First off, many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the current story arc picks up where the last chapter left, in which after two chapters where Togami had recurring nightmares, the plot thickens as he gets kidnapped and the Togami family will slowly get in a situation the moment that the heir went missing, but something will happen that would affect the characters in this story arc, especially Naegi, so read on and enjoy!
At an unspecified location the scene shows that a person, covered in silhouette, is picking up his cellphone, and is answering a call from someone, and there the caller told the unseen person that the assignment has been carried out and there were no problems so far, and the unseen person grinned seeing that everything is working out according to plan and is now preparing to commence the next step of the operation and is expecting that things would go smoothly without problems or complications, confident that his plans would push through without a hitch.
"So...how are things...?"
"It went better than expected..."
"Good. And the target?"
"He is with us...sedated..."
"Good. Proceed to the next phase..."
"Very well..."
"Good."
"Over and out."
After that, the unseen mastermind outs down the phone, and is holding a notebook containing some information, and is now seen talking to another unseen person and is giving him instructions on what he would do in the next couple of days.
Ch. 61: Onzōshi no Henkaku
At Hope's Peak Academy, the scene shifts to the classroom where the Class of 78 is there, and they noted that Togami is seemingly absent, and while the others wondered what made him decide not to attend, some, such as Asahina, assume that Togami may be sick, but Yamada speculated that perhaps he is probably suffering from MENTAL STRESS due to his portrayed fear of the manga character that a schoolmate offered to him last week, which Celes supported, seeing that Togami is starting to have a phobia towards the now popular manga character, CAPTAIN GONZO.
"Oh dear...I think Togami-kun is having a phobia...if you know what I mean..."
"Hmm...you may be right, Celes-dono...it appears that Togami-dono is afraid of getting the manga shoved to his face..."
"I know, right?"
"Yes...you are right..."
"What if we pay a visit to his home...?"
"And surprise him with the Captain Gonzo manga?"
"Yeah! That way he'll fain from fear!"
"That's a good idea!"
Asahina chided Yamada and Celes for their comments saying that it is not nice to make fun of their classmate which Ohgami agrees, but Ohwada said that Togami can be a pain sometimes because of his attitude, and believes that maybe karma has gotten to the Scion, but then Ishimaru urged his classmates not to make unnecessary comments towards their classmates and wait for him to arrive, but as several minutes passed, the teacher arrived and the first subject commences, and the Class of 78 noticed that Togami has not arrived, and are unaware that he had been kidnapped, and as he hours passed, it was lunchtime and the class are now wondering what has happened to the Scion as he never skip an attendance before.
"See? Togami-dono is absent..."
"I think he really intended to avoid the schoolmate just to stay away from that manga..."
"Hey! don't be like that!"
"Still...I find it strange that Togami is absent..."
"Maybe he's sick?"
"If he is, then his parents should have called..."
"I wonder what happened to him..."
"Yeah..."
Naegi wondered about it as well, but felt that maybe Togami is not feeling well and decided to stay silent and not make a comment, thinking that maybe Togami is taking a day off and since he is not wearing the red suit, he couldn't sense that Togami is in danger and hence he is unaware of the fact that Togami had been kidnapped, and by then lunchtime ended and the second half of the day commences and everyone went to their seats as the teacher arrived and classes begin.
By the end of the day, dismissal arrived and everyone left the academy, and Naegi is walking home and is joined by Maizono, and the two began talking while walking and they discussed about what just occurred and she is rather worried that Togami is suspecting Naegi of being the SUPER GUY, which Naegi hoped that Togami didn't figure out, as he knows that Togami had developed a fear and irritation towards the him when wearing the red suit.
"Yeah...you're right...it'd be a problem if Togami finds out that i'm the SUPER GUY..."
"Then you should be mindful of the area you are in if you decided to change, Naegi-kun..."
"I know, Maizono-san..."
"But still..."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine..."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Okay..."
By then they arrived at a street where Naegi and Maizono decided to take separate paths as they lived in different houses, and both bid goodbye as they went on their way, and neither noticed that several people, mostly idol fans, saw them talking and they suspected that there is something going on between the two classmates and began posting their comments on social media, such as twitter and instagram, which soon spread like wildfire, and many comments flooded the internet after seeing the photo of Naegi and Maizono walking together.
"Is that..?"
"That's Sayaka's boyfriend?"
"He looks plain..."
"What a boring guy..."
"He's cute..."
"Why would she hook up with an ordinary boy..."
"Maybe she has a thing for cute boys..."
"What's the boy's name...?"

DAY 2.
At the Togami mansion, the scene shows that the Togami patriarch is rather showing concern that his son has not arrived home, and did not get a reply nor was he able to reach him though cellphone, and he ordered his servants to try and find places where his son would frequently hang out, and the servants did so and they left the mansion and started searching for the heir, and the patriarch had to leave for office and is hoping that he would get news on the whereabouts of his son, and wondered why his son would not come home, and refused to believe that something may have been wrong with him, unaware that his son had already been abducted by someone.
His butler, Aloysius, believe that the young master may have some internal problem and attributed it to stress that has plagued him recently which the patriarch refused to accept, stubbornly believing that his son is not capable of that.
"But sir..."
"Silence! Byakuya is not like that! He is the heir and he would never get stressed like that!"
"You saw what happened to him recently..."
"He is the heir of my company...I trained him to be superior to others...he would never stoop that low!"
"Sir...I don't think that's..."
"When I find Byakuya...I'll see to it that he will know his tole and know his place!"
"Seriously, sir..."
"Silence!"
The patriarch leaves the mansion while Aloysius sighed while shaking his head, as he believes that the young master may have been plagued by stress and wanted to escape, and he believes that the young master will come home tonight and hoped that things would end well in a good night, not knowing that problems will escalate in the next 24 hours from this point on.
At Hope's Peak Academy, the Class of 78 noticed that Togami is not present and they all started to believe that Togami is sick, and Naegi wondered what has happened to him, and Yamada foolishly assumed that Togami BROKE DOWN, which Celes supported the theory.
"Hmm...I say Togami-dono has broken down..."
"I know, right?"
"Yes...you are right..."
"Togami-kun is scared of that manga..."
"I sure like to the the look on his face..."
"Me too..."
"Let's visit his house?"
"Sure...and bring the manga with us..."
Ishimaru stood up and reprimanded Yamada and Celes for their foolish comment and said that Togami can't be absent because of that and said that once Togami shows up at the academy, they will ask him what went on, and the rest joined in on the discussion though Kirigiri is mum on the subject as she felt it is not her place to say anything though she did show some concern about Togami suspecting Naegi of being the SUPER GUY, and until Togami appears and make another accusation towards Naegj, she will not make a move for now.
By then a teacher arrived and classes began, and as the day went on, classes finally ended and everyone went home, some of the classmates are wondering if Togami would come to class the next day or not, in which Hagakure made a prediction that Togami would appear, but in a DIFFERENT LIGHT, which the others scoffed at Hagakire's prediction.

DAY 3.
At the Togami mansion, the Togami patriarch is now alarmed, and he now suspected that his son has been kidnapped and ordered his chauffeur to get ready, as he is going to the police station to report the incident, and Aloysius is somewhat concerned that the young master has not arrived in three days and is worried for the young heir's well being and soon the Togami mansion staff is scrambling on what to do now they realized that the young master is suspected to have been kidnapped and the patriarch gave Aloysius specific instructions on what to do while he is out of the mansion.
"...and that's the instruction..."
"Yes, sir..."
"And call me if there are any developments..."
"Yes, sir..."
"Keep everyone on alert..."
"Yes..."
"Call the police if needed..."
"Yes, sir..."
Aloysius nodded after hearing the instructions and soon the patriarch leaves the mansion and is heading to the police station to report about the missing person and soon the patriarch arrived at the police station and spoke to the police captain about what happened and the captain listened attentively at what the Togami patriarch said, and he asks him if Togami had any friends as he believed that the heir may have spend some days staying at a friend's house, which the patriarch denies as he believes his son wouldn't do that given his duties as the heir of the Togami family.
"...suppose your son stayed at a friend's house..."
"Impossible!"
"Sir..."
"My son is the heir! He will not stoop so low like hanging out at a commoner's place!"
"Calm yourself..."
"I will not accept this!"
"Sir...we will look for him...but please..."
"Find him at once!"
The police captain then told the Togami patriarch that he and his team will look into it and said that there may be a chance that Togami may have done this to escape reality for a time given the stress he got recently and said that he will notify him if he is found, and the patriarch sighed in acknowledgement and has no choice but to wait, as he wants nothing more than having his son found.

DAY 8.
Several days have passed, and there has been no word yet about Byakuya Togami, and the Class of 78 is starting to show concern about their classmate as they have no idea about what really happened to him, and Yamada is starting to slightly regret making fun on Togami, while Naegi is wondering if Togami is sick or not, and Kirigiri is wondering if Togami's absence has anything to do about his suspicions toward Naegi, and the rest are considering paying a visit to their absent classmate which a debate took place inside their classroom.
"Should we visit his house?"
"Yeah!"
"I'm in!"
"He's our classmate, after all!"
"Let's see what his house is like!"
"And get some food!"
"Calm yourselves!"
"Yeah!"
However, before the class could reach a vote, the teacher arrived and told the class to take their seats and prepare for an oral recitation, which the class realized that they have an oral recitation and they are scrambling to prepare themselves as the points would be crucial in getting a higher grade in their report cards and the teacher began calling the students one by one, and he noted that Togami is still absent and asks if they know what happened to him, in which the class said that they gave no idea what happened to him.
"We don't know..."
"We have no idea..."
"We were voting on visiting his house..."
"We intend to do that..."
"Really?"
"Yes, sensei..."
"..."
"..."
The teacher sighed and yet he opted to move on and proceeded to have the oral recitation and called the students at random and the called student stood up, holding a book and began the oral recitation as he teacher and the other students listened on.

DAY 21
The scene shifts to he principal's office at Hope's Peak Academy, and there Jin Kirigiri is talking with his daughter in which they are discussing about Togami's absence, and the two are now considering to either call Togami's home or pay him a personal visit as Togami has been absent for about three weeks and this is a cause for a concern as they haven't heard anything from him and his continued absence may affecting his academic standings, and Kirigiri is in agreement in either calling Togami's home or paying him a visit at his mansion.
"I'm sorry to ask you of this, Kyoko..."
"Not at all, dad...I think it's time we make our move..."
"Are you going to call Togami's home?"
"I'm considering it...but I think it would be better to pay him a visit at his home...his family did not even call you about Toghami's absence...so I would suspect that..."
"I see..."
"Will you let me do my thing?"
"Very well, Kyoko...but be careful..."
"I will..."
By then, the phone rang and Jin answered it, where the caller is revealed to be Togami's father, and there he told Jin the reason why Togami is absent from Hope's Peak Academy, revealing that his son had been missing and is believed to be abducted, and told Jin that he will inform him if and when the Scion is found, which Jin accepted, and the call ended. Jin then told his daughter who the caller is and said to her the circumstances on why Togami has been absent, and Kirigiri stood still and began thinking, wondering if she should consider investigating this, but Jin said that the police would handle this and she reluctantly accepted.

THREE DAYS LATER...
The scene shifts to the Togami mansion and the servants and the Togami patriarch are still awaiting news on where his son is and where is he being held, and he is starting to get irritated that the situation has caused him a bout of stress and he is sure to give his son a mouthful of sermon once he gets back home, and Aloysius did not like how the patriarch is thinking of himself and not showing genuine concern for the young master and he tries to calm him down, with little success.
"Sir..."
"Silence, Aloysius..."
"Surely there must be a reason for this..."
"Byakuya brought shame to me...and even caused trouble that would taint the family name..."
"Sir! We don't know what happened to the young master! What if he really is abducted and..."
"That's why he brought shame to us! He is the heir, and he should know how to defend himself and not let anyone abduct him!"
"Sir! You're too..."
"Silencer, I say!"
By then the door opened and the staff and servants stood in shock and silence as someone stepped inside, and the Togami patriarch and Aloysius glance at the person who came in, and they were shocked as well as they saw who came in, and they stared in a mixture of shock and disbelief. It was Byakuya, and Byakuya greeted everyone inside the mansion.
"I'm home."
Byakuya Togami appeared to be fine and unharmed, however, he is now OBESE, and is holding a leg piece of a fried chicken, and this was indeed a shock to the Togami family as he reappeared after nearly a month of going missing, and Togami remained as he is, snobbish, confident, and feeling superior, while looking down on others.
