He felt it again. It was different from before but he could feel it. As he opened his eyes, Kumagawa found himself staring at a big ceiling many meters above him. He looked at a chandelier shining with a very bright color. He blinked and slowly sat up.

「…」he had no idea how he died this time, it had been too fast, and he didn't grasp what was going on until after he woke up. He looked around and saw people gathered around him with shocked expressions, hateful and fearful. He could see they were murmuring but he couldn't hear them 'Ah!' he thought and gave a mental order.

Sound returned to him as he erased his sudden deafness with All Fiction, and he finally stood up and cleaned his clothes thoughtlessly 「Oh, excuse me. What were we at again?」he looked around and saw his surroundings pierced by big shards of ice. He looked apparently surprised, but quickly jerked his face towards a very specific point in his vision.

In front of him were Roswaal, Emilia and Puck. Puck had attacked him, while the other two were shocked at his actions… Or probably the fact that Kumagawa just woke up again 「Hey there Puck! Long time no see!」Kumagawa cheerfully raised his hand, making the ancient spirit flinch in anticipation of an attack that never came 「…Something wrong?」

"Y-You know him Puck?!" Emilia quickly inquired, moving her eyes from Puck to Kumagawa in anguish.

"Roswall, get Lia out of here quick!" the cat spirit created other ice shards and shot to Kumagawa.

The minus simply stepped away from them, moving the least he could.

「How rude, even though we just met again you are treating me so awfully…」Kumagawa's smile grew wider 「I've never done anything to you, why so mad at me?」

"Enough already!" beside Emilia were other form girls. The green haired one stepped forth. She was wearing a military attire, and seemed obvious about how Kumagawa has simply resurrected himself "Identify yourself, or suffer the consequences" she quickly found herself surrounded by an old man butler and a cat girl dressed in white like the other guys to the left of the crowd.

「Eh? What's with this chick? Who is she?」Kumagawa pointed at her with his thumb while his hand was closed; he had ignored her and kept talking to the ancient spirit.

"She is Crusch Karsten, one of the candidates of the royal election" the elder man replied with a dignified tone, ready to unsheathe his blade "I would suggest you to speak with more respect"

「Hmm? I'm Kumagawa Misogi」the minus replied without caring too much and looking around 「So this is the palace, huh. Kind of fancy here」he looked at the men with beards, sitting as if they were the council that ruled over the country or something… Which they probably are 「Sup' old men!」

"Big bro!" Felt jumped to get the minus' attention and raised her hand.

「Isn't that Felt-chan?」he quickly approached her 「OH dayum! You look really cute!」

"That red haired dude made me dress like this!" she pointed out to Reinhart as if she was mad at him.

「Well, you look really cute in it」Kumagawa commented, feeling a hard stare fixed on his back. He turned to see the two remaining girls that he didn't pay attention to.

One had purple hair and was looking at him with a curious smile on her face. Kumagawa stared back at her, with a blank smile he ignored Felt and righted his stance.

「And who may you be?」

"Be careful with yer priorities" Kumagawa didn't react to the kansai dialect, but he noted it "There's a gal that doesn't like to be left last"

Kumagawa turned his attention to the princess-like girl next to the purple haired girl in white. She had a blood red dress, just like her eyes, and blonde hair like Felt. She was the one giving him a hard stare, which Kumagawa returned with a blank smile.

「…What is it?」Kumagawa scratched his face after a while. Given that the girl didn't blink, she might as well be dead.

"What's the deal with that weird way to speak?" she inquired as if she was offended "Quit it, you are making the most important person in the room irritated"

「…」his smile never left his face, but something in his eyes changed 「Come again?」

"You can't comprehend my words?" the girl sighed "Why do you speak between brackets? It's disgusting"

「But… Out of character is serious business, you know?」Kumagawa chuckled 「Also, most important person in the room? I'm the main character, you know?」

"And I am Priscilla Barielle" she replied "In character or whatever quit that disgusting way of speaking right now"

「But, Priscilla-chan…」something was thrown at him. He looked down and saw a fine line of blood on his cheek. Turning around he saw a folded fan nailed to the wall. She threw her fan.

"Don't address me so casually" she seemed to start losing her temper "Now, give back my fan, try not to stain it too much with your disgusting scent though"

「…」if it had been the himself from the future, he might as well had shrugged her behavior like he always does, or simply retort in a sassy way. But he isn't.

Not too long in the future he would meet Medaka again, threat the student council gathering Minus from everywhere on Japan and fight a battle he had no way of winning, all of the sake of his beloved Not Equal. He would be reformed and become a better version of himself… But he hasn't been reformed yet.

This young Kumagawa had no way to keep up, he could only answer with despair.

Everyone froze as they felt an immense killing intent coming from the boy clad in black. The dragon maidens flinched and had their knights on their side in an instant. Kumagawa's eyes became dark and a twisted smile formed on his face.

「What are you doing? Think you can protect you girls like that?」he chuckled, his face returning to normal in part 「Ask that cat spirit, I'll give you some time to consider this」

"Fools! Run! There's no way of winning!" the cat spirit yelled. Kumagawa noticed that Emilia was gone, it was better that way.

"We're surrounded by the royal knights" a purple haired knight said "How can we be in a disadvantaged position at this point?"

「Like this」before the background knights could release their swords, they met their end when Kumagawa appeared on the other side of the big hall.

"…" every single one of them was now impaled to the walls by big screws, piercing their vital spots. There was no agony nor any sign of resistance, they were all dead in an instant, as if they were never alive to being with.

"…!" the nobles screamed in horror, the knights covered their maidens respectively.

"What the….?" Kumagawa turned around with a big smile.

「Did you make up your mind already?」

"No! As a knight, I'll protect lady Houshin with my life!"

"Actually, I think I can take you on pal" everyone's attention shifted to a big man with a black knight mask. He was beside Priscilla, and was dressed in a rather poor way. Kumagawa noticed the absence of his left hand, as he was rising the right one" Kumagawa's smile grew wider.

「And who might you be?」

"The name's Aldebaran, call me Al for short" the man shrugged as Kumagawa approached.

「You think you can defeat me? With that injury?」Kumagawa asked sarcastically.

"Actually if I didn't have it it'd be far easier"

「Hmmm, I see」he ignored the man's calmness for some reason 「Want me to heal it for you?」

"You can?" the man asked surprised.

「I can. I already did」

"Aldebaran!" Priscilla yelled "Your arm" she stated in a low tone, as she couldn't believe it.

Before them, Al didn't have his left arm, but after blinking, he had it back. A tanned muscular arm like his right one, with his fingers ending in sharp black claws…. Wait, what?

「Eh?」with a swift movement, Aldebaran pierced Kumagawa's stomach with his giant fingers, making the teen cough blood. He released him, and Kumagawa's skin started changing, becoming paler and with small veins all over it 「What the…」he then coughed up blood. Kumagawa felt to his knees 「Gahhh…!」

"Lung cancer is really nasty, don't you agree Kumagawa?" Al asked casually as Kumagawa fell to the ground bleeding through his mouth "Well, that was easy"

"That won't be enough" Puck said "Everyone, evacuate immediately!"

"Wait, I don't understand what's going on with Al's hand" Priscilla spoke up.

"Does it matter?" Crusch asked "The whole battalion of knights was killed in an instant, what in hell is this lad?"

"Easy there ladies" Al replied in a laid back way "My minus will keep him down for some time so we can discuss calmly"

" "Minus"?" Crusch and Priscilla asked at the same time.

"He called his ability that too…" Puck became human-sized and approached Aldebaran "Don't tell me you are like him…"

"Indeed, Kumagawa and I have both minuses" Al chuckled "And both of them were granted by the same person, no less!"

"So you can undo things?" Puck looked to behind him "Where do you think you are going Houshin?"

Anastasia didn't seem to mind being addressed like that "Outta here, isn't that obvious? I ain't staying in this damn palace any second longer with a lad like this one, there might be more of them"

"No, my minus is different" Al replied.

"Let's move everyone" Crusch took the word "As Anastasia said, there's no reason to be here anymore"

"The elders are dead" Crusch was informed "They didn't leave the palace soon enough"

"You killed him, right? Why are they dead?" Priscilla asked, sitting on a couch near to Crusch's desk.

They had moved to her office, and were currently the two maidens and their knights.

"Because that person is very resilient" Puck replied "He called his ability like this man did to his, a Minus"

"But what is a minus?" Crusch dismissed the messenger and asked "Is it some kind of magic?"

"Not quite" Aldebaran replied "A minus is a skill, but it's not magic"

"It's like divine protections then" Crusch insisted.

"More or less, divine protections are more like Abnormalities though" he released a deep sigh "Man, to think he would be here of all the places…"

"…"

"Just like divine protections, a minus have different properties from one another. In my case" his fingers grew to the black claws again "Is the ability to give and cure diseases, it's called Five Focus"

"I see…" Crusch stated "You're like Felix then"

"Nya?!"

"No, no. While I could work in a similar way, I can't recover missing limbs and such. I can't recover injuries as they are not 'diseases', also minuses don't do any good, so it's not the case"

"Then what does his do?" Felix asked worriedly "Is his 'minus' that dangerous?"

"Minuses are made out of despair and madness to begin with" Al's comment made the temperature lower "As I said, there's no minus that can do any good"

"You said yours was granted…" the elder man replied.

"Indeed, mine is a special case, different from Kumagawa, but a special case nonetheless" he turned to face Priscilla "I am not a minus, so I am not insane, I can guarantee it"

"Hmmm" the blonde noble pondered but didn't say anything about it "So what's the difference between your and his minus?" she finally asked.

"You are alright with this new information?" the masked knight sounded surprised.

"Everything in this world works in my favor" she stated "And I was given the best doctor there is, no?"

"Well… You might be right" Al replied unsure.

"There what is there to be against? Case closed"

"Okay then…"

"Well!" Aldebaran stood up "I've made up my mind. Let's finish Kumagawa off"

"Eh?"

"You got a plan?" Crusch asked.

"Nope, it's just… Our time is over" the sound of flesh being ripped echoed through the hall behind the door. With a slam, the double door was opened by the force of a body being sent to the wall.

"What the hell?" Felix jumped out of his seat.

「Good evening ladies and gentlemen!」Kumagawa entered the room cheerfully and covered in blood 「How are you doing?」

"You!" Willhelm stood up quickly and unsheathed his sword.

"Wait there old man!" Aldebaran raised his hand "I think I got this"

Willhelm gave him an uneasy look, but back away. Everyone was tense because of the sudden appearance of the minus.

"Hello pal, nice to see you alive and kicking" Al greeted the minus.

「…」Kumagawa didn't react immediately, which raised the tension in the room 「Yes, I got infected by a weird disease. I'm fine now though」he replied in an equal friendly tone.

"That's nice… Wanna sit down? We have tea and cookies" Al pointed at a single couch at his left.

「…That would be lovely」Kumagawa walked to said position and sat down.

"Can someone give him cookies and tea please?" Al asked.

"Ammm, right" Felix moved almost robotically and served himself the tea.

「Don't make any strange moves, I'll know」

"Eh? You can tell?" Felix jumped anxiously.

「Why of course, I have that ability after all!」the minus chuckled.

"…"

"Is something wrong miss Crusch?" given the absurdity of the situation, asking that was so out of place that only Al could have asked that.

"I can't tell if he is lying"

"What?" Willhelm looked shocked, as did Felix.

「That's of no surprise」Kumagawa commented 「Oh, thank you. Mmmm, this tea is delicious」he began drinking 「Minuses can't be analyzed, you see. It's not a surprise you can't use your divine protection on me」

"Did you know?" Felix asked shocked.

"I thought a minus was a skill" Crusch ignored the cat person and continued the talk.

「Hmmm, yes. But also the term refers to the person」Kumagawa pointed at himself 「I am a minus, a skill holder holding a minus」

"So why are you telling us this?" Priscilla asked annoyed.

「Simple, there's nothing you can do about it, so it's not a problem」

"How can you be so certain?" the statement made Crusch chuckle. Of course, she had higher military intellect than any of the presents, she had face impossible enemies and come victorious. She didn't believe in something that couldn't be countered.

「Well, if we are talking about minuses, you could chop Al's hand and it'd be all over」Kumagawa touched his chin while thinking 「But my minus is truly irreversible, there's not much you can do about it. Al got the idea though」

"Al?"

"I simply gave him several diseases at once" the man shrugged "So it'd take longer for him to recover"

"So that means his All Fiction only works in one thing each time?" Puck asked "Now, that's useful information"

"So your skill is called All Fiction" Willhelm commented "May we know what it does? Sir Aldebaran hasn't told us yet"

「Right, right. Hold on a second」he turned to Aldebaran 「Could you please pass the sugar?」

"Here ya go" the man handed it touching the guy's skin with one finger.

「…」

"…What?"

「Damn, you are good」the minus stood up quickly, startling everyone on the room, but he trembled a little, groaned and fell to the table in front of him.

"What did you do this time Al?" Priscilla asked unimpressed.

"I gave him an ailment that caused him a heart attack" a single black claw retreated to become a normal finger again "Nothing much, and it will probably explain his minus better"

"I see… So he's supposed to stand up after his heart stopped?"

"….Pretty much"

"I'm looking forwards to it"

That strange exchange between the master and servant was interrupted when the minus sat up and then stood with a blank expression.

"So you are back…" Priscilla smiled.

「I am」Kumagawa blinked 「It's just… I don't really like dying」

"Next time tell her I say 'hi'" Al commented.

「I will」Kumagawa assured the man with a calm tone 「But now! Let's not ruin the mood with the memory of a dead person! We were guessing my skill, right?」and just like that he returned to his usual cheerful self.

"It's a healing skill, right?" Crusch asked immediately.

「Nope」

"Time reversal" Priscilla stated.

「Why does everyone assume that?」Kumagawa chuckled.

"The skill to deny aspects of reality… DESU"

Everyone turned to the door, where a strange man stood with black robes. With green hair and a white face, he twisted his neck in an unholy way.

"I came all the way to meet you, one who is not part of HER, but still received her love! And you are here! OH finally we meet! My brain trembles!"

A/N

How's that? I'm not really able to make a full story about this, but connecting one-shots should be easy! Thanks for your kind reviews, reviews give me life! Now, some personal replies.

llat-2: No, but it's not as important as the fact that I haven't read Suisou Is Full of Wriggling Brains nor The Zugzwang of Suisou Management either, and THAT'S a big deal. Whatever you think I got wrong, I can explain it, so it's okay. Ask away if you feel like.

Jack Whitty: I'm not into teen titans, sorry. But I wanted to write something with danganronpa, is it cool?

Okay, before off I go, I wanted to ask you guys, if you know where I can read the Medaka Box novels, because I'm sure they are godly, and reading a light novel with Kumagawa as the protagonist will make... MY BRAIN TREMBLE.

Remember, any errors in grammar, ortography, etc. can be pointed out, in fact, I'd appretiate it.

Until next time~
