Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc: K.I.P

Chapter 3: Headache Trauma (Part 8)

"Mondo?!" I said on instinct. Mondo poked his head in through the door.

"You'll go through. Try it." He smiled and pulled his head back through.

I gave a quick glance to myself on the ground before going to the door. I shivered severely as I fazed through the door. Like.. It wasn't there. It still didn't set right with me but I brushed it off. The equipment room lead to the art room. Filled with paintings and statutes. 

"Where....is everyone?" I asked.

"Most of the dead have been following certain people. Sayaka follows Naegi, and Leon follows Yasuhiro... For some reason. Chihiro usually just stays in his room." Mondo said as he left the art room. I followed close behind, fazing through the door and shivering again. Then something ran through my mind.

"Is Celeste going to be caught?" I asked myself.

"She damn well better be caught. Her motive is sickening. " Mondo answered.

"You were there?" I asked. The reveal of the motive was before the whole "Ishida" fiasco.

"Yeah but I... Didn't say anything.... You seemed really fucked up after what happened......." He said. I heard the uneasiness in his voice.

"Watch your profanity." I said on instinct.

"Says the guy who just called Celeste a bitch not five minutes ago" Mondo said and laughed.

"..yeah you're right" I said smiling slightly.

We went downstairs and found everyone in the cafeteria.... Mostly everyone. Sayaka was standing next to Makoto. I assumed Chihiro was in his room. But... Yasuhiro and Leon weren't there. I saw my empty chair and my heart nearly sank. They aren't going to know.... They aren't going to know until someone finds the equipment room. I also saw Celeste. She was so nonchalantly sitting in here chair... As if nothing happened. Hifumi was... Oddly close to her but I brushed it off.

"Where's......." I began.

"Hey where's Leon and Yasuhiro?" Mondo asked. I noticed something else.

"And Kirigiri.... She isn't here either." I said. I heard that those who were alive were discussing that very thing.

"I just saw her last night. Where could she have gone?" Makoto said.

"What if we have a search party?" Asahina said. "We can each take a floor."

"That could work. Makoto can take the first floor, Asahina and Sakura may take the second, then Hifumi and I have the third" Celeste said. I cringed on the inside.

"That works! Come on Sakura!" Asahina said as she ran out. Sakura slowly followed behind her. Makoto looked more worried as he left. Celeste and Hifumi left giving each other a weird look.

"...you seen that?" Mondo asked after they left.

"That look Celeste and Hifumi gave each other? Yes. What was that about?" I answered.

".....they're planning something. Come on." Mondo said, taking me by the hand and nearly dragging me out of the cafeteria. Even as a ghost I still got that butterfly feeling. It was less intense however. We followed Celeste and Hifumi who suddenly split up at the stairs case.

"You know what to do..." Celeste whispered to Hifumi.

"Yes, Lady Celestia. I wish you the best of luck" Hifumi said. He darted, as fast as he could to the library while Celeste went upstairs.

"What the hell...." Mondo muttered and then dragged me upstairs. Celeste did go to the third floor, but she immediately went to the rec room. She looked around and took a small hammer out of her coat sleeve.

"How the hell?" Mondo asked. I realized we could be as loud as we wanted. No one alive could hear us.

Celeste dropped the hammer on the ground. She loosened one of her twin drills and smudged her makeup slightly... Then she screamed. She screamed loudly. Mondo and I covered our ears because it was so loud. Celeste suddenly fell to the ground in a very dramatic fashion.

"..... Shes creating a set up" I suddenly said.

"Dammit. Shes making it look like someone else is the killer." Mondo said. We soon heard a bunch of footsteps coming closer. Makoto, Asahina, and Sakura.

"Celeste?!" Asahina asked as she quickly entered the rec room.

"Celeste what happen?" Makoto asked.

Celeste held her head as she slowly rose. "It was so fast...... I was attacked..." She said. A part of me screamed at her for lying. Mondo suddenly grabbed my by the hand again and dragged me away.

"Mondo? Mondo where are we going?" I asked. I caught a glance at the look on his face. He looked furious.
