Dangan Ronpa:return to Despair Academy

Traitor

We decided it would be okay to head back to the Dining Hall.All we had really found out was that there's a pool with locker rooms and if you try to go in the wrong one you're toast,and that rats were running around somewhere.Kimiko's demeanor resembled one of a dissapointed child.

Masaru,Shoichi,and Yoshio had decided to join us,as their investigation was over,and once Takumi Minako and Akihiro,they joined us as well.

"I still say Yoshio or I should have accompanied Maiko."Akihiro mumbled.He really just sounded like a thunder cloud most of the time.

"And I don't like Satoru at all."Yoshio shook his head darkly."Kimiko I don't think its safe to leave Maiko on her own.Me and Akihiro are the only ones that can make her listen!"

"Maiko needs to be trusted just like any of us."Kimiko still firmly believed that we should trust eachother.She was completely correct,but Maiko still worried me.

"You are right,however I hope you know what you're doing Kimiko."Akihiro was the first down the stairs leading to the first floor.

"You can't tell me that you're not the least bit worried about Tomoko!"Yoshio countered,following closely behind.

"Oh we all know that you are worried enough for all of us!"Minako teased.She had been doing it a lot lately.I had to resist the urge to do it too.It was quite obvious they both had mini crushes on eachother,which was adorable.But they were both oblivious to the others feelings.So every time Minako saw them together she made these jokes as a form of hinting to them.

I had to remind myself that Minako was no ordinary actress,that she was smart as well as odd.She was constantly wearing ripped jeans and a graphic t-shirt of some sort,and never did anything with her hair or applied makeup.This contrast to what most actresses did was obvious but I never commented on it.

'It's probably her confidence.'I thought.'She knows she looks good,which is why she doesn't bother with the details.That,or she just doesnt care.'

"STOP PLEASE!!!!!!!"

"Tomoko!"Yoichi realized.

We all sprinted back up the stairs.Tomoko was screaming things like "Stop!" and "Leave it alone!"

The cries led us to a regular classroom,where we stumbled upon an unsettling scene.

Maiko was pinning Tomoko down,while Satoru held her clarinet in hand.It had seriously taken a beating,as the bell on the bottom was sitting crooked,and half of the silver buttons had fallen off.Tomoko was in tears where she lay,struggling desperately to stop him.But Maiko was giggling and holding her down easily.When we entered the room,he didn't look alarmed,he just kept doing what he was doing.

"What the fuck?!"I heard Masaru mumble behind me.

Just then,two whirlwinds passed me and rushed into the room.One was Yoshio,the other Akihiro.

Akihiro pulled Maiko off.It didn't look particularly hard,as she had erupted into hysterical cackles and was holding her stomach in pain.'She was having a grand old time!'I realized.

Yoshio had gone straight for Satoru,who he punched right in the face.Satoru dropped the damaged instrument and slumped on the floor.

Tomoko got up and ran over to her clarinet.She picked it up carefully,and after observing the damage inflicted,she burst into sobs.It broke my heart to she her like that.

"What the hell were you two doing?!?!"Yoshio looked dangerous as he stood over Maiko's and Satoru's forms.For once I was able to notice how formidable his size was.

Satoru straightened his glasses,and looked him in the eyes calmly.His eye was a dark purple where he was hit,but he looked as calm as someone about to win a game of chess.
