I don't own any of the following characters. Please excuse any of my infamous grammar mistakes. I would like to say that I had this chapter written out before I asked for the suggestions. Hitman Reborn is owned by Akria Amano, and Dangan Ronpa is owned by Kazutake Kodaka Please remember to favorite and follow. Enjoy!
Nasha Rei-Kun- I made the killer was obvious for two reasons. One, there's going to be a parallel between this story and my previous one. Two, remember that Ishimaru was a victim in three chapter in the game, and Hiyoko was also a victim in the third chapter.
Ultimate Challenge writer: I'm caught literally between Mikan and Fuyuhiko, but I'm gonna make a poll for the two of them. Y'all get to decide.
LAST TIME WITH ENMA:
ENMA: Hiyoko Saionji! You're the murderer!
MONO: Upupup! Do you all agree with Hajime and Enma?
Everyone looked at the two of us. Well, we're the ones who they'll blame if we're wrong.
YUKIZOME: Yes, we deducted that Hiyoko is the killer. Are we right?
MONO: Upupup! You...are...absolutely...100%...correct! Hiyoko Saionji is the killer! It's time for the execution!
TRIAL MODE: FINISHED!
"We were right?" Chiaki said with dread in her voice. Now Hiyoko is going to die for crimes. Why did it have to come to this?
"Upupup! Yep, the person who killed Teruteru Hanamura, the Ultimate Cook, was Hiyoko Saionji, the Ultimate Traditional Dancer!" Monokuma rocked in his chair, laughing at the visible pain on our faces. We're about to lose another classmate. Doesn't he care? "Since I'm merciful, I'll give Hiyoko some time before her despair-inducing execution."
"How about you don't go through with the execution altogether?" I pleaded.
"Can't! It would go against my moral. She's going to die today!"
"Monokuma, please weconsidw!" Monomi wiped a tear from her mechanical eye. How is she cry? Wait, that's not important right now. Hiyoko is going die.
"Upupup! Plead all you want, but someone is going to die today. I can promise you that."
"But-" Ms. Yukizome was immediately cut off by Monokuma revealing his claws.
"I said she's going to die. You all correctly picked the culprit, and now the culprit, Hiyoko, must die."
"You little fucker..." Fuyuhiko closed his eyes and clenched his fist to repress the rage building inside of him.
"I don't want to die..." Hiyoko finally spoke since the end of the trial.
"So why did you kill Teruteru?" Koyo looked down at her with anger seeping out of his voice.
"I didn't mean to. I'm sorry."
"Sorry? Do you not realize what you have done? Sonia is in a coma, and Teruteru is dead because of what?" Koyo snapped at her making her flinch from terror. "Answer me! What was the point of it?"
"Koyo, aren't you being a bit too harsh? She's a little girl." Mahiru defended the small traditional dancer.
"Oh, that is no little girl. She's a murderer, and you know it." Fuyuhiko barked at the photographer.
"That doesn't mean he can talk to her like that. She has her inalienable rights!"
"Mahiru, this not to the time for your feminist shit. She killed someone, and we want to know why."
"That's rich coming from a Yakuza! You probably killed hundreds. Where's their justice?"
"Bitch, what the hell do you know about my life? You don't know shit!"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Ms. Yukizome shouted with tears pouring down her face. "I won't allow you two to argue anymore. Apologize to one another."
"But-"
"APOLOGIZE!"
"Sorry..." Fuyuhiko and Mahiru muttered barely above a whispered.
"Now, Hiyoko," Ms. Yukizome picked the traditional dancer off the floor and looked her directly in the eyes. "Why did you decide to kill your classmate?"
"I...I was at my wit's end. I couldn't take it anymore. Everything was becoming too much for me...the Monobeast...Enma and Koyo's freaking powers... The stress was too much for me. I couldn't sleep. I could barely eat. I wanted to leave... When I caught Teruteru taking a picture of me in my room, I don't know what happened... I heard a voice in my head."
"A voice? What did it say to you?"
"This is my chance to get out. No one would miss Teruteru. Everyone hated him, so I would be doing everyone a favor by killing him... It sounded so sweet and innocent. I felt like I could trust the voice. It's the one who came up with the plan. It knew it was foolproof. The whole thing was supposed to be foolproof."
"You were possessed by a demon?" Tanaka gasped. "What is the voice telling you now?"
"Nothing...It disappeared ever since I was pointed out. It abandoned me when I needed it the most... That stupid voice..."
"I don't want to be the guy, but how do we know she's telling the truth?" Souda nonchalantly scratched his chin. "I mean she could be just lying to cover her skin."
I stared at the Ultimate Mechanic in complete shock, not because he said something so outrageous but because I couldn't prove him wrong. Hiyoko could very well be lying to get sympathy out of us, or she could be telling us the truth. The odds of both were equal, but I had nothing that could tip the scale in either one's favor.
"Believe her." Togami shattered the silence in the room. "I rather Hiyoko know that at least one of her classmates believed her till the end."
"Togami..." Hiyoko held back the tears.
"Togami's right. I still believe that good exist in Hiyoko." Chiaki smiled with her hand on her heart. Either everyone nodded in agreement to what Togami and Chiaki were saying or said something along the lines.
"Upupup...Aw, this is so sweet. You're breaking my mechanical heart." Monokuma showed his ugly voice again in our conversation. "You all have moved me. I decided to tell you all why Teruteru did what he did."
"That's right. Hiyoko how did you know it was Teruteru that took the pictures." Mahiru gasped.
"I never actually saw him...hehe...I figured he would the only one who do something weird." Hiyoko twirled her fingers in a circle.
"Upupup...So no one ever saw Teruteru take the pictures?" Monokuma asked.
"No, everyone except Hiyoko was asleep when it happened." Nekomaru clarified. "What's the point of asking that type of question?"
"Upupup! I rather have everyone here when I explain the whole thing." Monokuma sharpened one of his nails and poked Sonia's hand until she started bleeding. "The procedure is done. Dr. Kill Good kept his side of the deal."
Almost instantly, Sonia's eyes shot open and rose to a sitting position.
"Ho-How did you do that?" Milan asked while pointing a shaky finger at Monokuma.
"Upupup! I ain't telling." Monokuma snickered.
"May I ask where am I?" Sonia looked the room for someone, really anyone, to answer.
"This is where we held Teruteru's murder trial." Souda saluted for some reason. She's a princess, not a sergeant.
"I see...So it wasn't a hallucination ...Teruteru was kill by Hiyoko." Sonia sighed as if this wasn't a major surprise.
"Wa-Wait, yo-you saw Hiyoko do it?" Mikan squeaked.
"Yes, I believe I was eating while it happened. I passed out before I could stop her."
"Is that why Monokuma kept you knocked out until the trial?" Komaeda paused to think.
"Upupup! That's absolutely correct. It would be beary boring if Sonia just pointed out the killer, so I waited until it was all over to wake her up."
"Gasp!" Ibuki literally said and did the action.
"That was a dirty trick Monokuma." Monomi I attempted, keyword, to growl at the black and white bear, but it came out a whimper.
"And I blindly agreed to the terms." Togami lowered his head in disappointment. "I could've bargained."
"We can't change the past, but we can learn from it. Next time, we should negotiate with him." Chiaki said it as if Monokuma wasn't present at the moment. "How are you feeling, Sonia?"
"Aside from a small headache, I am completely normal," Sonia answered.
"That ma-makes sense. It's from taking too many sleeping pills." Milan deducted.
"Sleeping pills? I do not remember taking any."
"They were in the pancakes along with weed that gave some of us hallucinations," Fuyuhiko answered.
"I see..."
"We're glad to have you back Sonia." Hinata helped her off the ground.
"Thank you, I am glad to be back."
"Aww, this such a touching reunion. It just makes me want to." Monokuma whimpered as if he was moved by us checking on Sonia. "ruin it."
"Monokuma?"
"Back to what I was saying before Sleeping Beauty woke up."
"The thing with no one seeing Teruteru taking pictures?" Akane asked.
"Yeah, was anyone's lock broken this morning? I'm just curious. I gotta replace the whole door if that's the case." Monokuma asked, but no one spoke up. That is weird. I didn't notice anything wrong with my door. "All of your doors were fine? That's weird! I never gave Teruteru access to your rooms either!"
"Wait! Th-That can't be right! It has to be Teruteru! We found the pictures in his room! Mahiru's camera was in there!" I shouted.
"So you assumed that Teruteru would leave that kind of evidence in his room? That's a big jump isn't it?" Monokuma continued to toy with us.
"Get to the point already! Did Teruteru do it or not?" Souda was clearly losing his patience.
"But it's so dramatic when you're given small hints."
"Fucking Monokuma! If Teruteru didn't do it, who did it?" Fuyuhiko was at his wit's end.
"Does that mean I killed Teruteru for nothing?!" Hiyoko nearly passed out from the realization. "Please tell me Teruteru did all that! He had to! He's the biggest pervert here!"
"Another assumption?!" Monokuma gasped. "I'm sorry, but Teruteru never touched Mahiru's camera."
"Teruteru died for nothing...He was completely innocent, and we blamed him." I whispered.
"Then, who planted the evidence in his room?" Nekomaru asked.
"Someone with access to all our rooms," Hinata concluded.
"Monokuma...you're the only one who could've done it! You're the one who opened Teruteru's door for us!" I shouted.
"You caught me red-handed well pawed. Same thing." Monokuma shrugged as this meant nothing to him. "I took the pictures, and I planted the evidence in his room."
"Double gasp!" Ibuki gasped twice.
"Why? Why would you doing something like that?" Sonia reverted back to sitting on the floor as her legs gave out.
"Because I was bored, you all were trying so hard to get along, and it was boring me to death. Sooooo, I decided to mix it up a bit and take pictures of you while you caught some Zs. Then, I simply put everything in Teruteru's room for safe keeping."
"You framed Teruteru, and we all fell for it..." Ms. Yukizome muttered.
The whole room fell silent again as that words hung over our head. We played right into Monokuma's hands. He did all this...manipulated us like we were pawns...just to get us to the killings started. And we fell for it. We blindly blamed Teruteru for what happened. I believed he would do something like this to us. God, that weird voice was right. Everything in the dark will come to the light, and that's when you'll despair once again.
"Upupup! It's time for the execution!" Monokuma's laugh echoed through the room. That's right...Hiyoko is to be executed because of Monokuma's meddling in our lives.
"Wait!" Hiyoko screamed with tears pouring her face, hair completely ruined, and probably on the brink of a mental breakdown. "I'll do anything! Anything you want! Please do execute me! I don't want to die!"
"Are you being sincere?" Togami oddly asked.
"Yes! Yes, I am. I'll do anything. I just don't want to die."
"Then, you won't die."
"Huh? Togami what are you talking about?" Ms. Yukizome asked with a worried tone.
"I am willing to be executed in Hiyoko's place."
"That's crazy!" Ibuki started foaming at the mouth, so Mikan rushed over to check on her.
"Togami, you don't have to do this. Think rational." I grabbed him by the shirt.
"Am I not the leader?"
"Yes, you are but-"
"Is not the job of the leader to protect as many people possible?"
"Yes, that's true, but-"
"So what's wrong with my logic? As the leader, I'm choosing to protect a member of our group."
"Togami, you got that wrong!" Chiaki shot through his whole stance with power behind her voice. "You're not protecting anyone. You're running away from your position!"
"What? How dare you?"
"If you die now, who is suppose to lead us? If you really wanted to protect as many people, you would try to prevent any more murders from happening. By dying, you would leave us leaderless." Chiaki should be the leader with all this inspiration.
"Besides, I wasn't gonna allow Togami to die. The rules clearly state that only the blackened will die if they are correctly picked." Monokuma reminded him. "Let's get the show on the road with everyone's first execution of the game! It's punishment time!"
"Hiyoko Saionji has been charged with murder. Proceeding with Execution Plan #14: Petal Dance!" A robotic voice rang throughout the trial ground.
HIYOKO'S POV
A chain grabbed me by my neck and ripped me from Ms. Yukizome's arms. I felt like I was being strangled. I reached out to my classmate, but they were getting farther and farther away. My kimono as tearing the more I was drag through the tunnel. My bow flew off along the way, so I had to hold my clothes together until the very end.
At the end of the tunnel, I felt my back hit a metal post. I tried to scream to vocalize my pain, but pure silence came out. A metal chain wrapped around me several times, so I couldn't escape. I don't even have room to turn my neck. I looked forward, the only direction I could look really, and somehow I was on a beach with a view of the sunset. Wait, we went into a mountain, and that elevator ride was too freaking long for us to be on beach level. We could've had the trial on the beach!
Two Monokumas in kimonos danced into my vision range. I rolled my eye and let out a groan. Oh haha, it's because I'm a dancer isn't it? Flower petals started falling from the sky. This isn't much of an execution unless the point is to bore me to death. They're not even dancing! That's fucking twerking! There's a difference!
The two Monokumas stopped 'dancing' and each pulled out a flower cutout. They waved the flowers as if they were paper fans. The ones I usually use during my performances. Ugh, this is so stupid. Just let me go already. I apologized already! The Monokuma on the left threw his flower at the right side out me. I instinctively flinch.
Slit!
I screamed as I felt the supposed cutout cut completely through the flesh and bone in my right legs. A part of me wanted to not look and believe that I didn't just lose my leg and my future, and the other part wanted to cry. I chose to keep my eyes shut and just scream and sob.
Slit!
This time I felt my left arm get sliced off. This time the pain was too much to bear, and my eyes shot open. At some point, the number of Monokumas went from two to well past twenty. Each had its own flower. They got into two horizontal line, one on the left and one the right. A Monokuma from the left twirled and threw it's flower at me, leaving a deep gash on my left side of my stomach. Then, it was a Monokuma from the right that did the same thing. Left! Slash!
Right! Slash!
Left! Slash!
Right! Slash!
Left! Slash!
Right! Slash!
Left! Slash!
Right! Slash!
Left! Slash!
Right! Slash!
Left! Slash!
Right! Slash!
Left! Slash!
Right! Slash!
Left! Slash!
Right! Slash!
It finally stopped. I...can barely...think. I lost...too much blood...I get that...I did something wrong...but I can't...take anymore...Please stop... Is the despair too much? The same mental picture of a person popped up in my head. It was a faint silhouette of someone with twin pigtails. I couldn't tell how old the person was, but from the voice, I knew it was girl's voice.Ugh...I blame...you for...this. Too bad this is your end. Don't worry I'll put your body to good use when I win. What...is that supposed...to mean? Don't worry about that. I'm gonna bring back someone special to me. Here comes the finale! Heads up!
With the little strength I had, I looked up and saw a Monokuma theme flower flying towards my neck. Oh, fuck you! I glared at the Monokumas with the rest of my energy. Everything went black after that moment.
