S H U I C H I
Pulling my hat lower onto my face, I stepped forward onto school grounds. Of course, it was nothing special, a normal highschool with normal students but that was just like everything else in my life.
Boring.
And I'm sick of it.
I long for change, for something exciting to happen, that's why I seek so much comfort and love, in danganronpa.
Danganronpa, has brought me so much to my sad, boring, disgusting life. The people I've acquainted the thrill of watching it, the emotions of hope and despair constantly running around in my mind chasing each other but despair always wins. For a while, I stopped feeling things, when you are a kid life seems so much more fun and care free, everything is so new and exciting but once you start to get older, everything feels the same. However danganronpa is always different.
I adjusted my headphones, looking down at the small, smashed screen of my phone to watch the third trial in the 34th game which in my opinion, was the best third trial in the entire franchise. However a familiar purple head of hair walked past me and bumped into my shoulder which made me lose all my attention towards danganronpa.
Kokichi Ouma.
Oh how he fascinated me. On surface level, just a shy, timid little thing, not knowing its way to class and getting lost any where like a stray puppy. On a deeper level, a damaged, hurt and smart soul with so much pent up anger and emotion he has to constantly suppress. Oh what a joy it will be to see him snap.
I hope that I am some what involved in that.
"Hey Kokichi? Class is this way remember." I called out to him, a smirk creeping onto my face. He looked at me, and then blushed a beautiful shade of pink.
"Oh how stupid of me!! I-its almost like I havnt b-been going to this school f-for 3 years!" He said in stuttered anger, latching onto my arm as we walked to class. Ouma and I had recently started dating and in my opinion it was going very well. He was everything I ever wanted and needed in a partner and I couldn't wait to toy with him some more.
"It's ok love," I say as i bend down to kiss him on the cheek, "I'm always here to help you~"
Kokichi hummed his gratitude sleepily, and tightened his grip around me for support. I laughed airily,
"Have you been staying up late watching Danganronpa again?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"N-no! It wasn't that l-late I just love watching the f-free time events..." Kokichi said sheepishly as we reached class.
"You know they're announcing when we are allowed to apply to get into the 53rd season soon!" I said excitedly, licking my lips as a little drool was about to escape my mouth. Kokichi looked away and shuffled uncomfortably.
"Shuichi?" He muttered, not looking at me.
"Yes my love~?"
"I don't want to join Danganronpa."
...
"What."
...
"It's not that I don't like it! I do I do! Ever since you told me to watch it I-I promise I watch it all the time! It's not my thing but if it made you happy I would of course watch it! B-but I'm scared, and I don't want to die..."
I couldn't believe my ears. My lover. My everything. My other half of myself. Isnt going to join me?
No, no this isn't right. I have to fix this, he must come with me. He will come with me.
"You'll see Kokichi." I said with a smile.
There was silence. My anger was furiously pounding to lash out but I controlled it and remained calm with a usual small and handsome smile. Kokichi looked confused but let out a sigh of relief that I wasn't angry.
"I-I dont know what you mean?" He said carefully, as if I were some sort of bomb he didn't want to set off.
"Go to class Kokichi."
"But-"
"Now."
He disappeared threw the door.
I whistled the theme to Danganronpa 1 as I walked down a dark road. My hands settled comfortably in my pockets and mt head was held higher than usual because I had a plan. It was simple really and I knew exactly what I was doing and the consequences of it. The small blade in my pocket jingled around as I played with it between my king slender fingers, a deadly poison smile spreading across my face. I stopped suddenly. A dark, run down house stood before me. The welcome mat was half burnt, paint peeled off the walls and the gates stood sadly, broken and battered. My smile widened and with a small glint of my bright yellow eyes, I walked towards the house and knocked three times.
The sound of a glass smashing, a man grunting, and footsteps that grew louder could be heard within and finally the rickety door flew open to reveal a small man in the door way. While he was built well and reasonably tall, there was a dirty, rugged look about him. His hair was a greasy lock of short dark purple hair and his face boar lines that had presumably been from the constant scowl he had on his chubby face.
"What do you want." He said in a rugged drunken voice.
"Only a few minutes of your time sir I was sent by your boss on a few buisness inquires, do you mind if I drop in?" I asked in my best and post polite voice.
He looked me up and down with his scowl growing,
"Boss sent a kid?" He asked not convinced.
"I'm 19 years old sir." I said lying threw my teeth.
He grunted and paused before sighing heavily and beckoning me in. I followed suit, following the man into the house. However as soon as the door closed, and his back was turned to look down the long hallway of his home, I whipped out the small knife and cut a smooth, deep like threw the back of his neck.
"Good bye Mr Ouma, may you never harm your son again."
Before the thick, red blood had even started to seep from the fatal wound, I had disappeared threw the back door. On my way back to the school it had just settled in what beautiful crime I had just committed. I cried out in joy and broke into laughter as I began to skip down the road, throwing the dirtied knife into a near by bush. Adrenalin was running and I had never felt better!! Kokichi will be so pleased, hell thank me and do what ever I say if will be perfect! We can join danganronpa together and die together!
As I was celebrating to myself in victory, a familiar depressing voice came from behind me.
"What are you so happy for?"
Kaede Akamatsu, the Ultimate Depressed Bitch.
Just being around her caused my celebrations to come to a firm halt, however I still could not stop smiling. Kaede and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember and no matter how much we hate eachother, we still always come back to one and other.
"Oh you'll never believe what I just pulled off!!" I muttered excitedly barely noticing I was drooling at this point.
"Your drooling and your sweaty it can't be something good." Kaede said with a firm, cold tone with a slight worried glint in her eye.
"I just, I just killed Kokichis abusive dad!!" I called out in glory. There was a pause, and then a gasp and then
"Shuichi what the fuck have you done."
Kaede looked at me with a scared expression, one I had never seen before or even know she was capable of such a thing. This made me even more excited.
"Isnt it amazing! And I can use it to get Kokichi to join me in Danganronpa! And if he says no I'll threaten to kill him too!!!" I laughed, feeling the despair that I longed for wash over my body.
Kaede on the other hand was gone. However thats Ok, I don't need her anyway, she dosnt understand love.
Making my way back to school, I spotted Kokichi tripping, and falling to the floor muttering curses at himself for being so stupid. I walked up to him and helped him up.
"Shuichi? I-I thought you had skipped for the day?" He asked confused.
"I needed to talk to you first."
"Oh...ok?" He seemed uncertain, perfect.
I led him to a darkened area of the school where not slot of people go. He stood against the wall, his fingers tapping it from the stress from being in such a place and of course me wanting to talk to him.
"Kokichi, my dear Kokichi you know how much I love you right~?" He looked at me and then looked away.
"Yes I do."
"And you know I'd do anything to make you happy right~?"
"Where is this going Shuichi?"
"Well my dearest your safe now." I exclaimed happily. He looked at me confused, "what do you mean?"
"Oh Kokichi, Kokichi, you told me what your family does to you, do you remember? I'm the only one who would listen and I'm the only one who cared to and I couldn't just stand by and watch your family do this too you so I, killed your father."
Tears threatened to spill over Kokichis eyes as he began to tremble.
"W-w-what?!"
"Dont worry Kokichi, your safe now! I did something so good for you! No one can hurt you anymore do you know how great that is! And I was the one to do it you can trust me you know~!" I said trying to keep my soft voice but slowly losing control.
Kokichi began to shake more violently, muttering incoherent words.
"You know Kokichi, since I've done this amazing thing for you, don't you think it's only fair you, pay me back?" I asked in a soothing tone that I used to calm Kokichi down from panic attacks. He looked up at me with scared watery eyes and nodded his head slowly.
"Well my dearest why not join Danganronpa with me! It's an escape from everything and it's what I know is best for the both of us and put it this way! You will be questioned and possibly charged for your fathers murder! This is the only option!!" I laughed happily as if something wonderful had just been announced. Kokichi trembled and cried into my chest hugging my tight and sobbing uncontrollably. I looked down at him lovingly, like a predator with its meal right in front of them. As I patted Kokichis head and stroked his hair fondly, he finally looked up at me with a tear stained face,
"F-fine i-ill j-j-join!"
"There's a good boy"
