Sorry for disappearing for this long. I was studying and everything just went down for a moment. Also, i'm checking the grammars from the previous chapters, maybe next week i'll have them all fixed (maybe, maybe not). Anyway, i like the reviews XD but i'm more surprise that there are a lot of followers and favorites and not so many reviews. That's kinda weird.
Anyway, i'll update more often. I have a little of free time now so, let's do this!
Sorry for the short Charpter, it was better to put a short Chapter than an Author's note. The next one will be more longer than this one. Also, if some of you want to give me some advice i'll take it :D
Chapter 10: Another victim?
The TV was on. Yu, Nanako and Azami were watching it while Dojima read the Newspaper. Azami thought that was weird for him to read it at this hour, but leave him be. After all, she was reading a book. The TV was showing a special report.
"Young men recklessly riding their motorcycles, disturbing the peace of a quiet rural town... Our special report took for the violent when one of the apparent leaders attacked the camera crew!" Said the reporter while showing the footage
"The hell are you punks doing here!?" Azami not only recognize the voice, but they weren't making an effort to hide his face. For a moment she feels ashamed to actually know him
"Oh my god, are you kidding me?" Said Azami "The hell are you doing, Kanji?"
"You know him!?" Dojima ask in disbelief
"Of course i know him. I talk to him from time to time in the Shopping District" Azami explains "What is he doing there?!"
"This ain't a show! Get bent!" Kanji scream at the camera
"Still up to the same old trick...?" Said Dojima
"Do you know him too?" Yu asks
"Mmm, well, i know him through work. His name's Kanji Tatsumi... He's quite a handful. He's been crushing biker gangs in the area since middle school. But i thought he got into high school and started attending class..."
"Actually, he don't go that often... He ditched sometimes" Said Azami
"Man, that blur sure is pointless. It's completely obvious who it is" Said Dojima "The guy's family runs a historic textile shop. I think what happened was, he crushed the local bikers all by himself because the noise kept his mother up at night. It's a nice gesture, but he's way too violent... At this rate, his mother'll have to apologize again..."
"He's not violent once you know him..." Said Azami "Altough, he barely says a word when i'm with him. I think he don't talk too much with people... Or have any friends at all"
"I'm not surprised" Said Dojima "Be careful with him, Azami. He only brings problems" Azami shrug and keep reading
5/15 Sunday
Yesterday it was raining all day long until Midnight. Someone appear in the Midnight Channel so today everyone gather in Junes to discuss about it. Azami wasn't paying attention at all, she was just looking at the sky, today she didn't want to be outside. She wanted to stay at home, but she agreed to be on these meetings.
"Ahem, we will now hold a meeting on our investigation of the serial kidnapping/murder case here in Inaba" Said Yosuke and Chie roll her eyes
"Dude, take a breath" She said
"Oh, then does that make this place our special headquarters?" Yukiko ask
"Exactly! Nicely put, Yukiko" Said Yosuke
"That sounds cool" Said Azami
"Anyways, as for what was on last night. Did you guys saw it?" Yosuke ask and everyone nodded except Azami
"I saw it. I couldn't get a good view of the person's face, but it was a guy, wasn't it?" Said Chie
"That guy look like a high schooler" Said Yu
"So that's how i looked on TV" Said Yukiko
"Yes, First it was all blured and then you were... you know" Said Azami "If only we could tell who that person is, then we can do something about it"
"Wait" Said Yukiko "Didn't all the victims have one thing in common? That they were females with ties to the first incident?"
"That's what we thought... But we still don't know who exactly we saw" Said Yosuke
"In my case, the image on the Midnight Channel changed after i was kidnapped, right?" Yukiko ask
"Yes, it got weird from there. It look like a TV show... Those ugly low-budget ones" Said Azami
"Come to think of it, maybe Teddie was right... Maybe we were seeing the other Yukiko from that world" Said Yosuke
"But last night, we couldn't clearly see whoever it was. Could that mean... He isn't inside the TV yet?" Yukiko ask
"I think is safe to asume that" Said Yu and sigh "Maybe we have to wait and see what happen. We don't have anything to go, we don't even know who that was"
"You are right. If we can figure out who he is, can we prevent him from being taken?" Yukiko ask
"Yeah... And if all goes well, we might catch the killer in the bargain. Like Yu said... We have to wait another night"
"So, are we done for now?" Azami get up "I didn't want to be outside today, so i'll be leaving now if we are done"
"Well, i think we are done for today" Said Yosuke and look at Azami "What, there's a reason you didn't want to get outside?"
"I don't usually go outside on sundays. I just stay at home and read" She said. After the meeting, Yu and Azami go back home. They spend the rest of the day inside. Yu was in the living room with Nanako and Dojima while Azami was in Nanako's room. After a couple of hours of not seeing his sister, he go to Nanako's room and knock the door. Azami answer seconds later, but she didn't fully open the door. "If you want drugs then go somewhere else" She said with a smile
"Very funny, Azami. What are you doing in there?" Yu asks
"Nothing, actually. Bored out of my mind"
"... Can i come in?" He asks and Azami open the door to let him in
"Be aware that this is Nanako's room so don't be surprise for all these toys" She said and point at the toys laying near Nanako's bed. It was a pretty normal room. Aside from the toys, it didn't look like a room where a child sleep. "So, what do you want?"
"I found it odd, Azami. Normally you are fooling around. Today you were... silent. Something happen?" Yu asks
"... Would you believe me if i tell you that i don't even know?"
"What?"
"Exactly... today i feel... bored. Tomorrow maybe i'll be back in my usual self, but today i was feeling bored. Nothing catch my eyes, it all looked, gray" Azami explain
"Maybe it's the weather. It's changing too fast. In the city it was sunny most of the time"
"Maybe" Azami look at the window and the rain start to fall. Azami sigh and look at Yu again. "I want the day to be over so i can return to my usual self"
"Mmm, i actually was enjoying this day. You didn't talk at all, i want you to stay like that" Said Yu with a Smirk
"HaHa Yu..." Azami grab one of her books "Are you making dinner? If so, i'll help you in a minute. Then we can watch that Midnight channel"
"Alright. I'll wait for you in the kitchen" Yu open the door and leave. As soon he leave, Azami let go of the book and let it fall to the ground. She just stay there, staring at the book in the ground
"Why...? Lately i found it... boring? Why?" She asks herself
