Lazy Danganronpa OneShots (Mostly V3)

Mastermind Kokichi Pt 3

After three cups of tea drank in silence, Kokichi finally spoke up, "So... Shuichi... would you be so kind to enlighten me... on how you became a detective?" Kokichi hummed as Shuichi nodded.

"It wasn't anything crazy. I just happened to stumble across this old cold case and solve it when no one else could... afterwards everyone kept praising me and calling me The Ultimate Detective." Shuichi explains.

"Still solving cold cases is a truly difficult task to do... after all that's why they are cold cases... because the trail has been lost to convict anyone of being guilty..." Kokichi hummed dumping his tea, "What was the case of I might be so bold to ask?" Kokichi hummed.

"Uh..." Shuichi went stiff.

"Oh... I'm guessing it was not a happy ending... than again. Most cold cases aren't happy endings." Kokichi just backed off.

"There was... there was a guy.... Who murdered the victim.... When I found him and arrested him.... He told me.... That he had killed the victim, because they were abusing and hurting his family... and..." Shuichi was startled by Kokichi slamming his cup on the table.

Shuichi flinched and looked at Kokichi a bit worriedly, "Kokichi?!?" He asked.

"So what?!? Killing others who did something bad makes it right somehow?!?" Kokichi's eyes were burning red as he couldn't hide an intense anger.

"K-Kokichi?!?" Shuichi was a bit scared of him.

"That fcking ideology makes me sick!" Kokichi stands up, "A fcking serial killer who thinks he has every fcking right and justifications to murder other people who kill... KILLED MY FATHER! My dad! I don't care! What the world thinks of me! My dad is a good man and if he killed you better believe it's for a dam good reason! So don't you go believing for a fcking second that killing people just cuz they did something wrong is right." Kokichi was shaking and tears rolling down his face.

Shuichi slowly gets up and gently takes Kokichi's hand and he looks at Shuichi confused with tears rolling down his eyes. Shuichi just hugged Kokichi who tenses up and just accepted the hug.

"I... I didn't mean to remind you of something painful." Shuichi whispered.

"I... I overreacted sorry..." Kokichi was trying to calm himself down.

"No. It's okay. I'm sorry that happened to you... and thanks..." Shuichi replied.

"What for?" Kokichi wiped his eyes.

"You're right... killing people just cuz they did wrong... it's still wrong." Shuichi clutched his chest, "I've been blaming myself for ever solving the case, because I believed in that man's intentions... but hearing your story... I think... regardless of the intentions... he still committed the crime. He still hurt someone. Maybe they did deserve it, but that's not my call to make. That's for the police and court to decide. And it wasn't his right to make that call to end the victims life either. He should of tried something else instead." Shuichi held his chest, "So thank you for that." Shuichi mets Kokichi's eyes which are so full of pain and anguish.

Shuichi can't help, but brush Kokichi's hair away, "Kokichi... I hope you don't become like them. I hope you don't hurt someone because they hurt you." Shuichi explains.

Kokichi looks at Shuichi in shock with his eyes turning back to purple and slowly steps away from him holding his hands.

"Ha... hahahaha.... Hahaha...." Kokichi started to laugh feeling his walls fall around him.

"K-Kokichi?!?" Shuichi looks scared.

Kokichi relaxed, "Sorry. I just... wasn't expecting to hear that." Kokichi closed his eyes feeling torn, "You're a good person Shuichi." Kokichi smiled at him.
