Alice speaking! So, this is the first fanfic in forever. I'm hoping to draw this out a little bit more than my other fanfics, which were brief. It's almost five in the morning, so if I made a mistake... I'm too tired to give a damn. The pairing is Josh x Neku from The World Ends With You. It takes place after the last scene. I haven't played through all the secret endings and stuff, so sorry if I'm not too fine tuned with the characters. Please leave me comments, cause I love me some feedback. Well, time to me a little Josh doll... (Please check out my collection on my page! They're adorable!) Then I'll make a Neku, if I'm not too lazy. ;; Well, enjoy the story, and I'll write more and post if you guys want me to!

The sound of people talking. The sounds of the chaotic city. It was all too loud. Everything was clashing together, and reverberated in the stifling Shibuya air. Neku Sakuraba opened his eyes to the now familiar sight of the Scramble Crossing. He took in a breath, and sobbed.
"Why?" he cried, hoping someone would answer. "Why the hell am I still here?!"
"Ah, Neku. Why are you crying, dear?" an irritably familiar voice sounded from behind Neku.
"Joshua... Why am I still in the UG? You promised... I just wanna go home..." he cried desperately. His whole body shook from the anger and sadness he felt.
Even so, the silver-haired boy did not do as much as to utter a breath of remorse. "Why, Neku, of course you're still here. You were unable to beat my Game. You didn't pull the trigger. You're here because of you, Neku. Nobody else is responsible for this." Joshua extended his arm to Neku, offering him a hand. Neku glared and slapped Joshua's hand away, then proceeded to get up and wipe away the few tears that had escaped his eyes.
"You insensitive prick. I trusted you. In fact, for whatever reason, I still trust you. So why this, Joshua? Why can't I just go home? Everyone's waiting for me to come back home... Right?" Neku's expression gave away all of his feelings. Joshua could see the insecurity and fear painted elaborately across the redhead's face. It was such a beautiful and vulnerable face, but Joshua withheld the urge to caress and hold him.
"Neku, I understand that you've been here a while, but won't you play one more Game with me? We can even forget the guns this time," Joshua giggled sarcastically, which made Neku cringe.
"What's your Game this time?" Neku whispered, as if he would lose his second chance if he spoke any louder.
"The rules are simple, hun. I want you to become my Conductor. If you do this, then you could go to the RG whenever you pleased. Isn't that a sweet deal, Neku? Power and friends," the Composer purred.
Neku stared at Joshua in disbelief. "A sweet deal?! You must be fucking insane if you think that I'd want to become something like you, even for an instant!" he yelled, rage in his voice.
"Then," Joshua growled, showing real emotion. "You will suffer the consequences? Your other choice is to return to the RG... But nobody will remember you. Your parents, your precious friends, nobody."
"I-I... I can't become a Reaper. I don't want that at all. You should understand that, Josh. You were my partner for my second week," Neku murmured in answer to the other boy's outburst.
"That is not anything of my concern. I own everything, and I rule Shibuya. You can either play in this little game, or I could just erase you. Simple, no?" The alluring, fake smile returned again to Joshua's angelic face, and his form was graceful once more. He brushed a stray lock of silver hair from him face and gestured to Neku, letting him know that the ball was in his court.
"I... How long do I have to decide?" Neku finally said. He knew that he needed time before making such a decision.
"Hmm... Three days. Timer starts... Now," Joshua smirked as Neku grimaced, the timer on his hand coming to life.
02:24:59:46
Neku's time had started.
"I'll even be as nice as to find you when your time's up, so that you don't have to run to find me. Aren't I just darling, Neku?"
"Fuck you, Josh. Just leave me be until the timer's up." Neku then ran off wherever he could get to. He just wanted to be anywhere that was away from the Composer, who stood in the middle of the Scramble, smiling contentedly.
