WARNING: SLASH IZUMI X NISHI

Before Reading: This is basically me making up a back story Nishi some of its off of Gantz minus other parts our obviously changed. Like Izumi has been in the game longer and oh yeah its slash lmao.

The more I write the more I like it because I can slowly make Nishi more like the way we know and love him. : )

Because for now I hate it because I have to make him toned down and just an unstable kid. I wrote this over a course of many drunken nights then found later and was like hey this aint half bad. So this the only thing I've ever writtin on this site that took more then a half an hour. XD

Chapter 1

Izumi always liked to place mental bets on new arrivals survival rate. He could have easily over looked the boy the night he first came to the room.

He was a school boy in his very early teens perhaps not even as the boy was so pathetically small.

His scared expression matched all the others. He gasped for breath shaking against the wooden floor. It was no different from any other young kid you saw get transported to the room. You knew they would get caught in the cross fire somehow or wander out of the area and be 'offed' by Gantz.

The boy eventually sat up and watched in confusion as the newbies scrambled around the room looking for an exit. He brought his knees to his chest quietly trying to calm himself still shaking uncontrollably.

As he finally manged to stand the ball chimed its happy tune and the boy took interest in the black ball right away. He ran his fingers over it cautiously touching the surface as he carefully read over the text. When the ball opened he look wide eyed at the cold weapons inside.

He almost looked happy.

This made Izumi grin as he stood behind the ball. The boy suddenly looked up at him. Extended eye contact was made. The boys eyes looked at him as if to see if touching the surface of sphere was acceptable or not. The man allowed my grin to widen a little and the boys eyes shined with a light only found in completely enthused children. The boy raided the ball grabbing a gun, his suit and some gadgets. He changed into the suit and examined everything he didn't take, poking and prodding the seemingly unconscious man inside the ball.

The curiosity of this boy kept Izumi with a small smile on his face. Izumi loved watching newbies crack. It would be hilarious to watch the innocence of this boy be shredded from him once reality set in.

Soon after the group was transferred to some dark ally. The boy was missing form the group.

Such a shame.

The veterans went their separate ways and the newbies mindlessly wondered to the boundary lines.

So it became like any other mission. The aliens were about seven feet tall. They were hideous, skinny, goblin looking creatures. There arms awkwardly long with sharp claws.

Izumi sliced the alien enemies down with his sword one after the other. He had faced scarier things and it didn't matter they weren't to challenging to fight. He spotted someone hiding just yards away while fighting. This person was in the shadow of a brick building.

It was the boy. He stood watching Izumi in complete awe a large grin plastered on his face.

Izumi's blade went through the last aliens skull. It was not a pretty sight. It struggled against the ground miraculously fighting to live, it crawling on its stomach to get away from Izumi. It gave out horrific screams as its blood spread out across the pavement. Its body finally stopped near the edge of the shadows that the boy was hiding in. He stepped over it out of the dark.

The boy was looking directly at Izumi with such a fixated stare. He was shaking but he didn't look scared. His face was a little tinted with blush. He wasn't hesitant at all in walking right up to a man who just brutally destroyed several monsters. He stopped a few feet in front of him. Izumi who towered over him. There was a serious look on his face but the blush seemed to have deepened.

He looked right into Izumi's eyes. This time his eyes were different. His dark eyes contained sparks of bright lights now. Something had been turned on or destroyed that much was clear.

"I'm Joichiro Nishi." Izumi watched him with a blank expression he seemed to be struggling to stop fidgeting.

"Shion Izumi" He said trying to sound uninterested when his interest had indeed been breech by this boy who just kept staring directly at him, with his composure slowly getting regained and his blush finally starting to subside.

"Tell me what you know about this." He calmly demanded.

Izumi didn't really know were to start. He didn't have much experience in trying to explain these things to people. Izumi put his sword away and walked to the edge of the sidewalk to sit down. Nishi stepping over the corpse came over sitting down next to the man. Nishi watched him curiously as he considered where to start.

"Well, the black ball in that room before, its called Gantz." Nishi watched him with an unchanging expression. Izumi paused searching for something to say.

"These suits we have on will protect us a little from injury, they also make us stronger." Izumi paused again. This was feeling more awkward by the second. He was starting to wonder why he was even going to the trouble.

"So, Gantz gives us missions to hunt aliens. There is a boundary and if you go outside of it Gantz will kill you." Izumi looked over to the boy. There was the look of disbelief and confusion plastered on his face.

"How does the ball do that?" Nishi asked looking bewildered.

"There's this little chip he puts in are brain. If we tell anyone what goes on here or try to escape he kills us." The boy looked down to the gun he had taken from the ball.

"I thought I died." He whispered. It almost seemed like he said it to himself. Izumi decided against saying anything about that topic now. It was something that he himself had a hard time with. Nishi sighed taking out the radar he examined the contraption frowning. He ran his fingers over the buttons.

"That one can make you invisible." Izumi said pointing to a switch. Nishi quirked an eyebrow up.

"Invisible?" He smiled shaking his head. He gave a very hollow sounding laugh, and then followed another awkward stretch of silence for another minute.

"Everything feels like some nasty dream." Nishi's voice wondered off and he started to shiver.

"Well its real." Izumi said in a deadpan tone.

"You better get used to it quick, or you'll die." Nishi looked up at him and blinked.

"Die huh?" He wrapped his arms around himself trying to keep warm.

"Well, considering everything that's happened..." He sighed and looked up at the stars. Izumi turned his head to look behind him. Where all the mangled bodies of the aliens lay proof. Nishi looked back on the carnage.

"Those ugly things are proof enough." He said quietly. Eyes fixated on the bodies with such curiosity. The blush coming back again.

"You were pretty amazing before." The boy commented offhandedly.
