LEON'S POV
"Man, it's been like two weeks and Junko hasn't done anything," I said while rocking in my chair.
"Th-That means she's pl-planning something bi-big." Fukawa became a hot mess these past few weeks. "Wh-Why did you humiliate her da-dammit?!"
"It doesn't matter for the last time." Kirigiri rolled her eyes. "I had more important thing to deal with. I got the information I wanted from Junko."
"Bu-But to leave mid-sentence! That's something yo-you don't do!" Fukawa glared at the relatively new chick.
"If you say so..." Kirigiri gave her one more look before turning around to Makoto. "Mr. Kizakura isn't here, so what should we do?"
"I don't know." I thought it was pretty obvious that Makoto liked the new girl. "Asahina said she wanted to show us something."
"I wonder what it is?" Chihiro walked over to them. "Sakura, do you know?"
"No...Asahina simply told me to bring enough water for the class." Sakura answered solemnly as she just finished putting a shit ton of water bottles in an ice cooler.
"It is weird that she is the only one absent right now," Ishimaru mentioned as he finished taking attendance. "I shall hunt her down and bring her to class!"
"How? You're just a student?" I scoffed. "Where do you even know to start?"
"Her house, of course!" Ishimaru held up the attendance book. "I have her home address, as all of you!"
"What the hell?" I rocked back too far and fell on the ground. I got up and scratched my head. "How the hell do you find that out?"
"As one of the chosen class directors, I got your address directly from the principal, himself."
"Well, I'm definitely moving the next time I get the chance." Asahina sighed while caring ten cases of donuts. "Sorry, I'm late. I got so excited that I overslept."
"Th-That doesn't make sense." I sweatdropped. Mondo and Ishimaru helped her with the boxes. "What's with all the donuts?"
"Nine of boxes are for me, and the rest are for the kids."
"What kids, Asahina?" Sakura stared at the swimmer with intense.
"I sorta signed us to take care of some elementary kids."She nervously chuckled. "Don't worry! Only five of us have to watch them."
"I guess that's not bad. When are they coming?" I asked.
"We've been here the whole time." said a short boy with blue hair. "Honestly, are blind or just stupid?"
"Oh come on Nagisa," A girl with pink ponytails poked his cheek. "It's not that bad. He might actually be blind or mentally retarded. OR! He might be both! The horror!"
Am I really being berated by a group of nine-year-olds?
"Okay...who's going with who?" Asahina awkwardly coughed. "Did you guys want to choose?"
"Monaca was given a box filled with names from the very nice Mr. Principal." The girl in the wheelchair cheered with a brown box in her tiny hands.
"That will work! Please, each of you draws a name!" Ishimaru demanded. "I pray that one of you picks me!"
"The chances of that is very low." Nagisa scoffed. "Who's Kirigiri Kyoko?"
"That would be me." Kirigiri raised her hand for a moment. She walked over to the small blue haired boy to shake his hand. "It's nice to meet you, Nagisa was it?"
"Yes, at least, you seem to be somewhat competent."
"I can say the same thing."
"You two are gonna be a bag full of fun." I rolled my eyes. "Who's next?"
"OOOO! I will! Kotoko Utsugi, the Lil Ultimate Drama, is ready!" The pink haired girl stuck her hand in the box. "Asahina Aoi?"
"Hey, that's me!" Asahina smiled.
"Yay! I got Big Tits!" she cheered.
"Wh-What was that?" The Ultimate Swimmer shuddered at the name.
"That's an interesting nickname." Celeste snickered.
"Should you really be saying something like that?" Kirigiri questioned.
"But it's true. She has the biggest bust in the class, possibly in the whole wide world." Kotoko gasped.
"I'm not sure. There are certainly some women who pay to enhance their bust size." Nagisa countered. "She could be one of those types of people."
"He-Hey! I would never do something like that!" Asahina snapped back.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter whether they're real or fake. Guys love anything that's big." Kotoko's smiled looked so innocent compared to what she was saying.
"Let's keep going." Kirigiri sighed. "Who's next?"
"Hey, how can y'all forget about your leader!" A short red headed boys pushed his way through his classmates. " Daimon Masaru's right here!"
"Wow, he was quiet for five minutes." Kotoko looked her watch in shock. "That's a new record."
"You know I'm all about breaking records! Now, who's the lucky enough to be with me!" Daimon shoved his hand in the box with too much force. "Leon Kuwata!" Shit...I didn't want to stuck with him.
"Yay me." I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, it's a sausage party!"
"What the fuck did you just say?"
"Language Leon!" Ishimaru shouted. "There are children present!"
"Don't look at me like I'm the immoral one. He's the one that said it gonna be a sausage party!"
"There is nothing wrong with having a sausage-themed party!"
"Are you hearing yourself?!"
"Perfectly in fact!"
"Ishi," Mondo shook his head in disappointment. "I'll explain what a sausage party is later, just cool it."
"This is your only warning Leon," Ishimaru said before sitting back down.
"Okay...let's keep this going. Monaca is the last one right?" I asked.
"No, Jataro is here," Nagisa mentioned. Kotoko and Nagisa stepped to the side and reveal a little kid with a brown mask on his face. "He's a bit quiet."
"And very strange," Kotoko added.
"Hey, that's not a nice thing to say." Asahina huffed. "He's standing right next to you too."
"Eh, it's alright." Nagisa shrugged. "Jataro is known for spacing out. He can't really hear anything while he's like that."
"How long does this usually last?" Kirigiri asked.
"At least thirty minutes. The record is two days."
"Two days, I guess we can leave him with someone until he snaps out of his daze." Kirigiri pulled a slip of paper out of the box. "Celeste, you're responsible for him."
"You heard her Yamada." The Ultimate Gambler smiled.
"No, Celeste, the paper says your name, so you have to stay with him."
"What exactly is the consequence if I fail to do so?"
"The back has a punishment." Kirigiri turned the paper. "You have to have a full day lecture with Ishimaru about the history of My Little Ponies."
"What? Who made that rule?!" Celeste snapped.
"The principal I assume. Each of the slips must have a punishment."
"What? Wait, Daimon, what does mine say?" I sat up in my seat.
"Um...You gotta practice with Nekomaru. Who's Nekomaru?"
"Ugh...crap." I sunk in my seat. "He's gonna run me til I'm nothing."
"I might as well tell you what your punishment is." Nagisa sighed. "Kirigiri's punishment is a day without your gloves. That's a rather simple one."
"I will make that man pay," Kirigiri growled for a moment.
"Big Tit's punishment is a month without donuts, and if you're caught eating any, it's an hour workout with Sakura and Nekomaru," Kotoko stated. "Wow, Nekomaru must be one tough cookie to be mentioned twice."
"You have no idea." Asahina and I sighed.
"So, that just leaves Monaca." Kirigiri brought our attention back to her.
"Yay Monaca's turn!" The wheelchair girl cheered. "I got Junko Enoshima!"
"Sorry kid, but Junko isn't here." Mondo broke it to her. "I don't why her name is even in there in the first place really."
"Bu-But Mona-Monaca pulled her name." She started tearing up. "I-Is Monaca not-go-good enough."
"NO. No, Junko rarely comes to class." I explained. "Why don't you just pull another name?"
"Bu-But Monaca pulled Jun-Junko Enoshima." Monaca bust out a stream of tears. "I WANT BIG SIS JUNKO!"
"Jesus! Ikusaba, don't you have her number or something?" I covered my ears.
"Hang on," Ikusaba called her sister. "Hey, Junko... I need you to come to class... I know you don't like coming to class... We're spending the day with some elementary kids and... one of them drew your name and they really want to hang... I don't think a kid has that kind of money... Junko, can you make-"
"I got this." Kirigiri took the cellphone from her. "Hello? Junko, are you really that busy that you can spend a couple of hour with a little girl? That's just pathetic."
She hung up on the Elite and handed the phone back to her.
"5...4...3...2..."
"BITCH, DO YOU WANT TO SEE MOTHERFUCKING JESUS!?" Junko barged in, completely red in the face.
"Here you go Monaca, this is Junko Enoshima."
"Yay! Monaca finally met Junko! Monaca is so happy!" Monaca tried to hug her, but Junko pushed the wheelchair away.
"Whose kids are these?" Junko huffed, probably stilled pissed at Kirigiri. Man, that girl is a riot.
"We have names for your information." Nagisa coughed.
"Yeah yeah, whatever you say, kid." Junko yawned. "Where's Kirigiri?"
"I'm here, and you're going to help show these kids around." Kirigiri stepped forward.
"Ha, and I'm the Prime Minster of England." Junko rolled her eyes.
"Hahaha! Big Sis Junko is so funny!" Monaca smiled. "Mr. Principal gave you a special punishment. If you don't participate, Mr. Principal will announce to the whole wide that you're actually bald at one point of your career and -"
"Let me stop you right there, Money was it?"
"Monaca."
"I said that, Moxie."
"Monaca."
"Morgan."
"Monaca.
"Molly."
"MON-A-CA!"
"MOR-GI-A-NA!"
"You're trifling, Junko." Kirigiri sighed. "They're only here for a day. You honestly can not be so self-absorbed that you neglect a child, one in a wheelchair no less."
"What if I am?"
"Why are we arguing with the horrible person?" Nagisa exclaimed. "She doesn't care, so why are we wasting our precious time on the like of her?"
"Whose kid is this? He needs a spanking because he's rude as hell." Junko screamed as if his parents were supposed to appear suddenly.
"Nagisa's right," Kirigiri admitted. "Where's the first place you wish to go today?"
"Somewhere preferably quiet," he glanced at Junko. "And away from the likes of her."
"That's reasonable. I know where the public library is." Kirigiri followed him out the classroom.
"Wait, Kirigiri's doing the chaperoning shit?" Junko's interest was peaked. "What are we waiting on, Monique? Let's get this party started!"
Like a madman, Junko pushed Monaca out the classroom at her highest speed possible. We all stared at the skid marks those two left.
"Um...we should've let Monaca pick another person." Chihiro sighed. "Who knows what Junko is going to do to her?"
"Now now Chihiro, let us have faith in Junko." Celeste patted him on the back. "She might be a hazard to many. Surely, that does not include Monaca."
"She's fucked." Mondo and I looked at each other.
"Language!" Ishimaru shouted again. This is gonna be a long day.
NAGISA'S POV
"Can you please explain to me why she is coming with us?" I sighed.
"Don't be like that Nagisa." Monaca laughed. "Big Sis Junko is a great person."
"Yeah, Morty's right." Junko held her head up high. "I am a responsible and respectable member of society."
"That's a stretch." I scoffed. At least, we will be in a library, so she won't be talking much.
"Hey!"
"He has a point. For the things, I heard; you might very well be a menace to society." Kirigiri commented just as we entered the library.
"I resent that comment," Junko growled.
"Then prove me wrong. You have to do it is watch Monaca like your life depends on it."
"Your life is gonna depend on it..." Junko muttered darkly as they went over to the children's side of the library. So childish...
"Do you know where the mystery section is?" I asked Kirigiri.
"Mystery section? I know every book there like the back of my hand." Kirigiri raised her eyebrow. "Why that section though?"
"It's simple really. I want to enter Hope's Peak as the Ultimate Detective. There hasn't been one, yet mysteries are the easiest things to solve."
"Because mysteries are like pieces of a puzzle that have been scattered across a room, it's your jobs a detective find all the pieces and assemble them correctly."
"Exactly, how did-" I was shell-shocked. Kirigiri became eye level with me and whispered a surprising secret in my ear. When she was finished telling me everything, Kirigiri got up from the floor. "Yo-You're-"
"Yes, but I want you to keep it a secret. You're only one besides the principal and the teachers that know."
"Why doesn't your classmates know?"
"Then, the whole thing would be jeopardized. You can't tell anyone about this, including your classmates."
"I-I understand." I nodded slowly.
"Now, then, let's look at these books." Kirigiri turned to the bookshelf. "You know. You could help me with it?"
"REALLY?" I shouted in excitement before clamping my hand over my mouth.
"Yes, I could teach you a thing or two while I'm at it."
THUD!
"What was that?" I turned to the sound.
"That was a pretty loud sound."
THUD!
THUD!
"What could it be?"
THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
"There's only one thing in a library that can make a sound that loud." Kirigiri quickly deducted. She gasped. "Nagisa run."
"What? Why?"
THUD!
THUD!
The bookshelf in front of us slowly began to fall down, with us underneath it. I was too shock to move. The fear of dying paralyzed my whole body and mind. I'm going to crushed to death. Move body move! Right before the bookshelf could collapse on top me. I felt something move me, something external. The next thing I know is that I'm sitting on the floor of the library with the bookcase no longer above me. In fact, the whole bookcase didn't collapse on the next one like dominos. All the chaos simply stopped.
I looked around for the cause, but I didn't find anyone, not even Kirigiri. Wait! Kirigiri! I tossed book after book from the rubble, desperately trying to find her. No! No! NO! Where is she?!
"There's Nagisa!" A girl with freckles shouted. A superhuman like person followed behind her. "Are you okay?"
"Who cares about me? Kirigiri's still in there!"
"Kirigiri? What the hell happened?" The freckled girl asked.
"Who cares about that? Kirigiri's still in there!"
"I will handle this." The superhuman said in a serious tone. With one hand, She lifted the bookshelf off of the purple haired girl. I saw Kirigiri in a position similar to Sisyphus, the man forced to carry a boulder up a hill for eternity. She slowly rose and brushed the dust off of her skirt.
"Thank you, Sakura." Kirigiri noticed her. "May I ask you are here?"
"I didn't feel right leaving you at the hands of Junko." The freckled girl answered. "Sakura and I followed you four here after you left."
"I'm grateful for that. I wasn't sure how long I could hold that bookshelf." Kirigiri looked at me and smiled. She pulled a handkerchief out of her jacket. "You'll need this."
"Huh?" I touched my face. I looked at my hand. Am I crying? But why? I reluctantly took the napkin like material and cleaned my face. "I see you made it safely, but I have a question."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Why did you save me?"
"I don't need a reason to be a good person. You were in danger, and I had the chance to save you. That's all there is to it."
I couldn't find the word to describe the emotions I was feeling. Is it gratitude or something different? I never felt this feeling before, not even from my own parents. They're more like a video game fanatics than parents. Is this the family love I use to read about? No, that's not possible. We're not even blood-related. I need to stop. I have to stay logical.
"How about we go somewhere else?" Kirigiri suggested. "Is there anywhere else you want to go Nagisa?"
"Anywhere that's far away from here is fine," I grunted, closing off my emotions again. Kirigiri smiled once more before walking out with Freckles and Sakura. Even though I know your secret, I can't get this question out my head. Who exactly are you Kirigiri Kyoko?
A/N: When you genuinely forget about the chapter you wrote a month ago and you're too lazy to finish writing the class trial for another s- I mean what? You heard nothing. I admit nothing. So, I decided everyone in the Dangan Ronpa universe has a chance to appear in this story. I mean Junko isn't all despair, so the kids should have a chance to have a nice childhood- well as best as possible. I hope you liked this chapter. Please review! Kotoko, Jataro, and Daimon are next!
