Danganronpa: Black and White

Chapter 3: Familiar Faces (Future)

Yashiro... Yashiro Yamato.

We had met during The Detective Hunt. He was killed by Ryo near the end of that killing game... or so I thought... or I guess we thought. Suki looked shocked too.

"Y-Yashiro?" I got up slowly and stumble over to him and reached how to touch him. He was actually here... alive.

I hugged him tightly.

I know it sounds odd that I missed a killer but... something was different about him.

For those who don't know Yashiro Yamato, he is a murderer who always killed wives. Something felt off though. I never learned why he killed wives. And to sound weirder, we bonded... I grew to care for him like a brother. That's all I know about him though. During The Detective Hunt, one of the participants named Ryo had shot Yashiro in the head. We didn't dare check because... well... it was a headshot...

Yet here he was. His jet black hair, his bright yellow eyes... he was wearing a dark purple shirt and wearing some type of pendant. His black dress pants were dirty with dirt and dust and his dress shoes have seen better days.

"How did you..." I started

"People have survive headshots you know..." He smiles and pats my back as we hugged. He started to explain what had happened.

"I was out for what I'd guess a few hours. When I woke up I was still in the damn building. I had to pull the bullet that was sticking out of my forehead... it was the worst pain Ive ever felt." He sighs "After the pain went down a bit where I could walk I got up and looked around. I found Ishi and Ryo's dead bodies... I didn't see you and got worried. I found you tied up on a chair talking to Suki and Rin." He glanced at Suki "Nice to see you again..." He smirks and continues "I heard everything and after they left I found a hole that led outside and escaped before the whole building collapsed. I passed out and woke up in a hospital where I was treated until I was put in prison... then once The Tragedy struck, I was able to escape. I came to Shitai City and lived here until this happened."

That's his story. I went and explained how I was a head of the famous Future Foundation and all of that stuff.

"I don't mean to interrupt but..." Yin started "...We were all called here no?" She held up her wrist and reminded us about our bangles with the instructions telling us to come here.

As on cue we all heard the sound of a clanging against the ground. Then we saw a smoke grenade fill the room.

"This is...!" Suki started

"That gas!" Yashiro tries covering his mouth and nose but it was too late. We were all on the ground and asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------
When we awoke we were in a cage on the field. Well I was in a cage with Suki. Not too far from us, Yin and Yashiro were in a cage. There were many other cages too with...

"Rin!" Suki yelled.

In one cage there was Rin with.... some old man? He looked like he was in his 50s or 60s. He was a bit scary looking. He had a skull tattoo with lightning around it on his left shoulder. Rin was scared surprisingly and was staying close to him.

I only payed attention for a moment though... because in another cage I saw two of the most important people in my life

"M-Mom...? M-Mistress...?"

In a cage across from us were Alice Otonashi and Sena Raijin. My mother and mistress.
