In the morning, the blonde woke up to something warm on his chest.
It was a warm weight on his chest, that was strangely comfortable and nice. It was a little on the light side, but not like a feather. He wrapped his arms around it on instinct, feeling the warm ball squirm and most likely drool on him.
"H-Hibiya?"
He looked down to see the small raven curled up on his chest, black hair in his eyes and cheeks flushed pink like he was, indeed, a child. The smaller male's fingers gripped onto the sides of the blondes tee-shirt, Hibiya sighing silently in his sleep. The blondes lips quirked up in a smile, snuggling the raven in his arms and brushing the hair out of his face with his free hand. The raven slowly started to stir to life, gold orbs opening and surveying his surroundings. He looked up at the blonde, face flushing pink.
"Shit." He cursed.
Delic laughed. "Have a good sleep, Princess?~"
Hibiya turned more red in the face, wiggling off of the blonde and trying to gather his composure. "I.. I didn't mean to do that.. I sleepwalk.."
The good natured blonde smiled, shrugging. "I didn't mind. You're actually quite adorable when you sleep~"
"You're too kind." He said sarcastically, brushing the hair out of his face and sitting next to him on the couch.
"Do you think we should try uncoding the note today? Or do you want to interview more?" He asked.
"I think decoding the note would be more productive." He said, scratching his head.
"Alrighty, then."
He sat a little closer to Delic, pulling out his laptop and accessing his photos and clicking on the picture of the note, while zooming onto the text. From his pocket he pulled out a permanent marker-he wasn't sure why it was there, exactly- and started copying down the code onto his forearm in his neat, slightly feminine handwriting.
"Soo what ya doing~?"
"Writing down the code." He said. "It's 255 843 75887 6878 343, then a slash through the 343 and a little picture of rotting flowers next to it. What do you think this could be?"
The blonde thought for a second "Maybe the 343 is a symbol for death or die, considering the rotting petals and the slash through it." He said, playing with his phone.
"Wait.. That means that one number stands for several letters if its death..This may get tricky." He said,writing down the possibility under the numbers. "Is there any sets of numbers that seem easy to decode?"
Delic looked over at the computer screen. "343 says die. The rest of the numbers only stand for one letter. That part is obvious. The rest I don't know."
"If it stands for die, then 3 must stand for D and E and 4 must stand for I." He said, writing a simple key at the end of it.
"That means the 3 in 843 is E and 4 is H making 8 obviously a T!" The blonde said examining the number pad on his phone, looking up at him in slight shock.
"Wait.. You think it corresponds to the number pad?"He said, giving him a slightly confused look before testing it out. "75887 would have to be..sluts.."
"Then 255 is all and 6878 is must..."
"All the sluts must die." Hibiya read it all together, biting his fingernails. He thought about it for a second before looking up at him. "We should go interview the parents of at least one of the girls.. See if there is a possibility that she was romantically involved with someone."
"Yeah.. Go get ready and I'll wait down here for you to finish. We can take my car."
The raven nodded, walking up the stairs to get dressed.
Delic yawned, getting up to stretch. When he heard a door upstairs close he made his way over to the wall where all the pictures were located. He examined one of them where Hibiya was with a similar sized male with white-ish blonde hair, both of them wearing caps and gowns holding up diplomas.
Hibiya came downstairs in a pumpkin colored sweater, nicely baggy and highlighting his slim shape. On the bottom half he was wearing dark blue jeans, on his feet were nice dress shoes. Simple, yet decent. He made his way beside the blonde.
"That's one of my ex-boyfriends.." The raven said, pointing to the same picture.
"Oh.. I see.. You guys dated in collage?"
"Yeah.. He was a family friend Before hand though.. Anyway.. You ready?"
Delic nodded, making his way to the door and putting on his jacket. "Lets go."
"Mhm." He grabbed his leather jacket, pulling it on and heading out the door.
They walked out if the apartment complex, shoes crunching in the snow and walking to Delic's cherry red mustang.
"Fuck, your car is nice." Hibiya said, getting inside. The interior was black and tidy and as cold as a bucket of ice in the middle of Winter.
Delic smiled. "Why thank you~" He starting the engine and putting on the heater. "My dad bought it for my on my 16th
birthday." He then began to fiddle with his stereo, plugging in a cord and connecting it to his Uphone. "Mind if I listen to some music~?"
"I don't care." He said, waving it off before looking out the window.
He grinned, putting his playlist on shuffle and backing out of the parking lot. He began to sing to a song that the raven had never heard of before. At the end of the song, Hibiya turned to Delic. "Can I pick out a song?"
"Sure." The blonde grinned, giving him the U-Phone. The raven scrolled through the possibilities, before he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Sexting? Really? What poetry!" He giggled sarcastically.
"Well, I think they are a pretty good band, if I do say so myself.." Delic said defensively.
"The song reminds me of PMSing teenage girls fapping.."
"Exactly! Play it!"
Hibiya sighed, tapping on the choice. Suddenly, the air was filled with the electronic intro. "..Jesus.."
"Come on! Sing with me!" Delic laughed.
"Less than three is just a tease~" He sang mockingly, blushing.
"Send those noods and make me drool hit me up and make me cum~"
"Wanna sext? I'll show you some. Sticky drama all the way, want my dick you gotta pay~ See what my thumbs can do, time to use my tongue on you."
"Show me what you got on my LCD."
"Lets get down to it, so you can get down on me~"
"Cybering is so 1999 you gotta be textually active if you wanna be mine!"
"'Cause.."
"I wanna fuck you hard"
"I wanna feel you deep"
"I wanna rock your body"
"I wanna taste your sweet"
"I wanna fuck you hard"
"I wanna feel you deep"
"I wanna aah ahh"
"I wanna aah ahh"
They pulled up to the first house, which was formally the home of Iris. Delic parking the car and still continuing to sing with the raven.
"Love me or hate me but you want to fuck me"
"My love is unrestricted
You know you wanna lick this"
"One stronger than the strongest drug you've ever had"
"Mix 'em all together and I would still be twice as bad"
"I know you want some more!"
"When I text it's sex! sex! sex!"
"You start to undress! Dress!"
"Poppin' out your chest,
In your friends' request."
"Now I'm rocking on your top
And you know I just can't stop stop"
"Make you drop
Feel you up till I hit the spot"
"I can't take TAKE TAKE
ALL THIS WAIT! WAIT!"
"I'm so impatient
You got me wait'n"
"Cut this shit!
Show your tits!"
"Flip it out on my sidekick
Like quagmire on family guy"
"Giggity!"
" Giggity! "
"All the time"
After the two sang a few more verses of the song, they were done. Delic turning off the car, the blonde still mouthing the words.
"You're a dork." Hibiya laughed, getting out of the car. There was a little memorial on their porch, illuminated by candles and flowers. The raven knocked on the door.
A dark haired woman came out, face sullen. Her face was highlighted with black curls, eyes dark and tired. "Can I help you?" She asked, looking at the two men.
"Hello.. My name is Hibiya Orihara, and this is my business partner Delic Heiwajima. We are both private investigators for the security firm down the street. Could we speak with you for a moment, please?" He asked politely.
"S-sure. Come in." She opened the door, letting the two inside the house.
"It's a lovely home you have here." He said, walking into the living room. The walls were a light pastel yellow color, a dark blue couch against the wall and a TV in the corner. In the middle of the room was a coffee table, various magazines on it. "Now, we're just going to ask you a few questions about your daughter. Are you comfortable with speaking to us?" He said, sitting down on the couch.
"Yes I am." She said quietly. Meanwhile Delic sat next to Hibiya, ready to take notes.
"Alright, so, could you tell me a bit about your daughter? I heard that she was a wonderful piano player." In fact, there was a piano in the living room against the wall, with a few family pictures on it. Most hauntingly, there was a light blue urn on the right side corner of it.
"Yes, she was. Iris was a lovely, smart and beautiful girl. She never did drugs or drank alcohol. And from what I know so far, she never was involved in crime."
"Was she in a relationship?" He asked.
"Yes. With a friendly young man that goes to the boarding school behind hers. His name was Masaomi, I think."
"When was the last time you saw your daughter?" Hibiya asked, voice becoming a bit more sympathetic.
"Well.. It was during break.. And Iris was going out with Masaomi to a nice boy/girl social that the students hold every week. She called and texted me a few times too,-" She cut herself off, starting to cry and wiping her tears with her fingers. "But She never came home." She finished, voice coming out a bit shaky.
"Hush.. Take a few deep breaths.." He said soothingly. "We're going to make this monster pay for what he or she did to your daughter..For what they did to all of those innocent girls.."
"Thank you.." She sniffed.
"Could we have your phone number in case we need a bit more information? And do you know where this social is?"
She wrote down her number, handing it to them and shaking her head. "Parents weren't allowed to know. It was kids only.."
Interesting..
"Then, we'll find out ourselves and keep you to date on what is happening, okay? I'm sorry for your loss.." He said, shaking her hand and heading for the door with Delic.
"What now?" The blonde asked, opening the door and walking outside to the car.
"I don't know.. I say we stake out this social, though." He said.
"Well yeah, but we don't know where it is."
"We'll have to ask some girls from the boarding school." He said. "Ask your cousin."
"Won't help.. She's a bitch at times and she NEVER tells me what I need.. She just whines that shes '19 and still a virgin'" The blonde said, sticking out his tongue.
"Eh. I bet I could get it out of her."
".. Fine. I guess we're going back to the school." He sighed.
"I'll text you when I got the address.."
"Fine, fine.."
