Ahoho... sorry for waiting.
From now, I could only update one week once, due to the school time.
Maybe sometimes update 2. One is the chapter, one is side story.
So this is chapter four. Hope you'll like it.
BEGINNER
Game 4: Stand up, together.
In the beginning everything was dark. The lights were off and no sound could be heard. No one could know how long it had been like that or even what was inside of such darkness. Then suddenly the lights went on. The background was pure white and a girl, whose head was down, slowly lifted. Her name was well known and she was the ultimate captain. The core of the group, the soul of it.
She lifted her head, with dark blue eyes and a face wearing a deadly serious expression. Not her usual serious face, but a sadistic serious one with those eyes shaping a look that could kill without feeling remorse. She was dressed in white and had headphones covering her ears. They were also white and there was a half done tie around her bare naked neck.
The second she blinked the room changed. It was now all black again, only this time we could see her.
The collar on her neck appeared. Various tubes started to connect to her collar instantly, as she picked out the names of the player
“So, the name of this game... Beginner is it?”
Still wearing the serious expression, she nodded silently.
“Hmm… quiet interesting… you sure had a creative mind eh, human?”
“I wanted them to suffer. I wanted them to know, there are hopes around…”
“Speak, human. You gain my attention.” Ryuu smiled as she flipped the ‘files’ in her hands.
“… but if they don’t fight for it, they will end up losing it… and drop into the deepest abyss.” Takamina chuckled with a low tone, her blue orbs flared up in angst.
“Well, this was just perfect, isn’t it? I have taken your soul, so…”
Ryuu turned to the midget, put her hand on her head, and muttered something she could not understand. The only thing she knew next was she was on a throne, with puppets on her thigh.
“You, Takahashi Minami, shall be the creator and first player of the game, BEGINNER.”
Takamina stared at Ryuu with a cold expression. Ryuu cringed her teeth.
“And I, Ryuu shall be Takahashi Minami’s assistance for the game.”
A crocked smile.

“Haruna, where are you? HARUNA!! NYAN-NYAN!!” Her sound echoed through the large space. Yuko was finding Kojiharu, who disappeared after the whole space changed. Her eyes moved around frantic trying to sort what happened. She called for Haruna but no answer. Her voiced echoed in the place and the clarity was hurting her brown eyes. She didn't even felt like laughing if this was some sort of joke. She couldn't spot anything other than white and started to run.
The squirrel stopped as she spotted a door. Feeling sweaty, she wiped off with her back of her hand. She grabbed the doorknob; hoping Haruna was at the other side of the door. Yuko opened it and gasped in horror.
Her legs fell to the ground. Her whole body was trembling. Her brown eyes dilated with fear as she saw the gory scene. She tried to reach out by in vain. Yuko was too shocked, and fear had devoured her. Lips trembling, she tried to call out her lover’s name but instead tears fell down her cheeks.
The scene she saw was nothing but a box and a human.
The human; Haruna was headless.
Her head was hung up by that damn box.
Her lifeless body dropped on the floor.
“Tch….” She gritted her teeth angrily, launched her attack. The box managed to avoid her attacks, tripping Yuko to the ground. Eyes burned up, she got up again, clenching her weapon tightly. In a moment, her weapon turned into a silver sword. Again, she swung the sword of valor and slashed the box into three symmetry parts. It vanished, leaving the panting Yuko and the headless Haruna alone.
“Haruna…nyan-nyan… why…?” She sobbed, hugging the headless body. The collar was broke, and the body and the head gradually vanished as Yuko stared at the blank space. She was alone, again.
She wiped off her tears away, stood up. She grabbed her sword and moved in her pace. Her deep brown eyes reflected the inferno that burned within her body. Her face wore a deadly expression, ready to crush the entire obstacle that stood in her way.
For her sake. Also for Haruna’s sake.
She will win this game no matter what.

She could sense it. It was closer and ready to make its entrance. But she was also ready for it.
She stepped forward and when her foot touched the ground a red sphere emerged. It stayed still for seconds and then changed into a sharp pyramid. Atsuko closed her eyes and when the thing started to move at light speed to pierce her, the moment it almost touched her skin, she avoided it and with her hand now holding a lightning sword, she crushed it with no mercy. The crashing sound dispersed through the room and the broken pieces fell on the floor. It soon disappeared, leaving the girl alone.
She walked forward, following her senses in hope to find what she was looking for.

The squares stopped in front of her and stayed still for some seconds. Yuko brought up her hands to touch the metal collar around her neck. It reminded her of something but the sudden change of pace distanced her from further consideration. The squares moved again and each one parted to the ceiling of the room, each one to its corner. Yuko lifted her head to follow them and wide opened her eyes when one of them shot something in her direction. What at first resembled a tiny ball transformed into a black baton and went straight into Yuko's face direction. Her reflexes allowed her to roll to the side, avoiding it, and then seeing the damage it would have done to her face if it had encountered it. The wall was pierced and destroyed heavily.
As she got up the squares moved again. Her head began to hurt and in her hand something was glowing. She opened it, revealing her palm and with her other hand touched it. Her mind seemed to go blank for a second and she blinked. As her eyes opened again, the room had changed. It was all black and she was seeing it through a blue protection. She looked down and realized that she was into her Beginner's gaming outfit.
The squares were flying above her head and encircling her. They were moving faster and steady.
“Tch. Troublesome stuff.” She gritted her teeth.
The enemy stroke again. As they encircled her, part of the squares separated into two and now with four small portions, from each emerged a small limb and moved down creating a circular prison. Not seeing what was happening above her head, Yuko felt two of the four limbs grating on her arms, leaving a trace of blood behind.
"Ahhh!"
She automatically opened her eyes and moved her arms away, trying not to touch the limbs. Her green-ish fluid was shinning on the black limbs and she shook her head when something crossed her mind.
“It’s not pain at all…”
Meanwhile, the enemy changed its shape into a sharp pyramidal blade, ready to attack. Before Yuko could react, the thing broke into millions of pieces, felling to the ground, vanished. She panted heavily, looking at her wound. She carefully touched it with her fingers, to confirm that she was really hurt. To her surprise, the wound healed in a fast speed, only left her perfect skin was revealed because of the attack just now.
“Are you ok?” The girl held out her hand.
“Y-yeah, I’m fine…” Yuko grabbed the black hair girl’s hand and stood up abruptly.
Atsuko was just passed by when she saw Yuko was in trouble. She took out her sword, giving the enemy a deadly blow before the enemy could lay an attack on that girl. She wiped the sweat on her face, still clenching the sword of hers.
“Ah… hey, thanks for saving me…” Yuko said with a tone of embarrassment.
“Oh, no problem. My name is Atsuko. Maeda Atsuko. Yours?”
“Me? I’m Yuko. Oshima Yuko.” She grinned as she heard Atsuko’s name. She heard it somewhere, but where? The bells are ringing through her mind, but she just can’t find the answer…
They both walked forward, chatting about the fights.
Well, quiet interesting, isn't it
Oh BTW, here's a picture of Yuko's dead serious face
ignore the vampire thing please.
