Warnings: This story full with blood, murderer and plot that might be unsuitable for you who hate this kind of stuff. For you who ever read my fics before, THIS STORY is different from what I ever wrote.

                After escape from the gang’s sight, Sho and Nino finally reach a large park with green plants motive. Realize that Ohno can’t continue move anymore, they immediately enter it and look for a spot that suitable to hide their presence. It takes few minutes until they found a metal fence which is the divider of a pond and the park. The three of them later walk closer with the metal fence before carefully help Ohno to sit and lean on it. After ensure the eldest guy comfortable with his current position, Nino moves his hand to check for the other one temperature. Soon, he worriedly looks at Sho who still stands next to him.

“His fever is getting worse.”

“It’s better if we just stay here. Ohno-san needs some rest.”

“…No.”

The other two worriedly move closer when he suddenly coughs.

“If we just stay here, those guys before will found us anytime.”

“They will not if we just stay silence here. You’re not only sick but also bleeding pile of blood. Plus, Sakurai-san still can’t move around so much or his wound will open again. It’s better if we just take some rest now.”

The pale face of Sho and Nino perhaps because of tired and cold proves the rightness of those words. Finally, Ohno agrees and watch Sho and Nino move to also lean on the fence side by side with him. The three of them just stay in silence until Ohno realizes the two younger guys already fall asleep. Slowly, he lifts his shirt a bit and let out a small hiss by the sight of wound from gunshot on it. He then let a whimper out before uses his hand to slightly push the injury.

‘…Few more hours to go.’

Couldn’t endure his tired and dizziness anymore, Ohno finally follows Sho and Nino to drift into deep slumber. The three of them have no idea how long already pass until sound of guys’ are talking with each other approach them. Know who exactly the voices owner, they hurriedly want to leave the place but it’s already too late when the guys already surround them.

“Finally gotcha’.”

“You will not get anything at all from us. And if the police is coming here soon, you guys dead.”

“We will leave after finish you guys. It’s unfortunate, but you’ve seen our face and know that we’ve gun with us.”

His words make Ohno starts to feel uneasy. Slow but carefully, the eldest move to stand in front Sho and Nino.

“Are you trying to cover them? Your situation is much worse, you know?”

The gang laugh which makes Sho and Nino immediately look at Ohno in confuse.

“Ohno-san, it’s-”

“The sky.”

The two guys behind him frown. As they look up, they surprise by the slightly blue sky above them.

“It’s already morning. We just need to bear with this a little bit more.”

All of sudden, one of the thug runs toward them while raises his metal pipe highly which later makes Ohno unexpectedly moves forward as well. After doges the other one’s attack, Ohno uses all his might to push the thug onto the ground. The thug clumsily tries to get up, but falls back when Ohno purposely does something to make the other thugs there mad.

“HOW DARE YOU KICK HIS HEAD?!!”

Several guys immediately surround the already injure Ohno and give numerous blow until their victim falls weakly on the ground with a yelp. The brutal scene almost drags Sho and Nino to run and save him, but Ohno’s audible shout for tell them to stay still put them into hesitant situation. There’s no doubt anymore that Ohno purposely makes the gang mad to prevent them from become their target. Soon, they startle by Ohno’s wail when one of the ruthless guys stomps on his bleeding wound.

“I can’t stand with this anymore.”

Quickly, the eye patch guy makes his move to one of the thug and gives a hard punch on face. Sho doesn’t take so much time to follow him. Later, the two guys struggle against the gang while try their best to approach the half-life Ohno. The fighting however makes the stitch on Sho’s wound to open again. When Sho abruptly stops by the pain, one of the guys nearby suddenly gives a hard hit accurately on the wound which forces Sho to fall on the ground immediately.

“Sakurai-san!”

Blood slowly dirty the ground under Sho. While Ohno tries to gain all might to get up, Nino quickly moves to help Sho before someone hits his head with something hard from behind.

“Where are they?”

Jun starts to panic when they still can’t found Ohno, Sho or Nino anywhere. Aiba besides him already drives for a very long time and he realizes the deaf guy might passes out anytime soon because of lacking of blood. Even the seat that Aiba’s leaning on already damps with the red fluid while his own blood from the stab already dirties the car’s floor.

“It’s getting brighter.”

Aiba’s mumble immediately makes Jun to look at the sky. The electronic clock in the car is currently defective and they’ve no idea what time it currently is. After enter for almost every part of the city, Aiba soon drives to a green park which is a bit far away. Right after they reach the park’s entrance, Aiba finally stops the car and leans his forehead on the steering wheel. Jun who sits beside just stares him worriedly; slightly blames himself for being useless or he perhaps can offers to switch place with Aiba. He then looks outside of the front mirror to the park’s entrance. Surprise by the sight of Ohno’s guardian is staring them from inside there, Jun immediately shakes Aiba’s arm and signs him to look at the same direction of his. Later, Aiba quickly reaches for the gear and gains all his might before immediately drives into the park; breaks whatever park’s rules that state outside. As he speeds in full pace inside there, Jun suddenly pats his arm.

“Continue with this speed.”

The deaf guy frowns before turns to the front again. The sight that comes into his eyes make him grip hardly on the steering before increase the car’s speed; attempt to hit the killer of his brother who are now having fun torture the three persons they’re currently looking for all this time.

“What’s that sound?”

The leader of the gang frowns by sound of something crush and trees’ crack sound with his hand still harshly grabs Nino’s bang to make the eye patch guy looks up at him. As soon as he looks at the park’s entrance route, his eyes snap open by the two known faces inside it.

“It’s going to hit us!”

All his people panicky run from the car’s path. Suddenly, he hears Nino chuckles below him.

“You’re not going to dodge it?”

All of sudden, Nino pulls away from the thug’s leader grip before jumps aback. A second elapses and the car Aiba is driving of slightly bumps into the leader and few thugs there as they only run to save themselves in a very last moment. Soon, the car hardly hit the divider metal fence and abruptly stops. Small smoke and hisses sound slowly comes from the front side of it.

“Finally…”

Jun leans his head on the seat and sighs. Later, he turns to Aiba who has his face on the steering with eyes closes. The younger guy can see a red droplet flows to the deaf guy’s nape with lot of blood still comes out from his back which makes him realizes that maybe the first gunshot of the night actually hits Aiba’s back.

“You did it well, Aiba-san.”

No response from the other one. It however doesn’t make him to feel worry as he still can hears the unconscious guy’s breathing sound. Suddenly, both his and Aiba’s doors slam open from outside.

“You guys are so stubborn.”

Harshly, the thug grips Jun’s hair before drags him forcefully out; totally ignores the painful screams from the other one when his broken legs hardly fall onto the ground. The thug then mercilessly drags Jun to the wide space where some of the thugs currently surround Nino who lies weakly on the ground.

“What happen to you?”

The paralyze guy looks up with only elbows as support. He breathes heavily at the moment he sees Nino’s worse condition with blood and bruises on every part of face and body. Soon, he looks at Sho who now weakly leans on the metal fence with Ohno on his lap; coughing an amount of blood from mouth. Sho’s right hand is shivering hardly with one of his eyes close when blood from the wound on his head flow down to his eye and cheek.

“We’re glad you guys still alive.”

“Shut up!”

Another punch hits Nino’s face mouth; makes the eye patch guy to falls back on the ground with blood spills out from his mouth. Just when the thugs want to stomp on him again, a sudden shout stop them.

“STOP IT!”

Everyone there turn to him immediately. With a small whine, Aiba immediately uses his hand to pushes his hurting body out from the driver’s seat which soon makes him fall forward on the ground as soon as his feet steps outside. The sight makes the gang laugh mockingly for the deaf guy. Deep inside, Aiba curses himself for couldn’t do anything anymore as his body already run out of energy when he can’t forces his body to get up at all.

“So you guys actually know each other, huh?”

The thug then approaches Jun before grabs his wrist and takes a close up on it. He later looks at Aiba, Nino and finally Sho and Ohno.

“Is this the symbol of your gang? Cool tattoo, but sadly it belongs to someone weak like you guys.”

At the same time, Ohno flinches by the guy’s words. Finally remember with the power of his mark, he tremblingly moves his hand to the ground and tries to concentrate to use the mark for burn the gang. Unfortunately, nothing happens.

‘I’ve no energy to use it anymore.’

He coughs out blood again. Sho who is above him immediately moves to push Ohno’s wound with his left hand; tries to prevent from more blood comes out. Just if the thug doesn’t stomps and breaks his right hand with a large stone before, he maybe can do much than it. Soon, the gang’s leader says something that the most last thing they hope to become real.

“Let’s send them off one by one.”

His people cheer happily. Aiba who is the only can’t listen anything senses something bad will happen when the leader suddenly looks at him with a smirk.

“We’ll start from that poor deaf boy first.”

“No! Wait!”

Jun clumsily tries to move when his former gang moves to approach Aiba. As he gives all his best to use his hands for drag his useless legs along, Ohno and Sho immediately try to get up from their current position. Nino fortunately moves faster by strongly pulls the leader’s leg.

“Let go of me NOW.”

Unexpectedly, the guy below him just chuckles.

“You think I’m going to follow your words?”

He receives a kick on face by it. Suddenly, the leader grabs for his bang again before smirks creepily on him.

“What’s behind this eye patch?”

Nino’s expression changes. Suddenly, the thug above him harshly snaps the eye patch away which makes Nino to closes his already blind eye immediately.

“There’s nothing fun by doing something to my blind eye.”

“Oh? So it’s blind?”

The rest half-life guys include Ohno start to panic when the thug’s leader suddenly asks his people for a knife. Later, the thug puts the sharp tip of his knife right above Nino’s only working eye.

“What if I make this one blind as well?”

Nino’s eye grows wider.

“No! Stop it!”

“I beg you! DON’T-!”

SLASH!

Blood splashes on the leader’s hand before Nino immediately falls on back with a loud wail. The other four struggle to move their already on limit body when Nino moves to cover his already bleeding eye with his hand.

“NINOMIYA-SAN!”

“Ninomiya-san! Calm down!”

However, the blind guy just continues to scream painfully. As much as each of them want to approach Nino, their body doesn’t want to give any cooperate at all. Meanwhile, tears already flow down from Ohno’s eyes. Instead of help and protect them, he is now useless and becomes the rest burden. Just if he doesn’t have high fever and pay more caution so he will not get shot back then, this is never going to happen. He almost gives up before he found his guardian quietly stares at them not far from there. The guardian also notices his gaze and immediately walks to approach the guy who he should protect.

“WHERE ARE YOU FOR ALL THIS TIME?!!!”

Aiba angrily snaps with a droplet of tears flows out to his cheek as seeing Nino’s and others’ condition is already too much for him to bear with it. However, Lord Yamashita just ignores it and calmly continues his step to Ohno.

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING BEFORE?!!”

The guardian still doesn’t say anything. Finally, he stops right in front of Sho. As he brings his eyes to Ohno who is now barely can breathe, he smiles.

“Your hard work is going to pay off.”

Angry with the sudden interruption, the gang’s leader immediately steals the gun from one of his people hold and shot Yamashita. However, he surprise when there’s nothing happen to the unknown guy at all.

“Who the hell are you?!”

One of the thugs there suddenly shouts. However, the guardian just calmly looks at him before turns to his master on Sho’s lap.

“I’m sorry for drag you along with this.”

Ohno smiles bitterly. Slowly, he looks at each of his comrades there starting from Sho, Jun, Aiba and finally Nino.

“You guys were doing great.”

The words make Nino stops from whining and heavily pants. The tone that Ohno uses is weak, but quite reassure. Suddenly, Ohno coughs amount of blood out from his throat again which cause few droplets of it dirties Sho’s face. Ohno’s critical condition make the four guys panic, but with their situation to not capable of doing anything, they only can see Ohno’s eyes slowly close. Nino who is now only can relies on his hearing sense starts to feel something wrong when Ohno’s breathe which is supposed to be heavy before suddenly getting weaker. Later, he hears no breathe sound anymore from the older one.

“Ohno-san?”

Sho however gets no answer. Panick by it, he immediately shakes Ohno’s body; tries to wake the older one up. He and the rest continuously beg for Ohno to open his eyes again or at least response to them. Unfortunately, the other one just remains still.

“Yamashita! Do something! You’re his guardian, right?!”

“Don’t just watch him like that!”

“What the hell is going on?!”

The guardian just keeps lock his mouth with his eyes still not leaves the already gone Ohno.

“I can’t do anything if Ohno-sama is the one who want to involve with this matter. Day three is a limit for me as his guardian. If there’s anything happen to him, there’s nothing I can do.”

Sho’s eyes grow wider.

“What do you mean?”

“Though Ohno-sama knew about this, he still comes to help you guys. I bet he realizes that he might lose his life too.”

The four of them become speechless. Their brain somehow stops functions and everything like currently stop. Suddenly, a soft breeze blow to the area which soon changes Yamashita’s body bit by bit to cherry blossom petals. Jun’s former gang who also watch the moment completely dumbstruck before take few step aback because of the ridiculous sight.

“What…happen to you?”

The guardian just smiles.

“I fail from the given mission to protect Ohno-sama. He’s death now, so that means I’ll disappear too.”

Jun frowns.

“That’s why he apologizes to you before? He knows that you’ll also disappear if he’s dead.”

The guardian just chuckles. As part by part of his body changes into pink petals and blow by the soft breeze, he now almost completely lost from their sight.

“If you know this will happen, why you don’t stop him?”

Yamashita unexpectedly just smiles. Soon, the guardian disappears; together with the petals in air. All eyes there just watch it silently as they completely dumbstruck for say anything. Only a moment later, they startle by sounds of something getting closer to them from the other part of the city.

“Police…siren?”

Sho and Jun turn to him immediately.

“You can hear it?”

“Ah…yeah. Clearly. I-I can hear you guys too.”

All guys there surprise by it. Suddenly, Aiba let out a sigh before slowly uses his hands to push his body from the ground. At the time he fully stands up, he touches his back head before moves slightly his body.

“It doesn’t hurt at all.”

“W-What’s going on here?”

The thugs fearfully take few steps behind. After watches Aiba’s sudden recovers, Sho immediately tries to move his right hand which soon make him surprise when there’s no pain even when he tightly grasps his hand. He then touches his bleeding wound on his shoulder and notices there’s no soreness although his shirt still damp by the blood. Of course the situation makes the thugs confuse. Soon, they hear Nino suddenly laugh before sits up on the ground.

“What’s so funny?!”

However, the currently blind guy just smirks before wipes the blood stain on his right eye. He soon suddenly opens his eyes and returns the guy above him stares.

“Seems, I just got my perfect vision back.”

Now, the gang completely becomes panic. They immediately grab for all of their weapon that which some of it still have blood stain from their previous blow. While readily use it to injure the 4 alive guys in front them and maybe at the same time protect them in case the guys decide to attack them back, they move inch by inch backward. Jun who just still lay weakly on stomach since while ago only stay silence before brings his gaze to the fire mark on his wrist. With a smile, he immediately pushes his body up. The thugs meanwhile gape in surprise when they see Jun can easily stand by his feet again all of sudden.

“We made it.”

He looks up and brings his gaze to the other three with a glad smile. When his gaze stops on Ohno, he grits teeth and grasp his single black fire mark hand tightly. The guy sacrifices his own life for them and like what Yamashita say before; his hard work to ensure they survive the game is indeed pay off.

“No wonder Ohno-san had not even a single scar after won this game.”

Immediately, Nino gets up and looks at the group of already pale guys in front him without any fear.

“Seems, everything will return to normal if we survive.”

“W-What are you guys saying?”

“I guess you guys also already lost of ‘deciding someone’s death’ power already.”

Fearfully, one of the thugs there steals the gun from their leader’s hold and aims it to Jun. He then immediately pulls the trigger; attempts to kill the former gang. It however fails when a young man suddenly appears in front Jun and becomes a living shield. Surprise by it; the shooter’s hand starts to shiver. The young man on the other hand suddenly smirks before shows him the bullet that he almost uses to kill Jun between his fingers.

“I return this to you.”

He swings his hand and the bullet emerges the thug’s body immediately.

“WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON NOW?!”

The leader starts to panic by his people sudden painful wail. Pride however still dominates their mind as they soon run suddenly toward Aiba and Nino and try to perfectly murder the two guys this time. Just when they almost reach a step closer with their target, something suddenly feel like stuck in their throat which soon cause them to throw up and dirtying the grass under them. Sighting the horrified scene, the leader clumsily reaches for gun which is lying not far from him. He wants to aim it to someone, but with what just happen to his people when they try to attack Aiba, Nino and Jun, he realizes it will turn out bad for him. Soon, his eyes catch Sho who still leans on the metal fence with Ohno on his lap and aims to the guy’s head immediately. Sho unexpectedly just returns his gaze calmly.

“Just do anything necessary to him.”

Suddenly, the thug’s leader feels something sharp and shining in front his throat. As he slowly looks beside him, he surprise by a sight of a spectacles guy is smirking at him.

“As you wish, Sakurai-sama.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 years pass after the dead or alive game. After walks for few minutes in a large cemetery, Jun and his sister finally stops in front of their parents’ tombstone. Both of the siblings then clasp their hand; grant a pray for their late parents. All of sudden, Jun feels his phone vibrates inside his pocket; indicates for a new incoming message. As he shoves it out, his expression dramatically changes into a serious one. Soon, the younger brother looks at his sister from the phone’s screen and gains a smile from the older one.

“Before you go, let me tell you something.”

He frowns.

“You didn’t kill mom and dad. Both dad and mom’s Shinigami cooperates on possessed you to murder them back then. The police knew about it, so they didn’t arrest you.”

“Shinigami?”

Jun looks at her in surprise.

“Wait. Is that means…?”

“Yeah. Dad and mom fail from survive. They probably will fight back for us, but the Shinigami was too sneaky by use you to kill dad and mom instead. I actually don’t believe it though the police did explain about it and even show me the black fire mark on their wrist before their funeral took place. For the entire years I thought they just gave excuses, but after the day when I found you guys with that mark, I finally realized it is real.”

For a while, Jun feels like his breathe suddenly stops. As he looks at his mark, his brain tries hardly to digest what his sister just says. Later, he looks up with full of confusion.

“Why you don’t tell me earlier?”

“Cause I thought what the police said was ridiculous. Besides, I’m afraid you’ll blame yourself more and thought that I just said it to make you feel better.”

He swallows bitterly. However, he couldn’t think more when his sister suddenly pats his shoulder.

“But you did it, Jun. You back safely and alive, right?”

She gives him an encouragement smile. Meanwhile, Jun just stay silence; tries to calm down before turns to look at their parents’ grave. The game is indeed cruel, but at the same time it makes them aware with how important every life is. That’s why he doesn’t want anyone to give up from surviving, just like what Ohno felt when protect them before.

“I’ll leave now, ne-chan.”

He says as he looks at his sister who already smiles with a nod. Jun then immediately runs from the cemetery to fulfill the responsibility that he and the rest will take care of after survive 3 years ago.

Nino stops from steps forward and quietly stares one side of the hospital’s rooftop with a banquet of floor in his arms. There’s also few banquets flower lay exactly on the place where the poor lady died on his laps few years ago. With a deep breath, he approaches the spot, crouch down before put the flower his brings with other banquets there. As he silently prays for her, he hears sound of someone approaches from behind.

“You’re so kind for still remember about the lady and come here every year for pay a visit, Ninomiya-sama.”

He doesn’t give any response with the guardian behind. Only after he finishes his pray and gets up slowly from the floor, he finally looks at his suppose to be Shinigami 3 years ago.

“I don’t know if I should blame you or myself for causing her to pass away like this.”

The guardian just smiles.

“The doctor told you and Matsumoto-sama before that she was became like that cause she’s too depress for just lost her baby, wasn’t it?”

“She WOULDN’T go too far until attack us if not because of you, right?”

“You know that when we possessed anyone, that person can’t talk or react with his or her surroundings. And this poor lady did say something to you that night wasn’t it? Means, I actually don’t possess her at all back then. It’s your fault for become the reason of her death.”

However, the old guardian frowns when Nino suddenly chuckles bitterly.

“Though you’re not my Shinigami anymore, you still can’t stop from try to make me feel terrible until now. You’re trying to wreck my spirit for move one by says it so I’ll always bring guilty feelings with me for become the cause of her death right?”

He sees his guardian raises eyebrow.

“You don’t exactly possess her. You’re encouraged her to mad about her baby’s death.”

“You’re clever than I thought.”

“Let me tell you something. I’ll not be depress not matter how many times you try to attack me in psychologically way, so it’s better for you to stop from doing that.”

After finish to spill out what he wants to say, Nino immediately walks back to the rooftop’s door. The guardian meanwhile just watches his movement until Nino almost reaches for the doorknob.

“Lord Yamashita was right.”

Nino turns around immediately.

“You guys survive cause you guys have something that other past survivors haven’t and even we as Shinigami can’t beat it. I bet that’s also why Akira-san chooses to loyal to Sakurai-sama.”

“You know what the ‘something’ is?”

The guardian shrugs.

“It’s something that can surpass grudge, hatefulness and self-centred.”

He couldn’t finish when the phone in his back pocket suddenly chimes. After flips it open and reads it, Nino immediately looks up back to his guardian. Finally, it’s time for them to continue what Ohno began 3 years ago.

“Is there anything beyond those so humanism?”

Nino opens the door before turns to look at his guardian behind with a smile.

“Yeah. Forgiveness.”

“Thanks for your hard work, Aiba-kun. See you later.”

“Good work, chief!”

He waves to the manager of convenience store which also supposes to be his late younger brother’s supervisor almost 4 years ago. Quickly, he makes his move to the nearer flower’s store. After buys a banquet of lily, he walks to the large park which is the place where Ohno struggles to make sure the four of them to live until the last moment of his life. 15 minutes later, he finally reaches the already fix metal fence.

“Guess I’m the last one.”

Aiba sighs by the sight of three lily banquets exactly on the place where Ohno was dead in front of them back then. Calmly, he puts his lilies together with the rest before closes his eyes and grants a pray. Ohno fights together with them and even doesn’t mind to gamble his own life for strangers like them who even police doesn’t dare to give any protection.

“You’re the initiator of all this. We’ll make sure people know it one day. Definitely.”

Slowly, he opens his eyes and smiles.

“You can rest now, Ohno-san. After suffered for a very long time alone, you deserve it. Leave everything on us.”

For a while, he just stares the lilies in front him quietly. Soon, he hears sound of someone approaches the place.

“Did someone passed away there before?”

Aiba looks up and nods to the high school boy who is standing not far from him. As he gets up from the ground, the younger guy immediately walks to the nearby bench and sits on it. Both of them don’t say anything until Aiba suddenly moves to sit next to the other one.

“You skip school?”

“It’s bored after all. They’re deciding for class trip before we graduate. I prefer to hang out here only.”

He receives a hum from Aiba as response.

“How about you? You come here to pray for that person?”

“Yeah. It’s already 3 years pass after he death.”

Their conversation stops by sudden ringtone from Aiba’s phone. Immediately, Aiba takes out his phone and read his new message which makes the guy beside him notices about the black mark on his wrist.

“That’s cool. Fire tattoo?”

The older one just chuckles before shoves the phone back into his pocket. Soon, he gets up before turns to look at the school guy again.

“You better go to the school’s trip, you know. It’s going to rain for few days and you can’t do anything if you stay here.”

“Eh? But it supposes to be sunny today.”

“Soon, it won’t. Better to go back to your school now. You still can make it right?”

He smiles when the other one starts to frown. As soon as he looks away to his guardian who is staring the two of them from while ago, his gaze immediately change into a serious one. Aiba then hurriedly run from there; leaves the younger guy alone who is still staring on him. Soon, the school guy catches a glimpse of a lady in kimono passes beside him before suddenly disappear when he turns to look for a better view.

“Thanks for let me interview you, Sakurai-san.”

The journalist gets up from chair and bows to the sitting guy. Sho immediately gets up and follows his action. After watches the other one leave the café where his interview just takes place, he calmly sits back on his chair. As he looks outside of the café, he observes the walking pass people thoughtfully. 3 years ago he decides to seek for the truth of what Nino tells him about the fraud that the company he works at was hiding since several years ago. He admits that it’s actually quite hurting when he finally knows how sneaky the company actually is, but after he reveals the proof he somehow feels like a huge burden disappears from his shoulders. Few weeks later, the company totally loses its reputation and business just in a blink of eyes which later become a huge scoop in newspapers and televisions.

‘It seems like it’ll be raining soon.’

The memory of the cruel game appears in his mind again. At first, he still wonders how come he can survive after falls from the metal stairs before, but the decision of Ohno’s guardian for not stopping his Sir and conversely let the guy to save them that night makes him realize. A pure Shinigami will not reborn though they succeed to kill their apprentice, so rather than murdering, they’re more interested to see how strong their apprentice’s eagerness to survive and going to do with the immunity after win it later.

‘No wonder the tone he used before I fell from the stairs sounds like he doubts me.’

Sho takes a sip of his coffee immediately. At the same time, he accidently listens to the conversation from the next table.

“Shinigami’s game?”

“What is it? Let me read it.”

The female college student immediately gives her phone to her friend. Her friend also frowns when there’s no sender’s name of the message.

“It just a prank message. A lame one.”

Immediately, Sho puts the cup back and flips open his phone which he lays on the table in front him. After the game over, the four of them sometimes meet each other and they decide to hide as much as they can about the fact that they ever involve in the game before. Fortunately, only a cop and Jun’s sister know about them which makes everything easier for them.

“It finally begins.”

After sends his message to the rest, he immediately shoves his phone back inside his pocket. Soon, he exchange glance with his guardian who is staring at him from the reflection of the café’s glass and walks to the new victims of another round Shinigami’s game.

After years, they finally realize about the reason of the game.

They’re not exactly fighting against the Shinigami. They’re actually battling with their desire to stay live 3 years ago. Thanks to Ohno Satoshi, they able to survive till the end despite of the awfulness. And from now on, they will continue Ohno’s battle to help and struggle for the other like them.

Until one day when the game finally over.
