Disclaimer: In no way do I own Arashi Ni Shiyagare and the members/etc associated with that specific show. I'm just a person who got a strange idea in her head one day and decided to make a story out of it. This story is COMPLETELY FICTION! You have all been warned.

Erotomania. Chapter Four.

~...~

Detective Emi met with Nino, this time, at his apartment, "So... Ninomiya-san... you wanted to speak with me?" Nino sighed, "Unfortunately, I had no choice." Emi-chan raised an eyebrow, "You had no choice?" Nino frowned, "Listen. Aiba-chan is in the hospital and even though I find the police completely and UTTERLY incompetant... I think that it's important to at least report it. After reporting it... I was told that you're in charge of any cases that are around Arashi..." Emi smirked, "Who said that?" Nino sighed annoyingly, "My boss." Emi let out a laugh, "Alright, so tell me everything that you know."

Nino grunted as he took his cellphone out of his pocket, "I have two crazy stalkers." He handed the phone over to Emi, "One is obsessed with texting me... and the other sends crazy letters!" Emi began to look over the messages in Nino's phone. She laughed as she pulled up a text message that included a photo of a half-naked model, "She wouldn't happen to be a model, would she?" Nino snatched the phone away from Emi, "HEY! Don't go looking through private messages!" Emi smirked, "So... you're dating a model?" Nino handed the phone to her with the proper messages and crossed his arms, "Nope. This sexy piece of man-lovin' is actually single right now. I just can't help it that all the models want to send seductive photos to me..." Emi rolled her eyes, "Whatever you say, Ninomiya-san." Nino twitched with that comment, "Alright Emi-chan... you caught me... I used to date that chick. That is until she turned into a clingy disaster... WAIT! Why do you need to know this information anyways?" Emi shrugged, "Never know. It could be linked to your stalkers." Nino rolled his eyes, "I highly doubt it. That chick is now dating... someone else..." Emi began to write down in her notebook and continued to talk to Nino, "So Ninomiya-san," Before Emi could finish what she was going to say, Nino interjected, "Nino. I'm sick and tired of you calling me so formally..." Emi nodded, "Alright, NI-NOsan.." Nino smirked with amusement while Emi continued, "Are there any other past-relationships that might have caused murders of the Funky Girls and an attack on Aiba Masaki?" Nino thought for a moment, "Well... if you have to know... while I was dating that crazed supermodel... I began to talk to a former actress that I worked with. After I broke up with the model, I started dating her. Of course, I'm no longer dating her either... she was too full of herself. Such an unattractive quality."

Emi nodded, "Alright, so do you have any suspicions of who your stalkers are?" Nino frowned, "If I knew that, I wouldn't have any problems right now!" Emi smirked, "Alright, alright. So, is there anyone on the staff that had a problem with the Funky Girls and/or Aiba Masaki?" Nino thought again, "Hmmm... well, sometimes the camera woman would glare at Aiba-chan..." Emi wrote down that information, "And her name is?" Nino took a sip of water, "Ichigo Harumi-san." Emi thought for a moment, "Ah, that's the same camera that had blood on it." Nino shrugged, "Maybe she's a murderer then. She always did seem strange... turning bright red and glaring at Aiba-chan all the time."

Emi took more notes then took a sip of water, "Alright, and your newest notes from the other stalker?" Nino sighed as he walked over to a box he was keeping the letters in. He grabbed the letters and then handed them over to Emi, "Here you go." Emi analyzed each letter and nodded, "May I take these for a while?" Nino nodded, "By all means! Please take them! Because they make me feel sick to my stomach anyways!" Emi laughed, "Alright, I'll do you that favor." She then stood up, "Well, I'm outta here now." Nino frowned, "And where exactly are you going?" Emi turned towards him, "Work." Nino shrugged, "You really don't have to go back so soon." Emi shook her head, "It's important for me to get someone to find fingerprints on these letters and to analyze the text."

Nino sighed, "Fine, fine. I'll just take my day off as a time to play video games. Mario has been calling." Emi began to walk towards the door. "And I'll just save Princess Peach ALL BY MYSELF..." Emi laughed, "Are you really that desperate for someone to play Mario with you?" Nino frowned, "Of course not! I'm just rubbing it in your face that I'll be able to have hours of fun while you're running boring tests at work." Emi rolled her eyes, "And I'm running these tests to help you and your bandmates from more issues happening." Nino sighed, "Can't you get someone else to run those tests?" Emi nodded, "I can, but I still need to deliver everything." Nino began his game, "Fine. See ya around Emi-chan." Emi nodded, "Contact me if there's another emergency. If you get even another text or letter contact me." Nino nodded, "I would... if I had your direct number."

Emi took out a piece of paper and wrote her number down. She then placed it on a table, "There you go. I don't see why you can't just call the company instead though." Nino shrugged, "Too much work and too many annoying people to talk to before they send you over. This way, it's easy." Emi nodded, "Alright, well I"m leaving now." "Bye."

~...~

Emi went to a lab and began to have people working on the letters. She then took her notebook and read everything over. She made sure to record each text message in there as well. She couldn't figure out any hidden meanings. She then grabbed Aiba's phone (which she took as evidence) and began to look through it. "Hmmm... strange messages in here..."

Nice to meet you. Hello.

Come outside.I'm near a cute black puppy.

Goodbye.

She began to run some searches on Aiba Masaki. "Seems that he's heavily into animals... hmm..." After a few hours of looking into a bunch of information on him, a lightbulb went off in her head, "Someone who's into Arashi definitely sent the message... but the question is... why would he/she attack an Arashi member?"

Emi wrote down her findings in a notebook, then decided to meet up with the camera woman, Ichigo Harumi.

"Hello, Ichigo-san."

Harumi entered the room and bowed politely, "Hello Detective... may I help you?"

Emi nodded, "I just have a few questions about Aiba Masaki-san." Harumi raised an eyebrow, "Aiba-san? Umm... why?"

Emi shook her head, "I'll be the one asking questions right now."

Harumi nodded, "Of course." She sat down across from Emi and waited.

"So Ichigo-san, I've been informed that you dislike Aiba-chan."

Harumi shook her head, "That's not true!"

"But you glare at him..."

Harumi nodded, "I do... but that's not because I dislike him... it's actually because... I actually... really, really like him..." Her face turned bright red.

Emi investigated her face and nodded, "So, are you aware that Aiba-san is in the hospital right now?"

Harumi's eyes widened, "Is he having lung problems again? Oh gosh... I hope that he's alright."

Emi shrugged, "I'm not sure what his status is right now. Anyways, what's your favorite Aiba solo?"

Harumi was confused with this question, but answered anyways, "Friendship."

Emi smiled, "Alright! That's all I needed to know! Thank you."

Harumi nodded, "Not a problem..."

When Emi left the building, her phone went off. She immediately picked it up, "Hello?"

"Emi-chan! Come quickly! It's important!"

Emi raised an eyebrow, "Nino-san? What's wrong?"

"No time to explain! Just get over here NOW!"

Nino hung up the phone. Emi stared at it, then rushed over to Nino's apartment. She knocked on the door.

"It's unlocked~ just come in~"

Emi entered the room and saw Nino sitting infront of his tv. She approached him, "What's so important?"

Nino smiled, "Finally! You're here! Sit, sit!"

Emi sat down, "So, what's going on?"

Nino picked up a video game case, "This just came in the mail! Let's play!"

Emi frowned, "You seriously called me up for this?"

Nino nodded, "Of course! You said that I should call you in anything important comes up~"

Emi sighed, "I don't remember using those words..."

Nino shrugged, "Oh well! Anyways, since you're here! Let's play!"

Emi gave into defeat, "One game, that's it."

Nino smiled, "One game only if you beat me~ Otherwise, you're required to play three!"

Emi sighed, "You're not taking no for an answer, are you?"

Nino nodded, "You're picking up on my personality quickly~"

With that said, Emi and Nino began playing Nino's new video game. Unfortunately for Emi, she lost and somehow ended up playing over three games.
