Uh... so I don't really know how the "Gothic Lifestyle" is, so I did minor research. I'm sorry if this isn't exactly what you were expecting.

Please forgive me!

This will also have an interactive class trial. YOU have to vote for the culprit. Now, it's majority rules, but there are major clues in this, so you'll be able to guess it quite easily if you're observant.

Your answer determines the next chapter/part.

Are you going to make it through another class trial, or are all of you going to make the despairingly wrong choice? The fate is yours.

Vote at the bottom A/N!

Y/N's POV

I sat in my cottage, staring blankly at the wall.

'I don't care about this life or another's.'

Banging my head against the wall, I looked over to my shelf that was decorated with little Monokuma plushies wearing different outfits, some being subtle while others made me slightly disgusted.

Sighing to myself, realizing that my life was on the line, I promptly headed over to my make-up desk, staring at the mirror.

Black-winged eyeliner was clearly visible, and small dashes of metallic black eyeshadow covered my eyelids.

Dark red lipstick was worn on my lips, but I didn't smile at my reflection.

'Kill.'

My inner demons held a grasp of me. I chuckled slightly despite my hate for myself and others.

'I'm into punk, after all... Too bad Leon had to die before we could start our band together.'

I took my mask off of the counter, wrapping it around my face so that it covered my mouth.

[Funny how the pic I looked for had Junko Enoshima in it]

'No one needs to know my identity after all.'

I sported a black T-Shirt that only reached as far as the stop of my stomach. White letters writing in font said: "Killer".

I also wore black ripped skinny jeans, making sure to have fishnet tights underneath.

My shiny black combat boots were next to the bed.

Despite my "gothic" look, I looked at my socks to see unicorns and rainbows as the design.

"You'll never grow up, will you, Y/N?" I whispered to myself.

My eyes glanced over to the clock on the wall, the numbers to blurry to make out without squinting my eyes.

7:29 AM

"SHIT! I HAVE TO BE THERE FOR BREAKFAST!" I yelled to myself, slipping my combat boots on and tumbling out the door like a maniac.

I completely did an entire roll before landing on my behind. I grumbled to myself, picking up my belongings.

"What the actual fuck is my luck today?" I spat to no one in particular.

I was snapped out of my shock once I heard a deeper voice ring out.

"It seems that the nearly insane boy could help you in that field. After all, he seems to possess more luck than the high and mighty God Tyches himself."

My eyes darted upwards to be met with cold heterochromatic ones. One pupil being red while the other was a hazy shade of gray. A gray lightning bolt ran down his left side where his gray one was.

"Ugh." I growled. "Another mere human."

I saw him raise an eyebrow, scoffing a bit and really letting his pride inflate.

"Well, the same could go for the likes of you. Unlike me, you lack capabilities that go far beyond your inadequate knowledge." It was as if he was superior compared to me. At least, that's what he was acting like right now anyways.

"Oh, Mr. Swirly-Shop-Ice-Cream for hair, don't you have the most beautiful vocabulary? Write me a poem while you're at it." I snarked sarcastically.

He seemed dumbfounded for a while before asking me once again. "What's your talent? You seem to be riddled with ghosts considering you're wearing black and welcoming them into your dwelling with open arms."

Getting onto my knees and standing up, I replied nonchalantly. "Y/N L/N, Ultimate Parapsychologist. You?"

"Wha-?" He stood there, a confused look on his face.

"I study the supernatural." I summed up. "I can sense that you're the Ultimate Breeder, no?"

"It seems so." He said, regaining his previous composure. "I'm Gundham Tanaka. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"Very well as I." I said, copying his 'formal' speech.

Just as our hands were about to touch and shake, I heard an announcement over the loud-speaker.

"BING BOM POM POM! A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED, MOTHERFUCKERS!"

"Mother..." I started.

"Fuckers..?" Gundham finished.

"Well..." I stared down at my hand, my face slightly paler than before. "We should start investigating. Whoever did it must have a motive of some sort."

"Yes, we must hurry to reach the others. I'm sure they've already started investigating the scene of the crime."

'I'm just wondering now.... who died?'

Just as we were about to head over to try and locate the body, we saw Hiyoko emerge from her cottage.

Her eyes were drooping as if she was sleeping.

"Hmm?" She hummed, seeing both of us. "Ugh, what is it now you pigs?!" She growled, walking towards us.

Her orange kimono had white flowers with green in the middle, and her hair was tied up in her usual pigtails as always. Everything was put together with her light orange sash tied around her waist.

"There was a body discovery announcement." I stated, rolling my eyes at the girl.

"We need to hurry to find out who the first victim was."

"Hm?"

All three of us turned around to see Ibuki coming out of her cottage, doing her hair.

"Good morning!" She grinned.

We all nodded, and Ibuki started heading over to us. "Ibuki heard the announcement."

"Oh? It's about time one of you pigs died." Hiyoko giggled darkly.

"Hey, we need to start going!" I scolded, fed up with her demonic attitude.

"Fine fine~" She replied. "Let's get going to find the corpse!"

Hiyoko groaned rather loudly, and we quickly followed behind her to the direction of the beach house.

-Time Skip-

Y/N's POV

"Gundham, look..." I mumbled, picking up the wrench off of the floor. "It's Soda's."

"Let me take a look." He took the blood-coated wrench from me, and I quickly searched Soda to find the cause of death.

"Mikan. Autopsy report."

Mikan quietly nodded and tapped her fingers together. "W-Well... H-He died just an hour ago... and the main cause w-was th-that wrench to his h-h-head..." She mumbled, a nervous look on her face.

I touched Soda's hair which was also stained with blood, and low and behold, I saw the indention on his head.

"How many times did they hit him?" I asked, examining the wound.

"F-Fourteen times..."

I nodded, and quickly grabbed the wrench from Gundham, holding it next to Soda's head.

'Perfect match...'

"I think he was killed last night..." Akane said. "I mean, I'm pretty sure that's when it happened. Who'd wake up so early just to kill someone?"

"That's wrong..." I mumbled. "According to the Monokuma files, it said he died at precisely 6:22 AM this morning."

"Oh? I guess that's true then if Monokuma said it." She chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of her head.

Gundham only rolled his eyes.

"Anyways, let's look for more clues." Hajime suggested. "We'll have more evidence when the first class trial rolls around.

"Gundham, can you come with me? You're the only one who I know on this island..." I smiled nervously.

"Hm? Why not? You camouflage in the dark, so why don't you try wearing brighter clothes?"

I let out a sigh of annoyance and grabbed his wrist, dragging him along behind me.

-Class Trial-

Y/N's POV

"Ibuki remembers seeing someone come out of their cottage early in the morning." Ibuki stated.

"Hmm?" I asked. "Who exactly?"

"Ibuki couldn't catch a glimpse. Sorry."

I nodded in understanding.

"Well, I guess there aren't anymore clues." Akane said. "I'm guessin' the killer's Hiyoko."

"Eh?" Hiyoko grinned, her expression darkening. "You could be guilty too, you know. Everyone's a suspect."

I looked over to Gundham who was deep in thought. "It seems like that is the case, but one of us standing in this room is the culprit who murdered the human in cold blood."

"That wrench... Was... it really the murder weapon?" I asked, glancing over to Mikan who jumped up in surprise.

"E-Eek!" She squealed, scared of my dark expression. "I-I promise! Th-Though it might be flawed, that's the only thing I-I could come u-up with..!" She shielded herself with her arms.

I looked at her for a few more seconds before digging into my jean pockets, pulling out a torn piece of white cloth which was stained with pink blood.

"It seems like he was suffocated before he died. This might've been tied around his neck in order to kill him, but it failed which made the blackened resort to bludgeoning him." I concluded, looking over to Hinata for approval.

He nodded, and gave me a smile. "Good find, Y/N. I also found something weird in particular." He held out a folded piece of paper, a bit of neon pink blood dried at the corner.

"What's that?" Nekomaru asked. "Is it toilet paper? I've been needing that lately."

Everyone stared at him, a sweat drop forming on their foreheads.

"No, I think it's a note." Sonia said.

"Correct." Hajime confirmed. "It was anonymously mailed to me, and to me only."

"What does it say?" Teruteru asked.

Hinata unfolded the note, and started to speak. "I'll give you the gist of it."

We all nodded and urged him to start.

"Well, it basically says that they murdered someone, and the victim was in the beach house. There's more, but it's nothing we don't know. I waited a while before going there though. I had to gather two more people to come and discover it with me."

"That totally helped." Togami said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"Anyways..." Hinata continued. "I found a strand of red hair near the crime scene, and the only person with red hair is Mahiru."

All eyes turned towards the red-head, her eyes wide with shock. "Y-You really don't think it's me... DO YOU?!" She screamed.

"Such a hopeful expression turned cold." Nagito shook his head. "You must really be full of despair."

"I-I was one of the people who found the body! I was with Hajime and Akane when we saw the body!" She stuttered. "I mean, the body discovery announcement comes on when three or more people discover the body, right?"

"That's just a pathetic fucking excuse." Fuyuhiko cursed.

"Very well. It seems like Fuyuhiko is correct. That is not a reason to prove your innocence because Monokuma changes the rules for each trial." Peko said.

"Guys, we're not going anywhere with this." I interrupted, hoping to get back on track. "Let's say Mahiru is innocent. What would her motive against Kazuichi be?"

Everyone pondered.

"We'll leave her be right now, but she'll be a prime suspect." Hajime said unsurely. "Maybe the red hair was a set-up?"

"WHAT?!" Hiyoko interjected. "You're telling me someone set up Big Sis' Mahiru?!" She wailed and ran over to cling onto her, tears running down her face. "SHE'S INNOCENT!"

'That makes Mahiru seem more suspicious...'

"I mean..." Hiyoko started, her eyes still teary. "The note told Hajime to find the body, but don't you think it's suspicious that he waited before going?"

"You're saying..." Akane started. "That he set up that trap and mailed it to himself to make himself look innocent?"

"I-It does seem suspicious though..." Mikan agreed.

"I mean, the person probably woke up early to murder Kazuichi, and the only one who wakes up so early was Hajime since he said he would explore the island."  Mahiru said approvingly.

Hinata's eyes filled with worry. "G-Guys..? You seriously don't believe me?"

Akane slammed her hands on the stand. "You're the only one! You don't have an alibi, do you? Plus, you got that note, and you said no one else got it. How could you know that no one else got it unless you wrote the note?"

"My my..." Nagito tsked. "You shouldn't suspect your classmates so soon. That's the opposite of hope. Why don't you go back to your clues before accusing someone with such little evidence?"

"Y/N..." Chiaki started. "I realized that you're wearing black.... and usually... black clothes don't get stained by blood easily. It can get stained, but it's quite difficult to see."

All eyes turned on me.

'Wh-What?! I'm not the culprit!'

"Come to think of it..." Hiyoko started. "You have a stain right there... on your shirt..."

I looked down, and sure enough, there was a stain on my short shirt. It looked like...

'A blood stain..?'

"Wh-What?!" I practically yelled. "I just randomly picked this up out of my wardrobe! Someone must've came into my room last night and poured the blood on my clothes to frame me..!"

"Nice excuse." Mahiru said, crossing her arms.

"We can see through your lies. Your cottage door was locked this morning. I tried calling you up early today, but your door was locked." Akane said.

"Wh-Why won't you guys believe me..?" I asked. "Is it because... I'm different..?"

Gundham quickly shot his eyes over to me, pulling his scarf down lower and lower. "You're not different. You're still a human like the rest of them. Look at the evidence on the table. Don't you have anything to counter it with?"

My eyebrows furrowed, and I stared up at him.

"Don't you trust me..?" I said, my cries strained.

"Of course I do, but make them trust you. Not me." He said, a small smile on his face.

I nodded, regaining my cool with a couple of long and relaxing breaths.

'There must be something... Something that could prove who the killer is...'

I rewinded everything back in my head, and played it back in order.

"The killer! I know who it is!" I exclaimed, bringing my hands down on the stand in front of me.

Everyone was completely surprised by my outburst, but they still listened intently.

"They said something before that completely flew over our heads. Allow me to introduce you to this new piece of evidence." I said with a smirk.

{WHO'S THE BLACKENED? COMMENT HERE!}

Start with your guessing! Who do you think killed Soda? The clues are quite obvious if you're very observant. Sometimes, the quiet ones are also suspects. No one's safe. You'll determine the next chapter. Good luck, Y/N, the Ultimate Parapsychologist.
