Mukai step hesitantly to the capsule in front of him, Sho in the other hand trembling as he getting up from his sitting position, Mukai turn his body a little before he get inside the capsule.
"Let me ask you first, what happen to Ren and Daigo when they were disqualified?"
The lady smiled devilishly, " They are dead." her voice sleek like a potion.
"Are we dead?" Daigo ask the younger when he heard the woman, the rest of the boys cannot hear him as he is in different place, different dimension maybe.
"I don't know," The younger said, both boys are narrowing their eyes to the screen in front of them, frowning and worried.
Mukai gulp, then turn his body back and step into the capsule.
Sho's body trembling harder, he held up to the capsule door a little too tight.
the competition assistants pushing his body forcefully inside the capsule, as a blue light lit up.
the boys open their eyes, they woke up inside a brick walled room, with a hanging lamp above them, the place look terrifyingly cold, and the boys are on each side of the room, facing the other.
"Welcome to the second stage." The lady smiled, blowing the smoke out of her mouth,
"We heard you are a black belt in kungfu AND master in Muaythai, aren't you Mukai-san?"
Mukai nodded and gulp.
"Very good, you can use it here," The lady smirked. "Fun,right?"
"The one that survive this stage will earn 100 points.all you have to do is to make sure your opponent knocked out." She continued, leaning forward from her sitting position."
Sho clasp both of his palm tightly as he drifted his stare away from Mukai's.
"At the sound of the horn," She ordered. "Let the game begin."
the boys look at each other without moving an inch.The older look down to his feet, gritting his teeth.
"at the time Sho was joining junior, I thought, what the fuck did he doing here, he has perfect body, perfect voice, perfect face, just what the fuck he's doing?"
"Jikko's first impression that he seems to be so uptight, he would always have the feeling of rejecting me, but when I got to know him better, he's actually a really sweet person."
"If you don't start now, we will kill you both," The lady singsonged, when slurping his coffee.
"Aaaargh!" Mukai scream in frustration as he kick Sho's temple.
"Jikko," The younger pant, his body thrown several inches as he receiving Mukai's kick.
"Fight me Hirano!" the older scream to his ear. without being ordered twice, the younger flight a jab on the older's jaw.
"Now it's getting good," leaning back on her seat, the lady ordered some of her staff to put on some oldies song contrast to the raging rivalry.
the song was heaved sweetly backing up the music of a jaw break and a spine twist.
Mukai throw a fist to Sho's eyeball, ripping it as it is now dropping fresh blood.
"Shooo~!!" Daigo irked as he get up from the bed and hold to the screen,shaking it forcedfuly.
"Daigo," Ren said, getting up then pulling Daigo to his embrace. Daigo sobs uncontrollably, burrying his head on the younger's embrace.
Onishi was crying like there's no tomorrow, curling at the corner hugging both of his feet. he wasn't even close to the rest of the guys in that room so he could only cornered alone.
Jinguji was walking around in circle, scratching his head, Genki's face look terrified, sitting on the wooden chair straightly.
"These guys is crazy," Aran said, Reia was clutching on to him, not daring to look at the screen.
Sho was giving nonstop punch on Mukai's stomach, causing the older to spit blood from his mouth, he hit the younger's nape with his elbow in exchange.
the different between this battle and the previous that they didn't wear any gear, so both boys are relying so much on their own physical ability.
wiping the blood from his lips, Mukai's try to stand still on her feet only to be kicked by the other.
"Jikko!" Onishi scream, running to the nearest guy and shake him in panic.
"Tell them to stop this, tell them to stop this, I don't want to play anymore,"
Kaito, whose hand was shook abruptly, can only lower his head down, then he look at the younger eyes.
"Onishi-kun, we can't do anything about it.we can't stop the game."
"BAKA!" Onishi scream, " You just don't care about Jikko and Sho as much as we did! you're just a coward!"
the youngest then run to the screen and shout to the lady,
"Woman-san, please, stop this, please stop, I don't them to die, just stop this please, what did we done wrong?" He cried wholeheartedly as he fall on his knees, literally begging the woman to end this insane game.
"Onishi-kun, you heard your friend," The woman said, " You can't do anything about this."
She stir her coffee spoon in a posh manner. "So you better back down or we will kill you too."
"Onegai!" Onishi said bowing deeply so that his forehead meet the cold tile.
the lady flick her finger and two of her assistant dragging Onishi away, put an electrocute gun on his side, the youngest fall weakly on the floor, Miyachika was the fastest to lift him before he hit the floor.
"Ryusei!" Daigo shout again. "how could they do that to him? he's still a baby," Daigo sobs.
"He is not a baby, Daigo, he's a boy, a guy, even, he will be fine,"
"How could you tell me this?" Daigo said pulling away from the younger's embrace.
"What do you mean?" Ren said confusedly.
"Do you even care about us? you didn't even do anything when kinpuri was announced. you don't do anything for us, even that we care so much about you, me, Ryusei, we waited everyday for you to do something so we can be together again, and yet, what have you done?" Daigo said sobing, " Don't act as if you care about him."
"Daigo," Ren release a deep breath, his older former band meber was swift back to his bed.
the fighter boys are lean back to the wall, trying to catch their breath, Mukai's face is almost unrecognizable, the younger's are swollen with one eyes closed completely. Their whole body are full of bruises and sweats.
"Oh come on, it's all you got?" the lady said, then yawning, She then push a button in front of her. and an futuristic metal box lid up in front of Mukai and Sho.
the box beeped and the lid opened, showing them what's inside
"in front of you is a gun, one with bullets and the other is not. you will always have 50/50 chances here, your opponent pick the gun and you are not, it is either loaded or not, you may died or not. you both pick the gun and fired at the same time, you will either shoot dead or walk out alive, but, if both of you didn't pick the gun at all." She straighten up herself, you will be disqualified. and I already told you what happen to Nagase and Nishihata didn't I?"
Daigo and Ren knows clearly that it is better not to pick gun and let them disqualified,because they don't feel like as if they were dead. But none of the fighter boys know it. they think that the lady's words are 100% reliable.
"When I count to 3, make up your decision, if you pick up the gun, fire it on the mark." The lady continue, slurping her coffee again.
the boys are about to throw up as they face the metal box, hazy mind start running through their mind.
"But his egoist side, the part of him that don't want to lose is what I love the most,"
"I wanna see the cute side of Sho a little bit longer,"
their hand shaking uncontrollably, Sho's feet weakened, that he slip on his knee before the box.
"On my mark," The lady said, ready to count, " One..." Sho was getting up on his feet, leaning on the metal box panting heavily.
"Two," Mukai bit his lips, holding the gun on his hand, look at it as if it was made of glass.
"Three!" both boys turn their backs and faced each other, then a gunshot heard. followed by hysterical scream from Daigo.
the guys at the main hall turn their heads away from the screen. The lady in black smirked.
"What a nice game," She commented, clapping her hand.
Sho's right eye popped open in shock, his whole body tremble uncontrollably, his breaths are uneven, he walks slowly to the older guy,
"Jikko..JIKKO!" He shout in agony, the older are laying there lifeless, there's a whole on his checst running with fresh blood, the gun he was about to pick up are still safe inside the metal box.
"JIKKO!" The younger guy scream again, as two of the assistant dragging Mukai's body out of the room, the younger hit the floor with his fist miserably, crying his heart out. the assistant lifting him up and put him back to the capsule transfer him back to the main Hall.
He stepped out of the capsule limply, fall on his knees afterward as he pant and sobs uncontrollably.
"Sho!" Jinguji said, approching him, "Calm down, it's all over," He said again, lifting him up and put him on the wooden chair.
"I killed him," He sobs, " I killed my best friend!" his breath hitch, tears never stop falling from his eyes, "I killed him,"
the screen start flickering again,
"HIRANO-WINNER, MUKAI-KO, KINPURI-100 POINTS" is what is shows, then it flicks again,
"THIRD FIGHTER. YUTA JINGUJI, ONISHI RYUSEI."
"No way," Daigo sobs, "This is crazy, we must stop this!"
"Onishi-San, Jinguji-San, please step inside the capsule." The woman said. " Let the game begin."
