11| Cage Of Death
It happened again, the classroom trial that everyone wanted to avoid—it happened once again.
They need to guess the killer or they'll be killed, the guessing game where they stake their lives in line.
! !Classroom Trials In Action! !
"The one who killed Fujisaki Chihiro is Xenocider Show!" Togami started.
"--You mean the sadistic murderer?"
"--We don't have proof,"
"--Wait, is this Xenocider Show is one of us?!"
"Yeah, and that is Fukawa Toko!" He continued as everyone gasped.
"--She is Xenocider Show, but in the same time, she isn't."
"--Ugh, you said you'd keep it as a secret!" Fukawa cried while rubbing her tied hair.
"What, you mean Fukawa has a multiple personality disorder?!" Misaki asked.
"--What?"
"--Seriously?"
"That's right Misaki, now let's hear it from the real her...shall we?" Togami eyed Fukawa, then the girl fell on the ground quietly.
*Thud*
She crashed on the ground, while everyone was still in shock, a smirk formed Togami's lips as Fukawa stood up, it was still her—but in the same time, she isn't.
"Did ya wanted to see?" Fukawa said as her tongue was out and her way of speaking was clearly off and disordered.
"--What?!"
"--She's creepy!"
"Yeah, I'm the Super Duper High School Murderer—Genocider Sho, but my name: Fukawa Toko is really lame."
"--What's wrong Fukawa-kun?"
"--What the hell?"
"I think that's enough to convince you, and it's a clear motive."
"--What do you mean?"
"Fukawa Toko wanted to keep her secret from anyone that she is a serial killer... makes sense, doesn't it?" Togami said as Misaki furrowed her eyebrows, something was off.
"I see... but unfortunately I didn't do it~ ahahahaha!" Fukawa laughed sarcastically.
"--We don't believe you,"
"--Yeah, there is no way we can trust a serial killer!"
They all accused Fukawa Toko for murdering Fujisaki Chihiro, as Misaki felt like something was really off.
"Wait a minute, Fukawa isn't the one who did the murder!" Misaki said as e everyone turned to her.
"And why don't you think?" Togami irked while crinkled his nose.
"Well... every victims of Genocider Sho are crucified by a pair of scissors, but in Fujisaki's case, he—er, I mean she was crucified by the rope!" Misaki clarified them as she feel Togami's glaring death shots pointed at her.
"That's correct, Nao-chan! And what do you think that all my suspects have in common?" Fukawa asked her as Misaki flinched at the nickname.
"Basically, they are all male."
"Correct~ You're so smart that you might be able to corner me once I committed a crime, ahahaha!"
"--So, if it isn't Fukawa-chan who did the murder... who is it?"
"--It's probably Misaki who did it,"
"--Yeah, your right!"
"W-Wait, I didn't killed Fujisaki! I'm telling you the truth!"
"--Really? How come your always helping her?"
"--Give us proof!"
"No, Misaki-san isn't the culprit... the one who did it might just be, Togami-kun?" Naegi defended the violet haired girl as she turned to the guy standing right next to her.
"--What?!"
"--First it was Genocider Sho, then Misaki, and now Togami?!"
"You were explaining the case murders earlier didn't you? So... I couldn't think that Misaki-san would do it," Naegi said as Misaki was secretly glad someone stood for her.
"How about some proof?" Togami asked calmly.
"--I have some, the thing that was Fujisaki-san tied to isn't a rope—it was a extension cord, your familiar of it aren't you?"
"So, your saying that I killed Fujisaki in the girl's changing room and tied her with the rope?" Togami asked as Naegi was confused at how composed this guy can be despite his been being cornered.
"Maybe the murderer moved things between rooms, there was a gravure idol poster in the girl's changing room and there was a boy's idol poster in the boy's changing room..."
"--What? Isn't that the opposite?"
"Yeah, so basically, Fujisaki-san was killed not in the girl's changing room but in the boy's changing room."
"--What?" Naegi was suspicious of Togami was surprised to hear that.
"--But how did Fujisakicchi enter the boy's changing room?"
"That's simple, Fujisaki-san is a trap... isn't he, Misaki-san?" Kirigiri turned to Misaki who's eyes were widened.
"How... did you know?" Misaki gasped as she was able to found out what Fujisaki is keeping.
"I thought that Fujisaki-san would tell you about that since both of you were close... so is it true?" Kirigiri cleared.
"I... I can't tell you," Misaki replied.
"--Why not?!"
"--So Misakichii is really the one who did the murder, isn't she?!"
"Why wouldn't you tell them the truth, Misaki-san? They'll continue to accuse you—oh wait, was it because of that promise?"
Monokuma butted in as Misaki just glared at the bear who was comfortably seating on his throne made just for him.
"I made a promise with him, that I wouldn't tell his secret to anyone!" Shoot, she already did.
"--'He' ? You say?!"
"--So, his really a guy!"
"No, he's a girl—!" Misaki was cut of by Monokuma's annoying voice.
"Fujisaki Chihiro was a Trap!"
"--What? He was crossdressing?"
"--I should've have killed him,"
"--That doesn't clear Togamicchi of any suspicion, though."
"I don't think he did at all," Naegi said while thinking deeply.
"--Why not?" Togami irked.
"Well, you looked shocked when you found out Fujisaki-san was a guy... the culprit would've already known."
"Yeah, your right... just like what Naegi said, I didn't do it." Togami said as gasped escaped everyone's mouth.
"--Then, who's the real culprit?!"
"--No one knows that Fujisaki was a guy except Misaki!"
They all turned to Misaki who was shocked, they suspected her again...
"Fujisaki told me his secret, but I didn't killed him..."
"--You're still going on with that?!"
"--Don't try and make up excuses!"
"--Why didn't you told us earlier that Fujisaki-san was a male?"
Misaki lowered her head down as she bit her lower lip, Naegi just stared at her and was refusing to suspect her.
'Calm down... she said that it wasn't her—don't lose hope on her.' He thought, praying that she wasn't the Black or in other words: the murderer.
"Fujisaki told me not to tell it to anyone—yet here I am telling you now."
"--Why were you keeping us that important information?!"
"--Are you bluffing?"
"I made a promise with him, that's it."
Naegi then realised how serious is Misaki to upheld any vows.
"--Promise, how foolish!"
"--Your going to kill us with your promise with him!"
All she could do was lowering her head and refused to answer any of their questions... she just didn't want the secret of Fujisaki to leak out.
"Stop that! Misaki-san is like that... she tries her best to keep the promise she made—she just didn't want to break the promise she made with Fujisaki-san!" Naegi argued as Misaki held her chin up to see him angry.
"--What proof do you have that she's telling the truth Naegi?"
"--Tell us, we might verify it."
"The murder took place at the boy's changing room and I don't think Misaki-san went out of her room, and went straight to the changing rooms."
"Wait, how come you know that?!"
"I don't know... lucky guess?" Naegi answered to Misaki question.
"--Then, if it isn't Misaki... who is it?"
"--Let's think about it for awhile,"
It seems like the suspicion of Misaki as the murderer was gone, she sighed and turned to thank Naegi, then she saw him looking at her while smiling. She just returned the smile back.
"Hey Celes, you said that you met Fujisaki last night, yes?" Misaki asked the black haired beauty.
"I did, she was has a jersey shoved inside the bag as she was leaving hastily." Celes answered.
"--If my memory serves me right, the jerseys came with different kinds of colors."
"--I don't have any,"
"--I have a white one!"
"--So Fujisaki-chan was meeting up with someone to choose their jerseys?"
"--I got it, he and the culprit both picked out the same kind of jersey!"
"Bascially, the culprit has a blue jersey just like him." Ohwada said as Naegi, Misaki, and Kirigiri's eyes widened.
"Well... mine is—"
"What did you just said, Ohwada?" Misaki hurriedly cut him off as he flinched at her tone.
"I said the culprit has a blue jersey like him," Ohwada said as everyone gasped, surprised.
"Ohwada-kun, how did you know Fujisaki-san's jersey was blue?" Naegi started to questioned him.
"--What?"
"Celes didn't mentioned the color of the jersey, y'know!" Misaki finished.
"--What are you saying?"
"You've dug your own grave, Ohwada-kun." Kirigiri added.
"--Wait, my brother wouldn't do something like that!" Ishimaru said.
Ohwada gritted his teeth as he lowered his head, the shadows covering his eyes, while he silently cursed himself.
"--What's wrong, bro?! Tell them they're wrong, they've gotta be!" Ishimaru ran up to Ohwada's placed as he gripped his shoulders and shook it desperately.
"They're wrong, there has to be some error in their reasoning—you're all just setting him up!" He yelled at them as Ohwada didn't said anything, he only stared at his brother weakly.
"Then, let's look on the murder case again—that will prove that our reasoning was wrong or right." Naegi said as he told them everything what happened in the crime while everyone listened to his every word.
"Yeah, your right—I killed him."
"Brother, what are you saying?"
"Monokuma, begin the voting." With that said, they began to vote.
Voting: Ohwada Mondo is the black
of course Ohwada was guilty, Ishimaru voted for himself but he was saved by the majority vote.
"I'll provide an explanation in his stead—Fujisaki Chihiro-kun was sensitive about his weakness, then he became a girl, that was the secret that he want to keep from everyone else. If they found out, he'll have a hard time yet again. Ever since the threat of exposing the secrets, he began to work out and he chose the person to help him was his killer."
"Yeah, Fujisaki told me his secret."
"Ohwada-kun has the image of strength that Fujisaki-kun wanted,"
During Monokuma's explanation, Misaki gritted her teeth that he had exposed Fujisaki's secret... same with Ohawada who was was angry.
"I'll tell you about Ohwada-kun's secret—He killed his Onni-san!"
"--What?"
"--Who would want to kill someone's brother or relative?!"
Flashback
The reason Ohwada Mondo joined the biker gang was his brother, he was the first and his the second.
He decided to his an showdown with his older brother,
During the race, he drove recklessly to win and as a result—his brother took the hit that was meant for him.
He ended up killing his brother.
"Don't let the team we created fall apart—this is a promise between us men."
Fujisaki Chihiro had the strength to face his weakness, he envied him, and he regretted it for that.
"Yeah, that's right—I'm stronger than my older brother!"
He lifted the bangle and hit Fujisaki on the head as he died in one hit.
"I ended up killing him—I went and did something horrible!"
Ishimaru started crying as everyone was in despair for this case, it was too heart wrenching and scary.
"Sorry to interrupt but it's punishment time~!"
"Misaki... there is something I need to tell you before I die," Ohwada started as he walked up to Misaki.
"What is it?" She asked.
"...I'm sorry for staining your book, sorry if you think I was a huge jerk to everyone—I just don't know how to control my feelings."
"No, it's fine! Thanks to you—"
"I'm really sorry... Misaki,"
"Like I said: It's fine, don't worry." Tears started to flow out of her eyes as she knew what will happen next.
"Begin the punishment, Monokuma."
"Yes sir!"
"W-Wait, I still have something to—"
"I hate waiting,
"Damn it, please wait—"
"Not gonna happen,"
"NO, wait—!"
Ohwada Mondo has been found guilty. Commencing Execution.
The execution of Ohwada started as everyone tried to get hold of Misaki and Ishimaru's violent act against Monokuma who was eating pancakes.
Anguish and madness were written at everyone's faces who were still alive, they couldn't do anything but watch Ohwada being tortured mercilessly.
"May your soul rest in peace,"
Monokuma grab a bite of the pancake while beside him was Ohwada that turned into a butter.
"OHWADA—!" Misaki cried as Ishimaru was also crying with her, both of them were in despair.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright—I'm here." Naegi hushed her as he hugged the girl who was siting on the ground, depressed. While he was rubbing circles at her back as his other hand was brushing her hair.
'Everyone's lives in this place were fragile, so fragile... that I could feel myself going crazy as we were listening to their anguish yells for hope, I was painfully reminded of how terrible this place can be.' Naegi thought as he stared with anguish written in his eyes at Misaki who was crying in his arms.
"No more—this is too cruel!" He hugged her tighter to comfort her sadness and pain.
"I promise it will be fine, just don't lose hope." Even though he said that, he was really frightened and scared.
'I'll surely escape this place, with Misaki-san and everyone...'
