First of all I'm sorry for the long update. I've been traveling a lot with my family during the Summer, and the fact that I just got a new computer.

Also, I know that there is a SHSL Therapist in DR3, but I created Brycon before Gekkogahara got her talent.

Chapter 2: Hidden Secrets (Deadly Life)

The second murder just occurred. One that we never wanted. The victim this time, was the Super High School Level Programmer, Chihiro Fujisaki… I fell backwards to the ground at the sight of Fujisaki's body. Even Togami was shocked at the body. A few seconds after the three of us found the body, announcement played on the monitors.

"*Ding* *Dong* *Dong* Ding*! A body has been discovered! Now then after a certain amount of time has passed, the class trial will commence!"

A few minutes after the announcement played, the rest of the students came into the girl's locker room and saw the now deceased Chihiro Fujisaki. And they were just as shocked as us.

"There's no time to slack, we must figure out who did this." Togami said looking back at all of us. "Oowada, Oogami, I want you two to guard the crime scene. Cal, I need sketches of the body, and any evidence you find." Togami was acting like a real leader. Taking charge of the situation and giving us tasks, for a second I thought that he wasn't such a jerk after all.

I then started to focus on the investigation for now, because if we failed this, then we all die.

COMMENCE INVESTIGATION

The E-handbook in my pocket started to vibrate violently, I then took it out and saw that the newest Monokuma file was added to it.

Victim: Chihiro Fujisaki

Estimated Time of Death: Between 12:00 AM – 2:00 AM

The victim was found in the girl's locker room on the second floor. The victim was positioned as if they were crucified. Arms spread to either side and hung in the air. The cause of death was a bashed in skull from a blunt object. There have been no other noticeable injuries on the victim's body.

I saw Togami staring intently at the position of the body. "Naegi, do you recognize the position this body is in?" He asked me. I stared at it, noticing the most obvious thing about it, and remembered the way Genocide Jill murdered her victims.

Fujisaki was suspended in midair, in a crucified position; and the words "bloodlust" were written in blood on the wall behind her.

"It's got similarities to the way that Genocide Jill kills her victims." I told Togami. He then nodded his head in agreement.

"Anyone person could make the assumption that she was the one who killed Fujisaki, but if you look a little closer you'll notice some missing details." I took a closer look and noticed that the body was being held up by the use of an extension cord. I then turned to Togami and asked him a question.

"Why would the killer use an extension cord? If they wanted to frame Jill, wouldn't they try to accurately imitate it?" He just told me that they would find it out during the trial, and started to examine a different area of the crime scene.

I looked to the right of the body to find Joshen examining the weights. I walked over to him and asked him what he was doing.

"Since Chihiro was killed by a blunt object, it'd make the most sense for the murder weapon to be a dumbbell. Right?" He said to me, I kind of agreed with that. But the killer could've disposed the murder weapon somewhere else. A few seconds later, he found a dumbbell that was covered with blood. "I told you!" He said taunting me. I then left him to do his own thing.

"By the way, the strangest thing happened last night." Joshen continued, I stopped walking and turned back towards him to figure out what he was saying. "Oh, have I peeked your interest? Very well, I'll tell you." Joshen said in a condescending tone of voice. He then stood up and started to tell me what happened last night."

"In the middle of the night, I heard a crashing sound from upstairs. And it was loud, I mean, REALLY loud. So loud that it woke me up!" He started "And here's the weirdest part. When I woke up, my room was pitch black! I couldn't see a thing. So I got out of my bed and felt my way to the hallway door. But when I looked outside, it was dark also!" After he finished with his story, I then turned around and left to see what else I could find.

After my conversation with Joshen, I saw Maizono staring at a wall. I asked her what she was doing.

"Yesterday when I was here, there was a poster of the popular boyband, Tornado, here. Now look at it." I saw what she was talking about, the poster on the wall was of a lady in a bikini. It seemed weird for something like that to be in the girl's locker room.

I quickly went outside of the crime scene to check the boy's locker room area, and sure enough, the picture that Maizono was talking about was located where the original poster was. Another thing I noticed was that the boy's locker room was a mess. Various pieces of weight lifting equipment fell over and were on the ground. I instantly assumed that the equipment falling over was the sound that Joshen heard last night. So I decided to make note of that.

Back inside the locker room, I saw Oogami checking the rug by Fujisaki's corpse. I then asked her what she was looking for. "I noticed something weird about this rug. Just yesterday, I spilled my protein coffee on this rug after my workout; and for some reason it's gone." I then put my hand to my chin, wondering what could've happened to the stain. I then decided to remember it for later.

I then decided to ask some people around to try and find out the last time anyone saw Fujisaki. While most of the people didn't see her for most of the day, both Joshen and Celeste had seen Fujisaki yesterday.

"The last time I saw Fujisaki? If I recall, the last time I saw her she was in the storage room. My guess was that she was getting one of the new sweat shirts inside there". Celeste said to us, we asked her where Fujisaki was going, but she didn't know either.

"If I recall, the last time I saw Chihiro was right before Monokuma announced the next motive." Joshen started, he put his hand to his chin, trying to remember when he saw Fujisaki. "She wanted to tell me something she found out about Izuru yesterday, but just before she told me. The Monokuma announcement calling us to the gym played and she said that she'd tell me in the morning."

"And that was the last you saw of her?" I asked him, he then nodded in response. Maizono and I said our goodbyes to him and his response was very shocking to me.

"See ya later BED WETTER". We both looked back at him in shock. 'He knows?' We both thought.

"Oh yes, I know. Remember me running down the hallway with the ridiculous amount of paper in my hands yesterday? That was me going to my room to right jokes about your secrets! Now your lives are ruined!" He then started to laugh maniacally and walked away from us.

-Joshen

After maniacally laughing over Makoto and Sayaka's shock. I stood next to Kyoko who was checking the body. Mainly what was suspending her in midair.

"I've seen this extension cord in the library. That must be where they got it." I rolled my eyes at how obvious where they got it was. And went into the pool area to let Kyoko do her thing.

In the middle of the pool where the academy insignia was located, I saw a dark grey object under the water. I called for Oogami to ask if she could get it, she delightfully agreed and jumped in the water causing a big splash.

After a few seconds Oogami came to the surface with the object and put it in my hands. "This is what I found at the bottom." She said, I then thanked her as she went back to what she was doing before.

I then studied it carefully. It was a pair of goggles with green lenses, and they didn't seem to be for swimming use. "Could these be, night vision goggles?" I asked myself. I then walked over to Cal to tell her about what I found and to sketch it. While she was sketching it I decided to see what I could find in the Boy's locker room.

Inside, I saw a total mess! A bunch of exercise machines were knocked over. I could barely walk due to the mess. I started to dig through the mess trying to find clues. Inside there I found a fake nail under a rack on the wall. I also found a rug on the floor with a brown stain like coffee on it.

I then decided to check the First floor to see what I could find that could relate to the case. Down there, as I was about to head to the A/V room, when suddenly, I heard a voice behind me

"What are you doing?" I jumped backwards and looked back towards the sound of the Monotone voice. I saw Kyoko behind me and staring at me, I told her to not scare me again then I asked her a question.

"Why did you follow me? Shouldn't you be investigating the crime scene itself?" She simply walked passed me and said.

"You should know that not all evidence happens around the crime scene." I smacked myself in the head for not realizing it. As we walked towards the main hall, we ran into Junko.

"Oh, hey guys what are you doing?" She asked us. Twirling her hair around her fingers and staring at us.

"We're investigating the murder." Kyoko told her, I just simply stared at the two as they talked.

"Huh, that's a pretty lame cover up Kirigiri." Junko replied to the girl with an unknown talent. Kyoko then raised her eyebrow in confusion.

I then leaned over towards her and then whispered in Kyoko's ear "She thinks we're gonna do the sex, which is why we left the crime scene." Kyoko looked at me and then back at Junko telling her to get the perverted thoughts out of her head and to move on with her life.

After leaving Junko, we decided to check out the main hall first because Kyoko said, she wanted to inspect something. Inside their we saw the giant sealed door dividing us from the outside world. Kyoko opened up a box holding some student handbooks, I wasn't paying attention to her. I was just too busy staring at the door.

"So, this door is what separates us from the rest of the world." I said as I put my hand on the door, Kyoko then looked over at me and asked me a question.

"You want to get out of this school right?" I then took my hand off the door and turned towards her.

"Get out? Hell no, I'm perfectly fine with staying inside here. The only thing that's standing between me and those guys, is this door. I'd be fine turning this place into a retirement home." I told her,

Kyoko told me that she had found what she wanted to investigate so we left the main hall and went into the AV room.

The two of us started to rummage through the room. Trying to see what evidence we could find. "Hey look at what I found!" I told Kyoko, she then walked over to the monitor that I was standing next to.

I showed her a zip lock bag that had a mysterious object inside. "What is this?" I asked her, the stared at it contently and then answered.

"It looks like an ear piece. Look you can see the microphone attached to it." I stared at it closely and saw that it was indeed an ear piece. I took it out of the bag to investigate it.

"Let's see where it connects to?" I put the ear piece in my ear and shouted into the microphone. "HELLO!" A couple of seconds later, Monokuma popped up out of nowhere, pissed off.

"Hey! What was that for!?" Me and Kyoko turned behind us to see Monokuma. I then swiftly looked back and forth between the ear piece and Monokuma, trying to connect the dots.

"So apparently this microphone connects to Monokuma's office." Kyoko said, ignoring Monokuma. A lightbulb then lit up in my head. And I knelt down to ask him a question.

"Hey Monokuma, can I ask you a question about last night?" He then turned away from me and said to me.

"If it's about that black out, then no." Monokuma then covered his mouth with his hands, as fast as he could.

"So that's why I couldn't see anything last night." I said, Kyoko then stared at me and asked me what happened last night. "I woke up to the loud sound of crashing. And it was so dark that I couldn't see anything." She put her hand to her chin, thinking about what she just heard.

"Grrrrr! FINE! Take this, and just leave me alone." Monokuma handed us a piece of paper, and disappeared. On the sheet of paper, it showed a bunch of times ranging from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM.

"Take a look at this spot, right here." I pointed to the section between 12:00 AM and 2:00 AM. "There's nothing located there. You think that's when the blackout occurred?" She then nodded in response, but just after that…

*Ding* *Dong* *Dong* *Ding* "Alright, I'm getting bored of watching you all mess up this case so how about we head onto the trial?"

-Naegi

Most of us were gathered in the pre-trial room, we were all waiting for the elevator to come up and take us to the trial room until Oogami asked. "Where are Joshen and Kirigiri?" All of us started to look around the room for them, until the doors opened up and a voice shouting.

"Hey guys, check out what I found!" Joshen and Kirigiri entered the room, holding a zip lock bag with what looks like evidence. Just as they entered, the elevator rose up to take us to the court room. All of us gathered in the small elevator, and we were all taken to the trial room.

The elevator slowed down and then stopped, the doors opened up revealing the trial room, we all took our places at our stands and then the trial began.
