Chapter 3

After that statement, there was a lot of arguing. It was mostly one-sided on Leon's part. He was shouting at Makoto angrily.

"Are you out of your mind?! I know for a fact I'm not into guys! I've always been into chicks! You're just messing with me, that's all! THE Leon Kuwata does NOT date guys! You're out of your mind!"

"Well, there's one way to find out..." Everyone turned to Mukuro. she had a dvd in her hands, along with the notes.

A little bit later, everyone had filed into the av room, everyone taking a monitor. Mukuro popped the dvd into the monitor up front, then went to work on editting some sort of video. It was an hour before she finsihed.

"If I followed these notes correctly, then instead of erasing your memories, this should now restore them. I rewrote the data on this disc." Using a box of blanks she found in the office, she copied the dvd, then handed one to everyone but Makoto. The two them stood in the back, watching the students. It wasn't long before gasps of surprise, shock and fear sounded around them with tears falling from their eyes. Everyone pulled off their headphones and looked at eachother.

"I...I remember...! We were all classmates! We were all friends! this is amazing! Let us rejoice and celebrate, my fellow classmates!" The others laughed at taka's enthusiasm. Everyone except Leon. Sayaka had tears in her eyes and quickly looked over at him. He had his face burried in his arms against the monitor, with tears streaking down to the floor. sayaka quickly got up and grabbed his shoulders, pulling him back so he was forced to look up.

"Leon...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...!" She hugged him tightly. He returned the hug.

"It's ok, Sayaka...I forgive you...I...I just hope you can forgive me for breaking your heart...I have to find him..."

"Huh? Leon, Kazuichi is dead...Class 77-B...They died, remember?"

"Um...Actually...They didn't..." Sayaka turned to face Chihiro.

"What do you mean? The bombs..."

"After we locked ourselves in here, Leon and I used my laptop to see what was happening to the world...We learned about a group called Ultimate Despair, and...It's them...Class 77-B is alive..." Everyone gasped. They couldn't believe it. How did they survive? As f to answer their questions, Leon pulled off his headphones and stood up.

"It was Junko...She brainwashed them...She made them fake their deaths...She ruined everything..." His body began shaking with rage. he clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles began to turn white.

"She took Kazu away from me...She ruined his life...Turned him into a damn fucking psychopath!" He screamed. Before anyone could stop him, he slammed a fist into the monitor, smashing it. Mukuro looked away guiltily.

"I'm sorry, Leon...For my inolvement..I wanted to help my sister spread despair..." Leon shook his head.

"I'm not angry with you, Mukuro...You helped us remember...You gave us our memories back...But I have to find him...I have to save him..." He turned on his heel, starting to leave. Makoto grabbed his arm.

"Leon, wait! You an't go out there alone!" Leon just looked at him.

"Don't try and stop me...I have to do this...Besides, no one's gonna kill me that easily! I'll follow the news and find him I'm sure he remembers me! Best of luck guys!" With a wave, he ran off, heading into the world.
