Last time on murder of a shadow..

"Did you get everything you need?"

"Yes thank-"

Before i could even finish my setence the lights went out and another blood curdling scream echoed through the kaiba mansion.

Something told me at the moment Mai wasn't the killer either...

Me and Mai quickly ran into the direction where the scream came turns out it was in the living room.. when we got there ishizu was gone and so was the murderer..

"Oh my god! Noo!" Mai cried "They got Ishizu!" Mai spoke while running towards joey embracing him in a tight hug.

"My sister!" Marik spoke rage clearly in his voice.

"Everyone calm down!" Mokuba spoke getting everyones attention

"Look, panicing isn't gonna get us any closer to finding the murderer. Now who was the last person who saw Ms. Ishizu alive?"

"I believe i was" Duke devlin said while raising his hand giving a saddened look.

"Really and when was this?" Mokuba said walking toward Devlin.

"About 10 minutes ago i was trying to get her phone number but she refused." Devlin said while giving an aggitated sigh.

"Wait a minute..you were trying to get my sisters phone number!?" Marik said while grabbing a hold of devlin shirt.

"Hey! I can't help it if your sister is hot..or was hot!"

"You little-"

"Marik, Devlin cut it out! Another person is lying dead and we still don't know who the murderer is!" Mokuba spoke.

"I agree" I decided to chime in.

"Bakura when did you get here?" Devlin spoke

"Umm i've been here the whole time..."

"Really? Huh guess i didn't notice.."

"Probably because you were to busy trying to get my sisters phone number." Marik said rolling his eyes.

"Ahem..if you could all go back to your rooms i would like to investigate the crime scene."

Everyone nodded in agreement heading back to their rooms.

"Umm Bakura." Serenity spoke quietly making her way up towards me.

"Yes, Serenity?"

"You don't think the murderer will kill anyone else right..? I mean they've already gotten two people." She said while shedding a silent tear.

"Hmm, I don't know serenity but i would stay low just in case head back into your room and get some rest, don't worry serenity i'll solve this case."

"I hope so..thanks bakura" she said while giving me a kiss on the cheek causing a small blush to creep across my face.

"You're welcome."

I watched her as she made her way back to her room.

Now to investigate yet another crime scene i took out my notepad and started to write and observe the scene.

I looked closely at the young victims body i could see her surprised expression she still had on her face. By the look of it she must've gotten a good look of the murderer. Hmm what is this? A slit mark on her throat? Well now i know the cause of her death..but if her throat was slit from behind why the shocked expression there's no way she could've known she was about to be attacked unless..I looked up in the direction she must've been standing and found a mirror. That's it! The mirror she must've seen the murderer from the reflection..Now let's see what we've got so far. we've got two women dead. Victim number one Anzu Mazaki age 23 she was our first victim. She was stabbed directly in the back in a very messy fashion. The time was 7:00 pm when she had been stabbed. Now it's exactly 8:00 and another person murdered her throat slit from behind. We know the murder can't be Akefia,Mai, or Ishizu and certaintly not Anzu. We also know whoever is causing all of this is not a professional murderer but a very good one at that. Something tells me if i don't find this murderer soon more people are going to get killed.

I put my notepad away and more sirens could be heard from outside the ambulance stepped in and i quickly made my way out of the living room.

Looks like it's time for some more interrogation.

Next up Atem Muto, Yugi's older brother.

I found his room and knocked on the door.

"Bakura?"

"Hello, Atem i have a few questions for you."

Atem nodded and invited me inside his room looked just like Mai's except the furniture was a bit different.

I sat down with my notepad and the interrogation began.

"Atem how long have you know Anzu and Ishizu?"

"Well i've known Anzu as long as yugi have we met her at Domino high school when we were young."

"Mhm and what about Ishizu?"

"Well i've known her for about 2 years we met at this museum she was the proud owner it's quite nice there indeed."

"Mhm, I heard you use to date Anzu?"

"Ah..yes we dated for about a year until we broke up."

"That's quite a while Atem"

"Yes well, we both wanted different things she wanted yugi and i wanted her to be happy."

"So she wasn't happy with you?"

"She would say she was but i knew other wise she would always get so jealous when ever serenity was hanging around yugi."

"Huh? Serenity liked yugi?" I quickly wrote this down.

"Well..she said she liked tristan but i think otherwise she would always cling to yugi like he was some type of life perserver."

"Hmm..do you have any idea why someone might murder ishizu?"

"No not really, Ishizu was a very sweet lady and so was Anzu i just can't believe they're both gone."

"Yes..well i think i have enough information thank you."

"You're welcome"

I made my way out of atem's room, He was very useful in this investigation maybe i should go question serenity now.

I made my way to the other end of the kaiba mansion and quickly located her room giving another tap on the door.

"Huh? Oh! Bakura what pleasure do i owe this visit?" She smiled sweetly gesturing for me to come in.
"I would like to ask you a few questions do you mind?"

"Oh of course not ask away!"

I took out my note pad once again and began yet another interrogation

"Serenity, how long have you known Mrs. Anzu?"

"Oh quite awhile i met her right after i got my eye surgery she was very nice."

"And Ishizu?"

"Um, about the same i kind of met everyone here pretty much at the same time since my brother was a duelist he introduced me to everyone."

"I see, i heard you had a little bit of a crush on Yugi?"

Her facial expression quickly changed into a rather shocked one.

"I do not! Yugi is just a friend!"

"Calm down serenity it's just a question." I looked at her while writing down this certain outburst.

"I'm sorry it's just yugi is a very good friend of mind and i don't wanna add anymore stress on him then it already is you know?"

"I see" i said giving her a calm expression.

"Now why do you think someone would murder ishizu?"

"I couldn't of have a clue i mean she is very nice and smart i say she was just at the wrong place at the right time." She said looking down then added "But i'm just glad they're both in a better place away from all the stress of this world."

"Yes well i think that's all the questions i needed to be answered good evening serenity."

"You to" She smiling shaking my hand

I noticed a band aid on her finger.

"Serenity where'd you get that?"

She looked down then back up at me.

"Oh, well i seem to have cut my finger i don't really know how" She laughed "Guess that's another mystery that needs to be solved.

I gave her a short smile then made my way out.

Hmm.. She says she cut her finger but i'm not really to sure i mean there's not alot of things that's really to sharp around here. Oh well maybe i'm looking to much into this but her reaction to when i mentioned her crush on yugi really seemed to bother her...
