Kokichi's POV:

Mikan looked up at me, a confused expression appearing on her face. "A g-game?" she asked, her posture and body language further expressing her confusion. Straightening my back a bit, I got into the words that I was speaking with serious enthusiasm. "Yeah. A game of life and death!"

Man. The look on Mikan's face was seriously hilarious. "W-Wait, life and death?! I t-thought that you'd forgiven me for earlier!" she said, desperation clear in her voice. I got the feeling she was going to say or do something drastic, so I cut her off by furthering my explanation. "Yup. Winner gets all the glory, but the loser gets sent to the shadow realm. Are you ready? 'Cuz it's time to d-d-d-d-due-"

My epic speech was cut off by the sound of the intercom. I looked at the system with an annoyed expression, not appreciating being interrupted. However, I guess the words that followed were important enough to warrant it. "*yawn* Dear all new students: Your new classes shall be beginning soon. Please report to your assigned classrooms to get acquainted with said classes."

The man who spoke on the intercom sounded seriously beat. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he was found sleeping in the announcement room. Well, whatever. I turned to mikan, my annoyance still showing somewhat. "Hmpf, well I guess we'll have to do this later" I said, getting off my bed. Placing my arms behind my head, I began leaving the room "See ya later roomie!" and with that, I left the room and headed towards my classroom

Mikan's POV:

I felt like I just narrowly escaped dying- why did he always have to be so scary? I took a few minutes to collect my thoughts, before grabbing my bag and heading off towards a classroom... any, classroom. This place felt almost like a maze, and I had difficulty figuring out where I was even supposed to go.

Eventually, I found myself so lost that I decided to ask someone for directions. That is, after much much much, deliberation. Desperately looking around, I tried to find the least scary person to ask. My eyes landed on... nobody. Everybody was either cheerfully talking with others, or too scary to approach. I swallowed, my anxiety rising.

"Sorry, I know that trash like me shouldn't be bothering an ultimate, but would you happen to know where my classroom is?"

I jumped, not expecting somebody to come up to me- much less behind me without my knowing. Quickly spinning around, I found myself facing a tall boy with fluffy, unkempt white hair. Stumbling over my words, I did my best to answer his question. "U-Um... no. I d-d-don't" I said, tugging at my bandages. The boy got a troubled look on his face, touching his hand to his chin in thought. "Huh, so you're lost too? Well then, I can't let an ultimate struggle with such an inconvenience!" he said, getting a friendly smile on his face.

What was he- I watched anxiously as the boy walked over to one of the chatting groups, speaking to them with ease. A pit in my stomach grew as he pointed to me, their eyes following his finger. I froze, my heart pounding as my hands clenched onto the strap of my bag. After what felt like an eternity, they finally took their eyes off me and turned back to the boy. 

For a moment I thought all was well, and that I wouldn't have to worry about annoying them with my incompetence: however it appeared that wasn't the case. Before I knew it, they were all walking towards me: The white haired boy from before, a girl with short red hair and a camera, and a small girl with blond pigtails in a kimono.

"Hi, Komaeda over here told us that you two are lost. Nice to meet you! My name is Mahiru Koizumi, the ultimate photographer." said the girl with red hair. At the very least she had a rather friendly smile. That's more than I could say for the one in the kimono. "Hmpf, I can't believe that you don't even know how to get to class" she said, puffing her cheeks and turning, as she crossed her arms.

I must have had a sour look on my face, because Mahiru turned to the girl and scolded her- "Come on Hiyoko! We're all new here, so it's not like anybody would realistically know their way around!" Oh... so the girl in the kimono is Hiyoko. With this new information in mind, I glanced the girl up and down: they really did look like a kid... but they seemed so sour. Maybe it was just first day jitters? 

I was too enveloped in these thoughts, however, and appeared to have ignored Mahiru's words for a few moments- "Hello?" they said rather loudly, making me jump. "A-Ah! Sorry, I d-d-didn't mean to ignore you!" I stuttered, clutching onto my bags' strap tighter. Hiyoko gave me a highly aggravated look: However, rather than seeming annoyed, Mahiru smiled softly, waving a hand "Don't worry about it, I think we're all nervous heh. I was just asking what your name was!"

"Um, M-Mikan Tsumiki, ultimate nurse. F-From the bottom of my heart, I h-hope that we can be friends!" I said, scrunching my eyes as I bowed. When I stood up straight once again, there was a light hope in my heart. Mahiru seemed really kind- "Pffft, what makes you think we're going to be friends with a nasty skank like you?" laughed Hiyoko, shattering that dream.

Mahiru, on the other hand, had an exasperated look on her face- "Hiyoko! That was really rude! We don't even know her yet!" she said. However, I was barely able to process those words as all sorts of negative thoughts swam through my head. Flashes of previous encounters, of nights spent crying; of cruel laughter and faces with cruel smiles.

It was at this point that Komaeda interjected, holding his hands up as if to de-escalate the situation. "Sorry to interrupt, but this is getting off topic. Mikan and I just need some directions to the classroom." he said, looking nervous despite the smile on his face. Hiyoko begrudgingly backed off, a sour expression still on her face: Meanwhile Mahiru sighed, turning back to me "Sorry about that. Which class are you in?" she asks. "Um, c-class 1-A" I said apprehensively. Hiyoko's eyes bugged out, as she was about to speak: However Mahiru cut her off, her expression looking much more pleasant and even... excited?

"We're in the same class! You are too, right Komaeda?" she asked, turning to the boy. "Ah, yes I suppose so." he said, a slightly bashful smile on his face. Mahiru turned back towards me "Well then why don't we go together?" she asks, sending a preemptive look to Hiyoko to prevent her from protesting. Meanwhile, my eyebrows furrowed as I frantically looked between everyone.

Besides Hiyoko, everyone had an expectant look on their faces, only adding to my already high levels of anxiety. Despite the overwhelming sense that this was some kind of set up, I swallowed my fear and nodded "U-Um, okay"

And with that, we were off.

Kokichi's POV:

After walking away from my dorm, I decided to head to my classroom. If I did that, then I'd be able to get a head start at figuring out my classmates. I normally wouldn't be too interested in others, since almost everyone I met was predictable as hell: however, these were ultimates. People with personalities larger than life. It'd be a welcomed change from the boring normalcy of average people.

I laughed at the thought of how insane they would be. I've heard rumours about ultimates in the past- some of them actually end up causing explosions and other crazy stuff! Man, how awesome would it be if something like that happened? With those ideas in my head, I entered the classroom... which was nearly empty except for one or two people.

Whatever, I can work with this.

The people in question were a thin, pale looking boy in a pinstripe suit wearing a cap, and a- "Woah! Are you a robot?!" I asked, my eyes becoming brighter. Ignoring any kind of conversation they might have been having before I came in, I rushed to the two. They turned around, both looking rather startled- woops.

However, the one I was actually interested in wound up smiling- "Why yes I am- My name is K1-B0, but please, call me Kiibo!" he said, looking all too proud of himself. "I am the ultimate robot. What is yours?" he asked, still naively smiling.

"I'm Kokichi Oma, the ultimate supreme leader." I said, only getting more hyped by him stating his talent. He had no idea what he just got himself into. "Hey, is that stuff casing or like, does each box have its own important part, or something? If I take it off will I see wires?" I asked, keeping my questions going.

Man if only I could describe the look on his face- "I'm sorry?! Please, reconsider your preconceptions of robots!" he said, grabbing his collar(?). "Hmm? Waddya mean?" I ask, placing my arms behind my head. At this point I could feel the other boy in the room fading into the background, apparently not wanting to join in. Whatever, i'm more interested in Kiibo.. no, Kiiboi.

"I mean, that what you said is robophobic!" he said. Oh. So he's like that, is he? Well congrats Kiiboi, you just made my questioning turn into pestering. "Ohhhh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend! ...hey do robots have dicks?" I said, saying the first thing that came to mind. I had to resist the urge to laugh- both due to the question itself, and due to Kiiboi's reaction.

"Sorry but, isn't that going... a bit far?" said the other boy, finally piping up. Honestly I'd almost forgotten he was in the room. I turned around, my previous excitement draining from my face- "huh. Yeah, so what?" I asked, now fully facing him. 

"It's just that..." the boy took a deep breath, seemingly steeling his nerves. "You're being really rude. Please stop." Oh, a tough guy, huh? "Hmmm, nah nishishi. This is waaaay too much fun." An aggravated groan from behind me- "I have a recording function! If you make any more robophobic remarks, I will see you in court!"

Damn. Guess I better stop... for now. "Hmpf, you're no fun." I said, pouting as I crossed my arms. It was at this point that a bell sounded, and a teacher came in. Aug, guess I gotta go to my seat... or something. "Welp, looks like class is startin- see ya Kiiboi and emo kid!"

Giggling at my new nicknames, I sat down and class started.

Me making too many jokes in a fanfiction that's supposed to be serious? More likely than you think. Sorry if it's taking too long to get to the horror elements, but I really want the characters to get to know each other a bit and grow first. Still, I hope that you enjoyed! Can't wait to see you in the next chapter!
