The students jumped for joy. They won. At least that's what they thought. Kaede and Shuichi looked at each other and awkwardly smiled. "Hey guys-" Before Shuichi could finish, Kaito pulled him into an embrace. "We did it! We did it Shuichi! We can get out!" He just stood there frozen, unable to to think. Kaito pulled away and saw his tense expression so he asked, "You good?" Shuichi just stared at him and nodded. "Oh! You just don't like hugs! Got it dude, won't do that again!" Kaito laughed. They both smiled awkwardly and turned away from each other.

A bit later, Kaede and Shuichi were vibing in the library. The purple ho go brrrr. Kokichi layed against the wall outside the library. Through the crack in the door, he peeked to see Kaede on a ladder, seemingly organizing books. Shuichi probably was giving instructions to her, about where to put the books or something. What a waste of time.

Kaede stacked the books in such a manor where it was of a staircase. "You really don't have to!" He heard the detective say.  That being a mundane thing to say, completely not suspicious, hearing the next few words got the boy shaking in his boots. 

"You can just set up the cameras and leave. You don't have to do all this work, it's ok Kaede."

What cameras? Was his old friend and his girlfriend the mastermind? Is this some elaborate plan to kill everyone? Wait.. It's just cameras. Anyone can set up cameras, even random bitches.

Kokichi started to tremble as his stomach dropped. 'It's not a big deal,' he thought. 'This is future blackmail, don't get so riled up.' He peeked through the door once again and felt somebody grab his shoulder. He instantly tensed up and held back a scream. All that came out of his mouth was a barely audible high pitched squeal.

He whipped his head around and standing there was Kaito. Just Kaito. Oh no, it's Kaito! "What you so jumpy for?" He literally shouted. Great. Now they will come out and kill them. Kaito saw inside the library, and there was Kaede and Shuichi looking at him in disbelief. "Kaito! Are you spying again? Tsk tsk." Kokichi shook his head. 

"What? Weren't you-" "Kaito... seriously?" Shuichi frowned. "Yeah, what's up with that?" The blonde asked. Kaito looked at them with a mixed expression. "Guys- Kokichi he-" "Just a little, hee hee!" Kokichi interjected. "Nehehe! I bet it's that he's just soo infatuated with y'all!"

Kaito's face grew hot. He tilted his head and asked, "Um, what? Uh- Don't listen to him Shuichi! Haha! And it wasn't me spying on you this time, I swear!" This sounded like an obvious lie. Except that entire sentence was 100% true. Maybe the first part is pushing it except he wasn't infatuated with him, just interested.

Shuichi sighed. "It's fine Kaito. I don't care. Kaede, are you done with you know, that?"  Kaede nodded. "Great. Let's go."

They walked away in a hastened pace. 

"..."

"Wow, I bet you were an emo kid that used '...' too much," Kokichi said.

"..."

"Yeeeessssss?"
"You absolute- Auugh! I can't believe you! You always blame me for your e- stupid little actions!" Kokichi tilted his head. "Always? Gimme another example."
"Well-"

"That's what I thought! Buh bye!" Kokichi skipped away before he could say anything. That very event made Kaito want to listen to Sugarcrah by ElyOtto slowed and reverb on a 1 hour loop. Due to the lack of technology available to him, this was unfortunately impossible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaede and Shuichi went to a nearby classroom upstairs to discuss their next move. 
"Why do you think Kaito keeps spying on us?" Shuichi asked, gripping the brim of his hat. "I really don't know, but maybe he likes you like Kokichi said haha!" 
"No, I think Kokichi's just lying, there is a possibility that Kaito could be or working with the mastermind. He could be trying to collect information on our plan." 

"That's absolutely true!" Kaede smiled. "But by Kaito's actions I wouldn't be surprised if Kokichi actually meant what he said."
"I dunno... I don't think it matters. He gives me straight energy if I'm honest. And I don't like him that way so let's just change the subject." Shuichi hid his face in his hat.

"Sure. Sooo um we have the cameras set but Kaito and possibly Kokichi knows about it."
"True but I don't think they know about the censors. I highly doubt Kaito could be quiet for so long to hear that much. He's a bit... loud I guess." Shuichi replied.

"Aha true! Either way, he's undeniably the biggest idiot I've ever met, and that's saying something. Someone like him could never use such trivial information against us. And besides, it'll be useless once we finish the class trial!" Kaede said.

"Wait, isn't there the first blood perk though? And how is catching the mastermind having to do with a murder? You think they would commit a murder in the library?" Shuichi asked. "Always a possibility. Sorry I didn't mean it like that, I just meant that the mastermind should go in there pretty soon," Kaede said truthfully. 

"Ah, I guess that makes sense. And about the security sensor receiver, could you hold on to it for me? I think you'd be more suited for that than me."
"No... you hold on to it Shuichi," Kaede replied. "And by the way, why do you always say things implying others are better than you? It's none of my business but I think you should be more confident."

"Sure.." Shuichi looked away slightly trembling. "I'm sorry."
Kaede looked at him with a puzzled look. "What's there to be apologizing for? You did nothing wrong." "Well, I just wish I could be more useful you know? My talent isn't even that good, I'm not even a real detective."

Kaede saw him trembling and held his hand. "What do you mean? Of course you're a real detective! I mean, why else would they choose you to be an ultimate student?" "Well... um. I only happened to solve a murder case. My uncle was a detective so I decided to help him out. It wasn't anything special, just cheating couples and background checks. I never rea-"

"SHEEESHHHHHHH SUSSY BAKA EPIC SWAGG HAHAA" Just then a 5'1 demon child burst through the door. "It's me! Kaito!" Kokichi shouted in a terrible mix of British and country accents. "And I oop! I'm so quirky! Shuichi I swearrrrrr I'm like totes in love~ nehehe! Did I do a good job? Sorry for the intrusion! Aha-"

"No that was fricking terrible." Kokichi turned around to see Kaito again. "What highschooler says frick? What a baby." The response was nothing he'd ever heard before. "Ur mom!"
At that, Kokichi went wide eyed, mouth hanging open. Losing his balance, he started to descend. Everything felt like it was going in slow motion. "NoOOoOooo!" He heard himself say. The world was crumbling beneath his feet, like hell would break loose.

To everyone else, he just fell to the ground dramatically. It was seriously pathetic.  He quickly popped back up. "Dude how old are you?" "You're the one screaming sussy baka or whatever! Not only that you look like a middle schooler!" Kaito shouted. 
"Guys guys break it up! This argument is pointless. I don't know what Kokichi was doing but it's getting annoying. Can y'all please leave?" Kaede said.

"Aha fine," Kokichi said as he booped Kaito on the nose. Just then the receiver started going wild. A Monokuma announcement blared in the background. Just then Shuichi bolted down the hall, Kaito and Kokichi following. Kaede got something out of her bag and went down with them.

Others were downstairs already. "In the library!" Shuichi yelled. They followed and the sight they saw could crush a man's soul. The boy they never really knew, but was really hot, lay there on the floor, shot-put ball beside him, dead.

"Rantaro!" Tsumugi screamed. Kokichi was one of the first to see Rantaro's dead body. His stomach dropped as a lump formed in his throat. His hands shook so he buried them in his pockets. "Aha, what do we have here?" He said, forcing a smile. "Guess we're having guacamole tonight!"

"It's not funny!" Kaede screamed. Then, Monokuma appeared on the screen. "A body has been discovered! Everyone, please gather in the Library!" "Who could do such a thing..." Shuichi muttered.
