The Luckster And The Gangster's Sister

First off, welcome to another experimental Danganronpa fic. Having watched the current episodes of Danganronpa 3: Side Despair, I became hooked after the first two episodes were light-hearted, but unexpectedly shifts to a somber one in episode 3 as it finally depicts how Fuyuhiko's sister got killed and introduced Sato which explained the backstory from the Danganronpa 2 game.

Having seen Natsumi Kuzuryu on the PS VITA snapshots on the Danganronpa site, I finally get to see Natsumi's anime form. Despite her rough and bully-type demeanor, I find her sexy and seductive, and decided to make an experimental fanfic about her. Regarding on who would be her partner, Initially considered pairing her with Hajime Hinata, but he did not cliche with me since he doesn't look too appealing, until Makoto Naegi came into mind.

I began picturing the two and felt that they might make a good chemistry since Naegi is able to befriend even people with bad attitudes, such as Byakuya Togami and Mondo Ohwada, so I thought of making an experimental fic featuring Naegi and Natsumi, since his cheerful and optimistic mood contrasts to Natsumi's egotism and bad attitude. Moreover, this fic will be quite rough from the start until the romance part comes in, which you will eventually see.

As this fic is set during the events of DR 3: Side Despair episode 3, it would feature some of the DR 2 casts, as well as some from DR 1. Lastly, some later chapter may contain love scenes, which would depend on the flow of the story, so lemon fans...a little patience and you will eventually read them...

After all said and done, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 1: Prologue

The scene shows that a huge building stands in the center of Tokyo, where it houses the famous Hope's Peak Academy, where for over the years selected certain high school students for having a certain field if talent, and helped them grow and when they graduate, they succeed in later life, and things went on until the board of trustees came up with the idea of opening a Reserve Course which would differentiate itself from the Main Course, which means Hope's Peak would accept ordinary students, those who have no specific talent, but in exchange the student would pay VERY HIGH tuition fees.

Two person appeared to be against it, believing it is unfair to the ordinary students as this would alienate them from the main course students. They are current headmaster, Jin Kirigiri, and former headmaster and current school adviser, Kazuo Tengan, and they voiced their opinion about this, but the board of trustees sheer number overwhelm the two men's opinion, saying it is necessary claiming that due to the government beginning to back out from supporting the academy financially, and said that they are planning an experiment, and if successful, they will give reserve course students the chance to EARN a talent so they can be PROMOTED to the main course.

"What was that?"

"You can't be serious..."

"We are, gentlemen..."

"This a good opportunity..."

"It would help Hope's Peak..."

"If this proved to be a success, then we can give select students from the reserve course the means to earn their way to the main course."

"Trust us, Mr. Kirigiri and Mr. Tengan...we promise this would benefit the academy..."

"Right..."

Tengan and Kirigiri are against this, as they feel that treating the reserve course as mere "guinea pigs" is morally wrong, while Tengan believed that talent should come from the person itself, not giving one an artificial means to get one, but despite their opinions, the board of trustees used their numbers to garner votes and won, allowing them to move on ahead, and as the meeting is adjourned, Tengan and Kirigiri left the boardroom, where Koichi Kizakura is waiting for the two, and he asks them how the meeting went, which Kirigiri appeared displeased, while Tengan had a look of concern.

"So...how did the meeting go?"

"Not quite good..."

"And I'm very concerned..."

"I guess they are going ahead with THAT project..."

"I'll see if I could stall them for a little longer..."

"Good luck, Kirigiri-kun..."

"Oh dear...I'd better have another drink of whiskey..."

"No."

"Kizakura-kun...!"

As the three men left, the board of trustees came out next, pleased that they were able to win the vote and now they have no obstacles in having the proposed experiment getting ready, and they left as well, not noticing that someone is there, eavesdropping their conversation, and that person turn out to be Juzo Sakakura, who graduated from Hope's Peak, and now he is working undercover as a security guard head, and he overheard everything and secretly contacted someone, who turn out to be Kyosuke Munakata, telling him the intel he gathered so far.

"...and that's what I gathered so far..."

"I see..."

"So...what now...?"

"Keep getting more info...and keep me updated..."

"Got it...we got to weed out those good for nothing assholes..."

"I agree...the academy is going downhill...and if the overseas version is successful, then I can gain greater control..and restore Hope's Peak back to its former glory..."

"Okay, over and out."

"..."

After that, Sakakura continued to play the role of intel seeker while moonlighting ad a security head, intending to find out other dark secrets of the academy, seeing that it has gotten down to the wrong path and became "rotten to thr core".

A few months have passed, classes is already underway as Chisa Yukizome, who was hired to act as a teacher, began mentoring Class 77, where she learned that only half of the students are attending, and she became determined to make this section the best, not only academically, but socially, believing that talent alone won't make a student grow, so she set off to gather the other students until they are completed. The students of Class 77 are assembled and they are:

- Sonia Nevermind

- Mikan Tsumiki

- Mahiru Koizumi

- Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu

- Hiyoko Saiyonji

- Nekomaru Midai

- Teruteru Hanamura

- Akane Owari

- Kazuichi Soda

- Peko Pekoyama

- Gundam Tanaka

- Ibuki Mioda

- Nagito Komaeda

- Ryota Mitarai

- Chiaki Nanami

Yukizome used unorthodox means to get the students under control, and in turn the students began to earn their respect and they began to attend classes, while at the same time began to befriend one another and Yukizome is pleased that she is able to solve this one problem and told the students that if they act like one "happy family and neighbors", they can make fond memories and succeed in life sooner and remind them that talent alone will not make them succeed, and the 15 students nodded in agreement to Yukizome's advise.

"Yes, sensei..."

"Yes, sensei…"

As the hours passed, the day went on until classed ended, and the students of Class 77 left for home, and they were pleased at how things turn out, feeling that attending classes may not be so bad after all, and when the others have left, the scene shows that two remaining students are waiting for someone outside the academy, and they turn out to be Fuyuhiko and Pekoyama, and she noted that Fuyuhiko appeared rather pleased at the turn of events and asks if he enjoyed today's class activities.

"Did you enjoy today's class?"

"Yeah..."

"Really?"

"Right...that teacher sure have guts...but she earned my respect..."

"I see..."

"I guess attending classes won't be as boring as I thought...you should attend classes as well..."

"As you wish..."

"Good."

By then a limousine arrived and the two teens hopped in and the vehicle left, and an hour later the limousine arrived where Fuyihiko and Pekoyama got off and are greeted by the Kuzuryu patriarch, and he asks his son how things went on at Hope's Peak Academy, which he said that today's activities were interesting and said he is looking forward to the days to come, and the patriarch nodded saying that attending the academy will help Fuyuhiko prepare himself in the future as the son is the heir apparent to the Kuzuryu Clan, which Fuyuhiko nodded, and as Fuyuhiko and Peko left, the scene shows that a pretty teenage girl is standing there, and she watched the two went inside the house, and she felt envious at the two teens.

The girl is identified as Natsumi Kuzuryu, Fuyuhiko's younger sister and only daughter. Unlike Fuyuhiko, Natsumi is fairly taller than him and has long blond hair, and despite her pretty face, she is somewhat more rowdier and more bad-mouthing than her parents, but underneath those, she is shown to be an insecure girl as seeing her brother getting scouted and accepted at Hope's Peak Academy, along with Pekoyama, made her feel left behind.

"Nii-san...I'll do anything to be with you...no matter what..."

Wanting to do something so her parents would be proud of her, as well as to be at her brother's side, she bid her time and when her dad is alone, she went to him and came up with a conversation, telling him that she wanted to attend Hope's Peak Academy, which Mr. Kuzuryu appeared skeptical seeing that his daughter has no distinguishing talent, and asks her if she is sure about this, telling her that his intel told him that those with no special talents would end up at the reserve course, though Natsumi feels that she could find a way to show her OWN talents so the scouts would notice her and have her transfer to the main course.

"Are you sure about this, Natsumi?"

"Yes, dad..."

"Why come up with this all of the sudden?"

"I...I...I want to be like my brother...a Super High School-level student..."

"You don't have that kind of talent right now..."

"I'll do something...really!"

"Still..."

"Please!"

Mr. Kuzuryu is hesitant but Natsumi started to get a bit louder and he sighed as he did not want to have the house turn into a verbal warzone and told her that he would come up with a way to have her accepted at Hope's Peak, and Natsumi smirked as she feels that she has found a way to do something that would make her parents and Fuyuhiko proud of her.

Elsewhere, the scene shifts at the streets where Kizakura is walking around, looking for someone that would get his attention, as he had a rough time due to having managed to convince certain teenagers that they have been selected to study at Hope's Peak, which he recently made contact with Celestia Ludenberg, and just yesterday, a leader of a biker gang, having narrowly convincing him that he is selected as well, that person turning out to be Mondo Ohwada. Kizakura sighed as he is hoping to find someone interesting that would pique his interest.

"Sure is boring...Hope to find someone interesting soon..."

By then, Kizakura spotted a certain teenage boy passing by, and just then he narrowly evaded an erring cyclist who rode the wrong lane, and the boy said that he is LUCKY to escape injury, only to fall flat as a dirty cat jumped from a tree and landed on the boy, dirtying his shirt and the boy sighed in annoyance, and he is about to leave, he saw something on the ground, which appeared to be a paper money worth 5,000 Yen, and seeing that no one is around, the boy decided to pick it up and claim it as his own, and he felt LUCKY that at least something good happened.

"At least there's that...lucky for me I didn't get hurt...and this money would sure make up for it..."

As the boy left, Kizakura smirked as he adjusted his hat, seeing that he spotted someone with a potential talent, and just then, he saw an ID sprawled on the ground and picked it up, where he learned that the ID belonged to the boy he saw, and is identified as Makoto Naegi, and he immediately concluded what talent Naegi would be assigned to, but then his cellphone rang and he answered it, and the caller turn out to be Jin, and there Kizakura told Jin he has scouted a potential teen with a talent, explaining it and Jin began checking on the computer and found the school Naegi is attending, and instructs Kizakura to head at the academy and deliver the invitation to Naegi personally.

"You sure, headmaster?"

"Yes."

"What a coincidence..."

"I know...so bring the invitation to that boy..."

"Okay, okay..."

"And let me know when he would come here..."

"Right..."

"Good."

Kizakura adjusted his hat as he took his leave and heads back to Hope's Peak so that he would pick up the letter envelope containing the invite and deliver it to Naegi personally.

To Be Continued... .

Hope you like this opening chapter, though this appeared to be a bit suspenseful for a romance-type fic. A lot of references of DR 3 Side Despair episode 3 are shown, and here you get to see how Nanami "begged" her dad to let her enroll to Hope's Peak, so it remains to be seen if she would get what she wants.

A few characters from Danganronpa 1 are mentioned here, but Naegi makes an appearance here where he is eventually gets scouted. A future meeting between the two would soon happen.

Preview:

The next chapter shows Nanami getting into the reserve course, and wastes no time making her presence felt, and soon Naegi would also make an appearance getting into the main course. Their paths will eventually cross but don't expect their first meeting to be pleasant...
