    "Stick close to me, we need to move fast." She was swift. You couldn't even hear her footsteps as we rushed down the hallway. It was quiet, but not dark. We left Makoto in the washroom and even a few hallways down we heard Makoto yell at the small bear.

    Bingo, we're in the clear.

    We slowly came to a stop, after climbing the five flights of stairs. "We're here, aren't we?"

    "Wait outside for me, alert me if Monokuma is coming." She leaned over to unlock the door.

    "Shouldn't I follow you inside? It would only be more suspicious that I'm out here--directly out this door." I explained when the door made a clicking sound.

    She slid open the door and gave me one last glance. "Stay, doggy."

    'Did she just call me her bitch?!' I was left flabbergasted as she let a little chuckle escape her lips as she whisked away. I kicked my shoe in her direction slightly before closing the door.

    My heart raced the longer she took inside the room, from the outside i could hear her rustling around in the room. I felt like it was beating out of my chest, hundreds of things rushed through my mind.

    "Holy fuck! A warning! A warning please, Kyoko!" My heart stopped when she opened the door.

    "Where's the fun in that?"

    "Did you even get what you needed?!"

    "Trust me--Oh, and one more thing. You can't tell anyone else about what we've discovered."

    I sighed as she walked off. I followed the purpletee down the steps to where Makoto was waiting outside his dorm. We walked into our shared rooms until the next morning. I woke up in the worst mood imaginable, I felt so groggy and tired.

    I wasn't sick but it sure felt like it.

    Like previous nights, Chihiro ran into my room with more energy than the last and he dragged me out of my bed. He helped me get ready and we were out the door and to the dining room. I immediately rushed to the coffee maker.

    Celestia asked me to make her some tea and Yashihiro asked for coffee.... Somehow I ended up making refreshments for everyone that morning.

    I served everyone their drinks with their breakfast and I finally got to sit down and drink my own coffee. My body ached, 'I really need to take a nap...'

    Byakuya quickly scarfed down his food, we all jumped at his quick eating skills. He put down his fork and knife before clearing his throat.

    Mukuro pointed at his now empty plate, "Your food isn't going to run away from you, y'know?"

    "We have work to do. So, let's begin the usual post-trial investigation."

    "Hey, you didn't make small talk or anything?" Yashiro was flabbergasted, he was trying to get some of the eggs off my plate-- "We never just get straight to the point like that!"

    "He's right--bro get your fork out of my eggs!?" I battled my fork with his.

    "If you want to keep up with me, you must refrain from pointless small talk." Byakuya smirked at all of us.

    "At least you're using what Celestia said about...what was able to adapt to your situation?"

    Celestia looked a little shocked, but she quickly recovered. She grinned slightly at Mukuro's comment. "I believe I did say that..."

    "What were the words exactly? Adapt or perish, or whatever?"
    "A lack of adaptability...is a lack of survivability. Survival is not based on who is the strongest or the smartest. It comes down to who can adapt." Celestia's eyes twitched. "That, that is the correct answer."

    "Tomato tomato, potato potato." Mukuro waved her hands.

    "That...does not make any sense. It is not the same.."

    Aoi fumbled with her orange juice, "Jeez, how high is that horse of yours?"

    "Focus on the task at hand, people. Regardless, if you want to defeat the mastermind, you need to follow my lead." Byakyua crossed his arms, "They creep around the school like a mouse, but the mastermind's pride is as bloated as a cow's udder-- and no matter what it takes, I will rid this world of them..."

    "Hey, Toko...you've been pretty quiet." Hagakure bugged the poor purple tee, she seemed to ignore him. "Man, you're so boring now! You just sit there, like a mushroom. Gonna start calling you Miss Mushroom!"

    "She didn't snap back at you..." Aoi gasped.

    Mukuro choked a little on her eggs, "I-Is she sick?!"

    "I think you guys finally broke her." Mondo sighed, what's wrong with everyone today and acting weird?

    "Her talking makes things difficult. So I told her not to open her mouth without permission." Byakua explained, the entire room erupted into an outbreak.

    "What!? But if she can't open her mouth, she can't eat! Or drink water!"

    "I don't care."

    "And you're okay with that, Toko!?"

    Everyone shouted at the girl, trying to get her to at least say a single word. This was... concerning, I couldn't just watch, "You know that you don't have to take orders from this guy right? No matter how convincing he is or how attractive you think he is, you shouldn't allow yourself to get pushed around by him."

    "You think I'm attractive, hmm?"

    "You think he's attractive?" Mukuro let out a loud laugh, "allow me to rephrase what Y/N's failed to do. Don't listen to Byakuya, you don't need validation from any man, especially Byakuya."

    Still she was silent, Byakuya's face flashed red.

    "I beg your pardon, I'm right here."

    "Jeez, how low is that rock you're hiding under...?" Yashihrio sighed, he successfully managed to snag one of my eggs however.

    "Dude! You have your own!"

New Achievement Unlocked:
Eggless...

    "Yeah, but yours are way better!" He whined, I stabbed my fork lightly into his side and grumbled, "Maybe don't add so much oil?!"

    "I believe this is the small talk Byakuya warned us against." Kyoko sighed as she took a long drink from her coffee cup. Not one person said thank you for making them their drinks?! Only really Chihiro and Celestia.

    "And yet...I let myself get involved. But it is now finished. I will never allow you to drag me down to your level again." He crossed his arms, 'what a princess', "We're going to begin our search. Stop running your mouths and start moving your legs."

Pressured by an obviously irritated Byakuya, we all started our exploration.
