You swallow and get up as everyone stands up suddenly in alarm at sight of the hilt of the dagger in Udai's chest. 

       "What!? Right in front of everyone!" Saeko gasps. 

       "That was gutsy. But now we have the killer's weapon." Akiteru breathes, reaching to grab it but Saeko swiftly catches his arm. 

       "Don't touch it." She shakes her head.

       "Alright. Let's leave it as bait." Tendo decides. "Two will stay here and the rest will start looking for the clues. Sound good?"

        "Yes… Who's staying?" Iizuna inquires.

        "I'll stay." Mami says. 

        "I'll stay too." You hum. They nod before heading to different carts. There was a drop coming in a minute. "So that sucks for the killer huh?" You comment, looking at the dagger.

        "Yeah. Still, not a bad move taking out a hero like that though…" 

        "Mhm. Kinda stuffy in here though." You hum going over and opening a window leaning out and catching the bag as it hangs from the mail drop. 

        "Um. Are you okay?" He asks. The blinds on the other windows had kept him from seeing the bag. You open the bag, pulling out another dagger and smirking.

        "I'm fine." You straighten up and turn about slashing through his neck. There is a red light that flickers from the strike before he falls over unconscious. You sheath the dagger, stashing the bag under a seat before dragging Mami into a chair and propping him up so it looked like he fell asleep. You peer at the other dagger, deciding to keep it there before starting toward the following the carts. 

~

         "... Oh. Didn't see that coming." Osamu blinks at the screen. 

        "Damn. Thought it would be Tendo." Atsumu murmurs.

        "He took the lead though…. Maybe he's the detective." Iwaizumi murmurs.

        "... I don't know how to feel about what's going on." Bokuto breathes.

        "Get them babe." Akaashi breathes, seeming oddly excited. The others send him odd looks. He coughs slightly and looks away. "I-I mean… Scary."

        "If anyone is scary here it's you." Kuroo mutters, messaging Daishou. "I'm telling their boss."

        "Shhh this is going to be awesome!" Nishinoya beams.

~

        "Yes!!! Let's go!" Rakurai bounces excitedly watching the television and biting into a wire, eyes flickering with lightning. "Yessss." Death peers at him warily before taking the wire from him carefully.

        ".... Think that's enough electricity for ya for one day lad." He says when Rakurai gives him a heart broken look. "No. I ain't falling for those puppy dog eyes so put em up." 

       ".... Please Death-san?" Rakurai pouts, quivering his bottom lip. Death looks away with a scowl. 

     "... Yer gonna be the prince of hell some day I just know it." He grumbles, handing it over. 

     "You're such a pushover." Rakurai chuckles, leaning on him. 

     "Shut it. ___ is meeting some of the others." 

~

     "Any luck on this end?" You ask, finding Saeko in the aisle between some small rooms. 

     "Oh. Yeah we're searching the rooms right now. Thought you were guarding with uh… Mohawk guy?" She hums.

     "Yeah. Komori came back to take the spot so I can help search…" You reply, peering about.

     "That's… Kinda weird. Should we check on them?" She asks.

     "I'm sure they're fine." You wave your hand as she leads you into one of the sitting rooms for VIPs. 

     "I hope so… let's see…" She starts to dig through a suitcase and peer over at the door, listening carefully before reaching around Saeko to help her. 

     "Hm? What's this? A piece of an I.D?" You comment, pulling it out.

     "That must be part of the puzzle. It's someone's eye… Wait." She glances at yours and you watch her face pale.

      "That's rotten luck." You smile, dagger piercing between her ribs with a red flicker of light before Saeko falls unconscious. You pick her up, moving her onto the seat and covering her up before turning to go out. Kanoka appears in front of the doorway and blinks at you in surprise. 

       "Oh. ___, what are you doing here?" She asks before pausing as she notices Saeko. "Hm? Saeko nee-chan?"

       "She's just tired and wanted to nap." You lie lightly. She blinks at you, a quivering smile on her lips.

       "That's not true. Is it?" She manages as you step forward.

       "Nope." You breathe, suddenly lunging, burying the dagger into her stomach. She falls back and you catch her, pausing and looking to either side as Akagi, and Akiteru freeze in shock. Akagi suddenly turns to run to the front of the car but you throw the dagger, nailing him between the shoulders and making him go down. You swiftly rush over, grabbing the dagger and spinning about, throwing it after Akiteru. He instinctively dives into a room, dodging it. 

        He slams the door shut as you quickly move to collect the knife. You listen against the door as he shuffles through things, cursing quietly in a panic. You take a step back and peer about, a red switch catching your eye. 

        'To unlock doors press this.' The words only you can see glimmer. You reach up and press it, hearing a click in response. Akiteru freezes in horror as you open the door.

        "Sorry. But I'm winning this game." You breathe, stepping forward and shoving the dagger into his chest. The red light glimmers and he sinks down to the floor as you back up to the door, stepping over Kanoka and Akagi as you make your way to the front of the car. You stop, hearing a puddle under your foot. You glance down at the blood before looking over your shoulder to find the hall splattered with blood and decorated with strings of flesh. 

        Closing your eyes briefly you turn to look ahead, trying to push down the slight wave of nausea. "This is fine." You murmur before opening your eyes and moving on, crossing into the dining cart and taking your other dagger from Udai's chest as you pass. 

         You glance down as you cross to the next cart, stopping and kneeling down at the link, carefully disconnecting the carts before standing as the rest of the carts steadily slow as the gap between you and them grows. 

        "That's fine." You mutter before going into the next cart. No one seemed to be in this one. 'Three left… Tendo, Iizuna, and Komori… they're probably grouped up." You think to yourself, searching the rooms before moving to the next cart. You could hear them on this one, approaching a room and peering in as Tendo goes through a suitcase, the other two searching the wardrobe and a box which had probably been under the bed. 

         "Hey guys, any luck?" You ask lightly. 

         "Oh Hey. I thought you were guarding with Mami?" Komori hums.

         "Saeko found a piece of the puzzle and brought it to the dining cart, she sent me to see if you guys found any pieces." You respond.

        "Yeah. We found one. Komori will go with you to deliver it." Tendo says as he peers at you. 

       "Aw… But I miss you." You pout lightly, looking down. He pauses, blinking in surprise.

       "I miss you too, paradise. So come back to me soon." He says softly. You nod and Komori heads for the back of the train with you. Tendo blinks at the door before looking back in the suitcase. "If either of them return alone then they're the killer." He states to Iizuna, making the other blink in surprise.

         You glance back as you and Komori move to the next cart. 'Eh. This'll do.' You think before watching Komori's back as he falters for a brief second. He noticed that the following cart was no longer there. 'What will you do little weasel?' You think as he opens the door.

         "Oh… That's…" He suddenly moves and you turn around and run to the other end as he jumps onto the roof of the train. You burst through the door and jump up, flipping onto the roof and standing up as the weasel slides to a stop a few feet away. 

       "Sorry Komori. I can't let you warn them." You smile. He leaves the weasel form, little rounded ears flickering uneasily.

       "I had a feeling it was you." He glances about as you step forward. 

       "It's dangerous here Komori. Let's go back inside." You suggest, taking another step forward. He swallows, meeting your gaze.

       "Sorry. But… I wanna repay Iizuna-san!" He manages suddenly diving at you, changing form. The small creature climbs up your chest and leaps off your shoulder. You blink out of your surprise and swiftly turn, catching the creature by the scruff of his neck. He changes back as you hop down with him, mouth opening to shout out but swiftly silence him as the dagger slices his throat. 

       With a relieved sigh, you pull him back into the cart and leave him propped up against the wall. "Too damn close." You mutter before going back out and crossing to the next one. Tendo and Iizuna leave the room they had been in and move to search the next. Iizuna pauses and looks back as you approach. His eyes widen slightly, and you feel your time running out. 

        So you lunge forward, drawing the daggers as your eyes lock on Tendo. He suddenly turns about, pointing a gun at you and firing. You had felt the buzz in your shoulder before you dodged the bullet, bringing forward a dagger to attack. Iizuna collides into your side, both of you crashing into a room. You bury a dagger into his back as Tendo swiftly shuts the door to keep you in. 

         "... Tendo?" You say to the door as you get up. "Sweetie. Let me out." You breathe, trying to open the door. "Dearest. Don't lock me in here." You tell him, searching about for another button, finding none.

         "Just give me ten seconds my paradise. I'll finish this soon." Tendo responds lightly. 

         'Does the gun have a cool down? I need to hurry.' You look at the window and open it, getting out and quickly moving onto the roof. He probably heard. 'If there's a cool down I just need to dodge the next bullet too.' You think, jumping down and opening the door. He aims the gun as you throw a dagger. The bullet and dagger collide, and you rush forward, readying the other dagger. He swallows as your eyes lock with his. He swiftly kicks you back, hand smacking your arm away at the same time. 

        A smirk forms on your lips as you flip back. 'Your Midnight is showing.' You think as he swiftly makes a move for the fuel cart. You chase after him, following him into the hot cart with lingering coal smoke around you both. He turns to you, aiming the gun. You pivot as he fires, grabbing his wrist and aiming for his heart with the dagger. He catches your wrist in time, both of you struggling for the upper hand. You press him against the wall, making him grit his teeth. 

       "Ah… You are too damn strong." He growls, before pausing as your chest presses against his. You smile lightly, leaning up and sliding your tongue over his bottom lip, making him shiver before you kiss him deeply, forcing your arm forward, dagger going into his chest. You pull back as he slumps and slides down to the floor. You huff and sit beside him, head resting on his shoulder. 

        "Fighting without your quirk must be such a pain in the neck." You mutter as the contact lenses light up, congratulating you for winning. 

*

       The dorm was in a shocked silence as the commercial started. "... Is it bad if I am insanely jealous of Tendo right now?" Oikawa asks in confusion.

       "Nope. I think that's how I would want to die." Atsumu folds his arms and tilts his head. "A hot kiss from ___ as they bury a dagger into my chest just seems nice.

       "I think I would prefer a fiery explosion myself…" Akaashi hums, receiving some uneasy looks. 

       "Maybe. I don't think I would want ___ to be the cause of my death. But I would like a kiss goodbye." Bokuto says.

        "Oh yeah. That was nice too. I felt really warm when that happened to me." Atsumu smiles.

        "I forgot about that." Kuroo blinks. "It's been a few months now huh?"

        "Yeah. I still have nightmares though." Osamu admits. 

        "Sorry Samu. But that's in the past now. We're all still here." Atsumu reminds him.

        "... I'm lost. When did Atsumu die?" Ushijima asks.

        "It was a while back. You remember that explosion at Inari? It was that day… Think when Tendo was in that accident. A group of us lived that day twice." Nishinoya tries to explain.

        "Twice?" Ushijima tilts his head.

        "Yeah. When Midnight was with Bloody Horizon. They attacked Inari. That big guy they had killed Oikawa, and Atsumu… Killed ___ too, but they were able to burst him at the same time." Kuroo tells him, the group that had gone, drop their gazes at the memory. "But… Midnight reset the day and they were all saved."

        "Burst…" Ushijima murmurs eyes widening slightly, face paling as he seems to watch something in the distance.

        "Hm? You okay Ushijima?" Asahi asks carefully in concern. Ushijima blinks back and stands.

        "I-I'm fine. Going to lay down…" He breathes, starting for the door but stumbling and collapsing. 

        "Ushijima!" Daichi and the others rush to him. 

        "Is he hurt? What's wrong?" Sugawara asks.

        "He's heating up. I think he's caught a fever." Kiyoko states. 

        "Let's get him to the warm." Atsumu says as Bokuto helps pick him up. Oikawa watches them carry him out, a few others following in concern. 

        "That's weird… He seemed fine when he came in." Oikawa murmurs.

        "Guess guys like him can get sick too." Iwaizumi comments. Oikawa hums in response, eyes narrowing slightly. 

*

       Tendo shifts, making you open your eyes and check on him as he peers about in a daze before looking at you. 

      "... If you ever kill me for real, can it be just like that?" He asks.

      "You really liked that huh? Masochist." You tease, getting up. He blushes lightly at that, sending you a huff.

      "Of course I did. That was really pleasant aside from the situation." He says getting up. "But that was intense." He mutters as you lead him to the previous car. The other cars were coming back to rejoin since the train had come to a stop after your win. 

        Komori was helping Iizuna up as you both enter. Iizuna blinks at you and straightens.

        "You scared the hell out of me at the end there!" He gasps.

        "Sorry Iizuna. Komori." You smile sheepishly.

        "That's fine. But you know. Seeing those other cars gone made my heart drop." He chuckles.

         "You disconnected them? Did you kill the others?" Tendo asks curiously.

         "Yeah. But it was the first game so it was pretty easy." You say opening the door as the other cars near. Udai opens the door of the other car. He gives you scowl, hopping across the gap to land in front of you.

         "You killed me first…? I didn't even get to play." He grumbles.

         "Sorry. Having you alive just seemed like a real nuisance to me…" You apologize.

         "... It's because I'm such an awesome hero right?" He suddenly beams. "You're a smart killer." 

        They link the cars and everyone moves into the dining cart as the employees rush about to ready for the next game.

        "Well… If I didn't have trust issues before. I do now." Mami comments. 

        "Right? I should've known something was up. You're so sneaky ___!" Saeko gasps. 

        "Not really. Kanoka caught me after I killed you." You respond.

        "Yeah but you killed me." Kanoka objects.

        "And then me." Akagi and Akiteru say together.

        "So fast. I barely had time to register it." Akagi frowns. 

        "I internally screamed when it happened." Akiteru confesses. 

        "I'm excited to be the murderer now. I'm going to get you back ___.” Udai rumbles.

        "Ah… Come on now. I'm sorry for traumatizing you guys." You protest.

        "But that first kill was pretty good. I think I would go after the pro hero too before he can sniff me out." Saeko hums. 

        "Aw. Come on. Let me play guys." Udai pouts, making them chuckle lightly.

        Before long the games continue for the next few hours. Unfortunately you don't get to be the murderer again. And you die a few times. However with you and Tendo innocent, you both manage to win with the other passengers at least twice. 

       "Ah it's getting so late." You comment to Tendo as you both wait in the caboose. Udai had killed you both this game and disconnected the cart, so now you waited for the game to end to be reconnected.

       "Been six hours since we started…" He yawns.

       "Really? Doesn't feel like it." You blink in surprise.

       "Mhm. But we are having fun. Right my paradise?" He leans on you. 

       "Right." You smile and he hugs you warmly, kissing you deeply. 

       "What a wonderful day. And it's all thanks to you." He says softly.

       "I'm happy you're enjoying yourself." You murmur.

       "Mm…. I want you to be the killer again though. It was so exciting when we faced off." He whispers. 

       "Hehe. I'm hoping soon." You breathe. 

       'The Killer has won the game. Please stand by as we reconnect the cars.' A voice sounds over a hidden speaker. Tendo gets up, helping you to your feet. 

       "They'll probably feed us now my love." He cups your cheek.

        "Mm food." You lick your lips. He glances at your lips before kissing your forehead. 

        "Ah… You're so tempting my dear. Let's go." He hums, taking your hand as the cars are connected again, leading you to the dining cart.

        Udai snickers as you enter, locking gazes with you. "You're an awful hero! Third game where you killed my first!" You point at him. 

        "Taste my vengeance ___!” He laughs. 

        "You two are getting along so well." Saeko comments. 

        "How? He keeps killing me!" You gasp.

        "Don't act like you wouldn't kill me first again." Udai hums 

         "I wasn't going to but you're on the top of my list now buddy." You growl. 

         "So ___, who's the scariest killer now that you've died to all of us?" Mami asks.

         "Iizuna." You respond simply. 

         "Eh? But I was quick." Iizuna pouts. 

         "That's the problem." Kanoka speaks up.

         "Yeah. You just said 'Hi!' and then I died! You're ruthless." You complain. He gaps looking hurt.

         "But I thought it would be scarier for you guys if I drew it out." He defends.

         "... You might be right. But everytime you pop up now I just instinctively want to run." You tell him.

        "I thought I was pretty fast. But you guys always catch me." Komori grumbles as the food is set down on the table. 

         Uzu appears in a hologram above the table. "Good games everyone! Now I have a special announcement for you. And if you all accept. Tonight you'll be our first guests at the Murder Hotel! It'll also premiere tonight. But with such a big building we'll need to double up. And yes that means guests and another killer. So. What do you say?"

        "... Hell yeah." You and the others gasp excitedly.

        "Good. We'll give you all a piece of paper. Write down two names and their addresses. We'll bring them in to play as well." He snaps his fingers and the papers appear at the center of the table. "Enjoy your meal in the meantime." He chimes before disappearing. 

         "Hmmm…" You blink at the paper. "... Kinda want to bring in Daishou and Mika." 

         "Like a double date? Sounds fun… I think I'll bring Shirabu and… Ushijima in…?" Tendo tilts his head. "Ah but they said doubling up so they'll probably only bring in one from the two we pick… So… You put Daishou and Ushijima, then I'll put Mika and Shirabu and see which ones we get." He nods.

         "Okay. Sounds good." You smile as everyone fills out the papers before eating.

         The next half was bound to be fun.
