"Kokichi, you idiot," Shuichi yelled as they fell. He opened his mouth to say more, but stopped. Saying his name caught himself off guard. Kokichi was dead. So who was this copycat? And why did he drag him down a hole? The only explanation Shuichi could come up with was that this was some prank by angry fans. But then why didn't they just let him jump? There were so many question going through his head.

Kokichi looked back at Shuichi, smiling. Shuichi attempted a glare, but was too overcome by fear. He didn't know what they were going to land on. Kokichi didn't seem worried.

"What are we going to land on," Shuichi asked. Just as he finished his question, he started seeing light. The two fell out of the hole, onto the ground.

Despite the long fall, neither were injured. Shuichi stood up immediately, backing away from Kokichi, who was just sitting there, staring. He smiled at Shuichi.

"Who are you," Shuichi yelled. He looked around at his surroundings. "And where am I?"

"Geesh you're slow," Kokichi said. Shuichi didn't have the patience for this.

"Tell me!"

"Kokichi Oma sound familiar?"

"You're not him..."

"Then who am I?" Shuichi stared at him, expecting to find something that would reveal who they really were. But nothing. Not one thing seemed out of ordinary. That's when Shuichi noticed it.

"Kokichi would never wear rabbit ears." Shuichi walked up to him and tried to pull the ears off. They didn't budge.

"Ow! Hey, they're real!" Shuichi gave him a confused look.

"W-what? A-anyways, Kokichi doesn't have real rabbit ears either."

"Says who?"

"Says me and everyone else that was..." Shuichi stopped. He couldn't bring himself to mention the killing game. Just thinking about it upsetted him. He could feel tears forming in his eyes. Noticing this, Kokichi held Shuichi's hand in confort. Started by that, Shuichi pulled his hand away and backed up. "And Kokichi definitely doesn't care about anyone's feelings."

"Heh, shows what you know." Shuichi sighed, realizing this conversation would go nowhere.

"Whatever. Where are we?"

"Would you believe Neverland?"

"No, I would not."

"Narnia?"

"No."

"Wonderland?"

"Tell me the truth!"

"But why? The truth is so boring." Shuichi had enough of this. He started walking away. "I'll find my own way home."

"Wait!" Kokichi got up and ran in front of Shuichi. He pulled out a bottle with purple liquid in it. "You have to drink this."

"What? No!" Shuichi pushed the bottle away and walked around Kokichi. He heard Kokichi sigh, but didn't turn around.

Shuichi didn't get far before Kokichi turned him around and kissed him. His eyes widened in shock but he didn't move. He couldn't. Kokichi held him by the front of this hoodie. When Kokichi finally let go, Shuichi took a step back. Kokichi smiled.

"W-what was-," Shyichi started.

"This," Kokichi said, showing Shuichi the now empty bottle. He throw the bottle at him. "I'd hold onto it if I were you." Shuichi was beyond confused. "Have fun trying to get home!" Kokichi walked away.

"H-hey, wait!' Shuichi picked up the bottle and went to follow Kokichi, but he was already gone. "Kokichi!" It pained him to say the name, but he shook it off. He had no clue where he was and Kokichi might be the only one that could help him.
