Against All Odds || Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu x Fem!Reader

Wait... WHO!?

Not long after Hajime had left, and an uncomfortable silence in the diner, a familiar bell ringing sounded out.

A bell you had only heard once before....

And as everyone looked over to the monitor, Monokuma appeared on the screen. 

"A body has been discovered! Now then, after a certain amount of time has passed, a class trial will begin!"

Everyone simply stared at the monitor even after it cut off. Sonia looked around. "N... no...."

You simply looked at your hands. At least you had a much better alibi this time. 

And in the distance, you heard Kazuichi's voice. "SOMEONE COME HEREEEE!!!!"

Without another word, you stood up, Ibuki right behind you. As you bolted out the door of the diner, you could hear Ibuki's quick breaths. "oh my god, oh my god! Someone's dead! It's not Ibuki, but someone's dead!"

Thanks to the sound of Kazuichi's desperate screams, you managed to find your way to the beach house. Pushing on the door, it wouldn't budge. Oh, shit...

"Back here!" Ibuki waved her hands. She was standing at the back door of the beach house and you followed her before pushing open the doors.

"H-hey, what the fuck is going on in here- huh?" You froze, as did Ibuki.

...

...

...

Mahiru Koizumi, the Ultimate Photographer, was dead... leaned against the door in cold death. This... this was just cruel.... 

It felt as if there was a pit in your stomach. You had hoped no one would die anymore after seeing what happened to Teruteru.... but the fact that there is this second murder proves that it just won't stop.

"No..." You breathed, placing a hand over your stomach to hold down bile.

Mahiru might have been a little much sometimes, but she didn't deserve this... all she ever wanted was to take care of everyone.... and this is where that got her?

Kazuichi's frantic words sounded so far away. You were unable to peel your eyes away from Mahiru's body. 

Ibuki struggled to speak before eventually hyperventilating. "A-blub-blub-blub-blub-blub-blub-blub-blub-blub-blub....."

"N-now's not the time to make bubbles!" Kazuichi snapped, his own eyes filled with tears. "Hurry and get the others!"

Ibuki immediately left the beach house, struggling to keep her breathing okay.

Who could do something like this to someone so... nevermind... just nevermind. 

Whoever did this was a monster... A cruel, cruel, self-absorbed monster...

"Wh-what the hell is this!?" Akane's gasp tore you away from your thoughts.

Mikan screamed. "EAAAAAK! Wh-why Mahiru!?"

"F-for heaven's sake, what in the world is going on!?" Sonia gasped. 

As they began to move inside the beach house, Chiaki held out her hand in a "stop" motion. "Ah, hold on a sec... Those things beneath you. Be careful not to step on them."

Peko's face twisted. "B-beneath...?"

Chiaki nodded. "You know. Those footprints infront of that door." She pointed. "There are footprints leading out of the beach house, right? That could be an important clue. So, don't step on them."

"I-if you mean evidence..." Sonia breathed. 

I nod. "M-Monokuma mentioned it... in the announcement. After... a certain amount of time, there'll be another class trial..."

Ibuki gasped. "WAH!? Another class trial!?"

"Then... are you saying this is..." Akane mumbled.

Before she could finish, a familiar black-and-white bear popped up. "Thaat's right! One of you guys killed her!"

Mikan steps back. "K-killed!? That's i-impossible!!"

Kazuichi palmed his forehead. "Eugh... i-it's not like... an a-accident or anything?"

Monokuma tilted his head. "If you guys think it's an accident... that still means it was caused by someone else's actions, right? Then.... that also counts.... as a legitimate murder. Though such deaths fall on a grey area, on this island, i will make it clear to you guys. On this island, basically, dying from sickness is the only cause of death that is not considered murder. Well, it's impossible to get sick and die on this island. Not when Monomi takes such good care of you kids!"

Monomi silently peeks out. 

"P-Plush toy..." You whispered.

"Oh speaking of which..." Monokuma continued.

Monomi stayed silent.

"There it is...." Monokuma spoke, feigning sadness. "The silent treatment attack! This is like the number one thing that hurts me! Well fine! I'm not gonna lose to your bashing! I've decided to become a tough kid!"

Finally, Monomi speaks, covering her face with her arms. "This... this is the worst.... again... this horrible nightmare... Another victim... and it's all Monokuma's fault!"

Monokuma chuckles. "Jeez, it's not my fault! Huh, then who's fault is it you ask? TO find out, we hold a class trial! Sooo let's begin already. No whining. Just begin. Okaaay, i shall start to pass out the Monokuma File #2. These should start to feel familiar."

You glare at him. "You're one sick fuck..."

Monokuma only shrugs. "Now then, do your very best to investigate! I'll see you later at the class trial!"

"Cl-Class trial.... Investigation...." Monomi whimpered, following after Monokuma.

Whoever did this.... was just.... horrible...
