T.W!!! Mentions of suicide. Please do not read if you're sensitive to that or your not comfortable with that.
"(Y/n)-chan~. Open your eyes or you'll miss the show."
I woke up and looked around. My hands were free now. Looking around, I noticed tendou watching me, closely.
"You're awake now? That's good." He smiled. "Come here won't you?" I hesitated, and instead scooted further back. "Aw don't be like that." He lifted up his hand, revealing a chain connected to a collar around my neck. Resisted any longer would make me choke. "Good girl~"
"What do you want." I sternly asked.
"I want to show you something. Look down there."
Through a big glass window, I saw Kiyoko, Oikawa, Kuroo, Daichi, Sugawara, Bokuto, Hinata, Ushijima, Akaashi and Oikawa, all laying unconscious on the floor below us. Slowly, they started waking up, just as confused as I am.
"Everyone, can you hear me?" Tendou asked speaking into a mic. I guess that was the only way to communicate with people on the other side of the glass. "Hellooooooo. Testing testing."
"We can hear you asshole." Oikawa barked.
"I bet you wonder where you are right now, but it doesn't matter. You only have one goal. See those four nooses behind you? Your job is to make sure four people die. I don't care how you do it." Tendou chuckled.
"What the hell? No way." Kuroo yelled.
"That's a little fucked up don't you think?" Sugawara said.
"Guys, we don't have to do what he says. We're not in some movie like saw or whatever." Daichi told the rest of the group.
Thank goodness. Seriously, who would follow through with a request like that?
"I guess you'll need a little bit of motivation. If four people aren't hung in an hour, I'll kill every person in there, one-by-one."
"Wooowwww. Such motivation. You're really getting to me with that plot twist." Hinata said sarcastically, but tendou just sat there quietly. Either way you look at it, he benefits. This is just a game for him.
Ushijima cleared his throat. "Tendou isn't kidding. The choice you have to make is if you're going to sacrifice four, or let the whole group die."
"Yeah I don't think he's joking either." Kuroo thought.
"Ahhh, this is a pain." Bokuto complained.
"It's only four people right?" Daichi asked.
"Only? That's nearly half of this group!" Kiyoko said.
"You're right, but if I go, then that makes it easier for everyone right?" Daichi continued.
"Oi Daichi, don't get any kinds of ideas like that." Kuroo snapped.
"Still,"
"I said no."
"Well, if we're taking suggestions, I say Sugawara should die first." Oikawa sighed.
"Why me?!" He questioned.
"Well, you've been an asshole these past couple of days. Honestly, you're annoying." Oikawa continued.
"Understandable." Kuroo agreed.
"Understandable? What about you Oikawa? The only reason we're in this situation in the first place is because you brought tendou here!"
"Well Sugawara, maybe next time you should get the medicine. Maybe you'll run into Shiratorizawa's whole team."
"Listen, there won't be a next time if everyone is dead!" Hinata spoke up.
"See, chibi-chan makes a point."
"As much as I hate to see anyone die, Suga... I'm sorry." Kiyoko apologized.
"What, so now everyone's ganging up on me? And you think I'm just going to let you hang me?!" He yelled.
"That won't be necessary." Ushijima said.
"Huh-" Sugawara looked behind him and was hit in the head with a rusted pipe by Oikawa, knocking him unconscious.
"He deserved that one." Oikawa said, dropping the pole on the ground.
"Hoist him up there on the rope." Kuroo commanded.
"This is terrible." Kiyoko said, taking herself to a corner so she didn't have to whiteness this.
"Limp bodies are so-much, heavier!" Kuroo said through grunts as him and Ushijima carried Sugawara's body towards the rope. After it was around his neck, he didn't struggle. I assume he was already dead from when Oikawa hit him.
"I can't watch this." I told tendou, looking away from the window.
"What are you talking about? This is entertainment at its peak." He took the mic and spoke into again. "The first death is always the hardest. It only gets easier from here."
"Alright, so who's next?" Kuroo asked.
"Akaashi, you've been mighty quiet." Bokuto said.
"I don't want to have any part in this." He calmly said from another corner of the room.
"Daichi!!" Kiyoko yelled, grabbing everyone's attention. I looked over and noticed Daichi kicking the stool from underneath himself. "Stop him!"
Kuroo rushed over and supported him by his legs. "Goddammit, I told you not to do it!"
"Let him go." Bokuto heartlessly told him.
"Excuse me?!"
"I said, let him go. This is his decision, so that's less work for us. Don't let his sacrifice be in vain."
"I can't just-" Out of nowhere, Ushijima tacked Kuroo out of the way and pinned him down.
"Let me go! Get off of me you monster! What are you a football player. Let me go!" Kuroo spat as he squirmed underneath Ushijima.
The room was silent. Tears ran down my face as the color left daichi's eyes. Ushijima let Kuroo go, but it was already too late. I tugged on tendou shirt. "Just stop it already. Isn't that enough? Why are you doing this? I never wanted you to..."
"All of you were already supposed to die in that fire. I can't get arrested for the murder of someone who's already died in an accident can I?"
"Huh?"
"I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for me."
"You're kidding right? If you wanted to kill them just kill them. Having them kill themselves like this is inhumane!" I shouted
"(Y/n), you realize they're doing all of this for you right? So shut up and be a good pup while I finish watching my show."
The thought just sunk in. They are doing this for me aren't they? Killing each other for me, dying because of me.
"That's two down." Oikawa continued.
