Chapter 10
The second incentive
Kitty woke up earlier than usual the next day. She grunted as she opened her eyes, then smiled, finding Celeste hugging her body from the side, her arm sleepily grabbing Kirigiri's butt. Kirigiri on the other hand was sleeping heavily on her stomach, one hand lying over Kitty's breast. Kitty lay like this for a while, enjoying the peace while it lasted, because when she gave Kirigiri back her memories, hell would rain down.
She felt the problem solve itself when she felt Kirigiri stir. She closed her eyes and feigned sleep, a content smile on her face as Kirigiri grunted and opened her eyes.
"Well… fuck."
Kitty held her mask in place, even as Kirigiri whispered the words. She felt her remove her hand from her breast gently to not disturb her, and felt her laying Celeste's hand over her butt, Celeste grunting gently but not protesting any more. Some rustling were heard as Kirigiri gathered her things and got dressed, and finally the sound of a door opening and closing was heard.
"Well she was in a hurry to leave wasn't she?"
Kitty opened her eyes smiling down at Celeste who was looking at the door.
"Have you been awake for long?"
"I woke when she moved my hand."
Celeste smiled and grabbed hold of Kitty's right butt cheek. "I opened my eyes for a second as she looked for her clothes. She was bending over picking up her underwear; it was quite the stimulating look."
Kitty laughed but stretched. "We should get up too; it's almost time for breakfast."
A while later Kitty and Celeste stood outside of the cafeteria. Kitty stopped and lifted her ring.
"Something the matter?"
"I only gave Kirigiri half of deal… I probably should have given her the rest… the part she lost after... well you know."
Celeste looked up to the wall, seeing a camera knowing what Kitty was talking about.
"You can't let her know… she'd expose everything and we'd all be in trouble."
Kitty nodded. "Yeah… now lets go and get some breakfast."
The two walked into the cafeteria seeing that everyone was present, except Togami and Fukawa. Mondo and Ishimaru were still arguing, and Kirigiri looked at Kitty and Celeste before blushing deeply and looking down.
"Good morning" Kitty said sitting down next to Asahina. "What are those two arguing about?"
"The same as always, how to deal with Togami."
Kitty looked up at the two, screaming back and forth, before getting fed up.
"Yeah I can't take this much longer" Kitty said, turning to Celeste. "Want to hit the library? I'd rather deal with Togami than these two."
"Agreed" Celeste said, rising as Kitty did, walking out of the cafeteria.
"Hey Kitty." Kitty turned at Kirigiri's voice, seeing the detective walk up to her.
"I… uhm… thanks… for yesterday." And with that single thing said Kirigiri simply walked off to her room, blushing deeply.
Celeste giggled.
"Such a cute little girl."
"And yet, so serious" Kitty said, grinning too. "Now, library?"
Celeste nodded, following Kitty up to the second floor, where the library opened.
"OUT. I will only say this once more you damn miserable leech, stop breathing my air and take a shower, you stink."
The door slammed shut as Fukawa stood outside it, blushing deeply and sighing.
"He cares about me."
"Oy vei" Kitty said, Celeste shaking her head.
"That girl needs a reality check."
"Later, I can't be bothered right now" Kitty said, stepping into the library. "Morning Togami, how is that stick that's up your ass."
"Get out of the library Petro."
"No, if you want privacy you can go someplace else… now then where is that mystery novel I found last time…?"
Celeste didn't speak, simply smiled and sat down with her own book, enjoying time together with Kitty.
The day went by as it always did, Kitty and Celeste sharing each other's company when the school bell rang… however for once the message was different.
Ahem, ahem, may I have your attention please. It is getting near night time, but before that I have an announcement. Everyone gather in the gymnasium on the double. Emergency, emergency.
Kitty sighed, looking at Celeste. "Before we go down, know that I love you, and I will understand it if you hate me for doing something rash."
Celeste didn't say anything, simply rose from her seat. Togami had left after 5 minutes of having to share the same airspace as the two lovers, so they were alone… at least until they were in the gymnasium.
…
"Oh my god you guys are boring… well except lolita and arrow head, you two never fail to entertain, but the rest of you are so darn boring."
Kirigiri simply scowled at the bear, her memories making her cheeks flush deeply.
"Was there a reason for you to call us here other than to tell us how boring we are?"
"Well as bored out of my mind that I am, I felt like it was time for another murder."
Monokuma held up a couple of envelopes, giving one to each of the people around the room. "In that there envelope is your next incentive, an embarrassing fact that I am sure no one here want to public to know. If I don't have my murder by the next 48 hours these facts will be shared with everyone."
Kitty opened her envelope, looking at what it said.
Kitty Petro lost her virginity in a 7 way lesbian orgy when she was 17.
'It was true enough' Kitty thought to herself. At least it was true as far as what she had made Enoshima believe when they went to school together. However, that didn't mean that this was going to stop her from throwing a few sticks into her wheel.
"Right then… time for me to be blunt. You say everyone here is hiding a secret and if they want that secret to remain so they got to kill?"
"Yes, that is what I am saying."
"All right…" Kitty turned and walked up to Fukawa.
"Fukawa is a schizophrenic person whose extra personality is Genocider Shou."
Before Fukawa could react Kitty had lunged her hand under her skirt to a leg pouch, dragging out one of Genocider's scissors.
"Evidence A."
"Fujisaki is a cross dressing boy, sorry Fujisaki, I told you the truth had to come out."
Fujisaki winched. "I know, sorry I wasn't brave enough to do it myself."
"Oowada was responsible for his brother dying in a motorcycle accident, don't give me that look Oowada, I read up on everyone before I came here, no one gives a shit."
"The reason Hagakure was held back 3 years in school was because he scammed a woman while doing his fortune readings and got the yakuza on his tail forcing him to hide."
"Sad but true" Hagakure said nodding sagely.
"Enoshima here have a tattoo on her hand that she constantly tries to hide under the makeup, give it up honey, we don't care, let the products lie, why don't you?"
Kitty walked past Mukuro with a small wink, Mukuro refusing to look at her, as well as avoiding the look Monokuma was giving her.
Stepping in front of Celeste Kitty took a breath.
"Speak a single word and you can sleep by yourself for the rest of the week."
Kitty sighed. "I figured that would be the punishment. Real name Yasuhiro Taeko."
The bitch slap that came was in no ways a surprise, but it didn't mean it didn't sting.
Kitty didn't look at Celeste, but walked down the line pointing to people as she talked.
"Togami here still sleeps with a Teddy bear" Kitty continued, a few heads turned at that announcement.
"Kirigiri was in a terrible fire accident when she was younger and still has the marks on her hands to show for it."
"I lost my virginity in a 7 way lesbian orgy when I was 17."
Kitty looked around, continuing to point fingers. "Hifumi has a restraining order from the voice actor of Heretic Angel Mochi Mochi Princess."
"Ishimaru has a black spot on his school record from grade school, don't ask me for what, every time Sakura has gone to a new school she have to show her gym teachers her birth certificate to make them believe that she is female, you have my sympathies for that by the way."
Sakura didn't speak, simply looked away like everyone else did as Kitty continued on.
"After the Olympics Asahina spent a third of her winning money on donuts, and finally, Naegi wet the bed until the 3rd grade."
Kitty looked around. No one was saying anything. Celeste was scowling at her. Making sure that no one was paying attention, Kitty locked eyes with Monokuma, her lips moving without a sound coming from it, mouthing two words that made Monokuma's red eye flash briefly.
'Twin sister.'
"Now then, with that out of the way I am going to bed, you can all talk about how you hate my guts if you want, right now I don't really care."
Kitty walked out of the gym, raising a hand to her cheek. Usually she didn't mind it when Celeste played rough… but this hurt. She walked down the corridor turning as she heard footsteps, Mukuro rushing after her.
"What in the world did you just do?"
"Tried to prevent a murder" Kitty said.
"By pissing off the one person you do not want to piss off?"
Kitty turned around to look straight into Mukuro's terrified eyes.
"You that afraid of her?"
"Aren't you?"
Kitty thought it over. Then she turned around. "Oh grand master of scheming, plotter and destroyer of hope, Super high school level Despair, Enoshima Junko, I want a moment of your time."
The familiar pop of Monokuma made Kitty turn around. "Hi there Enoshima, how is your day going? Still bored out of your mind?"
Monokuma looked enraged. "Who, THE FUCK, do you think you are? And why the hell didn't you tell me that she knew?"
The shout was directed towards Mukuro, not Kitty, the girl shrinking back a little.
"Are you sure you should be yelling at her? All she needs to do is to take off a wig and everyone will know who the mastermind is."
Monokuma turned around to Kitty. "And how long have you known about this?"
"Let me put it this way… you can't give me amnesia no matter how much you try… and you have tried many times haven't you? Tried to make me forget about that drunken misconduct we did together in our second year, walked around a full day snapping your fingers at me didn't you? People started wondering if you were becoming a beatnik."
Monokuma scowled. "And what are you going to do now? What I have always planned on doing… living here, trying to make sure that as few as possible die."
"As few as possible?"
"Well people will do stupid things, but as long as it doesn't happen to people I like I don't plan on doing much. Now excuse me, I need to go get some sleep… oh, wait, one more thing."
Monokuma stared as Kitty smiled. "Given the fact that I can cancel out your amnesia… should you not be worried about who I might tell?"
Another red flash appeared in Monokuma's red eyes. "All right arrow head, what do you want?"
Kitty smiled. "My toys… Celeste already knows, but like me she's not going to do anything about it. Also, we want to make sure that we are both safe from you two… if one end up dead the other will tell the others everything. So no using your fancy master key to get into our rooms and killing us off."
Mukuro looked over at Monokuma, who looked downright pissed. "That is my terms Junko… I am sure you two have lots to discuss… good night Mukuro; I will see you in the morning."
Kitty walked back to her room, getting comfortable on her bed. That probably hadn't been the wisest move. She had played her cards a tad earlier than she should have had. She should have waited at least until after the 3rd trial… but she was so sick of all these lies. Now however, things were in motion. Kitty gently rubbed her ring. It only granted good wishes. So wishing for forgiveness would have no effect. However, wishing that you would survive a murder attempt, if it was coming, that was an entirely different thing. She looked up as the door bell rang. She walked up to the door, opening it, seeing Kirigiri stand there.
"Well… you sure have made a mess of things."
"I know" Kitty said sighing, letting Kirigiri in, closing the door behind her. "I made the mastermind angry huh?"
"Yes you did… and about the trick you pulled in the gymnasium… there was a lot of secrets there that was exposed."
"Well now everyone knows everyone's secret" Kitty said with a shrug. "Something has changed than if I had stayed silent. I had to try."
"Even with your dear Taeko?"
Kitty winched. "It wouldn't have been fair to the others if I had kept her secret too. Don't call her that though, she hates the name."
"Yeah, we gathered as much" Kirigiri said. "Things got heated up pretty fast, in between the people who thought their secrets wasn't a big deal against those who did. Asahina and Sakura quickly jumped to Fujisaki's side, as did Naegi, telling him that they were not in any way judging him for his choices. Fukawa was a mess, she went to sit in the corner, refusing to talk about Genocider at all… and then some dust must have gotten in her nose because suddenly she sneezed and… wow Genocider is quite the character."
"I can only imagine" Kitty said grinning. She remembered back to the first year when she had invited herself into Fukawa's room and found a scissor.
Fukawa had freaked out of course, told her that it wasn't safe… and then Kitty calmed her by applying the logic that she wasn't a guy, and that around me her, Fukawa could be safe. Helped out a little on her social skills, but not much.
Kirigiri sighed, bringing Kitty out of her thoughts. "Well, Genocider honed in on Togami of course, and he in turn turned to everyone and said that you were full of it and that there was no such thing as a comfortable Teddy bear, and then he bolted, Syo on his heels. Celeste cleared her throat gently, making sure that everyone heard her, telling everyone that if she ever heard them calling her anything but Celeste they would be in for a very miserable ride. And then she left. I joined her, I had no interest in what the others were doing or talking about, and Mondo and Ishimaru was yelling at each other again. So I walked out, Celeste saying bye to me as she walked up the stairs, she said she was going to get a book from the library before bed… since she needed some stimulation before getting sleep, and the week would be needed to be filled by books."
Kitty sighed. "Man I screwed up… she is so mad at me… but I don't see what I could have done different."
Kitty looked at Kirigiri. "Thank you for telling me this. It was kind of you."
"Not really… its payback and a little bit of a future investment. You are right in saying that you changed something when you told the secrets, but I am not sure you did enough to stop an attack. You needed to be ready in case we have to start investigating."
Kitty nodded. "You are right of course, thank you again Kirigiri."
The lilac haired girl gave a small nod, rising from her chair, just as the school bell rang.
Ahem, may I have your attention please. It's now 10 PM. Night time is now in effect. The cafeteria is now off limits and the door will be locked momentarily. And with that I wish you all good night. Sweet dreams.
"Well, that's that" Kitty said, opening her door. "Don't wander to far Kirigiri, I would hate to lose you."
"You too Kitty, have a good night."
"I wont… not alone. But it's my own fault."
Kitty smiled and closed the door, locking it in the process, chanting a few wishes.
"I wish that no one without permission can get in here. I wish that Celeste will not be victim of a murder attack. I wish that Kirigiri will not be a victim of a murder attack."
Kitty sighed. That would have to do it. Kitty smiled and took off her clothes, getting into bed, closing her eyes, feeling the coldness an empty bed meant, thinking of Celeste as she finally fell asleep.
