Ahh. I'm sorry It's late...BUT IT'S FINALLY HERE AT LEAST! So enjoy! Also Dangan Ronpa Does Not Belong To Me, obviously...
When Arisu woke up the next morning she was her normal happy self. The thoughts of the psychotic plushies still loomed in her mind. She was sitting in the kitchen decorating one last batch of cupcakes when her brothers walked in.
"Arisu! Last night your yelling was super loud! What was up?" Arisu blushed slightly as she puffed out her cheeks, spreading the vanilla frosting evenly.
"Arisu doesn't want to tell you. It's nice that you guys care, but Arisu will be fine." Arisu kept decorating the cupcakes as her brother's shrugged, deciding it would be best not to push Arisu further on the subject.
Later in the morning Arisu stood in front of the large oak doors. She had already said her goodbyes to her brothers and Keiko, so she was ready to head out. Just as Arisu was about to leave a soft voice sounded.
"Arisu, were you going to leave without saying goodbye to me? And why aren't you wearing a jacket. Its raining outside and you could get sick!" Arisu turned and saw the smiling face of her mother, her warm russet eyes holding that motherly tone. Arisu saw the light pink raincoat and she smiled back at her mother.
"Arisu would never forget you Mama! Arisu loves you!" Arisu clamped onto her mother tightly, her face flushed bright pink. Arisu was always like this, whenever her mother hugged her she would break down into tears. Arisu managed to hold back the small drops as she forced herself to let go. Arisu gave one last smile to her family, waving a last goodbye as she walked out into the cold rain.
Arisu started skipping through the rain, humming a happy tune and ignoring the glares she received for said humming. Arisu kept walking until she saw the small clear bus stop, Arisu's face scrunched into one of disgust.
"This street is disgusting!" True to the brunettes words, the street was littered with cans, and wet paper. The grass grew wild and untamed, and the bus stop looked like it hadn't been used in decades. Arisu walked up to the mossy bench and smiled happily as she sat down on the soft bench, thankful for the plastic shelter blocking the falling droplets.
Arisu sat still, watching the abandoned street in awe. She was questioning why there were only a few cars driving by, but she brushed it off as a local routine for them. Arisu felt her hand grope for the small invention as she read it over. There wasn't a specific time, so Arisu may as well make herself comfortable. The Cupcake Designer leaned cautiously against the plastic as she settled down. It was very uncomfortable, but she would make do with it. Despite the hard rain and the cramped space, she fell into a light sleep. It was about an hour later when a small rickety white bus drove by, Arisu woke from her sleep with a small spark of excitement and she smiled happily at the small bus. The door opened and Arisu walked aboard as she was about to walk through to sit down, when she heard a small tap. Arisu looked towards the small sound and saw a white box, Arisu was about to question what was wrong when she smelled the strong lemon scent coming from the box.
"Oh You want Arisu's invitation right?" Receiving no response, Arisu slipped the crumpled, wet paper into the box. Once the paper fell into the box, Arisu was shoved forward by something and she fell onto the cold floor of the bus. Arisu flushed lightly as she hoped no one saw her fall. Luck was on her side as it appeared Arisu was the first one to get picked up. Arisu sat in a seat near the front and noted how oddly small the bus was. The invitation did say she had 19 other students and the bus she was on had around 16 seats. Arisu didn't linger too much on the thought as she felt her body go heavy. Arisu sighed at how comfortable the seats were, they felt like heaven. So much better than the grimy bus stop's bench! Arisu felt herself yawn as she slumped she gazed out the window, what she saw was odd. She saw black skies, with white splashes of clouds. She saw red buildings and pink trees. Arisu was about to question the bus driver when she felt herself shut down.
"Is she dead?" Arisu heard a voice boom through her head.
"Don't be preposterous. She still has a pulse unfortunately..."
"What do you mean 'unfortunately'? I feel everyone should stay alive and well thank you!"
Arisu was very confused by all the voices, one sounded extremely angry, the other two were scary and serious. Arisu was scared to wake up almost, but she knew never to judge people by their voices.
"Say um if you don't mind...perhaps we should wake up the lady?"
"Oh yes! I agree, but how do we wake her up?" Arisu was about to try to speak when she felt a light tap on her neck. She was about to question it when her body jolted up like a million sparks as she fell to the ground.
"What did you do?" Arisu heard a voice above her, she helped herself up and she saw 4 people standing together. Arisu looked around and saw they were in some sort of ancient ruins, bits of crumbling pieces littered the ground.
"I simply hit a pressure point in the back of her neck. Said pressure point would help her wake up." Arisu saw a girl who looked around the same age as her blab out. She had long dark brown hair tied in a ponytail, Chartreuse green eyes that pierced through Arisu. She had a nicely ironed dark blue skirt and an equally nice black and white shirt. She carried a small purse that made her look more professional. She had a very clean aura and look in Arisu's eyes.
"Hello are you still there?" Arisu snapped out of her daze and looked down at the clean girl.
"Ah yeah Arisu is still here." Arisu heard a small groan and she turned to see a boy around her height. He had bright red hair, and was wearing a business suit? That just had to be uncomfortable in Arisu's opinion.
"What are you waiting for? Stop dawdling around and introduce yourself!" The boy glared at her with shaded green eyes.
"Ah okay. My name is Arisu Sugimoto, The Ultimate Cake Decorator!" Arisu clapped her hands happily as she saw the girl with the bag stand up next.
"I am Yuki Kaiori, The Ultimate Neat Freak as people would put it." Yuki gave a forced smile as she kicked a rock away from under her.
"I shall go next! I am Hanako Pryce, The Ultimate Actress! Pleased to meet everyone and please call me Hannah!" Hanako gave a huge smile, and Arisu was stunned by her appearance. She had silky pink hair that reached her chin, large forest green eyes that glistened in the sunlight. She was wearing a light pink sundress with a white blouse on top, cute little pink flats, a rather large lavender scarf and two white ribbons attached to her each side of her hair. Arisu had heard rumors about the ultimate actresses, and how amazing she was on the big screen. Arisu had to admit, she didn't watch to many of Hannah's films they were much to sad and dramatic for her liking.
"I guess I'm next. I'm 17..." The last boy stood up, towering over everyone else. Arisu saw 17 ruffle his oddly silver hair, as his cerulean eyes shinned in confusion. He was wearing a baggy grayish blue jacket, a black tank top, dusty brown pants and old ebony black boots. He was holding a shiny, brown guitar over his shoulder as he kept ruffling his head.
"And I'm a Musician? I think..."
Arisu quirked an eyebrow at 17, he was really weird, but Arisu liked him.
"What do you mean 'you think'?" The boy with bright red hair questioned, his tone holding deep annoyance. 17 just blinked slowly.
"Um...I have problems remembering stuff...Like how we ended up here or your name..." Arisu was glad that 17 was hinting the beginning of the mean red-head's introduction. Said boy pushed his glasses up even further, which Arisu was amazed by.
"My matronymic is Drake Stevens. I do not welcome nicknames so keep them among yourselves. And my title is The Ultimate Historian." Drake ended his greeting and walked away from the group. Arisu sighed and mentally made it her goal to make him happy.
"Now that we have all introduced ourselves. I recommend we get out of these trashy ruins!" Yuki proclaimed, kicking bits of debris into all directions. Hanako nodded her agreement as she peered around the tall ruins.
"I agree, Ruins can be dangerous at n-night in the dark." Hanako clutched onto Arisu, who was thinking about how she got here. Yuki glanced upwards, noting a bright hole.
"I guess we must have fell down here, starting with 17." At the mention of his name, 17 stopped poking a wall and walked towards the small group of girls.
"I hate to be a downer, but I don't remember how I got here. All I remember really is Yuki-Chan poking me awake." 17 grinned shyly, as Yuki nodded her approval.
"Quite right. So that means..." As Yuki and 17 talked Arisu was thinking about how she ended up in the ruins as well. She remembered the creepy city she had seen before she fainted, was the bus driver a murderer?
"Arisu is not surprised." Arisu shook her head as she placed her hands o her hips. Hanako, who was sitting nearby stared at Arisu with large spring green eyes.
"What are you talking about?" Hanako's tone now held an angry vibe, her face scrunched in worry.
"What Arisu is saying is that maybe someone above can hear us. Arisu thinks everyone went on a small white bus right?" Everyone stopped what they were doing to listen to Arisu's small speech, nodding in response to Arisu's question. Arisu flushed slightly at the attention she was receiving. She only ever was the center of attention when her siblings were nearby, but she pushed the embarrassment aside.
"And when all the small bus no one was there... Then everyone saw a weird city and then they ended up in here, right?" Once again everyone nodded, Arisu grinned, clapping excitedly. She pointed up to the hole, which was higher than most of the others, even 17 and his skyscraper height.
"So all we need to do is yell for help, and then someone else will come and help us!" Arisu started twirling at her smart tactics.
"Sugimoto-Chan is right. Perhaps asking for help will help us." Yuki was now brushing her espresso brown hair out of her face, she looked stressed out by the dark ruins, but she managed a shaky smile. Arisu stepped on top of a knocked down column and she took a deep breath in.
"HELLO? CAN ANYONE HELP US? PLEASE HURRY!" Arisu screamed at the top of her lungs, she silently hoped someone would hear.
?'s POV
A loud scream of help sounded, I felt myself shiver at the desperation visible in it. I kinda maybe lost my group, though I swear they were just in front of me. I looked around hoping to see anyone, but the only sight was thick, dense green leaves. For an island there sure weren't a lot of palm trees in this forest...Oh right screams of help. Where did it come from, I think it was near my left.. I guess I should try and-Oh great why didn't I see that stump, oh my stomach hurts so bad..At least I wasn't puking up blood, that would be really bad. Ahh what am I doing, people are getting hurt! I trudged through the grim woods, clutching my injured stomach tightly. As I said before it could be worse, i could have been found by an animal and eaten. Though maybe I would give it stomach problems? I probably taste bad..maybe like salt? Not that I planned on meeting any cannibals while I'm here.
"HELP US! HURRY! I DON'T LIKE THIS!" Another scream for help, this one sounded ruder then the last yeller. Was there more than one person stuck? I better hurry, wait...what if this was a trap? No, no I have to calm down. People are in trouble, I wonder if I can even find them. I gotta stop thinking so hard, before I get slapped by a tree branch or something like that. I think I'm actually closer to the exit, it's a lot brighter than before.
"Hold on, I'm coming."
End ?'s POV
All right! That's that, we meet some of Arisu's new friends, and aren't they...friendly? Hehehe probably not, we also get another person who got lost from his group, and he will be the next character we focus on.
And I should explain what the hold up was, so I was originally going to have Arisu on the bus, and her classmates would come up and introduce themselves. But, I felt it would be a bit boring...Meeting on a bus. So they are now on Noizumi Island instead and that's what's up! Any who, i hope you guys enjoyed, and if I'm lucky I can write the next chapter and update School of Despair and Hope! So let's pray, also I appreciate reviews! If you want to leave any... Your choice...Thank you for reading~
