CHAPTER 2: THERE'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE PART 2
WOOHP HEADQUARTERS-7:45PM
"That's awesome! Who is it?" Marc asked. "The DNA belongs to someone named..." Jerry pulled up a picture and I swear I almost died. "Soku Hirabayashi." Everyone started to look at me. I looked down and started to cry, my bangs covering my eyes. "But...he's supposed to be dead..." I whimpered. "Well he isn't. He's been kidnapping people for while now and yet I have no clue why. None of these people are tied together." Jerry explained. "You mean they're just random people? It's gonna be hard capturing him then." Tony said. "Who is he, Hokori?" Megan asked. "He's...he's my...brother. He's supposed to be dead...why would he lie to us? To me?" I choked out. I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder, "It's okay. There's no need to cry, we're here for you." Marc said. I smiled a bit and blushed. I looked up at the screen that was behind Jerry. Six faces were displayed. 'Hideki, Kei, Ichijo, Hiro, Goro, and Juro. What connection do they have? They had nothing to do with my-' I gasped. "I know the connection!" I exclaimed, standing up.
"Please enlighten us." Jerry said. "Hideki, Kei, Ichijo, Hiro, Goro, and Juro have known me since I was a little girl." Jerry nodded, telling me to go on. "When I was little, they would make fun of me. My brother, being the highly over-protective one, had to keep them away from me." Everybody looked confused. "What does that have to do with anything?" Megan asked. "My brother is getting his revenge." Everybody's confused expression went back to normal. "Revenge?" Jerry questioned. "You see, when we were younger, he always swore to get his revenge. This must be the revenge he was talking about." Jerry nodded and handed me a piece of paper. "It's a note he gave me. He said to give it to you because you would understand it."

'Excellence? 'Garden Gate'? What does that mean?' I thought. "Do you know what means?" Lee asked. "I know what it says, not what it means. It will take some time to figure out." Jerry nodded. "In the mean time, you'll have to go back home." He pressed a button and we were WOOHP'ed back into my room.
I quickly sat at my desk and started reading it over and over again. "You guys can go home now. I'll figure it out soon." I said, my back still facing them. They all went out or at least I thought they did...
(Marc's POV) *I'm writing a bunch of POV's in Marc's POV XD*
"You guys can go home now. I'll figure it out soon." Hokori said, not looking at us. My siblings left and I walked up behind her. "You know, staring at it isn't going to help you figugre it out." I said. She turned around, looking a little startled. "I know, but that's how I used figure out all of Oniisan's riddles." I smiled. "Want me to help? I could call my mom and tell her that I'll be sleeping over here...if you want..." I said carefully. She smiled a little, "You wouldn't have any clean clothes." I blushed and said, "I could get some...somehow..." She giggled, turning around. "If you can somehow get clean clothes over here in the next 5 minutes, then maybe you can stay over and help me." She said. "Got it! I'll call my mom and ask her to bring clothes over." She didn't say anything, but she laughed a little.
I ended up calling my mom and she said it would be fine. Hokori's dad was a bit skeptical with it, but ended up agreeing. "So what does the paper say?" I asked. "The winds fall of course in this place, It makes it almost difficult to move and see. Only those with excellence, May pass through the 'garden gate'." She said. "I wonder what that means..." I mumbled. "We can think about in a minute. I need to do something." I nodded as Hokori got up and walked out of the room. While she was gone, I took the moment to look at her room. It looked like a typical Japanese-style room. Then she came back in, smiling, and we started talking about the riddle.
A/N- This chapter was alittle shorter, but I hope it's okay
Please review!
