Chapter 11 | The Search for Byakuya

Start from the beginning
                                        

"But what? Stop trying to force your contradictions on me and just accept what I'm telling you.

"Um..." Chihiro says, struggling to find her words.

"Yes? If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, keep your mouth closed." Byakuya says, turning away from Chihiro.

"Shut up." Byakuya then turns to me, glaring.

"It's not like we'd want to be friends with a sick bastard like you." I say, glaring up at him.

I then turn my attention away from him, trying to calm myself down before I start yelling.

"I-I'm sorry..." Chihiro mutters, looking down at the ground.

"You shouldn't have to apologize to him, Chihiro. You didn't nothing wrong." Saki assures her, placing a hand on the smaller girl's shoulder.

"Hey, shithead! You get off on bullying people that can't fight back? You wanna try that on me!?" Mondo shouts.

"So, you're back to pretending to be friends, huh? And how long do you think that's going to last?" Byakuya asks.

"Fuck you!" Mondo shouts.

"Is that all you can say? It's unfortunate you would waste your breath on such empty gibberish." Byakuya says.

"That's it! You're fuckin' dead!" Mondo says, cracking his knuckles again.

"H-Hold on! Just calm down!" Hina exclaims

"I AM calm!" Mondo shouts.

"How is this "calm"!?" Hina asks him.

"Anyway...I don't have any intention of working with the rest of you any longer. To cooperate during an elimination game is... Well, frankly, it's a waste of time. And I hate wasting my time." Byakuya says.

"Waste of time...?" Makoto questions.

"Engaging in "friendly" group meals is out of the question. Someone could easily poisoned our food. And I'd rather not become part of the Last Supper just yet." Says Byakuya.

"Quit talking like you're in a fuckin' movie or something!" Mondo shouts.

"All I'm saying is that, ultimately, you are all free to do whatever you want on your own. Goodbye." And with those final words, Byakuya left without even giving us a second glance.

His way of thinking is something I'll never be able to comprehend. It pisses me off how he is just seeing this a game, even with Sayaka, Junko, and Leon dead. It makes me sick.

"Was he serious about all that...?" Yasuhiro asks.

"He was, without a doubt." Celeste replies.

"Well fuck him, then." Mondo says.

"Yeah." I agree.

"B-But what he said... He might not n-necessarily be wrong... I mean, can you s-say for sure someone won't poison our f-food?" Toko says.

"Hey, come on! You too, Toko!?" Hina exclaims.

"Well, it's n-not like anyone would care even if I w-was gone, right...? Actually, I bet you all w-want me gone! You all think I'm d-disgusting!" Toko says, her voice raising with each word.

"None of us think that..." Makoto tells her.

"You j-just think you don't think that!" Toko shouts, pointing at Makoto.

"That doesn't make any sense..." Saki says, sweat dropping.

"I know some people like to play the victim, but this is just...totally out there." Yasuhiro said.

"You think I d-don't know, but I do... You want me g-gone! And I'm s-sure...the rest of you want the same th-thing, don't you!?" Toko exclaims before she dashes out of the library.

"Wow. She's fast." I think as she rushes past me.

"Ah, hey! Toko, wait!" Makoto calls out to her.

I could tell he was going to run after her, but Celeste stopped him.

"Just let her go. Once she gets going like that, there is nothing you can say to bring her back." She says, smiling.

Ultimately, our breakfast meeting ended without answering a single question. Everyone headed back to their rooms. As I was making my way there. All I could think about was how badly I wanted to collapse on my bed in my dorm and fall into a dreamless sleep, hoping to escape this nightmare we were all in.

Once I entered my dorm room, I made sure I locked my door behind me and took slow steps to my bed. It felt as though me bed was moving farther and farther away ever step I took towards it. When I finally reached it, I collapsed onto my bed. I don't know why I'm so utterly exhausted, but in about a minute or two, I was fast asleep.
