It was the second to last week of school and months had passed since Byakuya, and Aoi made up, and they became a couple a few weeks later. They still argued, but deep down they loved each other.
Aoi became the top student in her computing class, and she was asked to stay behind one day. Her teacher asked her to hack a folder that had a password on it. Aoi was surprised by the request. But she did it and in record time.
While Byakuya was asked to stay behind in his team management class and his teacher showed in a map of the school, and he was asked how he would try and infiltrate the school if it was a bank.
Byakuya thought this was odd, but the teacher told him that he was the best student in the class and he would like Byakuya option to improve the school security. Byakuya looked at the map, and he pointed to parts of the map where it would be easy to slip in.
The teacher was impressed, and he told Byakuya. This map was 5 years old, and those areas have been already tightened up.
While Makoto and Kyoko faced against other people in athletics and martial arts and the couple beat everyone they came across. They were to face against each other one on one to determine who was better.
The couple was in the middle of the gym hall both were wearing black shorts and t-shirts, people were coming in, and some of the students took to their seats. Aoi and Byakuya showed up to support their friends. Junko showed up as well she kept annoying Makoto and Kyoko from time to time. She still had her eye on Makoto, and she was determined to make him hers.
Kazuo walked in alongside Kyosuke and a woman.
"Hey Byakuya," Aoi said. "Isn't that the same guy that you faced in that poker game months ago?"
Byakuya looked at Munakata, and his eyes widen in surprise. "Yes, it is Aoi. But what is he doing here sitting beside the Headmaster?" He asked.
"Hm…do you think he is the Headmaster grandson?" Aoi replied.
"That is a possibility," Byakuya replied. "But I wonder why he would be here to see Makoto and Kirigiri fight?"
"Maybe the Headmaster invited him and that woman along?" Aoi chipped in.
Byakuya didn't reply as he kept staring at Kyosuke.
While Junko looked at Kyosuke and the woman. 'So your Kyosuke Munakata and I'm guessing that's your girlfriend, Chisa Yukizome?' She giggled to herself. 'Oh, Munakata I know who you truly are, and I know this school is only a front. It's amazing what I can find out if I show off my body.'
"Hey, Makoto," Kyoko smile.
"What's up Kyoko?" He asked as the pair continued to stand in the middle of the gym hall.
"No holding back ok?" She said.
"But Kyoko…" He replied concerned.
"Makoto, I know you're worried about hurting me, but it's ok," she smiled.
A few of the teacher began to show up, and once everyone was in, Kazuo got off his chair walked over to Makoto and Kyoko.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Kazuo said in a clear voice. "Thank you for coming on short notice. Makoto Naegi and Kyoko Kirigiri have been outstanding and beaten everyone in their path. So, we have decided to make the pair face each other to see who superior. Once I sit in my chair, the contest will begin."
He looked at the pair, "I wish you both luck, and personally, I think it will be a draw." he smiled, as he walked back to his chair.
Makoto and Kyoko stared at each other both smiling.
"Before we start Makoto, is something that I would like to do," she smirked.
"Um, what's that?" He asked confused.
She leaned over and kissed him on the lips. Causing the girls in the room to go crazy apart from Junko who was raging.
"Enoshima is watching us, so you know," Kyoko giggled.
"Oh, Kyoko you're a bad person," Makoto chuckled. He took a few steps back and got himself ready. As did Kyoko then the pair charged at each other.
Kyoko aimed a punch at Makoto face, but he blocked it and grabbed her arm and threw Kyoko over his shoulder. The crowd started to cheer, while Byakuya kept his eyes on the Headmaster and Kyosuke.
"You ok Kyoko?" Makoto asked.
"Yes, I'm fine" she replied as she got up. She rushed at him again. She was aiming for his face again, however as Makoto was ready to block the punch again, but he was caught out by Kyoko sudden change in action. She grabbed his hands and head-butted him.
She held onto his hands to avoid him falling to the ground.
"Oh geez, Kyoko what is your head made of?" He groaned in pain. She began to giggle, and she kissed him on the forehead.
"Hey Mako," Junko shouted. "Don't let this bitch beat you! I know you can win kick the shit out of her."
Everyone in the crowd looked at Junko. While Makoto walked over to the Headmaster.
"Sir if you wish for this fight to continue then I want Enoshima removed from this room right now," he said firmly.
Kazuo nodded, and he stood up. "Junko Enoshima, I want you to leave this room right now," Kazuo ordered.
Junko was stunned. "B-But sir…."
"But nothing, you called your fellow student a bitch and used a poor choice of words. Which I will not stand for if you don't leave this room within 10 seconds consider yourself expelled."
Junko was raging, and she quickly got up and left leaving the whole room silent. Makoto nodded to Kazuo, and he walked back over to Kyoko and held her hand.
"Makoto thank you," Kyoko smiled, and the couple kissed.
"You ready to go again?" Makoto asked grinning.
Kyoko nodded, and Makoto let go her hand and quickly got behind Kyoko. He dropped to one knee and did a spinning kick to the back of Kyoko's legs, and she fell to the ground, but Makoto caught her before she made contact with the ground.
Byakuya was growing somewhat annoyed by their performance, and when he looked at Kyosuke, he saw the annoyed look on his face.
"Hey Makoto! Kirigiri!" Byakuya shouted. "Stop being soft and give us a real fight!"
Kyosuke looked at Byakuya, and the latter looked back. Byakuya saw Kyosuke smile for a few seconds, and he started to speak to the woman and the Headmaster.
"Byakuya what are you playing at?" Aoi said annoyed.
"Munakata is growing annoyed by their performance I can see it on his face. I want to see what his game is that's all," he replied. Aoi looked at Kyosuke and studied him.
Makoto and Kyoko got back on their feet, and they looked at each other.
"I suppose we better crank this up," Kyoko said.
"Agreed!" Makoto smiled. "How about we make a little wager."
Kyoko raised a little smirk. "Go on I'm listening?"
"If I win this duel, you take me out for dinner. But if you win, I will take you out," Makoto said.
"That's fine, but I would like to change what you would get if you win," Kyoko smirked.
"Um…right what do you have in mind?" Makoto asked.
Kyoko went up to his ear and whispered something which caused him to blush.
"W-Wait are you sure?" He asked.
She moved backwards and giggled. "Yes I am. Now Makoto, shall we?"
He nodded, and the two started to fight for real.
The pair landed punches on each other while sometimes they were able to avoid and block each other's attacks. The crowd were stunned at the performance, while Byakuya saw Kazuo and Kyosuke smiling.
The couple began to throw each other around. They enjoyed themselves, and they smiled the whole time. The fight lasted a good 5 minutes as Kyoko and Makoto drew their last punch and they hit each other on the face causing the couple to fall to the ground.
Aoi jumped from her seat in fear, and she ran towards the couple.
Kazuo stood up and said. "That is the fight over, I'm calling it a draw! Now everyone, please leave, Byakuya Togami and Aoi Asahina, please stay behind."
As the teachers and students left the room still in wow after Makoto and Kyoko performance.
Byakuya got up and walked over to his friends. "Makoto you ok?" He asked.
"Never better," Makoto replied catching his breath.
"What about you Kyoko?" Aoi asked. "Same, me and Makoto are evenly matched. We are an unstoppable team," Kyoko replied catching her breath.
"But look at the state of you two," Aoi said sadly.
"Aoi we are fine," Makoto said as sat up. "Could you grab us those two towels sitting on that chair over there please Aoi?"
Aoi got up and grabbed the towels from the chair, and she handed them to Makoto and Kyoko who was now sitting up.
The couple began to clean their sweat and the tiny amounts of blood up from their face.
"Congrats to you both, that was one hell of a show," Kazuo said as he, Kyosuke and Chisa walked up to the group.
"Now all of you are wondering what's going on. If you all would like to come to my office and I will explain everything," Kazuo said.
Makoto and Kyoko stood up, and everyone left the gym all and followed the old man back to his office. Makoto, Kyoko Byakuya and Aoi sat around the coffee table that Kazuo had in his office.
Kazuo pulled his chair from his desk and moved it to the table and sat down, while Kyosuke and Chisa remained standing.
"First off let me introduce Kyosuke Munakata and Chisa Yukizome," the Headmaster said.
"Hello nice to meet you all," Chisa smiled warmly.
"Still playing poker Togami?" Kyosuke smirked.
"No, I'm not I've stopped playing," Byakuya said glaring at Kyosuke.
"Wait a second?" Aoi said. "Headmaster, did you know that those poker games were going on?" She asked shocking her boyfriend and her two friends.
Kazuo chuckled, "of course I did. Who did you think set up the advents?"
"You did?" Kyoko said unfazed.
"You would be correct Miss Kirigiri," he smiled. "Now since the bombshells are dropping I might as well get to the big one."
"But wait," Aoi said. "You knew that people were getting into fights as well?"
Kazuo nodded. "It was done accordingly, listen to what I've got to say and everything will make sense" he replied.
Kazuo paused and picked his words. "Hope's Peak Academy has a secret purpose, and that purpose is to see who is skilled enough to become Hitmen."
"Hitmen?" Makoto said stunned.
"Yes, Mr Naegi, Munakata is the head of a secret organisation. That does contract killings before you are horrified by this information. The organisation only take on contracts that will benefit the world."
"So, you want us to be killers," Aoi said as she felt sick.
"Not us," Kyoko said calmly. "Just me and Makoto."
"I see you have clicked on Kirigiri," Munakata said emotionless.
Byakuya clicked on as well, and his eyes widened. "Of course, it makes sense now," he said annoyed. "You had Makoto and Kirigiri fight each other to see who would come out on top and have the winner to be the Hitman, while I would do the planning and Aoi would hack into security feeds and provide tactical support."
"Well done, you're smarter than I give you credit for," Kyosuke said. "But your role wouldn't be just planning. There was a reason why the poker games were set up. It was to see how good people were to hold their nerve and who had the perfect poker face and you didn't disappoint. I would like to apologise for my behaviour and my choice of words during our game. I wanted to get you angry to see if you kept your cool and you did. You would be very useful in intel gathering, and you know how to throw a good punch as well that is a benefit."
Byakuya didn't reply as he let the information sink in.
"Asahina, your role would be hacking and providing support as Togami has just said," Munakata said. "You will be working with high tech equipment."
"High tech?" Aoi replied.
"Yes, our gear is very advanced, and I'm sure you will be able to handle it," Munakata replied, and he looked at Makoto and Kyoko.
"As for you two. We only need the one hitman we always have three people in one group. However, your fitness, agility and you're fighting skills are incredible, and this is why I am going to allow just this once to have a group of four. Asahina, Togami you two are the best in your class, while Naegi and Kirigiri have beaten everyone they have come across until today. I do not doubt in my mind that you four will make the perfect team."
"We would need to agree to such a thing first!" Byakuya replied firmly.
"Yes of course," Munakata replied. "Please note, that this meeting should take place at the end of your second year and not first. But all of four of you have impressed me so much, that I'm willing to bend the rules and get you all in a year early."
"What would happen if we said yes?" Kyoko asked.
"All of you would leave the school and come and join us. We will give you and Naegi more training, while Asahina will get taught how to use our gear and as for Togami….we will provide him with a few lessons to improve his fighting skills in case he is trouble, and also we will give him a few VR missions to see if he can execute a plan without it failing horribly."
"Doubting me already I see," Byakuya said coldly.
"I doubt Asahina would like to see you in a body bag," Kyosuke said calmly.
"Kyosuke play nice," Chisa said giving him playful fist on the shoulder.
"One more question, before we talk about this," Kyoko said. "How many of the staff know about this?"
"A few" Kyosuke replied. "Now get on with it I don't have all day!"
The four friends looked at each other.
"So, what do you think, should we join them?" Byakuya asked.
"It's a no from me," Aoi said quietly. "The mere thought of helping with a plan to have someone killed it sickens me."
"Same," Makoto replied. "Do we want blood on our hands or have sleepless nights?"
Kyoko put her hand on Makoto's hand, and she smiled at him. "If Makoto says no then it's a no from me."
"Likewise," Byakuya said, and he held Aoi hand. Kyosuke folded his arms, and he was annoyed. Chisa noticed this, and she stood in front of him.
"Listen to me all of you," she said. "Killing is awful, but it needs to be done."
"Needs to be done?" Byakuya said annoyed. "We are only 18-years-old or soon to be, and you want us to be mentally scarred for life?"
"If it means taking out drug lords, people who are in the human trafficking and sex slave trade business then yes," Chisa said calmly.
Byakuya was left stunned by Chisa words, and he kept quiet it.
"It's a yes from me now!" Makoto said firmly. "If that's what you mean by making the world a better place then I'm in!"
"Makoto," Kyoko said in shock.
Kyosuke began to smile. "Good choice. Because your first mission when your ready will be in London. There is a man who sells barely legal women to be used as sex slaves."
"I see," Makoto said in disgust, and he looked at his friends and Kyoko. "Sorry guys, I want to do this now."
"It's ok Makoto we understand," Aoi smiled. "I'm in as well."
"Wait what?" Byakuya said in shock.
"Byakuya, I'm sorry," Aoi said sadly. "But I will not just sit here and let my fellow women suffer to be sold as sex slaves. If I can help and make a better future for those women, then I think the job will be worth it."
"If you're in Aoi, then I'm in as well," Byakuya said. "I will not leave your side." Makoto and Kyoko started to laugh, which cause Byakuya to blush.
"Wow Aoi you have softened him up," Makoto said.
"That I have!" Aoi giggled. "Kyoko are you going to change your mind and join us?" She asked.
Kyoko nodded. "Yes, I am!" She looked at Kyosuke. "When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow night we will pick you all up once the school is empty. You will all get paid weekly, and we will provide two apartments for you all to live in. However, these apartments are one bedroom only."
A smile appeared on Kyoko, and Aoi faces.
While Makoto began to laugh nervously. "You're kidding, right? How come your only giving us the one bedroom?"
Chisa began to giggle. "Oh you silly boy. You're in a relationship with Kirigiri it would sense to share a bed with your loved one would it not?"
Makoto froze, and his face became bright red. "K-Kyoko and m-me sharing a b-bed!"
Chisa burst out laughing as did Kazuo.
"Meeting is over," Kyosuke said not impressed by what was going on.
"Oh, come on Kyosuke lighten up," Chisa said as she kissed him on the lips causing him to blush.
"Aww," Aoi said with a smile.
"I'm counting the days you know," she smiled at him.
"For what?" Aoi asked.
"Kyosuke and I are getting married in a few months time. "Congrats," Byakuya said.
"Thank you, Togami," she replied.
"Come let's head," Kyoko said. She and Makoto got up and left the office holding hands. Byakuya and Aoi did the same. As the two couples walked outside the school for lunch, Aoi and Byakuya had things planned, and they left Makoto and Kyoko.
"Makoto," Kyoko said softly. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, I am sure," Makoto said firmly. "It's not the ideal job I had in mind, but if I can save people lives and give them a better future then killing won't be a problem…well once I get used to it of course."
"Remember I'm always by your side," she said softly.
"Kyoko thank you," he smiled, and the two kissed. However, the kiss was broken by someone bumping into Kyoko causing her to fall to the ground.
"Oops sorry Mako I never saw you there," Junko said winking at him. Kyoko got back to her feet and before she got a chance to do anything. Makoto pulled her in for a hug, and he glared at Junko.
"Enoshima, back off for fuck sake and stop calling me Mako. Are you stupid or something?" He said in anger.
"Me stupid? As if the only people that I see stupid are you and that bitch," she smiled. "Honestly Mako," she said with a wink to wind him up. "My body is perfect, and my hands are so more beautiful, and yet you go out with that thing."
"That thing happens to be my girlfriend I'm happy with Kyoko's body and hands there more beautiful than yours Enoshima. You're just a jealous pig that's all you are."
"Do pigs look as sexy as I do? No of course not Mako. You being with Kirigiri is making you stupid. Why don't you leave her and become my boyfriend? Because if you don't, then I might need to ruin Kirigiri's hands," Junko began to laugh. "Should I burn your hands or throw acid on them."
"You will do no such thing," Makoto said in anger. "If you lay even one finger Kyoko then you will be sorry."
"Come and be my boyfriend then and Kirigiri's hands are safe. You find them beautiful…well," Junko began to chuckle. "They won't be when I am done with them. Oh, Mako, you will be running to me saying that Kirigiri's hands are ugly and mine are beautiful and you wrong ever to doubt me."
"Makoto let me go!" Kyoko said firmly.
"No, I won't!" Makoto replied.
"Last warning Makoto!" Kyoko said. He sighed, and he let her go. Kyoko turned around, and she glared at Junko, and the latter did the same.
"If you don't make yourself vanish within 5 seconds. You will be sorry Enoshima!" Kyoko said darkly.
"How about you vanish!" Junko giggled. "Mako is better off without you, and he is better off with me. Wanna know why?"
Kyoko didn't reply as she did her best to control her anger.
"I'm going to be a model and fashion designer. I will be filthy rich, and I will have all the money I need to make Mako's life perfect."
Kyoko began to smirk, and this annoyed Junko. "Your forgetting one small detail Enoshima."
"Oh yeah, what's that?" Junko asked.
"Makoto loves me, and I love him," Kyoko replied with a smile. "We couldn't care less if we were rich or poor. As long as we have each other, then we are both happy. He doesn't love you Enoshima get that through your thick skull."
"Yeah whatever!" Junko replied. "One day me and him will be together regardless of what you say!"
Kyoko had enough, and she quickly pulled her fist back and punched Junko in the face causing her to fall to the ground.
Kyoko got on her knees and started to give Junko face a good beaten. Makoto quickly wrapped her arms around Kyoko's stomach, and he pulled her up to her feet and pulled her away.
"Enoshima, that was your last warning!" Kyoko shouted as Makoto pulled away from the scene. "Back off and leave us alone for good!"
Junko laid on the ground, and she used her hand to wipe the blood away from her lip.
"Oh Kirigiri, I was planning to let you live once I got my hands on Mako. But now you're on my death list. You will suffer before you die, that I can promise."
Makoto and Kyoko arrived back at his dorm room and headed inside. The first thing that Makoto did was hug his girlfriend.
"Kyoko I'm sorry," he whispered.
"You don't have to apologise Makoto," she replied softly. "It's not your fault that you have a crazy stalker that won't learn to back off."
Kyoko pulled herself away from Makoto, and she took her hand, and she guided him to the sofa. The pair sat down, and she held her hand tightly.
"Enoshima will not break us apart," she said firmly. "Thankfully we will leave this place tomorrow night, and we will see her ever again."
"Kyoko," Makoto said softly. "I promise you that if Enoshima tries to hurt you or do anything bad to your hands. I will be there to stop her."
Kyoko began to smile, and she kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you, Makoto, hearing that makes me feel happy and safe."
Makoto began to smile, and the two kissed. "So, what do you fancy doing later?" He asked.
"Well since our duel was a draw, I figured that we should both honour our bets," Kyoko smirked.
"W-Wait we should," Makoto said shocked. Kyoko began to giggle, and she pushed Makoto down until he laid on his back. She leaned over him and kissed him.
"Yes, we should," she smiled. "I was looking forward to dinner, and I'm sure that you were looking forward to your reward as well," she giggled.
"Y-Yeah I w-was" he replied sheepishly.
"Well, we have a few hours to burn so how about we watch a movie and then we will head out for dinner?" Kyoko said with a smile.
"Yeah sure I would like that very much," Makoto grinned.
Byakuya's apartment
Aoi and Byakuya were in the living room watching a film.
"You're very quiet," Aoi said. "Normally you would be moaning at the film, or we would be arguing right now."
"I'm just concerned that's all," he replied.
"About our new job?" Aoi asked. He nodded, and Aoi picked up the remote and paused the movie. "Byakuya it's something that I want to do. I know I had doubts at the start. But there are evil people out doing these awful things, out there in the world, and I want to help to wipe them all out."
"But this is a very dangerous line of work," he said annoyed.
"Do you think I'm that stupid not to know that," Aoi replied annoyed.
Byakuya let out a sigh, and he stood up. "I don't want to see you get hurt that's all."
Aoi stood up and hugged him. "Will you see me get hurt?" She asked.
"No of course not!" He replied.
"There is nothing to worry about then," Aoi said softly. "If the four of us work together we will be unbeatable."
"Aoi your optimism worries me," Byakuya said bluntly.
"And your pessimism about this is starting to annoy me," Aoi said annoyed.
"Well, I'm sorry Aoi if I'm showing my feelings. Honestly, will you think about this just for one minute!" Byakuya snapped back in anger.
Aoi pushed him away, and the two stared at each other. "I have, ever since we have left the Headmaster office and I'm not regretting my decision!" Aoi said coldly. She picked her phone up from the table.
"I'm going back to the school, don't bother talking to me," Aoi said, and she left.
"That blasted girl" Byakuya sighed, and he sat back down on the sofa. "Why can't she see that things could go wrong and we might end up losing each other for good," he muttered to himself. "Maybe I will talk to Kirigiri perhaps maybe she has the same feeling of doubt I have?"
Hours later
Makoto and Kyoko were sitting in a restaurant having a nice meal together. Everything was so peaceful, and they didn't have Junko to ruin things for them.
"This food is great!" Makoto said happily.
"I agree this is the best food I have tasted in a while," Kyoko said.
"When I headed back to my dorm to get ready, I saw Aoi watching TV, and she was not in the best of moods," Kyoko added.
Makoto began to chuckle. "What did her and Byakuya argue about this time?"
"She didn't say," Kyoko replied. "However, if I had to take a guess. It would be something to do with our new job."
Makoto didn't reply as he continued to eat his meal.
Kyoko's phone went off, and she into her bag and took it out. "Interesting," she said.
"What is it?" Makoto asked.
"It's a text from Togami," she replied as she opened up the text. "He wants me up with him at the park in an hour from now for a talk."
"No doubt it's about Aoi," Makoto sighed. "Go and see what he wants."
"You sure?" Kyoko replied.
"Yeah," he smiled. "I will see if I can cheer up Aoi."
"Deal!" Kyoko smiled back.
An hour later
Kyoko was walking to the park, it was about six in the evening, and it was still warm. She saw Byakuya sitting on the bench.
"Evening Togami," Kyoko said.
"Likewise," he replied.
"Now how can I help you?" Kyoko asked as she sat on the bench.
"It's about our new job," he said.
"So, this has nothing to do with Aoi?" Kyoko asked. "Because she wasn't in a good mood before I left for dinner with Makoto."
"Byakuya let out a sigh, and he folded his arms. "It's about her as well. I feel that we have made a mistake."
"In taking the job?" She asked.
"Yes," he replied. "I was trying to reason with Aoi about how this job is very dangerous, and we could end up getting hurt. But she brushed it off like it was nothing. She said if the four of us work together then we will be unbeatable. Her optimism concerns me greatly."
Kyoko took the time to let the information sink in and said. "I agree it is a very dangerous job. But if it's something that Aoi wants to do, then we can't stop her. Why do you think I've changed my mind from no to yes."
"Because of Makoto?" Byakuya muttered.
"Correct, Togami what you're going through emotionally right now. I'm going through it as well," she said. "The mere thought of Makoto getting hurt makes me feel sick. But I know I can't get him to change his mind because he is stubborn."
This made Byakuya chuckle.
"Togami, if Makoto wants to help make this world a better place for people to live in. Then I will be by his side helping him. I will also protect him from any dangers he might face. Because I love him and he put a smile on my face every time I see him, and the thought of losing him gives me despair. I will not be like Enoshima clingy and outright ignore his requests."
"I bet you're glad to be getting away from her?" Byakuya asked.
"You know it," she smirked.
"I'm glad Makoto is going out with you," Byakuya smiled. "You make him happy. God knows what would happen to him if Enoshima got her claws into him."
"Nothing good would happen we had another run-in with her after you and Aoi left us after got out of the Headmaster office," Kyoko said.
"What happened?" Byakuya asked concerned. Kyoko explained to him what happened and he was shocked.
"She is getting beyond a joke!" Byakuya said in anger.
"Tell me about it thankfully we will never see her again after tomorrow," Kyoko sighed.
"So Kirigiri will you tell your parents about your new job?"
"Parent," she corrected him. "My mother passed away when I was only seven."
"Kirigiri, I'm sorry," Byakuya mumbled.
"No, it's fine, you didn't know, in fact, nobody knew," Kyoko said quietly. "When my mother passed away, it broke me and my father, and I have never felt so sad in my life. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't get close to anyone. So, I could avoid feeling that pain again if I lost another loved one. That's why I was cold at the start. But meeting Makoto and Aoi, they grew on me, and I started to warm up."
"They have grown on me as well," he chuckled.
Kyoko began to smile. "To answer your question Togami. I will tell my father at some point. He has been my rock over these last 11 years, and I love him dearly. So, what about your family?"
Byakuya let out a sigh, "My parents and I don't see eye to eye right now. Because I'm dating in their eyes a commoner. I doubt they care what I would do."
"Your parents see Aoi as a commoner?"
"Yes, Aoi is middle class, and not upper class. My parents are snobs, and they wanted me to marry a girl from another wealthy family. I will admit I was a snob as well, but when I laid my eyes on Aoi. I couldn't care less what class she was."
"I'm surprised that you still have your apartment if you and your parents don't see eye to eye," Kyoko said.
"They don't hate me that much!" he snapped back Then he shook his head. "Sorry forgive me," he sighed.
"No, it's fine Togami. All this talk about parents and I doubt it will have crossed our respective partner's minds yet," Kyoko sighed.
"I wouldn't put it past them, Aoi and Makoto don't look at the bigger picture sometimes," Byakuya said. "Kirigiri I was thinking of hosting a small party at my apartment tonight. I was going to invite Makoto once I talk to Aoi, would you like to come?"
"Yes, I would that sound lovely," Kyoko replied.
"Well come on let's get the others," he said.
The pair got up from the bench and headed back to the school unaware that Junko had been watching them the whole time and had been taking a few pictures of the pair.
"Sweet!" Junko smiled. "I've got the pictures all I need to do is now come up with a very convincing lie so that Mako will break up with that bitch. Maybe I will break up his friendship with rich boy as well. Mako doesn't need anybody else when I can be his girlfriend and his best friend at the same time!" Junko began to laugh, and she rushed off back to the school.
Dorms
Makoto and Aoi were in her dorm living room watching TV.
"So, you still mad at Byakuya?" He asked.
"Not now," Aoi replied sadly. "He was showing legit concern, and I should have listened to him. I shouldn't have left his apartment in a huff."
"I'm sure everything will be fine between you two," Makoto said trying to improve Aoi mood. "He loves you a lot you know."
"I know he does!" Aoi blushed. "He has gone through a lot of stick because he is dating me."
"Because what of what his parents think of you being middle class?" Makoto asked.
Aoi nodded.
"I see," Makoto muttered.
"Makoto, do you have any doubts about taking this job?" Aoi asked.
"Yeah, I have a few. The thought of killing another person is making me feel sick. By taking this job, I have put myself in harm's way. Which Kyoko won't be too happy with and lastly in the last hour and I began to think about my parents and sister."
Aoi felt a cold chill going down her spine. "Oh no, I forgot about my family," she said horrified. "What I'm going to tell them?" She placed her hands over her face to hid her shame from Makoto.
"I'm not going to tell my family," Makoto said. "It's best if they don't know the truth. Then again I don't think Munakata would allow us to speak the truth anyway." Aoi took her hands away from her face and looked at Makoto.
"I guess you're right," she mumbled. "I don't want to worry my brother or my parents. But if they don't know then things should be ok." They heard the door open, and the pair saw Kyoko and Byakuya walk in.
Aoi jumped up from her seat and went over to Byakuya and hugged him. "Byakuya, I'm sorry for my attitude today. It was rash and immature, you were showing concerns about the job, and I brushed them off which giving much thought."
Byakuya wrapped her arms around her. "It's ok Aoi. I'm not mad at you. You are free to make your own choices in life, and I was letting my personal feelings getting in the way. If you want to do this job, then I will be your side."
"Byakuya thank you," she whispered. The pair went silent and enjoyed the moment. Then Byakuya pulled away from his girlfriend.
"Would you like to come back to my apartment for a small party?" He asked.
"I would love to!" Aoi smiled.
"What about you Makoto?" He asked.
"Sure, I'm game!" Makoto smiled. Aoi went into her bedroom to grab her jacket.
While Kyoko walked over to Makoto, who had just stood up. "You coming as well Kyoko?" he asked.
"Yes, I am," she nodded. "Makoto see that thing that I promised you…."
He went up to her ear and whispered. "It can wait; besides we are going to share a bed together soon so we can do a lot more stuff together." He pulled away, and he was blushing, which cause Kyoko to giggle.
Aoi came back with her jacket on, and she turned off the TV, and the group left the dorms. Makoto was holding hands with Kyoko, while Byakuya and Aoi were doing the same.
As they were walking out of the school, Junko appeared out of nowhere, and she pointed her finger at Kyoko.
"I've caught you now Kirigiri I knew that you were up to no good."
Instead of being angry with the crazy girl, Kyoko and Makoto with left surprised.
"Excuse me?" Kyoko replied. "Don't act surprised Kirigiri, how could you go behind Mako's back with rich boy here. Mako what did I tell you, that bitch is only using you to get to Togami."
"Where is your proof?" Byakuya said annoyed.
Junko started to grin. "I was in the park taking photos of you and bitch sitting together." Makoto released his hand away from Kyoko's hand, and he took a few steps forward.
"Do you mind if I took a look?" He asked.
"Sure, thing Mako" Junko smiled, and she took her phone out of her pocket and unlocked it and went into her photos then handed her phone to Makoto.
He went through her photos, and he turned around to face Kyoko, Byakuya and Aoi.
"Kyoko, Byakuya how could you two?" He said annoyed, but he winked at the same time. He turned around back to Junko, and she was trying her best not to jump for joy.
Makoto backed out of those photos, and he saw an album called Mako. He went into the album, and he was horrified at the number of photos that Junko had of him on her phone. He scrolled down, and there must have been hundreds of photos. The others behind him were shocked and horrified as well as the number of pictures she had.
"Enoshima," Makoto said quietly.
"Yes, Mako?"
"Is it ok if I can get your number?" Hearing this caused Kyoko and the others eyes to widened in surprise.
"Yeah sure," Junko smiled.
The trio watched Makoto pulled out his phone, as they saw him going into Junko's settings, on her phone, and he went onto the screen that said restore to factory settings. They watched Makoto touching his phone which was still locked. The trio realised that he was buying himself time by fooling Junko.
Then he hit the restore to factory settings button on Junko's phone. He smiled at Junko, and she smiled in return unaware that she had just lost everything. He put his phone back into his pocket, and he handed Junko's phone back to her.
Her smile quickly vanished as she looked at her phone as it was resetting itself.
"Naegi what did you do?" Junko said firmly. Makoto and the others were surprised that Junko used his second name.
"Oh, nothing important," he smiled.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO NAEGI!" Junko screamed at him.
"Well if you must know I pressed the restore to factory settings," he said.
"WHY WHY WHY OH MY FUCKING GOD WHY!" she screamed at him.
"Because I found hundreds of photos of me on your phone and that is very creepy," he said firmly.
"IT'S BECAUSE I FUCKING LOVE YOU. HOW AM I MEANT TO MASTURBATE NOW IF I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS OF YOU!"
Makoto and the others were stunned by Junko's confession. Junko put her phone back in her pocket, and she gives Makoto a very dark glare. Then she quickly raised her hands and dug her nails into his cheeks and pulled her nails down his face.
Makoto roared in pain. Byakuya grabbed his friend's shoulders and pulled Makoto back leaving Kyoko with open space to rush forward and punch Junko in the face and which sent her crashing to the ground.
Aoi got a spare tissue out of her pocket, and she began to clean up the blood that was running down Makoto's cheeks.
"Come on let's go quickly!" Byakuya said. They all left and leaving Junko lying on the ground crying.
"I'm sorry Mako, I didn't mean to hurt you," she sobbed.
Byakuya's apartment
The four friends arrived at the apartment. Kyoko took Makoto to the sofa, while Aoi and Byakuya got tissues and a few plasters. Makoto stared at the ground feeling depressed as he held tissues on both of his cheeks.
Aoi and Byakuya came into the living room with supplies.
"Hey Makoto, can I see your cheeks for a few seconds?" Aoi asked. Makoto lowered the tissues and Aoi got a decent look at his face thanks to the light being on.
"Right, I think we should forget about the tissues and go straight for the plasters. Enoshima stuck her nails in deep. I'm not sure when the bleeding will stop." Aoi put a long plaster of the box and put one on Makoto's right side cheek, and she did the same for his left.
She took the two tissues out of his hands and left the living room to put them in the bin, and she washed her hands and came back in.
"I'm sorry everyone," Makoto mumbled.
"Don't you dare start apologising Makoto!" Aoi said firmly. "This wasn't your fault."
"It was," he mumbled. "If I hadn't pushed Enoshima that far…"
"Makoto will you just shut up already!" Byakuya said in anger. "I admit, doing a factory restore on Enoshima phone might have been a step too far. But considering the amount of shit she has put you and Kirigiri through, I would say fair game."
A few tears fell from Makoto's eyes, and it broke Kyoko's heart.
"I'm sorry," he whimpered. "She was starting to get to me. She wouldn't leave Kyoko and me alone." Kyoko pulled Makoto in for a hugged.
"Makoto," Aoi said softly. "Me and Byakuya are always here for you and Kyoko. I know things have been rough. But after tomorrow night we will never to have to see Enoshima ever again."
Kyoko was rubbing the back of Makoto's head. "Aoi is right. Once we get out of here no more Enoshima and we can finally be happy together without her causing problems. Who knows maybe one day in the future we might get to kill her."
Aoi and Byakuya's eyes snapped on to Kyoko, while Makoto moved away from his girlfriend's hug.
"I wouldn't mind that at all," he said darkly. Kyoko smiled, and she kissed him on the forehead.
"You feeling better?" She asked him.
"Yes, I am now thank you Kyoko" he smiled. "Right let's get this party started."
Aoi and Byakuya looked at each other for a few seconds then the latter left the living room and brought out four wine glasses and left again and came back with a bottle of wine.
"Togami, do you know we are underage right?" Kyoko said.
"Yes, I'm well aware. But considering we are leaving the school tomorrow. I felt we can make a toast to the future."
"I've never had a drink before," Makoto said.
"Me neither," Aoi replied.
"I've had the odd drink with my father," Kyoko said. "But it was the light stuff."
"Shocking Kyoko," Aoi said causing her, Makoto and Kyoko to laugh. Byakuya took the cork out of the bottle, and he poured wine into the four empty glasses. Once they were full, Byakuya put the bottle down and grabbed his glass as did the others.
"A toast, to our new jobs. Creating a better tomorrow to those who are less fortunate!" Byakuya said raising his glass with the others followed suit.
A day later
Makoto and Byakuya were in their dorm along with Kyoko and Aoi they were all packed up and ready to go. They were waiting to be picked up.
"I'm getting nervous now," Aoi said.
"We can still back out," Byakuya said.
"I didn't mean about the job. I mean about us living full time together."
Byakuya raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Why would you be nervous about us living together?"
"You're my first ever boyfriend, and I don't know what to expect that's all," Aoi replied playing with her fingers.
A smirk appeared on Byakuya face. "I don't see what the problem is since we already have shared the same bed back at the apartment." Aoi face turned bright red causing Makoto and Kyoko to laugh.
Then they heard a knock on the door and Makoto got up to answer it. He opened the door, and he saw Chisa on the other side.
"What happened to you?" She asked shocked as saw Makoto's face. He didn't reply, and Chisa felt it was best to move on.
"You four ready?"
He nodded and shouted at the others, and they all left the dorms and walked to the car park, and two cars were waiting for them.
Makoto and Kyoko put their suitcases in the boot of the car and got in the car along with Chisa. While Byakuya and Aoi put their bags in other vehicles boot and they got inside, and they left the Hope's Peak Academy for the final time.
30 minutes later
The two cars arrived at this fancy apartment building. Everyone got out of the vehicles,
"Don't worry about your suitcases and that people will get them for you," Chisa smiled. "Let me take you all to your rooms."
The group followed Chisa in the building, and they stopped at the reception desk.
"Evening Miss Yukizome," said the female receptionist.
"Evening," Chisa replied. "Are the rooms ready?"
"Yes, they are," the woman said, and she looked at the group. "Aren't they a bit young looking?" The women said.
"They are first-year students who have impressed Kyosuke enough convincing him to take them on a year early," Chisa replied.
"Impressive," the woman said, and she handed Chisa four keys.
Chisa and the group walked into a lift, and the older women pressed the button for the 5th floor.
"There was something that I failed to mention about the rooms yesterday," Chisa said. "Remember that Kyosuke said that it was always a team of three. Well, each person would get a room to themselves for privacy. That's why it's a one bedroom apartment. But because you four are in a relationship with your better half, it made sense to us to have you live together as couples," Chisa smiled. "But don't worry about the space the apartments are large enough to house two people."
They reached the 5th floor, and Chisa handed them the group a key each.
"Togami, Asahina. You two will be in room 502. While Naegi and Kirigiri will be in room 501. We will pick you up at 9 am tomorrow to give you a tour of the HQ that you will be training in. If you have any problems, please don't be scared to ask," Chisa said. She went back into the lift and headed down.
Byakuya and Aoi headed to explore their new apartment. As did Makoto and Kyoko, when the latter couple walked into the apartment they were both shocked.
"Kyoko this place is massive!" Makoto said stunned.
"This must be a 5-star building," Kyoko replied.
She walked around the place to check the kitchen, the bathroom and lastly the bedroom and a smirk appeared on her face.
"Look Makoto the bed is king size."
Makoto walked up to the bedroom and saw the size of the bed. "I can't wait to wake every morning with my arms wrapped around you Kyoko," he chuckled. Kyoko began to blush.
Next day
The group were in the HQ which was called the Future Foundation, and they were exploring the place. The building was state of the art and Aoi began to drool at all the high-tech equipment.
Then the group were pulled into Kyosuke office. "Right I will make this quick," he said. "Next week you all will have medical check-ups and that. To make sure that there is nothing wrong with any of you. Once the week is up, I will give you all two weeks off so you can collect your affairs in order. Since next week is the last week at Hope's Peak before the holidays start it would make sense for all of you to go back home to avoid unwanted questions by your families and do not tell them about this job understood?"
The group nodded.
"Good, I will send you all out letters asking to join our company with false job offers. Of course, so all of you have an excuse not to go back to Hope's Peak. Anyway questions?"
The group never replied.
"Good, since today is Friday. I will give you all the weekend off you all can get used to being here. Now leave!" he ordered.
The following week everyone got their check-ups, and the group went through the building health and safety procedure along with other things.
When the week was up, they headed back to their respective families for their two week holiday. They got their letters in as Kyosuke had said. So when there two weeks holiday was up Makoto, Kyoko, Byakuya and Aoi headed back to their apartments to start their new lives.
