"There you are!" a voice came from behind them. Kokichi, Himiko, and Kiki turned around to find Maki closing in on them menacingly. "What are you two doing here?" she asked Kokichi and Himiko.
"Nyeh...helping Kiki," Himiko replied, moving her broom out of Maki's sight by using her foot to push it behind her. She placed her fingers behind her back to snap them so the broom would turn invisible.
"Nee-heehee, that's right, Miss Murder-Pants," Kokichi said. "Kiki is cured, now, so you don't have to kill her, anymore."
"How is she cured, exactly?" Maki asked skeptically.
"How she got cured doesn't matter," Kokichi replied. "What matters is that she's not a vampire, anymore, so you don't have to kill her."
"Oh, I still have to kill her," Maki replied. Kiki hid behind Kokichi's leg. Kokichi gently pushed her back out so Maki could see her.
"Look, Maki," Kokichi said. "This little girl is no different than you. She has killed people, yeah, but why does she have to die and not you...someone who kills for a living? Sure, you may have a reason as to why you became an assassin, but maybe Kiki has a reason for being what she is, as well. She's shown us that she's not a complete monster. She still has feelings just like you and everybody else."
"She's a vampire, Kokichi," Maki argued. "She's a bloodsucking monster!"
"She's also my cousin," Kokichi replied fiercely. "And unlike you, I'm willing to defend the people who matter to me until the very end instead of turning my back on them and killing them. Does that ring a bell?" Maki shook with rage after hearing that. Tears fell from her eyes.
"I don't have a choice," she hissed.
"Yes, you do," Kokichi hissed back. "Do you enjoy killing that much? To the point where you take the lives of innocent people...who had done nothing wrong...just because someone ordered you to?! Those people were just trying to get by like everyone else, and you had the audacity to take their lives away?! And when this little girl, who is basically doing the same thing you're doing, comes along, she's the monster, and you're suddenly the hero who has to take her out of this world?! You're full of crap, Maki!"
Maki turned her head away in anger and sadness. It was one thing to be told off by someone, but being told off by someone you despise who has a compelling argument really pissed Maki off.
"Nyeh...please, Maki," Himiko said, trying to be diplomatic. "Kiki is cured, honestly! You don't have to go through with killing her! Just give her another chance, please!"
"Why do you care?" Maki asked Himiko. "This is Kokichi's problem, not yours." Himiko turned red which made Maki roll her eyes. "Don't tell me you've fallen for him," she scoffed.
"Nyeh...I guess if you can fall for an idiot like Kaito, I can fall for someone like Kokichi," Himiko replied. But then, she gasped after realizing what she had just said. She knew it was obvious that Kokichi knew that she liked him, but to say it out loud was a different story. She looked at Kokichi who smiled gratefully at her and took her hand.
"I'd rather fall for an idiot than a liar," Maki replied. "But whatever floats your boat, I guess."
"You'll help us then, right?" Kokichi asked her. Maki thought for a while, then took her phone out to contact her boss.
"This is Maki," Maki answered. She looked at Kokichi, Himiko, and Kiki, and then rolled her eyes. "The target has been destroyed," she said. Kokichi, Himiko, and Kiki smiled at her in relief.
