Kitsune: *eyes twitch*
Rein: What's wrong?
Kitsune: We only got one review.
Pudding: That's good, na no da!
Kitsune: *sighs* At least it's better than nothing. I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew, Sherlock Holmes, and anything else that related to murder mysteries. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to solve the mystery! Let's go, Nana!
Nana: Sometimes I wonder why I was chosen as her sidekick…
Chapter 10: Four Penguin's Feet and a Funeral, Part 2
Kitsune and Nana appear in the cellar and notice that everything's dark. Kitsune tries to flick the light switch on, but nothing happens.
Nana: Do you have a light?
Kitsune: I only have one flashlight with me, so you better try to keep up.
Nana: *gulps* Okay.
Kitsune waves the flashlight everywhere until she notices a rope. She follows the rope until it reveals a near-dead-looking Layla.
Kitsune: Oh my god. Not the Hostess!
Nana: And the new one as well!
Kitsune and Nana walk closer to the body and notice a letter in her hand. Kitsune pries it from her hand and opens the letter.
Kitsune: It's a review. She must've wrote it before she was killed by some unknown person.
Nana: But who could've done this?
Kitsune: Whoever it is, that person must be serious. Since Nana and I are the only ones here, We'll both read this together.
I don't cry when I don't get cake XP
-pokes eclipses body and yanks a chain from meh neck- Rocky, see if you can get any scent on eclipses murderer

Ichigo: WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?
Dares:
Kisshu:...-pokes-
Masaya: Do you know who did THAT to eclipse? -points to ecplise- tell me if you do know, please. unless you're dead...
Blue Knight: fly off a building. you were the one who rescued Ichigo from a falling tower
Jay: -whacks- don't you dare try and hit me with a hammer! -glares-
-sitting on the ground, eyes closed- incredibly powerful magic. the murderer was able to outwit the earth and wind. that's nearly impossible...
Bye.
Kitsune: Why would someone kill her? Especially when she was going to hand the bottle to me… Well, I better do the right thing… *cuts the rope and the body drops to the floor*
Layla was able to wake up, despite being nearly strangled to death by someone. She coughs and breathes in.
Layla: Thank you for helping me… But where's my dog?
Kitsune, Layla and Nana hear the whimpering of a dog. Kitsune waves the flashlight at where she heard it, and found Rocky with a wound in his chest.
Layla: ROCKY! *runs and holds Rocky* Rocky, it's okay, it's okay!
Rocky jolts for one second, and dies.
Layla: *sobs* ROCKY!
Kitsune and Nana both try to comfort her, but the death of Rocky was too much for Layla, leaving her upset.
Kitsune: There is one thing I can do. *snaps fingers and Layla, Kitsune, Nana and Rocky are all in the parlour*
Layla: How will this bring my beloved Rocky back?
Kitsune: Trust me, it'll be easy once I do this. *snaps cast who has not been killed*

Kitsune: Before we get down with business, we have to do the usual Truths and Dares. Layla, why don't you start us off?
Layla: Okay.
Mint, I am very sorry for stuffing chicken butt in your mouth...
Mint: I don't care.
Layla: Share this cheesecake with Deep Blue. *gives her cheesecake*
Mint: You know, you really didn't have to do this.
Layla: But I had to. Kitsune, Use this. *gives her bottle from necklace* Use it wisely...
Kitsune: That sounds bad.
Layla: Ichigo, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?
Ichigo: Because everyone would label me as a killer.
Nana: Guess what: Everyone in this room is a suspect.
Layla: *pokes Kisshu*
Kisshu: *cries*
Layla: I really need to work on my timing.
Kitsune: Haven't you noticed the other two aliens missing?
Pudding and Zakuro: *cries*
Kitsune: Okay, I really shouldn't have said that in front of them. However, we were able to get a videotape with Masaya before he died yet again.
Kitsune puts the videotape in VCR and Masaya appears on the giant video screen.
Masaya: Hello everyone. If I die yet again, then this will probably be the last time you'll see me.
Kitsune: Well duh.
Masaya: I do not know who killed Eclipse, but if you look in the kitchen, you can see a knife that is stabbed into his back. If you can get the knife, then the mystery will be solved.
The videotape stops.
Kitsune: Well, you heard the baka. I'll get the knife in the kitchen.
30 seconds later…
Kitsune: *opens door* I'm back! And I have the results!
Mint, Lettuce, Ryou, Deep Blue, Alyssa, Elliot, Nilla, Riruko and Peter Griffin are all killed differently: Mint and Deep Blue are killed by their stomachs blowing up, Lettuce and Ryou both were stabbed in the head, Alyssa and Elliot were shot with only one arrow, Nilla was crushed by a giant hammer, Riruko was shot in the heart, and Peter Griffin was killed by watching Mannequin.
Kitsune: I better do this quickly. But before I read the results, Blue Knight must- oh wait, I can't revive anyone until I know who the killer is. So I have an alternative solution! *snaps fingers*
Blue Knight's body is seen falling out the window. A thud and splatter sound is heard.
Kitsune: And Layla?
Layla whacks Jay over the head with a hammer, but that, too, kills him.
Layla: Don't you dare try and hit me with a hammer! *glares*
Kitsune looks at Layla suspiciously then looks back at the room.
Kitsune: Okay, now that business is done, now we can move onto the results. The knife has blood on the blade, as usual, but the handle has ice cream on it.
Everyone else doesn't know who it is.
Kitsune: Guess who likes ice cream that much?
Everyone else looks at Sachiko, but Sachiko looks at Nana.
Kitsune: Why did you do this, Sachiko?
Sachiko: I didn't kill Eclipse! I was framed!
Kitsune: If you have an alibi, then you're cleared.
Sachiko: Well, I was only storing the ice cream in the fridge, two hours before the incident, one hour during the Eclipse/Elliot encounter. While I was getting a scoop of ice cream, I accidentally spilled some ice cream on the handle of the knife.
Nana: What does this prove?
Sachiko: Let me finish. Even though I did spill ice cream on the handle, I never touched the knife at all. I touch ice cream cones way more than knives.
Nana: That's a lie, isn't it, Kitsune?
Kitsune: Actually, she's telling the truth. In all my years that I've known Sachiko, she is telling the truth. I did watch the surveillance camera during my investigation, and it revealed a female killer…
BOOMBOX: Well, at least I'm not a killer. *laughs*
Everyone looks at BOOMBOX in a serious way.
BOOMBOX: *stops laughing* Too soon, was it?
Kitsune: …with blonde hair.
Pudding and Nana both look awkwardly.
Kitsune: …and she's a hostess.
Everyone turns to Nana.
Nana: But I never killed anyone at all!
Kitsune: Talk to the surveillance videotape!
Nana: Okay. Hi videotape!
Kitsune: *slaps Nana* You idiot. *plops videotape into VCR*
The movie shows Eclipse in the kitchen noticing ice cream on the handle.
Eclipse: I wonder who put ice cream on the handle…
Sachiko looks sheepishly. Meanwhile, Nana sneaks up behind Eclipse.
Eclipse: Well, I better wash it for the hostess.
Nana puts chloroform on the dishcloth, and puts it over Eclipse's mouth. Eclipse struggles to escape, but falls face down. Nana then grabs the knife handle covered in ice cream, and stabs Eclipse in the back. Nana then runs away, and the videotape ends.
Nana: *panics* I can explain.
Zakuro: *pounces onto Nana and holds her down* NO YOU CAN'T! YOU KILLED ECLIPSE, AND THE VIDEOTAPES DON'T LIE! YOU ALSO KILLED MY LOVER!
Pudding: Nana's a liar, na no da!
Ichigo: YOU KILLED KISSHU!
Kisshu: No she didn't.
Ichigo: Oh, sorry. But she did kill a lot of people.
Sachiko: YOU FRAMED ME!
Layla: YOU KILLED MY DOG!
Nana is trying to escape from Zakuro's grasp, but Zakuro transforms into a wolf and eats at Nana's neck. Everyone else looks away.
Kitsune: So Layla, what was the bottle for? Drinking? Reviving?
Layla: *whispers something inaudible*
Kitsune: Oh.
Zakuro turns back to normal and gets up. She spits out the neck bones and blood into the fire place.
Zakuro: *sighs* That felt good.
Kitsune: I'll never look at her the same way, again. Okay, now that that's done… *snaps fingers, and everyone except Nana is revived*
Eclipse, Blue Knight, Jay, Nilla, Peter Griffin, Taruto, Pai, Lettuce, Ryou, Elliot, Alyssa, Deep Blue, Mint, Riruko, Gin, Nilla, Jay, Keiichiro, Masaya and Rocky enter the door and congratulate Kitsune and Zakuro. Rocky jumps into Layla's arms and barks to her.
Layla: Rocky, you're alive! You're alive!
BOOMBOX: What should we do about the murderer?
Kitsune: Don't worry, I have a punishment of my own.
Later…
Nana, with her neck back, tied up, is thrown into the middle of nowhere by Kitsune.
Kitsune: If you ever come back, I will kill you.
Nana: Please don't do this!
Kitsune: You're too late. If you didn't kill Eclipse, I would've respected you. But the fact that you tried to kill everyone else just wrecked all of it. Goodbye.
Kitsune gets into the car and is driven away.
Nana: Well, this sucks. How can I gain her trust now?
Kitsune: I hope I did the right thing.
BOOMBOX: Don't worry about that. We all do things that we're all not proud of.
Kitsune: I guess you're right, James.
BOOMBOX: !
Nilla: Who is this 'James' you were talking about?
Kitsune: Well, I'll reveal all in the next chapter.
Jay: It kind of reminds me when the time I was revealed by my sister.
Kitsune: *headache* That was one hell of a surprise. I just thought you were a rival ninja.
Jay: I am! I even beaten Nilla before, and I can do it again!
Kitsune: Well, for your sake, I hope you're right. Please review, Minna!
