Chapter 1 Part 6: Alone
Your POV:
'Why do I feel so alone....' I thought, leaned against a bookshelf in the library.
Rantaro had just obviously left, giving me a warning not to help him end this so-called killing game. I wondered why he was so adamant about doing it himself. I wanted to help him. I really really did. But.... he rejected my offer almost instantly. I felt worthless to him. I felt worthless to everyone despite being very observant.
"I don't get anything anymore..." I muttered, "what do I have to do to regain everyone's trust?"
My eyes scanned the floor, and I noticed something pink on the floor. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a nailbrush, bright pink and dazzled with a shimmery glitter.
"What the heck is this doing on the floor...?" I asked myself, picking up the nailbrush, "I might as well keep it. Something good may happen if I do."
(Deeeeeeeefinatly not referencing the Rantaro nail event!)
I placed the nailbrush in my inventory and continued to wallow in self guilt.
This soon changed when I heard footsteps appear in the library.
"So what did you want to show me Shuichi?" Kaede's voice asked, echoing throughout the library.
"Just follow me Kaede, it's right over here," Shuichi's voice replied rather excitingly.
Shuichi and Kaede's footsteps got louder and louder to where I was located. The thought dawned upon me that they were headed to the back bookcase as well.
A few moments later, Shuichi and Kaede were in my line of sight, and I was in theirs.
"(y/n), what are you doing here?" Shuichi asked.
I was slightly surprised even though I knew that they were going to pop up here. I quickly got up, brushing myself off, considering how dusty it was in the library. I gave a light smile.
"I was hanging out with Rantaro in here. He ditched me not too long ago," I replied, "is there something you need?"
"Yes actually. I wanted to hang out with Kaede alone. Would you mind going somewhere else?" Shuichi asked.
"Sure. It's no problem," I replied," I hope you two have fun!"
I laughed slightly, but it was fake. It was suspicious that they wanted to be alone, but it was understandable. I knew that they didn't want me around. If I stuck around, I'd just be a nuisance as always. I waved at them before leaving them to do whatever they wanted to. It didn't really matter anymore.
"What do I have to do to feel happy about myself. It's funny right.... people tell me to be more positive about myself, yet I can't even say one good thing about myself...." I muttered.
I walked through the halls as if I were walking in slow motion, the halls seeming to move by, one frame at a time. My face was looking down at the floor, never looking up once to see if anyone was staring at me or following me.
I about five minutes later, I made my way to the dormitory, wondering if anyone was there. I checked my monopad, seeing that Rantaro was in his room. Nervously walking to his door, I rung the doorbell a few times. No one answered.
'I guess he has no business with me...' I thought.
I sighed lightly before walking to my own dormitory. I walked in and almost instantly went onto the bed. I had no idea what to do anymore. Rantaro wouldn't answer me... the one person who I trust the most in this situation. He was most likely upset with me for wanting to help. No one really wants someone's help like mine. I'd probably screw it up,
Like how I screwed with everyone's emotions...
Like how I screwed over everyone's lives.
"Kekeke, is it finally setting in yet? the voice in my head asked.
"Leave me alone...." I replied to it.
"Why should I do that? Like I told you. I am you. You cannot get rid of me," the voice replied.
"Wh-What do you want from me?" I asked.
"To remind you about how useless you are. I don't get why you don't want to kill anyone. I mean you killed someone before. You should kill someone," the voice replied.
"No! Stop it! Please!" I exclaimed.
"What else can you do. If you can't kill anyone, then why don't you kill yourself? I mean if you are too set on saving everyone like you *want* to believe, then die trying. It will all be in vain though. They want you dead. I want you dead. You are weak. You can't even stand up for yourself. Kekeke," the voice replied.
My eyes widened slightly. I knew that there was a high chance no one would care about me... but if I tried to save everyone, then I could finally prove myself... I got up, almost falling to the ground from moving too fast. I didn't want to tell anyone where I was. They wouldn't care about it. Everyone was doing their own thing. They'd just assume that I'm watching anime.
I thought that would be fine. I was going to do something that could get everyone out. I exited the dorm room, making my way outside. I took the trail to the boiler room of the school, where the manhole was. My plan was to attempt the despair inducing trap so that I could get everyone out.
That's what my mind was set on. I knew that I could die, or get seriously injured, but I didn't care. I just wanted to be useful to everyone. I wanted to make up for what I did.... I wanted to prove that I actually can do something for once.
Once I got into the boiler room, I climbed down the ladder, into the manhole, the cool air tickling my legs. Once I made it down, my eyes looked straight at the exit sign.
"All I have to do is complete this... then I won't be useless to anyone..." I muttered.
I walked into the tunnel, determination coursing though me, causing me to not falter while walking into the obvious death trap. The sickeningly bright colors of the area caused me to shield my eyes slightly. This place was very colorful for a trap, having bombs the look more like golden coins you'd have to jump up and grab in a video game.
Before the exploding coin bombs appeared, I had to make a few jumps about 3-5 feet in diameter. I surprisingly made it through those jumps, but then I saw the coin bombs.
I obviously tried to avoid them, nearly getting blown away a few times. I then pushed the gate open after doing a few more jumps, making my way to the next part of the obstacle course. There were more of those coin bombs, as well as more jumps.
I felt more tired, running though a line of cage traps. If I wouldn't have started sprinting, I would've been caught by them. I panted lightly trying to get a little bit of energy before continuing on. I went through more jumps, and dodged more coin bombs spelling the word "clear*.
There was a shadow part before going to the next area. Once I got in there, a bright light blinded my vision, engulfing my whole body. My vision went black soon after that....
......................
A stinging pain shot though my body as my eyes shot open. I groaned lightly from the pain as I mustered the strength to get up. I felt blisters on my hands starting to fade away slowly.
(This is fucking Danganronpa! They went through all of this shit without a scratch. Deal with how I'm writing this with that in mind)
I looked around at my surroundings. I was back in the room I was in before entering the tunnel. I was getting slightly upset. I want to prove myself to everyone... I want to prove I'm not just some Otaku who does nothing. Made my way back over to the tunnel.
"I have to keep trying... I need to get everyone out..." I muttered to myself, "I can't give up... I'll give my life for everyone to escape..."
With those words said, I made my way back into the tunnel with my head held high. I did the same thing I did the last time, but.... I was slightly slower than I was the first time. I barely got hit by the coin bombs when I tried to dodge. When I made a jump..... I didn't make it. My vision went black once more.
...........................
My eyes slowly opened as more pain was felt from that attempt. I groaned in pain. After that was the same thing. I kept trying, but no luck. I had done about three or four more attempts, each one getting even more slower. My reaction time dulling caused me to get blown away closer and closer to where I first started, each time, I was out cold for longer.
The last attempt, I blacked out once again......
Kokichi's POV:
I walked up to (y/n)'s unconscious figure and sighed in disappointment. I put my hands on my hips as I sighed.
"You really are an idiot... I have to keep ordering those damn Nanokumas so people don't know I'm the mastermind. I don't want our audience to know that yet," I explained, knowing very well she was out cold, "you are so predictable. Trying to risk your life to save anyone else, yet keeping everything about your past away from everyone... except for Rantaro that is."
I continued to watch her. How her (h/c) draped over her face as she slept. A blush formed across my cheeks, and I smirked a little.
"Nee-hee-hee. You're very adorable. You are worth carrying back those six times you failed trying to get to the end of my death trap," I laughed, feeling madness and obsession.
I picked (y/n) up with care. Despite being (taller/shorter) than her, I was very strong. I walked back to the underground room that led to the exit of the manhole. I smiled lightly at her, but soon that smile turned into a smirk.
"I realize I love you (y/n). You should be scared... scared that you brought my attention onto you," I muttered, before placing her down and leaving the manhole.
Rantaro's POV:
I left my room to head for the dining hall. I was feeling hungry after the events of the day. I hoped (y/n) was alright considering that she did ring the doorbell on my door earlier. I knew I was rude to her earlier. I just wanted to keep myself distanced from her. I HAD to keep myself distanced from her. I have something that no one should know about.
I entered the dining hall where mostly everyone was present for getting some dinner. I noticed that everyone was there but except for (y/n)......
"Hey, have any of you seen (y/n)?" I asked, a look of worry being present on my usually calm face.
"I'm sorry Rantaro, but I haven't seen her," Shuichi replied, "I haven't seen her since she left the library."
"Did the fuckin' Otaku die!?" Miu exclaimed, "if so then I was all right! Bow down to this smart genius!"
"Nee-hee-her! We don't know if she's dead Miu," Kokichi laughed, "so don't make assumptions."
"Aside from that, has anyone else seen her?" I asked.
Everyone shook their heads in response. I sighed, looking to the side.
'How could I have let this happen.... since no one saw her..... she could be in her room....' I thought.
I made my way over to the door leading outside of the dining hall.
"I'm going to check the dormitory," I told everyone.
"Nee-hee-hee there's no need for you to do that. I rang her door bell, but she wasn't in there. That isn't a lie," Kokichi replied.
"Alright...." I replied.
I placed my hand on my chin, going into a thinking position. I sighed lightly, trying to figure it out.
'Where could she be if she's not in her room... the last time we talked, it was her trying to help me out... so what if she...... no....' I thought, my eyes widening at the realization on where she could be, 'did she attempt the underground passage alone?'
I walked out of the dining hall in a hurry. Everyone calling my name, but I didn't care. Once I left the dining hall, I sprinted to the entrance hall doors. I quickly went outside, running to the boiler room.
Once I got there, I went down the ladder into the manhole. Almost instantly, I saw (y/n) unconscious on the ground. She looked very drained, and some of her uniform was ripped. My eyes narrowed slightly, being slightly angry that she'd try and do this alone. Part of it was also me being upset with myself, because I wanted to help her. Protect her.
"Why would you try to do this alone... it was my fault wasn't it..." I muttered.
I sighed lightly, picking (y/n) up and swinging her over my shoulder carefully so that I could climb the ladder back up.
Once I placed her over my shoulder, I climbed up the ladder back to the boiler room. Once I was up there, I took her off my shoulder and put her in my arm bridal style.
"I shouldn't have told you off like that. You did this because of me...." I muttered.
I walked back with her in my arms to the dormitory. Once I got in the dormitory, I opened the door to my room and laid her on my bed. I sat in the chair, waiting for her to wake up.
'How could I have done this to her....' I thought.
This is the new chapter. I had this part planned out for a while. This is also a reminder that all of the art due for the new Dr book is due on Sunday. I haven't really gotten any finished work yet, so please get that in. I might have to extend it, but that's fine.
I really hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I used my own art for the chapter. I just duplicated the original and edited the background. I hope you all like it! I still got no prompts, so I'm going to reuse this weeks again.
Prompt 5 (reprise): "Reader-Chan's childhood prediction"
Like I said, I wish you luck. Ciao until next week!- CRUSIFIXdroid.
