~~~Chapter One~~~

~~~Yuuki's POV~~~

I watch as Yako gets ready for school. She spent to long eating breakfast instead of leaving when she should. Yako has short blonde hair and golden brown eyes. On either side of her head, she has a pair of red hair-clips that look like a grinning mouth with sharp teeth.

Her school uniform is a white shirt with a red bow, pink sweater, grey skirt, black socks and brown shoes.

As soon as she is ready she runs out of the house with a quick shouted goodbye. I couldn't help but shake my head and roll my emerald green eyes before gazing at myself. I'm still wearing my towel from my shower.

I head to my room. My walls are celeste blue with the floor being wooden. On my back wall, in the centre is my king sized bed with emerald green square pillows and quilt. At the end of my bed is my sapphire blue bed throw. On either side, of my bed, there is a side table which is blue. One has a blue lamp on it and an alarm clock while the other has a case filled with lilies and a frame with a photograph of Yako, Mama, Papa and me. Underneath the bed is a sapphire blue fluffy rug.

On the right of my room, there is a large window with a window seat that has emerald green pillows and cushion placed on it. To the left of my room, there is my large white wardrobe with sapphire blue handles in the centre. To the right of that, there is my white bookcase with 6 shelves filled with books. To the left, there is an L shaped white desk. On the left of the desk, there is another blue lamp. On the right of the desk, there are all of my school books. Under the desk are my white chair and a small white set of draws with sapphire blue handles. Above the desk, there is a whiteboard with dates written on it and above this is another white shelf that has more books placed on it.

On my front wall either side of my door, there area few frames hanging up. Pictures of Yako and me, Mama and me, Papa and me, Yako, Papa and me, and Yako, Mama and me. On the right side of my door, I have a vanity table with a medium-sized oval mirror, with a chair and a few draws with sapphire blue handles.

I head to my wardrobe and take out a ruby strapless D Cup bra and boyshorts. I change into an antique ruby and black princess style strapped dress. The top part of the dress is antique ruby lined with black while the bottom is black with an antique ruby ruffle around the bottom. Around the waist is a black corset with black ribbons. Antique ruby thigh socks with a ribbon bow on the side, black lace up high heels and a black ribbon choker with a black heart.

I sit at my vanity table and open the top drawer, taking out my green brush. I open the centre drawer and take out a black ribbon. I brush my long, wavy blonde hair that reaches my hips until is it shiny and smooth. I pull part of my hair into a ponytail with a few braids down the centre and a single one in my fringe tied with a black ribbon bow. Two thick strands of hair rest over my shoulders ending just below my breasts.

I pick up my black pouch bag. Inside is my phone, purse, hand sanitizer and lotion, lip balm, nail kit, hair ribbons mostly black, hairbrush, and hand mirror inside a silver case, house keys, a few pens and a notebook. Not to mention a mini bag filled with some of my leftover chocolate, the ones Yako doesn't know about. I also have a few Japanese recipe books and couple cans of deodorant with Jasmine and Lily scent. My bag has an extension charm on it so even though it is small I can easily fit a lot inside. And only I can open my bag just in case. I also put in my invisibility cloak and the elder wand, just in case.

I put on my coat as I leave my room. My coat is light red and goes across the shoulders with a red bow on the right side. 6 gold buttons going down the centre of the coat with the red cuffs off the coat also having 3 gold buttons down one side

I head outside to all the shops. I have a while before Yako finishes school. Sharp pain comes from my abdomen. I forgot about that...my time of the month. The first thing I get is some ibuprofen, going to need some. Next, I got to get some chocolate and I mean a lot of chocolate and drinking chocolate. We run out quickly due to Yako's constant eating.

It is now lunchtime so I head to a cafe and get a bowl of fries and a hot chocolate. I end up getting another bowl due to being hungry. With lunch out of the way, it is now nearly time for Yako to finish school. The last place I head to is to the grocery store to get some food to place in the office.

On the way back to the office I see Yako running up the stairs. I follow after her at a slower pace. I step behind her as she opens the office door, hands on her knees while breathing heavily. "Sorry, I'm late!"

"I'm back," I state softly walking around Yako, heading towards the kitchen.

Neuro turns around to look at us. "Sensei! Yuuki! We've been waiting!"

Neuro is a tall handsome young man in a blue suit and black shoes and gloves. His blue coat has yellow triangular buttons and he wears a white sleeveless shirt underneath his coat. Neuro's hair is mostly yellow with three reddish-black bangs in front. He keeps triangular hairclips at the tips of his hair which, when tied together or bitten into providing Neuro with demonic energy.

He walks towards Yako. "The client's been waiting for a while now." He bends down so he is close to Yako. Green marking appear on the right side if his face and glow. "You dated to make me wait for you...Quite bold for a servant." He has his glove off and it poking Yako's cheek with his claw.

Neuro's appearance isn't fully human. He still has his sharp teeth, claws which are underneath his gloves and his vibrant green eyes. Not to mention that his black bangs stand when he senses a mystery nearby, acting exactly like a radar.

I watch as I pack everything away in the cupboards and fridge. It is amusing to how they act around other people, well Neuro anyway

"Um..." The client speaks up as he stands. He bows. 'I'm sorry to be bothering you when you're so busy."

"It's not like that, I'm totally not..." Yako starts but stops as Neuro turns her head the other way.

"Ahh...yes." He lets go if Yako's head and looks at the client. A man with short black hair and eyes and is wearing a white shirt, black bow tie and light black suit. "Because of clients everywhere, Sensei is always running about. But, that aside, please lead us to the business that received the threat letter."

Yako pops her head over Neuro's shoulder. "Threat letter?"

Neuro ignores her turns to the side pushing her in the process and moves his hand towards the door. "Please, go ahead."

"Uhh...All right, let us go then." He states looking at his watch.

"H-Hey, Neuro! I didn't hear anything about this."

Neuro abruptly turn to look at Yako, his sweet appearance gone, pointing his finger at her. "A brain more primitive than a worm's has no need to hear about it. Just keep your mouth shut and act the role of the detective." He abruptly turns again and points at Godai. "And you mind the house, understand?"

Godai has short bleached blonde Haru and black eyes. He is wearing a red shirt, black trousers, brown shoes and a silver chain with a rectangular charm. "I'm not gonna follow your orders."

Neuro points to the left of him. "I've left your food right there."

"Are you even listening to me? ISN'T THAT DOG FOOD?!" He shouts as we leave and close the door.

~~~Outside the Supreme Shirota~~~

"I know this place! This is the Supreme Shirota framed for dishes that bring success, right?" Yako exclaims.

"Dishes that bring success."

"Yeah, I've heard that people who had French cooking here actually experience miracles!" Yako states before running near the door. "'Bliss will envelop you, and you will gain the strength to win in all contests. Doubts will leave you, and success will knock on your door!'" She begins to drool and stars twinkle in her eyes. "Just what kind of cooking could it be? Even if just a single time, I've wanted to try it so much!"

Neuro appears behind her and squeezes her cheeks together with his hand. "You seem to know a lot about food, even though your brain is below a pig's."

"Please, detectives, come in. The owner and head chef is already awaiting you." The client stops and looks behind us. "Inspectors! You came at a good time."

"Inspectors?" Yako questions.

"Yes...Things being as they are..."

"You're making very sure, I see. Was it your idea?" Neuro queries.

"No, it was the owner's."

"Ah, I see."

"Well then, please come in. The owner wishes to welcome everyone."

I sense someone's gaze on my and Yako and though Yako looks I only look briefly before looking away. The young inspector has black spiky hair, brown eyes and is wearing a white shirt, light red tie, blue suit and black shoes.

The other inspector has short grey hair, brown eyes and is wearing a white shirt button loose, black tie also loose, beige suit and brown shoes.

I walk inside the door and freeze briefly but not long enough for anyone to notice, well Neuro probably, but that is to be expected.

"Ahh! It's beginning to smell really good!" Yako exclaims happily as we walk down the corridor.

"Yeah...it's goods." Neuro agrees. "The smell of mystery is thickening. Something is going to happen here soon."

Yako looks surprised but Neuro doesn't answer. The client stops at a kitchen. "This is the main kitchen. Besides this one, there are two personal kitchens."

Hearts appear around Yako. "Amazing!"

A man with blonde hair in a low ponytail wearing a white chef uniform with a red tie walks through the smoke. "Owner!"

"What a surprise...You must be the detectives and the inspectors. My deepest apologies for having you specially come here. I am the owner-chef of this establishment, Shirota."

"This kitchen is really spacious, isn't it?" One of the inspectors points out. "And there is even a personal kitchen?"

"Yes...Only a select few may prepare the main dishes here. Which is why two kitchens have been set aside for the Chief and me." Shirota looks behind him. "That over there is my right-hand man, the Chief Chef of this restaurant, Unno. But, enough about this, let us talk in my office."

I look at the Chief Chef briefly, my eyes glowing, giving me certain knowledge before they go back to normal, their usual bright emerald green.

~~~3rd POV~~~

What Yuuki didn't realize was that Neuro saw her eyes glow, eerily similar to the ways his own are doing though he knows she is not a demon but not a human either. A smirk appears on his face as his eyes gain more curiosity as his gaze rests upon her.

Yuuki feels his gaze and locks eyes with him and gives him a soft smile, again not realizing her eyes glowing in time with his, gaining his interest even more as his heart skips a beat before going back to its normal speed.

~~~Yuuki's POV~~~

~~~Shirota's Office~~~

Shirota sits at his desk and the client stands to the side out if the way. Yako and I sit on the couch, the inspectors sit on the two chairs while Neuro stands next to the couch, near me, arms behind his back. "Now, about the threatening letter?"

"This is it."He gets it out of his desk. The cheerful inspector gets up and goes to the desk. "'This restaurant should not exist. Before long, Heaven will unleash its judgement."

Shirota pushes back his chair and stands up. "I thought it was a small prank at first, but they kept arriving, so I couldn't simply ignore them anymore." He turns and gives us his back, arms behind him. "If by some small chance something happened, our reputation would be tainted."

"For now, we will have personnel patrol here several times a day."

There is a loud crash followed by a woman's scream. The two inspectors run out of the room. Yako looks at Neuro who has his eyes closed. "Neuro, don't tell me..."

He opens his eyes, a smirk on his face. "Yes...the mystery has just finished cooking."

Yako runs after the others while Neuro and I walk at our usual pace. The Chief Chef, Unno is laying on his back, arms in the air covered in the hot red sauce.

We head back to Shirota's Office. The cheerful inspector starts reading from his notebook. "The victim is Chief Chef of this restaurant, Unno Kouji. He was taken to the hospital immediately, but he appeared to have died instantly. The cause of death seems to have been bludgeoning from behind with a blunt weapon."

"A blunt weapon?" Yako questions.

"It was carried out with amazing force, beyond what should be humanly possible."

"Amazing force?" The other inspector queries.

"Yeah. According to the testimony of the employees, after Unno entered his personal kitchen, he never left once. No one entered his kitchen either. Time of the incident...would be after we saw the victim and during the time we were chatting in the office. About ten minutes in." He closes his notebook. "That's about all we know. The back entrance was open, so the culprit probably fled through there."

I see Yako look at the floor out the corner of my eye but my attention is gained by Shirota when he speaks up, sounding upset. He has his head bowed and fingers entwined. "Please, catch that criminal! The thought of never being able to see Unno again...I...I..."

Neuro steps from behind the couch. "We too would've liked to meet him while he was alive if you had only introduced us at that time."

"What?"

Neuro sweet face appears. "That's what Sensei here said!"

Yako stands up annoyed. "Hey!"

Neuro turns towards us and grabs a hold of Yako's head, lifting her off the ground. He holds out his other hand, I place my hand in his and he gently pulls me off the couch before reluctantly letting go. "Well, Sensei, Yuuki, let's go investigate!"

~~~Unno's Private Kitchen~~~

Neuro gazes down at where Unno's body once was, I stand at the end of the counter while Yako falls to her knees at the side of said counter as she looks at the dish that has been left there. "This! This is the dish! The ultimate dish that they say will bring success!" She drools.

"Oh? Miss Tantei-san is quite knowledgeable, it seems." Shirota comments as he leans against the door, arms folded across his chest. "That dish is..."

Stars appear in Yako's eyes. "Roasted salted duck breast with lemon endive sauce! So good! I wonder how good it really is!"

"Do you want to try it?"

"Really? Is it really okay?"

"Yeah, it'd be a waste to throw it away."

The inspectors walk and stop near Shirota as Yako pulls the plate closer to her. "It-tadakimasu!" Yako exclaims with a large smile. She takes a bite of the duck breast. "Delicious! But...Somehow, this is not cooking. This dish insults the concept of eating."

A smirk appears on Neuro's face while the inspectors look surprised.

"Unreasonable!" Shirota states. His head is bowed as his top part of his face is covered by his hand. "A m-mere h-high school kid...insulting my cooking!" He points at Yako, face still covered. "You ill-mannered brat!"

Yako looks up, snapped out of her thoughts. "I'm sorry, I didn't intend to-"

"You detectives are fired, get out of here! I'm going to prepare the ultimate dish now-all of you, stay out!" He shouts as he slams the door behind him.

There is silence until the older inspector breaks it. "You got him mad."

The cheerful one stomps his feet on the floor. "You're obstructing police work! Get out!"

Yako pales and bows her head. "Sorry."

We leave. Yako sits against the wall, legs held to her chest. I lean against the wall next to her while Neuro stands in front of me, arms folded. He looks down at Yako. "You idiot. The mystery has withdrawn into its shell."

"But...I only expressed my true feelings."

"I, who came from the Demon World, will starve to death without mysteries to consume. But before that happens, I will consume your brain." He puts his hand on her head and pulls her nose.

"Nose! Nose! Nose!" Yako shouts until he lets go. She rubs her sore nose with her jumper. "I don't really understand it, but in the same way that you like mysteries, I love to eat. I eat when I'm happy, and also when I'm lonely. While I'm eating, I can forget about unpleasant things." She looks up at Neuro. "I can feel happiness! But that dish...Even though it was delicious, I didn't feel any happiness. In fact, it was somehow scary and chilling!" Neuro moves to the other wall in front of us and moves his hand about as Yako continues talking. "Even if you could gain success from that, would anyone truly be happy?"

Neuro is still searching for something on the wall as he replies. "I see...The trick in all of this is becoming clear. After seeing your reaction, I am now interested in the true nature of that dish." He takes off his jacket and throws it. I catch it before it lands on the floor and folds it over my arm.

I watch fascinated as below his upper arms turn purple. A split second later he is holding a sharp purple and gold pointed blade. "777 TOOLS OF THE DEMON WORLD. EVIL JAVELIN!" He slashes the blade in front of him. He lands back on the ground after a few seconds. "This is not a javelin that cuts matter." The javelin disappears and turns into a screen. "Rather, it analyzes the composition of the matter it passes through. I see." Neuro's eyes glow green, a smirk on his face. "This mystery is already on the tip of my tongue."

I hand Neuro back his jacket which he quickly places back on, inpatient. No doubt, wanting to eat the mystery.

~~~Shirota's Private Kitchen~~~

We head into the kitchen that Shirota stormed off too. The two inspectors follow after us as we walk through the closed door.

"What business do you have?" Shirota demands.

"Business? Does that even need to be asked, Chef Shirota? We've discovered the identity of the culprit."

What?"

"Now, with that finger, point out the culprit!" Neuro states, eyes glowing.

A green outline appears around Yako's right arm. Her hand stretches wide before falling closed. Her arm slowly lifts in the air to stop above her head. "The culprit is...You!" Yako declares pointing straight at Shirota.

The inspectors look surprised. Shirota did briefly before a slight smirk appeared on his face. "Hmph. Even rudeness has its limits." He turns to the side. "You all saw him alive and well earlier, didn't you? After that point, I was with you the entire time. All of you are my witnesses."

"Indeed." Neuro agrees. "And you, to obtain that alibi, purposely called us here. Police and renowned detectives...There are indeed no better witnesses than these. We did not actually see the victim alive. We only saw him standing. Amongst the boiled vegetables from the pit that were scattered on the floor, there was one tomato that was entirely uncooked. The split in that tomato looked very unnatural. That was the core of the trick, wasn't it?"

He doesn't say anything so Neuro continues. "The order of events was this. You punctured a hole in the tomato, ran two ropes through it, and then froze it solid. Then, you chose a time to call us over and killed the victim. Immediately after, you tied both ropes to the ventilation fans above the stove, hung the corpse on the formed loop, and placed the pot on the stove. You then turned on the fans, and thus completed the preparations. The vapour from the pot obscured the ropes, making it look like he was still alive. After we conversed for a time, the tomato began to thaw, and finally, no longer able to hold the corpse's weight, split open. That...is Sensei's theory."

"We have them." The older detective states. "These ropes that were tied to the ventilation fans. They're also stained with what appears to be tomato juice."

Shirota turns off the stove. "But, can that constitute decisive evidence that I am the culprit?"

Neuro moves towards the boxes, cabinets and drawers. "The criminal, in order to conceal the real time of death, probably killed the victim just prior to our arrival." He throws the box causing items to spill out and fall to the floor. He does the same to the cabinet, throwing the items out if the way on the floor. "In such a case, there should not have been enough time...to dispose of the weapon." He opens a drawer and takes out a rolling pin, one side covered with blood. "This is the murder weapon, isn't it?"

Yako put a hand in front of her mouth, surprised. Shirota lets out a sigh. "Enough."

"Wow, already confessing to your crime? So readily, too." Neuro comments sarcastically.

Shirota stirs the pot on the stove before transferring a ladle full to a plate. "That guy...He got in the way of my cooking. He didn't recognize the magnificence of these dishes."

"I just can't understand it!" Yako confesses confused. "I can't understand the reason for that dish or the reason for killing people!"

Shirota turns his head slightly. "There is no way you plebeians would understand the splendour of this."

The cheerful inspector steps forward. "What exactly...is the secret in the dish?"

"Well..." Yako trails off hesitantly so Neuro continues instead. "That question will be easily answered if you analyze the soup over there."

"Along with countless first-class ingredients', all sorts of narcotics like cocaine, heroin, and morphine are incorporated, as well as steroids like testosterone and DHEA, to achieve a precise, muscle-augmenting balance of constituents, which is simmered for seven days and seven night." Shirota whirls around, holding a needle filled with some soup. He injects himself as Yako lets out a gasp and the inspectors look surprised and equally horrified. "There is no way urine or blood tests can detect it, even though it's components' effects are several times greater than normal, and if taken directly into the blood, several times above that! This...is the result of many years of research, the ultimate dish, Doping Consomme Soup!"

His appearance has changed drastically. His skin is a bronze colour, you can see the veins popping out due to how much muscle he has gained. His shirt has been destroyed due to the muscle enlargement and the increase in his height. His enlarged hand rests on the counter, cracking it in the middle.

The cheerful inspector lets out a shriek before hiding behind the older one. "What the hell is this guy?"

Yako hides behind me, clinging to my arm. "M-Monster..."

Neuro puts his hand on Yako's head. "What a worthless dish."

"What?" Shirota demands.

"That's what Sensei...said!" He pushes Yako from behind my back.

Yako looks terrified but stands her ground. She clenched her fists and holds them up near her chest, elbows bent. "Using drugs to bring up your ratings is not cooking! Cooking is something that fills people up with love."

"To put it simply, your cooking is below kitchen scraps. Sensei would at least eat kitchen scraps, you see..."

Yako glares at Neuro. "Who would?!"

Shirota lets out a shout. "How dare you even talk about cooking!" He throws the pot at Neuro who ducks his head out the way, causing it to hit the way with a thud. "My cooking is the ultimate cooking!" He lunges at Neuro and pushes his back to the ground.

Due to the steam, I could see anything. "Neuro!" Both Yako and I shout at the same time. The older inspector takes out his gun and points it where Neuro and Shirota is.

"Ishigaki, ventilation!" The older inspector orders.

"Roger that!" Ishigaki agrees.

"Neuro!" Yako shouts taking a step forward, dragging me with her. She stops and I look to see Neuro sitting up wiping his mouth. "Gochisousama."

The smoke clears away. A relief smile appears on Yako's face. "Neuro."

Shirota is now sickly pale and shekinner than he originally was. Neuro stands up, hands on his hips. "Perhaps the side effects of the drugs kicked in? Good thing it was just in time."

Neuro and I leave first as Yako stays behind briefly. She soon comes out the restaurants front door causing me to look. Neuro carries on walking a few steps before stopping and looking towards Yako. "But it still could not satisfy. Are the mysteries of the surface world merely of this calibre? You will become more famous, and in doing so, draw more and more delicious mysteries to me."

~~~Half a year ago~~~

It all started half a year ago. It started when Papa was found dead, well killed. In his study which was locked. He was pinned to the floor, covered in blood and his head had been removed. The police ruled it a suicide but those type of injuries makes a suicide impossible.

Yako was depressed. My presence helped to a degree but it couldn't get rid of all her depression. We werein Yako's new room as we moved. Yako was kneeling on the floor looking at a frame. I remember Yako's thoughts as she gazes at it. 'There's no way my Otou-san would have committed suicide! But, how am I going to expose the truth behind my Otou-san's death? I don't really know.'

It was while we were sitting there that Neuro appeared. "Do you want to unravel the mystery?"

Yako looks up from the frame surprised. "Who's that?" She questioned. She looked around the room scared as no one was there. "Is someone there?" I was looking at where Neuro was from the beginning. He seemed surprised that there was no fear in my eyes, just curiosity.

He only looked away from me when Yako looks up at the ceiling, let's out a gasp and moves back.

With his eyes glowing he stated, "You will be perfect as my disguises!" Of course, he freaked Yako out with his laugh.

But it all started from that day, the day we both met Neuro.
