A/N: Here's the third chapter of Judgment. I had fun writing this and, right before I ended it, I realized I almost forgot to add in Niou, Yagyuu, Oshitari, and Shishido's little part I had planned out. We're also starting to wind down. Remember, next chapter is the last one. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Disclaimer: Same as the first chapter.

On the demands of the senior Atobe, his son was pleading not guilty to all three charges. As Atobe Keigo sat next to his lawyer, he went through the story he had formed in his mind over the last week. It was plain and simple, tell the truth but leave out the parts no one knew. It was better this way, the teen had decided. No one would notice the details he left out.

Finally, after the judge made his way into the courtroom, the first witness, Yanagi Renji, in a wheel chair, came up to the stand and told what he remembered.

"It was shortly after nine pm, we had been over at Yukimura's house to help Akaya pass his English test," Renji began," Although there were three of us, Sanada, Yukimura, and myself, Akaya seemed to prefer my teaching methods to Sanada or Yukimura's so, the two that weren't teaching worked on their own homework while I focused on Akaya's work."

"And, why weren't you doing any homework, Mr. Yanagi?" the Yukimura family's lawyer, Mr. Ai, asked.

"I had finished it all when my friends were trying to settle down and start to focus. I'm a rather fast and accurate worker so I was finished so I could focus all of my time and effort into helping my kouhai," Renji explained, "Anyways, around nine o'clock I went downstairs to get a drink because I was parched. While I was down there the door bell rang and, since I was the closest to the door, I answered it. Standing there was Atobe holding a gun straight at me. Before I could react, he had fired two shots and I was down on the floor. Naturally I started screaming in pain and Atobe stepped over my body. I…don't quite remember what happened next. I remember two gun shots and Akaya screaming also. Then another shot and…..a while later another shot was fired. I lost consciousness after that."

Next, Kirihara Akaya was called to the stand.

"Like Yanagi-senpai said, I was over at buchou's house to study for my English test. Yanagi-sempai went downstairs at about nine and answered the door when it rang. I didn't hear the gun shots but….I heard my senpai screaming so, I went to go see what happened," Kirihara wrapped his arms around his stomach as he continued on in his tale," Atobe was coming up the stairs. When he noticed me, two shots were fired in my direction. One hit my stomach and the other hit my leg. I passed out quickly from the pain. That's all I can remember."

Next, for a change of pace, Atobe was called up to the stands.

"I will not deny what Kirihara and Yanagi were false. I did shoot both of them," Atobe said, keeping his story simple, like he planned. "I also do not deny killing Yukimura Seiichi."

"Your honor," one of the jury members stood up," from Atobe's current statement I believe we don't need to make a decision on whether he is guilty or not. Your honor, I also think that you know the answer to this case too."

"Alright, let's get this over with," the judge said egger to leave." Atobe Keigo, by the power invested in me, this court finds you-"

"Wait a second your honor!" Shishido yelled as the group of four slammed open the double doors to the court room.

"Atobe-kun didn't kill Yukimura-buchou," Yagyuu added.

"And we also have proof," Niou said holding up the diary they found.

"So, Keigo didn't really shoot anyone?" Atobe's father asked.

"No, he really did shoot Kirihara and Yanagi. And there's no doubt he did fire the first shot as Yukimura but it didn't kill him. In fact, Atobe was never planning on killing Yukimura in the first place," Oshitari explained further and a gasp rang out from the crowd after he finished.

"Atobe-buchou only wanted to make a point to Yukimura that he couldn't take what was his. Even though what was his really didn't belong to him," Shishido said.

"In fact, Atobe planned it all so that two of the three demons would be at Yukimura's house the day he planned to claim what was his. What changed his scenario up was that the brattling and the other demon also happened to be there that night," Niou went even further into the explanation.

"And that second demon could also tell us the truth of what really happened," Yagyuu said turning to face that demon. "Why don't you tell us what really happened!"
