11:50pm
Kyoko and Naegi flash into the dark hallway and look around to see that no one was nearby. Nightfall there wouldn't be too many people lurking except for the security guards with their flashlights.
"We made it..." replies Naegi astounded in disbelief.
"Yeah...we should hurry and get out of here" replies Kyoko as she begins to walk with the time machine in her hand.
"Kyoko...thanks for saving me" replies Naegi. Kyoko stopped in her tracks and turns around to look at Naegi.
"I'm just glad you're safe" replies Kyoko smiling.
"I know I can complicate things sometimes but...I really got to be careful; I was close to being compromised by them" replies Naegi scratching the back of his head worried slightly.
"Well...the main directory now...is to stay hidden...however you seem to not do that task when suspicion gets the better of you on something" replies Kyoko slightly irritated.
"Well suppose that's true but...I'm sorry" replies Naegi. Kyoko sighs and turns around to walk away from him.
"There's something you should know, we got more ally's on our side now that are willing to help us" replies Kyoko as Naegi walks beside her.
"Huh?! Who?" asks Naegi a bit surprised.
"Chisa Yukizome the homeroom teacher of class 77 and Juzo Sakakura the security guard at Hope's Peak" replies Kyoko
"And we can trust them not to tell anyone else?" asks Naegi.
"They'll keep it low profile, no need to worry about it" replies Kyoko.
"I got to worry about it, this could jeopardise the mission if they do something about reporting this to the public" replies Naegi.
"I highly doubt that they will decide to make that call...besides who would believe them in the first place?" asks Kyoko seriously.
"Well, uh er..." replies Naegi putting his one finger to his chin pondering in thought lost.
"Exactly, because no one would believe them; they almost didn't believe me but I showed them that we can use time travel...so that would be the only way" replies Kyoko.
"You sure that was wise Kyoko?" asks Naegi seriously.
"...Surprised that you're not angry with me yet...suppose your maturing" replies Kyoko.
"Listen, I may have gotten angry before but I've learned to take things one step at a time, otherwise I'd be spinning in circles..." replies Naegi
"Indeed, you have been doing that a lot in the past...or the future" replies Kyoko slightly giggling.
"Its hard to know at this point haha" laughs Naegi.
Kyoko tells Naegi the rest of her experience with using the time machine to save him before they departed ways for the night. Overall, Kyoko was happy that she was able to keep the wheels set in motion; although what they didn't know is the Ultimate Despair is beginning to start the tragedy sooner than they think.
Sunday, December 26th 2010.
8:00am
The next day, Kyoko went to meet with Juzo the security guard and talk to him about something that was on her mind for a little while. She meets him by back of the gym doors and waits for him.
To: Juzo
I'm here by the back of the gym doors.
From: Kyoko
She messaged him last night before she went to sleep and arranged to meet him early in the morning. However, Naegi is still sleeping at this time and knew he wouldn't bother her. She needed some space for her own time, as much as she wants to help him; she knew instinctively that she likes to surround herself into mysteries alone at times; otherwise her cloud of judgement would be off.
"So why did you call me all the way over here? It better be important, detective" replies Juzo.
"...Tell me, would you be able to give me access to the restricted section?" asks Kyoko as she walks a bit closer to him.
"I dunno, its not that easy and what are you planning to do?" asks Juzo a bit sceptical.
"I want to research a little bit about the experiment they have on file, I believe there it will lead me to a clue about this predicament" replies Kyoko placing her fingers on her chin pondering in thought.
As far as Kyoko tried to investigate through documents that her father lets her have access to; she couldn't find anything about the experiment. However, asking a security guard on her side would probably know more places to obtain information that you cannot get elsewhere.
"...Jeez, well I know Chisa has a card but I can't get anymore...they are hard to come by in this school...I'll ask her to see if you can use it" replies Juzo
"Sure, tell her to meet me in the Library...I'll be there for awhile" replies Kyoko walking away.
"Uh...Okay" replies Juzo ending his sentence with irritation as Kyoko went into the school doors freezing leaving him by himself.
"That detective really pisses me off sometimes" replies Juzo gritting his teeth.
(South District)
10Am
Ryota Mitarai was following Junko Enoshima as she was holding a big box with his anime stuff inside; she was smiling devilishly as they were getting closer to the old statue monument.
"How much further, Junko?" asks Ryota getting a little tired. He wasn't used to be outside as the sun was bright in his face but knew that he wouldn't need to worry about that for long.
"Be patient, I'm on the verge of showing the greatest little hide out that you will ever see!" cries Junko like a child.
"Uh, okay then" replies Ryota not having too much of a choice.
Once they reach the statue, she pushes a button and it begins to open and as Ryota opens his eyes in shock; she looks at him bored.
"Come on' this isn't it" replies Junko heading inside.
"W-wait Junko!" cries Ryota catching up to her feeling anxious without having time to think about making a rational decision.
10:17am
(Outside of the Shed)
Naegi was still yawning as he was wearing his light grey winter coat with fur around the hood. He then worries about where Kyoko would be and decides to text her.
To Kyoko:
Hey Kyoko, where are you at?
From: Igean
He begins to walk away from the shed and decides to take a jog around the track so he could think in his thoughts for a little bit.
'I'm truthfully thankful that Kyoko has been on my side...she really is a strong deep person that loves to uncover truth but...I've been lying to her for this long about her father...if I keep doing this I'm going to regret it later...I got to tell her today...but I really don't know how she's going to react...then again I would know better than anyone...since that last class trail we all had to face to uncover the truth about the mastermind...'
Naegi begins to leave the track and looks at his phone to check the time. It was 10:29am and Kyoko didn't reply back to him yet.
"Maybe she's busy or still asleep" replies Naegi to himself placing the phone back in his formal pants pocket.
10:30am
(Library New Building)
Meanwhile, Kyoko was studying in the library about different skills to use when coming across criminals who are very anonymous. It was in the crime section and the books was called "Anonymous Criminals".
Kyoko didn't hear her phone go off as she kept it on silent for the time being because she didn't want to talk to Naegi right now. Soon she hears a knock at the door and a person comes in.
"Kyoko...it's Chisa" replies Chisa making her way closer to Kyoko.
Kyoko puts the book down and looks up at Chisa sternly.
"I'm entrusting this to you...I hope you can find what you're looking for" replies Chisa
She passes to Kyoko and then Kyoko places it in her uniform upper chest pocket.
"Thanks, I believe this will really help" replies Kyoko smiling lightly.
"Definitely! Make sure to go at night though, but I probably don't have to tell you that hahaha" replies Chisa laughing anxiously.
Kyoko looks back at her book and nods.
"Well I'll contact you if I need anything else or know any new information" replies Kyoko.
"Alright, see you later then! Hope you can crack this case! I'm positive you will" replies Chisa exiting the room.
Time passes as it reaches to evening and Naegi didn't want to really lurk around the school too much today since he knew his classmates could end up anywhere. So he decided to leave school grounds getting the idea that Kyoko wasn't wanting to be bothered right now. Naegi felt that maybe he put too much stress on Kyoko and she needed a break.
Naegi checks his phone as he was on the city bus heading back from Towa City as he went to go see a movie earlier. As much as Naegi needs to save the future, he also needs a break at some point to recover mentally from all the stress.
6:34pm was the time as he hears the automated bus speaker talk saying what the next stop was as they passed important destination stop routes.
+NEXT STOP TOWA RIVER+
'I'm going to call her once I get off the bus...I just need to find out when were going to meet next' thought Naegi agreeing to this conclusion after thinking about it all day.
+NEXT STOP HOPE'S PEAK ACADEMY+
Naegi pulls the string and gets off the bus saying thank-you to the bus driver and takes out his phone to give Kyoko a call.
6:47pm
Meanwhile, Kyoko was eating at the cafeteria with some of the classmates from her class and some other students from class 77. She listens to them talk as she was eating and then hears her phone vibrate as she changed the setting a few hours ago.
She saw it was from IGEAN calling on the caller ID and she decided not to answer it.
(Same Time)
Naegi hears Kyoko's voicemail on the line and he decides to leave her a message.
"Kyoko, call me when you get this" replies Naegi then ending his message.
He sighs thinking about where he's going to go now, he began to wonder if they were really going to stop Junko Enoshima after him being here for 3 months; he thinks about this as he walks past the main gates. He bumps into a tall security guard in front of him and looks at him a bit furious.
"Excuse me! Show me your ID before you continue through here!" exclaims a security guard.
"Huh? Ah well..." replies Naegi getting a bit nervous.
"Listen! I can't let you pass if you don't have an ID card" replies the security guard.
"Wait! I forgot to bring it with me, its back at my dorm" cries Naegi
"It doesn't matter, you should of known the rules when you arrived here at Hope's Peak..." replies the security guard as Naegi looks down at the ground frowning and slightly shocked with his mouth open.
"You'll have to contact the school then or-" the security guard was then interrupted by a deep voice from behind him.
"Let him through" replies Juzo the head of the security department.
"What?! But sir he doesn't have his ID-" cries the panicked security guard.
"He's from Class 78, I'm allowing him access" replies Juzo.
"O-okay" replies the security guard moving out of Naegi's way hesitantly.
Juzo looks at Naegi a bit irritated with him but he then smiles.
"Follow me" replies Juzo.
"I'll take him back to the school, besides it is already dark out" replies Juzo knowing very well that staff members have been gone missing.
"Sure Sir! I'll keep watch out here" replies the tall security guard.
They begin to walk together down the stone pavement pathway leading to the doors way in the distance and Juzo begins to talk.
"I'm Juzo Sakakura, you must be Makoto Naegi" he replies.
"Y-yeah, I suppose you know everything of what's going on" replies Naegi bluntly.
"As much as I don't want to believe it...yeah I do" replies Juzo sighing slightly. A moment of silence is between them and Juzo talks again.
"The only problem is...no one is going to believe this unless there is evidence to put that classmate of yours behind bars" replies Juzo.
"Junko is very smart, none of us can underestimate her...because it could be bad if she becomes suspicious" replies Naegi.
"You got that right...how do you plan to stop her? You know the disappearances are untraceable for anyone to get any clues..." replies Juzo a bit frustrated.
"I know but, we can stop her when she tries to plan the first mutual killing here that starts the biggest tragedy at this school" replies Naegi.
"And do you know an exact date?" asks Juzo.
"I'm thinking they are planning it very soon but... when it occurs we never really knew details when our class went through those annoying class trials" replies Naegi.
"Class Trials?" asks Juzo
"Kyoko didn't tell you details about the mutual killing?" replies Naegi surprised.
"She mentioned a few things about robotic bears but nothing about what you went through" replies Juzo.
Naegi begins talking about everything that happened to him from then and until recent events about being here and after he finished talking Juzo just looks at him with more confusion than when he started talking to him. The fact that Juzo didn't understand made Naegi a bit frustrated albeit he didn't inquire for him to completely contemplate the entire situation very easily.
"Kid, I really don't get how this is all possible but...I'll just believe that this happened because I can tell you aren't lying about this" replies Juzo at the point of wanting to head back.
"Well its a lot to process but I'm sure now that you know you can help save millions of lives" replies Naegi truthfully.
"Y-yeah, anyways I'm going to be heading out. You have my contact info?" asks Juzo.
Naegi shakes his head and they quickly exchange contact info and they part ways. It was about 8pm by the time they finished talking and Naegi felt that going to sleep early by having something to eat first was what he wanted to do; because he felt Kyoko needed a short break and he accepted it. Sometimes everyone needs their personal space but if she doesn't get a hold of him in a few days than he would track her down...even if it meant taking a risk of existence being exposed.
(Underground Study Room)
8:35pm
Ryota was drawing away taking a break from his story as he was thinking about making a really interesting character of a weeboo for fun. Suddenly he hears a knock and he turns around to see the door opening.
"Ryooooottttaa! Got anything sexy for my good performance as an anime character yet?!" cries Junko happily
"Well you didn't ask me uh to so-" replies Ryota but then Junko points her finger at the tip of his nose.
"Understand Ryota! You are my loyal companion! You must commit this to your hearts content! The world wants to be loved but they don't understand that it needs a leader for them to be loved by, right?! RIGHT?!" cries Junko
"Uh, yeah I suppose so" replies Ryota a bit puzzled.
"Exactly, Positively, Exponentially, Exquisitely out of this world!" cries Junko staring at Ryota with a big grin on her face. Ryota lightly blushes as she was too close to his face.
"...Ooookay" replies Ryota a bit uneasy about Junko's attitude.
"Listen Ryota...the process is almost set. In a few or so days will be ready to give you the footage for the anime, so get ready to use your magic; you got me?!" replies Junko slightly serious in her tone.
"Sure thing" replies Ryota
He turns back around in his spinning chair and begins using his mouse to work on his anime. And Junko smiles kindly making her exit.
She calls on her cell phone and Mukuro picks up immediately.
"Do you got all the weapons?" asked Junko.
"Yeah just got them, had to take of some business here but I'll be heading out shortly" replies Mukuro.
"I don't care how you take care of business or blah blah whatever just bring the weapons to the old school building undetected got it?" replies Junko a bit irritated with her sister.
"Sure thing Junko, I love-" Junko then hangs up the phone and sighs as she makes her way down the underground basement hallway.
"Very stereotypical for a silly girl like her to be so obedient..." rolls Junko's eyes.
"...Soon this school will witness true ultimate despair..." smiles Junko.
"They'll be thanking me for it later!" cries Junko in despair.

2:41pm
(Classroom 78)
It was only a matter of time before the first mutual killing would begin. Everything is set with the location that Junko and Mukuro had in mind and kept the weapons hidden in the old school building's janitor closet.
Everyone was all smiling listening to the homeroom teacher giving them a lesson about the types of behaviours to expect when graduating as an Ultimate. Except Junko and Mukuro were not in class today. Young Makoto noticed it, and was wondering where they were because he knew they were here most of the time. Suddenly Kyoko raises her hand very calmly,
"Yes? Kyoko" replies the homeroom teacher
"May I be excused to go to the ladies washroom" replies Kyoko.
"Go ahead" he replies.
She gets up and for second young Makoto realised something was off about her. Earlier when he tried to acknowledge her she would do it back but for some reason she wouldn't even look at him.
'I wonder if she's mad at me? Huh, but what could I have done?' thought young Makoto as she saw Kyoko shut the door behind her.
(Outside 2nd Floor Hallway New Building)
Kyoko walks slowly as she opens her note book and skims on the information that she wrote down the other day while she was in the restricted section. Some of the key points she read were the things she tried to ponder as she took out her pen.
-Creating multiple talents
-Ultimate Hope
-Lab Experiments
She turned the next page and began writing down new information.
-Participant is still classified and none of the information was displayed in the restricted section.
She sighs as she heads over to the washroom until suddenly she sees the older version of Makoto coming up the stairs. He looks up and smiles making his way over while she felt hesitant to talk to him.
"What are you doing here? You know your too close to your classroom you could be scene out here" replies Kyoko a bit furious.
"I don't care about that at the moment, I just wanted to come and see you" replied Makoto
"Listen do you understand what your saying..." replies Kyoko.
"I know but you wouldn't talk to me for a couple days so I thought I'd come and find you" replies Makoto honestly.
Kyoko then gave him the cold shoulder to turn around with a sigh.
"What is your problem?! What did I do?! If you would like to tell me I'd be happy to hear your reasoning" cries Makoto getting a bit annoyed.
She turns around and looks at him.
"You want to know? Fine I'll tell you." replies Kyoko.
"I'm ignoring you because I need some space to figure out what to do next" replies Kyoko.
"...Are you kidding me? You're doing this because you don't think I can help you?!" slightly raises Makoto's voice.
"Calm down-"
"I can't be calm! Not when you are ignoring me! I know you find things difficult to deal with your father and such but I'm not him!" replies Naegi
"What does my father have to do with anything? And how did you know we don't get along?" asks Kyoko eyeing him suspiciously.
"Because I heard you arguing one time when I ease dropped and I think he's a good man and you should give him a chance" replies Makoto.
"..."
Kyoko turns around and begins to walk back to her classroom briskly.
"WAIT!" cries Makoto.
"The only reason...I'm saying that is..." cries Makoto beginning to tear up.
'This is the only time to say it...I got to say it!' thought Makoto.
"Your father is going to be murdered!" cries Makoto as he got really close to her but stopped as his heart stopped for a second in fear.
Kyoko froze and turned around to look at Makoto with a very scary look; something that Makoto recalled from the class trial awhile ago now.
"...What?" replies Kyoko very coldly. Makoto froze for a second before he could speak again but he managed.
"I don't want you to have any regrets that's why I worry that when you push people away you will be pushing your own feelings from others! So for once, don't lie to me about wanting space all the time!" replies Makoto.
*SMACK!*
Naegi was punched in the face as it left a bruise on his left cheek.
"Don't ever... Come back! I don't ever want to speak to you again! You piece of shit!" replies Kyoko beginning to tear up as she then runs past him, Makoto froze there with his eyes open wide in bewilderment and as she slams the door to the washroom in the distance she begins to break down crying and sobbing looking into the mirror.
" I knew he was hiding something all along...but...b..." cries Kyoko in despair.
Kyoko deep down knew there would come a time that she would need to lie to get some truth from him, it was the only way but to hear this coming from him was making her stomach turn and feel too many mixed emotions.
As time passed she began to calm down, its been a very long time that she lost her cool like that but it really affected her deeply. She decided that she would need to find Makoto to apologise because she needs to know more answers about what he was trying to tell her. There must of been a reason he didn't want to tell her but she knows its best she knows the full truth.
She returns the classroom and informs the teacher that she was needed to speak with her father and left soon after desperately searching for Makoto.
She runs desperately searching and searching for him but doesn't find any hope. She looks outside the courtyard, to the dorms, cafeteria, school gates and the shed. At this point it was 3 hours from searching his location. She tried to text him earlier and sadly there was no reply from him.
She grits her teeth in anger but then tries to remain calm and just had no choice but to call it a day.
Thursday, December 30th 2010.
Cafeteria
8:30am
Kyoko was feeling uneasy as she got some stares from her classmates while she sitting from another table by herself but she continued to eat her food quickly before she decided to head out until young Makoto came over to talk to her.
"Hey Kyoko...are you okay?" asks young Makoto.
"..." Kyoko just kept eating and eating quicker trying to ignore Makoto.
"Everyone of us is worried about you since yesterday you seemed a bit different...I-I hope its nothing that anyone did wrong! But if you need to talk to us were here" replies young Makoto turning around and walking away. Kyoko felt hesitant to leave the conversation at that and was tempted to reply to him.
"Makoto" replies Kyoko before he walked away.
"Huh?" replies Naegi turning around to look at her face smiling.
"I'm doing fine, don't worry about me. Thank-you" replies Kyoko.
"O-of course! That's why I do what I do because I care about you! And everyone here too! You could almost say were like your second family in a way or vise versa haha" replies Naegi truthfully.
Kyoko nods.
"Your right..." replies Kyoko as she quickly finished her food and got up from her seat.
"I got to go...talk to you later" replies Kyoko in a hurry briskly jogging.
"O-okay see ya" replies young Makoto.
Earlier in the morning she notified her father that she was sick and needed the day off so that she could spend her day finding Makoto. However she had this intention that today was going to be very tedious.
Towa City, Towa Hotel Fourth Floor Bedroom
10:34am
Makoto was relaxing in the hotel room watching T.V as he managed to get a credit card since he was just at the right age to get one and thought it was okay to do this for a bit. He just wanted some space from Kyoko after what happened because it shocked him quite a bit and didn't expect her to do that in the first place. He was thinking deeply since yesterday when arriving here.
'I'm not sure what to do but I got to do something...I can't keep doing this forever' thought Makoto.
Makoto knew this was only a temporary fix but it was not going to help him in the long run because he knows Junko a little too well.
Hope's Peak Academy, Security Department
10:53am
"That future boy went missing...?" asks Juzo a bit confused as to why.
"Yes and I cannot find him anywhere since yesterday" said Kyoko.
Juzo sighs and slightly nods.
"Well I'll do my best to keep my eyes open...but I need to ask, did something happen between you two?" asks Juzo slightly curious.
"Y-yeah" replies Kyoko having a flashback from when she punched him in the cheek.
"Its not business to know details but was it you or was it him?" asks Juzo firing the question.
"Lets not go there" replies Kyoko cutting him short.
"S-sure thing detective just try not to make my job a living hell alright." replies Juzo.
"It shouldn't be a problem" Kyoko replies walking away with her arms crossed and as she walked out to the hallway Juzo quietly talks to himself.
"Teenagers these days...reminds me of the times with Munakada and Yukizome" smiles Juzo with his voice under his breath.
Outside Grounds of Hope's Peak Academy
2:31pm
Kyoko decides to check the forest at the old spot that he used to travel to and to her surprise she sees a man randomly walking the distance and for some reason looked liked Makoto. She ran to get close enough and she shouted at the top of her lungs.
"MAKOTO!" she cries. The person stopped and she got closer she saw that this person was quite taller than him. Although he wasn't wearing a uniform but it looked in a way close to Makoto's casual outfit.
"Don't come too close" replies the muffled unrecognisable voice. Kyoko stops in her tracks from about 25 meters being a bit cautious.
"Do what you can to follow that boy..." replies the person.
"Who are you? How do you know I'm searching for someone?" asks Kyoko suspiciously.
"Because you thought I was him right?" replies the person slightly giggling.
"Fair enough, but who are you? Its strange for you for someone to be out here at this time" replies Kyoko.
"Well I used to go to this school but I was expelled..." replies the person now deciding to turn around to show his face.
"The name is Nagito Komeada, I'm probably about a year older than your class" replies Nagito.
"I see" replies Kyoko.
"Although you said Makoto right? I've actually came across with him a couple of times haha he's quite the person so...full of hope" replies Nagito.
"..." Kyoko felt a bit uneasy about the person just from the vibes he was giving off towards her.
"I got a quick question to ask you...are you in love with him?" asks Nagito lightly blushing.
"Uh-um where is this coming from?" asks Kyoko blushing quite red.
"Oh well just the fact your desperately searching for him gives it all away fortunately...two lovers that work together to make a hopeful future together its too much to endure!" cries Nagito in despair. He gives off a expression of insane intentions and Kyoko decides to cut him short.
"Have you seen him?" asks Kyoko.
"Well I have not unfortunately" replies Nagito shrugging both of his arms slightly over his shoulder.
"Alright well then I will be leaving now" replies Kyoko walking pass Nagito. He then whispers by her ear level as she walks past him saying something quite eerie.
"Naegi sure does have the sign of true hope, will see if he can make it through to the end though hehehe"
"!" Kyoko moved her eyes still keeping her face forward as she was shocked by the response. Although she decides to stop in her tracks still looking forward and sternly replies.
"What do you mean by if he makes it until the end?" asks Kyoko.
"Oh you really want to know!? Lets just say there is going to be a big event happening real soon that someone is planning HAHAAHHH HAHA" cries Nagito insanely of despair.
She then grabs him with a strong grip by the neck and for her size lifts him up.
"Uhhh...that...hurts" struggles Nagito to gather his words being shocked by her black glove.
"You better watch what you say next or I will hurt you...what is this big event?" asks Kyoko.
"Not...like I...would tell you" replies Nagito. There was a pause for a second and he speaks again.
"But I will tell you...this...two people...are going to rule...this school" replies Nagito.
'Wait could it be!' thought Kyoko.
She then drops him and begins to run as fast as she could looking back to notice Nagito was just staring at her blankly.
"Make sure to tell him I said hello!" cries Nagito shouting to her in the distances while he waves.
She turns back around and decides to do what she can to stop Junko and Mukuro then worry about Naegi later...after all the school is in danger and she doesn't have much time left.
