(This was a bitch to write. I didn't realise how hard it was to write what was basically a full episode. Don't worry, Jack of Hearts is still coming, and I am slowly writing it up. But that too is a bitch to write. But i', determined to get it done. So don't worry. I just hope I did this game justice, if not, then I'm worried for Jack of Hearts, and any other things that actually happen in the show.)

Summary: You and your boyfriends play the 5 of Spades game, Tag.

----

It was time to play another game, though this time, it was just you and your boyfriends going. Poor Chota was hurt in your first game and had trouble walking without crutches. Though you didn't like the idea of leaving him behind, at least he wouldn't be alone. The four of you had made acquaintance with a woman named Shibuki, whom you met in your first game, Dead or Alive. Which was a 3 of Clubs game. You weren't sure what to think of her, nor was Arisu. But Karube didn't trust her.

It had been Karube's idea for the three of you to play again. Hoping to figure the game out and to hopefully find a doctor to help Chota. Walking up to the arena, which was apartments. The three of you made your way up the stairs. Instantly, you noticed this game had many more people than the last game.

"There are a lot of people here. Maybe one's a doctor." Karube stated as the three of you walked inside and over to the table. You each picked up a phone. The three of you made your way back to the entrance and looked around at the people there. You let out a shaky breath as you turned to your boyfriends. And then the phone chimed.

"Registration has closed. There are a total of 14 participants. The game will now commence."

A heavy sigh let your lips. Looks like you were playing now. Suddenly, a voice beside Arisu pulled your attention. "E--Excuse me. What is this? I was brought here and I... I don't know what's going on." Oh, it was his first night here. You and Arisu both felt bad for the poor guy.

"It's a game." Arisu began, willing and ready to help the stronger in a hat out.

"Shut up." Karube said, getting closer to the two of you. "Newbies will slow us down." He was right in a way, but it was so cold of him. "They might hate us. But I think it'd be a good idea to do what Shibuki did." You couldn't help but look at him in shock.

"Karube." Your voice came out quiet, shaky. You couldn't possibly use people, right? Karube looked between the two of you and sighed. He kept his voice low. "If it means getting the two of you out of here alive, I'm willing to try anything at this point."

"Difficulty, Five of Spades."

"The five of spades?" Karube asked in confusion. Were all the games different?

"It's gonna be physical." A voice said, drawing the three of yours attention. You let out a groan. "Does that mean running?" You asked, already hating the idea.

"Only the strong survive." The man continued, ignoring your question as he walked over to the three of you. "I'm Nitobe. Nice to meet you." He held his hand out to shake, but none of you moved to shake his hand. Well, you were going to, but the look in Karube's eyes said not to.

"The suit means something?" Arisu asked in confusion.

"Exactly." Nitobe chucked, as he walked to Arisu, hand still extended. Arisu took his hand and shook it. "The suit of the playing card usually means what kind of game it's gonna be. Clubs is a team battle. Diamonds if your wit. And as for Hearts...that's the worst one." He giggled, causing you to step back a little. Why was he so gleeful about this? It was unsettling.

"Why's that?" Arisu asked, curious.

"Huh? Because you're playing with people's hearts, then tear them apart." Nitobe got a little too close to Arisu for your liking, so you gently pulled on your boyfriend's sleeve to pull him back a little bit.

"And the numbers?"

"Difficulty. The higher the number on the card, the harder it is." Nitobe walked a little away from he three of you to lean against a wall.

"Game is 'Tag'." "Rule. Avoid whoever is 'It'"

That had everyone murmuring among themselves.

"So who's it?" Arisu asked as he looked between you and Karube. You shrugged. It was a good question.

"How should I know?" Karube responded, giving Arisu a look that said 'Did you really ask me that?'

"Clear Condition: Discover and touch the symbol hidden in one of the building's rooms within the time limit. You clear the game when this objective is fulfilled."

"Time limit, 20 minutes. After twenty minutes, the time bomb hidden in the building will explode."

You sucked in a breath. There was a bomb? You shoved the phone into your pocket. You suddenly felt Karube and Arisu each take one of your hands in theirs. You followed them to and up the stairs. The man, Nitobe, is following the three of you.

"Stop following us." Karube was getting annoyed that this guy was following the three of you. You made your way onto the fifth floor.

The man laughed. "Just feeling you guys out. I'm thinking you three might be good enough to be my allies."

"Lucky us." You mumbled as you rolled your eyes. Why was this guy smiling and laughing? Karube took the lead, walking in front of the group. He pulled you closer to him, leaving Arusi to ask the man questions.

"Are you a doctor?" Arisu asked.

"Nope, real estate agent." Damn, you needed a doctor.

"How many times have you played the games?

"Let's see maybe five times?"

"And you've always won?"

"I guess so, yeah." There was that fucking chuckle again.

"The Game will now commence. The time limit is 20 minutes. Commence now. The tagger is on the move."

------

Loud fanfare music suddenly played.

Then everything went eerily quiet.

After a moment. The three of you began walking, with Nitobe still following.

"Alright. Let's find a room we can get into." Arisu spoke, walking to a door and trying to open it. No luck. It was locked. So he tried the next door. Same result. Karube jogged ahead. "We have to get our asses moving." He, too, tried a door, but it wouldn't open.

"Three minutes have passed."

You made your way to the stairs, hand in hand with Arisu, just as you were ready to go up, a gunshot was heard. Causing you all to stop. You backed up, bumping into Arisu. "Sorry." Arisu shook his head, brushing it off, knowing you hadn't meant to.

The boys made their way infront of you as they assended the stairs, slowly and quietly. A dead body came down the stairs, causing you to jump. Your heart was races.

"He's dead." Nitobe stated. No fucking shit.

Arisu let out a shaky breath as Karube took the lead, stepping forward and heading around the corner to see who or what was at the top of the stairs. Arisu quickly joined him. Footsteps approached, and there stood a man with a horse mask on. Gun in hand. The gun was raised and then-

"Arisu!" They jumped back. Karube put the two of you in front of him, facing the stairs. You followed Arisu down the stairs. "Run!" "Don't look back!" "Keep going!" You let out a gasp as Nitobe pushed past you, almost knocking you down the stairs, however, Karube had grabbed onto you from behind before you could fall. Nitobe ran down another flight of stairs.

"Karube, wait!" Arisu grabbed his hand, pulling him back. Karube had been ready to continue going downstairs.

"What are you doing?" The three of you ran past some doors to a little cutout in the wall, where the three of you just about fit. The three of you stayed as quiet as possible, waiting for the tagger to leave. And he did.

Once you knew you were safe, you let out a choked sob. The two males looked at you. "Baby," Karube spoke quietly, wiping your tears away with the pad of his thumb. Arisu took your hand in his and gently played with your fingers. "Listen to me, I need you to focus, okay? The only way for the three of us to survive is if we're all focused and working together. I promise, you can cry as much as you want later. We'll hold you. But right now, I need you to push it down, breathe for us and focus on staying alive with us. Can you do that, baby?"

You sucked in a breath and nodded you head. You slowly calmed yourself down. "I can do that." Your voice came out broken, and it was like a punch to the heart for both males.

"That's our girl." Arisu kissed your forehead, and then Karube kissed the crown of your head. With that, the three of you ran. You checked every door you came across, just in case. Eventually the three of you found a place to hide after spotting the masked person.

"What are gonna do man?" Karube asked. "If you have a solution, now's the time."

"I don't no what to do against something like that."

"Come on man, think."

"Why don't you think of something?"

"Would you two please, stop."

The three of you gasped and ducked down as the figure turned to face you. Arisu shuddered. You stayed quiet as Arisu peaked his head over the wall. "He didn't see us. His vision is narrowed because of the mask."He stated as you and Karube slowly peered over the wall. "That's his weak point. This might be a way to get through the game."

Arisu jumped up and began to run. You followed after him, and Karube followed you. "Everyone! He's up here!" Arisu shouted.

"Hey!" Karube sprinted forward and grabbed Arisu's shoulder.

"Over here, he's on the second level!"

"You'll get us killed!"

"He can't see properly! Because of his mask! Tell us where he is if you see him, and let's all look for the symbol!"

"He's in the fourth-level hallway in the central building!" A female voice ran out. Hmm, of course, Arisu's idea worked. He was so smart.

"Game over in 8 minutes. There are currently 8 survivors."

As you went to try another door, gunshots rang out. The male from the start of the game, the one who had asked for help, ducked behind a wall. The bullets were hitting the wall and the door he had been in front of.

"Hey! Yo! Over here! Hey!" The guy sobbed, clearly scared as he ignored Arisu's words. Without hesitation, Arisu shoved his phone in his pocket and crawled over to the crying man. "Arisu!" You tried to reach forward to grab him, but Karube pulled you back. "Don't even think about it, Princess." He whispered to you. He looked over at Arisu. "Leave him! We gotta get out of here!"

"Come on, man. You can't stay here." Arisu grabbed the guy, and the two made their way back to you. Bullets are still flying. The four of you then ran to the stairs. You hid in the stairwell as Karube pulled out a knife.

"He has a machine gun!" Arisu said. Because was Karube really going to bring a knife to a gun fight?

"So? The tagger's human." A man stated as he came into view. He was big. His hands were in his pockets. He looked like the kind of man who could and would break anyone who got in his way, or a good candidate for a human teddy bear. "He's 190 centimeters tall and weighs 90 kilos, and he's right-handed. He's a pretty good shot, too. Probably military or law enforcement."

"How in the scooby-doo do you know that?" You asked, feeling both confused and impressed. The man looked at you for a moment, causing Karube to subtly pull you behind him.

"Aguni." A voice called out from behind the man, taking his attention. He handed Aguni a fire extinguisher. Arisu immediately took notice of the bracelets around their wrists. They had numbers on them. He was going to keep that in the back of his brain.

"Use this." Aguni held the fire extinguisher out to Karube. Karube just looked at him in confusion. Aguni walked up to Karube and placed it into his arm. "Let's get this guy." The two looked at each other for a moment. Aguni then turned his attention to you and Arisu. "You two, go look for the symbol."

"What? Hey! Why should we do what you say?" Karube didn't like that this guy was bossing the three of you around and was separating him from the two of you.

"I got it. I'll go up to the top." Arisu walked up to the top of the staircase.

"Arisu!" You and Karube called out to him. "I don't like this." Karube continued. "Should we really be splitting up?" You added.

"There's no other choice." Before any of you could speak again, a woman's voice came from the side. "I checked the south side of the fifth floor. And the south and east side of the sixth floor. Let's split up and find the symbol."

Arisu nodded his head in agreement. "I didn't check the first and second floors." He told her. The woman then nodded her head. The fact that she was just on the ledge looking so casual gained a lot of respect from you. Suddenly, she jumped down after confirming she would check. The three of you watched her climb down the walls.

"That was kinda hot." You confessed. Causing your boyfriends to look at you. "Really?" They asked you, causing you to giggle and bite your lip. "I'm just teasing."

"It's time to take this guy out."

'Five minutes remaining in the game.'

"See you both later." Karube gave you both a quick peck on the lips before following Aguni and the other man down the stairs. Meanwhile, you and Arisu made your way up to the seventh floor, checking every door you came across. However, you soon ran out of doors on that floor. Arisu looked over at the rest of the building. That he got that look in his eye. That smart little twinkle that always told you he was about to show off his brain power. It was always very sexy.

"Why would he shoot from so far away?" He asked you.

You thought for a moment. "Because he didn't like the person. No wait, let me think." The two of you looked at each other and then the realisation dawned on you. "The symbol." Arisu grabbed your hand and ran with you to the stairs and down to the door.

---

As you got there, a man with white hair, wearing a white jacket, was walking in your direction, heading to the door. "Figured it out too, huh?" He asked the two of you. Oh, he was a cutie. "Yeah, the symbols's in here." You answered cheerfully, happy that you were that much closer to winning the game. Arisu grabbed the handle, but he just stood there for a moment, thinking.

"Gonna open it?" The man asked. "Why was he chasing us?" Arisu replied. "He could've just waited." That made you frown. "Guess there's something we don't know." The blonde man pulled out his phone, showing the two of you the time. "Except, not much time left." His voice sounded almost taunting.

"Three minutes remaining in the game."

Arisu turned the doorknob and opened the door. He peeked inside before stepping into the apartment. You looked over at the stranger who held the door open. "After you." He spoke. You giggled. "Such a gentleman. Thank you." You followed Arisu, walking deeper into the apartment. The man is not far behind you. Your boyfriend walked over to a door. The three of you huddled around it.

You looked over at the stranger. "Hey, you don't happen to be a doctor, do you?" You asked curiously, thinking of Chota. The male locked eyes with you. Then you saw movement from the corner of your eye. "Look out!" You screamed after looking at the figure. There stood a person in a mask, gun aimed at the three of you. Arisu pulled you out of the way, covering your body with his. He held you close to his chest, blocking your ears with his hands.

The stranger dove to the side. He pulled something out and tasered the masked person. The person fell to the floor. The three of you got up and looked down at the masked person. Then all of a sudden, the person held up their gun and shot. Arisu pushed you out of the way. He ran to the door and went inside. The stranger grabbed your wrist and pulled you out of the apartment, slamming the blue door behind you.

You panted heavily. "Thank you." You said as you looked at him. Then your eyes went wide. Arisu. He was alone in there. You turned to open the door. "Don't." The man told you as he grabbed the handle.

"Someone get over here! The symbol's up here! Room 406!" You heard Arisu's voice. He sounded okay. "I can't clear the game alone. We need two people to do it!"

"Seriously?" The white haired male asked. He sighed and opened the door, walking inside. You followed after him. You walked to the room and had to jump back as bullets flew your way. "Someone! Help me!" You couldn't just stand there whilst one of your boyfriends was in serious danger. So you ran to the room and kicked the masked person in their back. Your eyes went wide as the figure faced you. Arisu fought with the person before anything could actually happen to you.

"You called?" Came a voice from the window. Climber girl. "Here!" A voice came from behind you. White jacket guy. He threw you his taser, music player thingy. You caught it and turned to the masked person. You shocked them in the stomach and watched them fall to the ground.

"The button." Arisu and the girl both got up and ran to the buttons, thankfully pressing them with a second to spare.

"Game Cleared. Congratulations."

The four of you -you, Arisu, the climber girl and the stranger- all looked towards the whimpering woman. Her horse mask is now off. Then all of a sudden, the collar around her neck beeped, and she was dead. There was a lot of blood. You sat there frozen.

----

You and Arisu went off to find Karube, hand in hand. Arisu felt guilty about the woman's death. When you found Karube, you kissed him, as did Arisu. You ripped the bottom of your shirt and wrapped it around KArube's wound. You and Arisu helped him back to the mall. He was hurt, and you were both really worried. On the way back, you took turns explaining what had happened.

Once in the mall, you went off to find a first aid kit. The three of you sat down together. You tended to Karube's wound as he held Arisu close to his good side. "I'm glad you're both okay. That you aren't hurt." Karube spoke after a few minutes of silence.

You smiled up at him sweetly. "I love you both." You told your two loves. You leaned up and kissed them both. First Karube and then Arisu. Then your boyfriend's kissed. The kisses were soft, sweet. All held a thankfulness for the others being alive. The three of you held hands and just let the events of the night wash over you.

You felt tears come to your eyes. Arisu pulled you onto his lap. The three of you snuggled up together. The guys held you as you cried. The emotions had finally let themselves out. And both of your boyfriends were happy to hold you and each other. To comfort you and each other.

For now, the three of you and Chota were safe. Hopefully, the four of you would make it home alive together.
