It All Started By One Single Tear (Rantaro x reader x YandereMastermind Kokichi)

Chapter 3 Part 2: Mysterious Rooms on the Fourth Floor

Your POV:

    The Monokubs somehow managed to  make Monokuma bald by claiming their independence. This caused Monokuma to go into a state of shock. Monokuma wasn't even speaking as well. I wondered when this was going to change.
    After this whole incident went down, we realized that we still would get something from them. Well, they told us we were still getting a wonderful prize for scrapping by the last class trial. I wondered what the prizes were going to be as of now. I honestly guessed that they would unlock new areas of the school like last time. It was time to see if I was right.
    The Monokubs revealed the prizes soon after. I saw a key that looked like it could be from a Minecraft game, some sort of scroll with ancient markings on it, and a golden hammer.
    "We're giving away a Golden Hammer, a Magic Key, and a Ninja Scroll as a prize bundle!" Monophanie exclaimed happily.
    "Wow...what a buncha random junk. I-I mean, bravo, bravo!" Monotaro exclaimed in response.
    "WE-LOOK-FORWARD-TO-WORKING-WITH-YOU. I-HOPE-WE-CAN-ALL...GET-ALONG," Monodam told us in his robotic voice.
    Everyone looked slightly upset with what was given to us. I could see why. It wasn't a way to get us out of here. It was just more puzzles we had to solve to get more area access.
    "I had a feeling it was more junk..." Keebo muttered disappointingly.
    "Aw maaan... We didn't need more junk. We had way too much anyway. And its name is Keebo," Kokichi replied, obviously being rude.
"Now you've gone too far! Everyone, we can't allow this kind of intolerant language!" Keebo exclaimed in protest.
The robotic green bear then interfered. He told us that there was no fighting allowed. The bear was telling us we *had* to get along.
The thing was... they couldn't force us to get along. Most of what happened was caused by Kokichi picking on other people. That's what caused most of the distasteful behavior in this group of people.
In any case, my hypothesis was correct. We were told to discover the new areas in the school together as friends. They even hid another flashback light in the new areas. This gave me some hope because I wanted to find out more about what we didn't remember. Maybe it would tell us more about the Ultimate Hunt.
They wanted us to be able to use these new memories to get closer. This made me wonder what we were going to remember... was it going to be some sort of school activity. It would work more in their favor if we remembered something we did as a group.
Soon enough, they used their annoying outro, and they left, leaving us all to wonder what the items we received could possibly unlock. I had an idea about the key and the scroll, but the hammer was a different story. I had no idea what used a hammer.
"Geez, those cubs suck. Monokuma was waaay better," Kokichi complained, biting his nail, "damn it... I've got too much pride as a human to let those robots push my around! The world would be a better place if robots didn't exist! They should all be destroyed!"
"I've recorded your intolerant remarks, and will report them to the proper authorities," Keebo replied angrily.
"Can we all just stop fighting for once?" I asked, "the situation did get a little bit better for us. We don't have to deal with trying to kill each other. The Monokubs list want us to get along."
"I agree," Rantaro replied, "I think we should calm down a little. Monokuma is definitely out of the game for at least a little bit. We should be relieved about that and use this time to try and get out of here."
"I never thought you'd think the same thing!" Kaede exclaimed.
With the look on her face, you'd defiantly know that she was getting pumped up about this.
"We need to try and get out of here while we have this chance to do so!" Kaede exclaimed.
"Shall I start to prepare necessary materials for our investigation?" Kirumi asked.
"Whoa whoa," Rantaro laughed, "we haven't thought that far yet. What we need to do now is unlock the new areas open to us. Once we do that, we will have base idea on what we can use to plan our escape."
I couldn't believe how how many people were backing me up. It honestly did make me happy that everyone was being hopeful again. Hopefully it would last.
    It was discussed that we could now access more areas because of what we received. Angie was happy because she thought it would be fun to see the new areas.
    That was something I drew the line on slightly, the reason being the Flashback Light. Everyone would be more interested in finding their memories instead of discovering new areas of our prison.
    Now, the fact of the matter was who was going to take care of the items. Kaito entrusted Shuichi, Kaede, and I to look for the new areas. I'm sure Rantaro would follow along too since he was very close to me.
    Once we left the room, Kaito told us he was shocked about how Maki was an assassin. Once I thought about it more, it wasn't so shocking. Maki was quiet, and she had a deadly aura around her when she was angry. That's why I never saw her as a child caregiver.
    I needed to get my mind off of that and focus on the task at hand. Since we were already on the second floor, I would look there first. I saw something that could match with one of these items. If I looked there first, I could worry about the other items after we were done checking out the first area. It was a perfect way to save some time while doing this.
I walked straight down the hall and then turned right to get to the area of the first item. It was some kind of door that looked like it came from a video game. It was pixelated like a certain key I had. This had to be one of the areas we could unlock.
Tsumugi was by the door as well. She could've been thinking of the same thing. I noticed Kiyo standing in front of the door as well. I had no time to talk to him about whatever crazy thing he had to say. We had to discover these areas fast.
"What do you think of this door?" I asked.
"Well, it looks like a door that doesn't belong here," Rantaro replied, "I mean it looks like it comes from a video game with bad graphics."
"That's exactly what I was thinking," I explained in response, "I'm going to try to unlock the door now."
I slowly placed the key inside of the pixelated door lock it had. The lock started to glow and shine as if we uncovered a secret buried treasure. The door soon broke apart in pixels, falling to the ground and magically disappearing.
I looked inside of the small room the door that collapsed left behind. It was another staircase from the look of it. It had the same design as the other staircases. This path to the next floor was a bit more dark though.
"This staircase area looks more creepy than usual..." I muttered nervously.
"The good thing is that we can get to the fourth floor now," Kaede told me, "c'mon (y/n)! Be optimistic!"
    I sighed lightly as a smile formed on my face. Kaede was still the same Kaede, no matter what happened.
    "You always know what to say Kaede," I told her with a smile, "let's go!"
    Kiyo who was next to us told us that he wondered what was on the next floor. I honestly had no idea, but that's why we were going to go onto the third floor.
    With that, our group walked up the newly discovered staircase that lead to another floor. As I walked up the staircase, I wondered what the new floor would look like. I was guessing that it had the same look as the first, second, and third floor with vegetation all around, green and bright. Oh how wrong I was...
    Once we arrived at the fourth floor, a scream of surprise left my lips. This wasn't what I was expecting from this floor.
    The fourth floor was dark and old looking. What looked like to be old planks was the floor's foundation. What looked like wooden beams seemed to create the hallway, having an old cloth as a liner for the top of the hall, leaving the rest as an area to pass through.
    This looked like a place a murder would happen. It gave off a creepy aura. We had to look around more. I'm sure that there was more than just this.
Shuichi was shocked about the room, and he was asking what was with this place. This caused the Monokubs to pop up.
The Monokubs explained to us that this area was supposed to be related to to a made up story about anmurder case. It was no wonder I was getting those vibes from this floor.
Tsumugi was reacting badly to what we were told about this situation, but it was only a made up story. Did that mean that the story wasn't real?
The Monokubs disappeared after telling us this, leaving us to discover this area.
    The discussion floating around was questioning if this place was a school. How much money was even funded to make this place. Those were questions we all were asking. Instead of listening to the conversation most of the time, I was just looking around. It really felt like someone was killed in here.
    Soon enough, we started to slowly walk through the halls of this creepy floor level.
    "(y/n), are you alright?" Rantaro asked, "you have been very quiet ever since we got to this floor."
    "Oh..." I muttered, "I'm fine... I'm just creeped out is all..."
    "This room does have that aura, huh?" Rantaro laughed in response.
    "I guess it does..." I replied with a small smile.
    As I was walking through the halls, I noticed three rooms to my left. They all had the same door design. I wondered what was in those rooms.
    I walked over to the left room with a nervous face. I started to sweat as my hand reached for the door knob. I had to step up no matter how scared I was.
    I slowly opened the door. The room had what it looked like to be a Monokub ghost. At least, that's what I saw for a split second.
    As the room changed from dark to a dusty brown with dim lighting, I was shaking lightly. I wasn't expecting to see something like that in the room.
    "This room looks like something from an occult manga..." I muttered with a trembling voice.
    "Hey (y/n), you look shaken up," Kaede said with a concerned look, "it's like you've seen a ghost or something..."
    I instantly froze when I heard that. I did see some sort of ghost. I felt like I shouldn't have been scared of this, but I was somehow.
    "Perhaps I can talk with (y/n) out for a bit," Rantaro offered.
    "Perfect idea!" Tsumugi exclaimed happily.
    I found myself being pushed out of the room with Rantaro. Tsumugi really wanted us to get together, didn't she.
    "Tsumugi is acting strange..." Rantaro laughed, "now tell me why you're so scared..."
    I looked to the side nervously. I honestly didn't know why. Did this remind me of my past... dark halls barely lit because no one would want to be around me... I had no idea.
    "I honestly have no idea..." I replied, "I'm trying to get stronger... I really am.."
    "I know you are... that's why you've lasted this long. You have what it takes to be strong. Don't let a room keep you from that..." Rantaro explained.
    "I won't... I promise..." I replied.

Another chapter... this one kind of sucked because I've been tired all week. What do you all think?
