The Past is Long Gone

"Boy#20 Shinji Mimura-POV"
The screams won't stop, it's still disturbing.

This fat fuck talking won't stop laughing what a deranged psychopath. Why would he do this to Douku? Will he do that to us too? Why only him? Speaking of, we're missing a few boys are they.... nonononononono not like this shit shit shit.

"Oh yeah I better explain what you're supposed to do. Boys clean this mess up." the man said, his putrid smile never changing. "You see that guy kept resistin so we just uh, had fun with him. So if you don't wisen up then you'll end up like him. We did that to him while alive mind you." he continued. This guy is too twisted. I look over at Yazuo but he's just staring at the floor crying, his tears mixing with the blood on the floor. I look over at Keita, he's not even looking anymore. He's struggling to breathe. He's probably trying to stop his crying.

"Okay boys shut up or else I'll slit your throats and feed them to you heh. Are you even men? Anyway now is the time to explain or lil fun game!" He speaks in an arrogant, happy and pompous tone. Disgusting. "The gist of it is you're in an island, last person to survive wins." The room suddenly becomes silent. Taking all the information in our brains process then. Despair.

"Oh yeah we're also closing sum locations durin the game if you go there you die." We're still trying to take it in when a cart strolls through the door filled with bags. "Those bags have a weapon and some of your necessities like food n water we'll be giving them out by order so..."

"Boy#01 Keita Nijima-POV"
What did I just see... tatsuya dead,im alive, who else, how many, yazuo? shinji? chihiro? CHIHIRO. What the hell happened to Chihiro? What the hell will happen to us. I didn't even get to confess... Thats what I get for being spineless. Wait that's not the problem. These bags are given by student number right? Then that mea-

"NUMBER 1!" The man yelled at me. "Get over here or die.". I say okay and go to the front. I pass by Shinji who seems to be thinking. The scum look like they're snickering, damn that sadistic group. I don't know why the guy isn't punishing these scum well I guess a sadist sympathizes with sadists. I'm in front. Right next to the man, his smile gives me an unnerving feeling. It's even creepier up close. I take my bag, glancing at the others. Shinji? Shinji's winking at me? I go outside quickly so they don't wonder why I'm staying for so long.

The hall towards the outside looks just like the school hall except its darker and gloomier, the soldiers lined up by the walls. I think they're showing me where to go. I see an exit by the end of the hall, it's time to go. Is there anyone who believes in pacifism? I'm sure Shinji and Yazuo are against this. Chihiro too. Who else? Yamamoto will proably be against it, so will his girlfriend. Tatsuya's girlfriend will probably stay pacifist. Anyone else? Damn it I can't think straight. For now I'll go outside.

I walk out of the door. It's night, the area itself is like a forest, filled with trees and bushes. The area in front of the exit though is mowed and has lamp posts arranged in a circular pattern. Where should I go? I might have to wait for Shinji and Yazuo, but doing that might cause me to encounter the Scum of Shukketsu. That's the worst case scenario. So to prevent that from happening I'll hide behind a bush not too close to the building. Also, where are all the girls? Are they in the opposide side of the buil-

Someone goes out running from the building, Mitsukawa, no. 2. I haven't realized it but 2,3,6,10,11 are all of the Scum. I should really be careful in these early parts. What? Mitsukawa is staying outside as if he's waiting for his crew, not only that but.... he has a knife!

I need to check my own bag. I fumbled through the crackers and bottled water, I found my weapon and its... A tennis racket? What the hell am I supposed to do with this?

I creep closer to the building, hiding behind shrubs and trees to observe him even more.

I'm scared.

I wanna make it. I wanna save Chihiro and everyone else. After all what else is my brain for?

Out goes 3, wait. If 4 is dead then... Kimura is gonna get jumped! But what can I do? I'm useless in a fight and there's no one to call anymore. Do I run? Will running make me feel better for saving myself? What kind of man will I be then? When was I even a damn guy with courage. A voice in my head talks, "Yo." it says. Yazuo? Have I gone I insane this early? Maybe... he would want me to save 5. I never wanted to impress him though... but I feel like. When I throw away my honor and run.. I'll never be able to face them! It's now or never.

5 comes out running.

I run too, towards him.

"Oi where'd ya think you're going bitch ass!" Mitsukawa yells as he runs after Kimura. "You know sport jocks like you get on my damn nerves!" he continued as he slowly closed the gap between them. Kimura can run really fast but the military guys hit his head earlier.

Kimura is off running with Mitsukawa in hot pursuit. "Kimura run!" I yell as I snuck up on Ketsuki. Ketsuki turned around and tried to hit me. I feel a force by my stomach, a punch. His punch turned me inside out but I luckily hit him with ma racket as he hit me. He got a little bit dazed, good. I think I hit him by his wound. Now time to-

Bang.

How could I forget. It was the heat of the moment so I forgot but... After 5 is...

"Thought you can get my Number 2 huh?" he said, mocking me.

After 5 is.... Kuro.

The End
