Danganronpa. A world without Junko

Part 17

Tsumugi shivered in delight. "The despair is enthralling! But don't get too cocky. I still have hostages-" Tsumugi gaped at the hole Maki's robot had blown in the side of the robot. "No you don't." Maki reloaded her beam.
From the base, Kokichi grinned. "You're good at this game." He said. Maki sighed. "I'll do what It takes to kill that b-" "Okay! I think he's charged." Miu said gesturing to Keebo. Kokichi beamed. "Yay!" His features then twisted into mischievously planning. "We'll need him for the last rescue."
Maki's robot had successfully gotten her classmates from the prison.
Tsumugi grinned. "Yes I do." She circled around Rantaro like a snake. She took some of his hair in her fingers. "And what happens to your precious Rantaro if you continue to wreck all my hard work?" She asked picking up a gun. Kokichi's Robot pauses.
From the academy, Kokichi cursed. "She has Rantaro a-and Kirumi!" Miu said. "What do we do?" Maki asked. Kokichi gritted his teeth. Then he perked up. He grinned. "Nee hee hee..... KIRUMI!" He asked. She looked at the robot in front of the screen. "I REQUEST YOU TO BREAK OUT AND JOIN THE OTHERS!" Kokichi yelled. Kirumi's eyes turned serious. "Understood." She said. Tsumugi gasped. "Why you-!"
Kirumi burst out of the chains using a gun to shoot the remote on Tsumugi with her teeth. Rantaro squirmed But Tsumugi held him in his chair. Kirumi then flying front kicked the screen and jumped aboard the robot that Kokichi had. "We'll come back for you Rantaro!" Kokichi said. Rantaro nodded. Tsumugi Frowned. "Oh well. It's not boring. Puhuhuhuhuh." She giggled. Rantaro looked at her. "Why." "Hmm?" "Why are you doing this?" He asked. She laughed and looked into his eyes. "You asked me before." She squatted and put her hand on his knee. "And I told you then. There's no problem. It's just fiction." "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!" "I love manga." "You make no sense!" Rantaro said. He frowned. Maybe if I can distract her for long enough, I can tell what she's planning....
Kokichi and Maki flew their friends back to the academy. They landed right where Tsumugi's giant robot had wrecked it. Kaito grinned. "I was planning on wrecking that stupid monokuma fountain anyways." He said. Angie pouted. "Aw But thats Where Atua gets inspiration for art!" She said looking at the puddle of muddy water and crushed marble it had become. "Be careful! The glass could cut your feet." Kaede said. Maki and Miu ran out to welcome them back. Kirumi hopped out of the robot. She dusted herself off and welcomed everyone with a warm smile. A smile that wasn't a servants facade. A genuine happy smile. Shuichi notes this and smiled at the now warm feeling in his chest. They were okay. "Where's Rantaro?" Kaede asked. "Did he come with you?" She asked Kirumi. She shook her head, the warm feeling and smile gone. Gone like that god awful fountain. Shuichi noted. He stared at the hole that stretched across the fountain. Angie seemed to be the only disappointed one.
Kokichi jostled a sleeping Keebo from his spot on the floor covered in blankets that Kokichi had placed and a teddy bear. "Is that necessary?!" An exasperated Maki has asked. Kokichi looked up at her and had said "Absolutely."
Maki rolled her eyes while thinking about the cuteness of Kokichi and Keebo. Kaito was hugging her and she was positively embarrassed. Everyone laughed or cooed. Kirumi looked annoyed that a rule could potentially be broken.
"Hey Keebo. Wakey Wakey. We need you for a rescue mission. It's important." Kokichi shook him awake. Keebo jumped up with a start. "Ah! Kokichi! I'm sorry I forgot to charge myself!" He said. Kokichi smiled. "It's okay. But we need you to rescue Rantaro from Tsumugi. And I have a plan." Kokichi's purple eyes gleamed with mischief. Keebo swallowed. He had known that look. That look meant trouble.
