A/N: First of all, I would like to apologize for the graphic, bloody mess last chapter. Weird Girl 13 posted it before I could slap an adequate AN warning on it.

Weird Girl 13: HEY!

Kawaiikittey: And second of all, she decieded that Sunday would be Monday, therefore making Monday SUNDAY! However, since this chapter is PAINFULLY short, I'm double posting. Don't you all love me?

Suspicions

"So, why haven't I seen you recently?" Jinto asked, brushing his hair out of his eyes. "I mean, it's been forever!"

"I'm not going to tell you," Yumi said stiffly. How could she? Kaito would kill her, no doubt about it.

"Why not? I thought we were friends?" Jinto pouted, managing to look irritated at the same time.

"Well…you're not going to believe me," Yumi hedged. She really should tell him, but…she didn't want to.

"Even if I don't believe you, tell me!" he begged her. Finally, she agreed. She whispered her entire adventure to him, leaving out, of course, the two men's death through Kagome.

"I…I can't believe you, but…I have to," he replied, shaking his head incredulously.

"Really? Thanks Jinto-kun!" she smiled happily.

"Yeah, normally I can tell just by looking at your face," he teased. "Hey!" she protested.

"Hey Yumi?" he asked tentatively. "Can-can I come with you?" he begged. "Please!"

She hesitated, and finally agreed. He was probably just going to bug her until she did. "Okay," she said. "Just don't tell anyone."

They continued on their way to the orphanage (right after Yumi went to pick up supplies), and bumped into Yuko.

"Yumi-chan! I haven't seen you in long time! Taking your normal walk?" she asked cheerfully.

"No, actually, we going to the"-

"JINTO-KUN!" Yumi shouted, covering his mouth.

"What? Tell me!" Yuko demanded. "You owe me, Yumi! You've been avoiding the both of us! I can't even remember the last time I saw you!"

Yumi hung her head. Her friend was right. "Alright," she relented. She repeated her story as they walked through the woods. As they neared the orphanage, you could see the children running up to the window, smiling. Teto was in front, but then she beckoned to somewhere away from the window. Kaito appeared, first looking curious, and then furious. It was only fleeting, however, as he quickly smiled happily.

"They look so innocent," Yuko murmured. "Those are the kids, right?" Jinto asked. "Yeah," Yumi responded vaguely. Something was wrong. They went through the hallway, Yuko pointed out the green door. "What's in there?" she asked, drawing to it. "That's the scientist's room," she responded. "Don't go in there." She never glanced back, too worried about that fleeting look on Kaito's face.

They continued until they reached the dark room where the children were. "Yumi!" Teto cried, running up to the girl. "You're back."

"Hey boy," Kaito said slowly, sauntering over to Jinto. "Wanna play Kagome?" he smirked.

Jinto was horrified. "Kaito!" Yumi exclaimed, shocked. "He's a friend!" Kaito laughed then, and stuck out his tongue. "Kidding~!" he smiled again, a really cute, true smile. "Who are you?"

"This is Jinto," she said, "and that's Yuko."

"Uh, we get that that's Jinto," Gackupo said, pointing to the boy, "But who's Yuko?"

"What are you talking about?" Yumi asked, turning.

There was no Yuko.
