Danganronpa VI - Fools Hope

CHAP1 Wake up Sakura.

...

My body felt warm. 

This isn't my bed.

Where is my bed?

Where is my room?

Where is my mom?

I opened my eyes slowly, my body surprised from the sudden heat I felt upon my back. I felt sore, and tired. Who was I...? And where was I?!?

" WHAT IS THIS PLACE?!?"

I sat up frantically, looking at my surroundings only to see pitch dark. I looked down and saw that I was wearing a strange uniform, quite different from my actual one. Did some pervert dress me? I  hope not; I don't want some old guy getting all horny at the sight of my tits. 

Ok.. ok.. chill out... just think. 

My name is Sakura Aoki. I'm 17 and I'm the Ultimate Cartographer. I've recently been accepted into a program called "Hopes Peak Summer School". It's for students who didn't make it into Hopes Peak at first. Like a second chance for kids who weren't... good enough.

" I need to focus. Right now I'm supposed to be at home, right? Why are the lights off... and why am I so itchy!?!...Ok maybe that last question doesn't need to be answered. " I stood up, feeling around my surroundings, as I walked forward I suddenly hit a wall, causing me to stumble back onto the ground.

"Crap... that's a wall Sakura, Way to go." I mumbled as I crawled back over to it.

I touched the wall again, this time not falling over, but just walking alongside it. The farther I went the better I could visualize my surroundings. I was in a tiny room, probably some garage of some sorts. Maybe my brothers locked me in while I was sleeping as some sort of prank... a stupid prank if it is one.

After a while I felt a bump underneath my hand " AH- " I quickly pulled my hand back." I think I found the light switch?... I hope it's not some bug.. " I said, reaching out my hand once again attempting to switch it on. As my hand pushed the tiny lever down, the room flooded with light. Before me I saw a bunch of cabinets, either covered with food or some garden utensils, they were all filled, and some on the floor. There were a couple rolled up carpets on the other side of the room, propped up against the wall. And to the side of me, there was a door.

Does it lead outside...? I had to take a chance. After all, now I can see. So stop being so scared. Ok Sakura? You'll be completely fine... I slowly started to walk towards the door, and tried to open it. But to my surprise, it was locked,

" Come on.. why isn't it opening?!?"

I gripped the handle and pulled, frantically trying to pry the door open somehow... but to my dismay it stayed shut.

I fell back, giving up as I laid on the warm concrete below. 

" So. This is my life now. Laying on concrete. What a sad, pathetic life. I guess a person like me deserves this... I'm a filthy backup student. Who would want me. "

- rustle - (this sounds so awkward... what)

I sat up quickly. 

I swear I just heard something! Maybe it's the wind..?

" Is someone there? " I called out but no one answered, thankfully.

" Awh come on.. do I have to go towards the scary noise?!?" I said, not waiting for an answer as I walked towards one of the cabinets. As I neared it the noises quieted down, leaving the room silent once again.

I looked behind it to see another girl, about my height playing with a plastic bag. 

" WHAT THE HELL- WHO ARE YOU?!?" I screamed as I stumbled back onto the floor. 

By the time I get out of here I might as well have 1000 bruises...

The girl looked up at me, blinked once, and then sat up. " My name is Kuzuru Kagawa. " The girl was now crawling towards me, dragging the plastic bag along with her- not breaking eye contact.

" I- " Before I could talk, she covered my mouth.

" I don't need to know your name. I'll just call you Ugly. Since that's what you are. " she grinned, showing off her sharp teeth. Who the hell was this kid? Kuzuru stood up and dusted off her skirt as she offered a hand.

I took it and hoisted myself up, allowing me to get a better look of her.

She had long limeish hair, pulled into 2 tiny ponytails, about my height, and was wearing a brown sweater and a white undershirt. She has pink eyes and had an orange tie to match with her socks. She was surprisingly attractive. Not that it mattered. 

" You disturbed me while I was investigating. But I suppose that's ok. " She sighed and picked up her bag once again.

" Investigating? Are you talking about finding a way out of here? " I said, pointing at the door

"Also... you weren't investigating... you were playing with a bag like an animal" I muttered to my self. 

" I guess... " She lazily started walking towards the door

" Oh- by the way... do you happen to know where we are? " I yelled at her as she walked further And further away

" Hm.. I'm guessing Hopes Peak. " The girl supposedly named Kuzuru mumbled as she reached towards the door. She pushed it down a couple times before she realized it was locked.

"Hopes peak?!? Are you an Ultimate too?!" I said as I ran up beside her, barely containing my excitement. Could she be an ultimate like me...? Maybe this is actually where I'm supposed to be..!

" Mhm. I'm the ultimate ornithologist. It's totally lame but I guess it's ok. " Her eyes lit up a little as she looked at me.

" Woah!! That sounds so cool compared to mine! The 'Ultimate Cartographer' isn't really that awesome sounding... " I mumbled the last bit, but Kuzuru still heard. She giggled a bit before she took my hand and walked back to the cabinets. When we reached them she grabbed a bag of paperclips and ripped it open, only pulling out one. Jeez, This girl is going to give me a headache...

" What are you doing? " I stared at her while she bent the paperclip, shaping it into something. She looked at me for a second before dragging us back to the door. As we arrived she let go and looked through the lock, barely bending down at all due to her height.

" You made me laugh. So now I'm getting us out. You're lucky I'm going to skip all that 'servant for life' stuff I usually do with people who make me laugh. Consider yourself blessed. I'm amazing after all. " she grinned, not looking up as she fiddled with the lock.

Jeez. We've only been together for a little while and she's already acting like she's superior to me. To be honest I think I might want to avoid her...

2 very quiet minutes passed as Kuzuru just stood there. I eventually gave up and sat down again, staring at the wall to pass time.

* creak * ( here we go again )

" Hey ugly, I opened it. " Kuzuru walked up to me and greeting me with a swift kick to the leg.

" Ow. You do realize that it hurt, right? " I groaned, before hoisting myself up and walking towards the door again

" Mhm! That's why I did it, Ugly. Maybe I should start calling you Dumbass now. " She said as she skipped beside me. When I got to the door, I pushed down on the handle to find that it was open. Wow. To be honest I thought she wouldn't be able to do it.

I pushed the door open and..

- END OF CHAP1 -

( the writing sucks and the grammar probably does too, so sorry about that. I'll try and make a chapter where I show you drawings of all the characters, maybe that will help you visualize them if you rlly want me to. 🧍 but anyways... I hope you enjoyed. If you didn't, then ok. )
