Shuichi's POV
I wasn't even paying attention to the fighting. The fighting could have been world destroying and I probably wouldn't have noticed.
A pair of scissors stuck my shirt collar into the wall. I'm pretty sure I let out a gir-manly- scream. The girl was right in front of me now holding the other pair of scissors at my neck. "You won't tell anyone i was here... Got that!" She demanded and I nodded. She laughed and pulled the scissors out of my shirt collar.
She grabbed tsumugi and started to drag her away. I sighed and leaned against the wall. 'Wait is she was dressed up as rantaro.... where is rantaro?' The thought popped into my mind.
I got up off the floor was ran back to rantaros room. I bumped into somebody at the door. It hurt me a lot more than then. "Shuichi you should be more careful" Kiibo said helping me steady myself.
Kokichi seemed to have the key. He went to unlock the door to have it fall out of the doorway. I rushed inside looking everywhere I could think. I found him in the bathtub.
After untying him we noticed he was unconscious. Kokichi still was scared to move him around to much. "If he wakes up and your moving him too fast your going to make him dizzy....... literally I know if happened when I arrived" Kokichi has said and Kiibo laughed.
I was confused about the reference. "What?" "Hydrolic press shuichi" he sighed at my question.
We had moved rantaro into his bed. He was starting to stir and most likely would freak out. I was right he did. He actually punched Kiibo when we woke up. He was currently cradling his hand while Kokichi was rubbing circles into his back.
He had calmed down after a few minutes enough for kokichi to have a conversation with him. "So it seems they were after Naegi...." kokichi muttered.
"Makes sense weren't they using him for experiments" I said slightly questioning myself. "Well.... we need to get the security up around here so things like this don't happen again" kokichi responded and we all agreed.
Kokichi's POV
Kiibo had just left with Shuichi to go get rantaro something to eat while I stayed with him. I wouldn't be much of a fight but it was to stall whatever or whoever might come inside.
"Now that we have tsumugi... Junko might come back and look for her" I muttered to myself. It was silent in the room as rantaro had passed out from the stress of everything. I was sitting on the floor by the door.
"Oh here is the hostage" a chilly voice came from the doorway. I stood up immediately only for my legs to be swept out from under me. Something pressed against my neck. My blood went cold until I heard a sneeze. The object holding me down lightly cut my neck while the person fell.
I pressed a hand to my neck to stop some of the bleeding. Footsteps started to approach. A tall blonde man stood in the doorway. He looked at me as if I was the plague. The room was filled with tension. So thick you could cut it with a butter knife.
Until somebody walked up to the door. It was Kiibo and Shuichi. Both seemed confused by the glare this man was sending me. "Uh what is going on here" Shuichi questioned. This caused the man to turn his gaze to them.
The girl stirred when he looked away. She looked at me and screeched about blood. She looked totally different and now was shivering while I had backed away from her. The man walked up and grabbed her then left.
Kiibo walked over to me and pulled my hand away from my neck. "Don't worry it's just a scratch" I stated. It only looked bad cause she lightly cut a vein when she passed out. He pulled me into a hug burying my face in his shoulder.
When he let go he picked me up. I had screeched a bit. "Let's get you patched up I would rather you not bleed out from this" "Kiibo I would already be dead if I was going to bleed out" "yes but you have a huge bruise of the spot that's turning green" Shuichi argued after Kiibo and Is conversation.
"Likely you were poisoned" Shuichi added before getting up and leaving. Kiibo lightly smacked the back of my head. "Oh what the heck?!" I yelled even though I had been nearly killed by poison this one was slightly different. This one was causing all of my nerves to kinda pulse painfully.
"Stop getting into trouble" he muttered. "Uhhh... Kiibo I think this is a fast working poison..." I started after a few moments of silence. "Why?" He asked I didn't give the answer he wanted and instead slumped over. He screech about if I was okay.
I couldn't answer already I felt the full effect of the poison. I almost passed out before Kiibo slapped me across the face. It woke me up but hurt like hell. "Sorry but you can't fall asleep I couldn't think of anything else to do!" He said frantically.
This wasn't like strike 9 it was a crude one. I knew it was a long working one, but it was one that made the victim feel full effects for hours after hit. I made this assumption based on the fact that I wasn't dead yet like a usual fast working poison.
So we had to wait it out for Shuichi to come back with likely some sort of antidote. I had nestled into kiibos side while my body was layed over Kiibos legs. It was getting harder and harder to stay awake as the seconds passed. I knew Kiibo would smack me again if I showed signs of passing out.
An annoying ringing filled my ears. I could tell Kiibo was panicking.
