I'm just a ghost! (Saiouma)

Prolouge: A familiar face

(Authors Note- Shuichi never said the infamous "You're alone Kokichi, and you always will be." to him here, just pointing it out, this is also what happened prior to the main events, sorry if it feels rushed.)

A year since he ended Danganronpa. Shuichi Saihara, Former Ultimate Detective. He hated the title he had been given for the killing game, but he had to accept it. It's the only job he could actually get, but he still didn't like it.

He opened the door to his home, everything seeming the same as usual. He had just returned from another day of work, yet was still stressed due to his most recent case. He lay down on his bed, trying to make sure he could calm down from the stress.

"Heya Shumai!"

Shuichi heard an all-too familiar voice, he assumed he had just been hearing things until he looked up to see Kokichi Ouma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader, floating right in front of him. He jumped back in shock, hitting his head on his bed frame. "A-ah!" He yelled out in pain, clutching onto his head. "Well jeez, sorry for scaring you." Kokichi told him, a childish smile on his face. "Why are you here Kokichi?" Shuichi asked him, only for Kokichi to respond with a simple "Why not?". Kokichi had his own reasonings for being there, and he floated around Shuichi.

"Well, you seemed pretty lonely. Thought you wanted someone to keep you company, but I'll just take my leave if you want me gone." Kokichi said, after a few minutes of total silence.

"D-don't, please." - Shuichi stuttered, clearly wanting someone to stay with him. "I don't care if I was supposed to hate you during the killing game, I've changed my views on you.."

Kokichi looked almost shocked, but quickly covered it up with a smile. "Guess I'm sticking around then!" He said, happy someone wanted him around.

"S-so, you're a ghost, right?" Shuichi stuttered, definitely not because he was afraid of ghosts or anything. Kokichi joked about him being a human that could just float, but quickly assured him that he was in fact a ghost.

The two spent some time in silence, Shuichi suddenly remembering a lot of events from the killing game with Kokichi silently trying to comfort him to no luck. "I'm probably just dreaming anyways.." Shuichi muttered to himself.

Kokichi of course, heard this. "You aren't dreaming Shumai, I'm very much here." He said, an annoyed tone in his voice.

Before Shuichi could respond, he had fallen asleep. Kokichi floated over him, watching his beloved peacefully sleep. He smiled, then phased through the walls to go scare Himiko and Maki because he was bored.
