[ DISCONTINUED ] TRIGGER HAPPY HAVOC: "Afterlife"

PART 1: "The Beginning"

[REALITY]
[KIYOTAKA'S P.O.V]

The environment around me seemed so tense.. Like, I didn't know what to do other than stand in shock. Chihiro's body was right there... Hanging from all the tangled wires in the Boys Locker room.. 'Jeez, I didn't know it could get any worse.' Chihiro was really close to me.. How could someone do this?! I could feel my vision getting blurry from all the tears in my eyes, everyone else seemed to have a similar reaction to me. Other than Byakuya, of course.. I dont get what's wrong with him, he seems to have no emotion all the time. Same with Kyoko.. I don't understand people sometimes. I dont *want* to understand people. That'd just make reality harder... Or, so I'm guessing.

[3RD PERSON]

Everyone in the room was frozen in place. Some crying, some filled with shock, and around two people with no emotion at all. Thaat was, of course, Kyoko Kirigiri and Byakuya Togami themselves. One person broke the silence, quickly yelling out loud, “W-Why?! WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THIS TO POOR CHIHIRO! SHE WAS SO INNOCENT!”

The voice sounded emotional.. And that voice belonged to Aoi. Aoi Asahina, the ultimate Swimming Pro. The brunette was crying her eyes out, Sakura Ogami there comforting her. A few people looked over to her, feeling quite bad, before looking back at the body.

“I suppose we should get to investigating. Hurry up, we don't have all day.” Byakuya said, also speaking up. He quickly looked around at the crime scene, Kyoko soon joining in after. Makoto was standing still, watching the two. Many of the students left the room, hoping to find other evidence outside the room. Kiyotaka went to Mondo, hugging him tight.
“How could this happen.. At least you're safe, right bro?.. " He laughed a little, Mondo joining in too, sounding a bit more nervous that usual.

[OWADA'S P.O.V]

Shit.. I'm so confused.. That wasn't where I last saw the body, how could it have possibly moved?! Taka's comfort makes me feel so fuckin' bad.. No, stop that. Man up, god dammit. That damn bear can't do anything to me, I can survive this, right? I can survive.. With Taka, Makoto, Kyoko and.. Tsk, just forget it.. Im a horrible person..! I CANT ANYMORE, I CANT HANDLE THIS! THIS IS ALL MY DAMN FAULT!

“T-Taka.. Bro..” I muttered slightly. He was hugging me a bit *too* tight.. But him being there for me just makes me feel so much better.. I started crying slightly, too, kneeling down a little and hugging him back. This was one of the best feelings I'd ever felt. Not that I'm not always feeling this good with my best bro around, but I'm feeling way better when he's right there.. Hugging me in person. Its like my whole world has suddenly lit up. I love that feeling.

I couldn't breathe for a millisecond, I pushed Taka back gently. “Too tight, bro.” I laughed, him too laughing with me. His laugh was so adorable.. I don't know what this weird feeling is but I like it.

[AFTERLIFE]
[FUJISAKI'S P.O.V]

I quickly woke up, gasping slightly. 'Didn't I.. Die? But how am I here?.. Where am I?..' I looked around, recognising my surroundings. It was my dorm room, like the one in Hopes Peak, but it seemed happy. Enlightening. The door was nearby, so I simply got up and walked towards it, opening it slightly. And that's when I saw it..

It was Leon.. And Sayaka, too! I thought they died, how could they also be here?!
“L-Leon?.. Sayaka?..” Those were the only words I managed to get out after opening the door fully, before not being able to breathe after Leon rushed up to me and hugged me.

[NOBODY'S P.O.V]

Leon started laughing. “Yo, Chihiro, you're okay! What's up?”
Chihiro just stood there in confusion. “Where am I?.. I mean, Where are *we*? Didn't all three of us die?.. How are we alive?!”

Leon sighed, patting Chihiro's back. “We are dead, you dumbass! I'm pretty sure this place is like.. Heaven or something. We get put here after we die!” Chihiro seemed.. Scared. But happy. He was glad he could see his dead friends again, but.. He wanted to see his *alive* friends. He missed them.. A lot.. Sayaka got up from the floor after being sat down on it, and smiled sweetly at Chihiro. “I'm glad I could see you again, I really miss everyone in the 'alive' world. At least there's someone else I could spend time with, Leon gets really annoying!” She laughed, Leon looking slightly offended.

“H-HEY! That's uncool!” He spat at the blue-haired girl. Chihiro just sighed and decided to sit down and talk to the others for a while, telling them everything that was going on, and what happened while they were gone.

Junko [Mukuro] was standing in a dark corner, watching everyone. She didn't want to talk quite yet, not after what she did..

[REALITY]
[NOBODY'S P.O.V]

A couple hours went by, and it was getting close to the trial. Everyone seemed really scared, which was understandable. They wanted this all to be over. Every single one of them. But that wasn't going to happen anytime soon..
A sudden announcement played on the monitors, alerting all students in the building. Monokuma, of course, popped up onto the screen, laughing and waving.

“Upupupu!~ Hello students of Hopes Peak, it is I, your headmaster, Monokuma! Its time for the one, the only.. Class trial!~”

He started laughing more, making everyone feel afraid, angry and upset at the same time. It was a horrible feeling.

“Now, quickly! Get into the elevator to head to the trial room!~ I'm wishing you all the best of luck! Upupu!”

Everyone had started making their way to the elevator, almost in tears. They hated this time.. They didn't want to do this.. They wanted to leave..

[NAEGI'S P.O.V]

As I got into the elevator, the mood suddenly dropped as if all the rays of hope had just shut out. 'No.. We had to keep hope. For my sake, FOR EVERYONES SAKE!' I looked around quickly, seeing the feared looks on everyone's faces. Mondo, Hifumi, Taka, Celeste, Sakura, Aoi, Toko, Yasuhiro, Kyoko, Togami.. I have to keep hope so everyone else survives this killing game!

The elevator started lowering as everyone got in, I was shaking slightly, but that's okay. Everyone gets scared at times, right? This was one of those times where you can't help but be scared.. What if I can't help everyone? What if we vote wrong? That's something that keeps repeating over and over, I couldn't help but almost cry. I felt as if I was going to pass out.. But then we made it, and we slowly walked into the room.
