Hey guys! I know i reeeeaaallly shouldn't, but I've started a new story. I've just lost inspiration for most of the ones i haven't finished, but i don't wanna put them up for adoption either.

Although if you DO write a thing continuing one of my stories, i won't be opposed to it. Just mention me if you do.

Danganronpa is one of my new fav animes of all time. i have shippings for both DR 1 and 2. But my OTP for the first game is Naegi x Togami. (however, i respect all shippings).

So i was just writing in my little green notebook, and came up with an idea that just won't leave my brain until i write it. It took like 5 pages in my notebook (it was small but still). I am really excited to see how this turns out, and please don't forget to tell me if there's something i could do better, or if i mess up their characters.

Togami's female name shall be Belinda Togami, unless someone has a better suggestion, then by all means I'm all ears. This is not set in the modern Era (i didn't have a specific era or place in mind), and also no despair. Obviously it's an AU.

I don't own Danganronpa, otherwise the second game would have already been animated (with a decent amount of episodes).

ATTENTION! TO ALL READERS, since there seems to be two DR archives, i will be posting this story in BOTH. Nothing will change, except you'll see this story twice if you look through my story list. I had to change "Heiress" to "Princess" Since i couldn't have two stories with the same name.

One is under Games, the other is under Anime. (The anime one doesn't seem to be as popular)

START OF CHAPTER:

Our story begins in the estate of one of the richest families in the country, the Togami family. The current heiress, Belinda, was a very beautiful teenager (if not a bit cold in the emotional department). Long blond hair and piercing blue eyes, many a noble had tried to win her hand in marriage, but she refused them all one by one.

Having no parents or siblings however, meant pressure on Belinda to carry on the Togami family name. This was a fact she both accepted and hated. Because this meant…

"Belinda! We need to talk young lady!"

This made the young blonde groan with annoyance. She knew what was coming. Her uncle Richard had been increasingly impatient as to when she would finally accept a suitor. Staying still, she fixed her uncle with her customary blank stare and said nothing.

"You rejected another one! What was wrong with this one?"

Finally she spoke.

"Are you referring to that monotonous troglodyte?"

"…Unbelievable! Really Belinda how picky can you be? There are only so many willing young men out there…."

It was about this time that Belinda tuned her uncle out. Just because her uncle (and legal guardian) had been in an arranged marriage, doesn't mean that she would spend the rest of her life with the first stuffy noble boy that came calling. What a ridiculous thought.

"… seeing as my wife never had any children before her untimely passing, it is up to you to carry on the illustrious family name…"

He was still talking? Honestly, her uncle could be so boring sometimes. It was one thing to make a point, it was another entirely to bore the recipient with a long winded lecture (that would be ignored and forgotten within the hour).

"…You need to choose someone by the time you turn 18, or someone will be chosen for you…."

"I doubt that, and id like to see you try."

Without another word, the Togami heir walked away, any protesting words otherwise fell on deaf ears. She walked the halls until eventually she came to her favourite room in the estate, which was the library. She found a book, then sat in her favourite chair by the fireplace to read.

It was The Princess and the Pauper. While she wouldn't publicly admit it, it was secretly one of her favourite books ever since childhood. Her mother used to read it to her before she died.

Then, the story gave her an idea. While she wouldn't copy the book directly, the story inspired a different idea. For now she would do nothing, but when the time was right she would make her preparations. Her stubborn independent streak meant that she would rely on herself and her alone (even if there were some things she wasn't used to doing by herself), a stubborn Togami was a considerable force.

That night, she applied some black hair die, and soon enough her hair was a different colour. Not as deep of a pitch black as she aimed for, but still a pretty dark shade. She didn't have any contacts, not that she intended to get rid of her glasses anyway. She packed a small amount of clothing, food, and necessities in a medium sized bag, and finally a cloak that would conceal her face. She dyed her hair, but she wasn't leaving un-prepared.

Dodging the night guard was an art she had been practicing for years, so it didn't take much effort to reach the massive front gates. Without so much as a glance backwards, she slipped out into the night.

As she walked farther from the estate, she didn't feel as sad as she thought she would. The estate had felt more like a glorified prison then a home.

Speaking of home, another problem was quickly approaching. Where was she going to stay? She wouldn't be sleeping outside, that was for sure. She kept walking, until she realised she had no idea where she was going. She paused and huffed in frustration, she was about to keep walking when she heard a voice behind her.

"E-excuse me miss, are you lost?"

She spun on her heel and looked at the stranger. A small boy that was a few centimetres shorter then her, with messy brown hair and one stubborn bit that stuck out. He wasn't nobility judging on how he was dressed. A simple green jacket, dark jeans and sneakers.

Then she realised something he said.

"How were you able to determine my gender?"

"Well, i noticed the way you walked, and your.. ah… figure."

He trailed off at the end, scratching the back of his neck.

"Hmph, go figure. All men are perverted halfwits."

The boy's eyes widened in realisation, his face reddened and he waved his arms in front of him in a frantic manner.

"N-no that's not what i meant! Not that your unattractive, i just meant that it was obvious you were a girl and well… i mean… i wasn't staring at you because you had a- a large chest or anything i j-just happened to notice you and-"

He was cut off by an amused sound from his companion.

"Tell me boy, whats your name? Assuming you can say that much without stuttering."

"Of course, how could i forget?"

"Quite easily i imagine."

The brunette either chose to ignore that or didn't hear it.

"Naegi. My name is Makoto Naegi. What's your name?"

Shit. Togami hadn't thought of that. Quick, think of a fake name… ah yes, just use an old friends name. A simple solution to this game, the game of staying away from home for as long as possible.

"Celestia Ludenburg. A pleasure."

Naegi hesitated, opening his mouth to say something, but must have decided against it and closed his mouth. This repeated a few times until Togami spoke up.

"Whatever you were going to say, spit it out, or have you lost the ability to speak?"

"I was only going to ask. You look kinda lost, would you like to stay in my home?"

The only response was a silent but reluctant nod, anything was preferable to sleeping outside. Then the two started walking. The taller making sure her hood was still up. As they continued their journey to Naegi's home, a conversation was struck up.

"I require a 'place to stay' for about four months, would you really be willing to house a stranger for that long?"

"Not a problem."

"Your sure bout this boy?"

"Course i am! You need help and i want to help you."

"…You are entirely to trusting for your own good, you know that?"

"hehe.. so I've been told. My friends do say I'm a very optimistic person."

"I am not surprised, you seem the gullible type."

"Im glad you agree… hey! I'm not gullible."

"Your shoe laces are untied Naegi"

"Really?" He looked down.

"See? Gullible."

After a short while of Naegi protesting and 'Celestia' teasing with an ever present smirk, they had finally arrived at Naegi's home. A fairly average place, but large for a single person.

"Welcome to my home Celes-chan."

END OF CHAPTER:

I really didn't intend to, but you know what I've just realised? This kinda sounds like Aladdin so far. Its not going to be like that though, the whole thing won't be a re-write of the whole movie. I could write that as well as this if people want though.

I have this all planned out, the only thing is expanding it into chapters. Due to my school life and homework i can't promise an exact update schedule, but i will try my absolute best.

I love Danganronpa, and i will go down with this ship. Naegami is my OTP, but i respect all shippings. If you'd like me to try and sneak a side pairing in (somehow), let me know (both DR 1 and 2).

Cya next chapter :)
