5 | Bounty hunter

rare Monokuma W in this chapter

Komaeda had gone to buy some ingredients for food, but he had gotten lost. Now he had no clue where he was and it was dark already. Suddenly, he bumped into someone.

"Sorry." He took a step back and saw that it was a man. He was tall and wearing a long, black cloak. The shadow of the hood was covering most of his face, but you could see his red eyes glowing.

"Komaeda Nagito,"

"Yes?"

"I've come to end your life,"

"I see. For the bounty, right? Can't you just bring me there alive though? I mean, technically. The sign does say 'dead or alive', so..."

The man shook his head. "I am death. I always kill my victims,"

"Death? You mean... oh, that bounty hunter, right? I've heard of you!"

"Now then, are you ready to die?"

"Well... I wouldn't mind dying. But not right now, please. My life is finally starting to get a bit better, so-"

The man grabbed his chin. "Why should I wait for you?"

"Uhm..." He pulled him even closer. Komaeda gulped. "U-uhm... just wait, jeez! I'll come to you once I'm ready,"

"How interesting. My victims have never tried to do something like this. But no. I'm going to kill you now. Say your last words-"

He got pushed over and Komaeda yelped. There stood Monokuma, holding the man down. He took this chance to run. He ran and ran and ran, but he just couldn't find Hinata's house. His legs were getting tired.

"Please just... let me go home..." He whispered to himself. He couldn't run anymore. Komaeda gave up and fell forward, but he didn't hit the floor. He didn't care enough to open his eyes though, so he just fell asleep.

When he woke up, he was laying in his bed. "Huh?" He rubbed his eyes and sat up. "Hinata-kun?"

The door opened. "Hey there. What happened yesterday?"

Komaeda gripped his sheets and tensed up.

"Uhm... some man tried to kill me..."

"What? Who?"

"A bounty hunter. He said he was death. I don't know his real name. How did you find me?"

"I got worried since you didn't come home so I went to look for you,"

"Thank you." He smiled slightly. "It's rare that people worry about a filthy thief like me,"

"Why do you steal anyways? Just get a job,"

"I... I'm an orphan. I had no money at all and was too young to get a job when my parents died so I had to steal. Now everyone knows who I am and they don't want me to work for them," He explained.

Hinata looked sad. "Damn... I'm sorry,"

"It's okay. I don't really care anymore..."
