Life After Hope's Peak

Chapter 51 - Escaping

*Kyoko's pov*

I was so glad that Toko and Makoto were safe and now here with us but still I had a job. The next morning I got up early and left Makoto to sleep whilst I went to start the day. Honestly I hated working here but I had pissed Madame off so much recently I wouldn't be surprised if she blew me up. I couldn't let that happen though as I needed to get my kids back before I died. Also I didn't want my kids to be told that their mother was killed because she pissed off a rich woman that wasn't the way I wanted to go.

Downstairs I grabbed my cleaning supplies and went to the main hall to wash the floors. Whilst I was mopping the floors there was a loud knock at the door. I looked at it and thought, who could be here at this time in the morning? I left my water and mop and went to the door to answer it. On the doorstep a young man stood with another person who had his hands bound and head in a bag.

"Can I help you?" I asked him.

"Yes my young Master sent me to give Madame Autumn one of our newest servants, he is disrespectful and rude" he told me.

"Does Madame know abour this?" I asked him.

"Yes anyway here he is, I shall take my leave and bid you farewell" he bowed before walking off and leaving the guy with the bag on his head.

I sighed before grabbing his arm and saying, "come with me and I'll show you inside"

The guy said nothing but I lead him through the main hall and into a room just off to the side. I was going to take him down to the kitchen but I needed to free his head first.

Inside the room I closed the door and sat him down on a chair. I then got a knife and cut his hands free and then began to work on removing the bag from his head. The bag had been tied on with rope which was done in several knots to keep it from coming off.

"The bag won't budge so stay still and I'll just cut it off with the knife" I told him as I began to hack away at the bag trying to avoid his face.

Finally he was free and he looked at me and I just looked back. Out of everyone it could have been it turned out to be Byakuya in there. He had a gag in his mouth which I took out and the first thing he said to me was "I thought I reconised that annoying voice of yours Kyoko"

"And aren't I frilled to see you too Byakuya" I sighed.

Byakuya quickly got up and looked down at me.

"Ha you are the maid for this place aren't you" he smirked.

"Yes and why are you here?" I asked him.

"They wanted me to serve some rich posh kid and I just refused and told them they can fuck off" he smiled.

"Not terribly smart" I sighed.

"Look at you though you have one of those explosive bands on because you went along with them" he growled as a come back.

"I just didn't want to be killed or left out on the streets alone" I told him.

"Hmm, well that's your problem" he replied.

"You didn't really seem to pick the smart way either" I commented.

"I come from a rich family so I don't have to lower my self to be like you peasants" he smiled smugly.

I just shook my head as I walked towards the door so I could carry on my job.

Back out in the hall I picked up my mop and began to wash the floor. Byakuya had followed me out and was just sat on the stairs watching me. I was pleased he was okay but also slightly annoyed that he hadn't really had the experience the rest of us had had. I was almost done when at the top of the stairs, my name was shouted. Quickly I looked up and saw Madame looking down at me, she didn't look happy.
