Lies

It's not a lie

Saihara's POV:

The rest of the week went by smoothly, at least until Iruma invited us to her virtual world. Iruma had sadly died.
After working with Ouma-Kun and Momota-Kun to find clues, the trial started.

The trial didn't seem to be going anywhere. Something I did notice was Ouma's silence. He hadn't said anything all trial.

"I bet Ouma-Kun did it!" Momota accused Kokichi. Ouma-Kun's eyes widened, I could tell he didn't want to speak.

Before, he could speak I asked Momota-Kun, "what makes you believe that?"

"Well for starters, Ouma hasn't said one word, he wanted to 'help' you with our investigation," Momota said adding air quotes around help. "Oh and don't forget that he's a lier, manipulative, a dick, and he hates all of us and we hate him back." Kaito's words angered me.

"None of that is solid evidence, plus just because you hate him doesn't mean we all do!" I yelled at Momota.

"Then let's ask him, a true detective would be able to tell if he's lying or not." Momota then asked, "Ouma did you, or did you not kill Iruma."

Before anyone knew what was happening, Ouma-Kun blurted our, "I didn't kill Iruma, I'm sorry Gokuhara, it was Gokuhara-Chan. I was going to meet up with Iruma-Chan, as I promised her, and there I saw Gonta-Chan choking her with a roll of toilet paper." Ouma-Kun looked like he was about to cry.

"Wow, not only did you lie but you're also fake crying." Kaito had annoyance in his voice.

"I don't want either of them to be dead, Momota-Chan!" Tears were starting to fall from his face.

"He's not lying, Kaito." My voice was sad and defeated. I tuned out the rest of the trail.

Once we got released I saw Kaito, first yell and then hit Ouma-Kun. This snapped me out of my daze. I yelled to Kokichi as he ran towards the dorms.

"How fake can he be." Momota-Kun said.

"He's not fake!" I started to yell, "how could you be so cruel, Momota-Kun!" Tears were building up in my eyes.

"Shuichi," Momota extended an arm to place on my shoulder, and I slapped it away.

"Don't call me shuichi ever again!" Then I ran off to find Kokichi.

I hope you enjoyed this very short chapter.
