Us 4

Chapter 16 - I dare you...

Yo.

Without further ado, I present to you...

Chapter 16 - I dare you!!!

"That was certainly weird..." Hiro places her index finger on her slightly open lips, deep in thought.

"In this world, what isn't?" I rhetorically ask. Getting back on track, we continue down the left passage way. A welcoming and nostalgic scent of home teased my nostrils. However, the scent I smelt, wasn't the home I remembered.

Before I hurt my head any further, I push the thought aside, returning to my main objective.

"That's the room." Hiro whispered, reminding me that we are still on a mission. My goofy smile soon became a nauseous pout as I felt some tapping on my shoulder. My face became even more nauseous as I saw the being that tapped it...

Akane's P.O.V

A hand viscously covers my mouth, and silences my muffled screams. Acting upon impulse, I struggle about and kick as hard as I can. With a vigorous thrust of the knee, an all-too-familiar cry of pain could be heard.

"M-my baby-maker!" The culprit yelped. Hiro sighs, as if she almost saw this coming. Yuki silently snickers, clearly in on this.

"You girls take hours to get anywhere." Asahi rubs his sore spot.

"We simply got worried for you." Yuki gives a soft smile, melting my anger.

"This place is much more bigger than it looks. We were bound to get lost." Hiro states.

"Since we are all together now, show us to your room." I demand.

"Follow me, princess." Asahi ushered us to their room. The walk seemed a lot less shorter than it was with the others, as we spent the time talking about anime couples.

***12:00 AM***

After a few minutes, we reach wooden brown sliding doors.

"This is it." Yuki yawns, tired, yet full of life. He slides the door open, groggily ushering everyone inside.

We mount ourselves on a chair, sighing like exhausted athletes. 

"So... Why are we here again." Hirono asks. That's actually a good question. I didn't think the whole thing out, I just wanted to come.

"How about," Asahi grins, "Truth or dare!" he chimes, despite his exhausted appearance. Sweat-dropping at the cliche-ness of that proposal, I agree, as it doesn't seem like there was anything else for us to do.

"Alright, let's sit on the ground. It adds to the atmosphere." Yuki fantasizes.

"..." We all stare at him like he sprouted another head.

"Okay..." Asahi kills the silence.

The order was Asahi, Hiro, Yuki and last but not least, me.

"1, 2," Asahi murmurs, obviously plotting something.

"3, 4, 5," Hiro slowly counts.

"6," Yuki smiles innocently.

"7, 8," I carelessly continue.

"9, 10, 11," Asahi grins.

"12,13,14," Hiro chimes. As far as she knows, she is safe.

"15," Yuki seems to be deep in thought.

"16,17," I sigh, glad to be safe. Asahi's grin grows wider than I've ever seen. It looks like his face is about to rip in half. He smiles at his beloved sister before slowly saying,
