Dangan Ronpa:return to Despair Academy

A Life Debt

*Sorry once again for not updating on time,I was in Jersey for a family get together.And yesterday my family was doing a lot of house work,so I didn't get the chance.So here's our new chapter!*

After Minako paid me that visit I didn't want to see anyone else.I curled up on my bed under the single blanket.I wanted to forget watching those videos,forget the guilt and horror that was plaguing me.

Did we know any of those people?The ones who died?If we do ever manage to get out of here,will we lose all of those memories?Or will we get them back?

Then a horrible thought crossed my mind.

Do I want that?

*Knock knock*

As I was about to reprimand myself for having such thoughts I heard a knock at my door.I begrudgingly slunk out of my nest and made my way to the door.

On the other side was none other than the Ultimate Archer himself,Akihiro.He was standing there looking as dark and mysterious as ever.

"Kimiko wanted one of us to bring you dinner."I noticed a plate he held in his hands where a ham sandwich and a pile of strawberries sat.

I hadn't been aware of how long I was in my bedroom,or how hungry I was for that matter.I had to remind myself not to tear the plate out of his hands and garble down the whole thing.I calmly took it,my hands shaking with hunger and placed it on my shelf.

"Thanks.How is everyone?"I didn't want to turn him away so quickly,not after he brought me food.It was then that I noticed that I really didn't know anything about him.

Wow i must be a great friend if I'm just now noticing this.

"They are concerned about you."He folded his arms and looked down at me sternly.His way of scolding me I suppose.

"Yeah,I owe you guys an apology.I'll be sure to do that at breakfast tomorrow."

Akihiro nodded once and looked at the floor."One will not be necessary for me,as I am aware of your penitence."He turned to walk away,but before he could...

"Have you paid back Tomoko yet?"I wanted to keep a conversation going with him.I wanted to learn more about him,not just for manners sake,but so I could tell if he was dangerous.He was always carrying around that bow and sheath after all.

He paused mid stride at my words.He stood motionless in that hall for what seemed like hours.His black hair stood on end on the back of his neck.

"No...I haven't..."

I remember how angry he was when Tomoko lied for him and Yoshio,putting herself at risk.He seemed like a guy who believed in repaying debts,and honor and all that jazz.

"I think I know a way you could start."I was doing that for both of my friends,if you could call Akihiro a friend.

That seemed to strike his interest,as he slowly turned to face me."Very well,I shall listen to you since it seems obvious you want to converse with me.However using a less demeaning method of attack would be appreciated."He walked back into my room and sat on the bed."I am not so proud that I would prefer you hesitating eating your dinner before continuing."

I felt my shoulders slouch with relief.With his 'permission' I gobbled down my sandwich quickly while Akihiro sat on my bed,arms crossed patiently.

He sorta reminds me of Shiina,from 'Angel Beats',except he's less like a ninja and more like a hunter.Plus Akihiro is quite intelligent.I grinned at the similarities between the two.Once I was finished with the sandwich I began talking with him,occasionally biting into a juicy strawberry.
