Proving My Innocence

Rantaros pov

We all took our places at the stands. Kokichis dead and I'm being pinned for his murder! It's up to me to prove. We're all screwed if I don't!

"just fess up already murderer!" chihiro yelled before I even had a chance to speak.

"oh that was quick" Monokuma giggled.

"you shut up too!" chihiro glared at him with tears in his eyes "it's your fault too. It's your fault Kokichis dead and I won't forgive you!"

"chihiro please listen to me" I said gently "I didn't kill him and I can prove it"

"hear him out chihiro" keade encouraged him "that's what kokichi always did remember"

Chihiro sighed "fine. Talk!"

"thanks you" I said gratefully.

"he doesn't want your gratitude basturd he wants you to prove that you didn't kill his lover" mondo growled.

"right right" I nodded nervously "well if you look at kokichi you can see that he blead to death from a stab wound to the side"

"what the hell does that prove" kyoko glared at me.

"please let me finish" I said pleadingly "kokichi came to my and takas dorm in the middle of the night with a stab wound in his side"

"a likely story" chihiro folded his arms.

"actually that story fits in neatly with the blood trail evidence I found" shuichi spoke up "there was a large puddle of blood around rantaros door so I think it's safe to say he stood there for a while"

"ok then how about this. He invited kokichi over stabbed him at the door and watched him bleed to death" chihiro suggested.

"that's impossible!" shuichi exclaimed "the blood trail went further down the hallway and up the stairs. Which suggests that he was stabbed near the game room"

"the game room huh? Interesting" kyoko muttered.

"now that I think about it" shuichi muttered "there was no motive this time round. Meaning that Kokichis murder was.."

"out of spite!" kyoko gasped "how could I have been so blind!"

"so whoever killed kokichi had a grudge against him" mokoto muttered "kokichi helped catch alot of blackens so it could be anyone"

"what about you Byakuya?" mondo glared at him "you didn't like the kid cause he made you look like a fucking joke!"

"actually I liked the boy alot more then the rest of you simpletons" Byakuya smirked

"w-why you-" toko glared at him.

"I didn't kill him" Byakuya said simply "what reason would I have to kill someone so entertaining?"

"this is impossible" taka sighed "we'll never find Kokichis killer this way!"

"dose that mean we can't get kokichi justice" chihiro teared up.

"I wouldn't say that" I spoke up "there's an easier way to find Kokichis killer"

"really?" chihiros head shot up "how?"

"we found Kokichis pocket knife on the floor" I showed everyone the pocket knife.

Chihiro gasped "that's definitely Kokichis pocket knife!"

"this knife proves that kokichi fought against the killer" I continued "the killer would most likely have a cut around their torso. With kokichi being in the pain he was in there no way he could have hit anywhere else. So I need everyone to lift up their shirts"

Everyone nodded and lifted up their shirts. Everyone except celese.

She giggled lightly "Well played rantaro well played. I suppose I have no choice but to admit it now"

Before we could say anything the bear popped up and demanded that we start the voting. Everyone gladly voted for celese

"how could you?" chihiro sobbed "I how could you kill him!"

"that little brat had it coming" celese face suddenly turned ugly with rage "he deserved everything he got after the way he humiliated me"

"your talking about the time kokichi lied to you and you didn't catch on right?" sakura asked.

"yes that" she growled.

"you really killed kokichi over something so small" sayaka said in disbelief "your insane!"

"think what you want of me dear. I don't quite care" celese smirk "Monokuma shall we get started on the execution?"

"yes indeed!" Monokuma cheered "let's give it everything we've got! Iiiiiiits punishment Time!"

*time skip*

I watched celese execution with a sad look on my face. Dispite finding Kokichis killer it didn't change much. Kokichi is still dead. The people he loved are still broken up by his death.

There's still nothing but Dispair in this room.
