Second Chance

Prologue:A Choice Must be Made! Change Fate's Design, Akemi!

((AN:For this story, I'm only using the script form during Class Trials (if they occur). For the rest of it, I will be using story format. And the story will be part of Akemi's POV (unless it shifts to someone else's POV) Please enjoy! Also, a huge thank-you to my best friend, TheSaiyanJedi5 for help with the dialogue for this chapter!))

((Akemi's POV))

-Introduction-

I stood in a peaceful meadow. It was bright. The sun was beaming down onto my face. The wind blew softly and gently, like a tropical breeze. It was so hopeful, you wouldn't think that it was the Afterlife. Why am I here, you ask? Well...A few years ago at Hope's Peak Academy...I died. I know, I know...I don't look it. But it's true. After the love of my life, Mondo Oowada, was executed, I knew I couldn't live without him. So, with a heavy heart and without hesitation...I used my pocketknife to end my life. It was a selfish thing to do, I know that now...But it brought me back to the love of my life. And for that I'm grateful.

Anyway, I've been here a while. And during that time, I met Daiya Oowada. Mondo's big brother, and the man who taught him that a man's promise has to be kept. He's a really nice guy, and we hit it off almost immediately. And not too long after that, two familiar faces joined us. One of them was the victim that Mondo murdered. The Ultimate Programmer, Chihiro Fujisaki. And the other...Was my good friend Kiyotaka Ishimaru, the Ultimate Moral Compass. And ever since that day, it's just been us. Me, Mondo, Daiya, Taka, and Chihiro. We've had some really good times here. But for some reason...I get the feeling that those good times...Are about to end. 

-Story-

As I stood in the meadow, I smiled. Things were really peaceful here. At my side, Mondo smiled as well. You could tell by the look on his face that he was happy that I was. I sighed a little. "What's wrong Akemi?" Mondo asked, looking slightly concerned. I looked up at him and smiled, shaking my head. "It's just so strange..." I said. "If someone told me the day I'd entered Hope's Peak that I'd die to be with the man I loved...I'd have said they were crazy." Mondo chuckled slightly. "I can't say I blame you for thinkin' that...If someone told me that, I would've called them a moron or something," he admitted. 

That comment made me giggle a little, then I sighed. "Mondo...Would you change anything? About how we met at Hope's Peak?" I asked. He sighed. "I wouldn't change anything about how we met but if I could change anything...I wouldn't have killed Chihiro and put you through so much pain..." Saddened, I looked up to the sky. "Well...The past is the past, and we can't change it," I said softly. Mondo's voice sounded pained. "Yeah, but if we had the chance...!" He trailed off. I looked at him and decided to tell him what I'd do. "If we had the chance to do it over again...I'd stop you from killing Chihiro," I said. "I'd go into your room that night and...talk with you about your brother's accident." If I'd only done that...We wouldn't be here right now... I thought guiltily. 

Mondo looked down, feeling just as guilty as I did. "Yeah...I wish all the time that we did talk about it," he admitted. My eyes and expression softened. "Mondo..." I hugged him close. "It's okay. I know we wish these things, but...There's just no way to change them. I just wish...You and I...could've seen Tio again," I said. "Yeah..." Mondo said as he frowned, hugging me back. I looked down and smiled sadly. "I guess...I only have myself to blame," I said. It was true. I'd killed myself, therefore me not being able to see my brother again is my own fault. "That's wrong!" A familiar loud voice said from behind me. I turned and saw Taka standing behind me, his arms folded in their usual way when he chastised someone for breaking a rule. "Taka..." I said.
