Hikaru was not looking okay to Kaori, so Kaori asked "What's wrong? Hikaru-chan? We have nearly got enough evidence to show that Shuuichi-kun did not commit the crime, so what's wrong now?" Hikaru smiled at her "Shuuichi nii-san was now surrounded by all his fans and he can't sleep well or eat well while they were there to make so much noise. Plus that Hiei nii-san was so weird these days." "How do you know he was weird when you could only see him a few times this week since you went to live with your cousin Terrisa-san. And, though I have not met him, I got it that he talked so little to you from Fuu-chan and Umi-chan. So what's wrong about him? Did he go asking you 'Are you all right?' all the time or he started smiling and talking to you?" Hikaru shook her eyes "He just disappears time to time when I call him, I know he talks really little, but he never ignored me." "Oh." Kaori said, she didn't know what she should say so the carried on looking for clues. "I wonder whether Fuu-chan could find some more." Hikaru said. "I wonder what Mokona was doing that night when the super star was lost." Kaori said to herself, a bit too loud. Hikaru asked "Mokona?" Kaori smiled "Well, nothing important, I guess." Hikaru asked "What exactly is Mokona?" Kaori said "A bunny, I guess, he resembles a bunny." Hikaru muttered to herself "An unidentified animal living on land." Kaori gave a cry suddenly "Hey, why didn't anyone noticed before that there was a glass case here?" Hikaru asked "What does it matter whether its here or not?" Kaori smiled "It matters!" Hikaru asked "It matters? How?" Kaori smiled her mysterious smile again. "Its a secret!" Fuu logged into the video recorder this time, she was waiting for a movie clip to get loaded. Ferio never followed her to work since the night she was late. She sighed, might be that Ferio lost interest in her straight after that night. She knew that she should be thinking of the case and the case only, but she can't help letting most of her mind wonder off to him. But still some of her mind stays and made her think about whether Shuuichi was innocent or not. She knew she should believe in Hikaru that her brother could never be a criminal, but still she understood that Hikaru was one person and Shuuichi was another person, you can't judge people by just looking at their sister. But so far she saw that none of the evidence they have found and theories they had were not against Shuuichi except for the silver hair. Then her head wondered off to the white fur. What can the white fur be from, it was not from some of those stuffed toys. Her mind wondered automatically to Mokona, What can this be?¡@Can it be related to the case? Ferio can't believe how slow Fuu was, he was there standing, leaning against the back wall, and she, who was there, having nothing to do, staring at the blank screen, still didn't realize that he was there. He stared at her while she was playing with her pendent. He laughed to himself, She didn't bother to get dressed in an officer out fit now, but she still looked sweet. At least in his point of view. Umi was stuck in the case and was not bothered with it anymore, she would have to ask Fuu after Fuu decided that she had worked enough. Ascot was sitting on the sofa beside her staring at the T.V, she knew how nervous he was, he was playing with his hands. She touched his hand. "Ascot, are you bored with fashion shows? You can get to the station you want." She handed him the remote control. Ascot took it in his hand nervously, he looked at her, she was so pretty in the classical way. The way he liked her. Umi shifted so she was nearer to him. He just moved away from her. "Can I go back to my work?" Ascot asked nervously. Umi smiled seeing him blushing like a tomato. Umi said "You are doing your job now, protecting me, how can you protect me if you are not here?" Ascot lowered his head, letting his long bangs cover his eyes. Umi brushed his hairs away. "Hey, get a hair cut, you have to work with a gun in your job, I don't want you to miss a shot because of all your hair." Umi smiled. Ascot said blushing all over again "I…will do it in the…weekends." He stammered. "Don't get that nervous over nothing!" Umi laughed gently. Ascot said "It would not be nice if your brother saw this." Umi rolled her eyes "Who cares what he thinks. I think he will fall for a poor girl, so what's wrong with me liking my bodyguard?" Ascot said quietly "The problem of that is…he still didn't fall for anyone at the moment." Umi got off the couch, turned off the T.V then went in front of him "Hey, you know what, Fuu-chan, my friend, fell for aunt Emeraude's little brother, uncle Ferio, the one who ran away since he was three!" She smiled. Ascot asked "Ferio? The 'prince of ice'? He won the skating champion since he was thirteen, and he kept in place for the last five years." Umi asked "You read the sports newspapers?" Ascot nodded "He's only eighteen, I think, a year older than Fuu." Umi nodded "And he's my uncle, can you believe this?" Ascot nodded. Umi said "Fuu just reached seventeen two weeks ago, and she's in love with my Uncle who's only a year older than me. Gosh, You believed it while I can't believe it myself." Ascot smiled. Just then they heard a loud thud. "What …do…you want mister?" a maid's voice was heard. Umi ran out of the door of the room. A short young man in black was staring at her with his dark reddish eyes. "Where is the information?" The man asked in a low rough voice. Umi felt cold metal on her neck. She shrank back. Ascot stood in front of her. "Don't dare touch princess Umi." Ascot said his eyes boring into Hiei's. Hiei snickered "See if you can stop me." Ascot took a step to Hiei. Hiei disappeared in front of him Ascot got his pistol out of his pocket. "A pistol is useless, you could never get the perfect aim." The voice said as he got past him and went straight for Umi. Umi gave a shriek then grabbed the broom stick the maid had been carrying. She then used it as a rapier. "Sort of skilled." Hiei commented coldly. But still Umi could have a little fight with him, though she was losing because even the broom stick hit Hiei, it didn't harm him much and Hiei really was using a sword. The blade nearly cut into Umi's arm as the fire of the pistol was heard. Hiei laughed "I told you the pistol was useless." Hiei now stood still. Ascot looked at him, straight in the eye, Hiei smiled again then a long deep cut appeared in Ascot's stomach. Ascot screamed as Hiei disappeared around the corridor. Umi went to Ascot's side. "Ascot!" Umi screamed through her tears. Ascot said before he lost his conscious "Call...the police...Umi...quick, he is now going for...Fuu..." he closed his eyes. " Ascot! Ascot!" Umi called his name again and again, tears streaming down his face. Then she ran to her room and dialed the phone to Koenma's office. The video clip was finally loaded and Fuu finished watching it, there was definitely a ray of light in the window. She sighed again, why did they use black and white? So that the people who were looking up for this case could have a hard time? She replayed it. Just then, the door burst open. She can't see the intruder's face since his back was to the light. She gasped as she recognize him as one of Hikaru's brothers, Hiei. She backed up a step as he moved into the room with an evil smile on his face. Her back hit the wall. "You have no where to go." Hiei said, his voice low and dangerous. "Give me the information you found." Hiei ordered. Fuu stared at the computer, she turned the monitor off immediately. Hiei glared at her "You want to go against me?" Fuu screamed as she saw the blade getting near her face. Suddenly someone came and scooped her up from the ground. She looked at him. She was in Ferio's arms. " Ferio!" she called. Ferio grinned at her and put her down. Ferio huge a huge blade with his other hand. He could carry her easily with only one arm around her waist. "Don't touch her." Ferio warned still with that easy smile on his face. "Ferio, where did you get that sword from?" Fuu asked noticing that huge saber. "From my brother in law." Ferio replied smiling at her. She backed up to a corner as she quickly stored all the information she found on her disk. Hiei gave Ferio's shoulder a hard kick, that seemed to stall Ferio for a moment. Hiei than landed on top of the computer monitor, the blade cutting into Fuu's neck, Fuu could feel that a drop of blood was running down her neck. "Quick, do it!" Fuu took a step back, said bravely "I won't." Hiei glared at her "All right then!" the blade moved forward. Fuu closed her eyes as she felt that she was knocked onto the floor. She heard a scream, the blade cut deeply into Ferio's shoulder. Ferio stumbled back. Fuu held on to him. Hiei advanced, Ferio still had the smile on his face, but the pain was also visible on his face. "What the…" a girl's voice was heard from the door. Kaori walked in with Hikaru behind her. "Hiei nii-san, stop it! Fuu-chan was my friend!" Hikaru exclaimed as she dodged in front of her friend "Hikaru-san." Fuu called softly. "Kill me first if you have to kill her!" Hikaru suggested "No, don't!" Fuu called sharply. Ferio lost his conscious due to the lost of blood. Fuu tugged at Hikaru's sleeve as she carried all Ferio's weight. Hiei halted, thinking. "Move off! Hikaru!" Hiei demanded. "Stop it then! Hiei nii-san!" Hikaru shot back. "Kaori-san, give him the information." Fuu said. Kaori asked "What?" Fuu said "Send the information and give him the disk." Kaori smiled, understood Fuu's plan, "All right." "Here you are, the disk." Kaori said handing Hiei the disk. Fuu looked at the monitor, from her angle, she could see that Kaori sent an electric mail to her own computer with all the information on the disk, and including the video clip. And on the screen, she saw that there was a message saying that the disk in the driver was formatted. Hiei looked at her, Kaori switched the monitor off as fast as she finished all the sending work and the formatting work. She tossed the disk to Hiei. "How do I know whether you are playing a trick on me or not?" he asked gruffly. Kaori frowned "Try it out yourself then." Hiei stopped and looked at her. Kaori looked back at him her expression blank. "Hiei! stop all those nonsense now!" Kuwabara's voice broke the deadly silence in the room. "I have no time to take care of all you jerks." He looked first at Hikaru, she was looking at Kaori in bewilderment. Then he looked at Kaori, her expression blank she had her hands on her back. Kuwabara spotted the injured Ferio. Yuusuke jumped into the room. "What the hell?" he barked. Eagle and Lantis got in, surrounded Hiei. A quick fight then happened, it was the fight between Hiei and Yuusuke. They all heard Yuusuke's gasp when Hiei threw his band aside. That revealed the third eye. Eagle and Lantis pulled something out of their pockets. Kaori got a pistol out of her pocket. Lantis and Eagle blocked in front of Hikaru. "Lantis, Eagle!" Hikaru cried. Eagle gave her a pat on her head when Lantis stared at Hiei's blade turning into black flames. "What is that?" a sword made of laser was on Eagle and Lantis's hand. Yuusuke was collecting all the reiki in his body while Hiei advanced him using his sword of flames. The fight was also a very quick one, the two of them seemed to be enjoying it when more people arrived, that included the police women. "Yuusuke san, don't!" Hikaru called. Hiei turned and saw her. Hiei stopped attacking at once. "Hikaru?" Hiei called he saw that the reigan Yuusuke fire was right in front of him. Hikaru leapt from the ground in front of Hiei. Hiei frowned as he quickly pushed her aside. Hikaru landed with a thud. Hiei screamed loudly as the reigan hit him. "Hiei nii-san!" Hikaru rushed to his side. Hiei was knocked out of conscious, but not killed. Hikaru sighed as she slumped into Lantis's arms. "We got to get these people to the hospital." Kuwabara said. "Okay, the ambulance was coming." Keiko said. </pre><p><a href="./">Back</a></p><p><a href=http://www.dreamhost.com/donate.cgi?id=216><img border=0 alt="Donate towards our web hosting bill!" src=https://secure.newdream.net/donate1.gif></a></p></body></html>
