Notes: Can't believe I spent so much time improving my last chapter and only now getting started on this one. This chapter is really a Part 2 of "Gambling Jester" and conclusion.
So happy that I finally start making this story into reality, and 8 chapters in too! :) Anyways on with the chapter.
(Continue scene on when the sleepwalking Junko Enoshima with a real royal crown on her head saunters out of Celestia's room with her new "scepter" and "loot" but in reality she's holding a window rod she pulled off it's a soap bar and shampoo and Mukuro follows close behind her to continue her watch.)
Junko: "...zzz...thanks for your tribute...Demon Witch..and your chocolate, it was...delicious"
She mutters to an unconscious Celes before finally leaving the gambler's dorm room with her "scepter" (Celes window rod she tore off her curtains) along with her personal crown on her head and continues down the halls of Hope Peak in the middle of the night.
Oddly enough Junko stole a red mini washcloth and two soap bars, why she would is anybody's guess, only Junko herself would have the answer, at least while under this sleepy state she's still in until she actually wakes up.
As Mukuro follows behind Junko, wishing to guide her back to her own bed, though Junko refused to budge as Mukuro gently tries to turn her sister the other way. She's confused by her sister's inaction before she resumed moving forward through the halls until she stops and turns right to go upstairs to the 4th floor.
"Junko, you really must fall back to your bedroom, it's too early to keep pestering everyone" Mukuro says to her still slumbering sister, who was still climbing the stairs.
"...my bedroom?...no, no bedroom Muki… I, the Queen of Despairrr~...must (yawns) present these rubies I've taken from the witch to my two loyal subjects, they rightfully earned them… for loyalty..to their Queen." Junko states when she got to the 4th floor and began saunter down another hall.
This time the girls rooms here belong to their upper-class men of the 77th class.
Junko just kept moving forward until she stops at a certain classmates door, a pixelated image of someone she and Mukuro knew too well.
"Mikan Tsumiki".
Junko?
"Upupu~… my 2nd favorite loyal subject… my faithful... nurse" Junko slurs out gravelly.
" 2nd Loyal subject huh?" In reality Junko's only "loyal subjects" would be herself, Mikan and probably that Ultimate Cos player Tsumigi Shirogane of the 79th class even.
"Well looks like the night's only getting worse from here it seems" Mukuro says, damage control and protection duty at full ready.
Junko began knocking (or banged) on Tsumiki's door with her new 'scepter' for a bit until she opens it
Thunk. Thunk. Thunk.
Not long before the door opens when Tsumiki responds to the noise from her door and she was of course rather stumped to seeing the sisters Junko and her double in the middle of the night, still in their sleepwear and with Junko's hair let down and barefoot around the girls dorm.
Huh? J-Junko-San? Mukuro-san? why are you here so early, you too Ikusaba-san? you're both clearly aware of what time it is now right?" Mikan asked clearly confused by the late night 'visit'.
"...Mikan...my Mikan...zzz..." Junko says in a slowly yet oddly sweet way, even for a sleepwalker but that doesn't make the teenage nurse blush any less red.
J-Junko-chan..., I mean you know I'm always happy to see you but again it's rather early for either
"Trust us Tsumiki, we're more than well aware of the time. Well, I'm well aware of it but currently my little sister isn't in the right state of mind to really realize that" said Ikusaba matter-of-factly.
""Uh, Junko's 'right' state of mind-oh? Then I-I take it that she's actually... sleepwalking? The evidence is clear by the fact that you and her are here at the fourth floor in your pajamas at 4 in the morning and that Enoshima still has her long blonde hair down and completely loose from her usual twin pigtails, something that's gravelly out of character for Enoshima to reveal lest it's her new style
Mukuro looked legitimately surprised Tsumiki saw the situation quicker than she expected. "Actually, yes she's walking in her sleep". for only the sixth time in a row' she thought but wouldn't tell Tsumiki that.
Tsumiki responds rather quickly to this "Huh, s-shocked that I figured it out already? I-I mean it's not that surprising to say that Junko of all people would have some...quirks she'd possess with her very eccentric and quirky nature. Honestly there's no one who could ever know what's in your younger twin's head but despite what I've just said, for her to be a sleepwalker of all things, and from the looks of her a very severe one is still quite unexpected sleep disorder, but then again 'unexpected' sounds just like Enoshima-san right?
Yeah, I supposed so" said Ikusaba, her eyes narrowing with suspicion at how Mikan could quickly know about her sister's condition.
zzz...Mi..kan...my Mikan, your Queen has arrived" slurs before sluggishly waltzing inside her room, Tsumiki showed little to no resistance when Junko walks inside.
O-Oh well, Alright come on in then I-I suppose, both of you. Mikan nervously says.
"Zzz~..." Junko sluggishly walks past Tsumiki and into her dorm room until she stops near Tsumiki's dresser, she looks at the bag she's carrying on her right hand.
Mikan looks over the still slumbering blonde and slowly approaches her as best she can "It's truly strange seeing Junko like this, she just acts so...careless. It's still Enoshima obviously, but when she's asleep like this she's almost... not so terrifying." She tried to deduce
"Well once more in the fire, you're wrong about my little sister" Mukuro corrected
"Zzz~...Tsumiki as my..loyal healer, for your selfless devotion to me I humbly decided to (yawns loudly) reward you...handsomely." Sleepy Junko says, very lazily still under her dream-like haze as she searches the plastic .
Tsumiki stared with both confusion and curiosity, with her medical knowledge she already knew sleepwalking is still an unusual sleep disorder caused in certain people in the way they will perform very unusual and bizarre things since their minds are are under heavy sleep influence acting out their 'episodes'. But seeing it in person was always a whole other story with how differently they'll act.
Especially when it's the Ultimate Fashionista, her underclassman of all people who's doing it.
'Sleepy Junko' lazily grabs something from her plastic bag to reveal one of the crimson red soaps she looted from Celes (the "Demon Witch" in her dream world). She looked towards Mikan with light blue eyes half closed and an oblivious smile.
Zzz~...So I...hereby declare...that you be...zzz...rewarded with this...precious (yawns, rubs left eye) blood ruby, which was taken from...the lair of... the demonic witch. so spend it...wisely...you... precious healing mage, you." Junko slowly said as she extends her arm to hand over the soap bar to Tsumiki, which she hesitantly takes out of her hand.
"Do-do I need to know who this Demon witch is?" Tsumiki asked carelessly while mildly concerned and timid.
No you really don't said Mukuro in her usual cold, stoic tone getting the Nurse to drop the subject.
Oh, okay if you insist" Mikan finishes, she doesn't really believe her but accept the lie in order to avoid Mukuro's wrath. Her attention focuses on Junko as she's still continuing her "announcement".
...and so, may you remember...this generosity from me and...continue to serve...mmm...your Queen of Despair well...zzz~. Junko slurs before she stumbles to Tsumiki's face, giving her a cute yet dopey smile seconds before she plants her lips onto hers. Mikan stood with a shocked expression her eyes wide as saucers at the moment. Mukuro reacted with none other than a raised eyebrow though her stony expression was still on.
The kiss came off rather sloppy on both ends, Junko's since the blonde was well, still asleep so shince she wasn't really aware of what she's doing in reality, there was no pressure or edicit in the kiss.
Endnotes: Yeah, sorry about this being short for now, been busy editing this and my other fics, for now just giving you a taste of what I have in store for later in this story. So Yeah looks like the Ultimate Nurse will have a minor role in this story after all, along with another student that I will reveal another time. Hope to peak your curiosity at least a bit.
