Toko POV:

I sat there, tears streaming down my face once again, unable to cope with the fact that there was a killer among one of us.

"W-Who did this...Y-You bastard!." Junko was the first one to say, after a long uncomfortable silence.

"Whoever did this, I'll give you a nice beating to the skull. Maybe you'll finally get some sense into you." Mondo added.

"MONDO OWADA! VIOLENCE IS NOT TOLERATED IN A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT!  I ADVISE YOU TO NOT HURT ANY OF YOUR CLASSMATES, EVEN IF THEY'RE THE KILLER!" Ishamaru yelled, making Mondo glare at him in return.

"Well, looks like that policy doesn't apply anymore...." Mondo returned back.

Ishamaru looked hurt by these words but he tried to pretend like these words didn't affect him, when in fact they did. That's another thing I had learned from yesterday. Ishamaru told me he was great at acting as if nothing bothered him, but inside he was very sensitive. Knowing, this I tried to wipe my tears away and got up, pointing a finger at Mondo.

"H-Hey you! No need to say those things to my, friend. He was j-just trying to help all of us, but instead your being extremely rude. T-Take it back now." I declared.

"OH YEAH DON"T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT CRYBABY! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I COULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!" He responded.

"Eep-" I shrieked.

"Mondo, seriously stop it. Ishamaru was just trying to keep peace during this difficult time, and here you are acting like you might be the killer. of this situation" Makato exclaimed, while comforting Sayaka and Aoi.

"I-I" Mondo stammered out.

"Oh, keep it to yourself, you vile plebeian! I have some better stuff to listen than to your nonsense." Byakuya said.

~I-Is Byakuya defending me? I mean he probably isn't, because he hates me, I'm sure of it, but from what he said it looks like he was standing up for me. But how do I know? Maybe if I smile at him and he remains neutral or even smiles back, I'll know what he meant by that.

Flashing a smile at Byakuya, I saw his face scrunch up into something of disgust, but then turned back to his neutral expression, give me a small nod, and continued searching Chihiro's dead body. 

~Well, at first he scrunched up his face, but then he gave me a nod! I think he likes me. Maybe he understands that our fate is to be together. Oh, that would be great.

Too caught up in my thoughts, I didn't realize Ishamaru came over to me, while everyone was either talking or investigating the body, until he coughed and looked at me.

"Hey, thanks Toko for helping me with Mondo...I'm glad you were listening to what I said yesterday about how sensitive I am when people say things like that." Ishamaru spoke.

"Oh, sure! No problem! I didn't think that I did much considering I was stuttering but I tried!" I replied.

"Well, thank you again! At least one good thing may come out of this." Ishamaru started.
