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

Chapter 1 Part 10: The Last Day

Your POV:

    I opened my eyes upon hearing the morning announcement. I yawned slightly, groaning and getting out of bed. I did my usual routine in the morning. I hopped in the shower, washing myself off, and when I was done, I dried myself off and put a new uniform.
    I sauntered over to my door, noting that no one knocked on the door this morning. I exited my dorm room, heading to the exit of the dormitory building. I opened the door and stepped outside, the seemingly free air hitting my face. I peeked up slightly at the sound of a very overly cheerful voice.
    "Hiiiii (y/n)!" Angie called out to me, running up to where I was.
    "Hey Angie," I replied nervously.
    "Hey, hey! Have you decided how you wanna spend your last moments?" she cheerfully asked in response, "maybe...you wanna pray to Atua with me?"
    "E-eh?! You shouldn't be giving up so easily!" I exclaimed in shock.
    "Nyahahaha! Kaede told me the same thing! You two are so alike!" Angie responded, "you get along so well with everyone here. I was hoping it'd rub off on the others in the dining hall."
    "Wait a minute... what are you talking about?" I asked.
"Atua has spoken... In such dire times, why won't they stop fighting?" Angie asked with a close-eyed smile.
"F-Fighting!?" I exclaimed.
"Ummmm, they're fighting in the dining hall. Atua is really bummed out about it," Angie replied with a curious look on her face.
My face was starting to lose color a bit. You could see a lot of nervousness in my face. I sighed lightly, trying to ease the pressure I was feeling.
"Angie.. can you please come with me? You did say it's in the dining hall right?" I asked.
"Okie-dokie, we'll stop it together," Angie replied.

(Reader doesn't know what the fight is about. She's gonna make her way over there! Basically before Kaede makes it there. And she tagteams with Angie)

I wondered who was fighting and why. I looked to the side, thinking for a moment about what it could be.
"Perhaps it has to do with the time limit..." I muttered to myself.
"Atua thinks you said something (y/n)!" Angie exclaimed.
"N-No! It's nothing. Let's just go," u replied.
I sprinted over to the entrance doors of the school. I opened them and ran inside. Angie managed to keep up with me, her high spirit and energy being assets to her. I had no idea what the fight was about, but I didn't care. I ran over to the dining hall and opened the door.
I ran into the dining hall, stopping right after I got there. I placed my hands on my knees, hunched over and breathing heavily from sprinting. I took a moment to get my breathing in check. Once I was hardly panting anymore, I looked up. Rantaro, Ryoma, Kiyo, and Kirumi were there staring at me. Angie was also in the room, but she was the one who entered with me.
"What's going on here?" I asked, my eyebrows narrowing slightly.
"Oh, (y/n). Perfect timing," Rantaro replied nervously, "I...really don't know what to do, (y/n). Ryoma started talking crazy..."
    "All I was doing was making a suggestion," Ryoma replied, "so that more people can survive.... Even if it's just one more."
    I looked over to Kirumi after hearing this. She seemed to take note of this.
"I think it would be best if you heard Ryoma's idea for yourself," Kirumi told me.
I sighed lightly. I looked over to Ryoma and approached him. I looked down at him before speaking.
"What did you mean about that statement, "so that more people can survive"?" I asked.
"Don't you get it? If time runs out like this, we'll all get annihilated, y'know," Ryoma explained, "the only way to avoid that is to play along with this killing game."
    "H-Huh? Please wait a moment Ryoma!" I exclaimed in response.
    "Kill me," Ryoma stated.
    "Ryoma! What are you saying?" I exclaimed, feeling uneasy.
    "You don't get that either? I'm saying that I'll give you guys my life," Ryoma replied calmly, "I...don't have a reason to live anymore. So if the rest of you want to live, I'll hand my life over to you."
    "I would never do that! We promised we'd all get out of here together!" I exclaimed in response.
    "Hmph, I hoped it'd end that way. That's why I waited so long to bring this up," Ryoma explained, "but we've just been waiting for the deadline without doing anything to change it. There's no more time left for idealism, don't you think?"
    "N-No...it's not idealism..." I replied.
    "This is the best choice for this situation," Ryoma stated, "whoever murders me will get to leave without a trial. Everyone else survives the time limit... After that, the person who gets go escape can go for help and rescue everyone else."
    I was honestly upset hearing this. I felt like I had no time to think about it. I always felt I was a nuisance to everyone and that I wanted to die, but Ryoma wants to sacrifice himself for everyone. As plausible as it could be, I didn't want him to.
    "How about it? If you've got a better idea, I'd like to hear it," Ryoma stated.
    "U-Um..." I muttered nervously.
    I wish I could do something to help Ryoma believe in himself. I had no plan... I was truly useless. I felt a few tears start appearing in my eye from how upset I was and how under pressure I was.
    "Ryoma. There's no need for that," Rantaro states, having a creepy smile and darker tone to his face.
    "Hm?" Ryoma asked.
    "There's no need for that, because I'm going to end this game," Rantaro explained, "I've already decided."
    "How will you end this killing game? It's not a feat that can be done alone!" I replied, obviously worried for Rantaro.
    I've noticed it for a while. Rantaro was most likely hiding something. The business with the Ultimate Hunt. He knows what it is while everyone doesn't.
    'I think I'm going to confront him later,' I thought.
    I looked at Rantaro, waiting for an answer to my question after snapping back from my thoughts. I needed to know what he was planning.
    "It's not about outfoxing everyone in this killing game, it's about ending the game itself," Rantaro explained, "that's the real goal."
    "You're avoiding my question!" I exclaimed.
    "Can you...even accomplish such a feat?" Kiyo asked.
    "Kiyo, That's basically what I asked. Don't copy my questions," I told the Anthropologist.
    "I wouldn't be saying this if I didn't think I could," Rantaro replied.
    "And how will you end it? You understand that the time limit expires tonight, yes?" Kirumi asked.
   "Why are you guys repeating the same things I asked before. It's like you all aren't going to listen no matter how I try," I explained, getting slightly frustrated.
    "Haha, sorry, can't tell you. Actually, if I could, I wouldn't be having so much trouble," Rantaro replied to Kirumi, but not... me.
    "What do you mean?" Ryoma asked.
    "Just what I said. I'm going to end this game," Rantaro replied, his face then going darker, "so don't any of you do anything unnecessary, Alright? I'm looking at you (y/n), and you Ryoma."
    My eyes widened slightly, anxiety filling me after he said that. It kinda terrified me because he knew what I did to try and say anyone. I was still upset. He decides to acknowledge me now.
    "Hmph, when you put it like that, it seems like I still have ways to go," Ryoma replied, "alright. I got it. I take back my suggestion. Do whatever you want. Whether you guys live or die is up to you."
    I watched Ryoma leave. I sighed lightly, and looked to the side.
    "Geez, that Ryoma... I hope I helped calm him down a little," Rantaro told me.
    "Listen... I know you are serious about ending this killing game. You are so set on doing it alone. You avoided my questions when I asked them, but when Kirumi and Kiyo asked the same things I did... you answered them... not me. Rantaro... I feel like you are hiding something. I don't know what... if you actually trusted me, then you would've let me help you. You're not the only one who wants to end this game. I'm leaving...." I explained before storming out of the door.
    "(y/n) wai—"  Rantaro said, being cut off be the door slamming shut.
    I felt like crying my eyes out after saying that. I had to get it off my chest though. All I wanted to do was help. He wouldn't let me though. Being trapped in my thoughts I bumped into something hard, but soft at the same time.
    "Whoa, (y/n). You seemed dazed," I hear Kaito's voice say, being closer to my ear than I thought.
    My eyes widened when I realized I bumped into him. A red blush of embarrassment appeared on my face as I backed away, Bowing repeatedly.
    "I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed, "I didn't see where I was going!"
    "Hey, it's alright. I wanted to ask you something anyway," Kaito replied with a smile.
    "Sure, what is it?" I asked.
    "So I wanted to gather a group of people who can aid us in fighting Monokuma. You are very observant and inspiring that I want you to be there. I hope you come. We will have a strategy meeting down in the basement," Kaito replied.
    "Sure... I want to at least help someone stop the killing game," I replied.
    "Then it's settled. I'll see you later!" Kaito announced before running off.
A light smile appeared on my face. It was nice that he at least thought me as useful. Maki would most likely think I was being annoying. I started walking over to my dorm. I felt like getting some sleep would do well before the strategy meeting. It would most likely be near the nighttime announcement. I had enough time to get rest.
I walked back into the dorm promptly, falling onto the bed. Soon enough, I fell asleep, letting most of my last day alive, going to waste.
