Looks like things are good despite getting a few reviews, and now here is the second chapter where things would pick up where the last chapter left off, in which the survivors are debating on what to do next, as some want to go to their homes to see if their loved ones are okay while others want to check other "things", but for Naegi, he wants to go camping in at his house and check to see if his family is still there but he won't be alone as some of his classmates go with him and they make their plan on where they should head off next knowing the situation within the city and how to transverse without getting caught as they anticipate that some "despaired citizens" would try to make them despair once sighted.

Ch. 4: Yokan

Elsewhere...

The scene shifts to an unspecified location, where Kyoko Kirigiri and Chihiro Fujisaki arrived in secret, forced to wear a pair of "Monokuma masks" to pass by the streets unnoticed seeing that the "despaired citizens" are also wearing "Momokuma masks" and are causing various acts of violence such as vandalism, and some are attacking some hapless citizens who unwittingly got caught on sight, and Fujisaki winced at seeing this while Kirigiri remained stoic and and told Fujisaki to keep going or else they too would get caught. By then the two arrived at a specific meeting place and all they have to do is wait.

"This is the place...be ready for anything..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Will this friend of yours show up here?"

"Yes...I'm sure of it..."

"Okay..."

"Be brave."

"Okay..."

After a few minutes of waiting, someone came and is wearing a "Monokuma mask", and both Kirigiri and Fujisaki braced themselves as they expect something worse, until they began speaking to each other, which slowly brought relief to the three persons in question.

"Kyoko Kirigiri?"

"Yes...and you are...?"

"It's me! Yui!"

"Yui!"

"Long time, no see, Kyoko!"

"I missed you too!"

"Ah...it's been a long time to see that reaction of yours after putting on that stoic persona..."

"Yui!"

"Welcome back..."

The person who just arrived removed the mask, and it turns out to be Yui Sumidare, and there Kirigiri removed her mask and hugged Yui, as the two girls are revealed to be friends since three years ago, and both are relieved to see that they're alright, and unharmed, in which Yui said that she has been trying to get a hold of Kirigiri but with no success, but then she told her and Fujisaki to follow her as the streets are not quite safe for the time being due to the "chaos"and both Kirigiri and Fujisaki followed Fujisaki as the trio head to an unspecified location to hide.

Several minutes later, Yui and the other two girls arrived at an abandoned house that has a secret basement and there she showed to them her father who also survived "the tragedy", and from there the Sumidare's made Kirigiri and Fujisaki "feel at home" and gave them food and drinks to nourish themselves and after several minutes, Kirigiri told Yui and her dad about what went on at the academy, how Mukuro Ikusaba helped her classmates escape and that Enoshima was behind the "tragedy" as well as causing the death of Jin Kirigiri, which Yui was shocked to silent.

"...and that's what happened..."

"No way..."

"That's the truth..."

"I'm sorry about your dad..."

"It's okay..."

"That Enoshima...how could she..."

"She's quite insane as she is obsessed with despair...wait...are you sure about what Ikusaba told you...?"

"Yeah...makes me want to kill her on the spot..."

Yui couldn't believe what she and her dad just heard, but then Fujisaki provided the recorded conversation they had with Ikusaba, and that was enough to convince her, and but then she noticed that only Kirigiri and Fujisaki are here and she asks what happened to her other classmates, in which Kirigiri said that the others went their separate ways to check on their loved ones which Yui was shocked as she told her that there is a chance that they might end up getting killed by the "despaired citizens", but Kirigiri stated that they will survive as thy have the radios to keep in touch, and seeing that it was already night tie, Yui decided to let her friends rest and continue their conversation in the morning.

-x-

The following morning, the scene shifts to the Naegi residence, where the the scene zooms in on Naegi's bedroom, where Naegi is still asleep as the clock shows that the time now is 10:00, and Maizono woke up first and finds herself snuggled against Naegi, in which she blushed and slowly got up, but then notices that he looked cute while asleep, and she gently brushed a hand on his hair, then his cheek, as she stared intently on his face, feeling drawn to him.

"Naegi-kun..."

Maizono unconsciously went nearer and her lips is shown to be coming closer to Naegi's but then Naegi opened his eyes and is surprised to see her face near his and this snapped her back to reality and she backed away, her face flushed in embarrassment, and so was Naegi's, and both tried to regain their composure as they arranged themselves, and an awkward moment took place as they tried to make some alibi to evade the subject of their faces nearing each other.

"Um..."

"M-Maizono-san..."

"G-good morning..."

"Y-yeah...good morning to you as well..."

"Did you...um..sleep well?"

"Yeah...like a log..."

"That's good to hear..."

"Uh, yeah..."

After regaining their composure, she then had Naegi lie down and raised the hem of his shirt to check on his bandaged wounds, and she said that they will have breakfast first before she helps him clean the wound, though Naegi tries to turn down the offer but she wouldn't take no for an answer and she playfully shoved Naegi towards the door as they are heading for the dining room, wherein Kuwata and Ohwada woke up after a rather long slumber.

-x-

A few minutes later, the four teens are convening at the dining room, where the ration for the day are placed on the table and Naegi prepared the plates so they can eat. Ohwada and looked around to see if the doors are secured, and seeing that it needs a bit of a barricade, he asked Kuwata to help him, and he tells the others to go ahead, so Naegi waited at the dining room as Maizono went ahead and prepared the food, and another few minutes, the food is ready, and she called on Ohwada and Kuwata, and the four teens ate their food, and after several minutes they are done, and are "charged".

"Ah...good food..."

"I'm stuffed..."

"Me too..."

"Too bad the food in the fridge are wasted..."

"Yeah...considering that we've been in the academy for two straight years..."

"At least we won't be worrying about it...we won't stay long here..."

"Yeah..."

"..."

By then Ohwada and Kuwata got up and began to check the doors and checked thm as part of securing the entry/exit points and then asked Naegi to get something, which he did, and there Naegi showed the item he took, which turns out to be a map of the neighborhood his house is in, and he did so, which he gave it to Ohwada and he rolled it, intending to hold on to it while they rest and hide to keep their presence from the other "despaired neighbors" and wait for nightfall so that when everything is clear then they can review the map to make preparations on their next move.

-x-

The scene shifts back at the hiding place where Yui, Kirigiri and Fujisaki are currently staying, and they just woke up after resting, seeing that the time now is 11:30, and there Yui was already up and made some breakfast in which they ate it and now they are talking about what to do next, in which they anticipate that Enoshima would make her move and do something to cause the "despaired citizens" to cause a riot, and Kirigiri is sure that Enoshima might entice the citizens to go after the escapees, and there Yui pointed out that the rest of her classmates who went separate ways might get in the crossfire and in trouble.

"So your friends went separate ways?"

"Yes...they want to check on their families and friends...so I gave the a radio to keep in touch..."

"I think that's a bad idea...what if their loved ones have already escaped? Or if unlucky...killed? Their efforts would be for naught..."

"That's their decision...it can't be helped..."

"Can you contact them?"

"I might...but why?"

"It's best if you all stick together and stay alive...there's a chance that Enoshima might cook up something and force any of your friends to get hauled back to that academy..."

"I'll see what I can do..."

By then Fujisaki is watching TV and saw something and called out Kirigiri and she and Yui came and saw the live footage coming out and there Kirigiri showed a rare emotion and she immediately grabbed her radio and makes an attempt to contact her classmates to give them a warning of what is soon about to take place.

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter of this fic, and this is the start of the trouble Naegi and the others are about to face, and though you may find it rather odd that this sounds similar to the likes of American suspense films such as "The Purge", or the Playstation 2 game "State Of Emergency", but this is what it's all about, as Naegi and the rest must use their wits to survive and stay hiddenbefore trouble comes in their way.

More on how Naegi and the gang's challenges and survival on the "outside world" will be detailed in the upcoming chapters.

Preview:

The die is cast, and Naegi and the rest are about to face another crisis as the despaired citizens are taking "arms"…and intend to catch them.
