(AN: hiii!! I just wanted to say how much I really appreciate all of you who are reading this!! It's means a lot and I hope you continue to enjoy this story :) )

"Everyone!" He tried to yell at the top of his lungs, but it came out hoarse. He jumped down the stairs 3 at a time. "I need help please!" He heard a crash and saw Kaito appear a few seconds later worry all over his face,
"Shuuichi! What happened did something happen, where were you?!" He saw Tsumugi come rushing in panic stricken.
"Are you alright Shuuichi!?" He ignored Tsumugi and looked at Kaito,
"It's Kokichi, something happened in the real world, his avatar went completely lifeless!"

Kaito swore and turned to Tsumugi,
"Can you try and gather everyone, and try and find some way to get everyone over the other side back over here." It wasn't really a question, but more of an instruction. Tsumugi nodded seriously and hurried off leaving Shuuichi and Kaito alone. Without a second to waste Shuuichi grabbed the phone hung on the wall and spoke quickly,
"Shuuichi Saihara!" He saw pixels emerge from all around him and then suddenly it was black. The sensation of a chair beneath him came back to him and he pulled the headset off frantically, throwing it aside carelessly.

Kaito pulled his off almost at the same time and they both looked at Kokichi's spot. Shuuichi rose unsteadily and approached the chair, and stepped back almost instinctively covering his mouth in horror. There was a large stain covering majority of his front contrasting horribly against his white shirt. Kaito put an arm on his shoulder reassuringly and moved forward cautiously to remove the headset. As soon as the headset was clear of his face the sight became all the more real. Kokichi's eyes were bloodshot and staring, his mouth and front covered in semi dried blood. Shuuichi shook his head wishing he could unsee it. He had to be stronger than this, especially if he wanted to expose Tsumugi. He took a deep breath and approached the body shakily. He softly shut Kokichi's eyelids and glanced at Kaito.

"I'll expose the killer no matter what, even if I die in the process. Will you help me?" Kaito nodded and gave a small smile,
"Of course. Let's do it, sidekick!"
"Thankyou." He smiled back weakly and looked around the room. He bent down and picked up a small bottle that had been lying by Kokichi's feet. He frowned, this wasn't the same poison as the first time, the consistency was completely different.
"Bro, what's it say?" Shuuichi gulped trying to reseed the pain in his throat.
"T-the front is covered in blood I can't read it..." He shuddered, turning it around in his hand, "wait, 'a slow acting poison that once ingested, breaks down the cells in the taker's body and causes severe hemorrhaging'." He choked out, tears threatening to fall once again. He glared at the nearly empty bottle, "essentially it shut down all of his organs and caused him to bleed to death from the inside..." Kaito didn't say anything he just stared at the body fear riddled in his own eyes.

He put the bottle to the side aggressively, almost breaking it in his anger. That was obviously from his lab, he could go check there later, but right now there were more pressing matters. There was a sound from behind them and they both looked around. The rest of his classmates had gotten up drunkenly from their seats and came to join them.

"K-kokichi??"

"Wait Tsumugi you didn't say,"

"Nyehhh?!"

"You've got to be fucking kidding me..." Miu backed away eyes darting to Shuuichi, she shook her head slowly, eyes wide, "Shuuichi I swear..." he nodded at her.
"I know." He interrupted, trying to convey that he knew she wasn't the culprit. Kaito looked between them, obviously confused, but thankfully chose to not question it.

[DING DONG DING DONG]

They all jumped as the familiar tone played over the speakers and the familiar black and white bear appeared out of nowhere, seemingly not noticing everyone standing around him.
"What's this? It seems that you lot have discovered a body, I gueeesss this calls for a body discovery announcement!" Although monokuma was right in front of them, his voice seemed to be coming from the speakers rather than his own body. "Everyone please report to the computer lab..." Monokuma looked around at them all and gave a gasp, "oh you're all already here, I guess I can make my announcement live!! Well as you might have seen, here lies the ultimate supreme leader in his final resting place." Monokuma wiped away a fake tear dramatically and continued, "he was taken too early! Well here's the file," he handed the file to Himiko who was nearest and waved, "happy investigating!"
