Cafeteria
It has been two days since the Class trail, two days since the loss of Yua Ide and Norie Yumichika. Two days since Ryuji was mysteriously shot and he's still in a coma like state. Its lucky that Ryuji is not dead and he is recovering but, will he wake up soon or even at all? Those thoughts were going through most of the students minds, even the more distant people among them were wondering about it. All of the students except Ryuji and Masami were in the cafeteria Talking about his well being and about what happened to him and discussing theories.
"Uhh, it's been two days, when is he gonna wake up?" Michi asked scratching his head.
"This is annoying, not that i care about him or anything, but if we are going to get out of here, it would be logical to have more people join us." Akira Said while writing in his maths book.
"Logical smogical, he is our friend, he should want him to wake up regardless!" Kirie stated.
"I agree." Tomoyo said sipping her tea.
"Damn, who shot him though?" Hanako asked.
"That would be the mastermind." Haruka said.
"Huh?" Hanako asked baffled.
"Isn't it obvious? Everyone was accounted for that night in here, this very room. And i'm sure that Ryuji didn't shoot himself." Hayato said.
"Yeah, i think we should ask Ryuji when he is awake." Kyoto said.
"But remember to keep in mind he will be a little bit... on the sensitive side about the incident, therefore he should take it easy. Besides wouldn't he be a little uneasy on the situation?" Naoki said.
"Indeed, i think we should ask him when he's recovered fully." Tomoyo said.
"Wait a sec where's Masami?" Hanako asked.
"She's with Ryuji, it's her turn to watch over him for today did you already forget?" Hayato said.
Since that night when Ryuji was shot, including Masami, there have been three people who have taken care of him for the day, these people where Tomoyo for the first day, Naoki for the second and now Masami. Each time is chosen at random, they are chosen by a spin the bottle game, the person who it lands on will be chosen to watch him for the night and the next day until the time to choose another person to look after him. Since the first night, Ryuji was moved to his room, still unconscious, but receives attention when needed but someone has to be there at all times to alert the others incase something does happen.
...
Ryuji's room
In Ryuji's room, he was laying in his bed unconscious still, Masami was watching His anime DVD's on his tv, she was watching a Romance/action show, it was at this time she heard a very familiar voice. It was Ryuji's, it was on the show she was watching. He was playing the typical comedy relief character. Masami then Looked back at Ryuji with a sad expression on her face.
"Please wake up soon." She said while putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Mhmm"
"Huh?" Masami said with a look of shock.
If this is what she thought it was she would probably break down with tears of joy, even if it was a cliche way of waking from a coma.
"R-Ryuji?!" She said rubbing his shoulder.
And then it was like a fairy tale, his eyes started to open very slowly as if trying to adjust his eyesight back to what it was before.
"Huh..." He said with a raspy voice, he then looked at Masami who was in a look of shock still. "H-hey Masami, why are you in my room? Did i oversleep or something?"
"R-Ryuji? You're awake?!" She said starting to tear up.
"Yeah... Why?" He replied confused.
"Oh my god! Im so happy you're all right." She almost shouted hugging him in a deathly grip.
"M-Masami... I... can't... BREATH! Their... choking me!" He said with his face starting to go blue.
"Huh?" she said still squeezing him in a hug.
"Your... Boobs are... crushing me!" He said trying so hard to shout.
"Oh woops. Oh! I need to tell the others they will be so excited to hear your awake!" She said running out of the room.
...
"Eh? Did something happen when i was asleep, is this a new motive and now everyone is now completely mental? God, hope not" Ryuji asked himself.
...
Cafeteria
...
"You what?! Alright Little miss 'no tits', you need to back off! Tara will not be squashed under my watch!" Kirie shouted.
"What do you mean by 'No tits'? At least mine aren't made of pure fat like yours! I wonder what you eat to make them so full of lard." Haruka teased back.
"Oh shut up horn dog! I just wonder what you eat except from dick! The only mystery is how your so bite sized." Kirie shouted back.
"Wow... Y'know, people who use bad language just use it because they have a bad vocabulary. What is that what you're eating anyway? Looks like sweets shaped like maggots? Thats just gross." Haruka teased back.
"The hell it is! It's delicious! There called "Mags" i made them myself!" Kirie argued back.
"Okay girls, could you please stop-" Michi asked walking up to them to break the girls up.
""SHUT UP!"" they said in unison while punching him in the face.
"Ah OW! Fucking Aye!" He shouted in pain and cupping his now bleeding nose.
"Eh, o-oh s-sorry about that." Kirie said picking him up off the floor.
"Y-yea... same here" Haruka said lifting him up.
"Are you now finished, you were so loud the sound proof walls would have no effect." Akira remarked.
"Hell, i found it interesting to watch, i don't know what the rest of you think." Hanako chimed.
"Guys! GUYS!" A voice shouted out.
"Oh for god's sake, what now?" Akira said shifting his glasses.
"Masami? What's the matter? is it Ryuji? Is something wrong?" Tomoyo asked with a serious look on her face.
"More like i have good news! He's awake! Ryuji's awake!" Masami shouted.
"WHAT!?" most of the students said in unison.
"OUCH MY EARS!" Akira said.
"We need to see him!" Naoki shouted.
"Well im off." Haruka shouted running to Ryuji's room.
...
Ryuji's room
...
"Here he is-" Masami said pointing to the bed, only it was empty. "Where did he go?!"
"Well he couldn't have gotten that far." Hayato said.
And just like that, The students went looking for Ryuji. Most of them were in his room just looking around while a few were outside the halls.
"How did he even disappear?" Hanako asked.
"I don't know! I only left for at least 2 minutes." Masami explained.
And then they heard a door open.
"Ahhh, that was a really good shower! Why did it feel so good though-" A voice said.
...
All this time, Ryuji was in the shower... How did they miss this?
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING!" He shouted.
""""""RYUJI!"""""" Kirie, Haruka, Hanako, Tomoyo, Naoki and Michi all yelled before he was tackled into a big bear hug by all of them at the same time.
"Isn't it a little bit dangerous to do that?" Hayato asked.
"Ugh, Guys! What are you doing, you're acting like i've been gone for ages! And thank god i decided to get changed in the shower room..." Ryuji asked and remarked.
"You were gone though, in a sense." Haruka said looking up to look at his face.
"I- i was?" Ryuji asked.
"Yeah dude, you didn't see your wound when you were in the shower? Actually how is you ahoge still up, you just had a shower right?" Michi asked.
"Oh yeah... How'd that get there? And to the other question, it really never actually stays down just saying." Ryuji asked.
"Anyway... You don't remember?" Kirie asked.
"What -No... Why? Do you know how i got it?" He asked still obviously confused.
The students who were all piled up on top of Ryuji got off him and looked at him and informed him of what happened.
"I-I was shot?! How did someone sneak a gun in here?!" He asked just baffled.
"Yeah you were... we were so worried for you. You have been out for Two days now." Tomoyo revealed.
"TWO WHOLE DAYS?!" He shouted.
"Y-yeah... Me, Kuu and Tomoyo had to donate some blood for you." Kirie said.
"T-thanks, Where is Kuu at the moment?" Ryuji asked.
"She was looking for you, like some of the others." Hayato said.
"Ryuji do you remember anything?" Hanako asked.
"No, nothing." He replied.
"I think i could jog your memory!" A voice spoke.
"M-Monokuma?" They students said.
"Hey get out of my room!" Ryuji shouted at monokuma.
"Nope not happening." The bear said. "All you need to so to jog your memory is to look closely at me and my beautiful face!" Monokuma chimed.
"Okay fine..." Ryuji said starting to stare at Monokuma.
It took a few more seconds for the memories to come rushing back at him like a Tsunami and all of it from when he was shot and of who shot him, the person wearing all black and a Monokuma mask...
Flashback:
"Ryuji..." It said.
"What the?" Ryuji said looking back.
It was a person the same height as him, dressed in all black and wearing a Monokuma mask, whoever they were they were using a voice changer, that much was obvious .
"Who are you..." Ryuji asked.
"Oh you don't need to know that, i'm just still annoyed about how mean you are, not to mention i wanted you all to fail too, i've never like you guy's i want to see you guys be filled with despair, and i will make that happen one way or another!" they said. They then pointed a gun towards the teen.
"Oh shit." Ryuji said before...
BANG!
flashback end:
"...Ahh ... ahhhh ... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! T-The mask... It was you!" Ryuji screamed, his forehead visibly blue and his eyes dilated.
"Ryuji please! You need to calm down!" Tomoyo pleaded while pulling him in a embrace.
"Y-you did it... YOU ALMOST KILLED ME! YOU SICK FUCKER!" Ryuji shouted with tears running down his face and pointing to Monokuma.
"You did this?!" Naoki shouted while punching his other hand. "Im going to fucking rip out your eye and shove it up your ass you you will be able to see your circuitry!"
"You sick bastard. Count me in Naoki i'm gonna wipe that smirk right off his face!" Kirie spat at Monokuma.
"Oh ho! It would seem i've become popular!" Monokuma joked.
"The hell you are!" Masami shouted.
"If i were you i would run." Hanako threatened.
"Eh fine, seems like my job here is done at least and as a, bonus i've reduced Ryuji to a broken mess, anyway cheery o!" Monokuma yelled before falling in the floor.
...
Cafeteria
All of the students were now in the Cafeteria, including Ryuji. Though, they are not really celebrating, rather its really gloomy and the place has a tense atmosphere.
"Poor Ryuji, he's looking horrible." Kuu said seeing him in the corner of her eye.
"He has been through a bad time, it's natural to be traumatised after almost dying, just give him time." Hayato said while feeding Kuu's swallow, Aoi.
"You seem to have gotten quite interested in him lately, don't think i've not noticed." Kuu teased.
"What are you talking about, i maybe distant from everyone but i'm not heartless." Hayato said.
"Not just with Ryuji though, you have been talking to other people more often." Kuu said.
"I wont deny that. But if we are going to get out of here, we are going to do it as a team." Hayato said.
...
"Poor kid..." Michi said looking at Ryuji from the distance.
"You do know he is older than you right?" Akira remarked.
"Well yeah, but he's The smallest guy here, it's hard not to think of him as the kid or a little brother." Michi said.
"Yeah. But just look at him. He looks as dead as Kyoto, and that's saying something." Kuro said.
...
Meanwhile on Ryuji's table it was silent, nobody was talking, not a word... Tomoyo, Masami, Kirie, and Naoki were silent. They were all looking at Ryuji but he looked absolutely horrible... He had his hood up, it was pretty much covering up his eyes and he had wrapped himself up in a blanket and not to mention as pale or white as a ghost, obviously shaken up about those memories. Strangely enough though it was Kirie who broke the silence. As she walked up to Ryuji.
"H-hey Ryuji do you want one?" She said while holding up a packet of those sweets she had.
"... Mags?" Ryuji read out the name of the sweets that she was holding.
"Come on try one!" She said smiling and forced one into his mouth.
"Omf!" He then started to chew.
"Soooo how is it?" She asked.
"It has a really weird taste, what's in these?" He asked.
"Umm... i think they are made of maggot's that were blended." She revealed.
...
"Ulp..." Ryuji ran out of the comfort of his blankets with his hand cupped over his mouth and went running towards the bin. "Blughhhhhhh."
Everyone had eyes on him when he was throwing up in the bin. And what Kirie said next just baffled everyone.
"Did you like it?" Kirie asked tapping Ryuji's shoulder.
"Kirie what the hell? Are you trying to kill me?" Ryuji said with his head still over the bin.
"No, Im just trying to liven the mood!" She said smiling.
...
"Hehehe ahahaha!" Well, id say we have a prank war going on the kirie." Ryuji said.
"What prank? i was just offering a sweet." She said as she flicked another sweet into her mouth.
"That was easy, seriously was it that easy to make you a little bit more cheerful?" Akira remarked.
"Hey Ryuji?" Hanako said walking up to him.
"Yeah?" He replied.
"Come with me, i'm gonna give you a haircut! Oh and i wont take no for an answer besides you just look so glum! Lets go!" She beamed.
"Huh" He said but before he could refute, she was already being dragged away down to her room.
...
"Well that livened the mood a little..." Hayato remarked.
"I think so too. It will probably smell in here for a while though." Kuu said.
"Yes, vomit really isnt a pleasant smell..."
