(The next day)

Aika woke up in her room and took a look at her alarm to see it was 9:30 Am. She sighed and rolled on her left side as she didnt want to get up, and the events of last night were still haunting her.

'Did I really kill someone?' Aika asked herself in her thoughts.

After everything had calmed down that night Haru just went to work saying that he'll call the police and Aika and Sakura went back to their homes. Aika got a shower then tried to sleep it all off, but she didn't sleep well as what happened that night was looping around in her head.

However Aika heard the house phone ringing so she got up thinking that it's her mom and she did want to talk to her mother. So Aika got up from her bed and headed down to the kitchen only to see that the house phone had an unknown number displayed on it. Aika was skeptical to pick up but her curiosity got the better of her and she picked up.

"Ah Aika I would like to congratulate you and your team on getting your first elimination. Now the good guys are in the lead." A strange male voice said on the other side of the phone.

"W-What the! Who are you and how do you have my house phone number?" Aika demanded to know.

"Who I am and how I have your phone number is not important. What is important is that you and your friends have gotten your first elimination and therefore you all should be getting your prizes now!" The strange man said.\

At that moment Aika heard her door bell ring so she went to go check to see who it was. When she opened the door she was greeted with a delivery man holding a box in his hands.

"Hey I got a package that says it goes to this address and to a girl who goes by the name Aika." The delivery man said.

"Oh um I'm Aika so I think it's for me." Aika awkwardly said.

The delivery man then handed Aika the box and left to continue on with his deliveries. Aika then closed the door and took the box to the kitchen and opened it and saw that there were new color crayons and other drawing material.

"Your prizes are items that will allow you to make even more stunning creations and I hope to see them in the future." The man said before hanging up.

Aika was left confused as she didnt get any answers to the question that she had. Aika just slammed the phone down in frustration as she just wanted to have a normal notebook to draw in; she didn't want to be in a death game.

The phone then started ringing again and this time Aika saw it was her mom, so she picked up as she needed to talk to her mother.

"Hey mom, how's America?" Aika asked.

"Oh it's great here, oh and I have good news. I'm coming home early as I was able to finish up my work here early so I'll be back home tomorrow evening." Aika's mother happily explained.

"Oh You are that great to hear!" Aika exclaimed.

"Yes oh and hey I can finally get you a phone now so we'll go out together and pick one for you." Aika's mother said.

"That's great! Looking forward to seeing you then mom, love you." Aika then ended the call with her mother.

After the talk with her mom Aika felt better as her mother was gonna be home soon and she was finally gonna get a phone and not just use the shitty house phone like how her grandparents possibly did.

"Hmm I should make myself some breakfast, have a shower, and head out to the park to draw." Aika said to herself and did just that.

After Aika did all that she got her bag and placed her drawing supplies in the bag and headed out. Once she got there she felt a bit of her soul die when she saw Amaya and the cheerleaders.

"Oh Fucking god dammit can I go one day with out seeing thos bitches?" Aika angrily asked herself.

"Ugh whatever, I'll just go to a private part of the park and avoid them." Aika said to herself and headed to the private part of the park so she could draw in peace.

She came to an open empty spot of the park that she used to go to with Amaya when they were still friends. However now Aika just came here to draw but if Amaya was here with the cheerleaders she would just go home.

Thankfully Aika had this place all to herself so she sat down next to a tree and got out her drawing supplies and began to draw.

After about an hour or two Aika felt herself die on the inside again when she heard the cheerleaders and Amaya's voice coming towards her.

"Ugh you've gotta be kidding me." Aika said to herself.

She decided that the last thing she wanted was getting into a fight with them so she packed up her stuff and went into the woods to avoid them.

"Hpm why does it seem like they follow me wherever I go? Can I go for one day without seeing them? *sigh Well at least I was able to leave before they got there and tried beating me up." Aika said to herself.

Thankfully Aika and her mother always took walks in the woods for a few years now so she knew them quite well and wouldn't need to worry about getting lost. As she was walking a feeling of uneasiness came over Aika. She felt like someone was watching her.

"Hmm, probably nothing." Aika said to herself.

Right after she said that (like fate wanted to laugh at her) a man that looked to be in his thirties came out of the buses and he stank of cigarettes and beer.

"Oh why hello there young lady and where are you going on this wonderful day?" The man asked in a tone that grossed Aika out.

"Um I was just-" Aika was about to say but was interrupted when she felt someone placing their hand on her shoulder.

"Hey there you are Aika I was wondering where you went off to. Sorry if she disturbed you sir, my girlfriend here just likes to go on walks by herself." Haru explained.

Aika looked and saw that it was Haru and while she wanted to deny being his girlfriend she knew that it would get this creep to back off.

"Come-on Aika, let's go back to the picnic ground." Haru then took Aika by the hand and let her away.

The man looked at them with fury in his eyes before leaving the woods. Haru took Aika to the picnic grounds where he was eating with his parents and little sister.

"Hey you alright Aika?" Haru asked.

"Yeah, thanks to you that guy seemed creepy." Aika said.

"Yeah well you wont need to worry I'll do what I can to keep you safe." Haru said.

"Thanks." Aika said.

"Oh Haru your back oh and you brought Aika!" Haru's mother exclaimed happily.

"Oh hey mom, is it okay if Aika joins us on the picnic and when we go to the water park?" Haru asked.

"Oh of course she can join us. Any friend or girlfriend of my son is welcome." Harus mother said cheerfully.

Aika just rolled her eyes at Haru's mother saying she was his girlfriend and sat down with them.

"So Haru, how's your sister?" Aika asked.

"Oh she's okay she just got food poisoning the other day so she's alright now." Haru explained.

"Oh well that's good to know." Aika said before looking at what Haru's parents brought for the picnic.

(Later)

Aika was now in the car with Haru and his family heading to the water park, but they were going to the store first as Aika didn't have a bathing suit. That was because they couldn't afford to go to the water park or a pool. So Haur's parents were gonna get her a bathing suit so she could enjoy the pool with them.

They stopped right outside the store and they all went inside the building and went to the summer sale section. Aika looked through the bathing suits to see if she could find any that would suit her. She ended up finding a one piece bathing suit that was purple with a little skirt on it.

"Hey Haru, what do you think of this?" Aika asked and showed Haru the bathing suit.

When Haru saw it he felt his face heat up as he imagined Aika in it so he agreed that it looked good on her. So Aika decided to buy it and looked around for some sunglasses and sunscreen so she wouldn't get a sunburn.

After about a few minutes Aika got everything she needed along with Haru's family so they paid for their items and went to the water park.

(At the water park)

Aika was in the changing room with Haru's mother and little sister.

"So Aika Haru told me you're an artist and I wanted to know what you draw?" Haru's mother asked.

"I draw dark and gory stuff." Aika said flatly.

"Oh well he did say you're a goth so I guess that's understandable." Haru's mother said.

"Yeah, pink, unicorns, rainbows and other girly things is not my style. I prefer dark and bloody things." Aika said before heading out as she was done changing.

"Mommy, why is Aika so dark?" Aimi asked.

"Oh she's a goth sweetie and they're like that." Haru's mom explained.

Later Aika was in a float in the lazy river. She had her notebook that allowed her to be in the game. She was testing to see if it couldn't really be destroyed by anyone else aside from players. She had it in the water and pulled it out and it came out all dry like nothing happened.

'Hmm so I can't eliminate myself so that means that only someone on the opposite team can do that. That and I guess that it wouldn't be much fun or far if that could happen.' Aika thought to herself.

Aika leaned back in the float and closed her eyes just wanting to enjoy herself. Just then she felt someone pushing her float. She leaned up to see that it was a woman.

"Hey there, did you see the news last night that a man was found dead near a convenience store." The woman seemed very interested in it.

"Oh yeah, I saw it." Aika said in a disinterested tone to let the woman know she wasn't interested in talking.

"He was a killer who took teenage girls and boys in the middle of the night and his wife would chop up their bodies and sell them in their butchery." The women said in a more menacing way.

Aika was getting freaked out as the woman now had a crazed look in her eyes and she was also wondering how the woman knew all that. That was until a monster then came out from behind the woman and tried to kill Aika till she was pulled away by one of Haru's creations.

"HA It's nice to meet you two. I'm Yami and I'm another player in this game and the man you two along with your other friend took out was my husband so I'm here to kill you three and get revenge!" The woman called out aggressively while standing on her creation.

Aika and Haru were horrified by this as the creature the woman drew was ginormous.

"HARU! AIKA OVER HERE!" A Female voice called out.

The two looked over and saw that it was Sakura halfway out of a car.

"Come on Aika we need to go!" Haru exclaimed before picking Aika up and running to the car.

"Oh No! YOU TWO AREN'T GETTING AWAY THAT EASILY!" Yami screamed and had her creation go after the two.

Not even bothering to dry off, Aika and Haru jumped in the car and Sakura told the person in the driver's seat to start driving at once. The Man then floored it out of there as crazy Yami chased after them.

"Sakura! How the hell did you know where me and Haru were?" Aika asked in a panic.

"We were just gonna come here for a swim here so it was just a coincidence." Sakura explained.

"Yeah oh and like my sister here I'm in the game as well as one of the good guys. My name is Botan and this car is my creation as I want to be a spy so I draw spie stuff in my notebook." Botan explained.

"Wait, the notebooks can bring vehicles to life as well?!" Haru asked.

"Well they're not alive but the notebooks will bring anything you draw into the real world and they stay till you say so or if their task is done and this baby here will stay till I'm done using it. Oh and it's got just the thing to help us out with psycho bitch back there." Botan said while adjusting his mirror to allow him to see Yami.

Just then her creation used one of its tentacles to tear the bunker of the car off.

"Of Fuck! Well use them now FUKING NOW!" Aika screamed.

"I need you all to distract her for a while first before I can do anything." Botan explained as he pressed some buttons.

Then Haru and Aika were then pushed to the ceiling and were in pods with guns like the ones you'd see in a spy movie. Sakura's seat was also pushed out and she got a gun as well. The three all started shooting at Yami who had her creature block the blasts.

She was getting closer to the gang as the car was slowing down which made them panic.

"BOTAN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! Aika screamed in a panic.

"Don't worry I've got a plan to stop here in three... two.. NOW!" Botan exclaimed then swerved the car around and swiftly put the car in reverse.

The front part of the car then opened up and Botan took aim at the notebook and fired a shot at it. Yami saw the blast and quickly got her notebook out of the way however to how fast the bullet was going and that it was stronger than a shotgun blast it hit her arm and it tore it off.

"AHHH! YOU BITCH YOU TORE MY ARM OFF! AGH THIS ISN'T OVER I'LL KILL YOU ALL FOR THIS! CREATURE TAKE ME HOME NOW!" Yami screamed angry and in agony as her creation took her away so she could do something about her injury.

"HA told you I had a plan!" Botan bosted.

"Yeah yeah just get us back to the water park. I feel like Haru's parents are wondering where we are by now." Aika stated.

"Oh fuck I completely for got! Botan hurry get us back now!" Haru exclaimed.

Botan nodded and set his creation back to a normal car and managed to get them all back to the water park. They went in and Aika and Haru went to find Haru's family while Sakura and Botan went into the changing rooms so they could finally have fun. Haru looked around and saw his mom playing with his little sister in the kiddy pool.

"Hey mom!" Haru called out.

His mother looked up and saw him and asked "Oh Haru there you are where were you and Aika?"

"Oh we saw some friends of ours so we went to go talk to them for a while." Haru lied.

"Oh well that's nice oh and your father is in the hot tub I think he fell asleep in there and if he did wake him up we can have him sleeping while we're here." Haru's mother explained.

"Okay mom I will. Come one Aika." Haru then took Aika's hand and led her to the hot tub.

"So Aika got any plans tomorrow?" Haru asked.

"Oh nothing much aside from my mom coming home early and us going out to get me a phone." Aika explained.

"Oh your mom's coming home early?" Haru asked.

"Yeah she was able to get all her work done so she's able to come home early and sense we're out of debt. She goes on less business trips and spends more time with me." Aika explained.

'Hmm this could be my chance to meet Aika's mother but I'll need to make a good impression on her but how... oh that's it I'll clean up the house as best as I can so that way she'll get a good impression on me, yeah that'll work.' Haru thought to himself as he really wanted Aika's mother to like him, especially since he learned about her life with her ex-husband.

(Meanwhile in a butchery)

Yami was lying on her bed with the stub that used to be her arm all bandaged up. Just then her son came into the room with some more medical supplies. It was the same man that Aika had interacted with in the woods earlier that day.

"Ah son, good that you're back with what I requested and thank you for telling me where that brat was headed." Yami said graciously.

"Anything for you mother and as long as I can do what I can to avenge my father." Yami's son stated.

"Yes those brats might have won the battle but we will win the war." Yami stated.

"Yeah but you should rest after all you just lost your arm." her son said worried.

"Oh I will wait after all the good things in life come for those who are patient." Yami stated with menace in her eyes.

Yami then laid back on her bed and drifted off to sleep while planning inside her head on what her next move will be to kill the brats that took her husband from her.
