he opened his eyes after only 30 minutes of sleep. he just blankly stared at the white ceiling of his room.
-so what exactly changed ? i mean it always stayed at 100% so why did it suddenly drop?-
when he was a kid Shiki lost his family in a plane crash since then he lived with his grandpa in america but for no reason his grandpa suddenly decided to move to japan but that's not what's important. Since the death of his parents and his brother every night he had dreams about certain lands and events and everyone of these dreams ended up showing 100% in gigantic letters he could't miss but for some reason the day of the field trip the nummer suddenly changed to 99%.
- does that mean somethings going to happen on this field trip? i never really thought about it but what if the dreams have some kind of meaning? well no time to think about it i need to prepare and go to school i don't wanna take a bus to the station-
shiki stood up and slowly walked towards the bathroom he took a shower battliing against the hot water to not fall asleep but failed and in his fall he switched hot to cold .
-AAARGH!
- fuckin' hell shit like this keeps happening to me -
after changing into his school clothes he started cooking he had to be careful because he broke the heat plates while " accidentially " letting a spoon in the microwave that is situated next to the plates you probably know the rest.
- i really should fix that damn window before winter starts otherwise i'll die of hypothermia-
the window was also broken no while carefully looking this house was large with many furnitures but it lacked something . Something you should find in any 13almost 14 year olds home something that every teenager should have .
(INTERNATIONAL MIDDLE SCHOOL OF JAPAN 10H05)
all the kids in their black and white gym clothes it semmed Shiki was the only one who had the school uniform just under it .
- waah i feel so out of place even tho it's my 3thrd year in japan. i was so lucky they had an international middle school my 6th year of primary school was weird as hell i was the only black boy there even tho my mom and grandma are japanese i still felt so out-
- ATTENTION EVERYONE!!
all the groups were reassembling into what was supposed to be ranks but in a matter of seconds evryone was scattered between themselves.
- so y'all can't even get i ranks ? proffesor Daniels was mumbling and probably cursnig his students but he quickly continued to talk. anyways I WILL MAKE GROUPS FOR IN THE BUS THE POEPLE YOU'LL BE ASSIGNED WITH WILL ALSO BE THE POEPLE YOU'LL GO TAKE THE COURAGE TEST WITH!!
- what we can't choose the group ourselves~?
-well it was to be expected with that kind of teach.
- look at his mustache which year does he think this is we're in 2013~
-th_these bastards SINCE SOME OF YOU HAVE A BIG MOUTH THE POEPLE I ASSIGN YOU WITH ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE YOU'LL BE ALLOWED TO GO AROUND TOWN WITH !!
-nooo~
-Don't do this to us ugly mustachio~
Proffesor Daniels was a really well liked teacher he was often played with but even tho nobody ever showed it everyone loved and respected him.he started naming the poeple and their groups their groups it was three classes so Shiki thought to himself that he didn't have to listen to eveything except the basics. all groups are just with the same gender and you can hang out with your opposite group wich meant opposit gender till curfew.
- GROUP 6! RYÛU SHIKI,FROST ADAM,GINTAROU AKASHI,GINTAROU SATSUKI YOU'RE OPPOSITE GROUP WILL BE GROUP 13 THAT IS ALL NOW ALL IN THE BUS!!
- Hell no why am i in the same group as these three they're way too populare it'll be annnoying and who is in group thirteen !!? why didn't that idiot start from group 1 till the last group he just did shit in dissarey. ah wait they're putting sticker let's go~-
Shiki entered the bus with a Group 6 tag on his chest.he was now looking to the girls groups desperately looking for the number 13.
- A found a number thirteen, Atsushi Ichika,Suzuki Hatari,Nakamura Ao and finally...finally... Oh fuck Wakaba Olivia. for some reason the girl hates me at first she was frienldy with me and kept talking about rivalry shit i think she meant my scores i alwyas have higher than her in every subject one time i scored full marks everywhere and it looked like she almost entered depression so i asked the teacher to change my marks of course it wasn't easy so , he only changed my marks in front of the public in my school record it's wirtten like it should be. it seems Olivia found out and since then she seems on the edge around me, shouldn't she be thanking me instead ? girls are so weird sometimes i wonder if we're the same spiecies . I don't wanna sound too much but i'm pretty damn awesome and good looking but it's like every girl is purpously avoidin' me like im some sorte of disease-
- Hoy Shiki move.
-Oh my bad .
shiki sat somwhere in the middle without looking next to him he didn't see who sat next to him . when he looked Adam Frost was almost already sleeping but everyone semmed to trytalking to him as soon as the bus started to ride .
- HAHAHAHAHA
-AND THEN HE....
- this shit is tiring why are they talking so much no why are they talking dircectly while directing their voices at us or more precisely Adam-
Shiki turned his head towards Adam he looked like he was dying from the pain.
- is he sick ? this doesn't look like a serious headache but if they continue to scream like that he'll go crazy for sure-
- HOI!!
Shiki looked at them individually he thought it was pretty normal to speak with them making eye contact with everyone but Shiki had that depth, that darkness, that mystery in his eyes that could make want shake in fear and with the serious tone he takes when he wnats to talk it sounded as if he was going to kill them . all these factors made it so Shiki was known as the cold yet charming boy. So contrary to what Shiki thought he was somwhat of a popular boy himself.
- You guys talk so much i can't get any rest and to who are you guys even talking to you're not actually saying you're talking to the guy who's holding his head out of pain right?
they finally actually looked at Adam and noticed he wasn't feeling well but started to scream again.
-OH SHIT ADAM YOU GOOD!?
-SORRY WE DIDN'T NOTICE!
- SHOULD WE GET A TEACHER ?!
- Should i perhaps be more clearer ?
Shiki looked at them he only looked but there was that pressure it was something that Adam noticed he could feel that there was something weird with his eyes...no that Shiki Ryûu himself was something beyond his understanding... at least for now.
-SHUT THE FUCK UP.
shiki's tone was more of a passive aggresive tone but the wholo bus fell silent Adam fell asleep giving a smile towards Shiki who tried his best not to fall asleep because he didn't wanna dream again.
(AT THE CAMP IN OKINAWA AFTER THE FLIGHT 02H03)
- so we arrived 4 hours in bus and 2 in plane i was supposed to go to sleep even if i don't want to dream cuz i'm still sleepy asf so why am i in front of a hill with so many tall dark vibing trees?-
-okay evryone take a paper out of the box and you'll have to go with somoene who has the same nummer you picked.
- evryone is here, isn't that a little dumb if the teachers find us we're as good as dead well no point thinking about it now... i got number one so what am i supposed to do now? from the looks of it it's supposed to be a courage test up and down the hill-
- All number ones may go first up the Road.
- well let's just hope i'm with norma... ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME IT'S JUST GROUP FUCKING 6 I'M WITH THE SAME POEPLE I'M SUPPOSED TO SPEND TIME WITH THESE 2WEEKS-
Shiki looked around him and for the first time in a while he saw Olivia smile and it was in his direction but that smile wasn't a cheerful one it was almost sad to see it was like she was frocing herself to put some distance Shiki answered that with a cheerful smile from his end. Olivia was a bit schocked but did the same as him but within these few seconds that short interaction was enough to put jealousy into Adam who saw the scene. After all he already knew the cliché of the childhood friends.
after 8mins of intense walk the four boys finally reached the top.
-it was shorted than expected right Akashi?
-Shut it Gin you're an athlete you don't know how hard it is for normal people to climb up with a back pack filled with food and clothes it's like going on an excursion!
- I'm pretty sure you just have a bad physicall condition akashi.
- ah you serious shiki? you don't think that right Adam?
-.....
-SAY SOMETHING!!
-pfff
they began to laugh at Akashi like there was no tommorow and when Adam suggested to head back shiki looked behind him where the whole island could be seen and had a worried look on his face .
- Shiki wassup?
-a storm is coming
-huh what're you .
- BANG BANG BANG
the sound of thunder three blinding lights and suddenly there was a huge black storm in front of them .
- W we need to run.
-that won't do Gin if we run the trees will fall, on us even tho we're twins how can you be so dumb.
-what so we're supposed to die here?
-calm down Adam it won't kill us.
-AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW!? things started flying and cut Shiki's right index a light cut but one drop of blood fell.
- I know that's all.
-PIIIIIIW BANG
following that crecendo sound the boys blacked out when they woke up they were in some kind of cubical temple some weird inscriptions were written on one of the walls.
- you guys when did y'all wake up ?
- Long before you
- i see the dreams~-
- we already inspected the place. Gin seemed much more calmed than before. there seemed to be only one exit .
- and where is that exit.
Gin pointed towards the ceiling Shiki repositionned his glasses and looked up to find a gigantic door on the ceiling. he then with a nerveous look pointed toward that door .
- you don't mean th..that right ?
-i do mean that.
-+ THE FINAL ONE AWOKE THE TRIAL MAY NOW BEGIN-
-W..what the fuck? just by looking at them i can tell this definitly din't happen before-
-SH-shit wha...
a huge pillar just smashed Akashi into the left wall of the block like temple wall and while screaming his name Gin was smashed down Adam tried to run towards a direction wathever that direction may be but was smashed up.
-left then right the down down down-
Shiki was dodging every pillar even tho their size was gigantic at least the size of a large tv it was incredible how he could dodge that but he didn't stop there when there was enough pillars he started to climb them he was almost there almost at the door but he felt it that pressure of death. Shiki threw his glasses and was smashed mid air at 10cm from the door by an uncalculable number of pillars.
slowly he opened his eyes and looked around him.
-FROST ADAM,GINTAROU AKASHI,GINTAROU SATSUKI HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY STILL ALIVE NO HOW THE FUCK AM I STILL ALIVE ?!-
- so you're awake Shiki. Adam looked at him,his left hand had some weird symbole with the number 1 engraved it seemed like a tattoo but it wasn't one his eyes could tell. the door is till above us but one of the walls dissapeared.
-why the fuck are y'all so calm. he picked his glasses put them on and looked at everyone. don't y'all remeber shit how we just died ?
- died? . Akashi looked at shiki with a worried face. shiki are you okay?
-th..they don't remember that voice that said something about a trial that weird voice i'm sure it was a voice but it had nothing special to it more like there were just words i could hear without somoene or something actually saying them-
-+ ALL FIVE PARTICIPANTS HAVE AWAKENED STARTING FROM 1-5. CURRENTLY IN SEARCH OF A STARTING POINT...
-y'all hear this right?
- yeah Adam loud and clear.
Shiki looked at his his right hand and saw a number.
- i'm pretty sure i should already start preparing myself everything close to me will persih faster these guys won't hold out long, that's the destiny of all things close to me that's why i have nowhere to belong . but that isn't the biggest problem. i have 2 big problems 1 is that the voice said that there are numbers from 1-5 but we're four in the room. secondly is that i .... am number 6 a number that wasn't mentioned-
- in the dream i had 6 was the sign of apocalypse and instead of 100% 99% or even 98% what i got was a kid just there in void with 87% i don't know who that kid is but for some reason i wanted to protect him for some reason i was willing to sacrifice everything for him. i don't know that kid but the feeling i had was so deep i started crying,thinking it might be nice to belong somwhere-
