Let's forget about the rest *Naegami oneshots*

Hunger Games AU

Damn this. Damn this all!

It's been I don't know how long since class 78 got abducted by Junko Enoshima, the ultimate model who turns out to be some secret agent or something? I still haven't quite figured that part out, mostly because I haven't had any time to.

In some strange turn of events class 78 got placed in this huge arena, where we have to kill eachother in pairs in order to get out. The person I ended up with at the beginning was none other than the ultimate rich guy himself, Byakuya Togami.

At first teamwork was a little difficult. He seemed to be slightly enjoying this what he called "game", despite the "quite barbaric methods". While I was being too big of a pussy to kill anyone. So far I haven't either. And yet I am one of the last people still alive.

It's all thanks to Byakuya. When it came down to it, he came to my aid. I was upset with him at first. The girl I used to go to high-school with, Sayaka Maizono, was brutally killed right before my eyes. He was the one to do it. But it was all to protect me, as it turns out. She was going to kill me otherwise.

Now I'm completely dependant on him, though I'd like to think he depends on me too. Though I haven't killed anyone yet, I did manage to keep us hidden or just support Byakuya when he was starting to question his own sanity. No matter how cold he may appear to be, the killing does really get to him.

There was one night where I found him curled up into a ball and shivering a little. I was on lookout so he was supposed to be asleep, but of course that doesn't come easily here. At first I'd thought he was just stirring in his sleep. However, after I heard some sniffling, I knew he was still awake.

I sat down next to him and rested my hand on his back as a reassuring act. He jumped a little at that.

"I know it's difficult, but you're not in this alone." I had told him. He quickly sat up and apologised to me. I could tell that that wasn't it. Instead of saying something he'd probably knew already, I embraced him. To my surprise he clung to me quite tightly. Again I didn't say anything and neither did he and yet in that moment we understood each other so well.

No time to reminiscent now. I need to stay alert. Though these memories did calm me down a little. I was starting to get accustomed to the rules of this horrible game, for Junko to go and change them now. The teams will now be separated and everyone will have to fight for themselves.

Me and Byakuya are on opposite sides now.

"This is not fair! She cannot do this!" a man screams from the small audience watching the spectacle.

"Unfortunately, she can." the man next to him said. Though he seems calm, he is raging just as much on the inside.

These men are the fathers of Makoto and Byakuya respectively.

Even though they are helpless in this position, Togami can't help but to think of one way or another to help his son out. Yes, he's been hard on him all his life, but it was a necessity. It was the one and only way to keep the Togami legacy strong and prospering. This is how he'd been taught and his father before him and his father before him.

Now things are different though. With the most terrible, most tragic event in human history, the Togami legacy is no more. Now he can finally be the father he always wanted to be. If only he could talk to his son at the very least.

"You seem deep in thought my friend. Do you have something in mind?" Naegi asks. He knew Togami quite well, for they have both been participants of the same game before. It wasn't as grand scale as this though and when it was over, the culprits were caught for their sick game. That should have been that, but now it is clear that it was all just a test run for the real deal.
