Hopes Peak Orphans Chapter Three

(Daiya's POV)

What is going on in here I ask all the kids all quieting down and getting off one another before I can continue my questioning, I see Oogami Asahina and Fugisaki coming down the hallway Fujisaki's hair being damp, and she is wrapped in a warm coat clearly fresh from a bath Oogami notices my presence and comes to take the shopping

Welcome home Daiya I assume you had a pleasant day she says to me I can always rely on Oogami to keep the others in line but there is only so much she can do walking into the kitchen however she slips on water sending a glare in the direction of Mondo and Ishimaru I thought I told the two of you to clean this up Mondo lowers his head in shame while Ishimaru steps in trying to explain to Sakura what happened but she was having none of it when you heard the argument going on you should have come get me and I would have handled it she says and sighs I know you were only trying to do the right thing Ishimaru but next time try not to make such a disappointing mistake Ishimaru bows down

I apologize Oogami I will definitely make a better judgement next time he states before dragging Mondo into the kitchen to finish the job they had started as Sakura starts cleaning the salad material for dinner while the others start to scatter going in different direction all but Asahina

Excuse me Daiya she asks politely one thing I've always loved about Hina is her politeness

Yes, Aoi is there a problem she shakes her head before replying

No, I just wanted to ask who's the new kid she points at Naegi who has stayed well hidden behind my legs

Get the others to the living room and I'll explain there I tell her which she runs off to do I'd much rather explain this to all of them at once so I don't have to repeat myself I walk into the kitchen to help Mondo and Ishimaru clean up the water while Sakura is now chopping vegetables and putting them into a salad bowl I also see Chihiro at the table typing away at some kind of code once the water is clean I take the towels down to the laundry and throw them into the machine I walk back to the living room seeing everyone present minus Naegi now where is he I look into the hallway and find him cuddled in a corner where I left him come on little guy I'll introduce you to the others

But I'm nervous what if I say something stupid and they all hate me he asks me

Don't worry that won't happen now come on he slowly gets up and takes my hand as I walk him to the living room to meet the others everyone this is Makoto Naegi, and he will be joining our family come on little guy don't be shy they won't bite except maybe Celes over there she sends me a glare in which I just laugh Ishimaru than stands up and walks over to Naegi

It is a pleasure to have a new friend amongst us and I hope you will start to think of this as your home and us as your friends he says with his hand out hopping Naegi will shake it which he eventually does although hesitantly I am Kiyotaka Ishimaru, and I am delighted to meet you he introduces himself

It's nice to meet you too he says a little more comfortable this is going well so far then Togami opens his mouth to speak, and I realise I spoke too soon

I won't bother learning your name or face because you aren't important anyways and I'd rather not waste my time with you come Fukawa we have better things to do he states before walking off I facepalm at how completely uninviting Togami is although I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at this point

That's Byakuya Togami and the girl following him is Toko Fukawa you be best to stay away from him I tell Naegi he isn't a very friendly person and starts a lot of drama around here Naegi looks down a look of disappointment on his face

Oh, I see why was he so mean though I didn't do anything to upset him did I he asks me, and I honestly don't know how to answer his question Togami never was the nicest person, but he didn't need to be so mean to Naegi I may need to have a word with him later

Like I said it's just best to stay away from him he'll tear you down whenever he gets a chance okay, I respond to him to which he gives me a sad sure and its honestly hard to watch sensing the tension in the air Sakura steps forward to introduce herself

Greeting Naegi it's a pleasure to meet you I am Sakura Oogami if you require assistance never be afraid to ask me, she says with confidence which initially intimidates Naegi, but he slowly reaches out to shake Sakura's hand

Sakura here is the oldest here so whenever I'm not around she's in charge I tell him to which he nods in understanding as I continue with introductions you've already meet Ishimaru he enforces rules around here follow the rules and he won't give you a hard time he shudders a bit after I finish Ishimaru's Introduction next to walk over is Hifumi

So, then Naegi may I ask you do you like manga he asks him

I mean not really, he states shyly

Well don't worry while you're here I'll teach you all you need to know he states proudly

That's Hifumi he's a talented drawer he's a little strange but he's harmless I tell Naegi who started smiling a bit things are starting to work out no one else makes a move to introduce themselves so I decide to speed things along a bit then Kyoko steps forward

Greetings Naegi I'm Kirigiri nice to meet she says her voice remaining neutral then she walked away

That's Kyoko Kirigiri she's our residence peacekeeper but trust me she can be scary when she wants to be she comes from a long line of detectives and can tell when people are lying to her, I tell him he blushes a bit before turning his head the others obviously oblivious to it but I know for a fact he has a crush on her Junko then moved towards him he grows very uncomfortable with her presence which honesty is no surprise to me

I'm the depairful Junko and here is my strangely undespairing sister Mukuro she introduces herself and Mukuro Naegi continues to shuffle uncomfortably around Junko

Nice to meet you he says with his head down Junko gives him a look that I've never seen before and it's making me even more worried than I already am Asahina is the next to step forward

Greeting Naegi I'm Aoi Asahina but I prefer to be called Hina she introduces herself

Hina is the most Cheerful person here and will always put a smile on your face I tell him turning to Celeste next That's Celestia Ludenberg she's the troublemaker here she also a very cruel Prankster I warn him, and Celes gives me a glare

I'll have you know I am very refined she tells him she always had this high mighty personality, but I know in reality she's just hiding her insecurities she loathes being normal and wants to stand out its her way of making sure people will remember who she is

Yes of course alright let's see over there is Sayaka she's also very cheerful and she's also a pretty good singer I introduce them and Sayaka steps forward

yep, I'll take you later and show some of my favourite songs okay, so this is going better also I happen to be a psychic this shocks Naegi

wow really then she smirks before giving her signature

kidding I just have really good girls' intuition I will never understand Sayaka's little routine, but it never ceases to amuse her Leon is the next to introduce himself

Sup I'm Leon Kuwata and I'm gonna be a rock Musician

Leon along with Hina have been here longer than anyone he knows the ins and outs so he's someone else you can go to if you have any questions he nods before I continue introductions the guy with the poofy hair is Yasuhiro Hagakure

Hey little dude I'm sure we'll get to know each other quite well Hiro hugs Naegi whiles he seems uncomfortable he doesn't fight the embrace which is a good sign I then look at Mondo and give a silent instruction

Hey, I'm Mondo Oowada don't be afraid to come to me with any problems if you can't find anyone else, he also left his hand out for Naegi to shake but a hint of realism hit Naegi

Wait isn't you last name Oowada too I nod

Mondo's my Brother he's actually part of the reason I opened Hopes Peak Orphanage I explain to him before Looking at Chihiro and lastly we have Chihiro Fugisaki she's the youngest here also just to warn you Mondo is very protective of her but she's incredibly intelligent Makoto walked over to her and held out his hand to her which she took and with introductions done I make my way back to the kitchen to begin dinner with the assistance of Sakura while the other get to know Naegi all in all the introductions didn't go all to bad Daiya just hoped things stayed Peaceful with Naegi around before he came back to his senses and realized things weren't peaceful to begin with but at least they were happy and that's what mattered most.
