Chapter 4: Normal life
"A ghoul?" – Asked Maki to Naegi. Who nodded - "Yes a ghoul" - Maki then scuffed – "you know… you are too old to make jokes like that" – she said as Naegi looked in pain – "I'm not joking" – he said slicing her hand making her bleed and shocking Maki, who in shock fell back to the floor – "What are you doing crazy bastard?" – Maki said enraged
"does your hand hurt?" – Makoto then asked… Maki still angry until she noticed she didn't actually felt pain in her hand anymore. She then looked at it and noticed that her hand wasn't bleeding anymore… no, it was more than that… her hand didn't have a wound anymore… Impossible she definitely felt the knife cut her… maybe she just imagined it?
*Clink, Clink*
She heard the knife fall in front of her… Makoto had just thrown it to the floor and she looked shocked… there was blood on the knife… it did cut her… but …. Why didn't it hurt? … why was her hand ok?
"Vampires and ghouls can heal faster than humans" – Makoto said surprising her before she looked up at him – "Because of their self-healing abilities, small cuts like that don't even take a minute to heal…" – he explained as Maki looked shocked at her hand – "Is there a cure?" -Maki then asked… making Makoto gulp – "no… once you become one… there is no going back" – Naegi said trying his best to not break
"so… There's no way to go back" – she finally said looking at him tears falling from her eyes. Naegi felt a sharp pain in his chest – "why… why did this happen?" – Makoto clenched his fist in pain. – "Maki… the truth is…" – she looked at him… why, why did he looked guilty… why did she felt sad for him – "The truth is…."
*Naegi Makoto you have been summoned to the director's office*
Both Maki and Naegi heard it and Naegi took a hard breath – "well I have to leave… don't worry after the doctors do a couple of checkups they are going to tell you your options… please don't fight them… and… I hope we can meet again" – he said with a sad smile, Maki looked at him and nodded. It was then that the door opened, and Makoto left
Maki felt lost… she didn't know what to do… but somehow… thinking about him made it easier to endure it – "ugh that disgusting vampire was here" – she then heard outside her cell as two guards talked – "Yeah I know… I still don't understand how they don't keep him in a cage… after all is his fault there even ghouls, to begin with" – Maki eyes then widened as she heard this – "what do you mean?" – then asked the other guard – "didn't you hear? Apparently, after he survived the transformation to a vampire they took his DNA and from it, they created the ghouls" – He explained to the other guard shocking Maki – "so ghouls are created from his DNA?" – Maki couldn't hear more… it was his fault she ended like that… but why… why she felt sad for him instead.

Makoto was walking through the hallway… hearing the whispering of all the people talking. They were thrashing him… they were insulting him… but he didn't care. After all, it was like this every day. Makoto finally got to the office of the director Togami. Naegi then opened the door. Inside were Kijo sitting on his desk. Byakuya and Kyoko standing in front of him and Jin who was sitting on the side
"Good afternoon Director Togami… Headmaster Kirigiri" – Makoto said with a smile… yet both of them looked a little mad at him – "Naegi-kun… I have read the report… That you fought against another reaper… in order to save a Ghoul… is that right?" – He asked looking at Makoto closely… What was he going to answer?
"That is all true" – he admitted, he didn't find any use in lying. Kijo then sighed and Jin looked closely – "Makoto… you know procedure, you hunt the ghouls. And in the case a person is turned… they have to die as well" – Makoto then clenched his fist, making Kijo sigh
"Naegi-kun… I know it's hard to do it. But you know the rules… our jobs aren't to reform them… is to kill them" – He said calmly looking at Makoto who was looking down and his hair covered his eyes – "then kill me as well" – Makoto said surprising everyone in the room. But especially Kyoko – "If everyone with ghoul blood deserves to die… then you should kill the source of it don't you think?"- Makoto then kept saying – "I bet everyone outside this room would be glad you did" – He said looking at Kijo… his eyes blurry and cold. Kijo looked at the boy and felt regret… it was because of his weakness that this boy ended in pain like this – "Makoto…."- he started but was interrupted by Jin who raised his arm and stood up. He then walked and stopped in front of Makoto…everyone in the room were looking at him and Kyoko was worried
"Naegi-kun… why did you save her?" – Jin asked him seriously… and Makoto looked at him in the eyes – "She is innocent… she doesn't deserve to die for what someone else did to her" -Jin could see it… he saw himself on her… taken by force, turned into a monster without a choice. He then smiled and place his hand on the top of Naegi's head, stroking his hair
"then you did well" – he said surprising Makoto, Byakuya and Kyoko, but Kijo smiled slightly – "but still you broke the rules… so there has to be punishment" – Jin said with a light tone. He then stopped stroking his hair – "how about this… You get suspended for a little while" – he said, and Makoto looked surprised – "Now that I think about it you haven't had a vacation in a while… So, go to school and take a rest… live like a normal teenager for a while" – he said. Makoto then felt some tears forming on his eyes and looked down before starting to cry. Both Byakuya and Kyoko then smiled and even Kijo had a small smile on his face – "Naegi Makoto… from now on you are suspended from active duty, until change of orders"

The next day got there and Makoto was sleeping on his bed, when he heard the alarm on his screen – "good morning it's time to wake up" – Makoto complained a little but eventually woke up – "I'm awake… I'm awake" – he said before turning off the alarm. He then stood up and walked to the bathroom, before taking off his shirt and take a bath… this morning… it felt differently, knowing the fact that he didn't have to hunt ghouls… made him… I don't know… like a weight was lifted from his shoulders. Makoto then finished his bath and walked outside to his room, a towel covering his private parts
*knock, knock*
He then heard surprising him… who was knocking his door so early in the morning? Makoto then opened the door… seeing Sayaka, who blushed the moment she saw him – "Morning Sayaka" – he said smiling, before he noticed she was trying to not look at him – "what's wrong?" – he asked confused… her face was red and she was trying to not look at him… only to fail time and time again – "Makoto… your towel" – she said blushing, Makoto then looked down and noticed his towel had fallen… and his face turned red
"I'm sorry!" – He said quickly taking the towel and covering himself – "no… it's not your fault" – she quickly said looking away… she couldn't lie… she accidentally looked at it… and he was bigger than she thought – "sorry, let me dress myself quickly" – he said entering his room and closing it. Maizono could hear how he created a mess as he dressed himself up as quickly as he could. She then heard the door opening and Naegi came out fully dressed… still blushing
"sorry for that" – he said not being able to look at her face. Making her giggle- "you look cuter when you are embarrassed" – she said a Makoto face turned even redder – "well let's go to eat something" – She said as she started walking – "today you pay for me too as an apology for that scene"
"Hey that means I'm getting punished?" – he said a little mad, she then turned around and smiled – "yep"- Makoto then sighed – "ok let's go eat" – They both then walked to the cafeteria, where they found that Celes, Hifumi and Mukuro where already there, all eating – "good morning" – said Makoto to them… but other than Hifumi… they didn't answer, surprising him – "did.. did I do something wrong?" – he asked but Sayaka shook her head – "don't worry they are just like that" – Makoto didn't understand. But didn't want to take that as an answer. – "we can't do that… don't they say that one has to get more friends than enemies?" – Makoto said, making Sayaka giggle – "you sound like a kid… no wonder you became the knight" – she joked
Makoto smiled and then walked to where Mukuro was – "good morning Mukuro" – he said smiling… but she ignored him… just keeping her stoic face – "earth to Mukuro?" – he asked her again… but again she didn't respond… Makoto then pouted… and grinned, he had an idea. He then got close to her ear and blew on it… making her shake startled like a spark had just touched her. She then looked mad at him
"What do you think you are doing?" – she said mad and blushing at him. Making him smile – "oh so you are awake… I thought you had fallen asleep" – he joked, and Mukuro looked surprised… his smile… it was so pure. In her life as a soldier she had seen a lot of people smile… but behind it they were always hiding something: Pain, fear, betrayal, sadness… but behind his… there was nothing bad… just purity – "So Mukuro how did you sleep?" – Mukuro then looked away blushing, surprising Makoto – "hey… you are not still mad, are you?" – he asked nervous
While everyone looked surprised at them, the days before they had tried again and again to talk to her… but they all failed. Only her sister Junko could talk to Mukuro… and yet Naegi managed so easily to talk to her. Everyone was shocked… but mostly Junko who had just gotten there… she looked angry at Makoto… how… how was he able to do that?
"impressive Luckster, you actually managed to talk to the stoic soldier" – Celes then said to Makoto, getting his attention – "but don't you think is better to just ignore people like her?" – Celes then said making Mukuro glare at her – "Hey Celes that's rude to say" – Makoto then scolded her – "It doesn't matter if she is a soldier… we are all friends" – Makoto said… managing to bring a little pink on Mukuro's cheeks… and making Sayaka a little jealous. Was he doing this on purpose?... She then looked at him and smiled… nope he is probably doing it unconsciously
"Makoto" – they all then heard someone said from the door, and they all saw Byakuya there – "good morning" – he said, and Makoto smiled – "good morning Byakuya" – he said. Byakuya then went to eat. Makoto then sat next to him and started eating as well… he was eating a lot (since he couldn't drink blood he had to compensate) – "you know that you don't have to eat here as well… we are not on active duty… go make some friends" – Byakuya whispered. Makoto then looked at him and sighed – "Byakuya, you are my friend as well"- Makoto then took a pill container and took a couple of blood red pills, before drinking them… everyone noticed that – "are you sure you should be drinking blood pills so publicly?" – Byakuya whispered again – "hey no worries, I just have to say I'm sick and that's all" – Makoto said
'WHAT?!" – they then all heard on the door and everyone looked at the door. They all then noticed a young girl (same age as them) with black messy hair and glasses – "Master?" – she said surprised… Everyone then looked confused… who was she talking to?
She then quickly ran to Makoto's and Byakuya's table and looked directly at Byakuya – "Master… thank you for saving me" – she said surprising both Makoto and Byakuya… they finally remembered… she was the girl they saved in chapter 1. Makoto then laughed a little before taking his chopstick and returning to eat. Byakuya then looked at Naegi who was laughing with a glare – "It's not funny" – he said mad. Makoto then smiled teasingly – "What is the problem? You have a fan"- he said making fun of him
"I don't know this pig" – Byakuya said rudely shocking everyone… and even making Makoto drop his chopsticks. After saying this everyone kept silence and the girl started tearing up – "Hey… he didn't mean it… right, Byakuya?" – Makoto said trying to cheer up the girl
"MASTER IS SO GREAT!" – the girl then said loudly surprising everyone – "EVEN HIS INSULTS ARE HIGH CLASS… PLEASE MASTER…. INSULT ME MORE!" – She begged with a blushing obsessive face on her. Everyone (except Byakuya) then looked at her like she was crazy – "So… what is your name?" – asked Makoto but the girl looked mad at him
"don't… Don't… you talk to me" -she said surprising Naegi – "Answer him" – Byakuya ordered – "YES MASTER… My name is Toko Fukawa and they call me the ultimate Writing prodigy" – She said following Byakuya's orders. Makoto then looked in disbelief not only did she obey his orders, but her stutter even disappeared with it. He was going to say something but then he just sighed and stood up – "well I'm going to go wake up Kyoko… I bet she stood the whole night working again" – he said as he stood again
"ahh I'm going with you" – then said Sayaka standing up making everyone (except Naegi) look at her suspiciously… and making her blush. Makoto then smiled – "ok let's go" – he said… Making everyone sigh… he was so dense. They all thought at the same time as they both left the room
….
….
"so… how long have you known Kyoko-Chan?" -Sayaka then said as they both walked to Kyoko's room – "well Byakuya, Kyoko and I have been friends since we were little" – Makoto then explained. Maizono then looked at him teasingly – "so… are you two dating?" – she asked making Makoto blush
"No! we aren't dating… we are just friends" – Yet Maizono face didn't change – "are you sure?" – Makoto face then turned red as he accidentally remembered when he bit and drank her blood… Maizono then pouted a little – "so you did do something to her?"- Makoto's face then turned red as he thought to what she was implying – "No I haven't …. I … I never dated anyone"- he said surprising Sayaka – "really?"- she asked… after all, she knew at least 5 girls from middle school who fell for him
"well… I never have the time to date… and there are no girls that like me" – he then said a little disappointed…. Making her giggle… he really was dense as they finally got to Kyoko's door. And Makoto then started knocking – "Kyoko time to wake up!" – he said as he knocked – "I'm awake… I'm awake" – they both heard Kyoko say while yawning.
She then opened, and she looked like a mess… her hair was messy everywhere, she was only wearing a long-sleeved shirt and panties and she looked still tired - "morning"- Makoto then sighed, he was way to accustomed to this – "Kyoko at what time did you went to sleep?" – Kyoko then shook her head… Making him sigh again – "Ok just get ready to school" – she then nodded before she noticed Sayaka there, who was a little surprised over the situation – "Maizono-san what are you doing here?" – Sayaka then smiled – "nothing much… I just came here with Makoto" – She said… and Kyoko looked suspicious at her.
"well, see you in class"
