   Byakuya and I just roamed around keeping an eye out to see if any danger comes by. Monokuma showed up and asked, "Why aren't you dead, (L/N)?!" "I...uh..." I got Cut off.

   "Listen! I was hoping that someone would get murdered or executed today, but you stopped that with your stupid, ugly, useless, and worthless gift! You used to be my favorite student...but now you're just pissing me off!!" He exclaimed. I didn't say anything,  but Byakuya did.

    "Her gift is more powerful than you. You're just jealousy, is all. It's not useless, or worthless or ugly and it's certainly not stupid. It's a unique, special good luck charm. And I'm glad that out of all the people in the world, she has it. Now, if you don't mind, we were just going to grab some coffee. And my secret that was sooooo bad. I'm not ashamed of it anymore. So you  can kiss that goodbye."

    I was a blushing mess. H-he said that.... for me. He took my hand and we walked away to the café. Monokuma growled and disappeared. I wasn't talking because of how red I was. He looked over and noticed, and he got red too.

   "I uh....uh... t-thank you..." I said. "You're welcome, cutie." He replied. He made me even more red. UGHHH.

   We walked to the kitchen and made our coffee. Just then, Sonia came in. She hugged me really tight. "You should be resting! Are you hurt? Are you okay?!" She asked. "Oh no, I'm fine, really I am. Thank you for asking." I said. She let out a huge breath of relief. "I was so worried! Why would Chiaki do such a thing?" She asked. "I don't know...was her secret that bad?' I asked her. She shrugged. "Well I'm just glad you're okay.  I was just grabbing food for her. Well, I'll talk to you later! Bye!" She said , quickly grabbing a container of vanilla ice cream and a spoon. She waved and left.

  Byakuya and I walked over to our table. I sat across from him. He looked where my injured spot was. "I'm just really....amazed and happy . That you survived those deep stabs and that you have a gift. You've always had a gift, though." He said. I blushed and giggled. Then I stopped, i looked at him and he looked at me. "What's up?" He asked. "Uh..okay so, when I was at Chiaki's cottage, I notice a picture on her night stand. She was standing next to someone....who looked exactly like monokuma, but human...." I said.

   He just stared ate confused. "That's...odd.." he said. "Yeah..hmmm...my gut has this...feeling.." I said. He raised his eyebrows at me. "What are you thinking?" He asks. "What if...what if Chiaki tried to kill me because...because her secret was that she was friends o-or even friends with the mastermind? And that's whose in the picture with her. And that picture didn't even look like it was taken here. " I told him. He eyes went big. "You know, you're really smart. You're a genius. " He marked. I blushed and nervously giggled. "Oh uh...I'm not that smart." I said. He smiled. "You are!" He said. I smiled back.

    After our coffee, I called monokuma. "Ugh, WHAT?!" He shouted. "Could you unlock Chiaki's door for me?" I asked. He sighed. "Why?" He asked. "Because...well...she tried to kill me. I want to know her secret. I want to get...somewhere. " I said. He poured, but listened. He lead us to Chiaki's cottage and unlocked the door. "There." He said then disappeared.

      Byakuya and I walked in and I speed-walked to the picture. I picked it up and showed Byakuya. He stared at it. "You're right. That does look like monokuma..." He said. "Mhm. It's weird." I said. "Indeed it is." He remarked. He gave me the picture and looked at another picture. It was the first picture I noticed before Chiaki attacked me. You know, that one with her and her friends? Yeah, that one. I never really looked at it, though.

"There he is again." He said pointing to the same person on the other picture. "huh...it is." Says I. He grabbed it and put it in his pocket. He took the other picture from my hand and put that in his pocket as well. We investigated some more. I looked under her bed and saw her game consoles. I grabbed all of them and examined them. One didn't look like a console, it had three buttons on it. One said Emergency, the other had Move and the other, Talk. What was this used for?

    Byakuya looked over my shoulder and saw what I was holding. He read the buttons. "Do you know what this is?" He asked. "No, but I think we should keep it. After, we should go visit Chiaki and ask her. " I said. "Right."

   We looked a bit more , but saw nothing else. I sighed, "Well, I think that's it ." Byakuya nodded. We left Chiaki's cottage and then headed on over to the abandoned building. When we arrived, we walked to her room. She was still tied up and she stopped crying but she still looked like a mess. No one was in there, luckily. Byakuya locked the door behind us.  Chiaki looked up and her breathing got heavy.

   I sat down in front of her while Byakuya leaned against the wall. We both stared down at her as I took the three items from Byakuya's hands.

    I lyed them on the floor and she gasped. "What are these?" I asked. "Uh..what are you talking about? Which item?" She asks. I sighed, "let's start with these pictures. You see, there is a person in both of these pictures with you and they look awfully like monokuma. Why is that?" I ask. She went silent. "Okay then, what's this?" I ask holding up the weird-three-button-thing. She closed her eyes.

    "Chiaki, give me answers!" I told her. Tears were strolling down her face. "Uh...i-i'm f-friends with t-the m-mastermind...." She confesses. Me and Byakuya were shocked. "Good girl. Now what's this?" I ask again about the button thingy. "Hhhh...I'm not only friends with him...I also w-work for h-him." She confessed again . "Was that your secret? Was that why you tried to kill me? " I asked. She nodded. I smiled at her then got up. Me and Byakuya kept the items and left. We went to our cottage and talked things out.
