(Ouma x Saihara) Not The End

(Happy Late Birthday Gift to @Just_Chara_!)

Saihara ran for his life trying to get to the hangar.

He had to stop Maki. Adrenaline ran through his veins as everything which had confused him about his boyfriend's latest behavior and his identity as the Mastermind of the killing game started to make sense.

It was a lie.

Kokichi wasn't the mastermind

From what he could recollect Kokichi chose to reveal himself as the leader of a cult hellbent on stopping the Gofer Project and was revealed as a Remnant of Despair by the Flashback Light. But whenever he heard it, a part of his brain was always telling him it was false. Kokichi was genuine he was sure of it, even if it wasn't based on logic or facts. So he decided to peek into Kokichi's room (pick locking was a better word but Shuichi didn't want to admit it) hoping to talk with him. Or at the very least ask him if his love towards him was true.

Instead, he discovered massive amounts of evidence from the previous murder cases, including...

Kokichi's motive video.

His curiosity pulled at him until he watched it discovering the organization wasn't the cult that brought despair on the world but ten harmless pranksters from an organization called DICE. He knew about Maki's plan and even if Kokichi turned out to be the mastermind, he needed to know the truth before Maki killed him.

As he ran, the pieces of the puzzle slowly began to fall into place. His plan...it was only a possibility but if he was right, Kokichi was innocent and he prayed to Atua and hoped he was right. By the point he was there, he was breathing heavily. He gasped at the sight of Maki towering over Kokichi, crossbow in her hand pointed at his head. Shuichi glanced around nervously before noticing it.

The remote to the exisals lying on the floor.

Shuichi grabbed the remote and took advantage of the fact none of them had noticed him yet. He commanded the Exisal to move forward, surprising Maki as the metallic arm of the Exisal grabbed her the same way it did Kaito when Kokichi first revealed 'he was the mastermind'. She dropped the crossbow losing her grip on the weapon, it landing on the floor as she stayed suspended in the air.

"Shuichi what the hell are you doing?!" Maki yelled struggling. Shuichi's hand shook. He wasn't sure either what he was doing. Kokichi slowly stood up from the floor, looking in pain. Then again, he was just hit with a poisoned arrow.

"Saihara-chan...?" Kokichi stared wide-eyed still clearly confused. Tears built up in Shuichi's eyes as he heard the purple head speak his name.

"K-Kokichi's... n-not the m-mastermind..." Shuichi stuttered, breaking down. He wanted to be right about this but...was the motive video enough?

"What?! Yes, he is! He admitted it and controlled the Exisal! WE EVEN GOT A FLASHBACK LIGHT! GET HIM!" Maki yelled, trying to wriggle her way out of the restraint.

"N-No! H-He's not!" Shuichi yelled, pulling out the motive video "The motive video in his room...he didn't lead the remnants of despair! He ruled D.I.C.E!" he said. Kokichi flinched at the mention of the organization's name. Maki scoffed.

"He could've fabricated that himself to make US believe he was normal!" Maki yelled back before sighing "Shuichi I know you want to believe he loved you but he was just ly-NGH!" Maki let out a hiss of pain as the metallic arm wrapped harder against her waist.

"NO! SHUT UP!" Shuichi yelled. Kokichi wasn't even able to look at him. He just stared at the floor. Shuichi rubbed his eyes of tears. Then he felt his fingers brush against something in the back of the remote. He glanced looking at the back.
