Are You Our Hope Or Despair?

Chapter 2: Eyes Met

Makoto's POV...

Hope's Peak Academy. A place for "The best of the best", students who reached the top point of their limits and whoever enrolls there are called the "Ultimate". I, a normal highschool student, got randomly chosen to be accepted by this famous school.

I cant say how I did but it must mean that my outstanding trait must be my luck. Super good luck. For those who wants to be enrolled, one must be the top in their field of expertise and they all have to be highschoolers. So, knowing that, theres no need  any reason why I was chosen.

Standing beyond at the school's entrance gate with a paper on my hand, I dazed at it in amazement and smiled. I remember muttering words to myself that time and that feels me with determination. An optimistic feeling overflowed through my body as I step in. But, instead of taking a step forward, my head gotten a huge impact somehow and I.................

For some reason, loss consciousness and woke up from those sudden events. Knowing we got abducted, trapped inside a dark version of the school I dreamed to enroll in, and a monster like bear who is our principal. Our only way to escape was to graduate...and its by killing someone without being caught.

Theres no way Im doing such a thing. I can picture my own self if I did. I'll lose my humanity if I killed someone. So, for now, I'll find another way without killing anyone...somehow

"...would you mind swapping rooms with me just for tonight?"

At first, I was against by this, but after hearing her reasons, I ended up giving her the key to my room. I gave her some tips about the bathroom door then we heard Monokuma broadcasting about the time. Telling us to go to our rooms and head to bed.

After saying our goodbyes, Sayaka closed the door. Though from that point, I felt uneasy of some kind and the latter embarassed of what I did. I ended up sighing and looked quickly around the name plates of the room. It was next to mine. I used the swapped key and twist it but then again, I felt embarassed cause Im using inside a girls room.

Ah...I feel embarassed now..maybe I should head to the kitchen and have a drink for the time being..but now that I mentioned this I havent drank any..how many days have I been unconscious..or slept? I cant tell or remember why? Argh...stop thinking too much..

Just then I heard a metal clang then followed by someone falling. Seeing this on my way, I ran towards the person who got hurt from the impact. I dont know why I shouted at him but I can tell that he flinch that time. Did I call out in a bad timing?

During from that point, a boy, a slightly bit taller, faced me yet kept his face on the rugged floor hallways. He has a white hair and was wearing some kind of black styled material. From my relief mood, I kinda took a glimpse on his hand, it seems like his hiding something. But within further inspection, his nails were black.

Could he be hiding his nails..?
Why would he hide them?

I got curious and instanly took his hand towards my face, "Whats this?" I asked with a curious and yet serious expression. "What happened to them? Its like they are born black.."

Kaneki's POV...

This is bad..his holding my hand..Is he forcing me to look at him?..but, if I do that...he'll see them..I..I've got to get out of this situation..

From my thoughts, I quickly nudge my hand away from his grip. I can feel myself sweating with frustration but still kept my face on the floor not trying to slip a single glance at him.

"Um-..."

"Please...leave me alone.." I muttered, begging him to leave me and ended up taking my stance to run as possible.

Makoto's POV...

"Leave you alo-..." I got surprise by his actions to run away. Though still I also ended up chasing him throughout every corners he turns. I can still see him in sight but damn, I cant even reach him nor compete with his speed. His too fast to catch up with.

Then, when he turned to a corner, I followed him the same but found him standing in a dead end with a metal plate closed up window. His trapped and I soon caught him by tagging him on front as he turned. I grab hold of him as he lay there giving up without making much force.

"What do you want?" he simply said with his eyes closed. But his words were emotionless.

"You...why did you ran away?" I answered with a possible reason.

He answered me by silence and refused to speak any further. From this, I eventually sighed from this but then a thought came to me. I felt enraged after that and tug his rubber like suit towards my face.

"Hey, could you be the person whos been forcing to come inside Sayaka's room!?" I slightly yelled at him. So I wont make any attention to the others.

"Sayaka..?" muttered the boy, not understanding anything what I said, "forcing to come inside someones room? Im sorry to say this but Im not the guy your looking for.." he muttered in a low emotionless voice.

"Then prove it to me...face me then"

There was silence again till he answered, "Are you sure about that?"

I seriously dont know why I want to see his face that much especially his eyes which he keeps hiding them. But I felt a bit unease about this though still, Im curious. I face him with a assured answer, "yes..please open your eyes"

"Okay then.." a slow movement on his eyes was lifted and showed me an unbelievable sight. I was expecting someting like a blind eye or was just his normal ones but what he showed was neither of my expectations.
He has a grey eye which seemed emotionless but, on his other was surrounded with black while leaving a bloody scarlet red at its center. Our eyes finally met but what would an ordinary person can say to this?

Monster..
