Okay so like, serious problem, all these chapters are getting too freaking long! lol, c: I won't be able to update tomorrow and I didn't think I'd have a chance to update today so I decided to write write write xD ; 3; As for the mole, you'll find out more inside, I bet you won't be able to guess after you read it. I tried to think of a catchy name to give the execution but... yeah. Also I think I failed on the MTB and Epiphany Anagram ; 3; if you have any ideas on how I could change it, it'd be most appreciated. We get to see not only Hikari but several ther in their detective hats today c: It was tough coming up with the hints but it went well or at least I think.
Review Response;
Crimson Spider Lily: ; 3; Those are such amazeball guesses, they could probs be moles, but I can't tell you which it's I'm so sorry *tear* And Hikari likes well, c: As much as I'd like to say that'd ruin everything. Twisterlies twists everywhere. ; 3; I couldn't kill off Seiko, at least not yet :P And LOL To tell you a little secret, I planned to have Hansuke be the victim and someone else as a culprit but then I was liek nuuuu! Change my mind last minute. And I'll give you a hint, it's not solid and you can't touch it but it can touch you. And The investigation was somewhat easier to write than I expected, still hard but easier LOL. And dun worry, with the way these ideas have been pouring I could write every day if I had more free time xD
Makoto Naegi: I have little gnomes helping me write, they read my mind while I sleep and type what I dream : Just kidding but that'd be cool though. And I died too when i chose Fuyu she was just too freaking cute with the pink hair the justice and oh. Lemme go back and time! ; 3; And yeah, but that's all part of the case c:
Mr. Monobear and Ibuki Mioda: Stop being so lazy lol I'm glad you liked the chapter c:
leona7002; I love your long reviews lol. As for the Monokuma Hour I was liek, I'll just drop this for kicks since I didn't really do any. I think I'll do it after the freetime events or something that way you guys have something that Monokuma says to look forward to. I'm glad you laughed at the Free Time events : Karaoke and Mahjong relieve everyone's tensions. I got the idea for mahjong because I freaking love Saki. lol c: And what more than making our star duo a point eating duo in it too? Minori is like my favorite, although there hasn't been too much of her, I can promise that there will be more interactions with her in the next chappie. KitsuneSaionji suggested having Hansuke do some hypnotism so I decided to use your idea~ and I had to pick on Rokon; it was too much. And Damien is the perf guy to have around. And our down-to-earth ladies will be playing bigger roles in investigations than I'm letting on c: And the anti-socials (exc. Fuyu she had her struggles poor baby) had to have them be all in their rooms doing want lonely peoples do, sleep, talk to ourselves, and think(Pink)
The Pocketwatch Ripper: I couldn't let Minori get killed, she's the one who needs to be best friends with Xorukae ; 3; Who else will be his cooking buddy? c: The "You've got that wrong" is my favorite part in this chapter. Rather than having it be just one person I thought more people should be on it.
It'sThatPsycho: Nuuuu dun despair yet it's only just begun ; 3; And there will be a ray of hope. A familar character I simply love will be coming to the rescue next chapter. I dunno if you will guess it but I assure you, you will love them c:
KitsuneSaionji: I'm glad that was hilarious, and apparently twister is serious business with some people which is why I never play. ;;o .o)= And LOL that'll be my excuse for things "Since it's long" wait o no) I'll use that for a dirty joke later LOL. And broadcast them RP sessions c: It'll be good advertisement. Also yes, the best part was Roxie's sleeping o 3o) We can be pervy together LOL OTL. And I love those free time ideas c: I kinda wanna make Hikari attack Kukai in a free time session now. Is that wrong? ',o _o) and Moles! Everyone loves the moles, then the mole dies and we cry ; 3; And it turned out, that my relatives weren't at the meeting place so we came back home LOL
As usual I don't own Dangan Ronpa because if I did, there'd be no despair in the world... But at the same there'd be no hope. " . - .) God that's confusing. Anyways enjoy~!
Chapter 10: Enter Detective Drew!
The students stood where Fuyu's corpse lay, unable to move. Before any of them could actually do anything Monokuma popped up from out of nowhere as usual.
"Upupupup, It's begun hasn't it?" He mockingly questioned, "I knew you all couldn't handle cutting off ties to the real world. Bwahahahaha! Anyways, here is the Monokuma File 1. It contains information about the case at hand. Remember; make sure you make gooooood use of this time. Your beary life is dependent on it." After handing out the black folders which indeed contained information of the case, Monokuma left the same way he came, poofing out of nowhere. Around this time Seiko came back with the girl's glasses of water. Thankful, Naho grabbed hers and drank a little then splashing some on her face. Hikari set her glass on the floor and prepared to move to Fuyu's corpse.
"H-Hey, what are you doing?" Questioned a startled Xorukae, "Don't tell me you're going to touch her corpse?!" Hikari merely scoffed at the boy's cowardice and replied with a question of her own.
"Would you rather just sit and do nothing while the culprit laughs at us when we all get executed?" Silence filled the area at this cold realization, "Anyways, I think we need to have bodyguards to make sure nobody messes with the body while everyone is investigating, two should be plenty. Any volunteers?" Nobody raised their hand, well who would want to stand near a dead body for a good part of their day. Maemi took a step forward and offered to do it. Afterwards Zeke stood up to the plate. With that settled the investigation began.
Investigation Time
Hikari, opened her Monokuma File to read what exactly happened. Fuyu Kimura, holder of the Super High School Level Superhero title, found dead in the closet in the dormitories. The time of death was around 2 A.M. this morning. The cause of death was bleeding out from the cut wounds on her arms and wrists; the stab to her lung was made post-mortem. Numerous bruises can be found all around her body indicating there was a fight. Both of her wrists are broken from being hit with a blunt object. So the cause of death was 2 A.M. after she finishes inspecting the body she'd need to ask people for their alibis and records of what all they did that day.
New Evidence: Monokuma File
New Evidence: Broken Wrists
New Evidence: Fuyu's Bruises
Crouching down, Hikari felt Fuyu's head and determined there was a single blow to the side of her head; probably from another blunt object. On closer inspection she noticed that the girls left cheek had swollen quite a bit and found that the girl was missing a tooth.
New Evidence: Missing Tooth
Now to look at the murder weapon. The knife protruding from the girl's chest was extremely familiar. Where had she seen this tool…
"Oh!" Spoke Sumire, "That's the missing kitchen knife from yesterday!" Sumire was the only one who was still here besides the two bodyguards. "It went missing at around 7 last night, while I was having tea." So the murder weapon went missing yesterday at around 7…
New Evidence: Sumire's Testimony
Onward to the rest of the girl's body; as expected, there were bruises on her wrists indicating that they were indeed broken. Strangely; there were spots of blood on Fuyu's right pointer finger, middle finger, index finger and pinky finger. Coincidentally, there were four dots on the inside for the door… It was strange; how did she make this with her wrists broken like this…?
New Evidence: Fuyu's Bloody Fingers
New Evidence: Odd Dots
That was all that was to be investigated in this area. Hikari got up and pondered about the information she gathered… Needing more evidence to determine a culprit; she trekked off in search of the other students to gather alibis…
After calming down to a relaxed state Naho sat in the cafeteria with Kukai, Xorukae, Seiko and Minori. Still in complete disbelief at Hikari's sudden change of character and the fact that one of her friends had actually been killed; Naho felt that she should at least do something to help with the investigation. Their lives were on the line. With a newfound energy, she ran out of the cafeteria looking to find new pieces of evidence to help with the case. Unbeknownst to her another was following her.
"First things first, I'll check the victim's room," Naho breathed in and out, uncomfortable about searching the deceased's belongings, before entering. "Alright; let's go!" Before she actually stepped foot into the room, Naho felt a shadow hovering over her. Scared, she turned around slowly revealing that Kukai and Seiko had followed her. "What are you two doing here?" They sheepishly told her that they were concerned and wanted to help out as well. Plus, it got a bit awkward when Xorukae and Minori started their little cooking otaku fest. Face palming, Naho walked inside anyways, no longer caring.
Fuyu's room was to least say, messy. There were pieces of metal scattered around everywhere and blueprints pinned against the entire left wall. Bolts and wrenches were littered around and a couple screwdrivers as well. Numerous amounts of balled up paper were thrown across to the area near the trashcan. Despite the state of her room, it was still suspicious. No matter how messy a room may be, lamps shouldn't be tipped over onto the floor, and who leaves their dresser doors on the floor? More importantly; the floor and bed looked… neat. Not the floor itself but rather the carpet it looked as though it was just vacuumed.
New Evidence: Cleaned Carpet and Bed
"Hey guys, I think I found something," Spoke up Seiko who was holding a notepad. Each room had its own notepad for whatever reason, "There's dent marks, I think Fuyu made a note to someone, and that someone may be the killer…" The other two looked at each other and nodded, this would be important evidence; maybe it could tell who it was in the note.
New Evidence: Fuyu's Used Notepad
Feeling good with their investigation, the trio exited the room with their evidence captured in their student ID's. The student ID's had a built in camera for taking pictures of scenes or items for when they're used in the Class Trials. However, they are not cell phones and information cannot be transmitted.
After examining the body with Hikari, Sumire went off to question everyone. There were several things that she was confused about. The First being the missing middle finger on Fuyu's left hand. Why would they do that; what gain does the culprit gain by doing that? Second, the murder weapon, the knife went missing at around 7 P.M. and at that time, she, Damien and Maemi were inside having tea. The people who went in were… But wait… That's impossible… Shocked at the newfound fact that she figured out; slowly trekked to the cafeteria where the others may be at. When she reached the cafeteria inside were the other detectives including the one that is the culprit however, Maemi and Zeke were still guarding the corpse, never can be too careful. They were conversing about something strange…
New Evidence: Fuyu's Missing Finger
"Hey guys, what's up?" Sumire asked, concerned as to why they were huddled up, "Something strange happen that I missed?" Naho was the first to look at the girl, her face pale white.
"Yeah, we were going over what happened yesterday and found out something strange," Naho quivered. Sumire raised her eyebrow asking her to continue, "You see… Last night someone was trying to break into our rooms… Everyone woke up, hearing a rattling on their doorknobs and pounding on their doors." After explaining, Sumire remembered something similar happening last night. At first she shrugged it off as her imagination but seeing how this happened to everyone, it was not her imagination.
New Evidence: Rattling and Banging
Hikari rose from her seat. The others looked at her wondering what she planned to do. This other side of her was pretty unpredictable and a bit depressing but also amazing that she can stay so calm in this crisis.
"Seiko, I want you to come with me and help me with the rest of my investigation," She told the pickpocket. Everyone stared at her, what could she possibly be doing. Not giving the boy any time to process, she pulled on his arm as they made their way out the cafeteria.
"H-Hey, what's the big idea?" Seiko asked, demanding an answer for her pushy attitude just now, "And tell me what we're doing while you're at it." She stopped and sighed a little. Can't people just do what they're asked without questions, makes life so much easier.
"I think I figured out who out of everyone might be the culprit," Hikari answered, "I've narrowed it down to a couple suspects, but I'm not totally sure. I need to find two more pieces of evidence before I can come to any sort of conclusion, and even with that I doubt I'd figure it out. And that's why I need your help." The boy looked at her confused as to why she would need his help of all people. Before he could ask she walked away and stood next to the men's restroom in the dormitory. Now he got it, she can't go into the men's restroom. Reluctantly, he headed into the closed area. Searching for a couple minutes he found absolutely nothing until he noticed something was wrong with the mirror. He tried pulling on it and it came off with a little "pop" sound. Suction cups were placed on the back of it and inside was a compartment.
Inside the compartment was an extremely wrinkled white shirt. It was had various blood stains splattered and it was rolled up into a ball. Disgusted, Seiko took a long paper towel and used it to bring the shirt out with him.
"Is this what you were looking for?" Seiko asked the noirette who was leaning against the wall. She looked at him with surprise, not expecting to actually find anything. She carefully grabbed the shirt with her gloved hands and unrolled it. To their surprise, something fell out, and that something was Fuyu's missing finger. It had already started to decompose and a putrid smell combined with dead flesh and bathroom emanated from it. "Wh-what the hell…" Seiko had to do everything he could to keep from vomiting. This was disgusting just… simply grotesque. Hikari wasn't paying attention to the finger at all, she was more interested in a peculiar mark on the sleeve of the shirt. There was a bloody mark resembling some sort of bite. At this Hikari smirked a little at this newfound evidence. She just found her deciding piece of evidence but… Where is that she wondered… Knowing the culprit he already disposed of it however she had another idea. Seiko who was watching her changing facial expression was confused as she hadn't let him in the know at all. She signaled to him that they were heading back and told him to put in a bag that she had. Where did she even find this thing he wondered? This actress is a whole lot of crazy.
New Evidence: Bloodied Shirt
New Evidence: Bloody Bite Mark
When the pair returned to the cafeteria everyone's eyes were on them. They were about to ask what they found and what was in the bag the monitor turned on with a chime.
"Times up!" exclaimed an excited Monokuma, "Go to the room past the red doors and hop on the elevator. The Class Trial will be starting. Your attendance is mandatory!" With that said, the monitor clicked off and the students looked around uncomfortably. Could someone here, really have killed one of their own? With doubts in their minds and evidence ready the students trudged into the school area of the building and stopped at the two red double doors. Slowly each one of them entered one by one…
"Are we really going through with this?" asked a frightened Naho, "Could one of us really be the murder? Are we sure it wasn't Monokuma and he's trying to get us to blame our friend for his deed?" No one spoke up. They may not all get along well, but there was one thing they didn't want to admit, one of their friends actually killed their other friend. The sad truth wasn't something that you'd want to say and Monokuma may seem like the type to do something like this but it was highly doubtful. Nervous and sweating the students continued on to the elevator as they waited for it to begin. The Class Trial that would change them forever. Their lifeline to stay alive, to continue living, to keep spending time with the people they've grown to know. And so… it begins…
Once the elevator ride that seemed like forever stopped the all exited out into the small courtroom looking area. There was a podium where Monokuma stood and infront of it was a circle of small stands that you see in like court cases on television. Except this time, they're all witnesses, prosecutors and defendants, not innocent viewers.
"So how do ya like it?" Monokuma being the first to speak, "I had especially done for this, looks nice doesn't it? Well let's get on with the show, can't keep them waiting right?" Them? Was the question that went through each and every one of their minds as they stood on the podium with their names on it.
Have You Gotten Your Facts Straight? Alright Lets Begin!
Court Is Now In Session!
"Let's start off with a simple explanation!" Monokuma began, "You guys' votes determine the trial's outcome. Finger the true villain, and only the villain gets punished. But make the wrong accusation… and everyone else gets punished, leaving your deceiver to graduate, freeee and cleeeear!"
"Is one of us… Truly the culprit?" questioned Naho; still desblieving that one of her classmates could've killed their friend. Poor girl… A short "You betcha." came from Monokuma with a smile.
"Quick question;" Hikari stated, "There's something important I'd like out of the way." She paused for a moment and pointed at the picture of the deceased Fuyu in between Kukai and Minori. "What; exactly is the purpose of that?"
Monokuma looked at her with a hurt expression before answering, "Isn't it sad to not be included because you're dead? Friendship overcomes everything."
"O-Overcoming friendship…?" Stuttered a nervous Kukai.
Sumire, also inspecting the area, interjected, "In that case, what about those two empty seats? There are only sixteen of us, so why bother including eighteen seats?"
Monokuma paused for a moment before answering "…No reason in particular. It just means the courtroom can accommodate up to eighteen people. There's also the fact that we're missing few students who were late; which makes me angry. Well anyways, that should be enough for the introduction, let's get this party started! Let's start off with a summary of went down with Miss Superhero. Tension arose as the trial truly began
Nonstop Debate!
Hansuke: Alright so it was Fuyu Kimura who was murdered!
Zeke: Idiot, we already know that much…
Xorukae: The murder occurred in the janitor's closet.
Naho: In which she was found in…
Roxie: While taking a stroll past curfew… Fuyu was suddenly attacked when she walked past the janitor's closet… and killed without a fight…
Hikari: You've got that wrong Michinoku-san!
Break!
Hikari: If you checked the Monokuma File, you'd know that Fuyu fought back from the bruises and rustled up form of her uniform.
Roxie: So she wasn't attacked suddenly.
Sumire: Rather she was attacked and she fled into the Janitor's closet to take cover…
Maemi: …Minori and the culprit gave chase killing her.
Zeke: Tch, if you had so much as bothered to read the Monokuma File or even looked at evidence we wouldn't need to waste time on this.
Roxie: I-I'm… I'm sorry…
Hansuke: Now that that's covered… What should we talk about next..?
Maemi: I suggest the murder weapon.
Kukai: So this subject has come to us…
Nonstop Debate!
Maemi: What was the weapon used to kill Fuyu Kimura?
Hansuke: It was the blade sticking out of her chest… Everyone I figured it out now!
Keitaro: The culprit took the stiletto and slashed her with it… The sick bastard…
Seiko: You've got that wrong!
Break!
Seiko: Akito-san, the weapon that was used was a knife that belonged in the kitchen.
Keitaro: Woah. Really? I could've sworn it was a stiletto…
Xorukae: Now that we've gotten that out of the way does anyone have any idea on who could be the culprit?
Ri: I-I have an idea…
Naho: Oh really?
Ri: Wh-Why do you sound so disappointed?
Naho: Oh, I'm not disappointed just surprised, you haven't been talking much.
Zeke: Blah blah blah, quit wasting time and hurry up and speak clown.
Ri: A-Ah right… I noticed that Miss Kimura-san was missing her middle finger…
Xorukae: And…? Get on with it.
Ri: Th-there is someone who is missing their middle finger here…
Hikari: Wh-what!? Who?!
Roxie: It's me… I'm missing the middle finger on my left hand…
Kukai: And that's the same one that's missing from Fuyu…
Roxie: Th-that's true, but it wasn't me!
Rokon: Tall tales and fairy snails. It's obvious it was you. You killed her and stole her middle finger to replace the one you lost.
Nonstop Debate
Rokon: Here's what went down…
Rokon: …while the cafeteria was empty… Litle Miss "Good Luck" snuck in and stole the knife.
Hikari: You've got that wrong!
Break!
Rokon: What's wrong with my logic? Its foolproof.
Hikari: You've missed one thing, I have a testimony of someone who was in the cafeteria the time when the cafeteria went missing. Right Sumire?
Sumire: That's correct.
Hikari: And did Roxie come into the Cafeteria when the knife went missing?
Sumire: No she did not.
Rokon: Tch. Bullshit, how about this then, Miss Hot and Cold and Little Miss Sheep in Wolf's clothing are accomplices and are working together so she's fabricating her alibi.
Sumire: "Miss Hot and Cold"? And wait a minute, what would I gain by fabricating my alibi?
Xorukae: While we're on this subject, I'd like to know if there is an accomplice is he considered a villain as well?
Monokuma: While it is possible to have an accomplice only the true villain who commits the crime can graduate.
Minori: Well maybe, the accomplice didn't know about this rule when he or she helped the criminal.
Naho: That is a possibility…
Monokuma: Grrrr…. Shut up about this accomplice crap already, there is no accomplice! Oops, I said too much…
Hikari: Hmph with that settled there is no accomplice and even if there was Maemi and Damien were there as well so they'd notice something. But that brings us to another question; how did the culprit get the knife.
Damien: Shoyou-sama, there is that possibility…
Sumire: No way, no matter how much I think it out it's impossible.
Hikari: Huh? What possibility? Tell us.
Sumire: Well one other person did visit us…
Zeke: And you withheld that information because?
Sumire: Because the person who came is someone who's no longer here…
Naho: No way, you're saying that… Fuyu grabbed the knife of her own accord?
Zeke: That makes much more sense as to how the culprit got the knife but why would Kimura even need that knife.
Sumire: She said something about fixing her supersuit and needing a knife to cut some materials.
Rokon: So, just because a certain someone didn't take that knife doesn't mean they're in the clear.
Roxie: …!
Seiko: He's right… Were you trying to throw us off your tracks?
Roxie: N-N—No!
Xorukae: It's been decided; Roxie is the culprit.
Hikari: Wait a moment. There are still some things unsolved. I don't think this trial can truly be over until they've been solved.
Rokon: Tch. Quit wasting time, we already know who the culprit is.
Sumire: No, I agree, I don't believe that Roxie was the murderer.
Kukai: Same here.
Ri: What's the point? We have already exhausted all of the evidence.
Non-stop Debate!
Ri: What do we talk about now…?
Hansuke: Shall we go back over the old evidence?
Sumire: There may have been something we missed…
Keitarou: There's absolutely no clues left…
Naho: You've got that wrong!
Break!
Naho: Wow, that felt really good saying… Anyways, Seiko, Kukai and I inspected Fuyu's room.
Hikari: Really? I never thought to do that.
Naho: Teehee, what we found was that her room was really messy, wrenches, bolts and screwdrivers were littered across the place.
Seiko: There were also crumpled up blue prints tossed around, so we can assume that Fuyu wasn't the most organized.
Kukai: Yet the strangest thing appeared to us…
Rokon: Which was? Don't go holding back.
Naho: Her bed sheets and carpet was completely clean, like it was vacuumed or something. The lint roller in her room was unused so we can assume that the culprit use their own. We can also speculate that the culprit was male.
Hansuke: W-What?! What makes you so certain about that?
Kukai: The fact that there were tool supplies on the ground. Don't you remember in every guy's room is a tool set with this stuff and in every girl's room is a sewing set.
Hikari: I see… Great job you three.
Naho: Teehee! Thanks Hikari-chan!
Rokon: S-So this mean Rox doesn't fit the profile.
Sumire: Which is what she was saying ever since you accused her. Now that we know this, all the guys show me your tool box.
Hansuke: What why?!
Sumire: By doing this we can determine who the culprit is by checking to see… if you guys have…
Sumire: …
Hikari: Where's all your tool sets!?
Kukai: Well you see, we didn't think we'd really need them at all so we kind of… threw them away in our trash bins…
Maemi: Great… There goes our lead…
Hikari: You all are lucky that I found some more clues.
Keitarou: R-Really…?
Xorukae: Good job; you're actually useful for once.
Hikari: Shut up; anyways here's what I found, it was a bloody T-Shirt with that had the missing finger inside it.
Naho: W-what? Wh-where did you find that..?
Seiko: It was in the guy's rest room behind a mirror. I never thought to look in there for anything…
Hikari: The shirt alone isn't enough to continue the investigation but rather what is on the shirt and the lack of what it has and what Fuyu's room doesn't have.
Kukai: I see I see… Wait what!? You confused me there…
Rokon: Explain it clearly for us…
Hikari: Naho-chan; you know what it is right? The think that should be there but isn't?
Naho: Eh? I do? Hmm… Hmm…
Epiphany Anagram
Bare, Bear, Care
Dare, Mare, Snare, Rear, Rare
Lair, Chair, Tear, Air, Hair?
H-Hair That's It!
I see now, I've got it!
Break!
Naho: Its hair right?
Hikari: Yep! There wasn't any found on Fuyu's floor to prevent us from figuring out that someone went in there.
Zeke: W-What?! I-Impossible… The murder was committed in the Janitor's Closet it's stated right in the Monokuma File!
Hikari: Then what if we say… That Fuyu was attacked in her room?
Ri: Surprise twist!?
Keitarou: So someone broke into her room and attacked her then afterwards she ran out into the hallway and hid in the Janitor's room. The culprit gave chase and killed her?
Hikari: Exactly! If we look at this way, then the rattling and banging is solved.
Naho: Eh? It is? How?
Maemi: The rattling and banging were Fuyu's attempts to get help as she was running from her pursuer.
Seiko: N-No way…
Naho: You're joking right?! Th-then if that's the case… Her death could've been prevented…
Hikari: Sadly that is true…
Minori: So now that we have that figured out; how did they get into her room? The locks are protected with anti-picking mechanisms, so it's impossible to get inside.
Xorukae: That's true, the only way to get in… Is if Fuyu herself let them in…
Kukai: Wait what!? Hold on, the victim allowed the culprit to come in her room?
Damien: Excuse me for a moment; I'd like to lay my flush. I believe that the person was someone good with technology or machines; Kimura-sama's super suit was damaged some time ago was it not? I believe she invited them in to have them assist her with re-building her suit.
Hikari: If that's the case… Naho, let me see that used notepad you found earlier and do you have a pencil?
Naho: Ah yes I do, here you go Hikari-chan.
Hikari: Alright let's see what this says… Using an old trick that you see in television you'll easily find what the message says. Alright finished; here's what it says
Meet me in my room in an hour,
I need your help with something super important,
Please bring your tool kit
-Fuyu Kimura
Hikari: As I suspected from the very beginning.
Naho: You already suspected someone?
Hikari: Yes; someone who is good with technology, had a tool set, and was good with building things. There's only one person who fits that description.
Xorukae: Oh really now? And just who is that?
Hikari: Keitaro Akito, you are the culprit!
Naho: !
Keitaro: ...Haha… Is that all? You accuse me for murder and with that small amount of back up evidence? Don't make me laugh.
Kukai: Woah, what happened to his quiet demeanor.
Hikari: That's not all the evidence I have, also on the shirt I pulled out were strands of black hair and pink. Belonging to Fuyu and the culprit.
Rokon: Before you attack him anymore missy, not that I'm standing up for him or anything, you do realize that your hair is black. So, by pointing that out you also put yourself as a culprit. Especially since us guys threw out our tool sets, so you could've snuck in and used them to cover your trail.
Hikari: While I agree, that is a huge possibility, I could be the culprit by doing that, but I have an alibi.
Rokon: A-An alibi?
Naho: What do you mean?
Kukai: What? Naho, aren't you her witness for her alibi?
Xorukae: Yeah, you two are always together.
Naho: She left sometime around 6 P.M. saying that she'd come back to my room later and didn't arrive until 4 this morning. Of course she had borrowed the key to get back inside.
Zeke: So little actress; where were you from 6 P.M. to 4 A.M. certainly not committing murder I hope?
Hikari: I was with Sei-chan.
Ri: And Sei-chan is…?
Seiko: U-Um… That's me…
Kukai: Say what now!?
Naho: Hi-Hikari-chan… Something so indecent… What on earth were you two doing alone together…?
Hikari: G-Get your minds out of the gutter. Geez, I feel like I'm talking to a bunch of elementary students. Anyways, I was having him help me with a little play I wrote.
Xorukae: Pfft, a play? The oh so talented Hikari needed help with a play she wrote?
Hikari: Stuff it Kae, I needed a guy to play out the male roles, it's nothing serious. God.
Naho: Oh thank heavens, I thought you were turning over to the dark side for a moment. Glad to know you're still here with me.
Hikari: Geez ANYWAYS, before we got completely off topic; I had one more piece of evidence I needed to show. On the back of the door to the Janitor's closet there were four sets of dots from Fuyu's blood. On her right hand the points of her index finger, middle finger, pinky finger and ring finger had blood on them. I believe she made this mark as a hint to who the culprit was.
Kukai: I don't get it. The points are totally unrelated in any possible way.
Seiko: He's right, I don't see how it could lead you to believe it is Keitaro.
Hikari: Well I don't expect either of you to figure it out but Sumi might.
Sumire: ... Keitarou…. Keitarou… Keitarou…
Hikari: See? She's thinking.

…
I See Now That Was Where It's From!
Sumire: His family nickname… right?
Keitarou: W-W-W-W-What!?
Hikari: Ping-pong~! We have a winner. If you guys ever read those sports magazines, you'd know that Keitarou Akito's family refers to him as Kite. You'll get it when you drop the –arou and rearrange the remaining letters.
Keitarou: That's not enough proof! You don't know anything!
Hikari: Ugh, fine. When you connect the dots together with lines, you get the shape of a kite. See?
Naho: It's true! Could that be what she was hinting at… It does make sense then…
Xorukae: But that doesn't explain why the middle finger was cut off…
Hikari: Hmph! If you still don't understand then allow me to narrate it for you. Here is exactly what happened last night.
Climax Logic!
Last night while Maemi, Damien, and Sumire were having tea in the cafeteria, Fuyu scurried in to get a knife for rebuilding her super suit. Excitement was on her face as she sped back to her bedroom. Inside she diligently worked on her super suit awaiting for the persion she invited to come assist her. The culprit came to her room after reading the note and opened the door as it was unlocked. Fuyu, the trusting girl she was, had the culprit check on her blueprints as she grabbed more materials. While she was at her drawers the culprit took a piece of blunt metal and bashed it against the poor girl's head. Slightly disoriented, Fuyu panicked and fled out the room leaving the culprit with the knife. Desperate for help, she knocked on everyone's door and rattled the doorknobs.
To no avail, as the culprit slowly approached her as she took refuge in the janitor's closet. The culprit opened the door where he was surprised by Fuyu as she bit into his shoulder causing him to bleed. The culprit struggled to get the smaller girl off of him by socking her in her jaw and then beat her until she was unconscious during this, her tooth had fallen out on the ground. Once she stopped moving, the culprit proceeded to slit the girl's arms and wrists, while the girl proceeded to bleed out the culprit noticed her putting something in their sock and something on the door. When they saw this, they stomped on the poor girl's wrists causing them to break and fracture. Once she stopped moving he took the knife he held in his hand and cut off her left middle finger to place blame on Roxie then stabbed her in her chest. The culprit then removed the bloodstained shirt he wore and the sock that had a very important item in it. He proceeded to place the finger the within the middle of the bloodied shirt. He then hid the shirt and finger in the mirror of the boy's restroom along with the now bloodied sock. This person was none other than Keitaro Akito
Break!
Hikari: And that is what happened, did I get anything wrong Keitaro-kun?
Keitaro: Did you get anything wrong you ask…? Of course you did! You still have no proof that I did it! You don't even have proof that is my shirt!
Sumire: Kirisaki-san…
Hikari: Don't worry Sumire, I'm positive I'm right. And I'll prove it. Right here and Now!

Hikari: Missing Bloody Sock and Tooth and the Bite Mark
Break!
Hikari: If you're not the culprit then tell me, where is your sock and why are you only wearing one?
Keitarou: Hnnnnnngggg!
Hikari: Furthermore; if you're truly not the culprit then roll up your sleeves so we can see if you have the bite mark.
Keitarou: ….
Hikari: Is there a reason you can't show us?
Xorukae: Wow… She was right…?
Keitarou: Yes, you're absolutely right… I murdered the little pink furball!
Monokuma: Now that we've gotten that settled its ballot time! Everyone cast your votes, if you don't vote I promise you, you will be punished.
Clink Clink…. Sounded a slot machine on each wheel, was each of the students' faces. The pictures changed moving extremely fast before slowing down and landing on the picture of Keitarou Akito one by one. Once it finished the slot machine poured out coins with Monokuma's face on them.
"Correctamundo!" cheered Monokuma, "You all were absolutely correct! The culprit was indeed Keitarou-san. He killed poor Kimura-chan for his petty little dream. It's a shame… She was sucha good kid too."
"How could you!" screamed an enraged Naho, "What possibly could you have killed another living being and potentially kill several others for?" Naho pounded on Keitarou's chest as she sobbed. Keitarou just looked in downcast not speaking at all. It wasn't for a full minute until he actually said something.
"My dream was…" He began, "To make friends. Not just any kind of friends, but people who wouldn't look at me and just ignore me by assuming I'm someone that I'm not. It was tiring, you don't know how long I've had to go through with that. Then I had my parents pressuring me with this racing bullshit when I already had problems of my own. I was sick of it then, and I'm sick of it now. Then Monokuma introduced that incentive to us, and I saw this as a chance to escape those bounds of judgment and just be me without having anyone judging me ever again. But I guess, I wasn't destined to break free…"
"It's not you who needed to change," calmly states Maemi in a gentle tone, "Rather it is the people that were around who needed change. Judging other human's worth based on how you view them is ridiculous and unnecessary and is a terrible characteristic to have. However, you a no better, you ended another human's life for the sake of your dream like it was nothing. You stand here like it's nothing without any regret with what you have done. You are truly the worst kind of person there is." With that being said Keitarou just laughed in bitter irony.
"Yadda Yadda Yadda," Monokuma boredly interrupted, "If you're all done with this ridiculous sob story, it's time we begin the execution!"
"W-what!?" Naho asked," Y-You were serious about that? N-N-No! No more people need to die!" She begged asking him to spare Keitarou. A girl who hates others dying more than dying herself couldn't bear to see another die in front of her eyes.
"Sorry, but rules are rules!" Monokuma sarcastically apologized, "Those who disrupt the order and peace of my academy must pay the proper punshiment. Now, lets begin!" With that said, Monokuma pressed a large red button on the podium.
~Execution Time~
In the middle of the huge room where our students gathered, stood Keitaro in the middle of a platform surrounded with gates. Also in the platform was what looked like a donut shaped racetrack. Monokuma stood next to a gate with a lever on the side of it.
!~(A Wall Collision For Gold)~!
Monokuma pulled the lever connected to the gate and out came a racecar speeding onto the track. Attached to it was a long thin rope. It sped around the track as the rope wrapped around Keitaro's body almost looking like he was coming out of a cocoon. There was a counter attached to the ceiling, it was counting the amount of laps as the rope continued to wrap around Keitaro. His screams could be heard as being tightly wrapped by the rope was too much pain to bear. Eventually the racecar came to halt however it was temporary. As the second it stopped it sped straight into another gate as an exit causing a huge golden trophy to fly out of the first gate, smash into Keitaro and crushed him against a wall. His body twitched before ceasing all movements as blood dripped slowly echoing in the room. Thus was the end, of their first murderer.
"Oh my god..." Muttered a repulsed Hikari. She was clutching her stomach at the sight that lay before. The smashed to pieces body of Keitaro spread acrossed the wall was against, "That's... Ugh, did you have to kill him in such a grotesque way?" Naho was vomiting on the floor from the sight while others looked away from the repulsive scene that just occred before them.
"Bwahahahaha!" Guffawd Monokuma,"Looks like that's the last gold he'll ever win! Let this be a lesson to you all, those who disturb the peace of my wonderful academy, get killed like your friend there. Enjoy your despair along with the rest of the world."
"You bastard," Seethed a red hot Kukai, "What is wrong with you? Why do all of this, what puropse do you have for this?"
"Purpose?" Monokuma questioned, "Pupose, purpose purpose? Is that all you lot ever want to talk about?! Annoying! Why think of the purpose, just go with it! You all have too many questions! Anyways, there's a surprise waiting for you all back upstairs. You'll find out you'll get more freedom every time you successfully complete a class trial. Upupupu, enjoy." With that, Monokuma hopped into thin air. The students still struggling to grip what just happened just now stood there, lost as to what to do. As long as there were these incentives and someone was there to fall for them there will always be more murders... Once they were in their right mind they all went to their rooms to sleep for the night. Well all off them were asleep except for one...
"Monokuma, come out, I know you're watching," called out a voice, "I'm asking about that offer you gave but was rejected. I will be your mole, anything you ask of I'll do it so long as my wish is granted."
"Upupupupu," Giggled Monokuma hopping on the student's bed, "If I had known that you would've been prepared to be my mole so readily I would've asked you first. You've got yourself a deal, keep me in the know, and I'll make sure you get exactly what you want." With this Monokuma held out his hand the student shook Monokuma's as an agreement of their deal. Look out students, we've got a mole in the group...
Oh my god, I almost posted this without including the Execution. I was going to die. I would've put more detail, but I wasn't totally sure how to go about describing the execution so sorry if it seems really sucky . Also, I almost vomited a little while I was writing and re-reading this, I think it's because of the tacos I had earlier ; 3; I hope this was okay, I was a bit uncomfortable with how it was going towards the end but... I kinda like it. You know the drill rate and review, post what you like, what you hated, and how I can improve. Thanks love you guys! See you next update! ^3^)/ And ohmigod the author notes bumped the word count from like 5,900 to 7,800 le gasp!
