-CHAPTER TWO-

"We were just at the 104 building!" I protested. "How the hell did we get back here?" I'd suddenly just woken up with the others at Scramble Crossing.

"It does that… every day the game is somewhat reset and we wake up here," Asuka told me. I nodded. There was a beep. "Oh… the mission."

I looked at my phone to find another message: "Obliterate: verb. To remove or destroy all traces of. 600 minutes. Fail and face erasure. –The Reapers."

I felt a searing pain on my hand and looked to see a timer counting down five hours. "So that's how long we have to figure this out?" I asked.

"Yeah," Haru told me. "I think we're fighting something today." This was more to Asuka and Ryuu than me.

"That would make sense," Asuka answered. "It seems like the easy missions to start out."

"Sato-san," I began but Asuka cut me off.

"Asuka-chan," she corrected. "Call me Asuka-chan please. I'm only a year older than you, you know."

"Alright, then you call me Keiko-chan," I told her. She nodded with a smile. "Asuka-chan," I tried again, "you said yesterday… you said you want to fix this. You sounded like you were going to do more than get your life back…" She smiled a grim smile.

"Yeah. I am going to do more than get my life back. Haru-kun and I… we're-"

"Yo, chicas! Hurry up or we'll leave you behind!" Haru called. Asuka and I followed- I would ask her later. "The question is what are we obliterating and where?"

"Right. We could do a scan for Noise," Asuka said.

"Scan?" I asked.

"If you use the pin, you can scan people's minds and you can find the Noise. Sometimes destroying Noise will be part of a mission," Haru told me. Ryuu and I nodded. So I held the pin in my hand and did a scan. I didn't see any of the monsters I had seen the day before.

"I don't see anything," Ryuu told us.

"Me either," Asuka said. I stopped the scan. "Should we check another area?"

"That seems to be the only option," Haru decided. I followed him and the others to the entryway to the 104 building but an invisible force knocked us back. "A wall?" he said. Asuka explained to me how some areas were off limits to us during missions. "Now what?" he looked around and his eyes focused on a figure. The boy had a red sweatshirt with a hood pulled up over his eyes. "Yo, reaper!" We walked over to the red guy.

"Want past the wall?" the red guy said. "Then defeat the Noise."

"There aren't any Noise!" Asuka protested.

"Then you better go find it," he said.

"Dumbass," Ryuu mumbled as we walked away.

"Well now what?" I asked.

"I guess we'll have to scan the areas we can to find the Noise," Haru said. "Time to split up. Hope we see you guys later."

"Yeah," Ryuu said.

"Wait, I have to talk to Asuka-chan!" I countered, but they were gone by now.

"What are you gonna talk to Asuka-chan about?" Ryuu asked. I sighed.

"I wanna know what she and Suzuki-kun are up to…" I said warily. "They strike me as the odd type… don't you think?" From his reaction, he clearly didn't. I sighed again. "Never mind, let's just go look." I lead the way to Spain Hill.

We searched for a long time without finding anything. I began to grow impatient. "There's got to be something we're missing," Ryuu said. We searched just about every area, then met back up at scramble crossing. We found Asuka and Haru.

"Figure it out yet?" Asuka asked.

"No," I complained. "It's making me mad."

"Us too," Haru said. Asuka looked at him disapprovingly. "Okay, I'm getting mad. Not Asuka-chan." Asuka laughed.

"That's cause Haru-kun's such a good nii-san!" Asuka sang.

"Wait, huh?" I asked.I looked at the two. "You're siblings?"

They looked at me, then eachother, then laughed. "Nah, we're just really close," Asuka told me with a smile. "Ever since Haru-kun saved me last game."

"What happened?" I asked.

"There's a rogue Reaper…" Haru told me. "Out to make the game more… interesting as he says. Asuka-chan was desperate for a partner last time… he had cornered her and was about to finish her off when I found them."

"Haru-kun swooped in and helped me beat him up!" Asuka said, clearly proud of their feat. "He really is a great nii-san." She smiled sweetly. I nodded.

"What was the guys name?" I asked. "I mean, he could still be out there, right?"

"Kuro-hane," Asuka said. "That's what he told me. I doubt that's his real name though…"

"Interesting name…" I said, thinking to myself. "What did he look like?" Asuka shook her head.

"I don't know," she told me. "Sorry."

"Its okay," I told her. I sighed, then looked at my hand. "HOLY FRICK!" I screamed, catching myself from swearing just in time.

"What?" Asuka demanded. She then looked at her hand. Once she had she began murmuring Kuso repeatedly to herself.

"We have a half hour left! How the hell are we supposed to fight the Noise if we can't even find it?" I demanded.

Haru sighed. "Okay, I didn't want to have to use this but I will," he said to us. He pulled a pin out of his pocket. It had a sword on it and I stared.

"What?" I asked.

"A keypin."

"Haru-kun, that's brilliant! Why didn't you tell me you had one?" Asuka demanded.

"I thought it would be cheating…" hetold us.

"Why do you care about cheating in this game?" Asuka demanded. "It's already screwed up as it is…"

"Guys!" Ryuu shouted. "Half hour! What the hell is keypin?"

"Right right…" Haru said. We walked up to the wall and he held out the keypin, but nothing happened."Eh… what?" Suddenly the keypin disappeared. "What?"

I began screaming swears. "What the hell do we do now?" I demanded. I happened to look down at my hands and once I had gotten a hold of what I saw, I stopped with a sigh. "Okay, this is pissing me off now."

"What?" Ryuu asked. He looked at his hands. "Oh… the clock is gone?"

The others looked at their hands. "Someone else must have gotten a keypin… and the GM probably deleted the keypin data after the Noise at the 104 building was erased…" Haru murmured.

"Well now what?" asked Asuka.

"I don't know," I told her. "I'm tired. Can we sleep?"

"Do you want to go shopping?" Asuka asked.

"I'm suddenly awake," I told her with a smile. Asuka laughed and we set off in the direction of the main shopping district while the boys, groaning, followed us.

(... sorry its sort of short... I'll get to Neku and the gang next chapter! I promise!)
