Like Before (a pregame saiouma story)

Part 2

*third person*

Kokichi and Shuichi walked down to the gym in silence. The situation was to awkward for either of them to muster any words. By the time they got there most of the students were there, but not all. They could clearly see Monokuma in the center of the room, waddling over to his podium.

When everyone finally got to the gym Monokuma started.

"So as you all should know, you all are here for a certain reason. To try and win the killing game. But the question you might all be asking is, what is he talking about. Everyone is alive still. I wanted to make it so you guys get a choice. When someone is killed there will be a class trial. Everyone will participate in the trial to determine-

"Can you please get to the point!"

"Yeah, hurry up already!"

Everyone was clearly impatient.

"Ugh, what I was going to say was. You all have the choice of giving one of your fellow classmates back their memories. This could change that person entirely; never the same again. This could help you all in a great deal with getting through trials."

Silence suddenly filled the room.

"So, make your decision. Who will you permanently change. Who's life will you ruin."

The classmates started to chatter amongst themselves. But suddenly,

"It should be Kokichi, give him back his memories!"

"What, why would you ever do such a thing to me!"

Kokichi's attempt to make Maki feel any pity failed.

"There is no way you could contribute to any trial in any form. You barely tell the truth, nobody would believe you anyway."

"And besides, it wouldn't be as big of difference of you changed compared to anyone else Kokichi."

Kokichi suddenly turned towards Monokuma.

"Are you going to let them gang up on me like that!"

"Hmm, yeah kinda."

Kokichi didn't want to admit that he felt a small pit grow in the bottom of his stomach. But he knew he couldn't let anybody find out.

"Wah, how dare you all betray the Ultimate Supreme Leader like this! You will all pay immensely!"

"Well, that was a fast conclusion. I guess you all already made your enemies. Whatever, there's a better possibility of you all killing each other. But sadly, you shall all have to wait for Kokichi's transformation."

*******

It had been awhile and everyone was going back to there dorms. But not Kokichi, he was stalling. He wasn't in any particular rush.

"Kokichi, are you alright?"

He looks up to see Shuichi.

"Saihara Chan? Aw, did you really come all this way to find me."

Shuichi walks over to him.

"Eh, somewhat. I saw you while going back to my dorm. I just wanted to talk to you about what happened today."

Kokichi couldn't understand why Saihara cared enough about him to openly want to talk to him.

"I just thought you might of been upset about what happened. I mean, you didn't really get a say in what happened. Aren't you concerned, there's clearly things we shouldn't remember."

"Me, the Ultimate Supreme Leader, concerned. You clearly have never seen me before Saihara. I'm just pissed off at Maki and Himiko. What the hell did I ever do to them! They both deserve to get their memories back and suffer in hell!"
