere you could see it. Even the militants have no time to spare and give them mercy, they have to do it for the sake of surviving. So just they could clear this game in the fastest way.

Usagi along with Rin and the new girl runs away from the militants. Rin on the other hand opens all the doors they run into. But all she found was an empty room in every room that she opened. "Just where did they hide Arisu?" Rin asked aloud, getting tired from all the running. 'I've never been this tired before...' the girl leaned at the wall catching up to her breath.

"Hide in this room." said Usagi to Asahi, "What? No! Please let me come with you, Usagi." Asahi looks at Usagi with fear, "If I stay here and they've found me it will be game over to me." Asahi looks at her even worrier. Usagi doesn't know what to say. "We should not leave her here. She could help us find Arisu, the more the merrier, right?" Rin cut into the conversation.

Suddenly they heard footsteps coming their way. "Shoot hide!" Rin was about to open the door next to them as she catches a glimpse of the boy again from before. The boy sighs in relief seeing Rin again. "It's me, Tatta!"

"It's you again." The girl mutters, "Listen, hear me out." Tatta and the other boy jogs towards them. "I think we should work together like we have before." Tatta looks at Rin for approval. "Like I said the more the merrier." This time Rin turns to look at Usagi for another approval.

Usagi looks at her group and then to Rin, "Help me find Arisu." it's only the request that has in her mind. The group suddenly hears gunshots and screams once again. "We gotta keep moving, they're getting close."

"Come on, hurry!" Usagi starts to run off then the rest follows her.

Everything was chaos the people who had died were being thrown out into the fire and their "New Boss" stood watching the people burn as they turned into ashes he doesn't feel any guilty or regret for the people it was his plan all along. He's doing this all to his dear friend.

"They've all gone crazy." Kuina looks at every cctv on the monitor as they watched the people die. "Not their smartest move." Chishiya playfully added, "Why would they go so far just to survive?"

The militants act so highly to themselves, especially that one militant that he secretly hates. "There's no way to find out who the witch is this way." Kuina looks at the monitor in distress.

"You could be the witch. Right, Kuina?" Chishiya didn't leave his eyes on the screen, Kuina looks at him, "Or it could be you." Chishiya finally looks at Kuina and scoffs, this is how they get along. He was used to it. Kuina looks back again at the monitors.

"Or...It could be Rin." Kuina quickly looks back at Chishiya once again, "Don't bring that up. There's no way she's the witch. Besides we are with her the whole time." Chishiya avoids eye contact with her this time.

Kuina finally notices the sudden change of behavior of him. To be honest this was the first time she saw Chishiya being like this. She doesn't mind using this to tease him in the future.

Kuina finally turns to face him, "Unless..." she begins, "Unless what?" Chishiya looks at Kuina this time. "You like her don't you?" she smirks, she swears to herself she just saw Chishiya almost lift a smile but shakes it off.  "What? Why would I like Rin at a time like this?" he raises one eyebrow at Kuina.
