It was his first day of work in a long while, and there were loads of new players to observe. It was frowned upon to go full blast on the first day and Koji didn't care too much about his points, anyway. As far as reapers went, he was more of a supporter than a harrier. He would handle the locked routes and mini-missions and leave the killing of players to the higher ups. Running a hand through his sleek blond hair, the reaper sighed and jumped down from the tower, using his black wings (and his reaper powers) to guide him gently to the ground. Once there, he made his way to the crossing between Scramble Crossing and the 104 Building. Players would be waking up soon and it was his duty to confirm that they had a pact before he would allow them through.<br><br>Stuffing his hands in the pockets of the oversized red hoodie he wore, Koji leaned against the side of a building and popped a piece of lime green spearmint gum into his mouth. The red hoodie and him were enemies, but he wore it on the first day to give players a sense of what the average reaper support looked like. Tomorrow, he could switch to his favorite sky blue hoodie or his Prince shirt. Ah... Eiji Oji, the Prince of Ennui. Koji's one true love. Smiling wistfully, the blond male cracked the gum in his mouth and watched dazed people begin to wake up and look around belligerently. Some of them got to their feet and walked away, acting embarrassed, but not realizing anything was wrong. Feeling a sense of pity toward them, Koji knew they would be the first to be erased. <br><br>There was one girl in the background who began to scream upon realizing that no one could see her. "Pay attention to me! Im not a ghost! Talk to me!" She was yelling at someone from the RG who simply continued on their way. One player approached her and began to speak to her in a soft voice, which Koji couldn't hear. She was looking more frantic by the moment, but she had at least stopped yelling. At the same time, Koji didn't expect to see her make it far in the game, even if her and her new found 'kindred spirit' made a pact. And, well, they should hurry up if they were going to, because Koji could see the shadows of harriers hanging all about the crossing, preparing to summon noise, which would attack anyone who hadn't yet made a bond. It wouldn't be too late to make a pact but... well, Koji had seen too many people wait too long. <br><br>Frowning, the reaper waited as the noise began to descend and the sounds of screaming were heard. Players scattered, some running off toward Hachiko, others toward the Shibuya Dept Stores, even others ran past him and towards 104. They were met with a shocking surprise when they collided head first with the invisible wall. Koji averted his eyes as the stunned players yelled in disbelief and were descended upon by the frog noise. If only they'd made pacts, he could have lifted the wall for them. Turning his head away and staring at the Q Floor, Koji popped his gum and watched a commercial for J of the M clothing line. He liked them. Too bad one of their only stores was all the way over on Cat Street. He didn't get out that way too often. <br><br>Eventually, some players began to trickle past him in pairs. As couples passed him, Koji would lift the wall for them, for just a moment, before lowering it again. Most of the panicked, unpartnered people had either been erased or had run away by this point, so at least he didn't have to hear any more screaming. As the pairs passed him, he took note of each player, sizing them up, mentally scoring them and placing small bets with himself on how long they would live. So far, he hadn't seen anyone who looked particularly skillful or noteworthy.</ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>

His head spun and his body ached. "Oww...." He thought to himself as he sat up stiffly, wondering why he'd been on the ground in Scramble Crossing anyway. Most people didn't just decide to lay down in the middle of the pavement - not that anyone was looking at him oddly for doing so. In fact, everyone was simply ignoring his existence and continuing on their way. Stretching himself out a bit, Luke jumped to his feet and looked around to see if anything was going on. Nothing appeared to be. The question still remained of how he randomly wound up in the middle of Scramble Crossing, flat on his belly in the middle of the day. Maybe he had actually been hit by a car.<br><br></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><div class="floatleft">(http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t327/Howl_Radcliff/AnimeBoys/Xade-1.jpg)</div><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list">That was when he remembered... screeching brakes, the flash of headlights... but, ha ha... no, that couldn't be possible. He was just fine, here in the good old Scramble. Alive and well. In any case, despite the curious circumstances and the fantasy of him being hit by a car that was just a little too persistent, Luke wanted to go home. He began to walk with the crowd toward the department stores that led past Molco, but paused when his phone went off, signaling a text. Fishing it out of his pocket, the blond seventeen year old flipped it open and stared at the text. "Reach 104 or face erasure. Time: 60 minutes." Luke thought it was a bad joke until a pain shot up his right arm and he stared at his palm in shock at the timer etched there. <br><br>Just to his left, a girl began to scream. "Talk to me! Don't ignore me!" She was yelling at anybody who came within ten feet of her. No one so much as looked at her. Biting his lip, Luke wondered what was wrong. Was she out of her mind? But why was no one even staring in shock and awe?<br><br>"H-hey..." Luke said, staring at her. As soon as he spoke, she turned her frantic eyes on him, clinging to the front of his shirt like it was a life preserver. "<br><br>"You can see me?" She gasped. "No one else can... I don't... I tried to touch them and my hand went right through!" Luke stared at her in utter horror. Was she just nuts or.... or what? "Are we ghosts? I remember... but that must just be my imagination right? Right?" <br><br>Alright, this girl was a tub of crazy sauce. "Ghosts? Of course not." Luke said, "There's no way I'm dead and neither are you. These people are all just..." But he didn't really know what they were. Mean? It wasn't like everyone in the crossing could conspire to ignore one single girl. It was impossible. Luke was starting to get a bit apprehensive and edgy and the girl's demeanor wasn't helping.<br><br>Especially when the next moment she began shrieking again. "Oh my god, OHMIGOD, what are those things!?" She yelled, pointing at a strange, brightly colored group of frogs that were more or less coming straight at them. Could this day get any stranger? Luke watched as they approached. The girl took off running toward the Shibu Dept. Store and Luke didn't miss her one bit. Crouching down, he stared at the frogs... until they began to attack him. Yelling in surprise and pain, Luke kicked them away, but they weren't damaged. Turning, he fled, instead of heading toward Shibu, he ran towards Hachiko instead. </ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>

				As Daichi began to wake up, he found himself on the ground of the Scramble Crossing with people walking past him and not even looking down to see what he was doing here or watch where they were going. It wasn’t too strange since he knew what was going on. Some Reaper game and something about being dead. The last thing that Daichi could remember before appearing in a crowd of other people whispering and wondering what was going on -- was driving his car late at night and turning the corner to see bright yellow lights headed straight for him and then…darkness. That’s right. He was shut by a car driving on the wrong side of the road. He thought back to his entry fee and let out a sigh. Reading books was one of his favorite things to do, but now he wouldn’t even be able to read or write for that matter. It was painful to think about, but Daichi shrugged it off and pushed himself off the ground. <br><br>Dark blue eyes scanned his surrounds for a minute and finally, he opened the palm of his hand to see a pin with a thunderbolt on it. That one looked useful and he was sure that with some practice, he could be able to learn how to use it correctly. Daichi ran his free hand through his sandy blonde hair and tried to figure out just how he was going to be able to get out of this mess. There was something said about a pact with another player and that meant trying to find one in the screams of confused players. <em>Don’t they realize that just accepting it and playing the game is how it’s gonna work?</em> He thought to himself. The beep coming from his cell phone told him of the mission and he yanked the phone from his pocket, frowning when everything was in a mess of words, blurred together and making no sense. Shortly after the mission came in, a sharp, piercing pain shot from his palm and he looked at his hand with the pin, seeing some kind of timer that he couldn’t understand either. He stuffed his cell phone back in his pocket and glanced around, trying to figure out who he could ask about this. <br><br>“Hey…what’s the mission?” Daichi asked a dark haired boy who started to run around in circles screaming at the top of his lungs. He was no help. He clutched the pin in his hand and glanced around for someone else. Out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a couple running toward someone in a red hoodie that could actually see them. If anyone was going to be able to tell him what the hell the message said, it was going to be this guy. Daichi ran over to him and pulled out his cell phone with the message on it, shoving it in his hidden face, “what does it say?” He could remember that the timer was a clock that if he didn’t reach some place in time he’d be erased from the game and existence, but how was he suppose to play when he couldn’t give out what it even said. <br><br>A loud scream caused him to look over his shoulder to see strange frog look creatures. Noise. Those were the things that could due them in. He watched as the girl took off one way with a group of the frogs running after her and a boy taking off toward Hachiko. Those things were starting to come toward him and he shoved the phone directly into his hands now, the pin clutched into his hands as he eyed the advancing Noise. “C’mon! Read it!” He shouted. <br><br>Suddenly, bolts o lightening shot from the sky, striking the Noise down with two bursts and causing them to blink out of existence. He eyed the pin in his hand and smirked, guess he was lucky enough to get a good one to work with. With half the others running around like their heads were cut off, Daichi was already learning more about the game and possibly even ahead of it. <br><br>He kept the pin out inside more Noise decided to come and try to attack him. Daichi faced the guy in the red hoodie again, “okay…what does it say? And the timer…how much time left?” He held up the clock burned into his hand, not even able to tell time was embarrassing. He could only hope that not much time had passed by and that whatever the mission was, it would be easy.

Grimacing to himself, Koji pulled the hood of his red sweatshirt lower and stared at his feet. His black, skeletal wings twitched at his sides, reminding him that he was a reaper, that this was his job. <br><br></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><div class="floatleft">(http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t327/Howl_Radcliff/AnimeBoys/punk-guyprince-1-1.jpg)</div><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list">Then, all of a sudden, someone was right up in his face. Koji was used to people closely passing him, or even walking through him, so he usually didn't pay attention when people invaded his space. But usually, those people couldn't see him, much less talk to him. Raising his head slightly, Koji allowed the hood to fall back enough to reveal one vibrant blue eye and some locks of his blond hair. "...," was all he said (or rather didn't say). Reapers didn't fraternize with players. At least, support reapers didn't. They specified the terms of passing their wall and that was it. <br><br>What was the deal with this kid anyway, Koji thought as his gaze flicked over the mission mail on the phone. Couldn't he read? What was up with that? He certainly seemed to have a grasp on speaking the English language, so couldn't he read it? Maybe it had been his entrance fee. <br><br>Turning his head away, Koji blew a bubble with his gum, thoroughly ignoring Daichi. It grew nearly three inches before popping. The reaper drew the gum back into his mouth cleanly and neatly before beginning to blow another one. He paused, however, when his eyes landed on the boy running toward Hachiko, and his lips grew into a thin line. Who was that blond haired boy?<br><br>Koji didn't have much time to think about it as the annoying player in front of him all but forced the cellphone on him and commanded him to read it. Didn't this boy realize that Koji could erase him if he really wanted to? Narrowing his eyes, Koji shoved the phone back into Daichi's hands. "If you want past the wall, find a partner." Koji grumbled, voice gravelly as he watched some frog noise approach. Maybe they'd finish the boy off before he even had the chance to make a pact.<br><br>Surprisingly, the boy managed to spin around and use one of his starter pins, killing the frog noise without too much trouble. Koji stared at him suspiciously. How? Players couldn't use their pins or abilities without partners... It just didn't happen. Even strong players, when they lost their partners, were toast. <br><br>"How did you do that?" Koji asked, ignoring Daichi's question for the third time, and shoving the cellphone back into Daichi's hand when he held out his palm to present the timer. "You don't have a pact yet." He pointed out as his eyes strayed back toward the path to Hachiko. <br></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>

				Oh great. Finding a partner to make a pact in this horrible crowd? Screaming and shouting, running away from the Noise. How was Daichi ever going to find someone to make a pact with and then what? What did the rest of the mission say? He wasn’t so sure how he was doing to do anything when he couldn’t read. If only this wasn’t his fee, he missed not being able to read and didn’t realize how much until he couldn’t read a simple text message. This guy wasn’t being too much help either, just shoving the phone back into his hands and only giving him that, nothing else. It was really annoying. How come he just didn’t help him out more and tell him how much time left? Maybe he wasn’t allowed to help…some fair game this was. <br><br>He gritted his teeth in anger as yet again, he shoved the phone back to him and decided he wasn’t going to be any help. Daichi placed the phone back in his jacket pocket and turned his attention to the guy in the red hoodie at this sudden question. “They didn’t tell me I couldn’t use it…wait. You mean I shouldn’t be able to without a pact?” Daichi thought about this, wondering if he somehow slipped through the cracks or was special, that would be great! “This is great!” Daichi took a couple steps backwards and concentrated again, wondering if he could use the power yet again and just as before, bolts of lightening crashed out of the sky. The only difference this time, was the fact that there was no Noise to attack. Maybe this pin was special or maybe Daichi just had a knack for the game already. It was hard to tell just what it was, but he wasn’t about to turn in anytime soon. <br><br>“Guess I don’t need a pact. If I can use this pin,” shoving the pin in his face like he had with the cell phone moments before, “that means I can pass.” At least it seemed logical at the time…this whole thing was illogical and trying to shed some logic was difficult, but the fact of the matter was clear. Daichi could use this pin without a pact and believed that he could get through by himself. He rather only have to worry about himself anyway, having to worry about another person would only be troublesome. <br><br>The fact that this was a shinigami that he was talking to was a little weird, but Daichi had to remind himself this whole thing was crazy. The last thing he needed was to be worried about bugging a shinigami, he could past and this shinigami had to allow it. No partner for him, no pact for him and no having to care about some dead weight either. <br><br>Daichi glanced over his shoulder to make sure that the Noise wasn’t coming for him again and was relieved to see none of them. Some of them probably chased that girl and guy away from him and good thing too. If he saw he could handle himself with his pin already, they’d be bugging him to make a pact with them. How annoying.&nbsp; He was just lucky that none of them had been able to attack him. He turned his attention back to the shinigami. Daichi wanted to hurry up and complete the mission before it was game over for him, but this guy was taking forever. How long did it take to realize that he could pass and let him through? Standing here wasn't doing anything for him and he was only wasting his time away. The clock was ticking by and he couldn't even read the damn thing.

Koji had never been accosted by a player like this before. No, he hadn't been a reaper for all that long yet, but still, it wasn't a very normal occurrence. He wished he had never mentioned to Daichi that he shouldn't be able to use the pin without a pact; it just made him even more annoying. Groaning, Koji watched as Daichi used the pin again, summoning lightning bolts, despite there being nothing to fight. <br><br>"Great. You can fight by yourself. But if you keep up that attitude, you're going to get yourself erased. Just because you can use pins without a pact doesn't mean you are any stronger than a regular player, and without a partner backing you up, you'll find yourself in a situation you can't handle alone very quickly." Koji said, crossing his arms over his chest and glaring at the pin that had been shoved in his face. Did this kid know the meaning of the phrase 'personal space'?<br><br>"Hell no, that doesn't mean you can pass." Koji grumbled, blue eyes radiant and stormy at the same time as he shot Daichi a stern look from beneath his red hood. "My conditions are 'have a pact', and if you don't have one, you aren't going anywhere. So you can either get a partner or wait around for another 45 minutes until a reaper comes down here and erases you personally." This kid needed to learn that reapers set the rules, and not only was Koji firm in his job, but he didn't appreciate being chatted with so casually. Yes, he lead a solitary existence, but no, he didn't need anyone stepping into it. All he wanted from Daichi was silence and respect, but mostly silence. <br><br>Lapsing back into silence himself, Koji shoved his hands back into the pocket of his hoodie and leaned back against the brick wall. He stared listlessly at the ground as he blew bubbles with his gum. Until this kid had a pact, Koji was completely and utterly done talking to him. Unless Daichi wanted to be erased personally. It was usually against Koji's ethics, but he just couldn't understand this kid, nor why he had the power to use pins despite being alone. <br></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>

				That was stupid. Why did he need a partner when he could handle things himself? Daichi let out a sigh, it was play by the reaper’s rules or risk being erase and he guessed that finding someone to make a pact with would be easy. The way that the reaper was leaning against the wall made it easy to tell that he was down talking and bothering him anyone would be risky. “Alright, alright. I’ll go find someone.” He glanced over his shoulder toward where he saw that one boy running off toward Hachiko and smirked. That guy was being attacked by those frogs and hopefully he didn’t waste time talking too much for him to get erased by the frogs. “Later.” He gave the guy in the red hoodie a short wave and took off running toward the Hachiko statue as fast as his legs could take him. Finding anyone else could be difficult and if he made a pact with this guy, things would go a lot more smooth…unless he didn’t know how to read either. He was curious what his entry fee was, but decided to ignore that question and continue running. <br><br>By the time he came there, he let out a sigh of relief to see that he was still standing, but those frogs were attacking him and he needed to have them leave. It was time to use that pin again and teach this Noise that they didn’t stand a chance. Daichi closed his eyes and another bold of lightening shot down, zapping around the Noise around his soon to be new partner. All that zapping was kind of making him tired, but ignored it and ran over to him. “Hey, you okay? Damn. That Noise almost got ya. Good thing I have to make a pact or you would’ve been toast.” <br><br>He held out his hand for him to shake, “let’s hurry up and just make a pact now. That way I can show that guy blocking my path to let me in.” It was a little strange to think that he still couldn’t pass by himself, but Daichi figured there was some rule with two people, but at least he had a head start in the game. This pin would really come in handle. <br><br>He held out his palm with the clock on it all over a sudden, shoving it in his face like how he did to the shinigami. “How much time left? C’mon! We gotta get this pact going or we’ll both get erased and I’m not going to get erased at the starting of the game. I’m not gonna get erased at all.” Daichi appeared to believe what he said, but he was silently worried about this game and how things were going to happen. The last thing that Daichi wanted was to be erased and he’d give it his all. <br><br>The sooner they completed whatever the mission was, the sooner that they could rest. “Oh…what does the mission say? That reaper didn’t tell me…but I got a feeling it’s something with a pact and going back to see him.”

"This doesn't look good..." he though to himself, grimacing as he huffed with pain and exertion. <br></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><div class="floatleft">(http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t327/Howl_Radcliff/AnimeBoys/Xade-1.jpg)</div><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list">It had been about two minutes now that he'd been avoiding the noise' attacks, but there were so many and he couldn't hold out much longer. There was no one around with whom he could make a pact either. <br><br>At that moment, suddenly, lightning flew from the sky and zapped the frogs away from him, killing most of them. "What...?" Luke said, straightening and looking around, his brown eyes immediately landing on Daichi, who was clutching a pin in his hand. "I'm fine..." Luke said, but he frowned as he stared at Daichi. The boy was conveniently partnerless, but Luke wasn't sure he liked his attitude. Daichi was acting like Luke would have died without his help. It was probably true, but that didn't mean he had asked for Daichi's help. <br><br>Plus, his next line made it seem like he wanted to make a pact only for himself, to further his own game. "Fuck you. What if I don't want to make a pact with you? Just because you killed those noise... I don't owe you anything." Luke grumbled, running a hand through his sweaty blond hair as he eyed the noise which were beginning to gather again. They were hanging back, as though waiting to see whether Luke would make a pact or not, but they wouldn't wait long, Luke knew. Glaring, Luke recoiled from the hand shoved in his face. <br><br>"Dammit, don't you know anything about personal space? There are about thirty five minutes left. The mission to to get to the 104 building, but I saw some people run that way and I guess the path is blocked. What, can't you read?" Luke said, rolling his eyes as he folded his arms over his chest, staring at the noise which were still amassing. There were quite a few of them now, but they didn't look too strong, individually. <br><br>Glancing back at Daichi, Luke cocked one eyebrow. "What reaper? Must have been by the blocked path, right? I guess it would make sense that he's only letting people with pacts though. They're the only ones that can actually play the game... except for you. You used that pin right? ...That was actually pretty cool." Luke hated to admit it. He didn't really like Daichi that much at this point; the boy seemed incredibly self-serving, and also arrogant, but he could be a strong player, personality faults aside. <br><br>"...Well, if I can't find anyone else, I guess I could make a pact with you," Luke lamented, holding out one hand, the wrist wrapped in a black wristband. "You can call me Luke." He stated, waiting for Daichi to grasp his hand and finalize the pact. Then, they could fight the noise off together, easily, and make their way to 104. The building was only about a four minute walk and they still had thirty minutes. </ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>

				This guy seemed like the most ungrateful person that Daichi could’ve ran into. He was just lucky that he didn’t take off and go look for another partner instead. There was ‘no thanks for saving me’ or nothing and all he did was answer his question. Did he <em>really</em> think that he could handle himself? Daichi was annoyed, but it didn’t show on his face since he was too eager to find out what the hell the message said and complete it before it was game over…for both of them. <br><br>Yesh and talking back like that too. He could always use this pin on another player…right? He sure wanted to right now, but forced himself to pretend he didn’t hear that rude remark, even though it was more difficult then it sounded. “I dunno, I guess you’ll be erased by Noise and I’ll go off and find me a real partner.” Daichi pointed over his shoulder with his thumb as he said this, planning to take off if this other player kept being an asshole to him. Maybe he should’ve just let that Noise take care of him and run off to find someone else. This guy really wasn’t someone he wanted to make a pact with if he kept ranking on him like this. <br><br>“Of course! I just….” He stared down at the clicking timer on his hand, not able to read a signal number on it. Daichi seemed to be forgetting his own “manners,”&nbsp; maybe that’s what the game does to you. He wished that he could read again, but they took it from him…those bastards. He turned his attention to the surrounding Noise, glancing around and clutching his pin tight, ready to use it if he had to…even though he was already getting tired.&nbsp; “104 building…got ya.” He mumbled under his breath and turned his attention back to him, “I can read. I don’t look like it, but I was a total bookworm. I just…it was my entry fee.” Daichi let out a sigh and avoided eye contact with him as he said this. It appeared that admitting he was a bookworm before dying was no trouble, but admitting that they took that ability from him was torture. He could care less if he thought he was some nerd, he wasn’t and it was just books. Reading was his video games, it was just a fun pastime no matter if it was mangas or novels. <br><br>Daichi shrugged at this, “guess so.” He was sure that he was the one blocking the path, he didn’t even try to leave and had a feeling if he tried, he’d only get an invisible wall like the rest without partners did. Daichi looked into the other players eyes and his own were wide in shock. This guy went from being a jerk…to actually being nice in a short amount of time, he probably didn’t want to be erased. “Heh…yeah,” he tossed the pin up into the air and caught it, “I guess it’s pretty cool. The reaper was shocked about it, but damn bastard wouldn’t let me pass. That’s alright, I found you.” He smiled. <br><br>“Daichi.” He clutched his hand and a strange blue light formed around the two, quickly fading as quick as it came. Daichi quickly drew his hand back, “whoa…didn’t expect that.” At least they could take care of this Noise. He glanced at the pin in his hand, wondering what kind that Luke would have and hoping it was just as great as this thunderbolt pin. All that using was starting to get him tired and maybe it was a good idea to draw back now. “Hey…think you can handle them by yourself? I’m just…tired all of a sudden.” That took a lot out of him and now he was wondering if he wasn’t so lucky after all.

				<ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list">"A certified nerd, huh? I can't imagine any of my friends whose most valuable possession is their literacy." Luke said, rolling his eyes a bit. Heck, half of his friend could barely read past the fifth grade level. It was pathetic, really. "Well, I appreciate it. Even though I don't care that much about books, it would really suck not to be able to read at all. I felt that way once when my family went on a vacation to America." Luke shook his head. English was required in all Japanese schools, but he was horrible at it. It was just... so different. The alphabet and everything was too strange and he'd never liked it, which equated to him not learning it very well. It was a mistake since English was so widespread, but he couldn't help it.<br><br>"My entry fee was... uh.. well, the thing is, I can't remember. I'm assuming it was some memories though, cause my memory has a few holes. I'm not sure what of - obviously that was deleted - but I guess whatever it was was really important to me." Luke sounded kind of upset, but he wasn't beating himself up over it too much. Memories were important, but it wasn't like he needed those to survive or lead an ordinary life. Losing the ability to read was much more crippling than forgetting a few things. Thankfully, Luke just took everything important for granted so none of it had been taken away. It would really be horrible to lose any ability like reading, or any sense, such as sight, speech, or hearing. <br><br>The light from their pact was... soothing, in a way. It felt like a bit of a security blanket. At least now, Luke could defend himself if he was attacked. Being helpless to protect yourself was a horrible feeling. "Well, nice to meet you, Daichi. You may not be like my usual crowd, but that's probably for the best anyway. Let's survive this stupid ordeal." Luke said, the shadow of a determined look on his face as he glared at the noise. Even if his life hadn't been amazing, he didn't want it to end quite yet; he was only seventeen. <br><br></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><div class="floatleft">(http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t327/Howl_Radcliff/AnimeBoys/Xade-1.jpg)</div><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list">Caught off guard, Luke shook his head and stared at Daichi when he asked if he could take out the rest of the noise. "What? Weren't you practically just bragging about how you swept in and saved me like some hero? Now you want me to do all the manual labor?" He was just joking of course. Smirking, he continued, "Don't worry about it. I can't fight without a pact like you can, but I'm not a pushover either." Luke wasn't sure why, but once he got over his initial negative impression of Daichi, he kind of liked him. Besides, he would probably end up being a better partner than that screaming girl would have, anyway. At least he could hold up on his own - when he wasn't tired. "You know, if you get exhausted after only thirty minutes of fighting, we could be in trouble in the future. Well... maybe it was just because you were fighting alone. You know, it was probably in your best interest that that reaper didn't let you go through by yourself." Luke suggested, peering at Daichi for a moment. It was in his best interest too, even if he didn't want to admit it. He'd be dead if Daichi hadn't come along. In any case, the surrounding noise had clearly seen enough talk. <br><br>When the pact was formed, some of the weaker enemies had vanished, but the stronger noise were sick of waiting and they took the opportunity to attack. Jumping in front of Daichi, Luke closed his eyes in concentration. His body emitted a soft blue glow and he floated a few inches from the ground as he focused his mental abilities. The air got chilly - which was actually kind of refreshing on a hot summer day like this one - and razor sharp icicles formed in the air in front of Luke. Using his powers, he sent them flying at the noise, piercing and killing most of them instantly. Some of the wolves escaped and one leaped at Luke. He kicked it away karate-style before forming another icicle and killing it. The rest of the noise went down rather easily as well, but Luke decided he shouldn't get cocky. It was still the first day and these noise were the weakest of the weak. Perhaps tomorrow, if they had more time, he and Daichi could practice training and working in sync with each other. <br><br>"Hey... are you okay?" Luke asked, walking back over toward Daichi. He peered at him a moment before glancing at his hand. "Crap... we only have ten minutes left. We'd better book it. C'mon." Luke made sure Daichi was following before he ran off for the Scramble. The noise hadn't been too difficult to kill, but they'd still eaten up some of Luke's precious time. <br><br>Running through the crossing, Luke made his way over toward the red hooded figure - the only man in the area looking suspicious enough to be a reaper. Some golden blonde hair poked out from the shadows of the hood, along with a pair of piercing blue eyes. When Luke made eye contact, he froze for a split second, a sense of familiarity washing over him. He wasn't sure why though - he was certain he'd never met this person before. Frowning, Luke wondered if this was one of the reapers tricks or what. <br><br>"Pact confirmed," he heard a baritone, yet somewhat boyish voice say, as the wall before him disappeared (Luke could see the shimmer in the air as the invisible barrier vanish). <br><br>"Awesome, c'mon, Daichi. Four minutes..." Luke said, running past the reaper without looking back. </ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>

The annoying kid had been gone for nearly half an hour. Koji wasn't sure what was taking him so long, but he could only assume the worst. It didn't really matter that much anyway, he supposed. That player had been different from most - not only in that he could use a pin without a partner, but because he actually approached and talked to a reaper - but Koji hadn't really gotten attached and he wouldn't lament Daichi's erasure too much. He was still curious about that blonde boy but....<br><br>Well, speak of the devil. Who should&nbsp; come tearing up to him but said blonde. Koji stared at the boy with wide blue eyes, meeting Luke's gaze. The player stared at him in surprise, but the familial recognition was fleeting. Instead, a frown twisted Luke's face as he continued to stare and Koji looked away, knowing already what that meant. Besides, that annoying kid was running up now and he didn't want to specifically say anything. "Pact confirmed." Koji mumbled, popping the gum in his mouth as he stared away from the boys and up at commercials being aired on the Q-floor, instead. One was currently playing for new dark chocolate 'men's' pocky. Koji thought it looked good, but he was happy with strawberry pocky (apparently the 'girl's' pocky). Another add started up for Pegaso and Koji rolled his eyes and looked away. Too high-class for his tastes. <br><br>When he looked back to the Scramble, Luke was long gone, having yelled for Daichi... was that that kid's name? ... and continued on toward 104. "Ruki...." Koji mumbled under his breath, sighing softly and glancing at his clock. Only a couple more minutes. No one else was going to make it, but at least five or six pairs had gone past him. Not an awful turnout, all things considered.<br></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>

				“Not all of us book junkies are nerds.” Daichi replied back with a smirk and wagging his finger in front of him, one eye closed in what appeared to be a still wink. He hated school to the core of his being and wanted nothing to do with it, but reading was something that he actually enjoyed and if just reading was enough to be called a nerd…then so be it. He just wished that this wasn’t so humiliating to him and asking others to read to him hadn’t happened since he was a little kid. It bruised his ego, but other than that he was alright. The game was stupid and the thought of being erased at any time was horrible, but playing the game was something he had to do or he’d be erase and giving it his all was better compared to just not trying to being erased that way. “America? Is that why you have an English name?” He was sure that Luke wasn’t Japanese, but it wasn’t strange to have some friends have English names instead. One of his old friends Matt had an English name and he didn’t really mind it. He always thought that only those who would want to get an American citizenship would name their kids something English, but Matt never once went to America. <br><br>Daichi wouldn’t like the thought of having his memories taken from him and whatever they were probably meant a lot to Luke. There was some memories that he would love to be without like when he was sick in the hospital because a rabid dog bit him or the time his first love broke his heart because “he wasn’t into guys” and then there was the time when he had to put his cat down because he was too ill to continue living in pain. Any of those memories he could care less if they were taken, but reapers don’t work that way. “I they were. They only seem to take the good stuff away.” He shrugged at this and let out a sigh, glancing down his hand and trying to read the clock…even though he knew that it was useless. <br><br>“Heh, your not my usual crowd either.” He wouldn’t hang out with nerds or other book junkies like himself, Daichi hung out with the thug crowd. The rest of the tough guys never knew about his love for reading and it was probably a good thing too or he’d be “kicked out” of the group for it. Anytime his friends were coming over and he had a book in his hands, he tossed it aside and pretended he never was reading something in the first place or pretend it was a school assignment. “Oh, nice to meet you too.” <em>I guess,</em> he thought to himself, not sure if he liked his new partner or not. <br><br>If it wasn’t for the fact it was just playful teasing, Daichi probably would’ve smacked Luke. He hated anyone thinking he was weak and this was one of those times, he was just tired from using the pin and probably wasn’t a good idea to show off back there for the reaper. “Yeah, yeah…I know. I think I just over did it.” Was that even possible to do? He wasn’t really sure about it, but it was possible and maybe he just wasn’t use to the feeling of using the pin that made it so exhausting to him. He was just glad that Luke could handle himself for awhile. The reaper must have known that he would’ve been over his head with that pact and wanted him to have a fighting chance, but he was still annoyed that the reaper didn’t let him pass. He just watched as Luke destroyed the Noise around them and was relieved when all of them vanished. It wouldn’t be for long, but it was enough time to get away. <br><br>“Yeah…just kind of tired…like I just wanna sleep.” Daichi shrugged the thought off, knowing sleeping here would only get him killed. “What!? Damnit!” He followed along after him, running as fast as he could back to where that red hooded reaper was. Luke was way ahead of him, but upon passing the reaper and using something that sounded like Ruki, he stopped and looked at him. “Huh. Who’s Ruki?” He asked him. He wanted to know, but it was for the best to keep going since only four minutes didn’t leave him much time to stay around and chat. “Ugh! Later!” Daichi hollered as he looked over his shoulder at the reaper and then straight ahead. He ran after Luke and once they reached the building, was relieved when the clock vanished. “Made it. Just in time too. Think this means we can walk around now without any trouble?”

"I don't really have an English name," he pointed out. Technically, his Japanese name was Ruki. But, his parents and friends all called him Luke. It was because, well, "Look at my hair. Im pure blond. Do you think this is Japanese?" He said, laughing slightly before shaking his head. "Nah, my family is from America. I guess that's why I'm an even bigger disgrace </ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><div class="floatleft">(http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t327/Howl_Radcliff/AnimeBoys/Xade-1.jpg)</div><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list">since I hate and can't understand English..." Luke mumbled, kicking Hachiko's base with one blue and black skater-shoe clad foot. Sometimes his parents spoke English around the house, but Luke had just never learned it. His brother had been a pro, though.... wait, haha... he didn't have...<br><br>"My head hurts. Let's just hurry," Luke grumbled. He could kind of agree with Daichi on the whole wanting to sleep thing. This entire day had been exhausting. Not only because they were fighting in a high stakes game for their lives, but also because they still had to deal with the shock of being dead.&nbsp; Ugh. But thinking had never been one of Luke's strong points and he wasn't going to pull a muscle trying to do it now. Instead he'd focus on the task at hand - running to 104 as quickly as possible. <br><br>Once he arrived at the local mall that the 104 building was, Luke bent over, hands on his knees, as he gasped for air. It hadn't been that far of a run, but he'd put most of his effort into it and the adrenaline was pumping. But - looking at his hand - Luke found that it was all worth it. The timer had vanished. "We did it." He exclaimed, straightening up to look for Daichi - who was just arriving. "Man, do you run slow or what? I've been here for like, ten minutes already." Luke ribbed, smiling wryly. "Anyway, the timer's gone. We're safe for today, man." He couldn't help smiling. It wasn't something he did very often and he knew that it was stupid to get cocky just from beating the first day (seriously, how much easier could it get than walking to a building?) but it felt so good to know they had another day to live. <br><br>"Well, well, welll..." a cool voice said, flitting over them like the shadow of a crow. A black haired woman, clothed in a gothic black dress accentuated by blue ribbons, said as she approached them. On her back stood a prominent pair of black reaper's wings. The woman, moderate in stature, smirked as she approached the pair and placed her hands on her hips. "What do we say I give you two a little treat for being the last pair to make it through...?" She giggled as she summoned a black, red, and yellow rhino noise. It roared and stomped it's feet, nostrils flaring as it stared the players down. "Aw, it knows what it's dinner is going to be. Well, I'll leave you to it." She blew Luke and Daichi a kiss before laughing and disappearing back into the shadows. <br><br>"Dammit, a boss battle." Luke grumbled, smirking at the shadow of irony in that statement. It was definitely like a boss battle on a videogame, but why did they have to deal with it? "We have the worst luck. Good news though - I think she has the hots for you." Luke teased as he began trying to concentrate on summoning his ice powers.<br></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>

				Daichi eyed the hair and then looked at him, “I just thought you were part Japanese like me.” His father was American and his mother Japanese. His skin he inherited from his father and his blonde hair he inherited from his mother. It was strange to see anyone that was Asian with blonde here like Daichi, but at least he found someone else that was. “From America? Oh. I see now.” He smiled, but still was glad that he had someone to relate with. “English is hard. I still struggle with it.” He sighed, trying to lighten Luke’s mood a little bit, but he was sure that wasn’t going to help. <br><br>“Not slow. Just checking out that reaper there, he’s kind of weird.” More like <em>really</em> weird, but Daichi was too tired to really care at all. Still, he was curious to know who Ruki was and why the reaper randomly said it. Probably not even work thinking about and he could always talk to him again another time. “That’s good to hear. I can use a rest.” The pin was making was powerful, but it also drained most of his energy just using it. Hopefully a rest was just the thing he needed to hop back on his feet and tomorrow wouldn’t be so bad. He couldn’t wait until they won this game and were able to go back among the living. Being dead was no fun and the thought of losing was also no fun. This was the worst game ever and it was tiring too. <br><br>The voice startled him and he looked over to see another reaper. Daichi didn’t like the sound of that one bit, either she was kinky or…when the rhino Noise suddenly appeared, he knew what she was talking about. Daichi bit his bottom lip to know that they’d be able against the Noise and he was too tired to continued fighting. This Noise could be the end of them if he didn’t do something about it and Daichi wasn’t sure if Luke could possibly handle what he said was a boss [like in some video game] all by himself. The thing looked rather strong and they’d both be toast if Daichi couldn’t take this monster alone. <br><br>He glanced down at the thunderbolt pin in his hand and clutched onto it, this was going to make him more exhausted and he was sure of this…but it would be worse if he didn’t step up now. Daichi let out a yell this time as he called forth the thunder to strike down the quickly approaching rhino and although it was much higher up and should’ve been a team effort, the Noise vanished and down went Daichi. The blonde was able to catch himself before he could hit against the pavement, on his hands and knees gasping for air. That took too much out of him and it was stupid, but worth it. They could rest now and not have to worry about it, but Daichi was going to take a nap sooner than expected. <br><br>“Ugh…damnit!” The world around him was starting to get blurry and spots were starting to appear in front of his eyes. He tried to snap out of it, but he went too far on the first day with that powerful pin and couldn’t keep himself awake anymore. Daichi closed his eyes and his legs and hands gave in as unconscious swept over him.

He and Daichi were getting tired and it looked incredibly strong. Biting his lip, Luke knew that he'd just have to do anything it took to survive, and that was all. If he had to use up all of his energy until he was on the brink of death, he would, just for that chance to keep fighting tomorrow. Damn reaper woman anyway. <br><br>Daichi seemed to be thinking the same thing as he was and he stepped forward before Luke could do anything, pin clutched in his hand. Luke watched the intense expression of concentration that crossed Daichi's face, a bit concerned. A huge lightning bold shot out of the sky, searing the air as it traveled downward and collided with the noise. The rhino was vaporized. Luke could only watch in shock and amazement. Daichi was really that good?<br><br>But... the victory didn't come without a cost. The blond boy was reeling and Luke dived forward, catching him in his arms as he fell. He scraped his knee on the concrete, but that was pushed out of his mind as he stared at his partner, who was all but limp in his hands. "Jesus." Luke mumbled, holding Daichi a bit closer and staring around for any more reapers. Thankfully, there were no more enemies, noise or reapers, to be spotted. That was a good thing, since Luke doubted he could take on much more with Daichi out cold. <br><br>Even though all he was doing was kneeling on the ground, holding Daichi, Luke began to feel extremely dizzy and tired himself. Before he'd even realized what was going on, he keeled forward over Daichi, unconscious. His head landed in the crook of Daichi's shoulder, nose pressed close to the other boy's collar bone and his blond hair tickling Daichi's cheek. It would have looked absolutely adorable, if this wasn't such a serious situation. <br><br></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>

				“Aww! Isn’t that cute!” Kuran chuckled slightly as he stood atop of the 104 building to see the unconscious players down below. One was in the other’s arms and the other one was hutched over on him. It really was a picture perfect moment and the reaper could’ve killed to see the two of them locking lips with one another instead of one learning over just below the other’s collarbone. At least it was still cute, but there was something that confused him while watching the fighting take place. How did that one player have enough power to take that on powerful Noise by himself and win with just one attack? It was unheard of and very confusing, but he decided to shake it off for now and see how his favorite lower class reaper was doing on the first day of another game and he couldn’t wait to see him. <br><br>He jumped off the large building, his wings flapping slightly to keep him steady and he landed gently on the ground. The reaper looked over at the two again and smirked before starting to back his way over toward the Scramble where Koji would be since that was his assigned place for today. “Koji, Koji Boji beji, banana banda foe feji, fee fi foji, Koji…Koji!” The game name was a little thing that he found out about a couple days ago and it was a lot of fun, so he decided to sing it as he ran up behind Koji and smiled at the reaper with a twinkle in his eyes. Clearly, he was here to have some fun again and flirt around with him again. <br><br>“Ah, Koji! You took handsome as always and that sweatshirt really suits you. Another game and another swipe of players. Doesn’t it excite you like you excite me?” Kuran laughed at this as he wrapped an around Koji and pulled him close. “I saw the cutest thing on my way here. Two players snuggling up. Hmm…that one player has to be cheating somehow…how the hell can he defeat that Noise by himself?” He wondered out loud and let out an annoyed sigh. “Oh well, at least the first day will be over soon and until then, we can have some fun.”

				<ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list">Well, that was it. The mission was officially over for the day. Seven pairs had made it through out of the countless number of players who'd been there initially. Well, it was no surprise, really. Lots of players didn't understand was was going on, or couldn't accept it, and they were killed before they even had a chance. <br><br>All of a sudden, Koji heard a familiar (yet irritating) voice singing out his name and various versions of it with different letters replacing the K. "Boji?" Koji asked as Kuran walked up to him. "Why is it that everyone I meet is annoying as sin?" Koji asked, although he was just joking. </ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><div class="floatleft">(http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t327/Howl_Radcliff/AnimeBoys/punk-guyprince-1-1.jpg)</div><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list"><ul class="bbc_list">Honestly, if he didn't have someone lighthearted like Koji around him, the grim nature of the game would probably have caused him to lose his mind long ago. The incessant compliments didn't hurt his ego, either. "Oh yes, I'm extremely excited," Koji said in the most monotone voice he could manage, before a smirk broke across his face and he rolled his eyes. Kuran knew he didn't care too much for the game.<br><br>"You know the only reason I'm serving as a reaper is so that I can lead a double life in the RG." Unlike players, reapers could pass into the RG, sans the wings. Many of them made very successful double lives, such as 777, who was the lead singer in an RG band. Koji could care less about the stupid game. In fact, a secret that even Koji didn't know was that the only reason Koji had become a reaper was because he'd been playing the game and had come across a boss he just couldn't kill. Rather than face erasure, Koji, like a coward, pleaded with the reaper to let him join their ranks. He'd been allowed in. The only condition was... well, since he hadn't technically won the game, his entrance fee had been lost forever. <br><br>Koji sighed heavily. Thinking about that always darkened his mood. He paused then, for a moment, as though just realizing what Kuran had said, even though he'd already been done talking for a few moments. 'Doesn't it excite you like you excite me?'.....&nbsp; Koji smiled weakly at Kuran. "Have you no shame?" Koji teased lightly. He took the gum out of his mouth and rolled it up in an old wrapper before sticking it back in his pocket.<br><br>"Yeah, I saw that player. He was killing noise on his own before he even had a pact. I wonder how he does it..." The reapers could kill noise without a partner, but Koji had always assumed it was just something that came with being a reaper, like the wings and the ability to summon noise in the first place. He didn't know that reapers' pins were different from those of the players. Lots of the reapers probably didn't know. It wasn't like the boss explained that to them when they were given their pins. <br><br>He just hoped that whatever Daichi was doing, he didn't end up getting himself disqualified from the game. If he did that, then Ruki would be hung out to dry... <br><br>"Well, anything you want to do before tomorrow then? All of the players should be asleep by now," which meant that the reapers were free to enjoy the rest of their days. Unlike the players, they didn't go unconscious when the mission for the day reached it's end. "I think I would like to go check out the library and see if there is a newspaper with one of that player's obituary..." He didn't mean Daichi, but he was interested in Daichi as well. <br></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>
