Author's Note:

So, here's the second chapter. Not much really. It took forever to get it up because I was lazy. D: I think I'll post both the second and last (third) chapter tonight. Also, had to reboot my computer and didn't know if I had saved this to anything, so that's part of the reason I didn't get it up. Anyways, enjoy.

Chapter 2: The Murderer is...

I tentatively pushed on it and it moved again. I then pushed harder and a doorway opened in the wall. It suprised me, but I quickly recouperated. Approaching the wall, I heard someone talking again. They sounded like they were on a phone because I could only hear one voice.

I stuck my head in and looked to the left. There was a woman standing there on a cell phone. She had blonde hair, like the other two I had met, but here's was wierd looking. They had two pieces sticking up from her head, kind of like antenae.

She looked over as she became aware of my presence and said goodbye to whoever she was talking to. I walked in to the secret passage and closed the door as she put the phone in her pocket.

"Who're you?" she said angrily.

"I'm the detective hired to solve this murder. My names Jenny. Sorry to disturb you, but I heard you talking from the dining room and found this passage by accident."

She looked at me skeptically, like she thought I was lying. "Detective? Aren't you a little young? Well, whatever. I guess you wanna question me right? Oh, and my name's Larxene if you hadn't already known."

"Smart, aren't you? Of course. I'd just like to know where you were during the murder,"I replied.

"I was with Zexion. He needed a "girl's opinion" or some shit. I dunno why. We were in the guest room the whole time until we heard Roxas screaming like a girl about Xemnas being dead. Happy?" she snapped.

She glared at me as I thought over what she said, finding something wierd about it. I snapped out of my thoughts as she walked past me. "Oh. Sorry. I was just thinking. Thanks for your--," I was cut off as she opened the door and slammed it shut.

"A little bitchy today, are we?" I mumbled to myself and went to follow her out. There was a problem though. When I went to open the door, it wasn't in the same place it had been. I was confused and then started going down the wall and pushing.

As I got to the end of the wall, I found the door. It had moved from its place of a few seconds ago and I decided it would be good to get out of there.

When I opened the door, I saw that there were stairs. This house sure is wierd... I started walking down them and when I came to the bottom there was a door. I opened it to find myself in the living room. Nobody was in it.

I looked around then quickly headed toward the door, intent upon finding who had killed Xemnas. Then it clicked.

Roxas had said he had been with Larxene, but Larxene had been with Zexion. That meant that Roxas had killed Xemnas. Or so it would seem...

I walked into the kitchen after having sat in the living room, thinking over what I had discovered. If Roxas HAD killed Xemnas, all I needed to do was find out HOW he killled him and WHERE he killed him. But I wouldn't be able to do that without my magnifying glass, so I set out to found it.

No one was in the kitchen either, but I noticed another door that lead to what appeared to be a pantry. I headed for it.

As I opened the door, I noticed someone in the corner, shuffling around the cans. He had silvery-blue hair that crossed over his right eye. He didn't seem very friendly as he turned towards me.

"Can I help you?" he asked politely, though a little impatiently.

"Yes, actually," I smiled. "I'd like to know where you were during the murder. You see, I'm the detective that was hired."

He looked at me like Larxene had, like he thought I was lying, but answered none-the-less. "I was with Larxene in the guest room."

He short answer didn't suprise me much. He didn't seem like one who liked to talk.

"Okay then. Thanks. I'll just be leaving," I said as I turned and exited the pantry.

This confirms it. Roxas killed him. Now, I just needed to figure out how...

In another part of the house, Roxas sat contemplating what he would do.

I won't let anyone find out it was me. And the only way to ensure that is to get rid of that detective.

He stood up, a determined look on his face, and walked out of the room.

I walked out of the kitchen and down the hall, heading towards the stairs. I decided, as I climbed the stairs, to start at the end of the hall.

As I reached the top of the stairs, I saw another flash of blue walk into the second door on my left. I was almost about to follow them, but decided they'd probably still be there after I checked one other room.

So I headed to the last door on the left-hand side of the hallway. It said "Master Bathroom" on it, so I knocked before entering. Thankfully, no one was in it.

Why am I even bothering to check in a BATHROOM? I mean rea-- Wait, what's that? I approached the counter that was next to the toilet. It had a mirror hanging above it. But what was ON the counter was what I was looking at.

It was my magnifying glass. I was shocked. I knew I had brought it with me, but I had never even set foot into this bathroom, let alone gone upstairs when I first entered the house. I picked it up and examined it. It looked fine. Nothing was broken. I pocketed it and left the bathroom, seeing as I wasn't going to find anyone in there.

I decided to go into the room that the person had disappeared into. It was the library. I knocked lightly and opened the door.

The library was sparcely furnished. It had a few bookshelves packed with books on the farthest wall, a fireplace to my right, and two comfy-looking chairs in front of it. The walls were a light blue and the carpet was black.

I saw something out of the corner of my eye and turned. I finally knew what that flash of blue had been. It was someone's hair.

The guy was tall, with long blue hair. It didn't make him look girly though. He had a scar in the shape of an 'X' between his eyes and he was scowling.

"Who're you and why are you in this house? I don't think anyone invited you," he said darkly.

I was shocked by how angry he seemed. I stepped into the room fully and shut the door slightly. It wouldn't do if he got angry and I had to worry about opening a door to get away...

"I'm sorry to intrude. I'm the detective that was hired to solve this... case," I said nervously. "My name's Jenny."

"Detective? We don't need a detective," he snapped.

Denial much? I mused too myself.

"Well, even if you don't, I'm already here. And really, I've pretty much solved this case. If you could just give me an alibi, I'll be on my way."

He didn't answer, just stared at the floor. I was about to leave when he looked up.

"I was alone in the dining room," he said as he walked past me. "And it would be best if you searched this room carefully."

He walked out and shut the door. I was slightly suprised in his change of attitude, but then remembered what he said.

Search for what though? It doesn't look like this room is out of the ordinary... Wait, he was staring at the floor before he answered me. Maybe...

I took out my magnifying glass and approached the spot where he had been standing. I looked down and spotted something on the carpet. I crouched and slowly examined the spot. I gasped.

It was blood.
