That Wasn't Supposed To Happen

Okay, Everyone!

When Chihiro was back in his room, he couldn't help but think about what Byakuya had said to him.

The conversation he had with the heir had only left him with more questions. Just what did he learn from Monokuma? And why was he so adamant that Kyoko couldn't be trusted?

It was especially the latter question that left Chihiro confused. While Byakuya always had a certain... distaste of the lavender-haired girl, it was never as extreme as this.

Whatever Monokuma gave him must have made him act like this...

Chihiro's thoughts were interrupted when he heard his doorbell ring. He opened his door to find Hina standing there.

"We're having a meeting in the dining hall... Sakura- she wants to tell us more about..." Hina trailed off, her usual cheeriness missing in her voice.

"R-right. I'll come right away..." Chihiro said, immediately closing the door behind him to follow Hina to the dining hall.

When the two of them arrived, Taka, Kyoko and Sakura were already there, all standing around the big table in the middle, but nobody sitting.

"Ah. There you are," Sakura greeted, a guilty expression on her face, "Then we can start."

That confused Chihiro a bit. "Shouldn't we wait for Byakuya?" He asked, glancing at Hina.

"Of course not. If he was here, it would only make things worse," Hina said, poorly concealed anger slipping into her voice.

"Yes. We have no need for his snide comments right now," Taka agreed while Sakura and Kyoko both stayed quiet.

"B-but wouldn't it be better if he was here? I mean if he finds out about this..." Chihiro explained, a small frown appearing on his face.

Hina opened her mouth to respond but was quickly cut off by Kyoko. "Chihiro's right. If Byakuya finds out about this, he won't be happy," The lavender-haired girl said, her voice calm as ever.

"But-" Hina tried before getting cut of once again.

"They're right, dear. I suppose it would be best if someone were to get him," Sakura interrupted, a stern expression on her face.

Hina frowned at that but didn't respond.

"I'll get him then..." Chihiro offered, walking away when Sakura gave him a curt nod.

The walk towards the library was a familiar one, especially since Chihiro had been there an hour or two ago.

He opened the library doors to find, just es expected, Byakuya siting there, the same book in his hands as before. The heir looked up, a look of annoyance on his face.

"Why are you bothering me this time?" Byakuya asked, his voice clipped.

"We're uh- Sakura's going to tell us more about her being a traitor and stuff..." Chihiro explained, suddenly feeling a sense of uncomfortableness.

Byakuya closed his book. "She is? Well, then I suppose I will go with you," He said, standing up and signalling Chihiro to start walking.

The walk back towards the dining hall was spend in thick silence and Chihiro couldn't help but feel nervous- he had a feeling that this meeting wasn't going to end well.

As they entered the dining hall, Byakuya chose a spot near the wall, leaning against it. Chihiro stood somewhere in the middle. Then, Sakura started speaking.

"Now that we're all here, there are some other things I must confess..." She began, a guilty expression on her face.

"When I was working for Monokuma, I was told to... to kill one of my friends," The martial artist continued, not daring to look anybody in the eyes.
