Hello again everyone,
I decided to write a new Danganronpa fanfic, but let you know i haven't forgot about my other fic.
For this story i thought of writing something related to the what-if scenario about Junko Enoshima being just a "normal" high school girl in a world without despair, while also in a relationship with our lucky protagonist. I know this interesting idea has been done several times, so I thought how about this time Junko isn't the one we know, but the other Junko?, also known as Junkuro or just "Junko" by this fandom. I really don't know if this scenario has been explored before but i'll give it a try.
And yes, I'm aware it was mostly an act by Mukuro, but i really enjoyed her free time and school mode events, not to mention she plays better the role of a fashionista despite it just being an act, and is even more attractive than her very own sister while in disguise, just my personal opinion :P
Enough talk, let's begin!
Memoirs of a Fashionista - Chronicles of a Soldier
Chapter I: My girlfriend is Junko Enoshima!?
Sometimes luck works in unexpected yet fascinating ways that could lead people to an unimaginable number of alternate scenarios, this is one of them.
A short teenage boy with spiky light brown hair was running through an alley while being chased by a group of five men around 30 to 40 years old of dubious appeareance wearing black suits.
"Come here you brat!" The leader of the group shouted.
"Why does this kind of things always happen to me!?" Exclaimed the young man blaming his bad luck after recalling the events that led to him being in that dire situation.
Makoto Naegi, the Ultimate Lucky Student was on his way to his date with his girlfriend before he suddenly found himself involved as a witness of a blackmail to a manager of a grocery story by members from the Kuzuryuu mafia, the most fearsome criminal group in all Japan, unluckly in the same exact moment he entered to the store to buy a soda. He tried to excuse himself and avoid a conflict but he had no other option but to run away.
After some minutes of trying to lose his persecutors through a series of alleys, the unlucky boy topped with a tall brick wall in front of him. The brunette already exhausted for having to run at full speed for a short distance tried to climb the wall but to no avail, lamenting his poor physical skills.
"You have nowhere to escape, little boy!"
"I-I swear I won't tell anyone!" Makoto nervously pleaded to the man as he approached him while having a malicious grin.
"Yeah, you won't tell anyone since we are going to send you to sleep with the fishes!" The yakuza threatened him with a sadistic tone while grabbing the sweating luckster by the neck of his hoodie.
"W-wait don't hurt me!" The poor boy feared for his integrity as he saw the man menancingly taking a sharp knife out from his pocket and placed it right on his cheek.
However, just before he could make a cut on Makoto's face, the criminal and his companions were interrupted by the sudden appearence of a beautiful young woman with blue eyes and huge blonde ponytails that flowed with a light breeze.
"Hey you bunch of thughs! Could you like stop hurting my bf?!" The girl with a sprink of freckles around her nose demanded angrily.
"Huh?! Who is this girl?" Asked dumbfounded the yakuza.
"Junko-san!" Makoto exclaimed in relief by the presence of his girlfriend.
"Wait… Junko Enoshima!? The famous Ultimate Fashionista!?"
The mafia leader reacted in shock after recognizing the supermodel which face was on the covers of magazines about fashion for teenage girls and young women, electronic banners, beauty products and all kind of publicity all over the whole country.
"Yep, that's me!" The pinkhead replied doing her signature peace and love pose while grinning mischievously.
"Hey honey, we were just having a nice talk with your boyfriend." One of the man tried to sound apologetic as he explained her.
"Well, it doesn't look like you are being friendly with him to me!" She replied frowning just as she placed both hands on her hips.
"Don't worry babe, we won't do anything to him so please wait for us until we finish our pending business with him, ok?"
"I won't leave until you return my sweet cinnamon roll to me." Junko spoke up with a firm voice causing Makoto to blush in shame for being called that way by his lover.
"You should mind your own business, okay princess?" The man said clearly annoyed by the model persistence.
"You first loser!"
"H-how did you called me?!" The man stuttered in rage after being mocked.
"Are like you deaf or just stupid?" The blonde bimbo questioned with her characteristic valley girl voice.
"I don't care if you are a celebrity! I'm gonna teach you to not mess with the Kuzuryuu mafia, you dumb bitch!"
The man furiously yelled before heading against the fashionista, clenching his right fist as he threw a punch which was easily dodged by Junko causing him to trip over himself and fall to the ground for surprise of his companions who got confused.
"You fools don't stare at me and make her pay for her humilliation!" Ordered the yakuza with dirt and blood on his mouth due to his fall to his subordinates.
Then three of the yakuza members took out their individual weapons: a dagger, a pair of brass knuckles, and a bokken, immediately surrounded the girl who just shrugged off with a confident grin. Instants later, and just as they tried to attack her at the same time. She jumped into the air and striked them with a powerful spin kick that sent them against some trash bins leaving them instantly unconscious and with a mark on their faces with her high heel boots.
Trying to take advantage, another man who took out a nunchaku sneaked from behind her and swung his weapon with the purpose of attacking her by surprise, only to get instantly grabbed it without effort by her without even turning back causing the man to react in panic by her incredible reflexes before being knocked immediately with a swift and precise chop right in the nape.
"If you move even one inch I'm blowing his brains out!" The leader of the yakuza yelled with a maniacal expression as he was now pointing a gun directly into Makoto's skull who got who nearly paralyzed with fear.
After the man threat, Junko's relaxed and calm expression turned cold and entered in a trance as if a switch got activated from inside her due to seeing her loved one life at risk.
"I'm now the one who is in charge now, you hear me bitch?!" The man loudly threatened her holding the gun with a finger on the trigger which made her to stop from taking any action against him.
"Good, now you are going to beg me for mercy or else I'll end both of you!". As soon as the man blinked and aimed his gun to her, in just a mere fraction of a second she launched herself with superhuman speed, grabbed his arm and with quick movement fractured his hand to disarm him.
The man screamed in complete pain for his injury but was quickly silenced by Junko with a hit of the handle from his gun that she took from him.
"Are you okay Mako-chan!?" The pinkette reacted from her trance worried if the boy of her affections was safe.
"Yeah… I'm okay!" Makoto sighed with total relief after believing for a second he was a goner.
"Well... I guess these losers won't cause any trouble in a long time!" Junko spoke after using the nunchaku to bind the five yakuza together with it.
After a brief interrogatory at the police station, the officers were in shock that a mere teenage girl managed to beat five dangerous yakuza members all by herself, but she explained them she practiced martial arts for some years to defend herself from creepy stalkers and to stay in shape so there were no more questions. Although both Makoto and Junko knew it wasn't really the case.
"I'm sorry for having you to save me again, Junko." Makoto deeply apologized to his sweetheart
"Don't worry Mako-chan! I'll always save you whenever you are in danger!" The charming girl exclaimed with a warm smile and a light blush on her cheeks that caused the luckster to feel grateful for having a girlfriend like the blonde although a bit upset for needing her help everytime he was in trouble.
"But geez you really have bad luck…" She sighed making Makoto to feel a bit embarassed while rubbing the back of his head.
"Well, anyways now let's begin our special date!"
The beautiful model who had a dark past as a former member of the feared paramilitary organization known as Fenrir and whose secret talent as the Ultimate Soldier was a total contrast to her personality, proceeded to joyfully hug his arm and press it against her small bust.
"W-wait Junko!" The flustered young man cried out as he was getting dragged by his grilfriend.
"How did me, Makoto Naegi, an average young man with nothing of remark managed to become the boyfriend of the world's most renowned youth model and who also happened to have a dark past as the Ultimate Soldier? Was it luck or was it... fate?"
Six months ago….
The life of Makoto Naegi was completely normal until a series of unexpected events utimately caused him to win the lottery to enroll in Hope Peak's Academy, the most prestigious school for the most talented students across Japan, earning the title of the 'Ultimate Lucky Student'.
As the weeks passed during his school life as a student from class 78th at Hope's Peak, Makoto's kindness and honesty helped him to develope bonds of friendship with most of his classmates, despite them being eccentric individuals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds and talents, making him the only 'normal' guy among his class.
One day, when the young man was looking for some books at the school's huge library for an academic project about the history of feudal Japan, a certain pink haired girl appeared before him asking for help with class notes and homeworks as her busy agenda as a model made her miss classes in a regular basis, and although they didn't knew each other well besides some brief talks because of the aforementioned circumstances, Makoto without a doubt agreed to help a fellow classmate in need.
During his conversation with Junko at the library, Makoto found out that she was more than your stereotypical spoiled bimbo girl who wouldn't ever think about becoming friends with an average guy like him since she was friendly and kind.
As Makoto helped Junko regularly with her school assignments and studying for exams during the days she could attend to class, the two engaged in lengthy and lively conversations involving all kind of topics like hobbies, popular trends, and even stories about their lives like Makoto's incidents involving his bad luck and Junko's time as a homeless girl. On the other side, even though the fashion diva loved to tease him because of his timid personality and small frame, she really enjoyed being around him due to his niceness and true kindness since he treated her without being interested in her looks or fame like most people around her did in order to become her "friends" so they could take advantage of her popularity as a celebrity.
After becoming good friends, Junko often teased him about his crush on Sayaka Maizono, since the supermodel also became a close friend of the blue haired singer due to their pretty similar careers, glamour, fashion sense and love for cute things. The charming model then had the idea of helping the luckster to confess his feelings to Sayaka by becoming his love counselour and matchmaker in order to get him together with the pop idol, who was a close friend of Makoto too, as both knew each other from junior high school, not to mention he was a big fan of her along his younger sister Komaru to the point of both being members of her loyal fan club known as 'Sayakers'.
Makoto and Sayaka then became closer to the point they hanged out together frequently. One day, the luckster finally decided to confess to her as he was ready to do it thanks to the encourage of Junko. Unfortunately for him, the Ultimate Pop Idol politely rejected Makoto explaining to him that she was already in a romantic relationship with his best friend and aspiring rock star Leon Kuwata, who despite his talent as a baseball player wanted to follow a career like Sayaka in the music industry making both to share their passion and love for music. This made Makoto to become heartbroken and depressed since then.
"Cheer up Makoto! Sayaka isn't the only woman in this world, you know that?" Junko scolded the short boy who was sitting on his chair looking at his desk on the classroom with a depressed look on his green eyes as his classmates were packing their things due to the classes just recently finished for the day.
"I get it… but I don't understand why she didn't told me about it before… " Makoto muttered with sorrow as he lifted up his sight to watch Sayaka smiling and blushing while holding hands with Leon as both abandoned the classroom.
Meanwhile, Junko who was observing the couple with attention, averted her blue eyes to the luckster and approached him as she folded her arms under her flat chest. "Hmm…" She mumbled while thinking what to do about Makoto's current situation.
"What is it, Enoshima-san?" A curious Makoto asked as he was wondering what she could have in mind this time.
"I have an idea!" The girl cheerfully exclaimed after thinking how to make her depressed friend feel better. "C'mon Makoto, let's go to the amusement park to have some fun so you can stop thinking about her!" Junko suggested him in order to lift up his spirits.
"W-wait Enoshima-san!" Makoto cried up as he was dragged along by the pinkette who wasn't going to take a 'no' for answer, making the luckster to not have another choice but to accompany her.
Both students then proceeded to go to the fair located in the city downtown where she invited the young man to ride together several park attractions including the rollercoaster called "The Titty Typhoon". The two then went to stall games such as shooting with air rifles to mobile targets where much to Makoto's surprise the girl ended up shooting down all the moving targets with easiness making her to win a giant stuffed white bunny as prize that she gave to Makoto, who decided to give it her back as a gift earning an unexpected peck on his cheek making his face to become completely red.
Finally, to keep their visit as a precious memory, Junko suggested Makoto take some selfies while doing all sorts of funny gestures together like sticking out their tongue, making "JoJo poses," as well doing her iconic Cheshire cat smile while making a sign of peace and love.
As days passed on, Makoto began to feel better about his love deception and something inside him changed as well. He began to felt attracted to Junko as being around her made him feel more nervous than usual, even more with her constant playful flirting and teasing. Although for him in terms of beauty Sayaka was still the number one in Hope's Peak even after her rejection, he began to look at the charismatic girl in a different light as he recently noticed she looked even more beautiful than before.
One day, Makoto decided to confess his feelings to Junko after classes.
"Wait! Enoshima-san!" The young man stopped the fashion girl after everyone left the classroom as she was just leaving after saying goodbye moments before to the luckster.
"What is it, Makoto?" Junko asked with interest as she placed her arms around her waist before leaning forward in front of him while unknowingly showing her cleavage. Makoto blushed as he noticed the shape of her small but round breasts hanging down, doing his best to avoid peeking at them.
"Umm... You know…." Makoto spoke with some hesitation while placing his right hand on the back of his head as Sayaka's rejection was still fresh on his mind. "These past weeks… I've been thinking that maybe i was too blinded by my feelings for Maizono-san that didn't allowed to see a girl who was by my side all this time and whom i spent a great time with, talking and knowing her, unaware that i developed an special feeling for her…"
Makoto then recalled how Junko was by his side cheering him and supporting him despite her busy agenda as a top model.
"Huh?" The girl asked confused as her eyes widened.
"I know it may sound weird since we are good friends… But would you like to go out with me, Enoshima-san?" Makoto proposed with embarassment to the pink haired model who reacted with surprise at first, but few instants later her expression changed to a thoughtful one while looking unsure of what to respond to him, as if she was experiencing an internal conflict within her.
"Crap… she's going to reject me too." The young man thought as he blamed his bad luck with the ladies.
"I-i'm sorry Enoshima-san! i should've known since we belong to very different worlds…" The young man tried to apologize ahead of her rejection.
"Ahahahaha!" The snarky girl let out a sounded laughter. "Like i dont care about any of that, ya dummy!" She exclaimed.
"R-really?" Makoto asked confused.
"You really are a cute and nice guy who became friends with me not just because of my beauty and fame. Of course i'd like to become your girlfriend!" Junko cheerfully expressed as a light shade of red appeared on her cheeks and the area around her nose where her freckles were located.
"You obviously have proved to me that you are more than a 'Omega male' by showing courage to ask me out, so that's another plus in my book."
"T-thanks i guess…" The brunette told, unsure if what Junko said was a compliment.
"Well, as you already know i'm a very spoiled girl, so you have to invite me regularly to fancy dates and buy me all kinds of expensive presents and stuff at every chance, alright?" Junko nonchalantly told as she winked at him while doing a mischievous smile, causing Makoto to let out a sigh as he thought that maybe he commited a terrible mistake since he didn't earn any income yet to please a girl of her status.
"Hehehe, just kidding about buying me expensive presents!" Junko gleefully reassured to her boyfriend.
"Enoshima-san…" The young man victim of the snarky comment of the beautiful girl sighed with relief.
Despite maintaining her usual charming and cheeky attitude. Junko did his best to hide her happiness, as her heart was beating like crazy because she felt the same way about Makoto, as he was the first boy to ever confess to her without implying mere physical attraction or other kind of intentions with her. After becoming good friends and spending time with him, she often looked at him from afar with a warm look in her eyes and a blush on her cheeks without realizing that she was falling deeply in love with him. Junko also experienced jealousy every time Maizono showed signs of affection towards the lucky boy which led her to question herself and deny that it wasn't the case since she did not want to ruin her friendship with both so she would support Makoto to be happy with the famous pop idol, however Makoto's failed confession and subsequent depression led her to decide to encourage him but without taking advantage of it, however she did not expect Makoto to confess his feelings openly to her.
"Well, now that we're a couple, I'm going to give your first reward~" Junko said with a sweet voice while giving Makoto an affectionate kiss on the cheek before leaving the classroom.
"Woah..." Makoto expressed while blushing after the sudden action of his now girlfriend.
Some days later….
The shocking news through social media about the Ultimate Fashion Girl dating an average guy spread like a wildfire not only in Hope Peak Academy, but in the whole country.
"So annoying!" The young girl exclaimed with frustration as she waved her arms in the air recalling how both were followed by papparazzis everytime they went on dates, Makoto for his part, could feel the jealous and incredulous stares from Junko's fans who questioned how did such a guy with nothing remarkable about him managed to conquer the heart of a beauty like her.
"Like why does the media and strangers should really care about who am i dating?!" She asked with clear annoyance in her voice.
"Well… i suppose it's because of our different backgrounds, since you know I'm just a normal guy and you're not only Japan's top model, but also one of the most renowned youth models in the whole world…." Makoto spoke as he scratched his cheek.
"Geez! Makoto you already know that I couldn't give less than a flying fuck for the lame opinions on social media about my relationship with you, since you are the boy i love and that's what matters to me!"
"I guess you are right Enoshima-san…" The chestnut whispered with embarrasment in his voice causing his sweetheart to tell him about how cute he looked when he blushed.
"E-enoshima-san!" The Ultimate Lucky Student protested even more embarrassed than before making Junko to giggle.
"Hey Makoto, I've told you to call me by my first name now that we are a couple, you also have to show more confidence! You are my beloved afterall!" The young woman with big ponytails proclaimed with a light blush on her cheeks before smiling at him making him feel more confident about their relationship.
The two then went to a cafetería where Junko enjoyed a delicious strawberry milkshake, meanwhile Makoto ordered a chocolate chips flavored ice cream.
After that, both walked through the streets of the downtown while holding hands, Makoto felt butterflies in the stomach as he was holding hands in a romantic way with a girl for the first time, same as Junko, who despite her charming attitude and dazzling looks, the luckster was her first boyfriend. As they continued their way to a shopping store, the couple managed to hear people whispering all kind of rumors and gossip about their relationship but decided to not paid attention to them.
While going back to the school campus, a group of young men around their early 20's aboard a luxurious sport car that was parked next to them directed their attention to the couple.
"Junko is surely going out with him because of a publicity stunt to show people that even a loser like him could aspire to date a beautiful supermodel." One of the young men with blonde hair and expensive sunglasses commented loudly in a despectful tone.
"Of course, since not even in his wildest dreams a guy like him could ever be with such a gorgeous and charming girl like Junko-chan!" Another of the young men seconded his partner.
"Yeah, that must be it, Ultimate Lucky Student my ass!" A third one supported his friends.
"Oh my gosh, are you guys for real?!" Junko furiously interrupted the men as she couldn't ignore any longer their comments about her relationship with Makoto.
"Calm down Junko-chan! We were just discussing that you deserve a lot better than that lame small guy. "And you guys are just superfluous assholes, you knew that!?" The freckled girl spoke up in anger as she walked with loud steps causing the men to flinch for a second.
"As one of your loyal followers i know you are just doing this for a campaign of making losers like him truly believe they can date hot girls like you."
"And you surely bought out that crap from social media, right!? She angrily questioned her supposed fan. "What if i'm dating him because he is a lot better and nicer than assholes like the three of you!?" Junko spoke up even more annoyed.
"Don't pay attention to their words, Enoshima-san." Makoto suggested to his lover trying to defuse the tense situation but with no avail.
"Attractive girls like you are meant to be with wealthy and handsome guys like me so why don't you come with me and my friends and leave this loser once and for all?"
"Like mind your own business, okay Mr-i-am-a-loser!?" The teenage model exclaimed as she frowned completely angered by the man's proposal.
"Enoshima-san, just ignore them!" Makoto desesperately tried his best to calm down the angry fashionista who was so riled up she ignored him once again much to his dismay.
"What did you say to me, you foulmouthed bitch?" The leader of the bunch furiously replied to the blue-eyed gal.
"You heard me you jerk!" Junko yelled to him before walking towards the man with her hands on her hips while facing him.
"I had enough of you! You're going coming with us even if you don't want, to show you we are real men!" The young man gingered up after being provoked.
"Hey! You're hurting me!" Junko protested in pain as the blonde tightly held her right arm. "Let me go you bastard!" The girl yelled to the hostile man as he proceeded to drag her towards his car against her will.
"You heard her, let her go right now!"
A determined Makoto decided to not let anyone hurt and take away his girl, stood infront of the man with a brave attitude and a on despite the clear height difference.
"Or else what, you shrimp?" The man asked while his friends surrounded Makoto who despite being outnumbered, didn't flinched or let himself to be intimidated.
"Makoto is going to be in trouble because of my fault…" The blue eyed said in her mind as she decided to get into action before being interrupted by a deep voice behind them.
"Any problems with my friends?" A towering figure of around two meters of pure muscle asked as it stood behind the young men with a scary aura.
"Huh? N-no we don't want any troubles!" The three stammered in unison as they turned around to see an intimidating bulky woman wearing a sailor uniform looking at them with a serious glare causing the group of men to ran away to their sports car in fear.
"Are you two okay, miss Enoshima, Naegi-san?" Asked Sakura Oogami, the Ultimate Martial Artist to the young couple.
"I guess so... Thanks Oogami-san." Makoto answered in relief.
"Those guys were such bullies!" Aoi Asahina, the Ultimate Swimmer exclaimed as she appeared from behind the bulky fighter.
"Like yeah, what a bunch of lame cowards!" Junko seconded the voluptuous swimmer.
"By the way, Oogami-san, Asahina-san. What are you two doing here?" Naegi asked to both girls for their sudden appearance.
"We came to look for a gift for Kenshiro, and to buy donuts, right Sakura-san? Hina told to her best friend who nodded in embarassment as she lowered her head to avoid her friends to watch her blush because of her friend words about her lover and rival.
"Wow, even Sakura-san has a shy side when it comes to love!" The luckster thought surprised.
"Oh, that's really cute Sakura!" Junko commented while doing a wide smile.
"Well, i guess it's time for us to leave Hina. Miss Enoshima, Naegi-san, take care." Sakura said still feeling a bit embarassed.
"See ya' later!" The cheeky girl said waved her hand saying goodbye to both girls before parting ways.
"Thank you for standing for me against those jerkasses who tried to take me by force, Makoto."
"Oh, it's nothing..." The boy said with modesty.
"You were so manly back then, you should be more like it~" The gyaru playfully complimented her boyfriend before giving him a kiss on the cheek causing him to blush.
At Hope Peaks Academy campus…
As the sun was beginning to fall behind the horizon, the couple decided to part ways after Makoto accompanied Junko in front of the female dormitory, however in that moment they observed a man wearing a working overalls running towards them at full speed.
"Stop right there!" A security guard from the campus shouted as the man was running away from him.
"Move out of my way!" The man yelled as he collided with Makoto causing both to fall to the ground.
In that moment an small object the size of a pen dropped from his pocket without him noticing
"Hey! Watch out where you go, you fool!" Junko yelled at the man who continued to ran away as she helped her beloved to get up.
"Are you okay, Makoto?"
"Yeah, thanks Junko."
Instanst later, Makoto spotted a small object next to him.
"Sir, you dropped this!" Makoto told to the man who stood up and kept on running as he was chased by security guards until he was out from sight, so he decided to keep it in case he met the man again.
As both said goodbye to each other a warm expression and a light shade of pink appeared on Junko's cheeks as her huge twintails flowed with the wind, making Makoto realize he was lucky about having such a sweet and beautiful girlfriend.
After going in his room to rest after a long and exhausting date with his upbeat girlfriend Makoto recalled he kept the device that resembled a USB memory the man dropped.
"Huh? What's this?"
Makoto proceeded to inspect said device which had the logo of Hope's Peak Academy, he then noticed it had on it's surface the following words: 'PROJECT K'
"Project K? What could it mean? Oh well, i guess i'll check it for later". The brown haired yawned as he put it back in his pocket before going to sleep, unaware that said device would bring a series of events that were going to unfold in Hope's Peak Academy.
What twists and revelations awaits as the fashionista and the luckster face together as they discover HPA's darkest secrets?
See you next chapter.
