AN:Hey everyone! I know I said that the chapter I updated recently was going to be the final chapter, but then I thought..."What would happen if Akemi chose to live instead of to commit suicide. And if she did, who would convince her to? After many hours of debate, the final outcome was this chapter. Please enjoy. :) Also, the picture on top is the AI version of Mondo that Alter Ego allows Akemi and Taka to see.
((Akemi's POV))
Akemi:*Murder number two. Gender-bending Chihiro Fujisaki. Murdered by the man I loved more than anything, Mondo Oowada. But why? Why is the person running this place so bent on turning us into monsters?! The day after Mondo's trial, we were granted access to the third floor. No signs of an out there; surprise, surprise. We're still trapped like ANIMALS. And help is DEFINITELY NOT on the way. So, same as before. Our situation is desperate.*
-Dining Hall, Morning. Two days later-
Akemi:*I walked into the Dining Hall and sat beside Taka. He looked terrible. His eyes were still in that void stare of horror they'd been in since Mondo's execution.* Poor Taka...He hasn't said a word...Since Mondo's execution...*I did what any kind friend would do in my situation and placed my hand gently over his* Taka...I know you're hurting inside...I am too. But...I want you to know...If you need me...I'm here for you. After all...That is what Mondo would want. Right?
Taka:*remains silent*
Byakuya:A waste of time, princess. The little peasant refuses to speak since Oowada was turned into butter.
Akemi:*I shot a death glare at Byakuya* At least I'm TRYING to cheer him up! All you seem to be doing is putting him down and setting him back FARTHER! So if you've got something positive to say to Taka, then fine! Say it! If not, then you can take your sulky, rich-boy ass OUT OF HERE! Because the last thing Taka needs is for you to remind him of what happened!
Byakuya:*growls angrily and leaves, mumbling something under his breath*
Akemi:*I turned my attention back to Taka* Taka...Mondo wouldn't want you to sulk like this. H-he'd want you...To be happy. He'd want us...to be friends. To talk and laugh like we used to. I need my best friend back. I need you back, Taka. We all do.
Taka:*still silent, despite my attempts to cheer him up*
Akemi:*I took Taka's hand in my own and squeezed it gently. Reassuringly, even. No matter what, I had to let Taka know I was still there for him if he needed me.* I'm not giving up on you. The Taka I know is still in there somewhere. He just needs the right motivation to come out.
Taka:...
Monokuma:*appears on the Dining Hall Monitor and laughs* Hop to it, half-asses! Toddle yourselves to the Gymnasium on ze double! And don't get lost on the way! Explanation is forthcoming! *disappears as the monitor goes black*
Hina/Sakura/Kyoko/Makoto/Hifumi/Celeste:*head to the Gym*
Taka:*gets up on his own, as if he were a robot, and starts to walk away*
Akemi:*I grabbed his hand gently before he left* You're nuts if you think I'm letting you walk to the Gym all by yourself, Taka. I'm your friend. And I'll always be by your side, no matter what. Because...That's what friends are for. *I smiled*
