Chapter Text
Kaito looked at the photo in his locker of him and his boyfriends as he took it out holding it close. He could hear the people around him talking about all sorts of things, Tv shows, their friends, the latest stupid high school gossip.The big talk was all about the recent kidnappings around the different high schools and how supposedly ten people had gone missing so far. They were wrong. It was twelve.
Kokichi was the eleventh and Shuichi was the twelfth to go missing.
This was breaking Kaito's heart. His boyfriends, the sweetest guys in the world, are gone. No one realized they were missing because no one cared about them in the school. Kaito was the only one, he protected them, he loved them, and the three didn’t care about anything anyone would do because Kaito would always protect them. But this time? He couldn’t, because he had no idea where they were, or who could have taken them. He heard the bell ring as he saw people heading to their classes as he closed his locker waiting for the hallway to clear up before he just left. He couldn’t take being there without his boyfriends so there was no point.
He had to find them.
He left the building hearing a teacher yelling at him he was going to write him up and have him expelled. Kaito responded by flipping the teacher a middle finger as he ran out of there. He wasn’t sure where he could go for help until he decided to find Shuichi's uncle and aunt, they must be worried sick about him. He ran to the house as he knocked on the door seeing the wife of Detective Saihara open it.
“Kaito? What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at school?” She asked him
“I’m sorry but I couldn’t focus on school, not when my boyfriends are missing.” He told her. She sighed sadly as she gave him a gentle smile. “I would go down to the station then and talk with Akio about this” She told him as he nodded his head.
“Thank you!” He said. “I promise, I'll bring them both back.” He told her as he ran off once more as she waved goodbye to him worried about his mental health more than anything right now. He looked like a wreck. His hair was a mess and unkept, he smelt as if he hadn’t showered in a few days, and his eyes had bags that looked like. She knew he was worried but if he didn’t stop to rest even just for a few minutes he would collapse. She took out her phone as she sent a text to her husband about looking out for Kaito.
Kaito ran as fast as he could through the city as he headed to the agency where Shuichi’s uncle was employed as he ran inside. He could see him in front of a whiteboard with twelve other students' faces on there, two of them being his boyfriends.
“Detective Saihara!” He called out to him as the man looked over to see him. “Kaito, shouldn’t you be in school?” He asked him, raising an eyebrow as Kaito came over to him.
“I know I know, but this is more important to me.” He said to him desperately. “Please, can you tell me what you know about this?” He said worried. “About the missing students…and them?” He asked him worriedly. The detective signed, looking at Kaito’s desperate face as he looked at the board.
“I’m sorry Kaito, but there isn’t much I can tell you. We aren't even sure what the case is exactly.” He said. “This could be all different kidnappers or linked but the only connection behind the victims is that they’re all high school students. Other than that though, no connection whatsoever.” He told Kaito. “There are some girls, some boys, different heights, builds, ethnicities, sexuality, so many variations. Some of these students are straight As while others are almost ready to drop out. Some are good kids, some are delinquents, some do sports and extra curricular and others do =nothing. Family backgrounds are different too, some have rich families others are living in debt.” He explained. “There isn’t a connection we can find, so right now we are just doing whatever we can '' he told him as he looked at Kaito seeing his face. He looked terrified and upset, but he wouldn’t cry in public, he knew he wanted to right now.
“T-there has to be more!” He said desperately.
“I’m sorry Kaito there really isn’t…” the detective sighed as he put his hand on his shoulder. “Why don’t you go home?” He said. Before Kaito could argue he held his hand up to stop him. “I know you don’t want to, you just want to find them. But how do you think they’ll feel if they found out you're doing this to yourself? They would be so upset” he told Kaito as he sighed.
“You’re…right” he sighed. “I don’t want them to worry about me when they’re the ones in trouble.” He said. “I’ll get some rest if you promise to call me if you find anything.” He told him.
“I promise Kaito.” He said. “Get home safe, please, and say hi to your grandfather for me.” He told him. Kaito nodded his head as he made his way out of the building heading back to his home as the detective looked at the photo on his desk of his nephew and his parents sighing. “I’ll find you boys…don’t worry” he said.
Kaito walked along the sidewalk as he started to head home. He couldn’t focus, not when his boys are in danger like this. He kept walking, putting his head in his hands as he did so unaware of what was around him as a white van approached, inside holding a few masked men.
“Well well, looks like we don’t have to try and ambush him at the school.” The man said. “Get ready to grab him boys, or else Nakamura will have our heads.” He said to them as they drove up a little bit ahead of Kaito as they swung open the door. “Kaito Momota.” The head masked man said to Kaito as he looked up to them seeing he was now surrounded.
“Fuck this, I have been having a real crap last few days! So whoever fucking sent you bette rbe prepared to find your bodies IN THE NEAREST HOSPTIAL!” He yelled as he swung at the closest man to him. The men quickly overpowered him though. Kaito would normally be able to fight off twice as many of these guys, however with the stress and lack of sleep the last few days have left him weak. One of the men quickly pulled a pair of handcuffs cuffing his wrists behind his back tight as another put a bag over his head. “GET THE FUCK OFF OF-” He started to yell as one of the men smacked the back of his head with a club. Kaito’s body suddenly then went limp in the arms of the man holding him from behind as they looked to one another. They picked him up as they tossed him into the van as the leader pulled out a phone. “We have him now Ma’am.” He said. “Target #13 is in our possession and heading back to headquarters now.” He said as he hung up getting in the van as it drove away.
Kaito wasn’t sure how long it had been since he woke up. He was even less sure of how long it’s been since he was taken. He still had the bag over his head and he could feel the cold steel around his wrists still. He knew that this was bad. Were these the same people behind the other missing teens or did he fuck with the wrong delinquent again. He wasn’t sure, but he knew he had to get out now. He pulled at his wrists as he felt them start to rub raw, before he heard the sound of a door open and closing near him. He could hear what sounded like heels clacking on the ground as someone walked past him and in front of him. He heard the snap of their fingers as the bag was removed from his head as he saw a woman standing there in front of him.
“I’m glad your awake, I was worried my men hit you on the head a little too hard.” She smiled to him as if nothing was wrong. Kaito glared at her as he pulled at his bonds angry.
“WHAT THE HELL LADY?!” Kaito yelled at her as she raised an eyebrow. “WHY THE FUCK DID YOU KIDNAP ME?! WHY AM I TIED TO A FUCKING CHAIR?!” He yelled as the lady rose a hand to stop his tirade.
“You, Kaito Momota, have been chosen to be one of the next contestants of Danganronpa season 53” She smiled at him as Kaito blinked confused. “We loved your audition about becoming the Ultimate Astronaut and just had to have you in this season.”
“What?! But I didn’t..” he started to say before he realized it. “B-but your company said the audition videos the fans sent in were just for fun! Nothing about them being actual auditions!” He said slightly panicked.
“Well they were…most of them anyways. But the true cream of the crop auditions were officially casted and you Kaito, you were one of them.” She smiled as Kaito just glared at her. “YOU”RE INSANE LADY!” He yelled
“Pardon?”
“YOU SERIOUSLY THINK I WOULD AGREE TO BE ON THIS FUCKING SHOW AFTER YOU KIDNPPED ME?! FOR FUCKNG GET IT.!” He yelled as the woman sighed.
“I suppose you are correct. We will release you, though I do still hope you’ll watch this season. It’s going to be great, I heard the first murder will be a double murders case…featuring the Ultimate detectvie and the Ultimate Supreme Leader being the ones who get executed.” She smirked at Kaito as his face paled.
“Y-you have them?!” He said worried.
“Of course, all three of you had such great ideas, we decided to cast all three of you!” She smiled as Kaito paled even more.
“P-please, don’t hurt them!” He begged her as she just smirked.
“Welll… I have no control over when they will die in the game, but I can promise I won’t rig it to be them as the first blackends unfairly” She smirked “Only if you are in the season.” She said, “Well Kaito? What is your choice?” She asked him as he lowered his head facing the floor.
“I-I’ll do it…on one condition.” He said as the woman raised her eyebrow again. “Let me see them. One more time before you make us go through this.” He begged.
“Hmm…fine. You’ll get five minutes with them before we put you in the game.” She said to him as he sighed. At least he would get to say goodbye. She snapped her fingers as two men came into the room as they lifted Kaito up. “Bring him to the set up so we can get him programmed into the game.” She told them as they nodded dragging Kaito out of the room as they walked down blank halls until they reach a locked door as they used a keycard to open the door.
Inside the room there was sixteen seats with ten of them being filled with unconscious teens strapped down into the chairs with a helmet device over their heads. Kaito recognized the teens from the missing teens board as he frowned realizing they all must have been forced into this game like he was. He looked ahead as he saw a few more men similar to the ones holding him, holding his boyfriends hands behind their backs trying to force them into chairs as they all looked to who entered.
“K-kaito! No!” Shucihi said seeing they caught him.
“K-kaito…” Kokichi said worried as tears fell down his face as they saw the woman from before.
“Uncuff him.” She told the men holding Kaito.
“Are you..”
“Do I pay you to question me? Or do I pay you to do as I tell you.” She snapped at him as they quickly uncuffed him. “You have five minutes.” She told Kaito as he ran to his boyfriends pulling them into a tight embrace as they started to cry into his shoulders, wanting to hug back but couldn’t due to their own restraints.
“K-kaito we’re scared…W-what if we hurt someone or worse…each other?” Kokichi cried.
“How did they make you do this game Kaito” Shucihi asked.
“I know Kichi..But we have no choice. They told me if I didn’t agree then you and Kichi would have been the first two executed in a double murders.” He told them.
“B-but what if..”
“Let’s just…enjoy this moment…please…” he said to them as he hugged them tighter as he started to sob crying into their shoulders as well, after a few moments of this the woman rolled her eyes.
“I’m sorry to break up this lovely scene, but we have a premiere in twenty minutes.” She said as she snapped her fingers as the men who were holding Kaito before grabbed him again as they cuffed him again pulling the three boys away from one another as they cried out for one another.
“NO! PLEASE JUST ONE MORE MINUTE!” Kaito yelled
“KAITO! SHUICHI! I LOVE YOU! I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BOTH FOREVER!” Kokichi yelled as he was the first one to be put in the chair as the device was lowered onto his head as he stopped talking, stopped struggling, stopped moving.
“KOKICHI! NO KOKICHI!” Shucihi cried as he was pulled closer to the chair. “I LOVE YOU BOTH TOO!” He yelled as he met the same fate as Kokichi. Kaito looked at his boys one last time as he was pulled into his chair as the device started to lower.
“I love you both…forever and always.”
