Eternal Friends (Discontinued)

Plane Of Existence

"Dude, you've seriously never had soda before?" Mondo was bothering Byakuya on his food choices yet again.

"Why would I..?" Byakuya spoke somewhat quietly, trying not to alert the other members of Future Foundation. It was currently 12 pm and Byakuya was sitting in his office, drinking coffee. While no one was around him currently, he could still be heard if talking loud enough.

"Because its fucking good?? Jeez, you're more boring than I thought."

Chihiro chimed in from behind Mondo, currently braiding the other boy's hair.  "That's not true! Byakuya's very interesting! He has a habit of wearing blue jeans only on Sundays and I think that's pretty cool..."

"That's the lamest shit ive ever heard"

"That's an awful example..." Byakuya sighed, slender fingers tapping against the keyboard. He wasn't fully focused on the work in front of him, but it's not like his full focus was in the conversation at hand either.

"Well, the books he reads are interesting! Like 'The Maze Runner'! I liked that one..!" Chihiro retorted, doing a little clap of excitement.

"Wasn't payin attention. Books are fuckin boring." Mondo scoffed, leaning his head in his hand as his arm rested on his leg.

"They're not!"

"You still haven't proved ya point." Mondo crossed his arms, then suddenly perked his head up. He turned to Chihiro, a confused expression on his face. "Chi, you felt that??"

"Y-Yeah.. I did..." Chihiro looked around nervously, playing with his jacket sleeves.

"Sorry, that was me..."

Byakuya shot his head up at the somewhat familiar voice, until he noticed who it was. "Hello, Mukuro."

"Oh hey! Find a way to help me out?" Mondo asked eagerly, perking up from his originally relaxed position.

"You ask that every time.. And the answer is always no." Mukuro responded in a somewhat annoyed tone. "But I'm not here to chat."

"Then what are you here for?" Byakuya didn't bother to turn to her, the statement coming out as blunt as ever.

"Its a long story..." Mukuro looked away, her hands fidgeting together out of a nervous habit.

"Spit it out, I don't have all day."

"Its just that... I was told to tell you...."

"Look Muku, I love ya but you're really slow." Mondo spoke as he hopped off the desk, watching Byakuya place the white mug to his lips.

"That Makoto can also hear and see us.."

What.

What..?!?

Makoto could hear them????

He spit out his coffee in complete shock, whisper-shouting in an attempt to not alert anyone. "Why didn't you tell me before?!?"

"I thought you knew."

Thought I knew..????

No no, this is unbelievable. There's no way she seriously thought I knew this whole time and didn't say anything. She must be lying.

"W-Well if he can see them, why didn't Makoto realize they're talking to me?" He gestured towards Mondo and Chihiro, still not believing Mukuro.

"It's kind of hard to explain, but we exist on different planes of existence. I can go into your head and let you see and talk to me. But when I get out or switch minds, you can no longer see or hear me. He couldn't see or here Chihiro and Mondo because they're in your plane." Mukuro moved her hands around, gesturing in different ways attempting to form an explanation.

"B-But he can... Right?? If we go to his plane, we can escape?!??" Mondo cheered, the thought of escaping this eternal confinement.

Chihiro sighed, turning to the larger boy. "You don't have to be so mean about it..."

"No, you can't." Mukuro continued, explaining further. "You're confined to this space due to your traumatic interactions. You can't escape until he dies, basically."

"FUCK!" Mondo yelled, attempting to throw a punch at the wall. Which failed, and his hand fazed right through.

"Just great..." Byakuya sighed, grabbing a napkin and wiping up the coffee he had made a slight mess of. "So you aren't confined to a plane of existence because the person who hurt you most is dead."

"Exactly. I can go wherever, even to the afterlife."

"Freedom must feel fan-fuckin-tastic."

"Its actually pretty annoying.. Travelling through planes of existence is draining. And Junko's constantly asking me for things."

"Wait.. YOU CAN GET US SHIT"

"Oh no..."

"Get me the loudest fucking thing you can."

"Please don't-"

"Leave her alone Mondo..." Chihiro interrupted the back and forth.

"Fine fine, but I do want some snacks. NOTHING WITH BUTTER."

"Hehe, that I can do." Mukuro chuckled at his comment.

"Anyway.... You've explained a lot, thank you, Mukuro!" Chihiro smiled at the other.

"Hm? Oh, it was no problem..."

"Now.. If you're done here, I should get back to work."

"Ah yes, that's fair."

"Tell Makoto to meet me in the library at 10 pm." He ended the conversation, still wiping down the table from his earlier spit take.

"My pleasure, have fun being stuck together for eternity!" Mukuro giggled, vanishing from Byakuya's sight.

"MONDO NO-!"
