Here it is, the newest chapter of my story. It's been a long time.

I've had trouble here and there and I have my last two exams tomorrow. But after that, I'll be updating more frequently because school will be over after that.

I've also added some character development to Cal for the reason why she hangs around Joshen.

Anyway, along with the chapter!

Chapter 2: Hidden Truths (Daily Life Part II)

I awoke to Monokuma's morning announcement the same as yesterday, I then woke up Maizono by shaking her a little and whispering in her ear. She then stretched and got up from the bed. She told me that she was going to take a shower before heading to the cafeteria.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, my door doesn't fit quite right I the frame. So when you open it, you gotta pull up while you push it." I told her, she nodded in reply understanding the directions to opening the door. After she headed inside my bathroom, I headed out the door with her.

I ran into Joshen and Cal while heading to the cafeteria. "Oh, hi Makoto! Is Sayaka not with you." Cal asked me as we met in Despair Hotel's plaza…

"No, she just said that she was going to take a shower before coming to the cafeteria." I replied, the three of us started to walk to the cafeteria, and started to talk about what we should do after the morning meeting.

Joshen decided he was going to do more research on Kamukura while Cal was going to continue investigating the second floor. I smiled at them as all three of us entered the cafeteria.

"NAEGI! THERE YOU ARE!" Ishimaru yelled out towards us. He was standing next to Oowada, discussing something with him. "Oowada and I have gotten into a disagreement…"

"Hard-ass over here, keeps saying that because my 'uncontrollable' temper is the reason why we can't work together." Oowada said pointing his thumb at Ishimaru. In which the Hall Monitor responded by insulting his indoor voice, while shouting.

Behind me I hear Joshen mumbling the word "Hypocrite…"

"Anyway, we need a judge for our 'Bro-Off'! And since you're the first guy here, you're the perfect candidate!" Oowada and Ishimaru grabbed me by my arms and dragged me off without me responding.

-Joshen

As Mondo and Taka dragged Makoto away to who knows elsewhere, I looked at Cal and said. "You should probably tell Sayaka what's going on… I'll check up on Makoto." Cal then ran towards the dorms as I ran straight for the newly opened sauna... where I last saw Makoto.

Inside, I saw Makoto looking through a small window into a sauna. I peeked inside with him to see Mondo and Taka both inside trying to see which of the two can last the longest without dehydrating. The two were constantly glaring at each other… wondering who would give up first.

"They dragged you across the plaza, just to judge this?" I asked Makoto. He simply nodded and then sighed.

"Knowing them, it's gonna take at least a few hours…" Makoto replied, he then knocked on the door to the steam room trying to get their attention. "Hey, why don't we call this a draw you two?" He asked them.

"TO HELL WITH THAT!" They replied in unison. Makoto simply shrugged and told me to leave them alone, because it will take a very long time. Without hesitation, I left the sauna to go have breakfast.

Inside the cafeteria, I ran into Chihiro who was fiddling around with the computer that was in the library. I peered over her shoulder, to see what she was doing and she looked back at me.

"Oh, hello Joshen." She said frailly. I then sat down next to her to see what she was doing. "I'm trying to get this computer working so we can connect to the outside world." Chihiro continued to mess with the computer to try and turn it on. I then asked her a question.

"Hey Chihiro, can I ask you to do some research on Izuru Kamukura a little later today?" She then nodded her head in response as I went to the kitchen to get food.

-Cal

Just as Joshen asked, I knocked on Makoto's door to get Sayaka's attention. He told me and Joshen that she was taking a shower so I hope she could've heard that.

"Yes? Who is it?" She asked opening up the door to see who it was. When she opened up the door, she had a towel wrapped around her body, and her blue hair was still wet from her shower. "Oh, hey there Cal!" She said with a gleeful expression on her face.

"Hey there Sayaka. Joshen told me to come and get you because Mondo and Taka dragged Makoto into one of their fights just now." I pointed my thumb towards the Despair Hotel's Plaza signifying where we should head to. Sayaka simply put her hands to her mouth in shock.

"Oh no! Is he okay?" She responded in worry.

"I don't know. We'll just have to see." I replied trying to calm her down.

"Um…Okay, but first can you get me some clothes from my room? It's right next door." Sayaka handed me the key in response asking me to get the clothes for her. I nodded in reply as she shut the door.

As I opened up the door to her room, I still couldn't believe that someone died in there. 'I guess that was the reason why Sayaka asked to sleep with Makoto…' I thought. I looked through the drawers and found the one that contained her school uniforms. I remembered that each of the dorms had exact replicas of the clothes we were came in with. I guess he didn't want us to have smelly clothes.

I obtained a pair from the drawer and headed over to Makoto's room. I knocked on the door and gave Sayaka the clothes in my hand. A few minutes later, she came out of the room dressed in her normal school uniform attire. "Okay, let's go. We started to slowly walk to the bathhouse to check on Makoto.

Inside Makoto told us that it will be a while before one of them forfeit the match, so the two of us decided to wait outside. So we decided to have a little talk.

"Hey Sayaka, do you have a crush on Makoto." I had asked her, she just looked towards me and smiled.

"Of course!" she responded her blue hair waving as she moved back and forth. I then asked her out of all the boys in this school, why did she chose him. "Well, I never actually got a chance to talk to him in middle school, so I just want to make up for lost time, ya' know."

"But Cal, the real question is, do you have a crush on Joshen?" She asked me… I started to blush as I waved my hands in a 'no' motion. She simply giggled as I explained.

"N-no! It's just that, he reminds me of my little brother that's all!" She tilted her head curiously as she asked about my brother. I then leaned against the wall in depression. After all, it would've come out sooner or later.

"It was a few years ago… about five or six. I had this little brother who wanted to follow in my footsteps. He was funny…kind…and was extremely optimistic!" I started, my chest began to hurt, the more and more I talked about him…The more pain my chest felt.

"Then the day that I remember so clearly happened… My little brother was just crossing the street from his kindergarten class. When a high speed car was bolting down the street. I noticed it in time and reached my hand out asking him to stop." I then felt my eyes water up. This story was too painful for me…I wanted to stop, I wanted to stop!

But by then it was too late…

"The car hit him at a high speed, killing him. I still remember every vivid detail. The thud sound of the car hitting him, the blood splatter on my face. Everything." I said, my words became unrecognizable because of my crying. Even to this day, I still can't accept the fact that my younger brother was dead.

Sayaka then brought me into a hug, trying to calm me down. I then wiped the tears from my eyes as she released me from her hug. Makoto then walked out of the bathhouse and saw us talking.

"Hey Naegi, aren't you supposed to be judging Oowada and Ishimaru's 'Bro-Off'?" Sayaka asked next to me. He told us that he decided for those two to settle it themselves. I asked the two of them what they were going to do now.

"Well, I'm headed to the pool. Just to relax." Sayaka said as she started walking to the exit of Despair hotel with Makoto following suit. "After seeing those two leave, I went straight to the cafeteria to get some breakfast.

-Naegi

Inside the pool, I simply watched Maizono as she floated around inside the school pool. She was wearing a pink bikini, that made her recall her days as an idol. As she floated from one end to the other, I just couldn't think about anything except about how beautiful she is. Her eyes then shifted towards me, then she got off her back and swam over towards me.

"Don't you wanna swim? You've got your swim suit on right?" She asked me. I looked down at the swim trunks that I was wearing then looked back at her.

"No thanks, I'm fine with just watching you swim." I declined her offer. Maizono then started to beg and splashed around the water some more.

"C'mon, please?" I continued to decline her offer with the same excuse each time. She then resorted to her last option and that was to pull me into the pool. She grabbed my hand and then leaned backwards, causing me to fall into the pool with her.

I then rose up to the surface, just for Maizono to follow splash me with the pool water. Playfully, I splashed back at her in retaliation. We continued to splash each other until it was around 7:00 PM

We were both resting on the bleachers with towels around us. Maizono then looked towards me and said "Naegi, I really had fun today…" I nodded back and I noticed that our heads were getting closer together, the two of us closed our eyes and then we felt our lips touch.

The sensation flowed throughout my body. As our kiss continued, we started to let out slight moans, signifying that we were enjoying it. After a little while, we both broke the kiss and blushed at each other.

"Does this mean it's official?" I asked her, she simply nodded and smiled. Just then something that we never could've guessed happened.

The door to the girl's locker room flew open and into the pool. Maizono and I got off from the bleachers to see what was happening. Monokuma rushed out of there followed by Toko Fukawa, the problem is that something was different about her.

She had blood red eyes, a long tongue that reached down to the top of her chest, and two scissors in her hands. She then started to throw the scissors towards Monokuma intending to hurt him.

"Stand still would ya?" She shouted in a menacing voice. Fukawa then gave chase towards Monokuma, suddenly Joshen and Cal dashed into the pool room, following Fukawa.

"Joshen! Cal! What's going on?" I asked them. They looked towards us after they came in.

"Apparently a spec of pepper flew into Fukawa's nose, causing her to turn into that psychopathic form." Cal responded.

"She then started to chase after Monokuma and cutting down everything with those scissors." Joshen continued, "Chairs, parts of doors, even that gigantic chain gun turret outside the locker rooms. I swear, this amount of damage will leave a hole in Monokuma's wallet." Meanwhile Fukawa continued to chasing Monokuma and throwing scissors at him.

As the two of them made their way towards us, Monokuma slide behind us. Hoping that Fukawa would attack us instead, but suddenly, a voice called out towards us stopping Fukawa in her tracks.

"That's enough!" Togami shouted as if Fukawa were his dog. She then slid a couple of feet until she was in cutting range of us. "Do you want to get impaled?" Togami asked her. Fukawa started to blush and she began to flick her tongue.

"Heh, only if it's by you!" She replied, Togami then cringed at her comment as she put away her scissors. Monokuma then faced towards us and shouted from across the pool.

"Yeah! That's right you better give up!" He then disappeared to who knows where, and we were all left looking at Fukawa. She was just simply twirling her scissors around her fingers and looking seductively at Togami, who wasn't looking at her at all.

"First off, are you still Fukawa." Togami asked her, at first I was a little confused as his statement.

"What are you talking about of course she's still Fukawa." I told him but then Joshen spoke out.

"Actually, I remember her calling herself something else. If I recall it was Genocide Jill?" I took a step back away from Fukawa.

"Y-you mean that serial killer that's been going around the news?" Maizono started to hide behind me. Scared of the news that was just revealed.

"Yep! Yep! Yep! That's me! Genocide Jill! Very pleased to meetcha Bic Mac and Sailor!" She said, at first we didn't know who she was referring to. But after a while we suddenly realized that Bic Mac and Sailor were nicknames referring to me and Maizono.

"Wait, Jill is actually a serial killer?" Cal asked, Togami the nodded and started to describe her kills in gruesome detail. After the description he told us, Joshen and Cal's jaws were dropped halfway to the floor. Most likely in shock of how gruesome the murders were.

"Jesus Christ! And I'm not saying that because you crucify them. I saying that because YOU CRUCIFY THEM!" Joshen said to Jill. Meanwhile Jill was minding her own business and just swinging back and forth.

"Well, what should we do with her?" Cal asked us. A bunch of thoughts went through our heads such as; tying her up, keep her away from everyone else, and turning her back into Fukawa. Then suddenly Togami said something that shocked all of us.

"Let's let her do as she pleases!" We all stared at him bug-eyed. This was one of the most famous serial killers in the world and he's suggesting that we just let her loose in the school where everyone's trying to kill each other?

"Do not worry, I'll keep an eye on her so that she doesn't kill anyone." He responded. We were a little bit relieved at that fact, but we were all still a little worried.

Maizono and I started to get kind of hungry, so we decided to get dressed and go to the cafeteria to get food.

Inside the cafeteria, Maizono and I saw something that shocked us both. Ishimaru and Oowada were still alive after being inside the sauna for at least 12 hours.

And laughing.

"Hahahahahah! Oh hey there Naegi. How's it going!" Oowada asked me, Maizono and I were still shocked at these two were becoming friends.

"So uh, how was the match guys?" I asked them, they just responded by simply laughing and told me to forget about it.

"Naegi, I ask of you to forget about that match my friend! And to make you forget about it. Forget…Forget…FORGET BEAM!" Ishimaru shouted and acted like he was firing a beam at us.

"That was awesome bro!" Oowada responded, then the two continued laughing together.

After Maizono and I ate our dinner, Monokuma reappeared on the monitors again, even though it was around 8:00 PM, my thought was that it was going to be another motive.

"Hello everyone, I hope that you're having a wonderful evening! Anyways time for you all to come to the gym. We're gonna have a pep rally!"

Me, Maizono, Ishimaru, and Oowada started to head down to the gym.

There, Monokuma popped up behind the stage podium to introduce us to his next motive. "Hey there, everybody! I hope that you're enjoying your time on the second floor!" He started off… We all just simply groaned at him so that he could get on with what he brought us here for.

"Jeez, fine! I'll get on with it. Now for the reason I brought you all here." Monokuma pulled out 13 envelops, each one with a person's name on it. "I have to say, these motives will be even juicer than the last one." He then tossed the envelopes into the air, and they all landed in front of us.

Each one of us picked up the envelope with our name on it, and opened it up. Inside each envelope was our darkest secret! The responses were mainly asking where he got this information. "I'm pretty sure that you all have skeletons in your closets, some of them would ruin you if the world finds out! So unless I see a murder in the next 24 hours, those secrets will be revealed to the entire world! See ya!"

Monokuma jumped back behind the podium, leaving us to our own thoughts again. I looked at the piece of paper in my hands, the text on it reads "Makoto Naegi wet the bed until 5th grade." I simply sighed and left to go back to Despair hotel.

Maizono followed me back to my room, along the way she told me about her embarrassing secret. Apparently to get where she was in the idol business, she had to do some "bad things". She wasn't very specific in what she meant, but guessing about how she didn't want to talk about it, I didn't pressure her.

After telling her my secret and her giggling about it. We both heard a sound behind us, as if someone was singing.

"I'm burning through the sky! Yeah!"

We then saw Joshen with a bunch of pieces of paper, some of them flying out of his arms, and a stupid looking grin on his face.

"Two hundred degrees, that's why the call me Mr. Fahrenheit!"

We soon thought that he was going to collide with us, knocking all three of us to the ground. But then.

"Traveling at the speed of Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!"

He rushed right between us still singing a song that the two of us didn't know. And faded into the darkness of the hallway, presuming that he's going back to his room.

"I wanna make a supersonic man out of yooooooooooooou!"

Maizono and I looked at each other wondering what Joshen was doing. But we decided to ignore it and go to bed.

The next day, the Monokuma announcement was a bit different this morning.

"Good morning everyone! It's now 7:00 AM, time to rise and shine! Oh, and another thing… One of your friends got axed overnight. So good luck finding out who it is!"

Maizono and I were shocked at what he said. The two of us rushed out of the bedroom and headed straight to the cafeteria. Inside there, Oogami, Cal, Kirigiri, and Togami were all located by the large table.

"Who are we missing!?" We asked them.

"We don't know, it's too early to say." Oogami responded. We simply looked around, hoping to find someone else. Togami then scoffed and told me and Maizono to follow him.

We were lead to the boy's and girl's locker rooms to the pool. Togami then walked over and reached over to the handle of the girl's locker room.

"W-wait! We can't go into the girl's bathroom!" I told Togami, but for some reason he could still open up the door without scanning an e-handbook.

"What do you know? It's not locked." He then opened up the locker room door fully and went inside, we saw the expression on his face. Once he stepped inside the room. Maizono and I followed suit. And inside we still couldn't believe that there was another murder.
