With the needle like hair-clip, Ryo worked like a perfect medical student, busy at a dissection. He carefully cut the picture out of its frame, and there it was! On the frame just below the picture, was a circular thing wrapped in a piece of paper. It was hidden so well that even Ryo wondered if it was Kaori who did it. Saeko, Sayuri and the Old Doc's eyes' widened as they saw it. Ryo on the other hand, was nonchalant as ever. With a gesture of his hand, he called Saeko close to him and whispered something in her ears. Saeko nodded and immediately disappeared through the door taking the small paper-wrapped thing with her. Umibozu couldn't understand anything, so he just became the silent observer of everything that was going on in the room. Even Miki couldn't muster the courage to ask anything to Ryo. Only Sayuri gathered all her courage and came before him. "Please tell me what's happening here Mr. City Hunter! Where is my sister? How do you know her? How are both of you connected with each other? Please answer me! Please…….." she begged, falling on her knees. It was Ryo who picked her up by her shoulders. Miki was astonished seeing his eyes. The eyes didn't resemble that of a pervert, instead those eyes resembled that of a man in a deep, intolerable pain. Umibozu too left the room. Sayuri didn't expect the man who was such a pervert a few minutes ago, to give such a reaction to so small a question. She too stared at Ryo blankly. The look of his eyes stayed for just a few minutes, before they again changed to that of a lecherous pervert. Miki sighed as she saw Sayuri hit him hard with the same 1000 tonne hammer which was characteristic of Kaori. Ryo was shocked to his core, seeing the hammer in her hands and just after getting hit, said "Seems peculiarly familiar Sayuri-Chan!"
While this drama was being performed at one end of Shinjuku city, there was something else going on in the same city too. In one of the numerous churches present there, a peculiar eerie man and a beautiful tomboyish girl with red hairs were getting married. The red-haired girl looked no less than an angel in the spotless white wedding dress, and the eerie man was somewhat off-beat in the black tuxedo he was wearing. Somehow, both of them didn't match up at all. It seemed that the girl deserved someone much better. The priest and the bride-groom were standing at the altar and the bride was walking on the red carpet through the main door of the cathedral. Let's clear our concepts: The red-haired girl is none other than Kaori Makimura, and about the eerie man? Well, let's see who he turns out to be. Kaori was walking on the red carpet and suddenly something happened to her. Her legs stopped moving. In her mind, there were flashes of some incidents. She had been in such situation before too. She just couldn't remember when, or how. All she could visualize in the flashes, was that there was someone else with her, someone who wore a blue overcoat on a red t-shirt and black trousers. His eyes were much deeper than they seemed to be. Kaori's heart pounded faster and faster before her legs gave way, and she fell on the carpet there itself. Just before she blacked out, she remembered something and muttered "R…yo….." Lot of people came running to the girl who blacked out on the carpet. The priest had a smirk on his lips. "It's alright. It happens often before marriage. After all, marriage is the biggest change in the life of a girl. So she happens to be in a mental trauma which often results in such mishaps. So nothing to worry" He went on to explain the spectators of the marriage. Just as Kaori was falling on the carpet, the bride-groom had already lunged for her. As she blacked out, he had a hard face with clenched jaws. It seemed that he was really disturbed seeing this incident. He quietly took the bride in his arms and went towards the limousine parked just in front of the cathedral. After he carefully placed the fainted bride on the back seat, he drove with a considerable speed and disappeared in the roads of Shinjuku.
After Ryo went out to the room, he finally realized that it was gradually becoming dark outside as he could no longer see the sun. His memories started flashing before his eyes again. He felt as if Kaori was there with him, beside him. It seemed that she would shout at him all of a sudden. Ryo's brow darkened with anxiety. He remembered of the instance where he had a peculiar case once: Two brothers had tried to murder his client Asakura Tomomi, to prevent that he had to arrange for a fake incident of marriage. Kaori had become the bride, while he had become the groom himself. He still remembered how beautiful Kaori looked in that wedding dress. She was a scene to look at. As she caught him gazing at her blankly, she had blushed and asked "What do you think you are looking at, Ryo?" with a frown on her forehead. Ryo had to lie to come out of the situation, but god knows he wanted to take her in his arms and kiss her and propose her then and there itself, but he was afraid then. Ryo repented for that moment today. After all, it was Kaori he was thinking about. He subconsciously went up the lift of the deserted building which had become his unofficial abode when Kaori was seemingly dead. Ryo sighed as he went to the balcony of the terrace and gazed at the now-dark sky with numerous stars. "I don't know how to save you Kaori. I can't think of any way out of this never-ending nightmare. Show me a way out Kaori. Please show me a way out. We didn't ever stay apart when we weren't in love. And now when both of us know that we love each other, look at us…….. " Ryo's eyes bubbled with tears. Suddenly, after quite a bit of time, again, his sixth sense aware him of a danger beforehand. He ducked against the balcony, cocked his 0.357 Colt Python and waited for the right moment. Out of nowhere he fired at the construction site next to the terrace of the building he was on. "Robert!" he grumped in between his jaws, moments later a shrill cry rung in the evening air. Ryo bolted towards the life and after reaching the basement, furiously dashed at the construction site.
