I Wan't to Change~(ChihiroxMondo)

Chapter 19~New Information.

Chihiro's POV:

"T-They are...?" I ask, Mukuro nodding some. "I never did tell you how you guys were put in the game...she gets up and walks over to one of the pods, "We synced up your minds and transferred your consciousness into the machine, which materialized into a physical form of whoever was synced up...that consciousness is trapped in the machine until something happens that causes the person to wake up, aka death." She says, making my eyes widen some, "There's also one other way that their consciousness would stay trapped, but I'll talk about that momentarily." W-What...?

I think to myself some, "Can't you just...rewrite the program to make it where their consciousness could be disconnected so they could all wake back up...?" I ask, her shaking her head. "The main controller made it to where the program can't be messed with...the others can't be taken out, however...we can put someone back in it." Mukuro says, making me look down some. I see...why would the main controller do that...? Why would they want to make it to where you could put someone back... ?

I shake away my thoughts and bring my focus back to our conversation, "So...what happens if...they don't wake back up or...the machine breaks...?" I ask, making her look down some. "You should already know what would happen..." she says, saddening me some. They...won't come back...they'll...pretty much be dead or...I guess asleep unless the machine could be fixed, but...even if it was, it could mess with their consciousness and cause some problems...I sigh a little. At least it isn't broken, but...right now I shouldn't worry about that...I should be worried about how we can wake the others up without them having to die in the killing game.

Mukuro looks down some, There's...also something else you should know..." she says, making me look back up at her. Huh...? "What is it...?" I ask, her walking back over to me. "What I'm about to tell you...cannot leave this room. You can't tell the others about it until it actually happens...there's a reason I'm telling you this, but I can't say yet..." she says, surprising me some. This is...concerning...what is she about to tell me...? This could...change everything.

Mondo's POV:

Chihiro...what was all that about...? His reaction to the computer...I honestly wasn't expecting that would happen. What's so special about it...? I don't really get it, though...I will say that it looks...familiar. I think that was the computer Makoto wanted him to fix...I sigh a little. I hope that he's okay...I wonder what Mukuro wanted to talk to him about. She looked...kinda mad.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I feel a hand on my shoulder, "Don't worry so much Kunai, Chihiro will be fine..." I look over, seeing Taka who looks concerned. "I know..." I say as I look away, "I just don't want her to upset him..." I tighten my fists some at the thought. She better not...or else I'll...I sigh, looking down some. Ugh! I should've just gone with them anyways...

I think some to myself, smiling a little. I shouldn't be worried...Chihiro is getting stronger...~ He...doesn't need a bodyguard or to...be protected. I'm sure he would rather take things on himself instead of having someone do it for him...though I will say that I'll...step in if I have to. I...don't want him to get hurt...I laugh some to myself. I...love how determined he is to change...~ I need to be as determined as he is if I want to change myself...I know that with his help...I will...~

I look towards the infirmary door. Hopefully he and Mukuro won't take the rest of the day chatting...I'd like to continue our...date...if it really is that. I feel my face heat up some. I mean...I still don't know, but...it could be...maybe...I hope...~

~Time skip to later that day~

I groan some as I lean my head on my hand. What's taking them so long...? I thought they would be finished by now...what could be so important that at they would talk till close to the end of the day...I sigh some to myself. So much for our-

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I see the infirmary door open, Chihiro looking inside, making me smile some, "Finally! What took ya so long~?" I say, surprising him some. "Mondo...? How come you haven't left yet...?" He asks, making me laugh some. "I wanted to wait for you so we could hang out some...~" I say, making him blush, but then look down a little, which confuses me some, "Chihiro...? What's wrong...? Did...something happen?"

He snaps out of his thoughts and smiles a little, "No no I'm okay~ I'm just...tired...I'm gonna head back to the room..." Chihiro says as he leaves, surprising me some. What happened...? He looks...upset...I stand up from the chair and head towards the door. I need to find out what's wrong...

"Hey..." I look back at Sakura, seeing that she's smiling a little, "Good luck with Chihiro...~" she says, making me smile some before I leave the room. Sakura and I actually had a conversation about Chihiro...she asked me about how I felt about him and told me about how she feels about Aoi. I'm honestly not surprised that she likes her, they were pretty close in the killing game...and seeing how Aoi was during and at the end of Sakuras trial shows that she feels the same.

I shake away my thoughts and head to our room, looking in to see that...he's not there. Where is he...? I thought he would be in here like he said...I sigh some to myself and leave our room. I've gotta find him...I could tell by the tone of his voice that something was wrong...I think to myself some. I wonder...could he be in there...?

Chihiro's POV:

As I change into my workout clothes, I look down some. Mukuro...everything she told me...it's honestly hard to process. I can understand why she didn't tell the others...if she did...I sigh a little. Everything that's about to happen...it's all because of Alter Ego...Makoto and the others are in danger...because of me. I should've...never made them...though at the same time, I'm glad that they were useful and was able to help the others some.

I sadden some. They're...gone now...I know I can make another Alter Ego, but...that was the only successful one I've ever made. It...meant so much to me...I feel like I just...lost a part of myself, but it doesn't matter now. I...have more important things to worry about...I think some to myself. I do wonder why she trusted giving me this information...Mukuro said that she won't give me the reason why yet, but I'm sure she will soon. I tighten up my fists some. The main controller...I still can't believe that it's-

"Chihiro...?" I snap out of my thoughts and look behind me, seeing Mondo walk into the locker room, "What are you doing in here..? I thought you were tired..." he says, making me look away and twiddle my thumbs. "Ah...w-well I-" "Chihiro...please tell me what's wrong..." Mondo says, interrupting me. I stay silent and look down a little, making him sigh and walk towards me, "Listen...I...care about you."

My eyes widen and I look back at him. "W-What...?"
