dangonronpa v3 mastermind shuichi (saiouma)

chapter two: The twisted truth.

Kokichi's POV

"W-what?"

"W-what, you have got to be kidding me shuichi!?" I yell terrified. He has to be lying!? What happened to "You're alone Kokichi, and you always will be" Dammit, does that mean everyone else will die!? Then what was the point of my plan? What was the point of letting Kaito see me like that!?

Flashback

Third Person POV

Kokichi closed his eyes as the hydraulic press came closer to his body, the noise only making him more scared. Right now, Kokichi couldn't shake the feeling that he was in a coffin, and sickeningly enough, it was true in some twisted way.

Was this it? Was this really how Kokichi ouma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader dies?

Kokichi bit his lip so he could stifle a whimper.

I, I don't wanna die. But I want to save everyone even more. And to save everyone, I have to die. Dammit. Kokichi thought, a single tear spilled from his eye.

Kokichi felt tears well up in his eyes as the press came closer. His claustrophobia made it more unbearable to be here. But he didn't need to be okay with this. What matters more is tricking Monokuma and getting everyone out safely. That's the only reason why he was okay with this in the first place.

Kokichi's eyes snapped open as he heard banging on the hanger door. What the hell!? I thought they weren't supposed to be here for another few minutes! GOD DAMMIT!! Kokichi thought in frustration.

Kokichi then saw Kaito sprint down the stairs, and run towards the press. What is he doing!? Before he could react, Kaito grabbed Kokichi and pulled him out of the press just as it started to close on him. Kokichi yelped as Kaito's hand put too much pressure on the open wound in his back.

"W-wha!? Kaito! Let go you-" Before Kokichi could throw an insult at Kaito, his body seized. Kokichi convulsed as Kaito pulled him into a hug.

"It's okay, you're okay." Kaito whispered in Kokichi's ear as the banging grew louder. "It's going to be okay!" Kokichi wanted to scream at that moment.

Kokichi gave Kaito the antidote.

The plan was going great.

Everyone arrived earlier than Kokichi predicted, completely foiling his plan.

Kaito dragged him out of the press.

Now Kaito was shaking as he held the Ultimate Supreme Leader in his arms. Kokichi's convulsion stopped. But now Kokichi was sobbing in Kaito's chest as the hanger door broke open. Leaving everyone in disbelief.

Shuichi wasted no time in rushing to find another antidote after he found out Kokichi was poisoned. And sure enough, he did. He said that he found it in Kokichi's room, and no one questioned it further. There was no trial. Everyone was still alive. And things seemed to be okay after that.

Until the last trial was held...

"Aw~ what happened to shu-mai or Saihara-chan? C'mon, do you not love me anymore?" Shuichi asks. Sounding sad.

"I-I was-"

"He doesn't want to be with you Shuichi, and even if he did before he does not want you the way you are now!" Kaito yelled in anger. Kokichi looked at the astronaut in disbelief. Ever since the incident in the hanger, Kaito's been weirdly... friendly, with Kokichi. Kokichi didn't know what type of relationship they had. But, if he could take a guess, Kokichi would call them "friends". Though the thought of trusting someone in a killing game practically screamed suicide in Kokichi's eyes. He ended up trusting Kaito as much as he had grown to trust Himiko and her dove, Oko-san. Which was quite a bit.

"Yeah!" K1-B0 yelled in agreement.

"Awww~ you all act like he has a choice~" Shuichi said with a lower tone, his smile disappeared, leaving him with an emotionless expression.

As he finished his sentence, Kokichi felt something latch onto his neck. He couldn't get it off no matter how much he pulled.

Kokichi was lifted up and his feet couldn't touch the ground. Kokichi was now 3 feet off the ground, and everyone was screaming and yelling while trying to get him down. Himiko was sobbing, Tsumugi stared at me with terror in her eyes, despite Maki's best efforts, she also had no success. Kaito was yelling. Kokichi couldn't tell who he was yelling at because his focus was lost due to lack of oxygen.

Kokichi froze as he remembered Kaede's execution, the brutality of it, how long the execution went on for.. Kokich began kicking thin air. Hoping that the chain or the collar would break off. But it didn't, after a second past. Kokichi began to move away from his podium and towards the throne where Shuichi was. His head was spinning, he feet light headed, and he was sure his face was turning purple. But just as Kokichi started to lose consciousness, the chain disconnected from the collar, leaving the- device?- still connected to his neck.. And the second that happened, Kokichi started falling.

Kokichi closed his eyes, preparing himself for the impact and the inevitable pain. But was surprised to not feel the ground below him, but rather two arms holding him. Kokichi open his eyes to see Shuichi, who was blushing and smiling at him. But his smile was still insane looking, and he was still drooling. Kokichi flinched in silent disgust as the drool fell from Shuichi's chin and fell on his lips.

"Don't worry my beloved, this won't hurt a bit." He said as he pulled something out of his pocket and Kokichi felt something dig into his skin.

A syringe!? Kokichi thought as his vision started blurring. Voices around him were muffled and he felt tired. But he didn't pass out like he thought he would.

Then he heared a voice that wasn't muffled. Shuichi, and two of the Monokubs? But didn't they all die?

"Take him ____ my other room, __ ______ my real room. And put___ in the outfit in ___ ________. Then just lay ___ on the bed. I___ to tal-___ Monokuma."

"____ Sh__chi!"

"Uh-___ cmon Mono___."

"I'm ______ Mono__ki!"

Kokichi felt four hands on his back. The Monokubs were strong, for little creatures, or whatever a Monokuma is. Yet they can carry me? Though, it isn't that hard to do. I can't gain any weight, nor am I tall. So it shouldn't be that hard.

Kokichi heard muffled screams of pain coming from Himiko, Maki, Kaito, Kiibo, and Tsumugi.
No...no...

All of them.. Tsumugi, Kiibo, Maki, Himiko, Kaito.... the people he tried to save, the people he trusted... are gone...

And he, Kokichi ouma, couldn't save them...
