Hello again ladies and gentlemen! This is one of two multi-chapter stories I have cross posted on both ArchiveofOurOwn and on Tumblr. I figured I might as well share it here as well. I'll be posting each chapter I have up to the most recent update everyday, and then I'll be trying to post a new chapter each Monday.

Some small notes before we continue: This is not meant to be a Kiyosaba romance, it is a friendship. The final pairing for Mukuro is still up in the air, and most of this is written in first person. Some of the chapters will also have a different format as I had written them for a school assignment, so be prepared for that as well.

That is all I have to say, so I won't be leaving any more authors notes for the rest of the story, unless I absolutely need to.

Junko Enoshima is bored. She hasn't gotten a good dose of despair in a while, not counting the small things (when Fujisaki "lost" his flash drive containing a week's worth of programming, or when Maizono had lost her voice before a show), but those weren't much, and the span of them had been too long for her to really feel the effects of the despair taking place. She needed something more.

Siting in the cafeteria, waiting for her sister to return with their lunch, listening to the idle chatter of her peers. She needed to think of something big, something that will really fill up someone with despair. But who could she use as her target?

"Junko, I brought you your lunch…" Junko looks up to see her sister Mukuro with two trays of food. Perfect! Some food should help brainstorm some new ways to spread her wonderful, luxurious despair!

"Thank you Mukuro-nee-chan. Now I can…" Junko paused as Mukuro places her tray in front of her. The best of the cafeteria food was placed in front of her, just at the right temperature and looking absolutely delicious...however...

"Hey, nee-chan, where's the pudding I asked for?"

Mukuro flinches, her eyes dropping to the floor. Junko gives her sister the most sickeningly sweet smile she could muster.

"I'm sorry, Junko, but they didn't have any ready at the counter…" Mukuro answers softly, unable to meet her sister's gaze. Junko felt her eye twitch. Normally, the this would cause her a small ounce of despair, and she would let her sister feel the same wonderful feeling she was...but...she didn't feel despair at all. At least, not enough for her to really want to spread it. All she could feel was anger, and that's what Junko decided she would spread to her sister.

"So you couldn't wait for them to make more? You decided that you wanted to just forget about the pudding? What kind of terrible sister are you?" Junko seethes, watching as her sister leans back, her disgustingly pasty face paling to an even fairer shade. "Well, don't just stand there, if you really are a good sister, you'll go get me the pudding I wanted!" Junko hisses out, and she watches as Mukuro apologizes, bowing her head before she turned and went to grab the pudding. Looking back to her food, Junko grabs her fork and stabs at the food harshly. What a disappointment her sister was. Super High School Disappointment, that's what Mukuro was. Before she could go further into her anger, a happy voice broke through behind her.

"Congratulations, Kirigiri! Aren't you excited?" Junko turns around to see Super High School Off-Key and Super High School Daddy's Brat sitting at a nearby lunch table, Maizono looking far too pleased for Junko's liking, while Kirigiri seemed unfazed, but Junko notices that there was a faint blush to her cheeks.

"I'm not entirely sure. I'm glad Naegi has agreed, perhaps now I'll be able to understand my situation better." Kirigiri responded.

"So where are you going to go? It's your first date after all, it should probably be somewhere nice, not too crowded, like maybe a cafe or a nice park stroll?"

Oh? What's this? Kirigiri has a date with Naegi? Interesting, perhaps she can cause some despair for them there? But how could she do it?

"Junko, I got the pudding you asked for, the first of the batch." Junko turns back around in time to see Mukuro set a cup of vanilla pudding on her tray. Junko wanted to scream at Mukuro, because her sister should know she hates vanilla pudding. It's so boring and stereotypical, just like Muk-

Wait. That's it.

"Thank you so much, Muku-nee-chan." Junko says, putting on her best cutesy voice. "I'm so sorry I got mad at you, nee-chan." She bats her eyes at her sister, a small pout on her lip-glossed lips, waiting for the inevitable forgiveness. It comes when Mukuro smiles at her softly, her shoulders slumping only a little bit.

"It's alright, Junko. It was my fault for not being a good sister."

"No, I insist, I have to make it up to you!" Junko says, before scooting over and motioning for Mukuro to sit beside her. "I had an idea about how you can win over Naegi." Junko whispers in a teasing voice, causing Mukuro to blush scarlet.

"Wha-"

"Please Muku-nee-chan? It'll be sure to work, I promise!" Junko says, and Mukuro looks around just in case before nodding.

"Well, if you want Naegi to notice you, you need to make him jealous."

"...Jealous?" Mukuro parrots, and Junko has to hold back a smirk. Instead, she nods eagerly before continuing.

"I just read about it in one of my favorite magazines. If you make yourself look unavailable, the more the guys will want you. So if you pretend to be in a relationship, then Naegi-kun will get super jealous, and will totally try and win you over from your 'boyfriend'." Junko says, her eyes glinting something dangerous. She watches in glee as Mukuro mulls this over.

"But, wouldn't that just turn him away instead?" Mukuro asks her, and Junko is prepared for this.

"A simple boy like Naegi? He'll practically be begging to be your boyfriend, especially with me helping you. No boy will be able to resist you!" Junko says, throwing her arm around her sister's shoulders, bringing her close into a hug. "All you have to do is find a boy who's willing to pretend to be your boyfriend, and leave the rest to me, okay?" Junko gives her the biggest puppy eyed look, and it only takes a moment until Mukuro cracks, smiling nervously at her sister.

"Thank you Junko. I'll find someone, alright?" Mukuro says, although she still looks completely nervous, to which Junko just laughs heartily and begins to eat, reassuring her stupid sister that everything would be fine.

Of course, what Mukuro didn't realize was that she was now Junko's target for the biggest amount of despair yet.

"Upupupupu!"
