-N.Y.-

"Ma'am, there is a executive meeting.", a guy told me, probably one of the militants. I nodded and made my way to the large hall room. Arriving there, Nigari and two other militants were In front of the door. "What are you doing here?", he immediately stepped to me and held his gun at my head. "Don't you remember? I'm an executive member." At my words he sighed and said: "Of course not, go in." He forgot, pretty dumb the dude. I walked to the door and opened it. Slowly I walked in, letting my eyes wander around the room. Chishiya was there, Arisu, number two, the emo girl, Aguni, last boss and some other militants. "What a surprise.", said I, as my eyes found the dead Hatter laying on the table. Chishiya gave me a small smile, but I didn't smiled back, my eyes were reading Aguni, who killed Hatter if course. Ann and the boy from the Tag game walked in, whose name I now found out whas Tatta. "Apparently, he couldn't clear the game. The maintenance team just happened to find him in Shinjuku while filling up gas." Ann walked to him and directly touched him, checking some medical things. "Hey, do me a favor and keep your hands off him. You're obsessed with dissecting things.", Naguri told her, who was now too in the room. "This is from a bullet. Did the game he was playing involve guns?", Ann noticed. "Seems like it. Apparently, people around the game are heard gunshots." Of course this was just a myth. If you know the games well, you know that every sound that happens inside the lasers, can't be heard from outside. Chishiya just shook his head slightly for me to notice. "Looks like he should've brought the militant corps along with him.", Niragi said, walking around the room. There was a silence then, until one of the little militants asked: "So now what? What happens to the Beach?" He's probably gonna die soon. "Nobody says a word about this, understood? We don't want people freaking out.", the black clothed woman said, her voice slightly being scary. "I'll step in as leader since I'm number two.", he said. "Wait a second", the piercing man started, "shouldn't the strongest person be the leader? In case you didn't know, we're the ones who have been getting rid of the traitors, but we've been thrown into the shadows the whole time. This bullshit ends now, you got that?" Then 2 started a speech about number 1 and number 2 blablabla. "Let's just be democratic and go with the majority. Who's with me and thinks that Aguni should be our new leader?" No one raised their hand. "Are you all serious right now? Last boss.", Niragi winked at him, letting him know what to do. Last boss walked to Ann, pulled out his katana and directed it into the direction of her. "So I'll ask again. Who thinks Aguni should be the leader?" Ann raised her hand, cause she had no other choice. "This, is not a democracy.", now Mira was the one who started talking. "But I think it is, isn't it?", Niragi said, pointing his gun at her, leaving her no other choice to put it up. "And how about the former number two over there? What do you think?" He raised his hand. Niragi turned around and looked at the young militant, who raised his hand quick just like the others. "And what about you?", Niragi pointed the gun now at Chishiya, who just looked calm and cold at him. "Chishiya, you're not looking down on us, are ya?" "Y'all morons in the corps?", the blond man now said. Niragi got closer and put his gun under Chishiya's chin. "Those eyes of yours piss me off sometimes, you know that? You really think you're better than us, don't ya?" A pair of seconds later, Chishiya pulled up both of his hands, backing away from Niragi. "I vote for Aguni to be the leader. I'm pretty sure that's what you wanted to hear, don't you?" The other man scoffed. "Well, let this be a reminder of how you should act in the future." Niragi walked now into my direction. "Who do we have here, the little girlfriend of Chishiya." As this words, Chishiya turned his head to me, but still with the emotionless face on. "At first at all, white jacket over there is not my boyfriend, by the way, how's your arm, Niragi?" He scoffed again, looking quick to last boss, who was in seconds pointing his katana at me. "Should I be scared now?", I asked. My left hand grabbed the sword, but I didn't took it from him, just letting to see them that I wasn't scared from dying. "Psychopath.", Niragi whispered, but I still heard him. "Now give me an answer, little Psychopath." I slowly raised my hurted hand. "Are you happy now?" Before he could walk away, I splashed some of my blood at his face. "Oops." Niragi continued walking around, until all hands were up. "All right. Looks like we have a unanimous decision. So, we've got a new leader right?" Then Mira said something about if the hatter would be alive and some other stuff. Niragi punched a few times the Hatter with his gun. "That's enough", Aguni suddenly said, "From this day onwards, I will be the Beach's new king." His footman walked next to him. "Well, let's hear it for the king, huh?" He started clapping. This man is dumber than I thought. "Okay, boss. Time for the succession ceremony, right? Maybe you should open the black envelope." Chishiya smiled at that, he told me already about it. There is probably the code for the safe in it. But I don't think so.

Aguni cut the envelope open and pulled out what it was. I knew directly, cause what was on the card, could be seen through. It could be seen that his face was confused as he looked at it. He put it back again into a new envelope and seals it. Then we all signed it, including me. Chishiya was watching the whole progress just like I did. I sat next to him, cause he was the newest before me. As he reached it over to me, our fingers touched slightly. He had very warm hands, probably because he has them always in his pocket. Mine on the other side were cold, what he noticed too.

"First, Yuna will infiltrate the royal suite. Then she'll search for the safe, and steal all the playing cards inside." He laid a walkie-talkie on the table. I took it without saying something. "Usagi, Arisu and Kuina will be on the lookout." Shuntaro laid another three walkie-talkies on the table. "This is too dangerous. They'll kill us if they see us.", Usagi said, looking pretty uncomfortable in her outfit. I was wearing some shorts and a top. Chishiya's jacket I was wearing too, it was comfortable and made me feel more safe in my outfit. It looked like he noticed that already, because he was checking me out every minute. What he also noticed, that I had a bandage around my hand cause of the big cut. "I don't think we have any other choice. Now that Hatter's dead, the unity in the beach is wavering. I think this plan could work for us."

While it was announced that there would be a new leader, our plan started. Chishiya said he would be in the near of them, informing us if they would walk somewhere different. "Alright, the new leader is making a speech in the lobby. All members of the executive and the militant corps are here at the annex. We're not gonna get another chance like this." , I heard Chishiya saying. Well, all executives were there expect me. My body moved to the apartment and I walked directly to the deer picture. In the black envelope was a drawing of it. "I'll let you guys know if there are any changes here. I'm counting on you, Yuna." "Copy that." I hung the picture down and behind it was a small safe in the wall. "Found it." I typed in the code and quickly picked up the cards. Running then out of the room. As I opened the door, Aguni and the militants were in front of me. Chishiya was also there. "Hello dears, I searched Aguni. Someone told me he was searching me. The blue cap guy, you know who I mean." My eyes landed on Chishiya, he was staring at the ground, again this cold look. "My dear king Aguni here was the whole time in the lobby, announcing who's now the leader here. And there, you were supposed to be too." I quickly changed my face into a shocking look. Fake, of course. "Oh my god! I totally forgot, I didn't thought about it cause the boy told me. I'm so sorry!" Now I started to cry. "Don't cry bitch. We'll let you go. If this happens again, you're dead." I nodded and thanked them, walking out of the room with Chishiya behind me. As we were far enough away, I wiped the tears out of my face and put my cold face again on. "You're good. It's surprising me, they let you go after all. How did you found out it was behind the picture?", he said. "There's no way they'd keep the cards in an ordinary safe. It was very dumb, to draw the code on such a thin paper." I lifted the corner of my mouth. "You saw it too." I nodded, taking the cards out and giving him them. "So, was it really worth sacrificing Tatta?", I asked. "Yeah, well, you gotta give something to get something. He was a pawn, that's all. Shit happens." I was actually surprised by him coursing, cause I don't think I ever saw that before. "Yeah, well all I know, is that I sure as hell wouldn't want to be your enemy.", I coursed back. "Yeah, i get that a lot."

We walked out of the building into the garden. I walked into the direction of an archway. Just before I could walk through it, Chishiya stopped me with him holding his arm in front of my body. "Wait." He took off his locker key and threw it through it, the key only to be met with a invisible laser wall. "Wow, that was unexpected." We turned around, only to see all the laser forming around the beach. A announcement suddenly was called through the speakers. "We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for staying at Seaside Paradise, Tokyo. As a token of our appreciation, we will now commence a game with all 59 participants in the venue.", a Male voice spoke. "Finally, I was getting annoyed by the womans voice." Chishiya looked at me with his eyebrows together. "Don't do that, you will become wrinkles."
