Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc: K.I.P

Chapter 3: Headache Trauma (Part 5)

I got downstairs without seeing anybody. It bothered me slightly that no one was around. No one......was dead right? I tried shaking the thought out of my head as I went to the bathhouse. Memories started flooding back. Specifically when everyone found Alter Ego. I glanced at the slightly opened locker. The computer was still in there, its screen was black. I got a towel to cover myself and went into the sauna after disrobing. For some reason, the sauna felt....colder then before as I sat down. Maybe it was the weird flames around my eyes. I don't know what it was but....I had felt more...at ease. Even though I was alone, well...not completely alone. The voice in my head interrupted my thought.

"Ishimaru..." Mondo said.

"..yeah Mondo?" I asked.

"Can I tell you.....some--" he started but was cut off by a shout from the front of the bathhouse.

"What the....hell....?" I asked after I jumped.

"Who was that?" Mondo asked. I suddenly stood up. I could only assume that it was Mondo's doing. I put an ear up to the door and could hear people talking from the other side. It was muffled but I'm sure I heard something.

"I was just asking what he was doing with Alter Ego after school hours" That was Kirigiri.

"I get lonely......I just wanted someone to talk to..." That was Hifumi. I suddenly felt the sense of...an anger build up.

"Don't say anything..." Mondo said.

"Oh...kay then?" I said before falling silent. I pushed the bathhouse door opened and was greeted by everyone else. A voice that wasn't my own yelled out.

"This sauna is amaze-balls!" I cringed at what Mondo said in this ....Ishida look.
I saw Asahina cover her eyes, right I was still only in a towel.

"Ishimaru......?" Makoto asked.

"Why the hell you calling me that dude?" Ishida said. "Keep the crap up your going to give me an identity crisis!" I then noticed that Alter Ego's computer was turned on and sitting on the bench in the middle of the room. I could see the face that mimicked Chihiro. "Anyways forget that" Ishida continued. "I heard your little pow-wow and did not dig what I heard! Alter Ego is mine a-holes"

Hifumi suddenly jumped in front of the computer. "No! This is true love! I'll be damned if I let you come betweenst us!" He yelled.

"Enough! Both of you. We're not getting into a tug-of-war over this. Understood?" Kiri suddenly said. "Call it Fujasaki's legacy but this computer may well be our best chance to escape. It belongs to everyone so for now on, no one is allowed in here without permission." My heart sank a little. But I was more focused on Hiding staring Ishida down. Suddenly the anger building disappeared.

"Whatever....." I chimed in. I went back into the sauna and got dressed, then quickly left the bathhouse.

"Ishimaru? You alright?" Mondo asked.

"Y-yeah....I'm....I'm fine." I said. I went back to my room. I locked the door and stayed in there for the rest of the day. I didn't want to see another soul if I didn't have to. I even slept in again the next morning. Even still, I was barely awake when there was a knock on my door. I unlocked it and slowly opened it. On the other side was Kirigiri. She handed me a note and quickly left. Confused, I read the note. Needed in the bathhouse. Please hurry.

"What's that about?" Mondo asked.

"I....don't know...." I said. I made my way to bathhouse anyways. Most of everyone was already there. Everyone except Yasuhiro and Makoto. Before anything was said, I noticed it right away. The locker that Alter Ego's computer was in, was open. And the computer wasn't inside.
