“Hmm?” Junko turned to look at her sister. “What did you say?”
“I said no.” The voice was firm. “You aren’t going to get Naegi.”
“Huh?” Junko’s face was more of bewilderment and shock than utter confusion. The fact that her sister, who had been so obedient, tell her no. “You…”
“Yes. I love Naegi.” She knew it wasn’t true. She couldn’t love Naegi. She loved her sister. So why were these words climbing out of her mouth? “Is that so bad, sister, that I love someone else more than you? And the fact that, quite unlike you, I am a straight person? Unable to love a girl like you? How tragic.”
Mukuro expected a smile. Her weird laugh. A witty remark about despair. But there wasn’t anything. A shocked face remained.
Silence became minutes, and was broken by Junko. “I see.” There was a sad smile on her face. “So you like Naegi.” She stood up, and walked out of the room.
Mukuro let out a long sigh, or more of a gasp. She had just back-talked to her sister for the first time.
There was a cackle: the weird laugh of her sister, the dreaded “Upupu!” echoing throughout the house. Sound of searching rustled as Mukuro went to investigate.
“Upupupu…. Upupupu… Ikusaba is really straight….” She heard the muttering. Deranged, psychopathic laughter of her sister echoed in the halls. “And with that bastard… Naegi? Oh, yes, this is it… This is the true despair…! I must maximize it… Maximize it!” Mukuro’s footsteps quickened, panicking.
“This will multiply… the thousands… no… millions… however you measure despair… I am having by millions! Oh, I’m so glad… yes, I’m so glad that my sister did this just… for… me…! Just as I stabbed her and gave her despair... she stabbed me and gave me…. Despair….”
She turned the corner, in the main lobby, with her sister her hand extended towards a giant red button. She knew what it was, of course, having part in making it. The execution button, the Super Duper Nasty Torture for her sister, as the final despair. The final, ultimate despair… Something Mukuro never wanted to try. As much as she was a member of the Super High School Level Despair, she didn’t care much for despair as much as her sister did. All was for her sister… And her sister was just about to off herself in it.
The soldier instinct kicked in as she threw herself against Junko, knocking her away from the button.
“N-no! Sis! What are you doing!?” Junko screamed as she started to stand up. “This… this was the ultimate despair…” There was something off about her this time. Her eyes were deranged, lost, and… pained.
“Sister…” Mukuro started, but Junko rambled on.
“I mean… yes… this is the ultimate despair… my own sister… who left me, and came back for me…. Is about to leave me because… of that boy.” Junko shuddered as she clutched herself, giggling uncontrollably. “Despair… despair… this is despair… that I wanted… and it… hurts…”
Tears were flowing down from Junko’s cheeks as she continued to giggle and sob. “Y-You were my only family… You were the only one I can rely on… and when you… when you left…” More giggles racked her body as Mukuro continued to look at her with wide eyes, filled with shock.
“I-I love you sister… I love you… … And need you… so much… So please…. Don’t leave me for him…”
Frustration built up on Mukuro. She had used her so much, and was she planning to use her the way she did once again? No. This had to end.
But did she really love Naegi? No… she didn’t. It wasn’t something she would feel.
She raised her hand and slapped Junko across the face, causing Junko to go silent in shock. Before she could do anything, Mukuro grabbed her sister’s tear-stained cheeks, kissing her lips, tasting the cherry chap-sticks. It wasn’t what she usually gave to her sister, full of passion and love, frustration held back. This time, frustration came first, and along with it, anger, rage, hatred.
Junko was surprised by the sudden difference in this kiss from her sister. As much as she enjoyed it, the roughness and dominance that her sister never displayed, she couldn’t help but feel as if something was wrong. When Mukuro broke the kiss and stared into her eyes… she knew. She knew there was going to be something.
“Sister…. I don’t… love Naegi.” Mukuro was looking at her straight into her eyes as she talked, and Junko found herself, though filled with dread and despair, she couldn’t find herself to enjoy it. Why couldn’t she enjoy despair? She had enjoyed it all her life, and finding despair… this way… was painful.
“I…hate you… sister.” Each word came out harshly from Mukuro’s mouth as she looked away. “I… hate you so much…”
“I… understand…. Maybe…” Junko started. “Maybe I am just… weird and frustrating to you…”
“No, it’s not that, sister.” Mukuro shook her head. “I… absolutely… love to hate you… And it… burns…” What kind of a person would love her own sister this way? She didn’t know. “You know… we can’t be together. We are sisters… And…”
“…That’s what keep us apart.” Junko finished. Mukuro nodded, and Junko looked away. “I see, sister… Then… I’ll just leave, I think… Yes, that’ll be better…” She paused again, hesitating. “I love you… as a sister.” She smiled, tears still falling down her face.
“W-Wait, sis!” Before Junko could react, there was the one last kiss. One last kiss of passion, almost drained, but it was still there. Mukuro was crying as well.
“Good luck sis… drown this world in despair…”
“I will… Mucchan.”
“I said no.” The voice was firm. “You aren’t going to get Naegi.”
“Huh?” Junko’s face was more of bewilderment and shock than utter confusion. The fact that her sister, who had been so obedient, tell her no. “You…”
“Yes. I love Naegi.” She knew it wasn’t true. She couldn’t love Naegi. She loved her sister.
