Academy Of Murder

Chapter 9

Alive Students: 10

Chiya's P.O.V

"Gyahhahahahaha! You guys should have seen your faces! The look of fear and despair! This is the best trial ever!" I heard Monokuma laugh as my sky blue eyes were wide as I shook in fear while hiding my face on Nao's shoulder. That execution was very very cruel. I do know that Miyu deserved that for killing her best friend and almost killed me, but this? Did she really deserve that ending?

"*sigh* It is such a shame that this is over now, but at least it was fun to watch! I already can't wait for the next murder! This is so exciting!" It said as it spun around with a jolly smile on its face. "Now leave! I have a new motive to prepare! Upupupu~!" And with that, Monokuma disappeared with a poof.

After the bear vanished, I felt Nao's grip on me slowly releasing. "It's okay. You can look. It's over now." He whispered as I removed my face of his shoulder. I looked at him first. He smiled at me, but I could tell that this smile was fake. I could see the fear in his eyes. I then looked at the others. Demiyah was still unconcious, but Masayasu held her on his back with her arms around his shoulders. Everyone looked at the black TV screen above us in fear, even Tetsu and Miwa.

"W-We better should...get out of here." Miwa muttered as she walked towards the elevator behind us. The others walked towards the elevator as Nao helped me up and dragged me to the elevator as he gently held my hand.

"They..cut her head off." Yukito whispered with a hint of fear in his voice. "They just freaking cut her head off with those scissors, dude!"

Tetsu, who was walking next to him, hit him on his head with her fist. "Don't repeat that, your idiot!" She muttered in anger.

We all went inside the elevator and it went up. During our time in the elevator, everyone was completely silent and it stayed silent when we went out of the elevator. Everyone left the gym within a few seconds, except me and Nao.

"Chiya-chan? Is it..okay for you that I bring you to your dorm?" He asked as he looked at me.

"Y-Yes please." I said softly with the hint of fear in my voice. The grip on his hand tightened a bit as we both walked out of the gym and through the hallways. It was silent and I could only hear my fast heartbeat. I looked at Nao's back as he was walking in front on me. My heartbeat quickened as I remembered that he saved me from Miyu's and her insanity. I was relieved and scared at the same time. I was relieved that Nao saved my life, but scared when Miyu turned insane and nearly killed me.

"Nao. Thank you." I muttered softly as I looked at his back with a sad smile.

Nao moved his head a little up and I could feel him tense up a bit. "Huh? For what?" He asked confused.

"For saving me and standing up for me, of course." I said as I looked down a bit. "If it wasn't for you and Suma, we might have never figure it out. And that you protected me from Miyu..." I blushed as I sadly looked away. I realized that if Miyu did stab, then Nao would get injured or even worse.

Suddenly Nao stopped walking and his grip faded a bit. I thought that we were already there, but it turns out that we stopped at his door. Nao turned around and his other hand grabbed the hand that he still held my hand. My blush increased as I felt the grip from his hands and his handsome face without the clown makeup.

"Chiya-chan, you don't have to thank me." He said with a gentle smile on his face. "After all, you, Suma en everyone else are important to me." He let one hand go of mine and ruffled my hair. Normally I would hate that if someone did that, but I can't help but smile.

After a minute, he stopped touching my hair, let go of my hand and opened his door. "Be right back, okay? I have to get something." He said as he disappeared through the doorway and went inside. While I was waiting patiently, I was wondering what he was going to get. I soon got my answer when he came back with a soft puppy plush in his hands. "I want you to have this." He said as he gave it to me.
