Title: A Wish upon a Detective

Hiyohiyo's theater: On the latest chapter in manga series of Spiral, Ayumu asked me to make one wish. I'm so excited. What could I wish! This is a once in a life time experience. How about free lunch everyday…No, that wouldn't be. All I have to do is steal his bento everyday.

That's all for Hiyohiyo's theater. Thank you.

A Wish upon a Detective

Hiyohiyo's dream…

Narumi! Why is he running away? Why does he seem so tired? Why am I here? Why can't I help him? Narumi! No…please don't. Who was that guy? Why is he pointing a gun at Narumi's head? Stay away from him. Ayumu…please…don't die!

Hiyono narrating…

Rio, Riyoko, Eyes, Kouske, Kanon, Hizumi…they are all blade children but they turned out to be our close friends. And Ayumu, even if he didn't think he has the power himself at the beginning. I was really happy to be able to help him. The least I can do for him … is to cheer him up every time he looks down.

"Girl with the weird song."

I was actually surprised to see him calling my nickname. But…what am I saying, of course he'll be coming, we have classes today.

"Would you stop calling me girl with the weird song!"

He smiled and I smiled back to him. Smiling makes me feel comfortable.

It didn't take more than a minute before we heard the voices of our friends walking towards us.

"So what's your plan tomorrow Hiyono?" Rio bluffed as she asked me the question. They all seem excited.

"Don't tell me the two of you aren't planning anything for Valentines?" Riyoko shouted at Narumi's ear.

"Valentines?" I almost forgot that special event. It is the day when girls prepare chocolates for the guy they like. I guess things we encounter made me forgot it. Shame of me … and I call myself a journalist.

"What's the big deal?" Ayumu said with a calm tone.

"This guy really. We may expect him to save blade children. We even acknowledge his strength. But I guess we still have something we cannot trust him. How can you be so cruel to your girl friend?" Kouske murmured.

"Girl friend?" I was surprised to hear that. Does Ayumu really have a girl friend? Who is she? I want to know. I want to know.

I immediately put my flaming eyes on him and asked him directly.

"You have a girl friend and you're not even telling me!"

He stared at me for while and then answered. "Yeah, so what's the big deal?" He even said that with a calm tone. How can he be so calm? I hate Ayumu. I hate him. I hate him. He is mean and weird…but what can I do…maybe…maybe…I really like him.

"So what's the news about blade children? Better tell us now if you still have other members."

"You sound so serious this time. Kanon was killed by Hizumi. I guess we're lacking one member now." Kouske murmured.

"So many new names in my list! I want to make a file about this. I will entitle it Detective Ayumu and the Blade Children."

"Ah, Hiyono? Can I ask you a favor?" Rio said as she kept pulling my skirt.

"What is it Rio?"

"Chocolate…can you teach me how…I want to make some or Eyes."

"Oh my…puppy love. How sweet! Of course I'll help you. But first, we need to buy materials. Let's meet after classes ok?"

Rio nodded with excitement.

"Hey, you sure about that? Do you even know how to make chocolates?"

"How could you say that? Of course I know, I'm a girl after all."

"Girl huh…I'm shocked to know that you're a girl."

"NA-RU-MI!" This time I was really irritated.

Ayumu narrating…

That girl's really out of her mind. I already confessed and at the same time ended my true feelings for sis. When she asked me the type of girl I like, I told her maybe even I isn't prepared to be with that kind of girl…but maybe it's really like that. Just like molecules with different charges in chemistry, opposite attracts.

Wait… I guess I better find a safe place to hide my bento for today's lunch time.

Hiyono narrating…

Dismissal time…I went to the mall with Rio and Riyoko. This time, it's an outing for girls. I wonder if Ayumu even misses me when I'm not walking with him after school. Maybe not, I bet he wouldn't bother at all.

Rio: Hey sis. Look at this! How about melon shape chocolate for Eyes? He often gives me cantaloupe as present.

Hiyono: Cantaloupe?

Riyoko: Hiyono…would you mind telling us to whom you will give the chocolate you're planning to make. Why do you have to buy so many molders?

Rio: Riyoko. It's obvious it's for Ayumu.

Riyoko: Then I guess I also have to make some for Kouske. I bet no one will give him any.

Rio: Going back to the topic. Why did you buy so many?

Hiyono: I want to give chocolates to all of you.

Rio: Sis?

Hiyono: At first we really aren't that close with each other. But now, I consider you all as my best friends. So to show you my sincere appreciation for being my friends, I want to give you chocolates.

I was again surprised when the two of them smiled sweetly at me and then hug me. I was really happy. Happiness…what a great emotion!

Valentines Day at Tsukiomi High School…

After distributing chocolates to the blade children…

Hiyono: Narumi! Narumi! Narumi!

Ayumu: Yes, I can hear you.

All of a sudden an arrow almost hit him. Good thing he was able to move fast. Where did that arrow come from? It's just like that dream. I'm starting to be scared. Why do I feel so weak and helpless? Ayumu.

Kouske: Hunter.

Ayumu: Huh!

Hiyono: Why did he aim to hit Narumi?

Rio: They found out that he was helping us. We have to be more careful I bet their boss already knew about Kanon's death. They tried to use Kanon as ace to kill us blade children.

Ayumu: Something's written on it.

Hiyono: (reading the words in the arrow…)

"6:00 p.m., your death waits…"

I suddenly lost balance. Does he really plan to kill Narumi? I can't let him. I don't want him to risk his life.

Rouske: We have to make a plan and hurry.

Ayumu: I'll face him alone.

Rio: Are you crazy?

Ayumu: If I will be afraid of one threat, how am I going to stay alive? I have to believe in myself. Isn't that what you want me to do?

Riyoko: It sure is what we want you to do. But we also want to be part of you. You helped us even though you don't need to. The moment we let you in, it also means you can rely on us.

Rio: Isn't that what sis told us? (looking at Hiyono)

I just smiled. I felt so warm then I cannot hear anything anymore … All that I heard was…them…yelling my name…again…and again…

When I gained consciousness, I found out that Ayumu was carrying me home together with our friends.

Ayumu: You awake?

Hiyono: What about the letter?

Ayumu: Rest first. We'll handle it.

Hiyono: Ayumu…

Ayumu: Huh?

Hiyono: About that wish you said before. I knew what I want now. Promise me you'll do it. You said you would.

Ayumu: What is it then?

Hiyono: Don't die. Promise me you'll be very careful. Promise me.

Ayumu: I…cannot take that as your wish. Of course I'll stay alive. I still have to fulfill your wish. But that cannot be it. I gave that wish for your sake and not for mine. How come you still give that chance to me? Just rest ok. It will be fine. Promise.

Hiyono: Yes.

"Promise." I keep hearing that same word in my imagination. Now I can rest assure that he's safe. It's Narumi after all. It's him.

Ayumu narrating…

Ayumu: I agreed that you come with me. But there's another thing I want you to do.

Blade children: Huh?

Rio: I got it. I'll make sure she's safe and well when you come back.

Ayumu: Thanks.

Kouske: Now, it's time to be ready for another fight.

Riyoko: Detective Ayumu, Princess Hiyono and the Blade Children … that sounds better.
