The Dream -Oumasai

Part 15 - Shuichi's P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning to see Kokichi by my side. He looks so peaceful. I want to curl up with him for longer, but I'm going to have to pack.

I stand up and take the unused suitcase. I look at Ouma once more before heading to my room. On the way I see Kaito. "Hey partner!" He shouted my way. "What's up with the suitcase?"

"Monokuma said Kokichi and I are going to graduate tomorrow."

"That's great! Maki Roll and I should be leaving soon too." He had a big smile on his face.

"Really? Does that mean you two went to the Love Hotel?" Knowing Kaito, he probably forgot.

"Love Hotel? What's that?" I knew he wasn't the smartest, but come on. I don't know if I should tell him.

"It's just a regular hotel that you have to say a night in if you want to graduate." I lied. Kokichi and I have been together for one day and he's already rubbing off on me. Plus, I know they won't go if they know what you really have to do there. Wait a minute, Kokichi and I never even went to the Love Hotel. Did we? The only time I could think of was in that dream of mine. Was it a dream? If that night in his Ultimate lab wasn't a dream, I wonder if the night in the Love Hotel wasn't a dream as well.

"Okay, I'll tell Maki. See you later." Kaito said before walking away. I continued walking to my room. Once I got there, I started packing everything. About an hour later, I was done. I felt extremely tired, and just wanted to go to sleep. Instead of falling asleep in my room, I decided to head back to Ouma's room. He would probably freak out if he saw I was gone.

I walked into Kokichi's room to see him still passed out. I went around to the otherside of the bed and laid down next to him.

The next morning, I wake up and I don't see Kokichi near me. I look around the bed, but he isn't there. All I found was his little teddy bear with a hat, similar to mine, on his head. Then, I hear Kokichi's signature laugh.

"Nee-heehee! Looking for me?" He asked as he exited the bathroom.

"Yeah, I was going to help you pack." I sit up and look around his room. It was clean. That's unusual. There was no pile of blueprints on the ground, no crumbled letters on his desk, and everything on the whiteboard was erased.

"Well, I already finished. Wanna go to your room so you can pack?" He sat next to me on the bed.

"I did my packing last night." I say, putting my arm around him. He smiled and snuggled up with me. I smiled back at him.

"I can't wait for you to meet D.I.C.E." Kokichi looked up at me. "You're going to love them. "

"Well, at 12, we can see them." I looked up at the clock. It was nearly 10:00. How did I sleep in so late?

"How about we go play in the casino?" Kokichi asked, getting really excited.

I nodded. "Sure." He jumped to his feet and headed to the door. "Come on, my beloved."

"Your what?" What did he call me?

"I thought 'my beloved' was a cute nickname for you. It proves that you're mine." He started to look sad. "Do you not like it?"

"No, I do. I was just confused."

He popped back to his normal self. "Good, now let's go." He took me by the hand and rushed to the casino.

When we arrived, I noticed no one was there. We were all alone. Ouma immediately ran to the salmon game near the staircase. I followed him and wrapped my arms around his waist as he started the game. A few minutes later, he lost the game.

"What?! How did I lose?" He looked surprised and very upset. I couldn't tell if he was really surprised or if he was just lying.

"Maybe because you kept hitting the bombs." I laughed at him.

He huffed. "No I didn't. The game just hates me."

"Stop lying, I saw it. You nearly hit all of the bombs." I moved my hand to the controls on the game. "Here, let me play."

"Fine, but don't expect to be better than me." He stood on the side of me to watch the game. Unlike him, I actually got a good score. In fact, I got the best score in our class.

"What- How did you-" Kokichi tried to figure out what just happened. "How did you beat me? I'm the Ultimate Supreme Leader."

"I actually looked at the rules before jumping into the game. Unlike you." I stared at him.

He crossed his arms. "I'll let you have this one." I laughed at him before kissing his head. He looked up at me and smiled before looking at the clock behind me. "Should we start heading to the gym?"

I looked at the clock too. It was past 11:30. I nodded. "Yeah, let's go." He took my hand and swung it back and forth as we walked to the dormitory to get our suitcases. Afterwards, we made our way to the gym.

When we got there, everyone else stared at us. I guess I know where everyone else was. Soon, Monokuma appeared from behind the podium.

"Listen up losers. Two students are graduating today and I'm pretty sure you can tell who." He said before looking in Kokichi and I's direction. He started giving us a long speech. He concluded with, "Now, go to the Death Road of Despair." He finished off with.

Kokichi and I walked over to the Death Road of Despair. When we arrived, I noticed a pink and grey hammer on the ground. I walked over and picked it up.

Kokichi stood on the side of me. "It looks like the bomb Miu made me."

"Why did Miu make you a bomb?" I was slightly concerned. Why would Kokichi need a bomb? And why would Miu agree to make it for him?

"I was going to use it if an exisal tried to hurt us. What it does is it takes out anything electric in its radius. I'm sure the hammer works the same way." Kokichi picked up the hammer and turned to me. "Come on, we'll test it on the way."

"O-Okay." I followed him into the dark tunnel. He was right. The hammer works the same way. One the hammer hits an electric object, the device shuts off. However, the battery dies pretty fast, so we tried to get through as fast as possible. When we actually did get through the tunnel, a small room awaited us. In this room was a large grey door and a panel that needed some sort of password.

"How about we just smash the panel. That should work." Kokichi said with an evil grin.

"We can't. The battery's dead." I pointed to the hammer before thinking of another plan. "Wait, do you have that bomb on you."

He nodded. "Yep." He laid down his suitcase and took out a small bomb.

"The bomb should be able to take out the panel. All you have to do is activate it."

"Got it." He activated the bomb before throwing it to the ground. Pink smoke went everywhere. The smoke went away a few seconds later to reveal the door was open.

I took Kokichi's hand and we walked out of the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles. Our new life awaits...
