Four days until the trial

"None of this makes sense. Why would buchou just up and attack two Rikkaidai regulars and then kill one of them?" Shishido asked, throwing down the newspaper he had been looking through.

"Maybe he wanted to get rid of the competition for Nationals? Puri!" Niou suggested but started laughing at his own twisted sense of humor.

"That's not funny!" Shishido went to attack the Trickster but was held back and calmed by his teammate, Oshitari, while Niou was given a lesson in how to be considerate of others by his own teammate, and doubles partner, Yagyuu.

"I'm just picking on you Shi-kun ("Don't call me Shi-kun," Shishido hissed.), though I also have to agree. We don't know why. All we know is that Yukimura-buchou's dead because your buchou decided to go on a shooting spree. Injuring not only our smartest, and sanest, regular but he also injured the brattling!" Niou said building up so he was standing up. Then he crashed back down to the couch. "Now who am I going to prank when practice gets boring?"

"This is quite the predicament we've gotten ourselves into," Yagyuu said.

"Don't use big words Hi-ro-shi," Niou, extending Yagyuu's first name into three syllables, wined. "You know I almost failed that vocabulary test last week."

"It's your own fault for not studying, Niou-kun," Yagyuu countered.

"It's someone else's fault for not helping me," a few glances over at Yagyuu gave the hint that he was supposed to help Niou study.

"You're going to have to begin a good study habit if you want to get into college."

"But what if I just-"

"Okay, this is getting out of hand," Oshitari interrupting the oh so "interesting" conversation Niou and Yagyuu were having," We need to figure out why did Atobe do this not how can I pass."

"Agreed, Oshitari-kun but how?"

And thus, the four began to think.

Three days until the trial

Sanada woke from his dream screaming. He had experienced the same nightmare for the past four nights and it was always the same, running down a seemingly empty hallway with a door at the end. When he finally reached the door, gun shots were heard, and, for some reason, when he opened the door, Kirihara and Yanagi's bodies fell out. Then, when he finally managed to enter the room, there was Atobe standing over Yukimura, a twisted smile plastered over the silver haired teen's face as he held a gun pointed straight for Yukimura's head. A shot was fired and all he could remember was his buchou's frozen scream on his face.

'But,' Sanada thought,' why do I feel so guilty? It's not like I killed him. Atobe did.' Sanada rolled over in his bed and tried to get to sleep again. Hopefully, the nightmares would stop soon.

Two says until the trial

"Agh! I still can't find anything!" Shishido yelled in frustration.

The group of four had moved itself to Atobe's house to look for clues. Since Shishido and Oshitari had been over countless times, they were welcomed in to the mansion. The four had immediately went to Atobe's room and searched around for anything that could have caused the murder. Only when Niou looked under the narcissist's bed did they find any remotely helpful.

"It's a diary," Niou stated after opening the first page," Man this would be great black mail if he's ever released out of prison."

"Turn to the last page! We might find something there," Oshitari ordered and, surprisingly, the trickster obeyed and started reading.

"Hey, guys! You might want to check this out!" the other three crowded around the silver haired boy so that they could read what the buchou of Hyoutei had written.

"Oh. My. God."

The day before the trial

Atobe sat silently in his cell. Even though the media had branded him a murderer, his parents had still hired one of the best lawyers in Japan. His father didn't believe that his son had done any of the things people said his son really did. Not one member of the Atobe family had even held a gun so how would his son know how to shoot one?

But, Atobe did know. His father's believes were wrong. Atobe had learned how to shoot a gun. It was all to prepare for that day because no one denied what Atobe Keigo wanted. And Atobe always got what he wanted.

E/N: It seems as though the small group has found something and what is it Atobe wants?
The trial is next and sorry if I get any terms wrong from the courtroom scene. I don't know a lot about the judical system from what I've read so, once again, sorry if I get anything wrong.
