before i start, you know, i had a lot of trouble handling the OCs since there were more than what I wanted for, even for the C.I.C! ssoooo...i decided to just choose with a randomiser, three random OCs who will be the main members! everyone is like sub member or doesn't really do much. those three main OCs will be mentioned in the last part of the chapter. that's probably it!

warning for this chapter: a perverted Yumeko, and we see things about her that we didn't expect...for you guys. :'D


"Tenma disappeared?" Miharu asked worriedly.

Shindou nodded, "He did. According to sources, he was supposed to walk to the supermarket to buy groceries but then he suddenly disappeared. People said he either got kidnapped or he..."

His voice drifted away and he didn't speak anymore, hesitant to speak about it further. Meanwhile, Miharu wrote down what Shindou said.

"Mmhmm, any other information to share about the problem?" Miharu asked.

"Well," Shindou spoke up, "Well, he also used the Arrow X to go to the supermarket. Many witnesses said he made it to the supermarket so perhaps, he disappeared after going to the groceries. Tsurugi would tell you more of these things, but not today."

Miharu listened to Shindou and continued to write down what he said, "Meeting with Tsurugi, huh?"

"Because I haven't formed up what I think about this situation. Want to form a meeting on Monday?" Tsurugi asked.

"Sure." Miharu replied, "Did you hear that, Yumeko?" she asked her friend and turned around only to see Yumeko...not concentrating at all. She saw that she was by Kirino's side, looking at his hair with shining eyes. Yumeko's hands stroked one of his pigtails.

"Your hair is so soft and pink~" she exclaimed happily as she twirled his hair around her index finger.

Kirino sweatdropped, "Th-Thanks...?"

Yumeko grinned, "Yeah~ you know, Kirino-san, Mi-ch-"

She was cut off almost instantly by Miharu who stood up from her chair, covered her mouth with her hand and Yumeko muffled the rest of her sentence. Kirino stared at Miharu, then Yumeko, then Miharu, then Yumeko again. It repeated around five more times when Miharu grinned and started to speak up.

"Well, Kirino, sorry to bother your time but me and Yumeko better get going! We have some other homeworks to do!" she proclaimed and waved at Kirino, Shindou, and Tsurugi a farewell before leaving the house.

They walked down the path back to Miharu's house, since it was the closest to Shindou's home. On the way, they were quiet and Yumeko noticed how Miharu was glaring at her. She turned to the brown-haired girl, grinning at her.

"Why feeling so happy, Mi-chan?~" Yumeko asked.

"...He almost knew." Miharu stated.

"Who? Kirino-senpai?~" the light pink-haired girl teased her senior. Miharu gave an even more intense glare at Yumeko, yet the said girl didn't flinch or cower.

"You know that me and him are in good terms, and if you tell him that I swear to God that I will-"

"Do what, Mi-chan?~" Yumeko asked. She went closer to her senior's side and tiptoed to be face to face to her. Miharu could feel discomfort when Yumeko went close to her. The light pink-haired girl's eyes looked lifeless to Miharu, "Harm me? Torture me? Kill me by hanging me to a tree or decapitating me? Perhaps push me off a bridge? Why would you be angry at me for such a little tease?"

"B-Because-" Miharu tried stuttering out but Yumeko cut her off and went even closer, making the brown-haired girl to back away from her a little bit.

"Come on, Mi-chan~" Yumeko squealed happily yet with such atrocity in her tone. She held Miharu's hands tightly to hers, "We know so well that you oh-so-love him so much! I can already imagine you both in your marriage and on that night, you and him are having so much fun. Like, I can imagine you going on and on about how much of a monster he is on the b-"

Yumeko didn't get a chance to finish her sentence when Miharu pinned her to the wall of the building they were standing nearby and glared at her. The light pink-haired girl didn't speak any further, seeing how the look on Miharu's face made her realize that she pricked a needle to her patience.

"Usually, I would use my martial art skills for my defense but...the way the situation is now makes me think otherwise." Miharu warned the girl.

"A-Ah, Mi-chan, you don't have to be that harsh...!" Yumeko stuttered.

Miharu blinked twice, glaring at her before she spoke again, "...Don't tease me about that again, alright?"

"...Okay!" Yumeko piped up.

Miharu sighed and let go of Yumeko from the wall, whilst Yumeko grinned at her senior. They didn't speak to each other to avoid further annoyance and started walking down the path again to home.

Suddenly, Miharu heard the ring tone of her phone and she picked it up. It was message from another member of the Crime Investigations Club.

.

Dear Miharu-senpai,

I did a lot of research today! Like, a lot of research...anyways, I have some new information about the rating of kids who own Arrow X from our school!

There are two new people who have said item! If you would like to know the names, tell Yumeko to check her email. Don't ask why. Thanks!

Your friend,

Kirijo Akihiko

.

"Yumeko, I got a text message from Kirijo." Miharu said to her junior.

"Aki-chan? What does she want?" Yumeko asked.

"Well, she said that she has found the names of other people who bought Arrow X and you need to check your email for the names." Miharu replied.

Yumeko's eyes sparkled amongst hearing it, "Oooh! That means we get to meet new people!" she piped up gleefully as she took out her phone.

She swiped through her phone apps until she found the email app, opened it, and found the email that Kirijo sent. She pressed on the message, and two pictures appeared.

One was a picture of a young girl around Yumeko's age: Her hair was the colour of scarlet, reaching her waist and tied in a low ponytail. Strands of her hair framed her forehead and her bangs nearly covered her eyes. Her violet eyes matched with her hair colour. She was smiling at the picture.

The other was a boy this time: His fiery, red hair spiked up a little. And his eyes were at a similar crimson to his hair. On the picture, he held a serious expression.

Their names were Hanaraki Akara and Tsuruga Ren, respectively. And it was stated at the bottom of the pictures, followed by information about them.

"Aka-chan and Ren-kun, huh...they look cute~" Yumeko commented.

"You can't just call them like that, Yumeko! You haven't even met them!" Miharu complained.

Yumeko pouted, "Eeeh, I do what I want, Mi-chan! You're such a downer."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am no-you know what, forget it. Let's just go to my house, eat dinner and watch movies, alright? Our parents are going home late today anyways..." Miharu said with a sigh.

Yumeko jumped up and down, cheering, "Yay!"

...

In Sun Garden, Kirijo Akihiko just sent her text to her senior and email to her captain and laid down on her bed to rest. Finally, after hours of research through hacking the school security system from days ago and her keen eye, it was all paid off. Her vermillion red hair was in a mess, with a low ponytail that falls on her right shoulder. The sharp tipped bangs of her hair point downwards and a few strands of her hair frame her face and fall on her shoulders.

She lied down on her bed, her reddish brown eyes stared into the ceiling, the look on her face showed how tired she looked.

Suddenly, the door opened and another girl entered the room. She had red wavy hair, her black eyes gazed at the other red-haired girl. She wondered how long has she been in that position. Then Kirijo noticed her, and she sat up and greeted the female that entered her domain.

"Ah! Hello Ojou-chan!" Kirijo greeted the girl named "Ojou-chan"

The other female sighed, "Kirijo, don't call me with a "chan"...please?"

"Okay, Ojou-chan!" Kirijo replied happily, unaware of what she said.

Hakko sighed. She knew that Kirijo is the type to be really cheery and happy, and she loved calling people by their first names. There isn't any way to stop her from doing what she wants.

"Yeah," Hakko spoke, "I overheard from outside that you sent in the brand new data to Yumeko?"

Kirijo nodded, "Yeah! I bet they'll try meeting up with Ren-kun and Akara-chan soon."

And then they suddenly heard a ring, and Hakko took out her cellphone and noticed she received a text. It was from another member of the Crime Investigations Club, Mayuzumi Yasuna.

It was unusual for Yasuna to message them, but she did say to them when they first met that she would message them if it was important.

Hakko opened the text, and she read it together with Kirijo

.

Hey Hakko,

I have some delicate information to share. Wish I would share it to the leaders but I think you and Kirijo (betting she's with you when I message this) would like to know it first, since you both are researchers.

Meet me at the candy store near our school.

NOW.

From, Yasuna

.

"Well, seems important, right?" Hakko asked.

"I agree, let's go!" Kirijo exclaimed, taking her jacket to use when she and Hakko would go outside.

"Sure." Hakko said with a smile.

And they left Sun Garden, bidding farewell to Hitomiko before they walked their way to the candy store.
