And here the third chapter.
I just thought how intense these two interaction would be if they meet.
So here we are.
Enjoy.
Shuichi Saihara and Kotoko Utsugi in...A hero in black.
Shuichi wasn't sure how he got here, but he was glad Kokichi screw him over for once.
If he hadn't, he wouldn't be here, holding a crying child in his arm.
Apparently one of the teachers said they will be 'gentle' with the PE class today since most of the students weren't feeling well today and she freak out.
When no one could calm her down, one of the students ran out of the classroom and ran into Shuichi, who was chasing after Kokichi around then and lost track of him.
After a moment of talking to the kid and finding out the problem on why he ran out of his class in a hurry, he rush to the class and saw the little girl know as Kotoko Utsugi was having a break down.
Shuichi wasn't sure what to do at first, but after over hearing the teachers trying to work out a solution by talking what was going and learn she started freaking out by the word 'gentle'.
Shuichi quickly deduce her freak out is connected to some sort of drama related the word 'gentle' and was hesitant of thinking of what it could be.
But he push those thoughts to the back of his mind and strode forward.
He push past the teachers trying to stop him and stop in front of a shivering Kotoko and sat down in front of her.
He gulp as he brought her into a hug and started to speak, hoping what he going to say was the correct course of action.
"It done. No one will be gentle here. You don't have to worry about anyone doing anything. There no gentle touch or any form of it here. Your safe and away from everything." Shuichi said with a calming voice.
The girl started to stop shivering and slowing regaining her breathing.
"Shh, no more. It done. Everything is done. There no one here to be gentle to you." Shuichi said softly.
Kotoko stop and just started crying her eyes out, begging Shuichi to not let anyone touch her again.
Shuichi frown at those words and just calming and smoothly as possible, he rub her back.
"No one will touch you again. I promise." Shuichi said with the calmest voice possible.
The teachers sigh in relive and the students stood slack-jaw at Shuichi calming down their classmates so easily.
"Is there anywhere she could rest? I need to speak with the Headmaster now." Shuichi ask the teachers, who flinch at Shuichi cold stare at them.
"Y-yes. We have a nap room next door." One of the teachers answer.
"Good. Take me there and bring the Headmaster to me. It very important I speak with him. I will need his help for what I'm about to do." Shuichi said as he calming lifted Kotoko in the air, who was now clenching his cloths pretty hard in fear and walk out of the room with the teacher.
Once Shuichi got into the room, he was worry about placing her on the bed, worry he may trigger something again if he did.
Shuichi look around and smile as he saw a small couch and nodded to himself.
'That a small couch, perfect for her size and I doubt anyone big enough could fit in it.' Shuichi thought as he walk over and place her down gently on the couch.
Shuichi made the movement of leaving, but his sleeves was held on tightly.
"Please...Please don't leave me alone...Just stay with me til it over." Kotoko said with a quivering voice.
Shuichi simple smile and sat down on the floor.
"Don't worry. I won't leave. I'll stay as long as you want me too." Shuichi said kindly as he made himself comfortable and waited.
The two sat in silent for a while.
Shuichi notice Kotoko was breathing easier now and was asleep now.
Shuichi made no movement of leaving and waited for the Headmaster.
'I will need to ask for his help and permission on Kotoko background information. If what I think is happening is correct, then I will need every possible leverage for court I can get.' Shuichi thought as he try to think of what he will need to do for this new case he found.
He need to help her. No matter what it takes.
"Hello? Did someone call for me? I heard one of the students had a breakdown and was here." A man ask as he step into the room.
But first, he need to convince the headmaster for his help.
...Would threatening him with his daughter angry work if he can't get him agree right away do it?
(A few days later)
Shuichi was holding a crying Kotoko in his arms as her parents were found guilty and taken away.
Shuichi comfort her the best could, but he found it hard to do so.
He not surprise though, despite everything, she really did love her mom.
And her mother, in her own twisted way, really care for her daughter. She just did it in the wrong way.
But, with everything that came to light, she will be place in a mental help get better in time.
He know she could be save.
It a matter of when really.
"Come on Kotoko. We need to go. We will pick up your belongings before we head toward the house. We can get whatever you want to eat on the way there." Shuichi said as he rub her back, trying to ease the sobs as she refuse to let go of him.
It was decided after much debate and Truth Bullets, he manage to convince the judge of giving him custody over Kotoko.
He still need to do some paperwork before he can safely say he adopted her, but he was sure she will be safe.
The headmaster was kind of enough to lean Shuichi a small house that wasn't use in years.
He told him it was his old house his wife and him use when she was pregnant and marry.
Shuichi didn't want to use it at first, but he knew it. His dorms wouldn't allow Kotoko to move in with him and Kotoko needed some space to grow and move on from her pain.
Kotoko made no move to get out of Shuichi hold, so Shuichi pick her up, being careful to not drop her and hold her inapproably and started his way out of the Courtroom.
It took a while for HSuichi to get to the house Kotoko was raise in, but he manage to get there in record time and walk in with his spare key to the place that Kotoko gave him.
He walk in and grimace at how messy it was.
He pretty some of the stains on the floor wasn't food or drinks and it made his blood boil.
He took a deep breath and went to Kotoko room and sat her down on the bed.
"Okay, let start gather your belongings to take with us. There will be people coming later to pick up the shelfs, bed, desk and others thing here, so we should focus solely on spares cloths, toys and whatever you feel is important to you to bring. I will buy us anything at a later time if I need to." Shuichi said kindly, thankful his parents left him tons of money he never really spents on anything.
He was pretty sure he could buy ten apartments and still have enough money to buy a house.
So, he was good on the money, but budgeting is still a thing.
Kotoko smile slightly as she gather her things with Shuichi help.
In about thirty minutes, they pack three bags of cloths, toys and Kotoko treasures items.
They left the house with Kotoko taking one last look of it and sigh.
(Hours later)
Shuichi was asleep on the couch as Kotoko was on his chest with a blanket over them.
Kotoko was awake, but was just staring at Shuichi face as he sleep.
'He save me. He manage to not only expose my parents crimes, but he also took me in and gave me a new home. I wonder why.' Kotoko thought as she stare at Shuichi face, hoping an answer would appear if she stare long enough.
'Could he be one of those heroes I read in the stories books in the library?" Kotoko thought as she poke Shuichi cheeks a little, making hims squirm a little.
'But heroes usually wear white right? Oh hey that rhymes a little.' Kotoko thought with a slight giggle.
'Maybe he a special hero! Like a hero only born to save me.' Kotoko thought with a gleeful smile.
Kotoko snuggles into Shuichi chest, listing the heartbeat of her hero.
"Thank you. Thank you for saving me Mr Hero." Kotoko whisper as the heart beat lull her to sleep.
"...Your welcome." A voice said as her world went dark as she fell asleep.
And done!
I hope you enjoy this chapter as I wanted to do another cast who I feel like needed more love.
And before anyone ask, I did said we will do the CAST of Danganronpa. So of course she will be in a chapter.
Anyway, leave a review on who should be next and tell me where I should improve on.
See ya!
PS, if this chapter get enough request, I will do a part two of this one where she all grown up and a teenager with Shuichi as an adult.
