Another rewritten chapter we are chugging along.

Gym 9:53 AM

Ichiro's POV

The room went cold at the bear's words, everyone was speechless but the silence in the air was finally broken by the ultimate pianist.

"Wait, killing game what do you mean?" Kaede asked.

"What do I mean, what I mean is you guys will have to kill each other for your freedom," Monokuma answered.

"Kill each o-other for our freedom," a very nervous Souda worried.

"Ok bear, what's the catch," mused a seemingly intrigued Togami.

"Oh the catch well I guess there is a catch and, a few limitations, the catch is you have to get away with it so after a murder, a trial will commence,"

"And, what of the limitations," Togami continued.

"No more than three murders and accomplices are allowed but, the person who commits the final blow is allowed free, but the killer can save a person from punishment if they so choose," Monokuma explained.

"Wait what do you mean by punishment," Teruteru stammered.

"What I mean is that if the lot of you can't figure out who the blackened is then you will all be punished, but if you do figure out who the blackened is then the blackened is punished instead," Monokuma described.

"So let me sum this up, we are in a killing game where we are forced to kill each other for your Two Tone ass but, then we have to host a trial again for your amusement and, then we vote for who we think is the blackened, did I get that right," I summarized.

"Right square on the head their muscle head,"

"Oh great now he has a nickname for me I am so flattered," I responded sarcastically.

"So anything else we should know," mused Kirigiri.

"Well yes there is one more thing that I have learned from the past is that you kids need a little incentive or what I like to call a motive,"

"A-a-a motive," A worried Mikan stammered.

"Yes dear, and this one will be a doozy I could just tell you now but, I think I'll wait until tomorrow, as this motive takes some preparation as a certain someone has made a pretty good case for themselves to be the first one that I use this motive on,"

"Hey, pal why are you staring at me," I agitatedly stated.

"Oh no reason but, I guess I could give you guys a hint on what it is, it would be fun watching you guys squirm, your hint is you better have no fear for this motive, and before I go I need to give each of you your student handbook, this has all of your info and other student's info on it as well as my rules." Monokuma then passed out a tablet to every student before disappearing into thin air.

"I really hate that bear," I grumbled.

"As we all do Ichiro, I think this will take a while" mused Kirumi.

"What do you mean Kurumi?" Tenko asked.

"What I mean is it may take a while before we get out," Kirumi explained.

"I agree but, shouldn't we look around and, check out these student handbooks," mused Makoto.

Rule #1: Students may reside only within the school. Leaving campus is an unacceptable use of time.Rule #2: "Nighttime" is from 10 pm to 7 am. Some areas are off-limits at night, so please exercise caution.Rule #3: Sleeping anywhere other than the dormitory will be seen as sleeping in class and punished accordingly.Rule #4: With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore Hope's Peak Academy at your discretion.Rule #5: Violence against headmaster Monokuma is strictly prohibited, as is the destruction of surveillance cameras.Rule #6: Anyone who kills a fellow student(s) and becomes "blackened" will graduate, unless they are discovered.Rule #7: No more than three deaths a blackened Rule #8: Additional school regulations may be added if necessary.

"Damn rule number five really ruins my day I was really hoping I could beat his head in," complained Mondo.

"I do as well Mondo but, the one that really bothers me is rule eight, I mean he could literally add, I can kill Ichiro on the thing and, then erase it as soon as he kills me," I protested in anger.

"Although I can't fault your reasoning I doubt he would do that," Mused Celeste.

"Meh, ok so now that we know the oh so happy rule book let's go explore the campus," I sarcastically stated.

"Actually Ichiro before we do that, I think we should make groups to explore, I think it would be safer and easier to do so," Mused Kaede.

"Well I for one don't like the idea and, will explore alone" Mused Togami.

Togami started walking away so I had the bright idea to shout, "Well Togami we will pick your group for you so if you don't like your group that is your fault!"

That got him to stop almost immediately and he said "Well then I'll pick my group but, I will still investigate alone," Togami stated clearly annoyed.

"Ugh fine, get on with it," I stated also annoyed at Togami's bitchy mood.

"I choose Sonia, Kirumi, Celeste, Rantaro, Makoto, and Shuichi, there now Sonia you be the leader while I investigate ALONE," Togami rattled off before emphasizing the last part.

"Ok Togami, ok guys lets get going," Twogami said moving things along.

"Ok, that leaves what forty-two of us so like seven to a group so I guess everyone split off and join groups or whatever" mused Kaito.

"Wait aren't we going to give the option for the others if they want to be in Togami's group," Sayaka asked.

"Its Togami do you really want to argue with him," Makoto answered shyly.

After about ten minutes or so, we had gotten into our groups to search the school but, guessing how Twgomai operates these groups will probably become important again later down the road. For my group, I quite honestly don't know what happened but, Hajime and Mikan who I had already established a connection with during our introductions came to me with Chiaki and Ryoko in tow. Then for whatever reason Sakura wanted to join despite Tenko's objections, and I somehow managed to become the leader of the group despite my objections. (Group: Myself, Hajime, Chiaki, Ryoko, Mikan, Sakura, and Tenko.)

The next group seemed to make sense then it didn't, like Nekomaru, Akane, Mondo, Leon, and Kaito together make sense then there is Chihiro and, Maki. My guess is that Chihiro would rather be with a stronger group that can protect her because she is relatively weak. Then if I had to guess Kaito probably forced Maki to join, despite her objections. (Group: Nekomaru, Akane, Mondo, Leon, Chihiro, Leon, Kaito, Maki).

The next group was a full-on girl power group. It seemed like Aoi, Sayaka, and Kaede just grabbed a bunch of girls and, put them all into a group. My guess is that they grabbed all of the anti-social girls and, put them all in the same group. (Group: Aoi, Junko, Kaede, Sayaka, Himiko, Toko, Hiyoko)

The next group was more of a hodgepodge of a group. In my opinion, I think Taka just forced all of the stragglers and, outcasts that weren't in a group. Obviously, I think none of them want to be in that group. (Group: Taka, Hiro, Yamada, Fuyuhiko, Peko, Teruteru, Kiyo)

The next group seemed like Kyoko's watch list. It looks like a hodgepodge at first glance but, if take a closer look it's a lot of people that aren't the inconspicuous out there and, even Shirogane who seems extremely Plane Jane seemed a little off to a few of us. (Group Kyoko, Nagito, Angie, Miu, Keebo, Ouma, Shirogane).

The last group were basically the leftovers that weren't necessarily outcasts but, were still left out so, Twogami brought them all together to make sure they weren't left out of everything. (Group: Twogami, Kazuichi, Gonta, Mahiru, Ibuki, Gundham, Ryoma).

The leaders of each group were me, Nekomaru, Kaede, Taka, Kyoko, and Twogami. Twogami also mentioned to us that he would want us to get together at some point to discuss matters. Now what those matters are I don't have a clue but, I will find out eventually.

"So how about we just split up and, meet at the dining hall after we are done," Offered Twogami.

"Who died and, put you in charge," Complained Kazuichi.

"Well would you like to be in charge Kazuichi, I'm sure you would do a great job," Ryoko smirked.

"Oh well um I was just thinking we should at least take a vote," Kazuichi answered nervously.

"Well Kazuichi we can do that later, right now I think we should investigate this school first, see what we have to work with," Nagito suggested.

"I agree, I think Taka's group should start in the kitchen because they have Teruteru in their group," Hajime mused.

"Ok then, I think our groups should spread out and, search the building," Mahiru mused.

"I agree with Mahiru, my group let's go," I stated.

Our group decided to investigate the classrooms, followed by the nurse's office, and then lastly the washer and, dryer room before heading to the dorms to look at our own rooms.

Classroom 1-A 10:12 AM

"So let's see here desks, desks and, more desks is there really anything exciting here" Mused a sarcastic Ryoko.

"Ok since I'm assuming classrooms 1-B and, 1-C are the same, how about we split into three groups and, cover each of them now me and Ryoko will take this room, Hajime, Chiaki, Mikan you take 1-B and Sakura and, Tenko you take 1-C and, don't leave any desk unchecked there could be something there," I called out.

After we split up Ryoko and I started checking each desk, I started by checking what looked like the teacher's desk.

"Hmm looks like everything was cleared out of here Ryoko, almost to clean like someone made extra sure we wouldn't find something, although I could be jumping to conclusions here which can be possible," I mused.

"Although I would definitely disagree and, say that's nuts, I think you may be right this is almost to clean," Ryoko agreed.

"Hmm since we are alone, what do you think of the others," I asked.

"Some weird, some loud, some possibly normal, but I have my opinions and, speaking of the others, I offered Mikan some I guess therapy so she isn't so depressed and, always apologizing and, second-guessing herself," Ryoko informed me.

"Cool, I was going to offer myself but, never got around to it," Ichiro offered.

"So what do you think of the others?" Ryoko asked.

"I think they all have their quirks, some more annoying than others," I answered.

"You're referencing Taka and Togami aren't you," Ryoko smirked.

"Maybe, but since we are done with this waste of a room let's go check with the others," I stated ending the conversation.

So after checking with each of the others who all came up empty handed, we then moved onto the nurse's room which we had Mikan take the lead on for obvious reasons.

"So Mikan anything useful or out of the ordinary?" Asked Hajime.

"Well a-a-all the medicine seems to be the c-c-common stuff like Nyquil or Tylenol, b-b-but everything seems to be in order," She stated.

"Mikan is there anything you need to check before we head off," Hajime questioned.

"N-n-no not right now, I can go more in-depth later," She answered.

"Ok then let's move on to the oh so fun laundromat," I sarcastically stated.

"Do we really have to go there, I mean the washer and dryer isn't very exciting," whined Tenko.

"Well do you want to switch with Twogami's group and check what the bathrooms have in store," I countered.

"Well no," Tenko answered.

"Ok good, laundromat here we come,"

We moved onto the laundromat moving past the bathrooms, the sauna, the bathhouse, the computer lab, AV room and, lastly the arcade room which contained some kind of prizes like a stuffed bear and, a hunter's knife before making our way to the laundromat. Where we found five sets of washers and, dryers for clothing and a few chairs for probably waiting, and, in a small janitors closet contained detergent, soap and other things that you use for laundry. But, ultimately we found nothing of noteworthiness.

"So I guess we each go check our dorms," Sakura wondered.

"I woke up in the dorm hallway for some reason, and the girls' dorms are on the right and, the guys are on the left side," Hajime said.

"Ok, so I guess we split up, for now, let's get going Hajime" I stated.

We walked for a bit down the hallway, Hajime's room along with mine were at the end of the hallway, his room was on the right and, mine was across from his. We both went into our rooms and, I was greeted with more metal plates. But, there was also a king size bed with red bed sheets and white pillows, as well as red carpet, it also had one of those manikins with my old football uniform on it, the décor included red walls with wooden furniture and red cushions.

There was a dresser with five different things on it, one being a football, the second a picture of my family before my father's death, the third being a pocket knife that my dad gave to me, it has a wooden handle painted yellow and, it had a metal piece at the bottom of the handle and, the blade was way less than new as there was very noticeable rust on it, the fourth item was my iPod with headphones plugged in, the last item was a note from the devil himself.

Dear Ichiro,I have given you four things, the football for obvious reasons I mean you are the Ultimate American Football Star, after all, the photo was something I found lying around in your bag from your flight here and, the knife I gave to you for an emotional motive from your family and, a weapon for you, if you can't gain access to other weapons, the last one the iPod (which has a battery life that lasts for over a year) I decided to give to you because I feel you'll want some music to help comfort you after you kill someone.

Sincerely your pal,Monokuma

"Ugh fuck him, he really gave me these things that are a part of my life, but instead he gives them to me as killing incentives," I grumbled.

I walked around and, checked my closet and, found a few different pairs of shoes a fancy pair of shoes along with a pair of Adidas that looked like a casual pair of shoes as well as a pair of Under Armors that also seemed like one of those flashy pairs that you don't wear often, and they were all black like my Nikes that I use for my workouts. It also contained multiple sets of clothing like the ones I'm wearing, grey jacket, worn blue jeans, and a white shirt with a black phoenix decal on the front. It also contained a suit, swim trunks, and a pair of sweats and a tank top which is oddly what I wear to sleep.

'This bear knows more about us then I think we know, no one knows that's what I wear to sleep, so how does he know that.' I wondered to myself.

I went into the bathroom next to where I found a sink, a toilet, and a shower. After that, I grabbed my iPod and, stuffed it into my inside jacket pocket along with the AirPods that came with it. I also put my pocket knife in my dresser drawer and, I left my football and, photo on the top of the drawer as I felt no need in hiding them.

Dining Hall 12:07 AM

I started walking to the dining room not realizing how long I had spent in my dorm room, I was the last one to arrive and, when I walked through the door expecting the ball buster to jump on my case but, he seemed fine with me being last I pulled up a chair next to Ryoko and Hajime.

"So what did the groups fine, because all we found was a whole lot of nothing, except for some pain relievers and, other stuff in the nurse's office," I spoke.

"Well, I think I speak for the whole fucking group by saying we all found nothing fucking useful to us," Fuyuhiko declared.

"Well this school does seem loaded, I mean an arcade, a computer lab and, an A.V. room separate from the computer lab, I mean even the most expensive private schools don't have that," mused Kaito.

"Hmm so basically we are stuck and, if we want to get out we need to kill someone, sounds like hell for us and, fun for the bear" Maki summed up.

"Ugh I hate this and, I'm hungry could someone fix me something" whined Hyoko.

"I'm hungry too, yo Teruteru you're a cool guy, go make something!" shouted Akane.

"Of course I would love to, but I'm going to need help so if any of you have any cooking experience, I could really use the help," Teruteru requested.

"I am a maid so I need to know how to cook," offered Kirumi.

"Ok I guess that will work, any requests," Teruteru asked.

"Um yeah good tasting food!" shouted Akane.

"Ok so while they are doing that what should we talk about," I suggested.

"WELL I THINK WE SHOULD DISCUSS THE GIFTS AND, NOTES LEFT BY MONOKUMA," Taka pondered.

"Anyone find anything important in their notes or gifts," Sonia questioned.

"My note said that he gave gifts based on how he thought you would finish, if you had one gift he expected you to die early, if you got two he expected you to die towards the middle, if three then he expected you to last towards the end, and if you got four he thought you would be one of the two left standing," Togami explained.

"Now here's a question who got the four gifts," Junko wondered.

"I got two gifts, a photo, and a football," I answered. I can't let them know that I got the four they will consider me a threat or a mole or something, and I don't need that in this place.

"Can we assume that you aren't lying" mused Togami.

"Really Togami, I could be asking how many gifts you got which is probably one because you're ego will get you killed," Ryoko sounded.

"Plebeian could you please be quiet I don't have time for you," Togami stated waving off the comment.

"PLEBEIAN, PLEBEIAN did you seriously just call me that you rich scum," Ryoko shouted in anger.

"Rich scum how dare you offend the heir to the Togami Corporation," Togami stated in disgust.

"CLASSMATES WE MUST NOT FIGHT, IT ISN'T WELCOME IN A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT," Taka yelled trying to calm Ryoko and, Togami down.

"Dude do you always have to yell, we're like five feet away from each other," Complained Kaito.

"Ok, how do I defuse this situation, Kiyotaka stop yelling, Ryoko stop speaking before Togami kills you in your sleep, and Togami just … shut the fuck up," I said trying to stop this from becoming a bar fight.

"Did you just tell me to shut the fuck up," Togami questioned offended at the disrespect to him.

"Yes I did, Teruteru hurry up with that food so Togami will shut up!" I yelled toward the kitchen.

"Of course Ichiro! It's almost done," Teruteru answered.

As this was said Kirumi came out with plates and, asked if she could get some help with the silverware, which Taka and, I got up to help her. After awhile Teruteru came out with a pot filled with a chicken stew that tasted heavenly. After Akane getting fourths and, everyone else either in the middle of seconds or finishing their first we started discussing our situation and what we found out from our search of the school.

"SO WHAT DID WE ALL FINE!" Taka asked the group.

"A whole lot a squat," muttered an irritated Mondo.

"No we actually did find something," an excited Ibuki spoke.

"What did you guys find," Sayaka asked.

"In the bathroom, there was a closet with BROOMS in it," Ibuki stated like an idiot.

"Ibuki not helpful," Twogami wisely asserted.

"Well Ibuki is half right we did find something, we found what our boundaries are", mused Celeste.

"I guess Celeste is right," Mused Sakura.

"Ok so we have a kitchen, dining hall, gym, three classrooms, two bathrooms, and an A.V. room, and a computer lab with it, a laundromat, an incinerator room, an arcade, and lastly a sauna and bathhouse," Kaede summed up.

"I hate to crash your party Kaede darling but the computer lab, bathhouse, and sauna are all locked" mused Junko.

"Now why would he lock them, I mean the only thing that I guess that makes sense which you didn't mention, was the stairs leading upstairs were locked as well," Mused Saihara.

"I would love to answer that little sleuth," The bear said, coming out of no where.

"Ah what are you doing here," exclaimed Aoi.

"To answer your question of why certain things are locked and, to think you guys liked me,"

"Which we don't!" Shouted Hiro.

"Well, I guess I don't have to answer your guys's question,"

"No, if you would forget about Hiro and tell us why the rooms are locked if you would please," Sayaka elegantly stated.

"Well, how can a bear say no to that, well it takes three trials to unlock each floor but, I decided to give you guys a room on each floor to unlock after each murder,"

"Oh, so we get rooms and floors for killing our classmates how fun," Ryoko sarcastically stated.

"Oh yes very fun for me, but I have to get back to work so I can get buzzy getting your first motive ready," Monokuma stated before disappearing again.

"What does he mean by buzzy?" mused Kaede.

"Oh, Gonta thinks it could mean a lot of things, like bees or flies or many other bugs that buzz," Gonta ecstatically replied.

"Gonta I think you're onto something," mused Twogami.

"I have a few ideas of what it could be," I mused.

"Like what Ichiro?" Kirumi questioned.

"Well I think that it has something to do with bugs or possibly worse fears," I answered.

"Now why would you think that Ichiro," Nanami asked.

"Well... let's just say it's a hunch," I replied.

"It's a very wild hunch but a viable one indeed," mused Celeste.

"Well now that I think we are done here I'm going to hit the arcade," exclaimed Hyoko.

Hyoko got up and, left with Chiaki, Kirumi, Hifumi, Tsumugi, and Fujisaki who all got up and, left with her. Others soon followed suit with Byakuya and Ryoma going back to their dorms, Sakura, Nekumaru, Aoi, Akane, Tenko, Leon, Kaito, and Mondo all heading to the gym to train. Others started leaving for their dorms as well which included Fuyuhiko, Peko, Celeste, Kiyo, Nagito, Gundham, Ouma, Kyoko, Maki, Toko, and lastly, Angie all went back to their dorms for one reason or another. Teruteru then offered Miu, Ryoko, and Kaede cooking lessons which they all declined unsurprisingly.

After a few minutes, Ryoko walked up to me with Mikan and Hajime in tow and said "Remember what I told you earlier,"

"Oh yeah you wanted me to help you to improve Mikan's confidence, but why is Hajime here?" I spoke.

"Well, he asked if he could join as he also offered her the same thing," Ryoko explained.

"Huh interesting, so I guess here is my first question which is where do we start, I mean it's not like we are the Ultimate Counselors," I stated.

"Well there is another reason I came to you besides the fact that I know you a little better than the others here, it's that I feel you have the most confidence because of your background," Ryoko explained.

"My background?" I asked, confused at what she was getting at.

"Well yeah as a football player don't you have to be strong not just physically but mentally as well," She explained.

"Well yes,"

"There you go,"

"Ok well, I guess the first thing would be, probably to talk about what happened in the past that made you so unconfident in yourself," I guessed.

"W-w-well as a child m-m-my parents were r-r-really mean, and they b-b-beat me daily for m-m-making mistakes, m-m-my mother and father w-w-were both drunks,"

Flashback

"Mikan get your ass over here, did you forget to get me some beer from the store."

" Y-y-yes Dad I'm sorry Dad please don't beat me."

"Bitch you know the rules any fuck ups and you get whipped."

WHAPWHAPWHAPWHAP

"Bitch don't ever forget my beer ever again."

"Y-y-yes, dad."

"Better, now go get some beer before your slut mother gets home, or it's another beating except this time it's on the head."

End Flashback

"Wow Mikan I-I-I don't know what to say except your family is evil, why I oughta tear each of their drunken limbs off and, then feed them to some junkyard dogs," I seethed with anger.

"Now Ichiro let's calm down before you kill somebody," Ryoko said trying to calm me down.

"Heh you don't have to worry about me there, I'm going to kill the bear before I kill anyone here," I affirmed.

"I think we all would," joked Hajime.

"Well I think the first step would be to get you more confident would be speaking to others without the stutter, you may still not be as confident but, it gives the impression that you are. I don't have any specific drills for that which is what I think Ryoko here came to me for, but honestly, if I've learned anything it's that perfect practice makes perfect, which means practice with intent and, be conscious of what you are doing which will equal perfection," I explained.

"T-t-thank you for your help I-I-I am forever grateful," Mikan thanked.

Arcade 3:42 PM

After a while, I decided to hit up the arcade see what was there. I walked in to see Hyoko and, Chiaki battling it out on the dance floor and they were pretty close in the scores. I found a few different games in the arcade, the dancing one like I previously mentioned, as well as two racing games, one of those zombie hunter games, a slot machine, as well as air hockey and that, was it.

"Hey anyone wanna go at it with me in air hockey," I challenged.

"I accept your challenge, good sir," Mused Hifumi.

"I instantly regret this," I muttered under my breath.

We agreed on a score of seven, where I also let Hifumi go first because I wanted to give the guy a chance but, it ended pretty miserably for Hifumi as I scored seven points in probably a record time of two minutes.

"Hey, could someone come over here and give me a challenge," I complained.

"Hey Itchy-ro I'll give you a fucking challenge," Miu shouted.

Fuck "Hey Miu I didn't see you walk in," I said.

"Well, you're going to wish you had as I'm going to cream you in this game," Miu challenged.

Same as I played Hifumi she served first and, we went to seven. I have to admit she wasn't as bad as Hifumi she actually scored once but, I soon put an end to her as I got to seven in about five minutes.

"Ok, can I get Chiaki over here who could possibly put up a fight or could someone run and get Leon," I complained.

"Ichiro I think you need to stop beating everyone at air hockey and, maybe go join Sakura and the group in their training," suggested Fujisaki.

"I might as well take your advice Chihiro, thank you," I thanked Chihiro and, left for the gym.

Gym 4:05 PM

"Ok Tenko not bad but, this time you and, Akane need to work together," mused Sakura.

"Hey, guys mind if I join in," I asked cheerfully.

"No we don't want you here degenerate," Tenko angrily responded.

"Um ok, I'll just go then?" I answered, confused about what just happened.

"No Ichiro it's fine she is just trying to adjust here," Explained Sakura.

"Um ok, so what are we doing?" I questioned.

"Well, you can do conditioning with Nekomaru or fighting class with me," Sakura answered.

"I'll take the fighting option, I need to learn how to beat two tone's head in," I answered enthusiastically, excited to learn something new.

"Although I strongly advise against that, I will allow it when you can get away with it," Sakura replied.

"Alright, so what are we doing in fighting class?" I asked.

"Well, it's basically all of you against me," Sakura responded.

"That sounds either easy or really hard," I replied.

"We shall see what you think after," Sakura mused.

"Alright so I heard what she was telling you guys before, we need to work together, so here's my idea..." Before I could even continue Tenko decided to voice her opinion.

"I don't have to listen to you degenerate," Tenko interrupted.

"Well then do you have a plan," I asked.

"Well I do let's go all out against the Sensei and, beat her," Yelled Akane.

"Um, I think we should put more strategy into this plan of yours," I stated nervously.

"No I agree with her, besides any plan you come up with is bound to fail," Tenko asserted.

"Ok I guess will go with Akane,"

"Alright, Sakura we're Ready!" Yelled Akane.

Gym 5:32

Let's just say the training didn't go well, and yes we had multiple fights with all ending in a loss due to no one listening to all of our options all we did was go head first into a loss. First Akane would get herself face planted then Tenko would get thrown into the ground and, I would try not to get myself punched in the face while the other two tried to recover. Which in my opinion worked out the first time and then it stopped working after I started getting punched a lot. But, due to all of the beatings you take in football games I was able to take all of the body shots and, was able to dodge the shots to the legs ok but, eventually, I was worn down to extinction. We even had an audience from Nekomaru's group, which had a certain baseball player laughing his ass off.

"Come on man you couldn't even land a solid blow," Leon teased.

"Ok, Leon I want you to get up from your seat and, fight anyone sitting in this room," I countered.

"Um yeah my arm is sore so I'm kinda like not able to fight anyone," Leon timidly spoke.

"That's what I thought Leon, I'm hungry let's go get dinner," I said changing the subject.

"Yeah I'm hungry too, and I want doughnuts," Aoi ecstatically said.

"Ok then, since I'm in the mood for fish, I'll be cooking if anyone else wants some," I offered.

"I could go for some fish myself," mused Leon.

"Does anyone have a preference?" I asked.

"How about something small, I don't think many of us are hungry after today," mused Aoi.

"Ok how about some trout, small but very appetizing," I offered.

"Ok, Ichiro let's go see how good you are at cooking" Nekomaru challenged.

Kitchen 6:05 PM

The only people that were in the dining hall was the group that came with me from the gym as well as Ryoko, Mikan, and Hajime who were already there.

"Ok, who is ready for the Ichiro special, of salmon seasoned with rosemary, pepper, squeezed lemon juice, and my own secret seasoning. Bon Appetit," I smiled happily with my dish.

"Wow, Ichiro this is amazing where did you learn to cook like this," shouted Akane.

"Well, my father made fishing rods and, would go fishing every weekend and, he would bring back some fish, he would later teach me how to catch, fillet and, cook fish. I specialize in salmon and, trout but, if you want something else I can do breakfast as well," I explained.

"Huh that's cool Ichiro, man I wish I had you around in my gang," mused Mondo.

"Yeah I'll have to pass on that offer," I said.

We sat and talked for a few hours, a few people came and went like Hiyoko who grabbed a bag of Haribo Gummy Bears and went back to her room with Kirumi. After a while, I excused myself and left for my room to go to bed early.

Dorm Room 8:31 PM

I wanted to hit the hay early because I wanted to be running on all cylinders for the motive tomorrow. I hopped into bed and put my earbuds in and started listening to Airplanes by B.o.B and, I fell asleep almost immediately, but what I saw in my dream seemed nearly like a memory.

Crit FailThanks for the advice.

Another chapter done thank you all for reading my story
