I'm An Undercover Spy

(Chapter 5)

By Cleopatra

He eyed the group.

Samisuto smiled and said, "Can I speak to Konomochi?"

The man let them in. "Take a seat, I'll tell my master to see you," the man said coldly. Then he left them and went upstairs. So the 3 of them sat down.

"Your friend's servant is creepy," Ryoko commented after he left.

Samisuto nodded and said "True, but Konomochi is a nice guy."

'Yeah, nice enough to kill people and leave the charge to you," Ryoko said to herself.

"Do you come here everyday?" Tenchi asked.

"Well, most of the time," the boy replied.

Then a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes came to view. He looked at Samisuto and said,"Hey, welcome! Who do you have here? Friends? I'd like to meet them!"

"Yes, they're my friends. This is Tenchi and this is Ryoko. He is Konomochi, my best friend." Samisuto said pointing at the people when he said their names.

"Oh, pleasure to meet you all," Konomochi said with a nod.

"Yes, same here," Ryoko replied.

"Uh, yeah, why don't you tell us about yourself," Tenchi said.

"Well, as you should know, I'm Konomochi, the master of the house."

"You live alone?" Ryoko questioned.

"Well, not exactly, my servants are here..."

"You have a job or are you still a student?"

"I'm a student, but I skipped grades, so I have a job now."

"Alright, what do you do?"

"I'm a scientist."

"Hey, Ryoko. Stop asking Konomochi so many questions. You act like an officer." Samisuto told her.

"Hehe, alright, sorry," Ryoko apologized.

"Oh, no problem. It's really nothing. Would any of you like a drink or something? Snacks?" the master of the house asked. They all shook their heads. "Okay, then. Then why don't I show you guys around?"

"Alright!" Ryoko yelled jumping up from the sofa.

"Huh?" Both Samisuto and Konomochi asked dumbfounded.

"Oh, nothing, she's always like that," Tenchi said.

'This is my chance of getting some more clues!' Ryoko thought.

After Konomochi showed them around the house, Ryoko found no clues to the murder.

'Hmm..I HAVE to find a way to get more info about him! Err!' Ryoko thought madly.

Konomochi looked at Ryoko puzzled and asked,"Is something the matter?"

"Huh? Ah, nothing. Oh! Why don't you tell me what you like! Like what you like to do, hehe." Ryoko suggested.

"Well, nothing much, I guess. I like company," Konomochi replied happily.

'No way! Samisuto just said that he DOESN'T like company...strange...he can't be able to find out my job. Hope not...' She said to herself.

"Do you like Konomochi or something?!" Samisuto teased.

"Uh..."-turns red-"No..."

"Yeah, right!" he laughed.

"Hmm...I think we should go now, we don't want to bother you too much, Konomochi," Tenchi said.

"Not really," He replied.

"Well, anyway, it's late, Ryoko, let's go," Tenchi said pulling her.

"Huh? Uh, okay, bye guys!"

"Bye." Then they left.

"Konomochi, I have to go too, I'll come back tomorrow," Samisuto told him.

Konomochi nodded and said,"Sure, anytime, Sam, anytime." Then he left.

The guard went over to Konomochi and said,"Do you wish to not see them tomorrow?"

"No, I'd love to see them," he smiled.

-Masaki Household-

Tenchi and Ryoko arrived home when Sasami called for dinner.

"Just in time!" Ryoko said flying to the table. Everyone was settled now.

"Guess what?! Kiyone and I got promoted to HQ!" Mihoshi said happily.

"Oh, really? That's great!" Sasami cheered.

Kiyone nodded and said,"We could have arrived eariler home, but we had space traffic."

Ryoko burst into laughter,"Really? How sad!"

"Oh, well, at least we got promoted." Mihoshi reminded her.

"That's really nice, Kiyone and Mihoshi. Wasn't that your dream?" Tenchi asked.

"Yes, I've waited so long, finally our luck brought us this victory."

Everyone ate and talk except for Ayeka.

"Ha, what's up with the princess?" Ryoko asked Sasami.

Before Sasami could answer, Ayeka spoke,"I'm fine, thank you."

"Is that meant to be sarcastic?"

"Yes and no."

-After dinner- (Ryoko's room)

Ryoko lay on her bed and started to think. 'Well...it can be true. I mean he can be highly intelligent.' Her neckless glowed red again.

"Ryoko, did you find any clues yet?" Kijimoto asked quietly.

Ryoko sighed and said,"No need to whisper, no one's near"-sighs-"I think Konomchi is pretty smart. I have to check his secret places soon."

"Who's Konomochi? Samisuto's friend?" Kijimoto questioned.

"Yes."

"Well, you have to maybe sneak into the house tonight."

"Hmm...That might just do..."
