It was the afternoon and we were all sitting down for lunch. I ate a small sandwich to keep my strength up a little. Nothing too much.

"What do we do now?" Ichigo asked, crossing her arms across the table and setting her head on her arms.

"Beats me. Anything to forget that we're in a motherf*cking killing game," Amy sighed.

"Well I have an idea! Why don't we have a party over at the arcade?" Minami suggested.

"That's a great idea!" Kazuno said happily.

"Why are you even agreeing to this?" Amy asked suspiciously.

"I want us all to have a great time, no killings. We have to keep our spirits up," Kazuno explained.

Minami picked apart at the salad that she was eating from. "And I feel like a party would do just that," she explained.

She's got the right idea but...

"I'm still not going. You guys can do whatever you want," Ichigo swung her legs off the chair and walked away somewhere.

"I will go. Kazuno is correct that we need to keep our spirits up. A party does not seem like a bad idea," Sora said and Kazuno smiled at her.

"I wanna come too!" Yuki piped up. "I'll go. It may seem like fun," Robin said. "Count me in!" Toshiaki said.

"I-I'm coming t-too," Hirohito said. "Don't forget me," Jun exclaimed. "Guess I'm outvoted," Amy said begrudgingly.

Toshino walked in. "What are you talking about?" He asked. "A party. What, you thinking on coming?" Amy explained.

"Nah, I'm good. Do whatever you want," Toshino looked tired and stressed. I wonder why.

He walked into the kitchen, probably to look for something to eat. Uyeda glanced at him. "I'm a little worried about him. I'll go have a talk with him to rest up. Maybe to have him stay in his dorm for the day," He got up and walked into the kitchen.

Not going to lie but...I'm worried for him as well. It's not the first time I have seen him stressed and tired. Just yesterday he was like that.

"So are most of us going to the party?" Toshiaki asked. "Kana, Uyeda and Kuro haven't given us their answers yet," Minami pointed out. Wow thanks for that, I thought sarcastically.

"Fine I'm going," Kana sighed. I just nodded at this. A party doesn't seem too bad but I still think it's a bad idea. Who knows what would happen? Maybe I'm just going just to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't murder anyone. This will be a difficult task however.

Uyeda came out of the kitchen, supporting Toshino on his shoulder. "Hey what happened?" I asked, ignoring Amy's stare. "Nothing too grave. Probably fainted due to him being tired. I'll put him in the nurse's office to rest," Uyeda explained.

"So you're not going?" Minami asked, looking up from her salad. "Sadly no. I have to watch over him," Uyeda replied. Minami sighed, "Ok," and took a bite from an odd looking piece of lettuce. Lettuce is weird.

"Ok s-so most of u-us are going?" Hirohito asked as Uyeda dragged Toshino away to the nurse's office. "Apparently so," Kazuno said.

"Alright let's go then," Toshiaki jumped from the table. "Watch it," Amy snarled quietly.

We all went upstairs to the arcade room. Just before I entered however, I noticed that the door to the storage room and the Candle room was open.

"Hey guys, the storage room is op- oh for the love of ones and zeros," I grumbled since nobody was there with me, they all went in the arcade.

Maybe Toshino calling us stupid is justified, just a little bit, I thought as I walked into the arcade room.

Already people were playing games. Jun and Sora were playing Mario Kart, Yuki and Robin were at a Basketball arcade game. Amy was at Dance Dance Revolution while Kana just watched her.

Minami and Kazuno were at some shooter game, Toshiaki was playing a drum game and looked like he was concentrating hard. Guess that's the Ultimate Drummer to you.

Hirohito was standing near the staff's room, looking around to see what game he could play. I saw him jog up to the Space Invaders game and begin to play. Guess everyone had a game to play at.

I let out a small sigh and went up to an arcade fighting game. I think it was called 'Street Fighter.' I fought against the NPCs and when I finally lost to the second to last one, an hour has already passed by.

Guess it's time to play another game, I thought and went to a ring toss game. It was called Satsuki's Ring Toss game. The mascot was a girl in a one piece clown outfit and short cobalt blue hair. Interesting, I thought.

I played the ring toss game but only managed to get three rings onto the bottles. I was never good at these types of games. I tried again and managed to get four rings in this time. Ok maybe I'm getting better, I thought.

I walked away from the ring toss game to see what other types of games I could play.

I ended up playing Mario Kart against Yuki and Amy an hour later and won. "That was fun. Let's play again!" Yuki exclaimed happily. Amy just rolled her eyes at this.

We played another round of Mario Kart and Amy ended up winning. Yeah so props to her I guess.

Then suddenly... the lights went out.

What the-?!

"Hey who turned off the lights?!"

"Wh-what's going o-on?"

"This isn't funny! Turn the lights back on!"

"Even the games are off!"

"Hey what the-!"

"Guys stay calm and stay where you are!"

"HOW CAN YOU EXPECT US TO STAY CALM!"

"We must stay calm. It is possible that the others might have been affected by this as well,"

"Ow! Something whipped me!"

"EVERYONE SHUT UP! YOU'RE NOT LETTING ME LISTEN TO OUR SURROUNDINGS!"

Surprisingly that was me. Guess I can be loud.

Everyone stayed quiet as I listened to our surroundings. I heard someone being dragged off but it was very faint. Like it's happening outside of the arcade room.

Sh*t! I thought and tried to race over to where the sound was coming from. No luck and I fell front face on the floor.

Ugh what's that smell? I thought, pinching my nose. That did not smell like lemons. It had a much stronger smell that it made my head hurt and I felt dizzy.

"Hey whoever fell are you ok?"

"I'm fine!"

"Hey I think the lights are coming back on,"

Yuki was right. The lights flickered on again and everything looked back to normal.

"What the hell was that?" Amy asked.

"I'm not sure. Is everyone here?" Robin asked, taking leadership.

We all said here and our names.

And that's when we realized...

"Kana and Minami aren't here!" Kazuno cried.

Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit!

Please tell me it's not what I think it is! I thought and got up quickly from where I was at.

"Wait Kuro!" Robin shouted after me but I was already out the door.

I raced off to where I think the sound was coming from. It was definitely nearby but I didn't have much to go off of.

Something bumped into me suddenly.

"Oof!"

We both fell.

"Ichigo? What are you doing here?" I asked and she jumped up, dusting off her skirt.

"I fixed the lights. I had a little nightlight that I could use to navigate through the dark. The downside is that I couldn't see who was around me. I know for a fact that I bumped into someone while going to fix the lights," Ichigo explained.

"Do you know who?" I asked. She rolled her eyes at me or it seemed like she did.

"No I just told you that I couldn't see who was around me. I didn't know who but I heard some noises from the kitchen so maybe the person who I bumped into went there," Ichigo explained.

But that contradicts what I heard from outside of the arcade but it wouldn't hurt to check, I thought before shaking my head. No I have to see if both girls are ok!

"So what's going on?" Ichigo asked.

"Kana and Minami are missing. I'm trying to find them," I explained.

Ichigo stiffen at this. "Hoshi-chan is missing?" She asked, worriedly. Does she...care for Minami? I wondered.

I nodded and she stood up straight. "I'll go find them. You can go see if the kitchen holds any clues," Ichigo said.

I tilted my head to one side. "You can trust me Tami~chan. Count on it!" Ichigo explained.

I guess I should trust her...for now, I thought and I slowly nodded.

"Yay! Cya in a bit!" She waved and ran off to go search.

I ran in the opposite direction downstairs to the kitchen.

When I arrived there, I heard glass shattering. I stopped and cautiously walked over to where the sound came from. It was Toshino and he was...throwing something away in the trash.

He kept muttering that something was stupid. I wasn't quite sure what. He dumped something else into the trash and walked out of there with his hands in his pockets. He did not seem to see me.

After he left, I went up to where he dumped the containments in the trash and carefully picked up a label.

'Tetradotoxin or TTX' it read.

Wait...isn't this some sort of poison? I thought.

I kept checking the rest of the labels carefully so I wouldn't cut myself on the broken glass.

Poisons...what the hell are there poisons here in the kitchen?! I thought.

Just as I was going to continue investigating more, something happened that made my stomach drop.

Something dreadful.

Something that I wished was a one time thing.

Ding Dong Bing Bong

"Hoohoo~ a body has been discovered! Please head to the circus room to start your investigation!" Monkomi said from the screen before disappearing.

...

...

...

Not again!

"God dammit all to hell," I muttered.

Someone is dead. Please tell me that this is a joke!

But in my gut I could tell...that it wasn't a joke. Someone really is dead so that means another trial...another execution.

I got up and walked away from the kitchen to the second floor. The death must have happened in the circus room where the giant tank was. Monkomi did say to get over there to start the investigation. In all honesty, I didn't want to. I didn't want to see the cold dead eyes of the victim, the culprit's face when they are being executed, the aftermath. I didn't want to see it all.

I heard sobbing from inside the room. Sobbing, a few mutters of "This can't be," somebody pacing, all telltale signs that something happened.

Something bad.

I hesitated before walking in.

Even if I mentally prepare, I can never prepare myself for this.

I still haven't learned from last time.

A/N: I'MSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRUIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRY (you know who you are and I'M SORRY!!!!!!!!!!)

Second death. Oh boy.

Take a guess who is the killer this time.

Investigation and trial may or may not take a while depending on my motive.

Hope you enjoy it -Flare

I'm so SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
