Ten minutes back in the cage and her was pacing the six foot cell ready to claw her eyes out with her nails that had already grown back if she had to make her feel the slightest bit better or distract her the slightest.
This cage was sadly better than the ones that she was used to.
She was not panicking just a little stressed out and she did not like the view that she as seeing because she had seen better ones and she wanted the HELL out of there and she wanted out now.
She sat down on the bed hoping that it would calm her down and just maybe she would stop shaking like a leaf.
Then she heard people coming and coming towards her cell and those voices were familiar to her very familiar indeed.
"Do you want to tell me why your finger prints are an identical match?" demanded Sato waving the papers.
Her fingers and the Edowaga Shirley ones that belonged to her as well. The piece of paper was thrown into the cell right beside her it landed on the ground and she picked it up looking at it.
She just shook her head because she did not want to a single word knowing the moment that they heard her voice there would be a lot more to happen next.
"Sato?" shouted Takagi.
She heard him coming as he sheepishly shouted at her and she could see that he was bringing her lunch. Then she saw the rings and the look in Sato's eyes and the mood that she was in was not because of what she first thought it was and she could not help but smile.
"You two got married and now a your pregnant congratulations" said Shinichi.
But the both turned white when she said it.
"Y-your? W-we are...PREGNANT?" said a panicked Takagi.
'Oh shit, that was one way to break the news' she thought as she bit her nails.
Sato was not saying a word she was just touching and rubbing her stomach in shock and in stun just standing there still very still.
"Sato?" said Takagi.
"Well that would explain the mood swings and the cravings. It would explain a lot of things actually and would explain why I can smell cheese" said Sato.
They both looked at her, and she gulped as she did she wanted to be anywhere else in the world right now because she did not want to be this drama when the volcano erupted. It was all sinking in and they wanted an explanation from her on how she knew because she knew that look and she did not like seeing that look.
Instead, she smiled sheepishly and just shrugged her shoulders. She was wishing more than ever that the earth would swallow her whole in that moment with a hole in the ground or anything would just happen to stop her being the centre of attention right now. She really hated being the centre of attention even though she used to love it and drown in it and crave for the next fix that she could get but not anymore she would never feel that way again.
She just could not help herself.
"Well I see that you two have got married and usually in marriage they say that they can let themselves go, but this is not always true especially for women and newly married couple. I can see that you have bought new clothes two sizes bigger. Your cup sizes have bigger gotten that happened in pregnancies and I know that you are not the type to get any kind of unnecessary surgeries. You have gained weight, and you are an athletic type of person and given your job you do get a lot of exercise. Also, you may have not noticed this, but I am just guessing you have stopped wearing high heels looking at you shoes are comfortable and have been wearing them for a couple of weeks. The way you keep standing would say that you have some tension in your back, and that is why you are not wearing heels and because of your feet as well. Your abdomen as well but that is given" said Shinichi.
She took a brief pause.
"I also saw your desk when I came in quickly. You usually keep your desk clean and tidy but I was able to see that it was disorganized and well the amount of food wrappers and empty containers in it. And well I could keep going but I would be better just giving you some breathing room and you would be better discussing this in private" said Shinichi.
At that moment Takagi immediately opened the jail cell, and she was rather taken a bac from this.
"You are free to go" said Takagi.
But then Sato stood right in front of her entering the cell pulling Takagi along with her.
"But first you will need to fill in some forms and give your information, also would you like to get in contact with someone or a lawyer?" said Sato.
She really did not want to get into all of this and just new that she should have kept her big shut but instead she just had to speak her mind like she always does and sometimes regrets. That was usually when she unintentionally insulted someone without realizing it and saying something that made thing go all wrong.
" Fine thanks for locking me up for nothing I am going to sue all of you for this just because I look this way you arrest me for nothing" she said and quickly dodged past the both of them.
She did not dare to look back as she was still holding the finger prints results in her hands. She was just hoping that she would not bump into anyone else and could just sneak out and lose the police that were trying to do their best to follow her without being seen at the same time.
It was Takagi and Sato that were following her.
"Hmph Sato...Do you think ?...I mean...she really does look like Kudo and even sounds like her" said Takagi.
Sato had rarely ever met Kudo Shinichi just heard a great deal from her and was proud of the fact that there was another Great Female Detective in the department, even if she was a High Schooler and not an official Detective. She could not help but he proud that there was another strong female on the Division because there was never enough and she was tired just working with men.
But the times she had met Kudo she could feel that strong and bold aura from the girl and she was getting the exact same aura feeling from this girl. Even though the world knew her to be dead there was no body and not enough evidence other than the blood to say that she was dead.
"Shirley and Kudo were cousins right" stated Sato.
Takagi nodded.
"And when was the last time Edowaga Shirley was spotted. I mean don't you think that it is a bit weird that both of them are well the way they are?" said Sato..
"W-who on earth are you?" said Takagi.
"Oh. Well, if you want to know...Then I will tell you. In the next world" said Shirley.
He could not help but think about playing out over again in his head since the anniversary of that day and he was thinking of it again today when he saw the Kudo look alike.
"Yeah it is spooky" said Takagi.
"Have you ever thought that there was more to the eye to that little girl because sometimes I swore she is just as smart as half of the Detective that we work with?" said Sato.
He did follow her every world without a doubt or was always sucked in.
"I guess we had a relationship much like Megure had with Kudo" he said out loud as he thought of it.
He did not realize he had said it until he had finished his sentence and wanted to take it back the moment he had said it.
"Yeah you do" said Sato agreeing.
They were just watching the girl as she was leaving and being discreet was possible they could see that she was hiding something. They all could see it by her behaviour and the nervousness that she was showing would make you think that she was up to something because she was acting like a suspect right now.
"Have you ever found it strange that when Kudo disappears Shirley turned up and when Shirley disappears Kudo appeared for sometime?" said Sato.
He then told her everything about the day.
They had to find Edowaga Shirley and they had to keep following this girl because they did not say it aloud but they both agreed that there was a possibility about this girl and they had to know for sure.
Jii was able to get all the stuff proving that she was there and even managed to wipe down the bars down that she was had touched. Poor Jii was going to be stuck in the cell being drunk and would not get out for the next day, well that is what the police that arrested him would think.
Or not because he was that police man.
And just his luck his girlfriend had been let go five minutes before he had got there and put his plan to work. Right now he was just playing to clean up, and he was not happy with that kind of work because it was boring and uneventful.
But seeing two familiar detectives whispering he could see that she was not far and that he could catch up with her in no time at all. He was just not used to running and his skills were not up to scratch as they used to be but right now he needed them to be so it was going to have to be.
He knew his Shin-Chan, and he knew one of the routes that she could take to get rid of people following her because he had done it many times and it had been done to her before. So he was just able to catch up with her in no time at all, and he was not seen by the other two detectives how seemed a little distracted and he could not lame them either.
Looking at all the Detectives in the division, he could not help but feel sorry for them and wanted to tell them the good news more than anything but sadly he knew she would have told them if she wanted them to know the truth.
"Shin-Chan" he said as he put his hand on her shoulder.
But to his surprise he was being flipped right onto the ground and all he was seeing was a pair of blue eyes and he just ignored the pain in his back as he smiled looking up at her eyes.
"Shin-Chan!" he said happily.
She looked annoyed at him as she put her hand out to help him up and he grabbed it happily as he pulled her into a hug and then kissed her.
But she broke the kiss and stood back.
"I told you never to sneak up on me and stop calling me that" said Shinichi.
He hugged her again, and he was happy that she did not fight back.
"I had to last my Shin-Chan was really my Shin-Chan because the last time I thought I saw you and it was not my Shin-Chan. It was just a look alike of my Shin-Chan and was a very evil person that lured me in like a stranger with candy and well Shin-Chan would never do anything like that to me. Evil copy cat was evil and hurt your poor boyfriend but he is ok and just found out that his evil stabber is behind bars" said Kaito.
For some reason he was talking lie Aoko and he was getting a little nervous.
"You were stabbed" said Shinichi shocked.
He just smiled as he shrugged showing her the scar.
"Oh that is cold" he said.
She was currently touching his scar with her hands and looked very guilty as she touched and he could already see what was coming next.
"Kaito I am..." said Shinichi.
He put his hand on her mouth.
"Don't even think about apologizing this is in no way your fault and you are the only one that is sane that would ever think that. So no more apologizing for other peoples actions that you had nothing to do with because you are not to blame for this or for anything you think you are to blame" said Kaito.
She just nodded.
"No how can I help you? Because I need to help you" said Kaito.
"Get me out of here because I can presume that you already..." said Shinichi.
He nodded before she could finish her sentence.
"I have got the both of us disguises and we can go for lunch because we do have a lot to talk about if you want to talk that is about...what happened and certain people. If you want that" said Kaito.
He could see her hesitating and that she did not even notice that he had put her in a pink dress that she would hate and would never wear.
"Come on I will buy you a cup of coffee and Hattori is Edoka you can get in contact with your people with him" said Kaito.
Shinichi nodded and walked ahead of him.
"Shinichi?" he said.
She stopped and looked at him.
"You are still my girlfriend, right?" said Kaito.
She just looked to her feet, and he could see that she was holding back her tears.
"I do not blame you for anything that happened at all. And I still do love you and I can see that you still feel the same. But Kaito things are more complicated than you think far more and well it is...I need time and..." said Shinichi.
He just nodded, but he could see what she was trying to say to him.
'It is me, not you' is what she was thinking and what she was going to say but could not because she was struggling with it. She was just struggling to be with him and look him in the eye because she was just struggling and he wanted to help her she needed help. But he did not know what kind of help she needed. But all he knew right now he could help her right now.
And he was going to do his best to convince her and show her that they still could be together because he was not going to give up on her. His Shin-Chan was still there and he was going to make her see that.
