Shuichi was all better after two days of being off work...I definitely need to make sure he isn't overworking himself again. He tends to do this especially if a more pressing case is what they are all focused on. I will make sure he gets sleep when he gets home and make sure to pamper him all I can. He deserves it because he always tries his best to do it for me when I'm stressed.

So I already made plans to try my best to make a good meal for him...I am getting Maki and Himiko to help me cook because as they are worried I am worried I'm going to fuck this up...but I want it to be special for him even if he is exhausted when he sees it.

The wedding plans are going well and we will be getting married by the end of the month--sure it just started but I couldn't be more excited to be forever with Shuichi. He will be mine and I will be his and I could never be more happy about that. I love being independent and working on things on my own and figuring things out by myself and things, but somehow he makes all of that dependance on myself fade away in the moments I need someone to help hold me up.

School, odd I'm going back to school after all this time...I remember telling Rantaro how much I hated going to school because of the no good teachers that just are there to give you a hard time--but here we are in the present and now I'm back to school...

Rantaro...been a while since I have seen you huh. After Kaede "murdered" him. Even though it was just Tsumugi framing her for it and ending up killing both of them. I hated the game, even now it still haunts me...not even every now and again as some people say it must be. It's every. Fucking. Day. So why do they always say 'oh gosh you were the kids on the news that were found after being held hostage for three years! No way! That must have been scary! You are so strong I'm sure you have forgotten all about it' They always fucking say that...

How could I forget? How can someone forget about something that was a life changing thing? Would you just forget about the man who died to save your life? Would you just forget your parents if they were hard workers who cared for you...ah... would you just forget about your first kiss if it meant the world to you?

The answer? Is hell no. You hear me?! Hell FUCKING NO! How could I forget about the friends I made there? The people I laughed with, cried with, hung out with, and even...the ones I almost died with. They are always in my mind. Always reminding me of how lucky I am to have Shuichi in my life. Always reminding me that my life is a gift...a gift I must live with to not let their deaths be in vain.

"Kokichi! Here you are!" I heard Nagito's voice and almost immediately turned in the direction of his voice and saw him rushing up to me. "Ah hello! How are you~?" I asked with a smirk as I held onto my bag that rested over my shoulder.

"Well Mister MK wanted me to show you to your classroom and help you get settled! He called me over to ask me this yesterday when Go-go had to come in here again to talk to that student that wanted to job shadow her." His smile was kind and it made me feel more comfortable about going to be in this job, because I have Nagito by my side as I take my first steps into becoming the best teacher!

"Alrighty! I'll follow you then~" I smiled before he started walking down the hallway without another word. It was a nice school and they have definitely done renovations since I last was here before I graduated. I guess I have just been seeing this now because I have had the time to look around because I'm not waiting to get an interview or anything. I'm just walking with a good friend before going into my very own classroom.

I couldn't wait to get there. I was going to be in classroom 4B so all the way up the fourth floor--that's going to be fun going up and down the elevator all day everyday...hmm I wonder what Shuichi thinks about kids.

I saw some of the high schoolers in the library talking and studying together before I looked out the window to see more students hanging out and laughing. But I wasn't focused on them. I was thinking more about smaller children that have parents that gave them up or are unable to care for them...I want to be able to help them even if I was the only one at home to care for them.

But that's way in the future--well no actually. Maybe a bit after the wedding I could ask--

"Here it is! Your very own classroom! Make sure to get comfortable! Class starts in an hour!" Nagito said that after guiding me into the room. It was a nice feeling knowing I had my own space to work and decorate to mark it as the room where I teach my students. My students, damn. I want to be able to be the best teacher I can be for them! And I know they will end up enjoying this class---well I hope that is...

A new adventure in this new life of mine. Crazy.
