Purpose (Oumasai)

Chapter 5: Knock on the Door

~ Kokichi POV ~

Knock knock knock....

Oh not again, god damnit.

"K-kokichi, it's me" Came a stuttering feminine voice

"Shu-shuichi?" I stuttered, stop stuttering

"Yeah it's me" He confirmed

"Alright, let me open the door" I sighed in relief

I pushed all the items away from my door and opened the door. Thankfully Shuichi was on the other side of the door.

"Why'd you come here?" I asked

"Oh, I thought we could both use some fresh air" He smiled faintly

"Sure" I smiled at him, I was almost on the verge of tears but I decided to keep it in for now

"Are you sure you want to go? You look a little pale..." He said concerned

"Yeah I'm fine" I laughed, he eased up

"Anyways, let's go" He took my hand and we went to the courtyard. We lay down on the ground, the stars glistened and I smiled. I breathed some deep breaths and calmed down.

"Do you realize that it's 3 am?" I giggled

"Yeah, I was really sleepless" He sighed

"Me too, I think I cried and went to sleep but you woke me up" I closed my eyes

"Really? Sometimes it seems like you really don't care" He said, he seemed surprised

"I guess" I fluttered my eyelids open and saw him crying "The execution really took a toll on you huh?"

"Yeah, I can't believe that Monokuma killed her" He shook his head

"And the fact that she didn't even kill Rantaro" I stopped, I shouldn't be telling him this

"What? I guess that could be possible but she got executed, that means that she was the murderer" He looked up

"What if the murderer was the mastermind? Then everything would make sense" I thought

"I wish she just didn't die" He sighed

"Me too" I said truthfully, I'd never wish her dead

After this point there was some silence, it was actually kinda nice. I felt safe with him.

"Do you trust me?" He asked

"What?" I got confused

"I mean, do you genuinely trust me? You don't have to lie about this" He said, reassuringly

"I'm not sure, I guess" I smiled

"You're cute" He laughed

"Jeez what are we, ten year olds?" I laughed as well

"Eh, most of the people here are kinda dense" He smiled

"Including you" I poked fun at him

"I'm not dense!" He blushed

"Yeah right" I sat upright

"What time is it?" He asked

"About 5 am?" I read the far away clock

"Oh I see" He closed his eyes

"Look up" I said

He looked up at the sky and he fell silent. His eyes reflected the ivory galaxy. The stars glistened and the clouds flew by.

"It's gorgeous isn't it" I said in awe

"It is" He agreed

"I'm so happy that we have this space where we can just forget our troubles and act as if we were just normal teens" I spoke out

"Are you afraid of being here?" He asked, then realising how stupid he sounded

"Of course I am, and you said you aren't dense" I rolled my eyes

He stuttered some more and I cringed at that. Come on, he has to have some type of interesting retort to my stupidity. Who knew emo kids stuttered so much.

"I'm soo sorry that I'm so boring for you, I-I really don't mean it" He apologized

"Is that...sarcasm?" I asked, surprised

"Yes, I don't usually do sarcasm" He gave a small smile

"Okay woww, that's pretty bold for someone like you" I said acting shocked

"Ah yeah" He shyly looked away from me

Sometime went by and I saw something or rather someone in the bushes. My eyes filled with tears and my eyes shot open. What if...w-what if they're there.
I tried to snap myself out of the panic and succeeded. I waved my tears away and turned to Shuichi.

"We should probably go" I said, taking his hand

"Oh okay, l-let's g-go then" He looked a bit surprised and flustered but I didn't care at that moment

I semi-ran to the dorms and told Shuichi to get some sleep. Then I bolted to my dorm, locked and barricaded the door. I then lay down on my bed and tears started pouring on to my pillow cover.

I can't help it, why am I so helpless! They're so much bigger than me, HE wants to murder me. On top of that I can't protect Shuichi from HIM. I'm just so stupid, like a little kid.
Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid
stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid.

I collapsed on the bed, my tears drowning my pillow in water. Then I heard it. He was banging on my door. Almost breaking it down. O-oh my god...

There has to be a fucking exit here somewhere... Think think... Ah yeah Kirumi's room is next to mine. There was that door in the closet so I can look at that and then cover it up with my clothes. I got up silently and glided to the closet I opened the door swiftly and hastily rummaged through the clothes.

I cleared a path for myself and got in the closets door. I then lay all my clothes in their place and stacked some clothes before the little door. I closed the closet and got into Kirumi's room, closing the little door after myself.

"Hey Kirumi?" I shook her shoulder, she was sitting at her desk and sleeping

"Kokichi? Why are you here?" She knelt down before me and patted my head

"Someone's breaking into my room..." I'm ashamed that I let these tears out in front of her

"Wait, I'll be right back" She said as she went to the door

I didn't stop her.

I knew she would've still gone. I sat, quivering in the corner of her room. I heard some hitting noises and I winced. I pressed my knees to my body and waited.

Oh Kirumi, please come back.
