CHAPTER TWO

little morizono

I WAS WALKING ALONGSIDE THE militants, in between Aguni and piercing's guy, who walked beside tattoo guy. I quickly learned their names were Niragi and Last Boss.

Last Boss seemed pretty odd, but he kept to himself. I don't think I've heard him speak once, only his expressions and head movements told me what he didn't say.

It was a shame that the really attractive guy happened to be the same one making comments on me and Usagi when we were tied up— its always the good looking guys with the shitty personality.

Aguni had already showed me to my room, and now was showing me around the building. He insisted to bring the militants along, which I had no say in. They were all outside my room when we came out.

Everyone within a 3 metres distance moved away upon seeing the large group. I felt quite powerful having people basically bow down to me. I could get used to this.

"The pool." Aguni nodded towards the large pool outside which was occupied by what looked like hundreds of people. I didn't even know this many people were alive.

I also noticed everyone wearing swimsuits, whether they were in the pool or not, and was reminded of Hatter's rule. Always wear a bathing suit.

Great.

"Don't worry, the bathing suit rule doesn't apply to you." Aguni read my mind. I raised an eyebrow at him. "What, you wanna play the games in a bikini top?"

I rolled my eyes. "Don't be stupid, brother."

"Don't listen to Aguni." Niragi spoke from beside me. We turned to him, confused. "You can wear whatever you want, little Morizono." He winked and looked me up and down.

Aguni sent him a glare, and told him with his eyes to stop before he got violent. Niragi only laughed and raised his hands in mock surrender.

They seem pretty close, I thought. Not the greatest company to have, but its something.

As soon as we stepped outside, the once-loud-area became silent. Stares came from everywhere, and not one of them wasn't a scared look.

I noticed we were walking to the side and spotted Arisu and Usagi not far away, sat on a lounger.

"I'll be one sec." I told Aguni before walking towards them. I hadn't had the chance to speak to them before Aguni dragged me out the room. I hadn't even seen them until now. "Hey, guys."

The two turned their heads. "Asuka." Usagi smiled at me, and stood to hug me. Unexpected, but sure. Arisu smiled from his seat, but made no move to stand.

"Are you okay?" I asked. They both nodded, to which I sighed in relief. "Good. How you finding this place?"

The two shared a look, and I quickly shook my head. "Don't worry, I don't think it's all that great either. I mean, everyone here is so..."

"...normal?" Arisu finished for me. I nodded. "I agree. It's like no one cares that we play life threatening games, and instead act like it's the normal world."

I nod. "I know. But, realistically, we can't ever forget our normal world. And I guess, doing regular stuff takes peoples minds away from the fact that they could die the next day."

"I guess, but it's still weird." Usagi muttered, causing me to laugh slightly.

Suddenly, I remembered the militants were still waiting for me. I turned to see them all staring directly at us.
