Love and Despair(A Danganronpa au)

by Ducklee6

Usami Kiseki has been accepted into Hope's Peak Academy as the Ultimate Councillor, and she's thrilled that this school of hope has recognized her and wants to help her succeed. At least, that's what she thought. When she's suddenly teleported to a tropical island with fifteen of her classmates, what will she do? Will hope or despair triumph? (T for language and general DR gore)

Hey, everyone! So I had this idea late at night, and honestly I have no idea where I'm going with this au. I guess Usami is the main character? Heh-heh... But anyways, This is Dangan Ronpa in a sense, so please make sure you have played both games. I will have some official characters from both games and some OCs, so please give them a chance. I do already know that this au has Komaeda in it, but he's not the ultimate Lucky Student. In other words, he won't have the white hair or his dementia. Before his sickness, he canonically had light brown hair, like Naegi's. Oh yeah, if there are any spelling errors, incorrect information, a section you had trouble understanding, etc, please tell me! I will gladly fix it. Anyways, enjoy! The other chapters will be longer than this, I swear!

Hope's Peak Academy.

Ahh, Hope's Peak Academy...!
I stood in front of the Elite Hope's Peak Academy, practically bouncing on my heels. I honestly couldn't believe I was actually here. I was accepted into this wonderful school! A smile spread on my face, and excitement danced in my heart.

Hope's Peak Academy- an elite school smack in the middle of Japan, but famous throughout the world. The only way for you to enter is for the school to scout you out itself. There are two requirements to enter- You must be a high school student(in any year), and you must be the best at what you do. These people are called Ultimates, and their talents range from baseball elites to fashionistas. If you make it through Hope's Peak, you're basically guaranteed to succeed in life.

Ah, before I go any further, I should probably introduce myself! My full name is Kiseki Usami, but I like people to call me by my first name, Usami, better. Why am I coming to this fancy school, you ask? Well, I have an ultimate talent, just like everyone else here. I'm the Ultimate Councillor. I really get it sounds like a stupid talent, but it's really special to me. I guess... I just love helping people. And apparently I have a talent for it. Isn't that something, to be able to save others from the brink of despair? It's something I'm proud of. I twirled around once, watching my skirt fluff out when the wind caught it. Hope's Peak. It's like a dream! Anyways, I should step inside now, right?

"Well, let's go!"

My feelings piling up against each other like a train wreck of rainbows or something, I stepped beyond the threshold with my black flats.
Immediately, I realized something was wrong.

Have you ever walked into a room, then forgotten why you entered in the first place? And then you have that little bad feeling in your stomach, like it might have been important? Now, imagine that, only maybe twelve times worse. Or thirteen. Anyways, this feeling of intense nausea swept over me, and I stumbled, trying desperately to stay upright. The room swirled before me, and I swore that if I had to endure this any longer I would hurl.
Then, without warning, my legs gave out beneath me, and I collapsed to the floor, my head banging against the cold wooden floor.
After that, everything went black.

If I look back on that incident now, I would almost chuckle. I was so ignorant. I thought that first step would induce hope, and love.
Instead, all that was waiting for me was the cold fingers of despair.
