(The endless stacks of books in that library was my daily bread. Mr. Akaiwa needed something to keep me at bay while his "relatives" visited him in the foyer; the library was just one part of the bookstore originally owned by my parents but has been turned to a secret bar club by him...I dear not make myself visible as those barbarians partake in various drinking games unless I want to be a laughing stock or an errand boy. Some kids were playing football outside and I could see from the basement window as they charge upwards the unlevelled ground....they moved, laughed and ran without a care in the world.)
"I ENVIED THEM"
"But sometimes".... …"Just sometimes"
I imagine myself playing with them and kicking the ball very high as I laughed with kids my age for the very first time...… I guess I felt lonely.
Lonely enough to assault a bird, lonely enough to death glare that man, lonely enough to make them think I am crazy...
....But Funny enough I don't feel lonely right now in this devastating situation.
[The sound of static waves is heard and a large projection profile hologram is seen as the masked man]
{Masked man on Hologram}
" Now that the first gameshow has been set, I'll lay down the rules to you sorrowful puppies (KHU KHU), so make sure you listen very carefully. We are on Phylum Underground floor with approximately 70ft. below surface. You will undergo a series of challenges, games and a lot of hocus pacos (KHU KHU) all for the amusement of this organization (KHU KHU KHU). They are 3 floors underground; Zone 3 Phylum 4 which we are residing now, each zone consist of 3 stages of games, once you have completed that zone floor with the 3 stages you move up underground getting close to the surface!! And eventually your freedom (KHU KHU KHU KHU). Whereas the subjects that don't succeed that stage on any zone floor will be held back until cleared!! but I must warn you the more you get held back the more INTERESTING the game becomes(HAH HAH HAH!!)….Anyway so in 10 minutes you, your cell, or a mixture of you weirdos can be picked for our next game.(CHOW)
(The Hologram glitches away and sudden tension fills the room ;to all who understand that they have become a secret public attraction against their will is sickening to the core bu- wait did he say sevent- we are seventy feet underground!!!...It will be crazy for signal to reach this below and don't get me started on this "GAMES" that they have in store for us; everyone was quiet well except for the girl making siren noises, I can imagine how hopeless we feel right now;...("YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!" suddenly, someone barks ) then a desk got thrown across the room catching everyone's attention, I pinpoint the direction from where it was thrown from and it is the same boy that had the stench of blood, though I couldn't see him properly then, but the luminated light made his features clearer, No blood stains was seen anywhere on his body which made me think if my nose was malfunctioning but then I spotted a dead sparrow with its belly opened up and a scalpel and scissors beside it drenched in blood.)
I could see he was the bisecting type and won't hesitate to cut someone's' guts open ,half side of his hair was jet black while the other half was white which made him stand out.
The sound of grunting and struggle was heard from where the desk has been thrown and a boy with white messy hair covering both his eyes and dressed in a kimono flings the table away from him...He pulls out something from underneath his attire and a FREAKING KATANA EMERGES...(Oi! Oi! Oi!) how the hell did they not see the weapon when he was unconscious !!!... his face holds an intense glare and bloodlust is seen in his wide eyes, he thrust immediately at an alarming speed towards the half-hair nut-job who dodged it flawlessly from the katanas' edge...the sword held in a stance then swings vertically making the half-hair nut-job backflipped from harms way. The nut-job shows skill in the martial art while the kimono is probably still an amateur swordsman. They engaged in a heated combat, daring one to falter. With perfect timing the half-hair nut-job sends a kick to his wrist causing his katana to fly across the room. A smirks grows on the nut-job but the kimono boy is paying no attention, he bends his neck backward and gasps loudly for air, his eyes turn side to side rapidly and he just suddenly crash out.
"GIVE HIM BACK!!! GIVE HIM BACK SENSEI!!! SENSEI ZUNJII HE'S MINE! MINE!! STAY AWAY ..KRRRRR AaaaaaaRGHHHHH!!!!"
He launches at the half hair nut-job screaming at the top of his lungs about his precious katana, his knuckles has turned white with veins becoming visible on his body.
The girl that was drooling all over the sink ran to the iron doo, her bright orange hair covers the side of her face; she screams and bangs on the iron door demanding help fearing someone will die; Then the infinity mark sign on the iron door turns to an automated face and replied with a robotic female voice,
"Sorry safety within the cells is out of our concern".
The kimono boy screams louder and is getting out of control, nut-job throws him under him and locks his legs then throws a jab at his chin,
" DAMN YOU !! ..NOBODY GIVES A F**K ABOUT YOUR STUPID SWORD....THIS ANGER BUILDING INSIDE ME!! KNOWING IM EITHER GONNA DIE OR BECOME THOSE MASKED FREAKS SLAVES...THERE IS NO WAY I WON'T DIE TRYING LEAVING THIS HELL-HOLE TO SLICE THAT PIP-SQUEAK WHO SOLD ME OUT!!!
Nobody had the courage to stop them, the nut-job after letting out steam goes to where the dead sparrow is and grabs the scissors then flings it fast as it pierces the air towards the kimono boy who dodged it at the nick of time but continuous flying directly towards the orange hair girl who was now sobbing leaning forward the iron door!!.
(AT THAT MOMENT ,MY INSTINCTS GOT MY FEET MOVING AND ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS SAVING HER ..I LAUNCH MYSELF AND END UP PUSHING ME AND HER OUT OF THE WAY , THE SCISSORS FLEW AND GOT STUCK BY THE TIP AT THE IRON DOOR)
I kind of blanked out for a moment, I raised my head slightly to feel a numb pain in my head; I look down worriedly then caught her weary emerald orbs as tears flows down quietly ….I wanted to scoop those tears with my fingers and tell her everything would be okay..( which was pointless to say because she must have also been betrayed to end up here)
Like the dumbass I am, I asked with my cheeks flushed like a cherry tomato, " Ar- Are you okay?."
She then snorted whimpering out loud, her drool sticks to her face making her look pitiful,....she cried out loud,
" IM SORRY"!!.....WHAT?
"I-IAAA AM SORRY"!!.......WHY WAS SHE APOLOGIZING?
"SO SORRY!!!"
( Then a loud whistle blows followed by a white smoke filling the room instantly, making everyone dizzy, knocking us out one by one until it affects me and I fall on her and everything turns blank)
(DARKNESS AGAIN)
