"Syrup is still syrup in a Sippy Cup..."

[Melanie Martinez]

Y/N's POV

I pointed my finger accusingly towards the Ultimate Musician, a smirk playing on my face. "Ibuki, you said you would woke up early today and saw someone walk outside. Why didn't you head towards the restaurant?"

She stood there for a moment, a perplexed look on her face. "Hm? Ibuki fell back asleep after that... Ibuki didn't get much rest last night."

"Ahah!" Hajime shouted. "So you were out last night? Doing what, exactly?"

Sweat poured down the sides of her face, her eyebrows furrowing from frustration. "Y-You guys don't think Ibuki did it, did you?" She mumbled, her eyes getting glossy. "Ibuki heard a noise in the morning that woke her up, and-"

"Ibuki, there's no one other than you!" Akane growled, scratching her head.

"Huh? So it was her?" Hiyoko asked, her facial expressions darkening.

"W-Wait! Let Ibuki explain!" Ibuki pleaded. Her eyes were filled with worry.

"Y-You have no way to p-pr-prove your i-innocence." Mikan quietly said, tapping her fingers together. "

"H-Huh..?" Ibuki whimpered slightly, her confidence starting to shatter. "B-But..."

"Why were you up so early anyways, mortal?" Gundham asked, his eyes glancing over to the girl.

"Monokuma... he woke Ibuki.... for an odd reason..." She said quietly while staring down at her shoes.

"What was the reason?" Nagito asked.

"I-Ibuki... doesn't know..."

"Again with dodging the question." Togami scoffed, crossing his arms.

"Maybe she was to be framed?" Sonia asked.

Everyone turned towards the stand were Soda was supposed to be. A pink 'X' made with a screwdriver and wrench crossed over his eternally smiling face.

"It's unlikely." Mahiru stated.

At this point, Ibuki was a blubbering mess, her knees already dropped onto the floor. "Ibuki isn't guilty.... Everyone has to believe Ibuki..." She cried softly.

"We can't.... until you give us some proof..." Chiaki said, sympathy etched into her words.

"The blood... on Y/N's shirt..? What about that?" Ibuki asked, still mumbling through her waterworks.

"I must've gotten some of Soda's blood on me when I inspected his head. I did press him against my stomach though..." I explained simply, trying to break through Ibuki's walls. "Now, Ibuki."

She stared up at me, no hope present in her eyes.

"Who did you see in the morning?"

I didn't know if I was seeing things, but I saw her shoulders tense up and her face freeze along with all crying. Soon, her lips began to move. "Ibuki said Ibuki couldn't ca-"

"Don't give her that, mortal." Gundham interrupted. "You know full well who you saw. There's no point in keeping an accomplice a secret."

"Ibuki... saw Hajime..." She said out quietly.

Hinata tensed a bit before starting his explanation. "I was going out to explore the island. I probably walked out of the cottage the same time you woke up from Monokuma, Ibuki."

"Is it possible that... Ibuki went out to take a shit?" Nekomaru suggested.

"No, that isn't logical at all." Chiaki intervened. "Ibuki, what were you going the night before?"

"I-Ibuki was...." Her face looked downtrodden, and her head violently shook. "Ibuki can't tell you!"

"Ugh! THAT'S IT! WE HAVE TO VOTE RIGHT NOW! WE HAVE OUR CULPRIT!" Hiyoko screamed, still clutched onto Mahiru.

"W-Wait, mortal!" Gundham said cautiously.

"IT'S VOTING TIME!" Monokuma screeched, laughing in fits.

"G-G-Guys! Ibuki swears! I-I-Ibuki didn't d-do it!" She cried, begging with us.

I bit my lip and scrolled onto Ibuki's avatar and clicked.

The little panels rolled, and all three of them landed on Ibuki's face, but all of us were mortified when we saw the bottom slide print out clearly.

'INCORRECT'.

Everyone's face paled except for one who's face was clearly overjoyed.

'Hiyoko's...'

"HAHA, YES!" She shrieked, letting go of Mahiru. "YOU PIGS ARE SO DUMB!"

"Wh-What..?" I asked shocked at the results.

Ibuki slowly stood up, her eyes red from tears. "Ibuki told you... it wasn't her..."

"Oh.... may the Lords pray for us all..." Gundham mumbled.

Tears streamed down my face as I felt the male wrap his arms around me, pulling my body to his chest. "W-We're going to die... Gundham..."

He looked down at me, a soft smile on his face despite the outcome of events. "It's okay, mortal. We're going down together, at least..."

I nodded, but I looked back to Hiyoko. "Wh-Where was the flaw...?" I asked.

"Replay it in that empty head of yours, and maybe your pea-sized shit of a brain can find out." The dancer snarked, her dark aura surrounding her.

-Play Back-

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?"

***

"Teehee~" Hiyoko giggled. "I can finally leave this dumb island!"

Mahiru stared at the shorter girl, her eyes wide. "H-Hiyoko...? Why..?!" Tears soon fell from her eyes.

"But the clues... Mahiru... Mahiru is proof that you're not the culprit!" Nekomaru exclaimed.

The dancer giggled once again, covering her mouth to prevent her from laughing too much. "Have you ever heard of red herrings? In this case, Mahiru was simply a distraction." [LOL RED. You-You get it..? N-N-No..? Ok... I'll leave...]

A sudden realization crossed my mind. "Your kimono.... why is the sash light orange?"

"Hmm?" She hummed, a sadistic smirk on her face. "I'll let you explain that one for me!"

"But Hiyoko, don't you usually have a white sash?" Sonia asked.

Click.

"That white sash... that's the cloth that was used in an attempt to choke Soda, wasn't it?" I murmured, my head tilted low.

"BINGO!" Monokuma cackled. "Hehehe~ Hahaha~"

"Ibuki..." Chiaki said quietly. "We're sorry... for doubting you..."

Ibuki stood there, her eyes downcast onto the ground. "I-It's okay... Ibuki's fine..."

Nagito had a grim look on his face for once, and obviously, he was quite nervous too.

Everyone.... everyone was downtrodden, especially Gundham.

"Mortal... you realize what this means..?"

I nodded, tears spilling out of my eyes as I clung onto him for support and comfort. His hand rubbed circles on my back, and I could hear his shaky breathing with my ear pressed against his chest.

"IT'S PUNISHMENT TIME~ LET'S START OFF WITH Y/N L/N, THE ULTIMATE PARAPSYCHOLOGIST!"

"H-Huh..?" I mumbled quietly. "Wh-Wh-Why..?"

Before I could utter any more words, a chain snapped around my neck, and I was dragged off to the execution room, everyone following. They knew they were next...

I was dragged onto a bedroom, and I was lying on a bed in complete darkness. Music box music winded in the background, and the room was awfully chilly. The wind rattled the windows, and I knew that this was every child's worse nightmare.

"No..." I mumbled as soon as I heard banging on the door.

"Mummy dearest has a surprise for you...!"

I felt the tears leave my face. "Mom... you're supposed to be dead..."

Slowly, the door creaked open, and I saw a single eyeball peering through the crack. She held up a pale, bony finger up to her thin lips, as if shushing me into silence.

"Good night, sweetheart..."

The door shut, and outside, I heard screams.

Quickly and with no hesitation, I threw the fleece blanket off of my legs, hopping off my bed and running out the door to only see nothing there but pitch black.

"M-Mother..?" I choked out.

Slowly, my bare feet walked across the wooden floor, and I used my hands as a guide through the darkness.

Gundham's POV

I felt myself gulp.

'I'm next...'

I watched Y/N make her way through the darkness, and the cameras had night vision. She would stumble a bit, but so far, this execution wasn't too brutal...

My fists were clenched seeing such a lovely mortal go. I couldn't bring myself... to say that before it was too late....

Y/N's POV

I came across the kitchen, and I saw a bit of it through the dim light outside the window. It was the middle of the night, and the moonlight poured through the window and bounced off of the objects laying in front of me.

My fingers hooked around a piece of cloth which was covering something on the floor. It was soaked in blood.

As soon as the cloth was lifted, I saw feet.

My father's feet.

I recoiled, letting out a scream as I fell back. I assumed the other cloth had another person underneath it, so I quickly struggled to get off of the ground.

"N-No!" I cried, stumbling to work with my two legs.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a knife scraping against the wall. The loud screech rang in my ears, and in a rush, I dashed out of the kitchen, but I barely made it far.

My mother was behind me.

Or what was left of her...

Her ghostly pale face was contorted to a look of sheer anger, and her H/C hair reached the floor. A small grin appeared on her lips.

As she looked up, I saw that she had no pupils... just white.

I let out another scream as she approached me, grabbing my neck and trying to twist it.

"M-Mo-"

"Shhhh...." She cooed. "Mommy loves you, okay? I love you... Y/N... Now... do Mommy a favor, and burn in hell."

I heard a loud snap, and my neck was numb. Black spots clouded my vision, and I collapsed to the ground, sealed with the same fate as my father and the other person.

'Let us talk more in the afterlife, Gundham...'

Blood still stains when the sheets are washed.

Sex don't sleep when the lights are off.

Kids are still depressed when you dress them up.

And syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup...

Ahaa! Angst.... Sorry this took so long. I'll finish the next requests soon! I'm sorry if there are moth holes in this! I'm pretty new at making cases, so I'll be extra careful next time! Thanks for reading!
