Chapter One-

Violet Hill

He had only noticed it then after she came to stay with him that something was wrong. He would stay at his usual spot on the couch, eyes closed, even though he could hear her come from the small bedroom behind one of the many bookshelves. She would come at around midnight, her shuffling feet only softened by the hardwood floor, and she made her way to the computer for her and Neuro. She would sign in, the clacking of the keys making him know at least how long her password might be. He had tried to get the password many times, but everything he put in was wrong.

She would sit there, staring at something on the screen, or a file she had left open. And she would sit there. And read. Her body not moving much other than maybe her feet shuffling and maybe a small yawn. She would stay there like that until three or four in the morning, reading something. When she was finished she would sign out the computer and go back to bed, and Neuro would try and figure out the puzzle. The gears clicked in his mind as he tried to find the password, using normal things like names, birthdays and her favorite things.

But nothing seemed to work. Sighing he eventually shut off the computer and went back to sleep. Oh yes, he could obviously just hack into the computer, but for some reason, he couldn't do it. Not to her. He turned his body to face the soft leather of the couch and soon sleep began to claim him, and he smiled, thinking of the one he chose to care about. The little blond glutton with her smile.

The days seemed to go buy, and the pattern repeated herself, as well as the girl, living dead, and he began to worry for her. He would let her sleep later, and not let her accompany her on missions. Sasazuka and the others wondered why he was there alone, and he had- of course putting on his 'innocent' face, said that she was letting him work on cases alone. "To better my own talent with out Sensei!" He once said, though he knew that the better of the men, Sasazuka, knew better. When he did see Yako, she seemed different, distant. Crime scenes didn't effect her as much, and she would just state the facts and follow Neuro's advice and words, usually throwing something in as well. He needed to know that she was okay. He couldn't lose someone again.

He contacted Neuro one day, when it seemed for once, there were no mysteries to be solved. Yako was staying at her friends house, and it was only the two. "You wished to speak wit him." Neuro said in his innocent tone. "Drop that tone, Neuro. I know what you are." He said, lighting a cigarette and taking a pull. The smoke lazily made it's way out of Sasazuka's mouth and past his nose and up into the wavering air, eventually hitting a fan. "What is wrong with Yako. Since her mother moved to live in Osaka, she's acted different." He said, looking directly into Neuro's eyes.

He was silent for a moment, the demons eyes ticking with the thoughts of a million different reasons that he could know of. "I don't know." He finally answered. Sasazuka looked at him, almost astounded. He knew that the demon had an answer, an explination for everything. But this was different. It wasn't a puzzle, it was a human, a fragile girls heart that was seemingly being torn apart by something. "Have you not asked her?" He said, taking another deep pull, though it was half hearted and he coughed. "No."

"Why not?"

"She'll tell me when she's ready." He said softly.

Another time, Sasazuka was shocked. He had never seen the look in Neuro's eyes. Ever. The look was different than he had given anyone that he had seen. It was filled with worry, and something else. Something he couldn't place with the puzzle-eating demon. "Alright then. I guess that's it. Maybe, if you think she needs help, send her over to me. I can probably help her more than you." There was a sharp laugh from him and Sasazuka had to look up. Neuro's eyes were glowing. "You think you could really take her away from me?"

He was shocked at the comment. He knew it meant more than what it seemed to be, and Sasazuka had to smile. "I can try. She seems to not be with you." Just then the door open and Kyoko and Yako came inside. Both men's heart skipped a beat when they saw her. She was smiling, happy and they were giggling about random things, holding souvenirs. "Kyoko drove me to the office, but she's heading out now- Officer Sasazuka!" Yako's smile widened a bit as her friend bid her farewell with a kiss on the cheek and the quick handing off most of the things she had gotten.

Yako waved her off before closing the door with her back, looking at the other two. She could almost smell the air of tension, setting her stuff down on the couch. "What were… you guys talking about?" She asked softly, looking between the two of them. "We were talking about a case that seemed to appear out of no where, and the officer decided to come to me." He said softly, calmer than normal. Sasazuka stood, crushing the spent cigarette into the ashtray Neuro offered and bowed to him. "Thank you for seeing me Neuro, I will get back to the case later." He said, giving Yako a sweet look and ruffling her hair before making his way out.
