"Hello everyone, I'm Yuno Gasai" said the pink haired girl as she gave a polite bow. "Please treat me well".
"I'm Yukiteru Amano" as the meek boy bowed as well. "I'll be in your company from now on".
Onwards after them many other students introduced themselves. Sitting in the audience, much talk was going on amongst them.
"Why are there so many student transfers?"
"Didn't you here? There school burned down and they were all sent here. Thank goodness no one was hurt".
"Was it arson?"
"Don't know, it's still under investigation at the moment".
As each student introduced themselves, Tsubaki looked over to see that Aru's eyes were glimmering as they seemed to have been focused on one person in particular. "Why are you staring at him?" as she traced his eyes to Yuki.
"So cute" he fawned as strange little twinkles were in his eyes.
Tsubaki gave a strange look to this. In a way she was a bit jealous as someone other than herself had the attention of the boy detective. Thinking about it now, she wondered if Aru even liked girls. I mean he was always surrounded by them as each of them would fight for his attention. Yet he didn't seem to have any particular interest in them. Even herself, Aru seemed to flirt with her. But it never seemed to get very far. So curiosity getting the better of her, "You've been looking at that Yuki guy for a while now . . . ."
"Was I?" as he continued his stare. "I haven't noticed".
"Aru . . . ." as she was hesitant about what she wanted to say, "are you gay?"
"No" Aru simply answered. "But it doesn't stop me from admiring".
Tsubaki could only give a strange look at this, "what a peculiar person you are . . . ."
~ School ~ (class time)
With the introduction of the new students, they were all allocated to their classes.
With Aru's class, amongst others Yuno and Yuki were with them.
The day proceeded like any other school with the exceptions of new voices picking up to answer questions.
Eventually it became lunch time as students got up to get to know the new attendees.
"So how have you been?" asked Aru as he took his seat next to the meek boy.
"Nothing much" Yuki somewhat stuttered. "Ever since the third, things have been pretty quiet. By the way I should thank you again for saving my life. Without you I would have been done for".
"No need to thank me" Aru cheerfully smiled. "You were plenty brave to hang on the way you did".
"No way" as Yuki gave a soft chuckle. "Beside you're ways braver then me. I wish I could be as cool as you".
"Is that so?" as the boy detective gave one of his charming smiles. "Anyways is there any new word on what happened to your school? It seems highly unlikely to be some accident".
"Yeah that's the weird part. Even the police can't make heads or tails of it. It has all the indications of arson but strangely there is no evidence to the contrary".
In receiving this fact, Aru placed his hand to his chin in thought. "Hmm, perhaps Keigo might have more luck with his investigation diary". But then returning back to his charming smile, "so . . . . Are you doing anything later?"
Tsubaki could only stare at the strangeness that Aru Akise was. Frankly the boy detective never paid this much attention to anyone before herself excluded of course. "Is he really not interested in guys?" she thought in disbelief as she saw him chatter happily away with Yuki.
And she would have continued to allow her thought to dwell on this until she was abruptly disturbed by one of the new students.
"Hello" said Yuno, "do you know who I am?" she asked sweetly.
"Yes" Tsubaki nodded a bit. "You're Yuno Gasai. I saw you at the assembly".
"Good" as she gave a sunny smile. "You have really good memory if you were able to remember me out of everyone who was introduced".
"You have really pretty hair. That's why I was able to remember you".
"Do I? Thanks for the compliment!" as she shook her hand.
"Uhh . . . . Your welcome" Tsubaki answered as she felt somewhat awkward around her.
"Hey!" as Yuno got close to her face to face, "can we have a little girl talk? Just between the two of us, OK?"
Tsubaki looked to Aru as he was still distracted with talking to Yuki. Then looking back to Yuno, "yeah . . . . OK".
"Alright then, follow me!" she said excitedly before pulling her along.
The pale girl stumbled to her feet as she felt she was being dragged along. "What's with her?" she thought. For the pink haired girl was being quite forceful with her with how fast she was walking and how fiercely she was holding her wrist. In a way . . . . It almost seemed like . . . . She wanted to get her alone for reasons that she wasn't going to like.
Being dragged up a few stairs and finally arriving on the rooftops, Yuno released her arm as she took a few steps forward maintaining her back to her. "So Tsubaki, tell me everything you know about Aru Akise".
Tsubaki could only give a pained sour look to this. "Another fan girl" as she held her head as this wasn't the first time this happened and probably wouldn't be the last. "What do you want to know?" giving a somewhat tired sigh to this. Since she was always around Aru and it was an established fact they weren't an item, she was usually bombarded by questions about anything that was Aru related.
"How did you meet Aru?"
Tsubaki's eyes quirked at this as this wasn't the usual questions she was generally asked. But decided to go with it, "we met during one of his cases. In it he saved my life and brought me justice, and for this I owe him a great debt that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to repay" as fondness reflected in her tone.
"Really? It wasn't dangerous was it?"
"It was, but with the help of everyone everything managed to end safely with no one getting seriously hurt".
"Hmm, so has Aru been on any other interesting cases?"
"Not that I know of" as now Tsubaki was getting a bit suspicious.
"What about his diary? Do you know where he got it from?"
Tsubaki's eyes widened in alarm as she stepped back defensively, "who are you? How do you know about the diary?"
"It doesn't really matter. I'll personally get it out of him once I'm finished with you".
"What?" as she didn't like the way that sounded.
"Simply I have no further use for you sixth. I think it's time for you to go now" she said sweetly as she turned around now as it was apparent she had removed her bow ribbon and coiled it between her two hands.
"What are you doing?" as fear now started to creep up on her stepping back once again.
"Isn't that easy to tell?" Yuno said as she held her sickeningly sweet tone. "I'm going to kill you now. If you die then things can still be fixed and restored to the way things should be".
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!" as she continued to retreat from Yuno's advancement. "Please stop! You can't possibly do this!" Seeing her continue to advance, it was frightfully obvious this was no joke. Tsubaki then quickly turned about as she ran for the door. "She's serious! She really is going to try and kill me!" Being a step away from reaching the door knob, a ribbon cloth wrapped around her neck as it pulled back pressing against her wind pipe. "Can't . . . . Breath . . . ." But struggle as she might, she far weaker than the average girl as Yuno had complete dominance over her. "I have to do something or I really am going to die!"
"Shh shh shh" as Yuno held her sweet smile, "just please stop resisting and your death will be a lot less painful".
However Tsubaki would not allow it to end so easily. Not when she finally got her life moving in the right direction. Thinking quickly, she grinded her heel against the shin of her attacker as she then nailed her foot. Just as expected her grip loosened as that was her time to escape to the door.
"Oh no you don't" as Yuno pulled her back throwing her to the ground away from the door to which she started to advance on her once again.
"Have you really thought about this?" as Tsubaki somewhat crab walked scooting back.
"And what would that be?"
"You're about to commit murder! You can't possibly get away with this!"
"Oh don't worry" said Yuno calmly holding innocent facade. "I've already got it all planned out".
"What?"
"I just have to make it look like suicide making it look like you hanged yourself with your own tie".
"But what about other people? They'll hear me if I scream".
"During lunch hours? Unlikely. Besides being this high up no one can possibly hear you".
Fear had now nearly completely taken a hold of her as tears then started to form as she held her arms up defensively.
"Just be calm and your death will be quick".
Hitting her back now against the fence, "Help me Aru!"
To be continued . . . .
Author's notes: I hope this chapter was OK although rather short.
But I'm going to try and pick up the pace both story wise and updates as I've figured out how I wish to end this.
So thank you for taking the time is reading this fic and I further extend my gratitude if you can review it as well.
