Four months before the Tragedy
Makoto and Kyoko were walking home from Hope's Peak after seeing Junko. The pair had mixed feelings on the events that took place in Junko's dorm room.
Both were jumped by Junko herself and forced kissed the pair. Which still annoyed Kyoko and now the couple has an unwanted servant in Mukuro.
The couple made it back to Makoto's home, and they headed into the kitchen where they found Makoto's mother cleaning the dishes.
"Finally! You two are home. I was getting worried," Mrs Naegi said. "School finished ages ago, and it's nearly 7 pm.
"We were held back by something, and then we went for a walk together," Makoto lied.
"For this long?" His mother questioned him.
"Yes, mum," Makoto replied emotionless.
"Very well," Mrs Naegi sighed. "What do you two want for dinner?"
"Nothing Mrs Naegi," Kyoko replied. "Makoto and I got something to eat before we came home," she lied.
Mrs Naegi looked at the couple and felt something was wrong. But she felt it was better not to ask questions. She went back to her dishes, and the couple grabbed each a can of juice. Then they headed to their room.
Once inside Makoto and Kyoko sat on their bed.
"Kyoko," Makoto said softly. "I think we have made a big mistake."
"Agreed!" Kyoko said firmly. "We are stupid to say yes to Enoshima. When she didn't even give us her full plan."
"We got caught up in the moment," Makoto replied. "The way Enoshima spoke to us seductively and that kiss… Kyoko forgive me."
"Makoto, you do not need to apologise to me. I got kissed as well," Kyoko said annoyed.
"I know that," he replied. "But at the end of the kiss…. I began to enjoy it, and I hate myself for it."
"I enjoyed the kiss too," Kyoko sighed as she shook her head.
Makoto looked at his girlfriend in shock. "Wait! You did?"
"Yes! But I can't explain why I began to enjoy it. I'm not even into girls," Kyoko replied.
She took off her gloves and grabbed Makoto's hand and held it. "You don't have to worry Makoto. I'm still yours, and you are mine. Nothing will ever change that!" She said smiling at him.
"Nothing will Kyoko," he said smiling back. "But what do we do now?"
"We have two options," Kyoko said. "The first one is that we tell Enoshima we regret our choice and what nothing to do with her. Second is we ask her what her plan is and if she has one, then I guess all is well."
"But can we just let billions of people die for our selfish desire for a better world?" Makoto replied.
Kyoko didn't reply as she didn't have the answer for him.
"Kyoko if we go through with this. There is no turning back for us."
"I'm aware," Kyoko replied. "Makoto, we need to think long and hard about this."
"I know we do!" He replied softly. Then he looked at their hands holding each other, and he saw Kyoko's burned hand. He tightens his grip on her hand.
'Never again! I will not see Kyoko in pain as long as I live!' He thought to himself as he began to get flashbacks of seeing Kyoko's hands in the pot of hot boiling water.
There was a knock on their door. "Makoto, Kyoko may I come in?" Mr Naegi asked.
Kyoko quickly put her gloves back on, and she nodded at her boyfriend.
"Yes, you can," Makoto replied.
His father opened the door and walked in. "I'm sorry to bother you two. But your mother is worried about you two."
"We are fine dad!" Makoto sighed.
"I'm pretty sure you two are," his father replied. "But it was pretty late that you two got home."
"We got held up and then we for a walk," Makoto replied.
"Yeah, I know your mum told me," his father replied. "Makoto, listen to me. After everything that you and Kyoko have gone through. Your mother and I can't help but worry."
"Then please stop dad!" Makoto said firmly. "Kyoko and I are old enough to look after ourselves."
"We can never stop worrying Makoto!" His father replied firmly. "Maybe when you and Kyoko become parents you will understand what your mum and I go through. However, I will say this. After what you two have gone through. We are both worried that you two will end up in the wrong crowd."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Makoto said in anger. "We are not bad people father!"
"I know you two aren't," Mr Naegi said as he tried to calm down his son. "But some people who have a bad time growing up go down a dark path in their older years."
"Great thanks dad for having faith in us," Makoto said sarcastically.
Mr Naegi knew he made a mistake in trying to talk to Makoto and Kyoko. While she didn't say anything yet. But he knew that Kyoko would agree with Makoto.
"Mr Naegi," Kyoko said softly. "You and Mrs Naegi don't need to worry about us. Because as long as I have Makoto and he has me. Then we are both fine. Your son has helped me in my time of need. Likewise, I've done with him."
"I know that Kyoko. But as I've said before when you two have children, then you will worry about them as much as my wife and I did with Makoto, Komaru and now you."
Makoto took a big breath with he heard Komaru's name. "Father please leave!"
Mr Naegi shook his head and then left the room.
"Are you ok?" Kyoko asked her boyfriend.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Makoto said sadly. "I wish my parents would stop bringing up Komaru. Six years gone and it still kills me that I took Komaru away from them."
Makoto started to cry, and Kyoko hugged him tightly.
"Let it all out Makoto. I'm here for you always," Kyoko whispered.
"Thank you, Kyoko!" He sobbed.
Next day
The couple walked into the school grounds, and they saw Mukuro was waiting for them at the gates.
"Morning Master, Mistress," Mukuro said weakly. "How can I serve you both?"
"Where is your sister?" Kyoko asked.
"She is busy right now," Mukuro replied. "But she does need to speak to you two. She forgot to tell you two the plan she has."
"Very well," Kyoko replied. "When will she be free?"
"I'm not sure," Mukuro replied. "She doesn't tell me much. But she has ordered me to obey any commands that you two may have."
"I have one command that I want you to carry out," Makoto said.
"What is it, Master?" Mukuro asked weakly. While Kyoko looked surprised.
"In those few moments that I'm not with Kyoko. You will keep an eye on her and make sure she is safe understood?"
"Of course, Master!" Mukuro bowed.
"Ikusaba, stop bowing right now you will cause as a scene," Makoto said firmly.
Mukuro stood up straight and said. "Sorry, Master!"
"Makoto, I disapprove of this order for Ikusaba!" Kyoko said annoyed.
Makoto grabbed her gloved hands, and he stared into her eyes. "Kyoko let this one slide, please. When I saw your hands last night, it brought back flashbacks of that awful night with your grandfather. I don't want to see you hurt again or worse lose you."
"Fine!" Kyoko sighed.
"Kyoko, thank you," Makoto smiled. "Having the Ultimate Soldier by your side you will be safe, and that put my fear to rest."
"What about you?" Kyoko asked. "I find it unfair that you won't have anyone watching out for you."
"I will be fine," Makoto said firmly.
Kyoko nodded, and she turned to Mukuro. "Ikusaba, from now meet us in a less open area, please. It will bring us unwanted attention."
"Yes, Mistress," Mukuro replied.
"Another thing, call us by our second names. Now leave us!" Kyoko said firmly.
"Understood, but before I go," Mukuro said. "Junko heard rumours about a secret room in the second floor of the old school building. She was hoping that the Ultimate Detective could find it."
"A secret room?" Kyoko replied surprised. "That would be useful to have."
Mukuro nodded to the pair and walked away.
"I'm going to look for this room Makoto," Kyoko smirked.
"I will help you," Makoto said.
"Thank you, Makoto," Kyoko replied smiling warmly.
The couple walked into the school and reached their class. The pair froze as they saw everyone talking to each other and having a laugh.
The realization hurt the pair that the class was going to be ripped apart by Junko's plan.
"Hey Naegi, Kirigiri," Mondo grinned. "It looks like you two just saw a ghost."
"G-Ghost where?" Toko jumped.
"No ghost will ever scare us!" Makoto chuckled. He and Kyoko walked into the classroom. Kyoko went to her desk. Then she watched Sayaka walked to Makoto who just sat down at his desk.
'Maybe ruling the world won't be such a bad idea. I will make your life a living hell Maizono. Trust me!' Kyoko thought.
"Hey, Makoto," Sayaka smiled warmly. "How are you?"
"I'm good you?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm good thanks," Sayaka replied. "The class is going out for lunch. I was wondering if you wanted to join us?"
"What about Kyoko?" Makoto said raising his eyebrow at Sayaka. Which made her feel nervous.
"Oh yeah… She can come as well," Sayaka replied.
Sayaka secretly hoped that Makoto and Kyoko would break up. So she could start dating Makoto. She was trying to spend as much time with Makoto in hopes that he would grow feelings for her and in turn dump Kyoko for her.
"Sorry I'm not interested," Makoto replied emotionless. "I've already made plans with my GIRLFRIEND!" He said raising his voice.
Everyone stopped talking and were shocked that Makoto raised his voice.
"Maizono take the hint will you!" He snapped. "Everyone knows that you have this massive crush on me. But can't you see that I'm happy with Kyoko. Honestly, grow up! You and I will never happen so drop it please!"
Sayaka was left completely horrified. She had never seen Makoto snap like that before. Tears began to form around her eyes, and she ran out of the classroom.
"Maizono wait!" Aoi shouted as she chased after the idol.
"That wasn't cool bro," Mondo said annoyed as he walked up to Makoto's desk. "There was no need to snap at her like that."
"As if I care what you think Owada!" Makoto said firmly.
The biker was shocked at Makoto's reply.
"Naegi, what is wrong you?" Taka asked. "You've never acted this way before."
"I have a lot of stuff on my mind that's all," Makoto replied. "Hopefully Maizono knows her place now!"
"Bro, you sound like Togami now," Mondo groaned.
"Hardly!" Byakuya said. "Naegi is in a bad mood nothing more."
'Togami, one day you will know your place as well!' Makoto thought to himself.
The class watched Sayaka and Aoi walked back into the room. Makoto sent a pricing glare to Sayaka, and it felt a dragger was pushed into her heart. But she refused to give up.
'Makoto, I will make you mine. I won't stop until I convince you I'm the one for you. Trust me. Kirigiri he will be mine that I can promise!' Sayaka thought to herself as she clenched her fists in anger.
A week later
Makoto and Kyoko were on the second floor in the old school building looking for the secret room. The pair sent 10 minutes after school per day to look for the room, but the couple was unsuccessful.
"Kyoko, we have searched every room, and we still haven't found this secret room," Makoto said defeated. "I bet you Enoshima has been pulling our leg this whole time."
"I don't think she is," Kyoko replied. "She could have got Ikusaba to search the whole second floor top to bottom. But she has told us about it, and we will find it."
"Someone is determined," Makoto chuckled.
Kyoko gives Makoto a small smirk, and she went up to his ear.
"Once we find this room, I will push you against its walls and kiss you," she whispered.
"I like the sound of that," Makoto replied. "Before we search some more I'm going to use the toilet."
"Ok, but before you go. Once you're done in there. Check out the room. It's the only room we haven't done apart from the female toilets," Kyoko said.
"Will do, I won't be long," Makoto replied.
He headed for the men's toilet, and he did his business. Once he was finished, he looked around the room, and everything seemed to be in place. Then he searched each cubical and when he got to the last one.
He felt something was off. He tried to flush the toilet but nothing worked, and then he leaned his hands on the wall and more to his surprise. The wall moved back and revealed the secret room.
"Bingo!" He grinned and left the cubical and headed for the exit to find Kyoko waiting outside.
"Any luck?" Kyoko asked.
"Of course, I am the Ultimate Lucky Student after all," he said rolling his eyes. "It's inside come on, and I will show you."
Kyoko looked around to make sure nobody was around. Even though they were in the old school building. She and Makoto can never be too careful.
The couple headed inside with Makoto leading Kyoko to the last cubical. The pair walked into the secret room and noticed straight that there were two chairs within the room.
"This room has been used recently," Kyoko said. "Makoto let's get out of here. In case we get caught."
"Ok, let's go," Makoto replied.
The couple turned around, but both froze as they heard the men's toilet door close.
Makoto quickly stood in front of Kyoko in case anything bad happened. However, the couple were surprised to see Junko walking into the cubical with a massive grin on her face. Behind her was Mukuro who quickly bowed to the couple.
"Geez about time that you two found this place!" Junko giggled as she and Mukuro walked into the secret room.
"You knew about this room along didn't you?" Kyoko said annoyed while narrowing her eyes on Junko as she moved alongside Makoto.
"Of course I did," Junko giggled. "I had this to help me."
Junko pulled out a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed to Kyoko.
Kyoko opened up the paper to reveal a map of the second floor. Makoto's eyes went on the map as well, and the couple saw the secret room on the map.
"Where did you find this map?" Kyoko asked.
"I ain't giving all my secrets away just yet Kyoko," Junko grinned. "I mean geez we have just met."
"You had Ikusaba break into a room contain secret files didn't you?" Makoto asked.
"Aww geez you found me out," Junko said somewhat annoyed. "Anyway, you two take a seat we need to talk about the plan that I forgot to tell you both last week."
The couple looked at each other, and then both went over to the seats with Mukuro closing the door behind her giving the four total privacy.
"Right, the plan is early development. I will need the student council to slaughter each other. In order for the plan to work."
"Why is it so crucial for them to kill each other?" Makoto asked.
"Simple Makoto," Junko smirked. "I planned to record their wonderful deaths and put those recording into a despair brainwashing video."
"Brainwashing!?" Kyoko said stunned.
"Yip," Junko giggled.
"You are crazy Enoshima!" Makoto said horrified.
"Oh please save it," Junko rolled her eyes. "You're the one along with your girlfriend who has killed people, and you're calling me crazy you have some nerve!"
Makoto and Kyoko didn't reply. Junko got the pair good.
"Now," Junko said calmly. "If you two would like to listen to my plan and not call me crazy that would be lovely."
Again the couple didn't reply they both stared at Junko waiting for her to talk.
"Good! Now once the despair video has been made. I plan to use the video on Class 77b, and they will be my little despair slaves," Junko giggled. "However, two will be spared from the brainwashing."
"Why so?" Kyoko asked.
"Because one of them is teaching me how to make such a video. But he has no idea what I'm planning and plus, he is a nervous wreck," Junko giggled. "While the other person carries to much hope and I want to crush it."
"I'm guessing this boy will be killed once the video has been made?" Kyoko asked.
"Nope!" Junko replied grinning. "I plan to let him live. Once he finds out that the video he helped made cause the end of the world. The guilt will be too much for him, and he will not talk about it."
"It sounds like a risk," Makoto said.
"Everything will be fine relax will ya!" Junko replied waving her hand at him.
"So I'm guessing Class 77b will be loyal to us as well?" Kyoko asked.
"Yup, but once the despair video is made. I will get someone else to tweak the video so the class will be loyal to you," Junko replied.
"Who?" Makoto asked.
"Izuru Kamukura the Ultimate Ultimate."
"Never heard of him before what type of talent is that?" Makoto asked.
"Kamukura has every talent in the world," Junko grinned.
"What? No way!" Makoto said in disbelief. Then he narrowed his eyes on the model. "I find that hard to believe. What type of person is he?"
"Silent and dull," Junko groaned. "He is always bored. Anyway, Kamukura has agreed to help me with the plan, and I've told him about you two, and he seems somewhat interested."
"With us?" Kyoko said raising her eyebrow
"Yip," Junko nodded. "He and I both share the same interest in you both."
Makoto and Kyoko looked at each in other confusion. The couple wasn't sure what made them interesting in the eyes of Junko and Izuru.
"Look at the confused look on both of your faces," Junko giggled. "You both don't reek of that awful hope or that wonderful despair. To us that makes you both interesting. People have hope, while other people feel despair. But you two? Your hope died long ago because of your past, and the only thing that is stopping you both from falling into despair is your relationship."
Junko wasn't wrong with her statement. Makoto remembered that he was felt despair after he killed Komaru and the person who snapped him out of it was Kyoko.
As for Kyoko, the only thing that kept her from falling into despair from the physical abuse she received from her grandfather was Makoto.
"Kyoko…. Enshoma is right!" Makoto said stunned.
Kyoko didn't reply as the realisation of Junko's words struck her.
Junko folded her arms and tilted her head. "It would be easy for Kamukura and me to predict what you two would do if you both stood for hope or despair. Hope you two would stop my plans. Despair you two continue to let despair live and cover the world. But Kamukura and I can't predict what you two will do because you don't have any hope or despair."
"So we are pretty much test data for you two?" Makoto said annoyed.
"I don't see you both as test data. I see you two as business partners who can produce results that will keep me from being bored for the time being," Junko replied. "Speaking of results. You two got your own plan thought out yet?
"No we haven't," Kyoko replied. "We both have second thoughts about saying yes to you. Because you never told us the plan last week. But now I suppose we better start thinking."
"Sounds good to me," Makoto replied.
Junko began to giggle, and she looked at Mukuro. "Muku please leave this room right now and wait for me outside."
Mukuro quickly left the room.
"Since we are done here," Junko grinned. "I want my kiss!"
"What! Another one?" Makoto said in disbelief.
"Yes, of course, sweetheart….hmm sweetheart I like that. From now on you shall be called Sweetheart."
"It's Naegi to you, and I'm not kissing you in front of my girlfriend! What are you nuts?"
Kyoko looked on amused. She knew if she tried to interfere she would be kissed by Junko, which she didn't want.
"Sweetheart," Junko said seductively. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way. You pick."
"Dare I ask what the hard way is?" Makoto replied.
Junko grinned, and she jumped onto his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. She leaned forward, and their noses touched.
Kyoko jealously levels were surprisingly absent, and she was slightly turned on by the sight.
"Just imagine if that Maizono girl was here in this very same position," Junko giggled.
Kyoko's eyes narrowed quickly, and her jealousy levels ramped up to max at the thought of Sayaka being in the same position as Junko.
While Makoto wrapped his arms around Junko and he launched himself off the chair and went on his knees. Junko wrapped her legs around Makoto's body as the latter unwrapped his arms off Junko and put her on the ground as she clung on to him.
"Let go of me now!" Makoto demanded.
"Kiss me, and then I will let go… Maybe this will help. Imagine that I'm Maizono," Junko giggled.
"Say her name again, and you will be sorry!" Makoto said darkly.
"Makoto just kiss her!" Kyoko ordered. "Enoshima won't stop until she gets want she wants."
"But Kyoko…" Makoto replied shocked.
"Makoto just do it!" Kyoko said annoyed.
"You heard the lady," Junko giggled. "Please pull us up and sit on your bottom and cross your legs."
Makoto sighed as he did what Junko requested.
Once they were in position Junko's bottom was in the space that Makoto's crossed leg created. Her legs were still wrapped around his body while her arms were still wrapped around his neck.
Junko leaned forward, and their lips met, and unlike the kiss, the pair had last week. This kiss was more passionate and much longer than their previous kiss.
Kyoko watched on and couldn't take her eyes off the sight. She wished Makoto was kissing her like that right now.
Junko pulled away, and she smiled. "Now see was that so hard?"
"Shut up!" Makoto said in anger.
"Oh so grumpy!" Junko replied. "Sweetheart I could tell you enjoyed that kiss as much as I did."
Makoto didn't reply, and he closed his eyes.
"Can't even admit it shocking!" Junko giggled. "Also, the reason that kiss was way longer was to make up for missing your birthday."
"But that was last month?" Makoto replied opening his eyes in confusion.
"I know, but consider it an extra late birthday kiss!"
Junko unwrapped her arms and legs from Makoto and stood up. Then she laid her eyes on Kyoko.
Kyoko's eyes widened and realised that she was going to get kissed again.
Junko sat on Kyoko's lap facing the detective as she wrapped her arms around the back of Kyoko neck.
Junko leaned in, and their lips met, and the two started to kiss passionately. Makoto couldn't get his eyes away from the scene. He had to admit his girlfriend kissing another girl passionately was hot.
Junko pulled back, and she smiled. "How was that babe?…. I bet you enjoyed it"
"Please don't call me that and no comment!" Kyoko said as she narrowed her eyes on the model.
"Babe it is then, and you did enjoy our kiss admit it," Junko grinned. "Ah Babe and Sweetheart, two lovely pet names. Just for the record, this will be a recurring thing. I demand a kiss from both of you every time we met up."
Junko unwrapped her arms from Kyoko's neck and stood up. The couple were left stunned at the fact they had to kiss Junko every time now.
"One more thing, I've seen the way Maizono has been around Sweetheart. I can take care of her Babe if you want?" Junko said.
Kyoko felt her body stiffen as she was called Babe. She wasn't going to like being called that one bit.
"No, leave her be," Kyoko replied. "I will deal with her if walks past that line."
"You sure Babe?"
"Positive!" Kyoko replied coldly.
"Fair enough, anyway I'm heading," Junko smile. "I'm off to Towa City for a few days. But when I come back, I will take you both to see Kamukura. Goodbye Sweetheart, Babe."
Junko left the secret room leaving the couple with plenty to think about.
A few hours later
Naegi household.
Makoto and Kyoko were lying on top of their bed. Both of them were trying to process what had happened.
"Kyoko," Makoto said softly. "I enjoyed the kiss with Enoshima."
"I was the same when I kissed her," Kyoko replied. "What is she doing to us?"
"Turning us into kissing sluts?" Makoto joked. Which made Kyoko smirk.
"So Class 77b, the year above us," Makoto sighed. "Poor fools don't know what's going to hit them."
"Destroying the old world and help us creating anew," Kyoko said softly.
"But they will be still under the effects of the despair video," Makoto replied. "We need to cure them before they can help us."
"You raise a good point," Kyoko sighed. "How do we cure them of the despair video, while still contain their loyalty to us."
"Well… I guess could make a brainwashing video ourselves," Makoto sighed.
"Makoto, I don't know how to make a video like that," Kyoko replied. "Also, are you comfortable with the idea?"
"If it means bringing peace to the world then yes!" Makoto said firmly. "Our rule may be false, but no more killings, no more blood being spilt. A peaceful utopia is something I want."
"That is something I want as well," Kyoko said as she sat up and looked at her ruined hands. "I don't want someone to go through what I went through. All criminals will be killed when Enoshima's despair has set in. However, if not I will leave a personal order for Class 77b to kill them all."
Makoto sat up, and he held Kyoko's hands and kissed them gently.
"We will become Emperor and Empress of the new world," he grinned.
"I like the sound of that," Kyoko giggled.
"Kyoko Kirigiri, will you be my Empress when the time comes?"
"It would be an honour, my Emperor," Kyoko said smiling warmly.
"Thank you, my Empress," Makoto said softly as the two kissed.
"I will make sure that Class 77b collects us money, so we are wealthy," Kyoko grinned.
"But money will be worthless if the world is in ruin?" Makoto said confused.
"Correct! But when it's our turn to step in and restore the world money will become usable again. Leaving us in a strong financial position and we can always make people pay a special tax which will give us money."
"Clever," Makoto replied.
"Thank you," Kyoko smiled. "The only problem is who is going to help us make that video."
"We can ask Izuru Kamukuma once we meet him. Since he appears to have all the talents in the world," Makoto said sarcastically.
"Enoshima hasn't lied to us yet. So I doubt she is lying about Kamukuma having every single talent," Kyoko replied.
"You made a good point Kyoko, but still I find it hard to believe that's all," Makoto said softly.
"Well… He doesn't have every talent," Kyoko said as a small smirk appeared on her face. "Kamukuma doesn't have the talent to make me feel happy and safe."
Kyoko leaned forward towards Makoto and pushed him down until his back landed on the mattress. She leaned over him
"I love you Makoto, and together we will not be stopped!" She said firmly and then kissed him. "This world will die, and we will create our utopia."
Makoto began to grin "Yes a much fairer and better world. Kyoko let's not just use our video just on Class 77b. Let's show it to the world, and we will have total control."
"Excellent idea Makoto," Kyoko chuckled. "No one will stop us once everything falls into place. All we need to do is wait and see if Kamukuma can help us."
"That's a big if," Makoto replied. "More importantly, we will need to get Enoshima to stop calling us those stupid names she has picked for us."
"Something tells me that she won't stop," Kyoko said annoyed. "Let's forget about her ok?"
"Ok," Makoto replied softly.
"Good," Kyoko smiled. "Now, let's watch a film then call it a night."
A week later
It was lunchtime at Hope's Peak, Makoto was in the cafeteria having lunch by himself while Kyoko was in the library looking over some books, with Mukuro keeping an eye on her Mistress as her Master's orders.
The couple were getting annoyed by Junko's no show. She was held up in Towa City, and Mukuro didn't have an answer as to when Junko would get back.
Makoto was eating his lunch in peace, but the sight of Leon and Sayaka appeared before him and sat next to him.
"Hey, Makoto," Sayaka smiled.
"Hello," Makoto said.
"Hey Naegi," Leon said. "Where is Kirigiri?"
"She is doing her own thing right now," Makoto replied. He wished the pair would vanish and leave him be.
A small grin appeared on Sayaka's face, and she knew this was going to be another chance to convince Makoto that she was the one for him.
I have a question for you two?" Makoto smiled.
"I'm happy to answer to it Makoto," Sayaka smiled back.
"Are you two dating by any chance?" Makoto asked.
Sayaka and Leon were both stunned by the question.
"The reason I asked was," Makoto grinned. "Well, you two would be perfect for each other. I mean Kuwata you're still trying to get Hina to go out with you. Just like how Sayaka is trying with me."
Before the pair got a chance to reply they along with Makoto saw Junko sit down beside them and she minded her own business and had her lunch.
"Excuse me! Do you mind? We are trying to talk to our friend here," Sayaka said angerly.
Junko raised her head and smiled at the idol. "Oh sorry, Maizono, never saw you there."
Sayaka blinked a few times and realised who she was talking to.
"Wait are you Junko Enoshima?" Sayaka said in disbelief.
"That I am," Junko giggled. "Don't mind me; please continue talking to your friend there."
'Enomshima what are you playing at?' Makoto thought.
Junko went back to eating her food as Sayaka's eyes focused back on Makoto.
"To answer your question Makoto. Kuwata and I are not dating," Sayaka said.
"Yeah, we are good friends nothing more," Leon added.
"That is a real shame," Makoto said as he narrowed his eyes on the pair. "Here I was hoping you two were dating so Hina and I could be left alone."
"Makoto when will you understand!" Sayaka replied firmly.
"I should be saying the same thing to you!" Makoto said annoyed. "I have Kyoko!"
"Hey guys sorry to interrupt the convo," Junko said. "Maizono, from what I've able to gather from this execting convo is that you have a crush on your friend correct?"
"Yes, I do," Sayaka nodded.
"Thought so, and your friend is dating that girl who always wears gloves. The reason I know this is because I've always seen them together holding hands," Junko said.
"And what is your point?" Sayaka said getting annoyed.
"It wouldn't look good for your career. If your manager or fans found out that you're trying to hit on a guy who is already in a relationship," Junko grinned.
'Wow, Enoshima well played,' Makoto thought.
"I can see the reactions right now," Junko giggled. "You lose all of your fans in a blink of an eye. Because you're a creepy stalker, who is trying to destroy a relationship so you can have the guy all to yourself."
'Enoshima, I'm starting to like you now," Makoto thought to himself.
"Umm…. I need to be somewhere," Sayaka said quickly, and she left the cafeteria with Leon chasing after her looking like a fool in the process.
Junko chuckled to herself, and she went back to her food. While Makoto went back to his.
"Enomshina, thank you," he said as he kept his eyes on this lunch. "I mean it."
Junko froze in shock. She never expected Makoto to thank her. She sat down next to him in order to drive Sayaka away. But hearing him thanking her it felt nice.
"Umm… No problem Sweetheart," Junko replied stunned.
Makoto cringed when he heard Sweetheart. But he was also surprised by how shocked Junko was.
"You seem surprised that I've said thank you," Makoto replied.
"Of course Sweetheart, I wasn't expecting a thank you. All I did was get Maizono and that other guy away from you."
"True, but the way you got Maizono away. It was brilliant if you keep doing that. I may end up liking you enough to consider you as a friend."
Junko froze again. She didn't have many friends growing up, and the idea of making new friends wasn't on her mind. It was all about despair. But the thought of having Makoto as a friend. It did make her cold despair heart feel warm.
"A friend…." Junko whispered.
Makoto turned his head slightly just enough to see Junko sitting like a rock and not moving.
Then suddenly Junko stood up and walked out of the cafeteria leaving her food behind.
"What the hell was that about," Makoto muttered. Then he went back to his food.
Junko stormed back to her dorm room, and she slammed the door behind her.
"What is wrong with me?!"" Junko said in anger. "The only thing I need in my life is despair. I DON'T NEED FRIENDSHIP!" She walked over to her bed and fell onto her knees and slammed her fists onto the bed multiple times in anger.
"I don't need friends; they make you weak and fill you with hope!" She said as she continued to slam her fists onto the bed. But she began to stop and calmed herself down.
"But Sweetheart… Oh, how could I forget his hope died when he killed his sister. So being friends with him wouldn't be so bad. Would Babe want to become friends with me?... Why the hell am I thinking about becoming friends with the pair? I need despair!… And not friendship!"
Junko placed her hand on her chest and felt her heart beat quickly.
"But could I have both? Friendship and despair?" Junko whispered as she closed her eyes to think long and hard.
Library
Kyoko was going over a few books which covered famous rulers and dictators. In order to get a good idea of how to rule peacefully and not what to do.
Mukuro was reading a book as well. She was sitting at another table, but she always kept her eye on her Mistress.
As Kyoko was reading, her phone started to vibrate. She stopped reading and picked up her phone. It was a text of Makoto.
'Enoshima is back, and she helped me get Maizono away from me. But I must have said something to her that she didn't like as she stormed off. Get Ikusaba to find out what's wrong with her.'
'Will do!' Kyoko text back.
She put her phone in her pocket, and she stood up and put the book back on the shelf. Then she looked at Mukuro and gave her a quick nod. Then she left the library and stood outside the girl's toilets.
A few minutes later Mukuro walked out of the library and saw Kyoko nodding her towards the toilet then headed inside. Mukuro looked around to ensure no one was around. Then she headed into the toilets as well.
Mukuro was Kyoko leaning against the sink as she stared at the Ultimate Solider.
"Ikusaba, your sister is back in the school," Kyoko said. "However, Makoto has said something and your sister has stormed away. But Makoto doesn't know what he said to upset your sister."
"I see," Mukuro replied weakly. "I wasn't aware that Junko was back. My apologies Mistress."
"Didn't I order you not to call me that?" Kyoko said firmly.
"Sorry Kirigiri, Junko's orders come first," Mukuro replied weakly.
Kyoko rolled her eyes, and she turned around to look at the mirror.
"Why do I get the feeling that I'm going to keep ordering you not to call me mistress until you finally stop."
Mukuro didn't reply.
"Ikusaba find out what's wrong with your sister!" Kyoko ordered.
"Will do," Mukuro replied as she turned around to leave the room.
"Ikusaba wait!" Kyoko ordered. Mukuro stopped in her tracks and turned around. "Do you have a phone on you?"
"Yes, I do," Mukuro replied.
"Let's trade numbers, so we can keep in contact with each other," Kyoko replied. "Give my number to your sister and tell her to use fake names."
Mukuro nodded, and the pair traded numbers. Then left the toilets to find her sister.
Kyoko waited a few minutes and left the toilets as well and headed down to the cafeteria to find Makoto just finishing his lunch.
She sat down beside him, and the pair smiled at each other.
"Makoto, I've told Ikusaba to look for her sister. I've also given her my number."
Makoto's eyes widened in shock. "Wait! Why?"
"So we can keep in contact with the pair. Don't worry I've told Ikusaba to use fakes numbers."
Kyoko felt her phone vibrate and she took it out of her phone and noticed it was a random number.
"It must be Enoshima," Kyoko said.
She opened the text, and the pair began to read it.
'Babe, tell Sweetheart I'm sorry for storming out of the cafeteria. Anyway, tonight at nine meet me and Muku at the statue of the founder of this school on the school grounds, and we will take you two to see Kamukura. Make sure to be hooded X.'
"Finally!" Makoto sighed.
"Indeed, so you mind telling me what happened with Manizono?"
"I will tell you later we have to get back to class," Makoto replied.
Kyoko nodded, and the pair went back to class, and they found Sayaka not even attempting to look at the couple. She focused on her phone and Kyoko began to wonder what happened during lunch.
Hours later
Naegi household
The couple were at the front door as put their shoes on as they were getting ready to leave. Makoto grabbed the spare house key.
The couple were wearing jeans and black jackets.
"May I ask where you two are going?" Mrs Naegi asked as she appeared from the living room. "It's half 8 at night."
"One of our classmates is having a small party, and we got a text asking us to come," Makoto lied.
"At this time? It's pretty late," his mother replied.
"It wasn't the first text we got mum," Makoto said. "You know me and Kyoko. We rather live a private and quiet life. But our classmate told us to come over and enjoy ourselves."
"Very well. Remember you two no alcohol!" Mrs Naegi said firmly. "You're 18 while Kyoko is 17!"
"Yes mother," Makoto said sarcastically.
Mrs Naegi rolled her eyes, and she headed back into the living room.
The couple left the house and walked to school.
"Makoto, I think you should cut your mother some slack," Kyoko said softly.
"I know," Makoto sighed. "But I hate how my mum can be very overprotective of us sometimes."
"I know, but remember what your father said to us."
Makoto stopped and sighed. "Kyoko will we ever become like them if we have children of our own?"
"For me yes," Kyoko replied. "Makoto listen to me. I do not want our children to become like us."
"What do you mean?" Makoto asked.
"Makoto… We have killed people. We have also agreed to see the world get destroyed. Then we have our own plan to consider. Any children we do have, I want them to grow up peaceful unlike we were able to do, and also not do the stuff that we have done or are going to do."
"I understand now," Makoto replied softly. "Kyoko let's promise each other, any children we do have. We will raise them the right way and avoid them becoming like us."
"It's a promise," Kyoko smiled as she put her hood up to cover her face.
Makoto put his hood up, then he took Kyoko's hand, and the pair continued to walk.
The couple soon arrived at the school, and they headed for the statue where they found two hooded figures.
"Babe? Sweetheart?" Junko said.
"It's us," Kyoko replied.
"Oh good, let's get inside its frecking freezing," Junko groaned. She walked over to the staute and pressed a button. Then the ground opened up to reveal a secret passage.
"No way!" Makoto said in disbelief. "That is cool!"
Junko began to laugh. "Wait until you meet Kamukura." She said as she walked down the stairs.
"After you, Master, Mistress," Mukuro said weakly.
The couple walked down the stairs with Mukuro following them. The trio followed Junko down the corridor and went into a room where Makoto and Kyoko saw a person leaning against a wall with very long black hair and red eyes staring at them.
"Sweetheart, Babe this is Izuru Kamukura," Junko said as she took her hook of and Mukuro did the same.
Makoto and Kyoko took their hoods off and had a good look at Izuru.
"He doesn't look all that impressive," Makoto said. "Come on Enoshima enough fooling around. Where is the real Kamukura?"
"I am him Makoto Naegi," Izuru said emotionless. Which sent a cold chill down Makoto's spine.
"Kamukura we need your help," Kyoko said.
"With what?" Izuru replied.
"Makoto and I have decided what we wanted to do once we take over after Enoshima has her fun. Only you can help us."
"What is your plan?" Izuru asked.
"We want to brainwash the world and bring in a utopia of peace. No more killings, no more blood being spilled. We need your help to make the video, "Kyoko replied.
Izuru looked at Kyoko firmly but didn't reply.
"Sounds pretty boring if you ask me," Junko said.
"It's what we want!" Kyoko said firmly. "We also have special orders we would like to give Class 77b when you launch your despair."
"Ohh? And what would those be?" Junko asked raising her eyebrow.
"There are only two so far, but the first one would be to kill all criminals who manage to survive the outbreak. Makoto and I want none alive they have no place in our new world."
"Good one," Junko giggled. "You have surprised me there. What would be the other order?"
Kyoko began to smirk. "For Class 77b to steal money…lots of it."
"What would be the point of that?" Junko said confused. "Money will be useless."
"It won't be," Izuru replied.
"Care to explain it Mr Know It All?" Junko said.
"You figure it out," Izuru said emotionless.
Junk crossed her arms to think and figured out the answer herself. "I see, that is very clever. Once you two rebuild the world, you two will be filthy rich."
"Yes we will," Makoto chuckled. "But in order for our plan to work. We will need Kamukura help. Since he has every talent. He can help us made our brainwashing video."
"I will make the video," Izuru said shocking Junko.
"Wait hang on!" She said annoyed. "It took a while to convince you to join my plan, while you say yes to them in a matter of minutes."
"I find the couple more interesting," Izuru replied. "You have one thought process Enoshima, and that is despair. Which I find boring."
"So why did you say yes to me then?"
"I want to see how the world will cope when the despair sets in. Nothing more."
Junko folded her arms still annoyed.
"Kamukura, thank you," Makoto said.
"Save your thanks Naegi," Izuru replied. "You and Kirigiri are walking down a path where both of you will not be redeemed."
"We are aware," Makoto replied. "You are on the same boat Kamukura."
"I won't be the one using the video," Izuru replied firmly as he glared at the couple. Which sent a chill down their spine.
"Sweetheart, Babe," Junko said.
"What is it?" Kyoko replied.
A smile appeared on Junko face. "Oh look you responded to me when I called you Babe!"
Kyoko closed her eyes and let out an annoyed sigh. "Get on with Enoshima!"
"Fine, fine geez," Junko groaned. "What are you going to do about your father, Babe? Also what about your parent's Sweetheart?"
"What do you mean?" Kyoko asked. While Makoto's face went white.
"It looks like Sweetheart has caught on to what I'm asking."
Kyoko looked at Makoto, and she was shocked to see him looking pale.
"Makoto what's wrong?"
"Kyoko….. Our parents," he replied weakly. "We have forgotten all about them….while making this plan… I…. I need time to think…."
Makoto rushed out of the room in a panic. Kyoko turned around and began to chase after him. But she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Kirigiri, stay here!" Izuru said firmly. "Ikusaba go and calm Naegi down."
"Who do you think you are?" Kyoko said in anger as she spun around to face the Ulitmate Ultimate. "I know what pain he carries!"
"That is exactly why you shouldn't go," Izuru said coldly. "It won't help him mentally if he only relies on you all the time. He needs another!"
Kyoko knew that Izuru had a point and she took a breath to calm herself down.
"Ikusaba please get him," Kyoko ordered.
Mukuro looked at her sister and Junko give Mukuro a small nod. Mukuro left the room to find her master.
"Kirigiri trust me! He will need this!" Izuru said as he went back to the wall to lean against.
Kyoko stared at Izuru for a few moments and then turned her head to Junko.
"I heard what you said Maizono during lunch today," she smirked. "Enoshima, thank you for putting that idol in her place… May I ask what Makoto said to you which caused you to storm off?"
"No problem, I saw Maizono and that guy annoying Sweetheart. So I thought I would move them along that's all… As for what Sweetheart said to me. Forget about it. He never said anything bad."
Kyoko narrowed her eyes on the model. "Then why did you storm off?"
"Drop it alright!" Junko said in anger. "Geez, I said it was nothing, and yet you keep asking."
"Fine then," Kyoko said turning around to face away from Junko. "Have it your way."
"Oh come on Babe, don't be like that I didn't mean to snap at you."
"Don't talk to me Enoshima if you're not going to tell me the truth," Kyoko replied coldly.
Junko felt her heart getting crushed, and she began to wonder why she wasn't getting despair from this. But fear and sadness instead.
She placed her hand on her chest and felt her heart beating quickly as it did earlier today. A few tears ran down her face
Izuru watched on and didn't say anything. He had never seen this side to Junko before, and he wondered if Junko being near the couple had a positive effect on her.
"Babe," Junko said weakly. "I'm sorry…..can I….be with friends with you and Sweetheart?"
Kyoko froze for a few seconds and couldn't believe what Junko had just asked her. She turned around and saw tears running down Junko's face and was left speechless.
Mukuro was in the hallway looking for her master. She had no idea what to do when she found him.
As she was down the hallway, she saw Makoto leaning against a wall with his hands covering his face.
"Master," Mukuro said.
"Leave me alone!" Makoto ordered.
"I can't do that…. Mistress told me to get you."
"Argh! ENOUGH with the master and mistress talk will you, Kyoko order you not to do that!" He replied as he took his hands away from his face to look at her.
"I'm sorry Naegi…. Junko's orders come first," Mukuro replied weakly.
"And if she told you to kill yourself would you do it?" Makoto said in anger.
Mukuro didn't reply turned away from Makoto.
"So, I would take that as a yes then?"
Again Mukuro didn't reply.
"You're the Ultimate Soldier, and yet you let your sister control!"
Mukuro turned around to look at Makoto. "I love Junko! She is the only family I have!" Her eyes narrowed on Makoto.
Makoto felt it was best not to talk about Junko in case he annoyed Mukuro.
"Ikusaba just leave me alone. Tell Kyoko that you found me and I need time to think."
"Sorry, Naegi, I won't be seeing Mistress until you have returned with me…. You can hit me if you want or even call me names if that will make you feel better."
Makoto looked at Mukuro with shock written over his face.
"That's what Junko does to me whenever she is in a bad mood," Mukuro said weakly.
"Ikusaba…. I would never hit you nor call you names," Makoto said still shocked. "I don't know what to do."
"About what?" Mukuro asked.
"My parents," he sighed. "Kyoko and I have made our plans, and yet I have forgotten about my parents. I… I've ruined everything…. I killed my sister and destroyed the family that we had."
Makoto started to cry leaving Mukuro clueless how to deal with the problem.
"Now, I don't know what to do about my parents… Sometimes I can't look at them in the eye because of what I did in the past. You have no idea how many times Kyoko has heard this from me. I bet you she is getting sick from listening to me."
Mukuro eyes widened and realised that Izuru was right. Makoto needed someone else to talk to.
"Why do you think Mistress would get sick of listening to you?" Mukuro asked. "She has been your rock."
"I know that she has been the only person that I've spoken to about everything. There is only so much one person can listen to the same old rubbish before they get sick of hearing it," he sobbed.
"Right, why don't you find someone else to talk to?"
Makoto looked at Mukuro, and he couldn't tell if Mukuro was being serious or not.
"You, Mistress and I share something in common…. We all have killed people," Mukuro said emotionless.
"You….have….kill people?" Makoto said shocked.
"I am the Ultimate soldier after all." Mukuro took off her right glove and showed Makoto a tattoo. "This is a tattoo of Fenrir, they are an elite mercenary group, and I passed every test they threw at me, and I fought in many battles and never got wounded once."
"But your only 17…." Makoto said in disbelief.
"Yes I know," Mukuro sighed. "But I always interested in warfare and when I had a chance to join Fenrir, I took it."
Makoto was shocked that Mukuro was opening up to him. There was more to Mukuro than being Junko's lap dog.
"I left Junko behind and did awful stuff. But I didn't care, it was war," Mukuro said emotionless. "By the time I came back Junko was deep in despair."
"Why are you telling me all this?" Makoto asked.
"Because it was to help you open up. If I spoke about my past, then you would do the same and not bottle things up and only tell the one person."
"Why do you care?" Makoto said coldly.
"Because, you are my Master and it's my job to see that you are well," Mukuro firmly. "Plus, Mistress was ready to chase after you until Kamukura stopped her and told me to go."
"What!?" Makoto replied confused.
"Kamukura said that I should go and find you because he said that you needed another person to talk to. Because relying on Mistress is bad."
"But no knows what Kyoko and I went through," Makoto said quietly.
Mukuro knew she was close to getting Makoto to open up, but she needed to do something to make him feel comfortable. Then she remembered something that she used to do with Junko when the latter was crying in their childhood.
Mukuro moved up to Makoto and pulled him from the wall and hugged him.
"Ikusaba…what are you doing?" He said in shock. He tried to break free, but she was too strong for him.
"I used to do this to Junko back when we were younger. I would hug her until she told what was wrong with her," Mukuro said softly. "How do you feel?"
"I feel better," he said weakly.
"Good, now talk to me," Mukuro replied.
"No!" Makoto said firmly. "Let's head back, and I will tell you and your sister."
Mukuro lets him go and nodded at him.
"Ikusaba thank you," Makoto said softly.
Mukuro froze for a few seconds. She didn't expect Makoto to thank her. But it felt nice, and she didn't know how long it has been since someone thanked her.
"It's no problem," she blushed. "I was doing my job."
"No, you share your past with me, and I respect you a lot more," Makoto replied.
Mukuro felt happy and enjoyed the feeling.
"Come on let's go," he said.
The pair walked back to the room, and Kyoko noticed his eyes were all red. While Mukuro saw Junko's eyes all red and she quickly pulled out her knife.
"What did you do Kirigiri!" Mukuro said firmly.
"Muku put the knife down," Junko said weakly. "Babe never did anything to me."
Mukuro put her knife away and looked embarrassed.
"Sorry, Mistress," Mukuro said weakly.
Kyoko ignored her and turned her attention to Makoto.
"You've been crying what's wrong?" She asked concerned.
"Kyoko we forgot about our parents when we made the plan… I don't know what to do with my parents. I freaked out when Enoshima mentioned them, and that's why I left."
Kyoko pulled Makoto in for a hug and held him tightly.
"Makoto," she whispered. "Remember I'm always by your side no matter what. I don't care how many times you talk to me about your parents or Komaru. Because I love you and I will always support you no matter how down you are."
"Kyoko," he whispered as he began to cry into her shoulder.
Junko felt sadness when she saw Makoto cry and without even thinking she walked over to the couple and wrapped her arms around the couple.
"Let it all out Sweetheart," Junko said.
"What are you doing?" Makoto sobbed.
"I want to help you," Junko replied.
Makoto was confused, and he stopped crying. Junko moved away from the couple.
"Makoto," Kyoko said as she wiped his tears away. "Enoshima wants to ask us a question."
Izuru looked on, and he knew this could change Junko forever.
"What type of question?" Makoto asked.
"Oh geez Babe you've put me on the spot here," Junko said nervously.
"Well, you've already asked once… I'm sure you can ask both of us together," Kyoko replied.
Mukuro looked confused and no idea what was happening. The same went with Makoto.
"Sweetheart….Babe…. Can I be your friend?" Junko asked as her heart went crazy. She couldn't believe she was asking to become friends with the couple.
"What!?" Makoto replied in disbelief.
"I…want to be…friends with you and Babe," Junko said quietly.
"But why?" Makoto asked shocked.
"Because…my heart is telling it would be nice have you two as friends," Junko replied weakly.
Mukuro looked on in shock. She couldn't believe her sister was acting like this.
"But friendships give people hope?" Kyoko said firmly.
"What hope would I get from this friendship if the two people that I've asked to become friends with me lack hope."
Kyoko didn't reply nor Makoto as both didn't have an answer.
"Oh man, if Sweetheart didn't use the word friend none of this would happen," Junko sighed. "But you just had to use that word, and my emotions have been doing me in ever since. But the thought of us becoming friends…. It felt nice to think about….I tried to remind myself that I need despair and not friendship…. But what if I could have both…."
Makoto, Kyoko and Mukuro were all left stunned.
"So what is your answer gonna be you two?" Junko asked nervously.
Makoto and Kyoko both looked at each other then turned around to face away from Junko.
"You think it's a trap?" Makoto whispered.
"No, it's not. Enoshima is very serious," Kyoko whispered.
"Is it worth our time saying yes to her?" Makoto asked.
"I'm not sure. Maybe we can get something out of this."
"Like what?"
"We could get her to stop kissing us…. No, forget that… We can get her to stop calling us by those nicknames."
Makoto began to chuckle. "Someone enjoys kissing a girl."
"You enjoy kissing that girl as well," Kyoko giggled.
"You got me there…. I don't think Enoshima will drop the pet names for us."
"I guess your right," Kyoko sighed. "How about we get her to tell us everything about her plan?"
"Agreed. Let's hope this doesn't backfire on us," Makoto replied.
The couple turned around, and they saw the nervous look on the Junko's face.
"We have made our choice," Kyoko said. "We would like to become friends with you only on one condition."
"Name it," Junko replied quickly.
"I want you to share every single of your plan to us, no more secrets got it," Makoto replied firmly.
"Deal," Junko replied. "Wow…. I can't believe it. I've made friends. I feel….happy."
Without thinking, Junko hugged the pair.
"Thank you," she whispered.
Which shocked the pair further. Junko released the couple and took a few steps back.
"Right, I better start explaining then," Junko smiled.
"Not tonight," Kyoko said firmly. "Makoto and I better get home. Before we get a telling."
"Not yet Kyoko there is something I want to share," Makoto said quietly as he started to shake.
"Makoto what is wrong?" Kyoko asked concerned.
"I… I want to speak about that night," he replied.
Kyoko eyes widened and didn't know how to respond.
"Do you want me to leave?" Izuru asked.
"Do as you please," Makoto weakly.
Izuru didn't move nor replied.
"Enoshima…. Ikusaba… you both know bits about my past…. I… I did indeed kill sister…b-but…. I didn't mean it," he said as he cried again.
Kyoko didn't move as she remembers Izuru words and about Makoto needing another person to talk to about his past.
"We were walking home from the park one night six years ago," Makoto said weakly. "Then a man in a mask….." He stopped talking, and he looked at his hands.
"Sweetheart, take as long as you need," Junko said. "I want to help you."
"Same here Master!" Mukuro said.
Hearing both sister's positive responds, it gave Makoto the strength to continue.
"The man grabbed Komaru and pulled out a knife and told me to follow him into the alley," Makoto said weakly. "He told me to empty my pockets, but I told him I had nothing. Then Komaru managed to bite the guy's hand. He dropped the knife when I quickly got, and I aimed it for his leg but he pulled Komaru in front of the leg I was going for and…I stabbed….Komaru…."
Junko felt her heart getting crushed, while Mukuro closed her eyes and felt sorry for Makoto.
"I screamed in horror at what I did," Makoto said weakly. "Kyoko heard me, and she came to investigate. The masked man pulled the knife out of Komaru and ran away just before Kyoko arrived. She did everything could to save Komaru, but Kyoko knew it was pointless… Komaru told me in her dying breath that she loved me and I shouldn't blame myself and then she died."
Kyoko grabbed Makoto's hand and held it tightly. While Junko felt tears running down her cheeks which shocked her. Normally she would be getting despair from this sort of thing… But she felt really bad for Makoto and crushed her.
"When Kyoko phoned the cops, and when my parents found out they rushed to the scene. But I ran away. I couldn't look at them because of what I did. I was in so much despair… I lost all hope, but someone saved me."
Makoto looked at Kyoko, and he smiled at her weakly.
"This woman standing here in front of me, chased after me when I ran to the park, and we spoke. She pulled me out of despair, and she has been my rock ever since. She has had her own troubles as well. But that's what made our bond stronger. I love Kyoko, and I will not let anything bad happen to her!"
Kyoko pulled Makoto in for a hug. "I love you too Makoto," she whispered.
'I never knew you were holding back so much Sweetheart. I promise you that I will be there for you,' Junko thought to herself and then she looked at Kyoko's gloves. 'Will you ever tell us the full truth behind your hands, Babe?'
Mukuro walked up to sister. "Junko, I need you to hug master and keep me out of his line of sight," she whispered.
"Who do you think you are Muku telling me what do to!" Junko whispered back in anger.
"There is something I need to tell Mistress, and it's critical that I tell her," Mukuro said weakly. "Master said a few things when we were alone, and I must tell Mistress!"
Junko was shocked. She never had Mukuro talk back to her like this before. Maybe Mukuro secretly likes the pair as she did.
"Fine then," Junko sighed.
Mukuro walked forward and stood where she would be out of sight for Makoto.
"Hey Sweetheart come here," Junko said warmly.
The couple broke their hug and looked at each other.
"Sweetheart I want to hug you and help you feel better!"
Kyoko give Makoto a slight nod, and he walked over to Junko, and she wrapped his arms around him.
"Sweetheart, after hearing about your past and knowing the full truth. I will promise you one thing. I will be here for you always. If you ever need someone to talk to. I'm only a phone call away."
"Thank you. I really mean it….Junko," he whispered.
Junko froze as he said her first name. She started to feel happiness, and she liked it.
Mukuro took this chance to walk over to Kyoko.
"Mistress," she whispered. "Master said something….. Which you won't be happy with."
Kyoko looked at Mukuro with a confused look.
"He is starting to believe that you're getting sick of him going on about his sister and parents."
Kyoko's eyes widened in disbelief. "But I said to him-"
"Don't react right now Mistress. Wait you two are home and talk to him."
Mukuro stepped away, and Junko knew that her sister was done and she released Makoto.
"Before you two go and there one more thing I need to tell you two," Junko said. "The Student Council killing game will be happening in two weeks."
"Two weeks…" Kyoko muttered. "Kamukura, Ikusaba can you leave us for a few minutes."
Izuru left the room without saying a word, while Mukuro left the room after getting a small nod from her sister.
The trio was now alone. Kyoko walked up to Junko, and she placed her gloved hands on Junko's hips, and she leaned in and kissed Junko on the lips.
This caught Junko off guard for a few seconds as she didn't expect Kyoko to be making the first move. But she got into the grove and kissed Kyoko back.
Makoto watched on, and he was enjoying the show.
The two girls ended the kiss.
"Geez Babe, I wasn't expecting that," Junko giggled.
Kyoko blushed as she stepped away as Makoto walked forward. Junko placed her hands on his hips and the two made out.
Junko pulled back and smiled at him. "Remember what I said to you ok?"
"Yes, I do."
"Good, now you two better get out of here before it gets too late," Junko said.
The couple nodded and left the room.
"That went better than expected," Junko sighed. "My feelings are all over the place. I don't understand what is happening to me. But making friends has been nice… Sweetheart and Babe my first ever friends…."
Naegi household.
The couple arrived back home, and it was after 10 pm. The pair managed to avoid Makoto's parents and headed to their room.
Makoto got undressed to put on his sleeping t-shirt and shorts with Kyoko doing the same.
Kyoko was trying to figure out why Makoto thought she would be sicking of listening to him. She understood if a normal person found Makoto annoying after a while. But she wasn't normal, and she understood her boyfriend's pain.
"In two weeks time, we can't turn back," Makoto said brining Kyoko out of her thoughts.
She turned around to see him lying in bed.
"Makoto," she said softly.
Yeah?"
"We need to talk!"
Makoto looked at Kyoko, and he sat up. "Having second doubts?"
"No," she replied shaking her head. "Ikusaba told me something."
Makoto eyes widened, and he knew what Mukuro told Kyoko.
"Given your reaction, you know what I'm talking about?" Kyoko said.
Makoto nodded.
Kyoko sighed, and she sat on the bed with him, and she held his hand with her rotten hand.
"Makoto, please tell me why you think I would get sick of hearing you go on about Komaru and your parents?"
"Because you're the only person that I feel comfortable around when I talk about that stuff. I just felt you were starting to get sick of hearing the same old thing over and over again."
"Makoto, what did I say to you not long ago?" Kyoko asked.
"You didn't care how many times I speak about my sister and parents. You're by my side and will always love and support me."
"I meant every word," Kyoko said warmly.
"Kyoko, I'm sorry for being an idiot."
"No we are both idiots," she replied. "In two weeks we can't turn back as you said. We have doomed the world."
"I guess your right," he chuckled.
"Makoto, I've already decided about my father…. He can die!" She said coldly. "He never bothered showing his face when I was in the hospital after my grandfather died. So, he can die. I don't care for him."
"Fair enough," Makoto replied quietly. "I still don't know what I'm going to do with mine."
"Think about it other time ok?" Kyoko said softly,
"Yeah your right, maybe I should," he yawned. "I'm going to sleep good night Kyoko I love you."
He kissed her on the lips and laid down on his side and fell asleep.
Kyoko watched him sleep and melted her heart. "I love you too Makoto," she whispered.
She grabbed her phone and sent Mukuro a text.
'Ikusaba thank you for telling me what Makoto said. We spoke about the subject, and we are good.'
Kyoko got inside the bed slowly to avoid waking Makoto up. She felt her phone vibrating in her hand. She looked at the phone and saw a text from Mukuro.
'Your welcome Mistress, if you need me then I will come and aid you as soon as possible. Goodnight Mistress see you tomorrow.'
"Thank you Mukuro," Kyoko whispered. She put her phone on the tv stand and joined Makoto in a peaceful sleep.
Thank you for reading.
