No Such Thing as Romance (Byakuya Togami x Reader Fanfiction)

Chapter 11

After a long back-and-forth of questions and answers, you understood that Byakuya planned to test the students abilities. Byakuya claimed that Mondo had killed Chihiro; he had witnessed it all. He explained how he wanted to rearrange the crime scene, and gave you instructions on how to do so.

"I'm going to the library to retrieve a rope. I want you to move the corpse to that exercise equipment." Byakuya instructed you, then left the room.

Byakuya returned a few minutes later, and the two of you worked to string up the girl's corpse using a cord.

"BLOODLUST. On this side of the body." Byakuya pointed to the wall behind the corpse.

"I'm not going to write with blood, that's disgusting!" You denied the order.

He rolled his eyes. "Fine." He dipped a few fingers in the crimson substance, then began writing his message.

"Is this really necessary?" You watched him.

"Certainly. I can assess the ability of my classmates in this upcoming trial. It'll be easier to commit homicide if I know what I'm up against."

"What if they never find out who the murderer is?"

"I'll reveal once I think they've given up."

You watched him for a few moments. He moved swiftly between puddle and wall.
L.  I"You're really okay with killing off all your classmates just to escape?"

"Yes."

"There's something wrong with you."

"I could say the same about you." Byakuya stood up, examining his work. "We're done here. Next morning, not a word, understand?"

You nodded. We'll see how this goes, I guess.

The following morning, the body of Chihiro was discovered in the girls locker room. After an investigation, the class trial began.

You zoned out for most of it, up to the point to where Byakuya was convicted. The truth of Chihiro's gender was discovered, and soon Byakuya's innocence was proven.

"Byakuya, did you really tamper with the crime scene?" Makoto asked for the umpteenth time.

"Certainly. I'm sure you could attest to that." He turned to you.

Dammit, why'd I have to get pulled into this?

"Uh, yeah. He tampered with it." You mumbled.

"Seriously?!" Hina exclaimed. "Did you help him?"

"Yeah, I did."

Gasps and murmurs followed.

Whatever.

The trial ended with Mondo's execution.

Weeks passed. Celeste was discovered as a murderer and executed. Sakura's corpse was discovered and soon the victim turned out to be the perpetrator. There was some argument between Kyoko and Byakuya, an argument Byakuya ended up losing.

And, through a long and intense debate, the 7 remaining students defeated Junko Enoshima. The fashionista mastermind was executed, and Makoto received the main door key.

Again, you zoned out for the dramatic conversation the students had at the door, but you were startled when the blonde spoke to you.

"Thanks."

You looked at him. "For what?"

He was silent for a few moments. "...I'll tell you later."

You shrugged and turned to the door that began opening.
