Life After Hope's Peak

Chapter 8 - Police Investigation

*Kyoko's pov*

When I woke up in the morning Byakuya and Asahina had both left for work early so they wouldn't get involved with the police questioning. Toko was still fast asleep it had taken her hours to settle down and now she had crashed. She couldn't stop crying, shaking and her breathing got really out of control up until the point she collapsed from tiredness. A part of me was worried she may give her self a heart attack. I had stayed awake with her just to prevent her from doing anything rash or if she did collapse I could help her.

I got up and got dressed before leaving Toko to sleep and I went to grab some breakfast. Makoto was already awake and he had made me some toast.

"Morning" he said cheerfully to me.

"It is" I replied, I was worrying about this investigation on Toko.

"I know you won't be thinking about this but I'm sorry about what happened yesterday" he apologised as he gave me two slices of toast.

"What are you sorry about?" I asked as I knew what he was getting at but I wasn't sure why.

"It was just irresponsible of me to do that with out any sort of protection" he told me.

I smiled at him "we were both in the wrong really, and anyway it doesn't matter"

"Did you manage to get anything to prevent the pregnancy?" He asked.

"Yeah I have already taken it this morning, we should be fine" I told him, to be honest I felt a bit odd inside but I brushed it aside.

*Makoto's pov*

I was relieved that she had managed to get something to stop the pregnancy as I don't think I'm ready for a family yet. But there was still a part of me that felt bad for what happened. Surprisingly she wasn't mad with me about it. She was really chilled out. I was glad that I could now officially call her mine and that we could share memories together whilst this lasted.

We ate and talked about the police and my job for a while until Toko got up. She dragged herself into the living room and slumped down onto the floor. I looked down at her and I could see her shaking and quivering. Kyoko got up and moved away from her she seemed to be on edge about something. She could sense something that I couldn't. I followed her lead and then Toko looked up at us, her eyes had gone an odd shape. Sho was clawing her way out of her and it was completely against her will.

"I-I can't control it" she stuttered.

Her mood then suddenly changed "I will murder everyone of ya!" she growled at us.

Kyoko handed me her plate with a half eaten slice of toast remaining on it as she went over to Toko.

"You have to for our sake, it will protect us and Byakuya" she told her.

"I-I need t-to leave before I-I get you all in trouble" she said as she clawed at the floor and tried to get up but Kyoko held her down.

"You are staying here with us, I won't let them take you"

Toko was in her pajamas and she had left her glasses in her room, she bearly looked the same. Her hair was out of the brades and was messy. But also she looked awful, her skin was dull and she looked really unwell.
A loud knock came at the door and we all froze, "police open up!" Was then shouted through the door.

"Makoto let them in, Toko remain calm and follow my lead okay we will all still be here to eat dinner tonight" Kyoko said she seemed to know what she was doing.

I was only in my boxers and a loose vest but still I unlocked the door and opened it. I still had our plates in my hand. On the other side of the door there were two police officers and Kyoko's boss the head of the police.
