~Y/n pov~

I'd been hanging out with Kokichi and Miu, I quite enjoyed their company.

The time limit was nearing.

Truth be told, I was considering killing myself, that way Kokichi and Miu would survive, but that means the killing game might start.

...I've made up my mind.

~*~

Walking into the kitchen, the only person there was Kirumi... I could stealthily grab a knife, she'd probably notice though.

I could make up a lie..but it wouldn't be very believable.

I guess it doesn't matter if the lie isn't believable as long as I have enough time to end it.

Grabbing the knife, I turned and saw Kirumi staring right at me.

She raised an eyebrow, "What are you planning?"

"Ah...a prank."

~*~

I internally cursed myself, why did I lie badly on purpose? She's surely knew it was a lie from the start.

It must be I was so scared of dying I lied badly on purpose in hopes that someone would stop me.

I locked my doom's door and a click resounded through my room.

My chest rose and fell as I took deep breaths.

A glint of life hit the knife as I lifted it up.

Click!

Huh?

A blur of purple came whizzing in and knocked me too the ground, the knife was whacked out of my hand and flew across the room.

No words were exchanged.

Kokichi wrapped his arms around me tightly, burying his face in my stomach.

I felt my dress becoming damp.

Silently, I cupped his face and pulled it up to face mine.

Tears silently fell from his eyes.

My eyes widened, shocked by the glassy eyes staring back at me.

"You're an idiot! You better not die!" Kokichi frowned, hugging me tighter, "Don't leave me.."

"Kokichi.." I looked away in shame, "I'm sorry."

"What were you thinking?"

"If I died, you wouldn't have to."

He sat up, wiping his tears and standing up.

Kokichi held his hand out for me to grab and I took it.

"So..how did you..." I sighed, "Nevermind I know...I was so scared that I lied badly in hopes Kirumi would stop me...but she told you right? She probably thought I was gonna kill someone though."

Kokichi nodded, "Kirumi told me she was worried because she saw you take a knife and lie badly...I expected more of the ultimate liar! Nishishi~"

He was quick to mask his sadness.

Our conversation was cut short as the monitor turned on and this loud video started playing.

"What horrible music..."

~*~

*ding dong bing bong*

"A body has been discovered! Everyone, please gather in the library!"

Me and Kokichi turned to each other, wide eyed.

So someone was killed within the time limit.

~*~

There it was, Rantaro's dead body. Someone had killed him.

Around his head was a small pool of blood and a few meters away, was undoubtedly the murder weapon.

A bloody shot put ball. I never imagined someone would actually kill someone else.

Then it hit me, this situation we are in....I can't trust anyone..I should put up my mask and stay away.

A warm hand grasped mine and a voice whispered, "It's okay! I'm here."

I squeezed Kokichi's hand. Maybe there is one person I can trust...

"Ta-dah! The Monokuma file!" Monokuma distributed these so called Monokuma files.

It had information like the wound and murder weapon.

Rantaro is really gone.

A/n this is the easiest way to do the investigation for me, I know the class trials took a while but did not end up getting split. I tried to keep the best parts in though.
