Hey guys! It's been awhile since I updated, hasn't it? I literally have no excuse for being this late. I'm trying to update more often but I have no home computer at the moment. So here's Chapter 4 right now. I have written how the first case will go, so don't worry about this being a fluffy fanfiction. This is a Dangan Ronpa fanfiction. Please leave me a review! Those give me motivation.
Nove and Zhen belongs to FireDusk
Nikhil belongs to Nikhilbhavani
Akari belongs to me
I hope that you enjoy this chapter!
"We need to scout the school." Kyouko stated, breaking the thick and heavy hostility in the room with her sharp and direct words. "Even if we can't escape now, we need to know more about our surroundings."
"That's right! I can't believe that I forgot about that! We need to search for provisions and supplies. There are so many questions that need to be answered about this place!" Kiyotaka declared, showing his leader-like persona again.
We should go in groups, so no one would be by themselves!" Sayaka quickly added, grabbing a surprised Makoto by the hand.
"Well, I'll be going alone." Byakuya spoke, starting to leave the gym.
"What?! Why? That's a stupid idea, don't you think?" Junko asked, looking confused.
"And give one of you a chance to kill me? I don't think so." He said. "Someone here might already have started thinking about murdering one of us. Are you saying we should stand around with them in our midst and make it that much easier for them?"
'Well.. He's not wrong to believe this… but his attitude needs some major work.' Akari thought, looking at the blonde-haired heir leaving.
As he started to reach the entrance of the gym, Zhen began to speak.
"Okay. Goodbye, dick. If anything happens to you, then it's not our fault" He said, pointing his left pointer finger to the heir.
"Excuse me, what did you say?" Byakuya slowly turned around and looked Zhen in the eyes.
"You heard me, prick. Get yourself killed. No one will miss you" Zhen declared.
Byakuya ignored him as he calmly walked out of the room. The gym fell silent once more. It seemed like no one wanted to say anything. Until Nikhil spoke.
"So, when are we going to search the area in groups? I'm pretty sure that no one here wants go alone like Douchegami." His light words lifted most of the students attitude.
"Yeah. That's right! More people in groups allow us to find more in less time!" Nove exclaimed. "Aoi, Sakura, can I join your group?"
"Sure! The more, the merrier! Let's go search for our rooms! Monokuma did say that we are going to be comfortable so maybe he meant that we each have our very own rooms!" Aoi said with a smile on her face.
Akari looked at the other students who were creating their own search groups.
Sayaka somehow dragged Makoto with her as Kyouko slowly walked behind them. Aoi, Sakura, and Nove were already grouped together and were talking about sports. Leon, Yasuhiro, and Nikhil formed a group, chatting Nikhil's ears off because apparently Leon and Yasuhiro found out that Nikhil created Break, a popular anime dealing with modern topics. Celes persuaded Hifumi and Zhen to go with her as her bodyguards. Mondo and Chihiro looked at each other awkwardly as Kiyotaka declared themselves a team. That was 5 groups, meaning that two other people besides Akari were alone.
'Alone. Then again, who would want me in their group? A pathetic excuse of a high schooler. Even Hifumi has a group he can be in…'
"Hey." A voice broke Akari out of her thoughts. As she turned, she discovered that Junko was the one who called her.
"Need a group? Me and Touko don't have a group, so do you like wanna join us?"
"S-Sure. But it's only because no one else does, okay? I don't want to get my clothes dirtier than they already are. I woke up on the floor today. My hair is dirty, my nail is chipped, and I want a bath, pronto!" Akari whined, showing her snobby persona.
"You can drop the snobby act, you know." Touko quietly said.
"What?" Akari looked shocked, dropping the act. 'How could they tell?'
Touko squeaked and backed away, looking towards the floor.
"You heard her. You can drop the snobby act around us. We know that you're faking it." Junko declared, walking towards the rest of the students.
As the girls walked near the rest of the group, Kiyotaka began to speak.
"Now that we are in groups, we can explore the facility! In 30 minutes, we meet back here to report our findings."
As the students split up into their respective groups, they scattered into different directions. Junko, Touko, and Akari walked slowly the halls behind the others.
As the remaining students split into their groups and scattered, leaving Touko, Junko, and Akari in the hallway. They slowly walked along the halls, looking at the bolted shut windows. Every nook, crevice, and cranny were tightly secured.
"Ugh! It's hopeless! We're trapped in this damn school!" Junko said, punching a wall.
"Y-yes, maybe right now, but maybe later we will find an opening for us to escape." Touko squeaked, trying to reassure the blonde.
"Are you guys trying to leave, already? It's no use anyway. The exits are covered." Monokuma's voice filled the hallway.
They all turned to face the origin of the voice. Down the hall was a Monokuma, surprisingly running a store.
"Well? Like the setup? It's a MonoShop!" It said with glee.
"Monoshop? But we don't have any money to get anything..." Touko questioned, looked rather down. 'It seemed like she's used to not having money…' Akari wondered. 'As a famous writer, wouldn't she be rich or at least be well off right now?'
"Well that's what Monocoins are for! You are rewarded Monocoins for good deeds like chores!" The plush bear dropped 20 Monocoins in front of the confused girls.
"So long girls~! And tell the others to come here to get some Monocoins to begin with!" The bear waved as the group walked away with said coins, weirded out by the situation. They walked the halls noticing more boarded windows and exits. The gray metal clashed with the colors of the halls.
"Well, our search was fruitless…" Akari spoke, getting nods of agreement as a response. It felt like it was hours since they began to wander the halls looking for a means to escape.
"We should go back to the gym and report this to the others. Maybe they found something more interesting then we did." Junko said, staring at her nails.
The three girls silently walked towards, not wanting to speak. The silence was almost deafening. As they reached the gym, they saw everyone else waiting in the gym.
"What did you all find?" Kyoko asked, wanting to know the results of everyone's search.
"There's a cafeteria and a fully stocked kitchen." Nikhil started to say, messing with his ring.
"And there are bedrooms, like what Monokuma said. One for each person. They even have nameplates to show who goes where!" Nove proclaimed.
"W-we stumbled upon a gift shop that Monokuma runs. He says that he has monocoins for all of you." Touko said, shifting her feet while looking towards the ground.
"There's a laundry room and a trash room with an incinerator. So we don't have to worry about wearing dirty clothes or trash piling up everywhere." Yasuhiro loudly declared.
"And the doors that seem to block other rooms may lead to somewhere else, maybe a new floor. They aren't as secure as the metal blocking the windows, but we couldn't lift those doors. They might be remote controlled." Chihiro quietly added to the conversation.
"It's getting rather late… We should go to our rooms and sleep. Today has been very… interesting, to say the least. We should use tomorrow to go more in depth." Kyoko declared.
Everyone shifted and looked rather exhausted, the shock of Monokuma's words gone. The crowd in the gym slowly dispersed, everyone leaving in search for their rooms. Akari just followed the crowd. As she found her room, as it had her name on the nameplate, she used her ID card to enter.
The room was golden. It contained a purple-trimmed queen sized bed pushed in a corner with a nightstand besides it. Across from the bed was a drawer littered with fan mail and trophies that she obtained over the years of her stating her acting career. Near the door was a bookcase full of her favorite books and manga. Posters of some of the movies she starred in hung on the wall. But the one thing that really got her attention was the security camera that faced her.
'Someone must have known me well to decorate this place with my favorite things,' Akari thought. 'But more importantly, someone is watching me now… is it the mastermind of our situation, or just some pervert?'
As Akari laid on the bed, the severity of her situation hit her like someone threw a stack of bricks at her.
"Is this where I die? Or will someone become desperate and actually kill someone? Am I going to kill or get killed?" She murmured to herself, staring at the ceiling. She didn't think on it more before she rushed to the bathroom, finding the toilet and puking.
"What's wrong with me? Am I sick?" Akari asked herself after wiping her mouth and flushing the toilet.
'Maybe it'll go away when I sleep…' Akari dragged herself to her bedroom, too tired to even change. She turned off the lights and pulled herself to her bed, shutting her eyes as her head hit her pillow.
'I hope tomorrow will be better than today…'
