Ayame just got off the phone when Kyoki, Yuki and Hatori walked into his store.

"Hello Yuki! Hello Tori-san! Hello Ki-chan! Ky-chan you're wearing the cape I made you! That is good!" Ayame said as he ran toward them. "I know why you have come here! Gure-san called me and told me about how madly in love you are madly in love with one of us. Gure-san says that you are going to confess your love to either me, Tori-san or Gure-san today! Is this true, Ki-chan?"

"You Sohma's are so messed up! I didn't come here to confess my love to anyone. I'm not in love with you, Hatori-sama, or Shigure-sama! I'm not in love with any damn Sohma! I just came to talk to you and try to find the damn Sohma who kissed my mom!" Kyoki yelled. She lowered her camcorder. And rewound the tape. "We don't need that part in here." she stopped it and raised it to her eye again. "Now, let's try this again. Did you ever kiss my mom?"

Ayame laughed.

"Aha! So you are the culprit. I knew it was you!" Kyoki said. "Now just look at the camera and confess."

"I never kissed her in a serious way, though. Just a kiss on the check." Ayame said. "But now, lets get onto talking about you and me." A background filled with roses came up behind him. "We were meant to be together! Don't deny our fate, Ky-chan!" he quickly stepped toward her and put his hand under her chin. "Don't you see how well we would look together?!"

"I don't feel so good." Kyoki said as she stepped away from Ayame. "I thought I would be able to find out who kissed her if I just confronted you guys. But I see I have to dig deeper to find the truth."

"We all told you the truth, Ki-chan! We would never lie to you!" Ayame said dramatically. "You're the insane girl that is keeping this story going!"

"What? That doesn't even make sense." Kyoki said.

"Does anything Ayame says make sense?" Hatori said as he closed his eyes. He was starting to get a headache.

"This is not over! I will find out who kissed my mom! And I will find out you big secret! Just wait and see! Soon I will know everything! I'm onto you people!" She then dramatically turned around and ran out of the store. Her cape flowing as she left.

Yuki looked worried. "What if she finds about our curse?"

"She won't find out about that, Yuki! Big brother is here to make sure she doesn't find out about us!" Ayame smiled.

"We should be careful. She is bound to learn the truth sooner or later." Hatori said.

"Yes! I am bound to learn the truth! So you better watch out!" Kyoki said as she came back into the store.

"Ah! Ki-chan, you have come back to me! You realized we couldn't be apart anymore!" Ayame yelled happily. "I am so happy!"

"No… I came back cuz I need a ride home. I need to go home ASAP so I can analyze everything that happened today." Kyoki said.

"Ok. Let's go." Hatori said.

"Bye, Nii-san." Yuki said as he left the store.

"Ki-chan! You can't leave before we hug and kiss." Ayame said as he began to run toward Kyoki.

Kyoki took a few steps back.

Hatori grabbed onto Ayame's shirt and pulled him back. "Leave her alone."

"Yes, Tori-san! Ja bye bye then!" Ayame waved.

"Wow! That was amazing." Kyoki said as she looked at Hatori. "Bye Ayame!" she ran out of the store and into the car.

Hatori followed her.

After Hatori dropped me off at home, I went right to my secret headquarters, aka, my basement. I sat down and replayed everything that I recorded. I then pulled out my tape recorder.

"My mother recently got divorced from my step dad. I think I already said that on this tape, but oh well. Who could the suspect be? It could be one of the other Sohma's, but they don't come to my house. Why would other Sohmas besides those three be at my house? It makes no sense. Or perhaps it is all just one cover up. Maybe it is part of their trick to cover up their secret. Such as why do all those Sohma's live in that big compound of a place? Why are the Sohma's so successful? There must be a reason. I just want to know their secret to success so I can some day be rich and powerful like that. But now this with my mom and one of the Sohmas.

"And I still haven't decided who I should use as my inside Sohma. Yuki or Ayame seem like good candidates. Well, maybe not Yuki. But Ayame would most likely do anything I tell him to do. Or not. I think I would need Hatori to control Ayame. And Hatori probably wouldn't want to help me. But I could get Momiji to help me. I don't know him that well, but he seems like a nice kid." I sat there and thought for a while.

I accidentally fell asleep and woke up when I felt another presence in the room. I looked around and saw small movement in the corner of my eye. I turned and saw Yume-chan.

"Hey! Sorry if I woke you up." she said.

"It's ok." I sat up. "We'll have to try something else. None of them cracked."

"You're still on this. Let it go, Kyoki-chan. It was only one kiss."

"One kiss can lend to many other things. I don't want my mom to get hurt. I heard that Sohma's always have relationships that turn out bad."

"That's not true." Yume said.

"How do you know?" I asked my cousin.

"I don't know." Yume said.

"Aha! I'm going to bring each one of them here and question them. What's Shigure's phone number. I'm going to start with him." I said as I began to push buttons on my laptop.

"It's 5-" Yume began.

"Oh, I was talking to my computer. Sorry." I said. "I usually talk to myself. I forgot you were here." I said nervously.

"Oh. I see. It's ok." Yume smiled.

I grabbed my cell phone and began to dial Shigure's phone number. "Hello, Shigure… No I did not call you to tell you that I'm in love with you. Get over it. I don't like you like that…will you just shut-up so I can tell you why I called? Will you come over to my house, like ASAP so I do the second part of my investigation? And come alone." I hung up the phone before I had to hear any more of Shigure's whining. I think that out of all the older Sohma's, Hatori's the only one who acts his age.

I turned to Yume. "He's on his way."

"Shigure thinks you're in love with him?" Yume asked.

"Yea. So does Ayame." I said. "Who knows about how Hatori feels. Anywho. On this mission, I want you to follow me and Shigure around, but stay out of sight. And I want you to film everything that happens. Can you do that?'

Yume nodded.

"Ok. Good. Now excuse me while I go set everything up." I got up and ran upstairs.

A half hour later, Shigure came in, followed by Kyou.

"Um, hello, you guys. Shigure, I told you to come alone." I whispered to Shigure. Why the hell was Kyou here. Did he come here to see my mom? Is he a suspect too? Too many suspects and not enough evidence.

Tears began to flow down his face. "I know, but Kyou-chan said that if I didn't take him with me, he would kill me. Now we can't have our romantic night alone."

"When will you get it through your thick skull that I do not have any feelings like that towards you. Like I said on the phone, I called you here to go through the second part of my investigation." I told him. But I don't think he was listening to me.

"Where's Yume-chan?" Kyou asked me.

I totally forgot he was there and it made me jump when he talked. "Why do you want Yume-chan? Why do you think Yume-chan is here? Yume-chan isn't here all the time, you know. Yume-chan could be at her house right now. Why are you so concerned about Yume-chans whereabouts?"

"Think you said her name enough." Kyou growled.

"I like saying Yume-chan. It's fun to say. Do you have a problem with that, mister Kyou-chan?" I said.

"Where's Yume-chan? We have to uh, do some project from school," he said.

"Hmmm. That would make sense, if you were in the same class. But since you're not even in the same grade, I will have to question your reasoning." I told him. Something fishy was going on. Why was this orange haired guy asking for Yume? And why were his eyes a reddish-brown? And why do they call bell-bottoms bell-bottoms when there are obviously no bells on the bottom of the pants? It makes no sense.

"Hey Kyou-kun, why are you here?" Yume said as she walked over to Kyou and the others. "Hi Shigure-san."

Shigure waved.

"Hi. I came over to work on, the uh, project from school." he said.

"Oh, yea. Now I remember." Yume said.

"Hey! Wait a minute. We're in the same class Kyou, I didn't get no project!" I said. At least I don't remember about any projects we had to do.

"It's a optional project. Just shut-up and mind your own business." Kyou said.

"I'll mind my own business when the day comes that all mice and cats get along and pigs can fly." I yelled at him as those two walked away.

"Aren't they cute?" Shigure sighed.

"No. What are you talking about?" Sohma's say the craziest crap. Yume and Kyou cute together. That is so not cool. I took Shigure's hand and lend him toward the hall where I saw my mom and a Sohma kiss.

"Does this hallway look familiar?" I asked him.

Shigure looked around the hallway. "Yea. It leads to the bathroom. And to the stairs. Why?"

"Did you ever do anything here before?" I asked him. He seemed unfazed. Maybe Shigure wasn't the right suspect.

Shigure nodded.

"Such as?" I asked him.

"Walking." He smiled.

"Anything besides that?" I asked him.

"No, not that I can think of." Shigure said.

"I have to go to the bathroom. Can you go back to the living room? I'll do the final questioning there." I told him.

Shigure turned and walked down the hall. When he was gone, I rushed to the bathroom.

"So, Kyoki doesn't know about, you know?" Kyou asked.

"No. And it should stay that way. If she knew about us, she would lose it." Yume said.

"Why?" Kyou asked.

"She'd think I was siding with the you Sohma's." Yume said.

They had just passed Shigure in the hall a few seconds ago. They were heading to the bathroom because Kyou had to go and didn't know that way there himself.

They stopped in the hall a few feet from the bathroom.

"I really don't want us to hide our relationship from Kyoki-chan anymore. But…" Yume said.

"I know. If she did find out, she would send that mouse after me everyday." Kyou smiled.

"Yea." Yume smiled back. "I love you, Kyou-kun."

Kyou leaned down and they both kissed.

I came out of the bathroom and was started to see Kyou and Yume in the middle of the hall kissing. And then it hit me. They look just like that shadow I saw a few nights before. So it wasn't my mom or Shigure, Hatori, or Ayame. But it was a Sohma. But it was my cousin. How? What has the world come too?

"Yume-chan…?" I asked.

The two of them stopped kissing. Yume looked shocked.

"Kyoki-chan. I, um, we…." Yume said. "I really like Kyou-kun, Kyoki-chan."

I smiled because I got a wonderful idea. Yume-chan could get close to Kyou-kun. I would be the third wheel and Kyou-kun would be my ticket to the prized secret.

"Aww! You two are so cute!" I smiled. I couldn't help my good luck today. I solved the case and found something to help me with the bigger case.

"What? You're not mad?" Yume said.

"Yume-chan, you're so cute. Why would I be mad?" I asked.

Yume-chan couldn't come up with anything to say.

"Well I'll just leave you two alone. I have to get rid of Shigure now." I told him. I walked down the hall and began to laugh. This would be easier than I thought. Before I could move on with my plans, I had to get the pervert out of my house.

To be continued…

So yea, that was the end of that case. I have lots of good ideas for other cases. Sorry if this case was kinda, well, odd. Sorry.
