Alright, guys. No more bullshit. This fic is picking up steam again, and that's a promise. I recently found the inspiration to write this again, and as such, I shall continue writing it posthaste.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Oh, Hinata-chan. We've heard this a thousand times before, why should we believe you this time? Give us one good reason." And to that, I say...
...why are you being so rude you're really hurting my feelings man
But I also say... You should believe me this time, because...
The next two chapters of this fic are right here!

Chapter 2 It had been an hour or so since that fateful "assembly" that Monokuma had held. Each student had been able to find their rooms, although it was rather easy, considering each room had a nameplate with the name of the intended occupant, along with a little pixelated version of them. Hinata, personally, had thought this was a interesting touch. All of the students were currently standing outside their room, and Hinata was the first to walk inside. Upon entering, several things were of note to him. First off, the windows were completely covered up by metal plates that looked like they were very hastily bolted on. There was also a camera, but there was a camera everywhere, so this didn't bother him as much. As he thought about it, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"Soooooo!" The familiar voice yelled. Hinata jumped up, and then realized that Monokuma was talking to him. "How do you like your new room? I decided to give you the girl's dorm, since you're dressed for the part and all~" Monokuma snicked to himself a bit after he said that.
"It's... uh... nice, I guess. Certainly better than what I was expecting. I was expecting something that looked more akin to a prison cell." Hinata muttered, looking around some more.
"A prison cell? I would never subject my pooooor students to such a heinous living enviornment! Perish the thought!" Monokuma said in an almost sing-songy voice.
"You seemed to have no problems with telling us to murder each other, however..." Hinata said under his breath, sighing.
"Well, that's different! It's DESIGNED to bring you despair! The agony of having to kill your friends! Oh, it's utter torment, isn't it~? I can hear the crying and greiving already~ Music to my tiny ears!" Monokuma laughed loudly after he finished that thought. Hinata grimaced, turning his attention away from the bear. "Anyway~! I'll have to go check on the other students soon! By the way, nighttime is approaching~" The bear said, another little chuckle coming out from him.
"What does that mean?" Hinata asked.
"Oh, you'll find out, no worries. All will be explained once it comes around." And with that, Monokuma opened the door, and walked out of Hinata's room. As the door opened, Hinata could hear Diabolic yelling something.
"Monokuma!!!!" He yelled, whining like a little child. "I keep asking my door nicely to open, but it's being rude!" He continued to whine. Hinata decided to close the door after he heard that, because he feared any further exposure to Diabolic would cause his IQ to decrease. He then stared fully exploring the room. He looked at the bed, the bathroom it offered, complete with a lock on the door, and everything else the room had to offer. Time passed, and eventually, the monitor in Hinata's room came on. Monokuma was there, holding a glass of red wine.
"This is a school announcement." He said, his voice distorted slightly due to the poor quality of the monitor's projection. "It is now 10 PM. Nighttime begins now. This means that, as of this moment, you all need to go to bed. All the water is turned off during nighttime, and nobody is allowed to leave their dorm for any reason. With that said, I hope you all have pleasant dreams. Good night~" And with that, the monitor shut off. Hinata turned to the closet in the room. He hadn't brought any clothes besides the ones he was wearing with him, but he figured he may as well check the closet. He opened it, and found that there wasn't much in there. One change of clothes, which happened to match what he was wearing currently, and a nightgown. He took the nightgown, and changed into it. He then went to the bed, and quickly laid himself underneath the covers, falling asleep soon after.
Chapter 3 The next day soon came, and it was a rude awakening. Instead of waking up gradually, a loud noise came from the monitor, showing that it had been turned on. Hinata immediately jolted up, rubbing his eyes and looking at the monitor.
"Good morning, everyone!" Monokuma said, being too cheery for how early it was. Or, at least, how early Hinata assumed it was. He had no way of actually checking the time. He couldn't see outside. "It is now 7 in the morning! That means it is now daytime! You are free to leave your rooms and do as you please~ Let's all strive to do our best today!" And again, the monitor shut off. Hinata grumbled, but still got out of bed anyway. He only remembered to put his long brown wig back on before stepping out of his room, seeing all the others do the same. The first one who paid him any mind was Yuki, walking over to him, and smirking.
"Nice nightgown. It suits you." She said, pointing her finger at Hinata's attire.
"Oh..." He muttered, not aware he was still wearing the nightgown. "Uh, thanks." He muttered, before turning to walk in a different direction. Yuki followed him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"So!" She said suddenly. "Got any plans for today? Walking around with nothing but a nightgown on, you must have big plans~" She teased.
"No, not really..." Hinata muttered. He looked at the door to the cafeteria, seeing that everyone was moving towards there. He followed suit, and soon everyone was sitting down at a table in the cafe. Everyone was doing something different. Hinata was looking down at his feet, not making eye contact with anyone. Souly was idly tossing her scalpel in the air, making it clear she didn't really have a care in the world at the moment. Diabolic was doing the same thing he did the first day. Smashing his head into the table, which was made of some sort of metal, as if to prove that nothing could hurt him. Mayu was talking with Yuki, clearly unfazed by the fact that her conversation partner is a hardcore sadist. Eventually, Souly spoke up, saying the first thing that popped into her mind.
"If anyone dies, I'm taking their body." She said, still tossing her scalpel in the air. She then stopped, and quickly pointed her scalpel at Diabolic.
"Especially if you die. I want to see what makes you so goddamn resilient." The second he was put 'under the knife', so to speak, he quickly hid behind Mayu, screaming "Protect me, Security Mayu!" as he did so. Mayu turned to look at him.
"What do you want me to protect you from?" She asked, as Diabolic pointed to Souly. "Her! She's scary! 3:" He muttered. Yuki then interjected, looking at Diabolic with the most confused face.
"Did... Let me clarify something. Did you actually just say 'number three, colon' in an attempt to use an emoticon in real life?" Diabolic then nodded as if it was a normal thing for him to do.
"Yup! It's a a cuddly face! :3" He said, conveying his 'cuddly face' through words again.
Yuki stayed silent for a second, before shaking her head and putting her head in her hands. "...I don't even know where to start with you." She muttered, a muffled scream coming from her.
At that point, Monokuma came in again. "Helllllllloooooo, students!" He said, still as cheery as when he gave the daytime announcement. "I see you've found our lovely cafeteria! This place will always be chock full of food and whatever else you need! Don't worry about eating all the food, it'll be restocked regularly~" He said, nodding his head.
"I thought you were trying to bring us despair." Yuki commented. "Why are you giving all these prime living conditions? Dorms with working showers, a cafeteria that has regularly restocking food... Doesn't seem like the kind of place that gives off a 'you're all stuck here against your will, sob sob, cry cry' kind of vibe."
"Just because you guys are gonna kill each other eventually, doesn't mean you can't be livin' the good life while you do it! Upupupu~" Monokuma laughed, before disappearing again.
"I'll never understand that bear..." Yuki muttered.
"I'll have to dissect him one day. Find out what's going on in that fluffy black and white body of his. Maybe I'll find something I can use later." Souly said, an gleam going across both her eyes and her scalpel. As everyone was talking, Hinata picked his head up and started looking around. He noticed there was a person missing from this band of weirdos, and he turned to the others, tilting his head.
"Hey, does anybody know where Ist is?" He asked, continuing to look around. All the other students shrugged. "I haven't seen him." Souly said. The other students said about the same thing.
"Hmmm." After getting confirmation that nobod knew where the boy was, Hinata got up, and went out on a search for him. He searched every room avaliable to them at the moment, before finally stopping at Ist's room. It was unlocked, and the door was open slightly. He walked in, and the sight that greeted him was rather repulsive. He never thought this scenario would actually happen, and certainly not so soon.
There, with a slit throat, blood covering every part of his clothes, was the dead body of Ist.
They're rather short, but hey. It's almost 12 AM. Cut me some slack.

BAM. Chapter 4 already out. HAPPY 2015, EVERYONE.
Spoiler: click to toggle Well, good news is, Hinata had found Ist.
The bad news is he was clearly dead. If he wasn't, he could easily challenge Diabolic in terms of durability. Hinata screamed loudly, and that attracted the attention of others. Everyone quickly rushed to Ist's room, seeing the horrid sight, and having pretty much the same reaction as Hinata. Except for Yuki, who didn't really seem to care, and Souly, who was already formulating a plan to take Ist's body, like she said she would. As the group stared at the dead body in front of them, the monitor flickered on, signalling another announcement from everyone's favorite headmaster.
"Attention, students! Attention, students! A body has been discovered!" Monokuma chirped, too happy about the situation yet again. "There will be a short period of investigation, and then a school trial will be held!" The monitor flickered off, the sound of Monokuma's laughter the last thing that was heard.
"A... School trial?" Mayu asked, looking at the group. "Why would we need to hold a trial?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Yuki said, no fear detectable in her voice. "One of us killed him." She added, looking away from the body due to a lack of interest.
"One of us...?" Mayu asked, stepping back in shock. "W-Why would one of us kill him?"
"In an attempt to get out, I'd assume." Hinata said, kneeling down to look at the body. "Well, you heard our 'headmaster'. This is our time to investigate. Find out what happened." Hinata said, before Monokuma appeared behind the group. There were also several unrecognized students behind the bear.
"Thaaaaaat's right! You guys gotta investigate! You don't want the killer getting off scot-free, do you~? That'd be really sad. Despair-inducing, even!" the bear laughed, and he continued to laugh until one of the unrecognized students cleared their throat. "Oh, right... We got a couple of stragglers here, so I figured they'd introduce themselves. Anyway, you guys get all chummy with each other. I got some stuff to take care of!" And with that Monokuma disappeared. The students then walked up one by one. The first one was a girl with a dark blue sailor fuku on. She had a bit of a weird look in her eyes.
"Hello, everyone." The girl said, bowing respectfully. "My name is Satori 'Gasai' Shinozaki." She said, bringing her head up from her bow and smiling sweetly. "People call me the Super High School Level Yandere." After the girl introduced herself, she left. 'Alright... Note to self, avoid that girl as much as possible.' Hinata thought to himself. Another girl walked up, bowing like the past girl. "Nice to meet you all. My name's Yamamoto Mitsuki, the Super High School Level Secretary." She said. 'Well, she seems nice enough.' Hinata thought. Since this girl actually stayed, Hinata decided to introduce himself. "It's nice to meet you, Mitsuki. My name's Hinata, the Super High School Level Crossdresser." He said.
"That's a weird SHSL title." Mitsuki commented.
'Oh, yeah, because people are gonna be lining up to meet someone who's talent is being a secretary.' Hinata thought. Eventually, Mitsuki left too, and the rest of the group followed suit. As they left, Hinata kneeled in front of Ist's body, trying to inspect it.
--Investigation, Phase 1--
Hinata looked carefully at the body as he was kneeled in front of it, investgating it from every angle. Ist's clothes had been stained a dark pink from his slowly drying blood, and the cut on his throat seemed rather jagged, as if the weapon wasn't a perfect blade. Probably a shard of glass, or something to that extent.
--Glass Murder Weapon? added to evidence--
The only other living person in the room was Mayu, still frozen from the shock of the idea that someone in this school had killed another person. Hinata looked at her, standing up and walking over to her.
"Mayu." Hinata said simply, snapping his fingers in an attempt to bring the girl back to reality. The snapping worked, and Mayu focused on Hinata.
"Oh... Uh, sorry, Hina-tan." Mayu said. "I was a bit... stunned." She said, waving a hand in front of her face dismissively. "Is there something you need me for?" She asked.
"Mm-hmm. I wanted to ask you the usual questions. Where you were last night, what you were doing, et cetera." Hinata said.
"Right. Well, last night, I was in my room like I was supposed to be. I didn't want to find out what would happen if you left your room at nighttime. Knowing Monokuma, it wouldn't be anything pleasant." Mayu said, shrugging and sighing. "As for what I was doing, I was sitting on my bed. I couldn't fall asleep, which isn't really surprising considering the circumsatances we're living in."
"Right. So, what you're saying is that you never left your room the entire night?" Hinata asked for clarification.
"Mm-hmm. I didn't really have a reason to leave, after all."
"Hmm. Alright then, I'll keep that in mind." Hinata said, mentally writing this fact down.
--Mayu's Alibi added to evidence--
Mayu then walked out of the room, having recovered from her shock, and Hinata walked into the bathroom. It was relatively easy to do, considering this door didn't have a lock on it. Perhaps that was one of the features the girl's rooms had that the boy's didn't. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The mirror was intact, there was no blood or writing of the numbers 11037 in the shower... All in all, it seemed like a normal scene. "But then... where did the murder weapon come from?" Hinata asked himself.
--Ist's Neat Bathroom added to evidence--
Hinata, seeing no reason to stay here, left the room, and went to check on other rooms. Yuki's was tidy, Souly's was tidy, Mayu's was tidy, Diabolic's was... a complete mess, but that didn't surprise Hinata. He checked all of the rooms. He even checked his own room to make sure it wasn't tampered with. Eventually, there was only one left. Koto's.
He walked in, and the room was normal from the looks of things. However, he then walked into the bathroom, and that's when things fell apart. Not only was the mirror broken, but every part of the bathroom was a complete mess. The most notable feature, however, was the blood that adorned most of the wall.
--Bloody Bathroom added to evidence--
--Investigation, Phase 1 complete--
Some people were added to the story, but they appeared briefly. Don't worry, you'll all play a more important part later.
