First blood

Meeting time with Byakuya rolls around quicker than I would have liked, yet it would be problematic if I didn't go. With a heavy sigh I stand up beginning to make my way to the door, but stop as my hand touches the handle. I shake my head however, and carefully slip out of the room and go to Byakuya's. He opens the door and once seeing me, lets me into his room, also making sure that no one is out. Taking a seat on his bed, my eyes lock on the camera, hearing Monokuma's cynical laugher ring in my head, causing me to turn back to Byakuya who stands, seemingly looming over me with his arms crossed.

"Well anything to report?"

I close my eyes, Monokuma's words getting in my head, but trying to ignore it as I feel Byakuya's gaze still on me. "No, not much. Just the fact that Makoto and Sayaka seem to be always together."

"That much is obvious." He sighs. "And it would immediately make one of them suspicious if the other killed them. So perhaps it's too early to decide anything about anyone"

"Not necessarily" I place my hand under my chin, my gaze locked on the floor as I continue. "I do have some people in mind that would probably do it, starting with Sayaka. Makoto wouldn't abandon his own morals, but Sayaka is desperate."

"Interesting." He says nothing else, instead takes a seat next to me. "I've been wondering....what was in your video"

'why did you have to bring that up....'

"A living reminder of why I no longer feel remorse for people. That's all"

I had told Byakuya the story before about her, in fact, one of the few times I've ever cried in front of him was that event, and my parent's death. That was also one of the only times he's ever showed his care for me. The person he is now is so different than when we were kids...I can't say that I blame him though.

"I see..." He trails, I assume knowing what I'm talking about.

"Who was it...for you"

"....the butler" he barely whispers, turning his head to the other side of the room.

'the closest person to him....'

I place my hand in his, and I notice he flinches for a minute before he interlocks it with mine, while we sit in silence for a bit. There's a slight warmth emitting from his hand, making me smile and lean on him. Feeling him relax, I close my eyes, a small smile forming on my face.

'Yeah....Monokuma doesn't know what he's talking about'

~The next morning~

A yawn escapes my lips as I arrive to the dining hall, almost everyone already present.

"Y/n! Good morning" Hina smiles coming up to me

"Morning Hina. We're missing some people right?"

"yeah, Makoto, Sayaka, and Byakuya" I sigh, stifling out a small laugh. It's just like him to not show up. Just then Makoto comes in, smiling and coming up to us.

"Now it's just Sayaka and Byakuya" I say

'I wonder if something happened'

Byakuya then walks in, a scowl evident on his face as he scans the room, probably noticing that Sayaka is the only one missing.

"Hey man have you seen Sayaka?" Mondo asks, finally bringing up the topic

"Why would I have. I came straight here from my room"

Makoto's face goes pale as he announces he has to go check on her, and races out of the room. Byakuya and I exchange glances, both knowing that there's probably a good 90% chance that Sayaka is dead. I chase after Makoto and once entering his room, I notice it's messy state.

'Messy is an understatement, it looks like a tornado happened in here'

His scream fills my ears, knocking me out of my trance and when I go up to him, I see Sayaka's dead body leaning on the bathroom wall. My eyes widen slightly, expecting her to be dead of course, but still a bit shaken to see a dead body sitting in front of me. A loud thud echoes through the room, and when I look, Makoto's body is laying limp next to me.

"Makoto!" I grab his wrist to try to find his heartbeat, which isn't difficult. I let out a breath as Hina comes into the room, shocked to see Makoto on the floor, and makes a sick face once she sees Sayaka. Suddenly, a bell-like chime goes off. Monokuma comes on the screen, making my eyes narrow and grit my teeth.

"A body has been discovered! After a certain amount of time, which you may use however you like, the class trial will begin!"

The class trial...a class trial to determine who the murderer of Sayaka is. I didn't think it would ever come to this. Everyone else comes trickling in shortly after, their faces shifting from worry to horror once they see Sayaka's body in the bathroom.

"Hiro carry Makoto back to the gym, I'm guessing Monokuma wants to see us after that announcement" He shakily nods, carefully putting his body on his back and following the group heading to the gym. Before I leave the room I notice that Kyoko stands still outside the bathroom, taking in all of her surroundings.

"Something wrong Kyoko" I put on the cheeriest voice I can, making my internally gag

"No, nothing especially. Let's go"

~Gym~

"Is Sayaka really dead?" Hina asks, taking a large gulp

"Unfortunately yes. She wasn't moving, not to mention the amount of blood there was in the bathroom. We also don't know how long she was in there, so there's no way she could have survived." I explain, moving my arms to hug my stomach

"and...makoto did it?" Celeste chimes in

"we don't know that for sure!" Hina tries to defend the poor boy

"The body was in his room was it not?" Byakuya sighs, turning away

"maybe the murderer moved the body!" Taka also takes Hina's side

"Judging from the state of his room....its highly unlikely. There's no way the murderer would have been able to move the body, and make it look like that in the time that Makoto wasn't in his room" Celeste reasons, making me sigh

"So you really think he did it....."Hina's voice gets softer, the realization that one of her friends had been murdered, and one of them was the murderer finally sinking in

"W-What happened?" Makoto sits up, rubbing the back of his head

"One of us was killed. It was Sayaka"

'So the first blood was spilled, who will be next'

Better yet

Will we make it past the first trial?

That depends on us

A game where the lives of the group is in the hands of everyone in it.

A game where you can trust no one, but you also have to trust each other

This is a mad game for sure
