A/N(Hikaru No Ribbon): Honestly one of my first fanfiction for an Anime. But at least I tried. To add it in, a collaboration with [insert your name] was really fun. Really hope that this fanfiction work well enough.
It was just a normal spring night and another crime scene took place. The place was pooled up with massive human blood, with the corpse lying in the middle of the crime scene. It had a hole on the body which had his heart gone. And the look on the corpse was devastatingly horrifying to look at.
The team was already there, but still waiting for their VLP. Hijikata, somehow being the most impatient, tapped his feet, wondering if Matsudaira was really late or was not awake from his miscalls. Kondo saw the impatient Hijikata and put his hand on his shoulder to reassure him.
But when Hijikata was about to procrastinate, he heard fast but light footsteps. Speaking of the devil; it was Matsudaira, with a girl. He had to restrain his laughter that he was making a comment in his mind for saying about Matsudaira's choice of women; looks like he likes them extremely young. But it somehow made him look like a pedophile.
"Sorry," he huffed for air as he apologized. The headache from running too fast drilled within his head hard like a jack hammer. "Just got up, and I brought my friend along."
The girl's jade eyes were half-lidded, but revealed them to be cat-like eyes. The aura around her almost made the whole gang to feel uncomfortable, except for Matsudaira. She clutched her chest to balance out her breaths from running alongside with the old man.
"You are extremely late," Hijikata commented. He crossed his arms and continued to tap his feet in rather annoyance.
Matsudaira just rolled his eyes. He always complained about his attendance, but who cares?
The gang turned their attention back at the crime scene. The young girl felt rather uncomfortable. But this time it wasn't her breathing, but the aura that was set in the crime scene. Although she did not show her symptoms of feeling disturbed, but her eyes were avoiding the corpse that was set in front of her was already obvious for Hijikata to know that she is really not comfortable with it.
The gang already started interrogating with people who was at the crime scene. Many people tried to explain to them, but to the gang, none of them made any sense. Heck, all of them had any relation to the victim as well. Most of the answers that they got from the witnesses were "I don't know." Some went into more detailed like "I honestly don't know, and even if I know, I wouldn't even dare mentioning his or even her name that killed him."
The young girl kept silent throughout the entire interrogation process. The fact that the crime scene literally made a scar in her mind made her completely blank in trauma. What they know is that she had a fear for excess blood. A little blood is okay. But to see a gory scene that was right in front of her that was already finished taking place was too much for her to take. And they understand that feeling very well.
But what they didn't know is that the corpse was the young girl's spy. That hit her even more hard than before. Thankfully, she didn't break down in front of everyone. She managed to pull herself together before making yet another scene for everyone to look at. This is indeed embarrassing for her to take.
Hijikata walked behind her and whispered to her ear, honestly didn't care about her getting disturbed for him to do that. "You don't look good."
The young girl pursed her lips before she bit both of her lips, along with biting her inner cheeks. Holding back her feelings that this really scared her almost went into her limit, not knowing that the fact that continued ignoring eye contacts with the team, especially Hijikata himself. This might have hurt her ego, but she didn't care. Now is not the time to even think how the people she knows get hurt and her standing right before someone's death. It was deliberating.
Her eyes somehow glowed. This surprised the gang. How she does it, no one knows. Slowly, her lips moved as though she muttered something out of her mouth. As she stared directly at the corpse, she closed her eyes, biting her lower lips as she excused herself from the crime scene, sighing. Her pace increased, trying to leave the venue as fast as possible before she even break down in front of people she honestly don't know other than Matsudaira.
But just as she was leaving, Matsudaira grabbed her wrist, saying a low "Hey.". The young girl gazed at the older man and then at her grabbed wrist. "You're okay?"
Her only response was a no and a shake of her head.
"So, what's your name anyway?" Hijikata asked her out loud, making it sound like a statement other than a question.
Her eyes glowed yet again, as though she was trying to hurt him for being a smartass egoistic person he is. Although the fact that she is as well, she didn't say anything much. But she knows that these people are willing to help out, no matter how bad some people will try to treat her as, she's trying to cooperate with people.
"Kyoko," she finally said. "My name is Kyoko."
