Chapter 15: A day to remember

Mukuro woke up to the alarm as always. It was Monday... the beginning of another school week She yawned and went to the bathroom... there she took a bath, after that she looked herself in the mirror... After she saw herself she noticed... she was sad. Another day with the same routine, another day living as herself, another day not knowing who she was.

She missed her memories since she woke up from the coma, but every day that passed she felt worse and worse. Not only she didn't know who she was... but knowing that the her that was looking herself in the mirror was a fake... It hurts, she then noticed tears coming from her eyes and quickly cleaned them... She couldn't go to the class looking like she was crying.

After dressing she went to the class. Everyone then said hi to her, she noticed that Naegi was asleep on his table while Sayaka and Hina were glowing with happiness, Junko, on the other hand, looked like she was mad. Worried over the luckster she went to where he was - "Naegi-kun?"- she said waking him up, who smiled at her - "morning Mukuro" - he said raising Mukuro's curiosity - "Naegi-kun, why are you always tired?" - she asked making the boy laugh embarrassed - "hehe let's just say... Lately, I have been working out more" - he said while trying to look into her sincere eyes, He then looked and - "Mukuro have you been crying?" - this startled the girl who tried to cover herself to not be noticed by him - "it's nothing..." - she said, yet Naegi could feel the sadness in her voice. he then started thinking. Before he looked at her

"Mukuro you want to go out with me today?"- After those words came out of his mouth the whole class stop what they were doing, looking at Naegi open eyed, surprised, Junko was burning in rage, but the most surprised was Mukuro, she even covered her mouth because of the shock, Naegi then looked around confused... why was everyone looking at him... he even felt murderous gazes around him, Mukuro looked at the boy... and even now she doesn't understand why she said

"yes"

...

After the school, they both started walking to the city. Naegi was walking normally, but Mukuro, on the other hand, was blushing a lot, Naegi then hold her hand surprising her - "you don't have to be nervous" - he said smiling to her... making her smile as well.

the first place they went was a crêpe stand, Mukuro ordered a Nutella marshmallow one while Naegi ordered a chocolate one, Mukuro looked really happy eating, so much she didn't notice a Nutella mark on her cheek, Naegi then thought of something funny... and licked her cheek to clean it.

Mukuro was so surprised, that her natural soldier instincts came up and she grabbed Naegi and threw him on the ground. After a couple of seconds, she noticed what she did - "I'm sorry Naegi-kun... I don't know what came to me" - yet (even though he was in pain) Naegi only smiled at her saying it was ok, Mukuro then helped Naegi up.

"I guess your body still remembers your soldier's abilities" - he said smiling embarrassed, this surprised Mukuro... before she felt a little sad... Naegi noticed this - "Mukuro... Are you ok?" - this brought her to reality before she smiled - "I'm ok just thinking about something" - Naegi knew she was lying... but... he didn't want to force her.

"So... where you want to go?" - asked Naegi with a smile full of compassion, making her feel a little better... she was grateful that he wasn't pushing the theme on her. After they left the stand Mukuro said she wanted to try something... and took Naegi to a paintball gun store and stadium, surprising the boy - "I know it's not very feminine but I like coming here and play sometimes" - she said embarrassed, yet when she saw Naegi she noticed that he was getting ready to play - "you don't mind that I like it"

"Mukuro, you are you. So if you like to play then let's play" - he said putting on the helmet, She then got excited and got ready herself.
