Danganronpa x Reader - It's PUNISHMENT TIIME!

Ishimaru x Reader - Am I still the same? Part 2

"Y/N. . .the truth is. . .

". . .isn't. . . . . . .murder. . ."A faint, barely audible whisper escaped Ishimaru's lips, but I couldn't make out what he was saying.

"Sorry?" Kirigiri spoke for the first time in a slightly impatient tone.

"This. . . .first time. . . I. . ." Fear over took me as I realised what he was trying to say. But that couldn't be! I must be wrong! Right?

"Speak up you insolent fool!" Togami's voice was filled with arrogance and authority.

"THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME I'VE MURDERED!" 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Silence spread across the room as everyone - including me - looked at Ishimaru in shock. The difference though was that there was no disgust in my expression, unlike everyone else.

I quietly asked the questions we all wondered. 

"Who?" 

"Why?" 

I didn't want to know anything else. It would have been pointlessly horrifying.

"It was. . .It was my-my grand-father. He-he always pushed me to my extremes to be the best. To never fail. To never do anything wrong. To always be right. He never excepted anything but perfection. And then one day, I found out that he broke the law. . . I CRACKED OK?! I COULDN'T STAND TO THINK THAT I SUFFERED THAT MUCH FOR NO REASON! TO HAVE ALL THE HARDSHIP THROWN BACK IN MY FACE BY THE VERY MAN WHO HURT ME! 

"So I-I-I. . ." Ishimaru's voice faded and turned into gentle sobs that shook his entire body. He covered his mess of a face with his hands as he sunk to his knees. 

I didn't know what to do. I finally understood everything and despite how terrible it all was, I still loved him. I couldn't change how I saw him. Besides. . .he had been in pain  for so long, maybe he couldn't see any other way out. 

In short, there was probably more to the story then he let on. 

Slowly, I drew him into a hug which he almost immediately returned. 

"How can you still touch someone like me? And with such warmth as well. . ." I could feel tears fall onto my shoulder as my grip on him tightened.

"I love you Ishimaru. I always have."

Ishimaru pushed me away and looked in to my eyes. Piercing them with his red orbs

"But am I still the same? Am I the same person you fell in love with?" 

"Is that even a question?" I chuckled for the first time in what felt like forever. "You'll always be the same in my eyes." 

"WRONG! You should have said no Y/N! Then Ishimaru would fall to despair!" Monokuma smashed the illusion of peace that had fallen over the room with his ever ecstatic shout.

"Well Y/N, thank you for staying with a monster like me for so long. At least I can go in peace now." he looked at me with a regretful smile. "If only I could have spent more time with you then things would be perfect."

"I-Ishimaru!" In vain, I reached my hand towards him as he walked away. He was ready to leave but I wasn't ready to lose him. 

And Monokuma was ready to kill.

"Now then, I've prepared a very special punishment for Kiyotaka Ishimaru, The Ultimate Moral Compass!

Lets give it everything we've got! It's. . . PUNISHMENT TIIME! 

Confetti covered the sky and at the centre of what seemed to be a parade was Ishimaru, who stood in a car that was slowly driving past a massive group of monokumas. The creepy monokumas held signs saying "Hooray for Prime Minister Ishimaru!". He should have been smiling for an occasion like this, but his expression was awkward. Then I noticed the chains on is body.

The real Monokuma suddenly shouted: "Say something Ishimaru! Make a speech!" His fixed grimace seemed more crude and disturbing. How could he be this cruel?

"This was always my dream. . .but now it will never come true. . ." He looked at me with longing eyes as a small tear stained his once innocent face.

Ishimaru's eyes widened in dread now as a Monokuma dressed as an assassin appeared. It pointed it's gun at Ishimaru's heart and pulled the trigger.

Blood. Pink blood. Bright pink blood. It covered and spread across his pure white uniform and trickled through his hand which clutched at his chest. 

"Taka!" I cried in heartache.

He looked at me, smiled and only by lip reading did I know what he was saying:

"I'm still the same" 

And with that he crumpled to the floor. Ishimaru was dead. 

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've finished and now I can go cry in that corner over there!
