danganrompa: hope vs despair (book 1)

New Hopes Peak?

Shuichi pov

I opened my eyes to find myself in a unfamiliar classroom with maki and kaito by my side. Wait kaito!?

"you OK sidekick" he asked worryingly.

I could only with a "ahhh kaito! Your alive?"

"yeah I know I freaked out too when I found out too, but only for a second cause heroes don't panic" ahh classic kaito he's even layed back about the idea of coming back from the dead.

"cut the crap kaito!" I turn around to see kokichi? He's been brought back too? I looked all around the room, everyone who I  had witnessed die was standing there alive and well. I looked back at kokichi, he looked freaked out, I guess even he can't stay calm in a situation like this.

"you were supposed to crush me with the press! Did you screw it up?"

"no way man I crushed you real good I promise!" kaito protested

"just great now I'm going to die to makis stupid pois-" he paused patting his arm "hey" he said his face turning pale "where did my injury from makis poison arrow go?"

immediately everyone started cheaking for injuries, but there was nothing. Rantaros head wound, kaedes and mius rope mark, ryomas eaten body, kiruma torn up body,  teikos and angies stab wounds, gontas stomach wound they were all gone! As if they never existed.

I was the first to say "what the hell is going on?"

"oh who cares there alive! There alive!" himiko yelled running up to tenko and angie and wrapping her arms around both of them, her eyes watering. Maki looked over at kaito and smiled, holding his hand tight.

Then she came over "keade" I managed to say. I was so over come with guilt that I didn't know if I was ready to face her

"shuichi, are you alright?" she asked me kindly. I couldn't handle it anymore, I burst into tears

"keade I'm so sorry, this is all my fault! if I had just looked into the case more I could have saved you from getting executed and probably saved everyone else too. I'm a failure! I'm sorry I'm so sorry."

"shuichi your not a failure! You did you very best and I'm so proud of you for that" she said pulling me into her arms for a hug.

"yep your a hero in my books sidekick." kaito said ruffling my hair.

I sat there in the comfort of my friends embrace. It felt warm and peaceful. But that peacefulness didn't last long as the doors to the classroom flung open.

Behind the door was a short boy with spikey brown hair and a hougi. Beside him was a girl with long blue hair. They somehow seem familiar.

"who the hell are you guys" the boy yelled at us.

"we were about to ask you the same question." kaito said scratching his head in confusion.

"stay back makoto I bet these guys are the ones who trapped us here. The blue haired girl said nervously.

"ha dummy do you think that the mastermind would be stupid enough to discuss there plans out in the open like this" kokichi said in his usual mocking tone.

"he's got a point sayaka" the boy known as makoto said gently placing a hand on her shoulder. He turned to us "so who exactly are you guys?"

I got up and walked towards him. "my name is shuichi saihara and me and my friends are ultimates that took part in a killing game. We have no idea how we got here we just kinda woke up here" I desided it's best I don't reveal that some people here died and got revived. The last thing I want to do is freak them out!

"ah so your in the same situation as us" makoto seid smiling kindly at me. "sayaka, I think we can trust them."

"I think so too, sorry for jumping to conclusions everyone!" sayaka said bowing apologiticly.

"well if you're students of hopes peak like us you should probably meet everyone else"

"eh? there's more of you guys?" kaito said looking even more confused. "yep follow me" sayaka chirped leading the way towards what seemed to be the school dinning hall

Once we walked through the dinning Hall I was greeted with the most colourful cast of characters I've ever seen. Immediately a boy in a white uniform pointed and said "makoto! Sayaka! Where were you!? We've been waiting for you too for the last 10 min-" he was cut off by the sight of us. A guy with the longest pompadour I've ever seen walked up to us and said "OK who the fuck are these guys"

Before makoto could answer he showed up. "there new students!"

"ahh it's that goddamm bear again!" the pompadour guy said. I just stood there in shock

"m-monokuma" I managed to say.

"hey shuichi! Long time no see ehh best buddy."

"wait a minute how do you know monokuma?" a blonde boy with glasses asked with a demanding tone.

"well they did say they were from a killing game" mokoto said.

"yeah and this basturd is the one who made us kill all our friends" maki said angrily.

"we thought we finally got rid of you. We thought things would go back to normal" I said still shaking at the sight of him.

"ha wrong! Now your going to participate in a even bigger killing game! Doesn't that sound fun!?"

"no not again!" himiko sobbed.

"don't worry it will be fun once it starts! Now why don't you all introduce yourselfs it's only polite to get to know the person your going to slaughter".

And with a menising laugh he left the area. This is unfair! To give us hope by reuniting us with our dead friends only to tarnish that hope by making us take part in a killing game where we could lose them again.this is definitely something tsumugi would do. It was only now that I realised she wasn't with us. She was probably behind this and now she not even among us, making it all the more difficult to stop her.

"dammit" I yelled. I felt so hopeless. I could see most of the other class giving us looks of pity. I sighed well I guess its time for introductions.

Sorry this one was long I just needed to establish things. Hope you're enjoying so far.
