The Ultimate Despair (Naegi Mastermind AU)

『5』

*Kyoko Kirigiri POV*

I'm a still as a statue, Naegi eyes red eyes glare into me- wait.....red eyes? didn't Naegi have brown eyes? no no I'm pretty sure they're green. It doesn't matter, what matters is saving myself from Naegi's clutches.

"I-I won't tell anyone about you."

"Ah good girl, you deserve a gold star for this!"

I'm confused by his unusual statement. 

"What?"

He doesn't answer only giving me a wide smile. He turns his back to me and leaves heading back towards the dining hall. I lean against the wall, thinking, thinking, thinking of what I should do. 

*Byakuya Togami POV*

So.....Naegi is the mastermind after all. No wonder Kirigiri was acting so suspicious, she didn't want to risk anyone although I doubt these imbeciles would be able to help, they can't even figure out a simple game. Currently, I have a choice, reveal myself to Kirigiri or work by myself from the shadows. Before I can make a decision I hear a voice near me.

"My my if it isn't the handsome Byakuya Togami."

I turn slightly to see Naegi standing right next to me just bare inches away. His short height allowing him to measure up to just above my waistline. 

"N-naegi or- or should I say the mastermind of this complex game."

"Your stuttering! it's so funny when you're nervous around me."

"I did no such thing."

"Liar, liar Kokichi on fire."

The weird jest confuses me but I decide to ignore it and plow ahead with what I was saying.

"You are the mastermind are you not?"

"Ding Ding Ding, winner winner winner!"

I scowl at him showing my un-amusement towards him. He counties smiling from ear to ear as if he's not the reason why so many have died.

"Y'know if you had killed someone I wouldn't have executed you, I personally think you're too useful to die!"

"What do you mean by this?"

"Tell you what Byakuya I'll strike you a deal."

"What deal could you possibly make to convince me of murder."

"Oh no no I don't need to kill anyone, I need you to be my spy my personal assistant."

"I- what!?"

"You hear me! Work for me or die and never achieve anything ever again!"
