A/N: Sorry I haven't updated...
~.~
tests
you wouldn't believe what they can do to a completely average person
turn us into perfect basket cases I tell ya
well... you would know, right?
"Somehow I don't find this really um, fair."
Both Kouyuu and Seiran cocked an eyebrow at Shuuei's weak argument. It was already unlike him to stammer in his speech, and now question of fairness?
"Alright, let's hear it then," Seiran started, indicating his somewhat mocking interest with a sideways smirk. Shuuei found that a challenge.
"The time in the video. You were only convinced at the very end, and only coming to the guilty-is-charged fact then. So strictly speaking, we are not deemed culpable for that amount of time," he replied, with the slightest hint of pleading in his tone. "So I feel you should give us that time to esca- um… think over our faults and conclude whoever is guilty. Right, Kouyuu?"
Having miraculously understood that, Kouyuu nodded fervently, seeing this as the light within darkness; the gateway to heaven in hell.
Amused by his "friend's" suggestion, let a single muted laugh escape through his lips.
"Alright then," he agreed. Then the sudden sadism-wave flooded him. "What I think though, is that because guilt is ridden at the end of the hall video while the time in the classroom video is just proving you responsible, the second clip's time should be nullified. As court time. No, Kouyuu?" He smirked at the boy's lack of response, knowing he wouldn't deny something that makes absolute sense wrong, even if it meant- well, even if it meant his life.
Funny how two things relate, no?
Shuuei scowled lightly at his friend's unsupportive answer, and then sighed, knowing their fate. But there was that single trump card… the wild card he's been digging the deck to find. Now, on the last draw, he can only hope his luck would carry him through. Of course, by the way Seiran's eyes reverted onto the thoughtful Kouyuu's face, he knew where the trump card laid too.
"But wait…" Kouyuu started.
Yes! Shuuei could see the light now! Continue, my God! Continue the argument for their time of freedom!
"The second video... we didn't state the evidence. At least, not from the start," he noted, voice rising slightly as he realized the importance off his discovery. "So all in all, we should get the time from the first video PLUS the time from the start of the second video to where the confirmations became evident."
He looked up at the two boys' eyes; one filled with shocked admiration and one with shocked hope.
"The first video time is 2 minutes and 23 seconds, and the second until the talking would be… about half the video. So more or less 2 and a half minutes," Kouyuu calculated, eyes closed in concentration.
"So that's 5 minutes," concluded Shuuei, a satisfied grin on his lips. Of course, 5 minutes is a lot if you know how to spend it. Why, the boy's already plotting the absolute ways of escape through the school. Until Seiran isn't that angry anymore, at the very least. So until he meets Ryuuki… Shuuei grimaced inwardly as he redirected the paths again to find and urge Ryuuki to talk with Seiran. "For the sake of two good friends," he would say.
"Alright then," Seiran approved after minutes deep in thought. A small smile rested on his lips, expressing the reluctant approval he held for Kouyuu's smarts. Not the first time the thought had rushed to his head, "Kouyuu would make a great lawyer… if he'd try."
"Five minutes it is."
As soon as the last word left his lips, Shuuei took off like a rabbit, pulling the scholar behind him. Seiran made a note to remember that they had taken a right swerve, and judging by the echo of Kouyuu's yelp, they took a left right after that. Despite the map in his mind, Seiran knew there were more than 25 plotted ways someone could get away from his attention for several days, most likely more if that someone was Ran Shuuei. Said boy has enough charm and influence to avoid the whole international SWAT team for a week, for crying out loud.
With a sigh and a quick glance at his silver Rolex, the boy knew he would have to search the whole school manually for those two.
Well, Seiran thought with a smirk as he pulled his touch-screen cell. Maybe not completely manual.
