*I apologize for the delay. I thought I would have time to write, but apparently that wasn't the case, I am barely managing this chapter since today has been my only day off in a long time. This one will be really short, sorry.

*Idk-I do attempt to make them sort of funny, but I wasn't sure if others would think so lol. I'm glad that you do find them funny. Oh and about the park, I am glad that you brought that up because I had the same idea, though that won't happen until later.

*Thank-you all for reading, reviewing, favoriting, and following! Your reviews mean a lot!

"Didn't I say to stay away for a while?" Naru glared at Shin, but Shin ignored him.

"Don't be so rude Naru." I glared at him before facing Shin once again. "Did you need something or need to tell us something Shin?" I asked him.

"Well, I just wanted to apologize, I didn't…." Shin started to say.

"I think you already apologized, I think if you apologize even more, your apology will just seem like…"Naru started saying before I cut him off.

"You seriously need to learn your manners, you can't cut off people when they are talking," I fumed.

"My manners? How about yours? You just cut me off as well, so if I were you, I wouldn't be saying anything," he smirked.

"I only cut you off because you were cutting Shin off!" I exclaimed as I got up from the couch.

"Even so, you still cut me off," Naru pointed out.

"Well…well…"

"I don't mean to interrupt, but I just really came to apologize before I head out to school," Shin sheepishly said.

"Oh, sorry about that. There is no need to apologize, I am sure it wasn't you," I smiled at him.

"Yeah well, either way, I still feel bad even though the other twin told me that I was possessed. Anyways, I hope to see you see when I get home because I never got to tell you what I wanted to say," Shin said.

"Oh, okay," I smiled at him.

"Well, I think I should inform you that we will most likely be gone before you come back home," Naru said with a smirk on his face.

"What?" Shin frowned.

"Seems like we solved most of the case already. We just need to figure out what possessed you, which shouldn't take to long, so we should be packing up as soon as the others wake up and when we inform your parents."

"Oh," Shin sighed disappointedly. He soon left as he heard his name called out to leave for school because he would be late.

After Shin left, Naru and I had another hour before the rest of the group came in. Naru went to look over the notes that had been taken and since I didn't have anything to do, I fell asleep from boredom.


Dream

I was sacred. My heart was beating erratically and I felt like my legs were going to give in at any moment. But then I felt warmth. Warm. His hand was warm. His large and scarred hand gripped my tiny hand and I felt all my worries disappear. I looked up at him and any lingering fear disappeared as I saw his reassuring smile. He gave me strength to go on. He then knelt down so he could be at level with me and told me there was no reason for me to worry. He also told me that I would be fine and that I would love school. He gave me a hug and then whispered to me the words that would be engrained in me for the rest of my life.

"Hold on to the things you believe in. Hold on to courage. And don't let anything discourage you."

He gave me a kiss on the forehead before standing up and giving me another smile.

"I love you," he said as I started turning the doorknob. However, I ran and hugged him one last time once I saw a tear slide down his cheek.

"I love you too." When I let him go, he smiled at me once more, before he faded away.

End dream


I bolted upright from my position on the couch but my head still hung low. I could feel the tears streaming down my face, but I didn't make an attempt to cover them up because I knew there was no use. I didn't realize my fists were clenched until I felt Naru's hand cautiously touch my own. I slowly unclenched them at his touch and I cautiously wrapped my hand around his and he gave my hand a slight squeeze as to comfort me in his own way.

Warm.

I small smile gradually appeared on my face. I smiled at the fact that his hand was surprisingly warm.

*0_0 Um…I am still trying to figure out how this came about. I was going to write more about the case, but…the idea sort of took control lol.

*I feel bad but I will most likely not post until the second week of May, but it cannot be avoided.

*I know it was short, but it was better than nothing at all, I hope. It it wasn't, well, then I don't know.

~Until next time (unfortunately, not until the first or second week of May.
