That Wasn't Supposed To Happen

Moore's Law- Part 2

It had been a few hours since Byakuya got the note. It was almost 2am now.

Before Byakuya went to meet with this mystery person, he needed a weapon. While he didn't intend to kill them, he needed something to defend himself with. The only thing suitable was a zantetsuken that he got from the MonoMono machine. While it was useless to attack somebody with, since it can't even cut through flesh, you can use it to defend yourself.

Byakuya unsheathed it and walked out of his room, closing his door after he left.

He walked towards the nurse's office in silence. He didn't see anybody on the way to there, so the person who sent him the note must already be there.

When he stepped into the nurse's office, he was immediately almost stabbed with a knife, the zantetsuken being the thing that saved him. He took a step back and saw who his attacker was.

"Hina. Not particularly surprising that you gave me that note." Byakuya's voice was calm and uncaring.

"S-shut up!" Hina said as she tried to stab Byakuya again.

Byakuya simply stepped out of the way.

"Do you really think you can kill me?"

Hina didn't answer, instead she swung the knife at Byakuya again, this time he only narrowly avoided it.

"You know that it's impolite to ignore my question, right?" Byakuya said in a mocking tone.

"Just shut up!" Hina said.

"Is that all you can say?"

That seemed to anger Hina a lot, since she tried to stab him again. This time, however, he didn't manage to dodge the blow entirely. The knife managed to slice his right arm, cutting through the fabric, and making blood pour from it.

"How dare you!" Byakuya said as he held his hand on the wound, dropping his zantetsuken.

"Not so confident anymore?" Hina said, copying his mocking tone from earlier.

"As if this is going to change the outcome." Byakuya said, confidence clear in his voice.

That made Hina try to stab him again. Instead of dodging, Byakuya grabbed Hina's right hand with his left. She tried to get out of his grip but failed.

"Drop that knife. Now." The heir said in an icy tone. The swimmer complied and the knife fell onto the floor. Byakuya picked up the knife with his right hand and let go of Hina.

The moment that happened, something seemed to change in her.

"W-what- I- Byakuya." She said, tears forming in her eyes.

"Cut it."

"I-I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I just really wanted to leave with Sakura and-"

"And you fell right into Monokuma's trap." Byakuya said, holding his hand on the wound again.

"I was wondering when somebody would snap, again. Especially with this motive."

"I'm so sorry, I-"

Byakuya cut her off again.

"Yes. You told me a minute ago. Now, if you could find some bandages for me. I have a wound to rinse."

"O-of course." Hina started looking through the cabinets for bandages. When she finally found them, she gave them to Byakuya. Who was currently without a shirt on. Byakuya could see Hina blush out of embarrassment.

"Do I need to help you, or..." Hina said, trying not to look at Byakuya.

"As if I want help from the person who tried to kill me."
