A Bloody Roar Mystery to Remember.

Disclaimer: If you honestly believe that I own Bloody Roar, then you should be shot.

Author's note: I'm just going to try to keep this as serious as possible. As strange as it is, the game Clue inspired me to write this. I hope you can understand this as I go on. You'll get it sooner or later. And just to let you know, I'm writing at night, once again. So if this makes no sense to you, it probably doesn't to me. ^_^

A young brown haired girl ran into her sister's arms. The woman held the girl and whispered gently.

Woman: Shhhhh. Uriko, It'll be fine, it's all right.

The woman gently rocked Uriko back and forth. Uriko sniffled a bit, remembering the terrible images of her Mother's death.

Uriko: A-Alice? W-why would any-anyone wanna *sniff* h-hurt M-M-M-Mother?!

Uriko sobbed in Alice's arms. Alice looked up, and frowned at a young brown haired boy with the familiar X shaped scar across his nose. He had a young boy by his side, one whom they had rescued. He had brown hair as well, and stood behind the older man.

Alice: Y-Yugo. Who would do this to her? What do you think. happened?

Yugo: I can't tell what's going on here Alice. I. I just don't get it. Your mother was the nicest woman I've met. I just don't understand.

Yugo went to Alice and embraced the two girls. The younger boy just stood where he was before.

Yugo: I don't get it though.

The memory of Mitsuko's dead body being carried out on a stretcher flashed in his mind. He opened his eyes to stop the memory's that flooded into his mind. He released the girls. Their eyes were red and puffy. Alice tried to suppress a laugh, but was unable. Uriko rubbed her sore eyes.

Alice: I think you should go to bed, Uriko. Kenji, you can sleep in the guestroom. Go on you two. Go to bed.

Uriko rubbed her sore eyes, sniffed a little and mumbled a soft good night. She walked up stairs and disappeared into the darkness in the up stairs hallway. Kenji went towards the guestroom on the ground floor. He disappeared into the room, and heard Yugo and Alice talking.

Yugo: Do you think... Tylon had anything to do with this?

Alice: It's. Possible. I never would have guessed that they were still after us though.

Yugo: We are zoanthropes, Alice. They only want to use us for cruel experiments. Uriko was caught in it. So was Kenji. Who knows what they did to him? Kenji doesn't even remember his own name, let alone his home or parents.

Alice: I know. But, but still. We have no clues.

Yugo: Er. Well, let's just go back to. Her death. Tell me when this is too much for you, Alice.

Alice: Okay! Um. Let me think back. It was only a few days ago.

Yugo: Okay, it was what time when you got home?

Alice: Around noon. I was on a lunch break.

Yugo: Okay, what time did Uriko get home?

Alice: Uh. I-I have no idea.

Yugo: We'll ask her in the morning.

Alice: Okay, this is what I remember. I arrived home, and noticed the door was left unlocked. I thought Uriko left it unlocked, and took no notice of it at first. I walked in and called for Mother, since she's usually home when I get off for lunch. But she didn't answer back. When I called out for Mother again, Uriko came running to me, crying harder than I've ever seen her crying. She hid behind me, and pointed to the family room. She told me exactly this, "Alice! It's Mother! She's. She's.. Alice! She's gone!" I thought Uriko meant that Mother left for a walk or something and Uriko was worried, but I couldn't figure out why she was pointing to the family room. I walked in there, and there was Mother, on, on, on, on the floor!

Alice couldn't go on. She sat in the kitchen chair and sobbed. Yugo put a protective arm around her. Alice sniffed a bit, and rubbed her eyes.

Yugo: You can stop now, if you want. I don't mind. We can just go to bed and continue this in the morning.

Alice: I-I'm *sniff* fine. *sniff sniff* Okay, Mother was on the floor. I ran up to her, and tested for blood pressure, but there was none. I did everything I knew, but I knew I couldn't do anything. I knew it was too late. *sniff*

Yugo: Why didn't Uriko call the police then?

Alice: I think she panicked. She told me she ran down to your house, but neither of you were home.

Yugo: That's right. I was at practice and Kenji. I don't know what that boy was doing. Probably studying at the library. He has a big test coming up and has been going to the library lately.

Alice: Hope he does okay.

Yugo: Don't worry, he's a smart boy.

Alice while smiling: He's a whole lot smarter than you!

Alice gently laughed a bit. Yugo looked offended at first, then realized it was Alice's way of calming herself down.

Yugo: Don't worry, Alice. I promise, everything will be all right. We'll catch the culprit and send them to jail!

Alice: Oh, Yugo. I just. I just can't take this any more.

Yugo: I know. But it'll all be over soon.

In the protection of the dark, Kenji overheard the whole conversation. Goosebumps ran up and down his spine. He knew what was going on at least.

Kenji thinking: So, a murder, huh Yugo? You lied to me. You said Ms. Nonomura had a heart attack, but I knew that wasn't true. I think I'll do a little investigating of my own. I wonder if I should tell Uriko? No, this will only upset her, I'll let her stay clueless, it's for the best.

Alice: Yugo! I. I just can't stay in this house any more! Get Kenji out of bed! I'll get Uriko! Uriko and I will stay at your place tonight! I. I just can't stay here. Is it okay if we stay, Yugo?

Yugo: Of course, Alice. Stay as long as you two would like. I'll go wake him up.

Kenji leapt back into bed, and turned on his side. Yugo gently opened the door, and shook Kenji a bit.

Yugo: Kenji? Kenji? You awake?

Kenji rubbed his eyes, and turned to Yugo. He blinked a few times and sat up in the bed. He turned to Yugo, and gave him his clueless look.

Yugo: Kenji, you know this is hard on Alice and Uriko, and Alice can't take this any more. She decided that her and Uriko will live in our house for a while, okay? You got that?

Kenji nodded his head.

Yugo: Good! Try to cheer them up, okay?

Kenji nodded his head again.

Yugo: C'mon, get outta bed and wait for the girls to finish packing, okay?

Kenji nodded once again. The two boys went to sit in the kitchen. They could hear the two girls' footsteps walking across the second story floor.

~*~*~*~*~*~* To Uriko and Alice *~*~*~*~*~*~

Alice: Uriko? You okay?

Uriko: Uh huh! I-I'm fine. Really.

Alice: Uriko, you almost done?

Uriko: Yup! I have all my clothes and stuff like that!

Alice: Okay, let's go to the boys now. They're probably waiting.

Uriko: Okay!

The two girls climbed down the stairs, with piles of luggage in their arms.

Yugo and Kenji were flabbergasted at the amount of luggage they had.

The girls: A girl has a lot of needs, you know?

The boys: .

Yugo: So, how are we going to take all this luggage in the middle of the night? Won't police get suspicious of a group of teenagers carrying luggage around?

Alice: Your house is only down the street..

Yugo thinking: Sheesh, I'm only trying to humor you!

The teenagers carried the luggage down the street, and burst into the Ohgami House.

Yugo: Uriko, you can sleep in the room upstairs and to the left.

Uriko: Thanks Yugo! You're the best!

Yugo: 'Night Uriko. You too Kenji, get to bed already.

Kenji sighed and walked up the stairs to his room. Alice and Yugo stared at one another.

Alice: Take no offense, Yugo, but Kenji is acting strange, is anything wrong with him?

Yugo: He's probably stressing out over that test. Or about this whole incident.

Alice: Uriko's taking it hard too. I was trying to cheer her up so I told her I'd take her anywhere she wants and buy her a few gifts. At least she took her mind off of it.

Yugo: So, we should run through the list of suspects.

Alice: Um. Busuzima. He's just creepy and deserves to rot in hell for what he did to Uriko! And Kenji! Damned pervert!

Alice pulled out a notebook and scribbled Busuzima's name down.

Yugo: Might as well put everybody down.

Alice: Yeah, even us?

Yugo: Naw, we know that we would never hurt you or your family. Don't put Uriko or Kenji either. They're just too innocent.

Alice: Okay! We'll send out letters telling everybody to come here for our own investigating! I doubt the police can do anything, so I figure that we should take this into our own hands.

Yugo: Okay, I'll find envelopes and you write?

Alice: Okay!

~* The letter looked like this *~

Dear (whoever the receiver is), I am pretty sure that you are aware of my Mother, Mitsuko Nonomura's death. My dearest apologies, I do not mean to disturb anything, but I'm asking you to please come to Yugo Ohgami's house. Everybody is expected to come. I expect you'll be there. The funeral will take place after our meeting. Thank you for your time,
Alice Nonomura

Alice admired her work, seeing if it needed editing.

Alice: Yugo? Did you find the envelopes?

Yugo: Yeah, right here.

Yugo held up a box of envelopes.

Alice wrote up the letters and Yugo put them in the envelopes and sealed them.

Yugo: I hope Kenji and Uriko don't get involved with this. I don't want to give them any trouble.

Alice: I know. If they do try to help, we'd better stop them. The criminal might hurt or even kill them if they get to close to solving the mystery.

Yugo: Yup, I'll keep Kenji busy by getting him books to study. Uriko can. Er. What will she do?

Alice: I can keep her busy. I'll get her some money and she can go on her latest shopping spree.

Yugo: She's an interesting one, isn't she?

Alice: She sure is.

~*~*~*~*~*~* Up stairs with Kenji *~*~*~*~*~*~

Kenji leaned to one side. He listened as best as he could, and heard much of the conversation.

Kenji thinking: So, trying to keep me busy with books, Yugo? I don't think so. I will investigate this too. You cannot keep me away from this.

Kenji gently stood up. He snuck back into his room, and lay on the soft bed. He stared at the ceiling, and pondered about this information.

Kenji: It could be anyone, but who would want to murder Ms. Nonomura? I don't get it. I'm just as clueless as everybody else. I'm going to have to eavesdrop on the "meeting" with everybody. I wonder what I will get out of it? And, if I do get to close to solving this crime, will I get caught? Will I be murdered? Hmph. Who said I was going to get caught?

Kenji smirked, knowing he wasn't going to die at his early age. He leaned on his side when a thought hit him.

Kenji thinking: What if. By some bizarre and slim chance, Uriko heard and wants to find the murderer? She'll get herself killed! I'll make sure that I'm the only one in danger. I won't let Yugo, Alice, or Uriko get hurt.

Kenji thought about this, over and over again. He lay in his bed wondering when all his thinking put him to bed.

~*~*~*~*~*~* In Uriko's room *~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile.

Uriko: ZzZzZzZzZzZzZz.

So, how did you like that? I tried though. ^^; I had a lot of trouble at first, but this story came to me because of the game Clue. Thanks Katori! It's a good thing we played Clue at your house! I've always wanted to write a mystery and I'm pretty new at this. So, if you don't like this, I'm sorry. Anyway, I hope to see you in the next chapter! Until then, bye!
