1. Before the Murder
Katsuragi Yako was once a renowned genius in a small hick town in the countryside but, she refused to move up any grades, so, as she moved away she began to hide her true IQ and getting into the best school for food with barely passing grades… her plan, true intent, and goal, mainly the food.
"Sasazuka-san!"
A blonde girl that just started high school waved at the older man, he turned to look in her direction. His occupation was detective work, and he joined the police force to investigate X. There was information in the police data room about every crime committed relating to most criminals. The Person above mentioned in the first paragraph is Katsuragi Yako, the blonde girl. I am Moriki her mini computer.
The story I am about to tell you has never been recorded or shown to anyone before.
"Yako, what is it?" The Silver headed detective inquired, staring at the 16 year old girl. He could already guess and started to take out a cigarette. Taking a long drag, he prepared himself for the soon to be disaster that would come.
"Can I borrow one of your police scooters?" She attentively asked placing both hands together like she was begging.
The older man looked in surprise at her request and then looked at her as if she was joking. She pulled out her license to drive a scooter and then looked at him. He shook his head and at the drop of her had he made a deal.
"If you can solve one mystery for me, any mystery, one that I give you, I'll give you my old scooter." With that Yako perked up at the sound of getting a free scooter for herself. Taking her hand out she shook on the deal with the older man and then rushed off home.
Sasazuka shook his had and turned around, he had to choose a good mystery, one so that his scooter couldn't be taken away. Yako surprisingly, can run nearly as fast as a scooter, I didn't know why she needed one. Later, I would know that it was for long distance not speed.
"Dad! Guess what!" A man probably in his 40s turned around to face his child and feigned confusion, he knew perfectly well that his child had gotten her license for two wheeled and four wheeled vehicles, but that wasn't the surprise.
She smiled.
"Sasazuka san and I made a deal about the scooter and I might get my very own scooter!" The blonde squealed at the top of her lungs. Her father was very surprised as he took his hands out of his ears and thought of something that would make his little genius even happier. He stood up and took his jacket off of the hanger and then tapped Yako on the shoulder.
"Let's got out to eat, my little genius." He said lovingly.
Yako's eyes lighted up and she followed her father like a little duckling. What Yako liked more than anything was me, the mini computer, eating, books and her parents, but she and her father shared one common interest, their eating habits. How they afforded everything, will be told later.
"So, what was the deal?" Her father inquired, his face showing general curiosity.
"I solve whatever mystery he gives me and I get the scooter." She answered while stuffing her face.
Smiling brightly she looks at the look on her father's face. Then, she notices someone familiar staring at them, she waves to him. The man was an old man known as Takeda but still seemed fit enough to outrun a dog. He waves back.
"Oh? So, what are you doing here?" Yako's father looked at the man inquiringly, he seemed a bit off today.
"Takeda-san, you seem really happy today, is something the matter?" Yako gave him a killer smile, one that would knock boys off their feet.
Nervously he answered. "U-Um no, I'm just really excited about tomorrow." He hesitantly said.
Yako thought for a while. It was Takeda's birthday tomorrow, she got an idea, she knew of Takeda's obsession of insects. She decided to get him a spider. She took me out and started typing on the web two days from now Takeda will receive a garden spider that was breed to be the size of her hand.
"It's that time?!" Yako got up and started running, her father left with the bill.
"What time?" Takeda inquired.
Yako's father paled at what Takeda asked, "Yako and the library."
Takeda nodded in understanding, Yako's obsession with books were scarier than her food obsession. If only he knew exactly how scary.
Arriving at the library she immediately went over to the mysteries, she had to stock up on more possible cases that may not be in her mind already. 30 minutes later, Yako was already bored, her creativity over ruling all the things that the culprits did, the things and mistakes they made were boring.
"Hello, is this the mystery part of the library?" Yako looked up to see a rather strange man with… a strange choice of clothes.
"Yes, this is the mystery section, my name is Katsuragi Yako." Yako politely introduced herself. The tall man looked at her with a killer smile, he was pretty handsome but there was something sadistic about the man.
"My name is Neuro." He politely responded.
Looking over at the books he pointed to them and asked a few things such as, 'Which are good', 'Does it end well?', and 'How well is the plot?'. Yako answered with few word sentences and then she continued to read the book she was holding. 5 minutes later she put the book down giving a sigh. Neuro came up to her and picked up the book then looked at her, eyebrow arched.
"What's wrong with the book?" He inquired.
"Got bored, can't understand the text." Yako lied, after all, she did have to act stupid.
He looked at the book in his hand and then skimmed through it. He looked at her then the book and continued to do so until she got annoyed.
"I can understand it." He said, pretty arrogant.
"Good. One thing you're good at." She said nonchalantly. She didn't really care, if you thought about it, solving mysteries are pretty easy if you pay attention enough like hackers to computers and gamers to the TV.
Looking at her clock, she stared at it for 3 minutes, hey why not act like an idiot? Secure the reputation of being average, it helps. As the watch became 5:08 she got up and grabbed her bag then ran off.
"Bye Neuro, bye Mrs. Aminaso!" She rushed out and ran off.
The strange guy, Neuro, walked up to the desk and leaned on the counter. Looking at the exit then facing the old woman as if to ask her a question.
"Interesting girl, does she always discard the books after 5 minutes?" He questioned.
"Mostly." Mrs. Aminaso the librarian answered.
After running for 10 minutes she finally reaches the house, immediately placing her things in her room and started typing. Her main computer had all the documents which made me very jealous the first time I saw it, but once I got to know it, I became friends, don't ask why or how, I just did. Her fingers flied across the letters and on the blank document three letters per second formed.
That night was one I would not forget, the day that the green moon waned and swung out of my sight.
The sentence continued, her fingers rapidly catching up with her words as she mouthed them. A command every 2 seconds, the paragraph soon a short story in 30 minutes.
"Yako, dinner time." Her mother's voice chimed in the room coming from downstairs.
Pausing, with her work Yako moved the small white arrow on the screen and clicked File, Save As, titling it 'Kuro Tsuki, Book 3' The name popped up to countless names of all kinds. If you're still asking how both Yako and her father could afford to eat so much food and still haven't figured it out.
Katsuragi Yako, Best selling author, pseudonym Nana Makai.
Getting up, she picked me up and clipped me to her belt hoop then walked down the stairs, she sniffed the air smelling warm pork and rice. Her mouth started watering and she rushed to the table, it's times like this that I truly fear Yako's four obsessions. Her father and mother greeted her with exceptional pride, her new book of used to be unpublished short stories were released today, ' The Depths'.
"Good job my little genius." her father praised her, he took the first bite.
"Yes, I bought it today, the concept, is rather interesting." Her mother said then took her bite with lady like grace and feminine bites into her food.
Yako dug in without saying anything, she gave both her parents smiles as the buffet fit enough to feed an army was taken in 20 minutes. Wiping her mouth she thanked them for the food and ran upstairs, it was 9 o' clock. Her slumber blissful and without nightmares.
What she didn't know was the tomorrow, some thing horrible was going to happen.
Sorry if this beginning seems a little tacky, I was on a giant writer's block, Asagi Uzumaki will come out during the summer so right now I'm going to post this story, for those of you who have not seen Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, Read/ Watch it!
