Y/N POV
I walked into the room. 7 tombstones immediately caught my eye.
"W- what is this?" Sara asked
Without answering, I walked up to the middle one. I put my hand on it, expecting to feel a layer of dust, but there was none. It seemed recent.
The others walked up to inspect it as well. Curiously, I pulled off the lid.
....
It's him....
I never expected to see that face again....
. . . S o u . . . . H i y o r i . . .
Memories began to flood back. I grabbed my head, a giant headache and memories rushing through it. I fell backwards.
The real Sou Hiyori.... It's him.
Shin looked in the coffin. He fell backwards too, in shock.
Everyone else looked, but nobody else had anywhere near the reaction me or Shin did.
We knew him from high school. But he was... dead. Long dead. So why?
.... Why was he here?
I closed my eyes and tried to remember more, tuning out what everyone else was saying.
Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
In front of me, crouched down was Sou Hiyori. The real Sou Hiyori.
I screamed.
His sick, twisted spine-chilling laugh burst out of nowhere. He looked into my eyes.
"Y/N, my dear Y/N. It's been a while, hm?" He said.
He looked at Shin. "You too, Shin. How have things been? Especially without me." The last part seemed like a joke, but then again, this was Sou.
"How- how are y-you" I stuttered, making eye contact with him, horrified.
"Alive? Well, I can't give anything away but I will be your floormaster. I've been waiting for hours for you all to come... you specifically, Y/N.." he smiled at you.
"Wait a second! Y/N, Sou, ya' know 'dis guy?!" Q-Taro burst out.
"Sou... my own name, stolen by you, Shin. Is that right?" He looked at Shin, almost angry. He suddenly burst out laughing again, upon hearing that laugh I got goosebumps.
"Just kidding! I don't mind. However, I should use a new name, and I'll let Shin- no, Sou, keep my own!" He smiled, then turned back to me.
"Y/N, I'd love you to choose a name for me. By the way, you look very handsome when you're terrified. I'd even say cute." He clutched his scarf.
I blushed furiously. He smiles sadistically, as he always did seeing my embarrassed.
"So, what'll it be?" He asked.
"Damn, u-uh.... Midori." I said, after a lot of consideration. He crouched down again and touched my face and I blushed more.
"What a lovely name, I think it suits me perfectly Y/N! Good boy.." I turned bright red and crawled back away from him a bit. He laughed again, sending a shiver down my spine.
"Sou.. No- Midori, why are you so obsessive over Y/N. You aren't... working together, are you?" Shin asked.
(From this point down I'll refer to Shin as Sou!)
My eyes widened and I gave an angry look to Sou. He knew I wasn't, yet he still said that. After everything we've been through, too. I was a little offended.
Midori sat down next to me on the floor, his arms behind him and his legs out straight.
"Damn~ betrayal, right Y/N? Or are you really working with me?" He laughed through his words. I looked away.
"Well, onto the next thing." He said, standing up. I suddenly saw a bunch of new people I didn't notice before all around me. They all reintroduced themselves, as I didn't hear them earlier, while I was spaced out. It turned out they were all dolls.
"Look for a red line between your collar and another persons collar, you will all have a partner, or rather, a master, for the dolls. Now, look for the red line of fate!!" Midori exclaimed. "Also, there is an odd number of people left, so the extra person will be paired with me, I could use a helper anyway." He smiled, and glanced at me, looking as if he was hoping I'd be left out.
Red lines appeared everywhere as he pressed the button. I looked, but I had no one. I glared at Midori, he smiled sadistically.
The dolls went with their masters, and Midori walked close to me.
"Well, look at that. What a coincidence.." He laughed. He turned to the rest of the group, and grabbed my hand with a firm grip.
"Listen now!! Y/N is paired with me. He will proceed without dying and will help me throughout this floor. Everyone, excluding Y/N, you need to kill to proceed to the next floor."
"Whose our target then?" Ranmaru asked.
"Keiji Shinogi, of course!" Everyone turned to stare at Keiji. A feeling of dread came over me, him having have helped me a lot through the whole death game.
"Just kidding! It's me. I will be going now, but everyone, again, excluding Y/N, try to work on ways to kill me! I'll be waiting in anticipation! Do your worst, and farewell for now- oh, and I will be watching you all!" Midori exclaimed before running off and pulling me with him.
He pulled me through a secret door, quickly pressing buttons so fast I couldn't see.
A room that resembled a living room greeted my eyes. He sat on a couch in front of a bunch of monitors and gestures to me that I do the same.
"You remember me from high school, as I expected." He said as I sat down next to him.
"Yes, I do. But I will not speak about those days, and if possible I won't speak to you at all." I said angrily, looking away.
"Now, now. No need to be angry. Of course, you look very cute when angry, but I want you to grow closer with me~" he said.
I restrained myself from blushing with everything I had. "You purposely paired me with you, didn't you?" I asked.
"Of course. Why do you think that is?" He asked me, smiling and turning his head slightly.
"...." I looked away..
I half still couldn't believe that this was happening. I thought he was dead. It was one shock to see his body, another bigger one to see him alive, then for him to be the floor master and....
I hid my face in my hands. I almost wanted to cry. I was confused. I didn't even know what I thought about him anymore.
High school was ages ago. That shit didn't matter now. Back then I did love him... in my hazy memory, I couldn't remember if he loved me as well.
Right now it seemed a bit like that, but he could be playing with me, he always was that kind of person, much more so now.
His eyes fixated on me. He looked deep in thought.
He smirked
"I have some things I want to ask you, some things I'd like to say.... But, first things first... rules." He slid closer to my on the couch.
He put his hand on my chin and turned my head to look at him, he looked serious.
"I chose you for a reason. You're going to help me, specifically, you're going to be on my side. I know how that must sound, but I guarantee you will stay alive if you do. I'll let you in on pretty much everything that nobody else will know. And trust me, my dear Y/N, there's a lot."
I listened, staring back at him.
"But always remember. Fuck up once. Let anything slip, purposely help your side- which I should say, won't be "your side" anymore.. and that pretty little collar around your neck will... you know."
I touched my neck. He smirked, and continued.
"I have many ways to do this. Even if I don't have access to the remote. There's code words, cameras hidden so well I even sometimes forget they're there, and more. So always remember whose in control. Me."
He pushed some hair out of my eyes.
For some reason, I was overcome with the feeling of being frightened, but also slight admiration.
.... Did I.... Love him?
But he's a floor master. All of them, possibly excluding Safalin, have been bad people, and he definitely seemed like all of them, probably worse.
.... So why.....
I just nodded.
"Good boy, Y/N~" he smiled sadistically at me, probably sensing my fear.
Fuck, what if he sensed the admiration too..
