I was pacing furiously. How could it not be Leon?! That made no complete sense!!. "UGH!" I walked to the nearest wall and began banging my head against it. All the progress we made was brought down to nothing!

"I need to see Cassia." I told Riku and Kaugra who were watching me warily.

"Go for it." Riku said.

I walked to Cassia's room and plopped onto her bed with a groan. "Cas, you'll never guess what happened." I said with my face buried in a pillow. What? I was frustrated.

"Leon. Is. Dead. Oh and Inuyasha has another hole through his chest." I said. I watched Cassia for some kind of reaction.

Her eyebrows were knit together as if she was confused. "About Leon or Inuyasha?" I asked. Then I blinked. "Okay breath heavily is you say Inuyasha groan if it's Leon." It was obvious she was going to wake up soon because she was slowly coming back.

"Mmmm." Cassia groaned.

"Ahh. When Inuyasha died, Sesshomaru got PISSED. He went to Leon's room to beat him into a pulp but when we got there we saw Leon on the ground dead. There was an empty glass on the floor. Then I saw a bottle of poison. Tetrachlorodrine." I explained. "It kills you in like five minutes. He had been dead for fifteen."

Then Cassia began to breathe heavily.

"Okay. Right after we left the room with Riku, Riku went to his room while Axel showed me... Something... "

Cassia snorted angrily. Probably nothing.

"When Riku came back we hung out in my room for a bit and about ten minutes later, we heard Kagome scream. We ran to her room and saw Inuyasha dead. He had a pike through his chest. There was a huge train wreck at the door and then we got the pike out. That's when we went to Leon's room." I continued.

Cassia raised an eyebrow.

"Oh. The pike? We found a pile of them in the basement." I explained.

She let out a breath as if saying 'oh'.

"Yup." I said. "So now who dunnit?" I asked.

She was quiet then a small shrug.

"Hmm. I wish you were awake." I groaned. "I'm lonely. I've been hanging out with Riku but it's not the same. Also, I feel weird like I'm talking to myself."

A small giggle.

"Yay!" I said happily. "I mean. Good. You're getting back to normal." I cleared my throat.

Her eyebrows went lower as if she was glaring.

"By normal I mean awake and completely alive." I said.

"Ahh!" I heard Riku yell.

I ran out of the room. "What happened??" I asked.

"Kaugra just dropped dead! I don't know what happened." He shouted.

"What?" I heard a hiss. Sesshomaru had just appeared out of no where.

He took one look at her and walked up the stairs quickly. We followed. Rin was too scared so she ran to Cassia's room.

Sesshomaru was searching Kaugra's room for something.

"What are you looking for?" I asked.

"Her heart." He said.

"Umm, I think that it's downstairs where it should be?" I said.

"No. Kaugra's heart is kept in a box which she keeps in her room. If the heart is destroyed she dies." Sesshomaru explained.

"Like Davy Jones." Riku said.

"Who?" Sesshomaru asked still searching.

"Nothing." Riku looked down. He plopped onto the ground and his foot hit something. "This it?" He asked.

Sesshomaru saw an empty box lying next to Riku. He began to growl.

Rin ran into the room and hugged Sesshomaru tightly. "Please don't be angry." She said.

Sesshomaru hugged her back. "The box had a lock. How could someone open it?"

"Maybe someone broke the lock." I suggested. Then I noticed the lock was intact.

"So they found the key?" Riku said.

Sesshomaru went behind the bed and pulled a brick out of the wall. Inside a hiddedn compartment was the key. "I don't think so." He said.

"Magic?" Rin suggested.

"But who knows magic who's still alive?" I asked.

"Lord Sesshomaru, can I have some candy?" Rin asked. "I feel sad and Cassia told me that sweets always make you better."

"Did Cassia really say that?" Sesshomaru asked skeptically.

"Yeah before and when I was with her I remembered. And she smiled when I visited her!" Rin said.

Sesshomaru nodded. "I'll get it. But Dorian's coming with me." He said.

"I'm gonna wait in Cassia's room!" Rin shouted.

"I'll go see Axel." Riku said.

Me and Sesshomaru went to the kitchen and got the jar that was supposed to hold candy.

He opened it and his eyes widened. I looked in the jar and gasped.

There was Kaugra's heart chopped inoto little pieces and scattered amongst the candy. I nearly gagged.

I dropped the jar onto the counter.

Sesshomaru's eyes started turning red.

"Oh shit." I said and ran out of the room. I ran into Cassia's room and hid under the bed.

"What's wrong Dorian?" Rin asked happily.

"Nothing I'm just playing hide and seek." I said.

"Who are you hiding from?" Rin asked.

"No one..."

"Are you hiding from Lodr Sesshomaru?" She asked.

"Uhh yeah?" I said not sure if I should lie or not.

"Oh! Did you find the candy?" She asked.

"Umm." I dug around in my pocket.

"I know, I'll ask Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin said running out of the room.

"No!" I shouted trying to stand but smacking my head on the bottom of the bed. "Oof!"

I finally crawled out to the stairs and saw Rin and Sesshomaru in the lounge. Rin was hugging Sesshomaru who was calming down.

Then I passed out because of the lump on my head.

When I woke up I was in my room. Axel was there. "Riku put you here..." He said. "Now Dorian I must tell you, that little girl has been screaming and crying for the past five minutes and she will not stop!" He shouted lifting Rin up.

"Oh my god. What happened Rin?" I asked.

She started babbling incoherently. I heard a few words like : 'Sesshomaru...Knives...Poison...Dead...Wahh!'

I picked up Rin and put her into the hallway. "Where is Sesshomaru?" I asked.

"Lounge. Tifa and Riku are trying to get the body to the tomb. Sephiroth had to drag Rin out of there." Axel replied.

Demyx poked his head out from behind Axel. "Where'd Rin go? She wanted me to get her candy so I got some from Axel's stash." he said.

"I'll get her." I went to the hallway to see that Rin was running into Cassia's room.

I walked in after her.

"Wake up! WAKE up! Wake UP! WAKE UP!" She said punching Cassia's stomach gently.

Cassia groaned. "Stop hitting me." She said as she sat up.

"Cassia!" Rin and I both shouted as we tackled her.

"Gah! Get off me!" Cassia said.

"Sorry." We said but for Rin it came out as "Sowy."

"Aww, okay now what happened Rin?" Cassia asked.

"Lord Sesshomaru's dead too! And Kaugra!" Rin sobbed.

Cassia's eyes turned red. "Great, Erela's dead, Sesshomaru's dead and Inuyasha's practically dead!" She growled. "ooh killer's gonna die."

"I thought that already happened." Rin said while rubbing her eyes.

"No Leon was innocent." I explained.

"Apparently." Cassia added.

"No he just commited suicide and his ghost is killing everyone." I said sarcastically.

Rin sniffled.

Demyx walked in with some Candy. "Cassia you're awake?" He asked.

"Yeah thanks to this little munchkin." Cassia replied while tickling Rin.

Rin giggled a bit.

"Well, now that that's settled, I'm gonna see what's going on with the others." I said after hugging Cassia thightly.

"Oh by the way Dorian," Cassia began sweetly. Then she narrowd her eyes. "I heard you."

Kalo: Ouch.

Chaos: Haha.

Kalo: So, there's not much to say is there?

Chaos: Except next chapter's gonna be a little interesting. I wonder if Cassia's gonna get revenge.

Kalo: Everyone's gonna get revenge... In three chapters.

Chaos: RIGHT. Three chapters left.

Kalo: Thirteen chapter in all. Our goal is to finish before the end of summer so that shouldn't be hard.

Chaos: Well, rate and review!

Kalo: Say who you think did it, who you want us to be a bit nicer to, uhh, no more time to put in new characters, say any ideas for deaths, any clues you picked up, and some thoughts. The longer the better!

Chaos: Yup! Bye bye!
