Suspicion

Chapter 3: From Daydreams to Nightmares

(Im so sorry the Pov shifts so much-)

Third Person Pov:

Shuichi sat atop the toilet seat, his eyes rolled back and blood dripping from his mouth. There was a knife in his stomach and multiple lacerations to his wrists and neck. Kokichi's eyes widened with horror and fell backwards onto the bloody floor as those who heard his scream came running. Maki and Kaito soon burst into the room, and as their eyes widened in horror the body announcement played. Soon enough the other surviving students ran into the room; Kaito, Maki, Tsumugi, Kaede, Kirumi, Rantaro, and Kiibo. Within moments of seeing the body most of them were in tears. As they cried Kirumi, ever the responsible one, realized Kokichi wasn't moving and went up to him.

Kneeling on the ground she spoke softly to him, "Kokichi...? are you alright? Im sure you must be in such pain.... Come on up you go" she murmured, helping him up. Kokichi stood, without a word trembling, as Kirumi pulled him into a hug, "its going to be ok Kokichi. Everything will be alright."

Slowly, Kokichi broke away from her hug, and stood to face the group. His eyes showed no emotion, and he looked like he was the dead one rather then Shuichi. As he brought his head up to address the group, his anger seemed to radiate off him. "I dont know which one of you did this..." he whispered, "but whoever did. I will find you. And your dead." His eyes, seemingly emotionless only moments before now looked threatening, as if he would kill anyone who dared to oppose him.

Kaede Pov:

As we investigated the body, I watched Kokichi from the corner of my eye. He seemed to have taken on what was his boyfriends role, and investigated thoroughly. I watched his relentless investigation, asking questions taking notes, examining the room, and the body. All while not one emotion showed on his face. He looked... scarily determined. As if the rest of us were nothing but suspects. No longer were we his friends, because as we all knew inside. One of us killed the ultimate detective we all loved so much. And Kokichi knew it most of all.

No one said anything to Kokichi for the rest of the investigation, nor did he speak to us. I mean, it made sense. Personally, all I could think of was Clair de Lune. It played in my head on repeat. I never did get to play it for him. Oh well. All good things eventually come to an end. And it seems our time with the beloved detective came to that end sooner then we thought.

Third Person Pov:

Monokuma, unfortunately enough, hadnt expected a murder since it had been so long since one happened. As such the execution wasnt ready, and neither was the trial. So it was said that the trial was to take place at 8 the next morning and the students were told to go to bed.

Kokichi Pov:

He... he's really gone. gone gone gone gone gone-

Shuichi leaned onto my shoulder, and as i looked into his eyes i felt at peace. And it stayed that way, for a while. So, when he sat up and turned me to face him, I was surprised to say the least. But I knew what would happen. As we leaned into each other for a kiss, I suddenly stopped. Images flashed through my head, of his body, the blood, the stab wound, the lacerations to his body, all of it. and in my ears the loud ringing of bells, and white noise flooded my senses. And then I woke up.

Today was the day. I would finally find out who killed him. I slowly crawled out of bed, and dressed myself. Heading down to the dinning room, I almost tripped multiple times. I had slept horribly. But I knew I had to hold out. I had to make it through breakfast. I had to find out who. who could have killed him.

The mood was somber as we headed down into the depths. The elevator ride felt like it would never end. No one spoke. No one even looked in my direction. But I could see multiple of my classmates were crying. Of course I didn't care. Why would I? Because one of these people. one of my so called "friends." had killed the one i loved most. And I was determined to find out who.
