Chapter 16
Later that day, Sango has to get to class, and she knows where Koga's class is. But to make sure she doesn't get caught by him, she has to be very stealthy. As she enters the building, she sees him talking with some of his friends. She has no idea what they're talking about. She picks up the little camera she got from her younger brother. As she casually walks behind him she flicks her fingers at a precise spot. His backpack. Even better into the hidden pocket inside of the item. She enters the restroom, and sends the text message to Kohaku to let him know that she completed her part.
Back at Sango's apartment, Kohaku opens up his laptop to make sure that the camera is working. He made sure that camera is fully charged for a few days. That's more than enough to get the information that is needed to confirm rather or not he's been lying or telling the truth the entire time. He puts on the headphones and turns on the camera as well as the little microphone that was installed into it.
A few minutes later, Koga steps into his classroom to resume his studies. None of the others knows evactly what he wants to be when he graduates. It's a mystery that will take time to solve. "Hey there, Koga." One of Koga's friends sits next. "Hey there Hakkaku." Koga greets back. Hakkaku has a spiked hair do. He's dress in loose jeans, a black t-shirt and a pair of sneakers. "What brings you here? You're not in this class." Koga states as he leans back in his seat. Hakkaku looks at him. "Something has happened." He bluntly tells. "Koga, you know you can tell me anything. I promise not to tell anyone else." Hakkaku places his hand onto Koga's shoulder to calm him down. "I'll tell you when I'm done here." Koga looks to him with a casual smile. Hakkaku agrees and leaves the classroom before the professor finds a student that didn't sign up for this. Little did Koga knows, he's going to reveal something that someone else will get.
About an hour later, Koga grabs his backpack and leaves the classroom. He knows where he likes to go to. The lounge. He knows perfectly well that it's empty at this time of the day. He texts Hakkaku where to meet him. A ding tells him that Hakkaku will be there shortly. Koga arrives at the lounge and sits on a sofa. He sets the backpack onto the table. Hakkaku comes in shortly after. "What's on your mind, Koga?" He asks as he sits on the sofa across from him.
"I was with my father yesterday." Koga begins. Hakkaku was told a few years ago that his father ran a business in the city. But they hardly see each other that often. "That's something. Why did he wanted to see you?" Hakkaku sits back onto the back of the sofa. "My father is accusing me that I did some horrible things to Kagome." Koga tells him right off the bat. Hakkaku is now confused Never in his life was he told that Koga would do such a thing to Koga. Sure he was aware about their marriage. But the new information isn't something anyone's friend should hear. "My father met Kagome's parents earlier that day, telling him that me and Kagome are divorced. I wasn't told anything about this. I was here taking my exam." Koga tells his friend.
Hakkaku holds his chin in a thinking manner. "Maybe someone is imposing you without knowing it." Koga can tell that he has a point. It's true that he was out of town for a few years for different reasons. He wasn't even around with Kagome for the last years they were married. "That could be. But we have no clue on who it is that's been imposing me. We're at a dead end. No leads of signs." He comments back.
Back at the apartment Kohaku eavesdrops on the entire conversation. 'How could he be out of town for so long, unaware about Kagome being a victim. I have to figure this out.' Kohaku thinks to himself. He made sure he recorded the video and sound.
"And to make things worse, Sango said that you went to Kagome's apartment despite being on a restraining order from the judge." Hakkaku tells Koga for what else he's been missing all this time. "My old man showed me the reports from the court. If that's something to make sure I'm innocent, we would have a lie detector. A polygraph. It's the only way to set things straight." He tells his friend. "If so where would you find one?" Hakkaku asks him curiously. "I bet my father would know someone who does such a thing. I better give him a call." Koga answers as he picks up his cell phone from his jacket pocket.
After a few rings, the person on the other line speaks. "Hirako speaking." Hirako tells to the other person. "Dad. It's me." Koga tells him immediately. "Koga what a surprise. I would never expect you to call me at my office." Hirako speaks normally. "It's important. Do you have a free time?" Koga asks him. "In about an hour, why?" Hirako speaks back. "This may sound crazy. But do you know someone who does a lie detector test?" Kagome asks him anxiously. It took Hirako a few seconds. "I have my friend in the next town over. Is it because of what happened yesterday?" He asks his son. "Dad, I know for that I'm innocent. And I can prove it to you with that." Koga tells his father confidently. "I'll meet you over there. I'll send you the address." Hirako hangs up.
Koga waits for the text for the address on where he is supposed to meet his father. "So he knows someone in particular?" Hakkaku stands after him. "Yeah he's a lawyer. And to make sure he convinces judges, he has done a technique to prove. Come on." He leads him out of the building and straight to his car. Little did they know that someone was spying on them the entire time.
