Akira tried one more time to persuade Rui to end this situation. They could tell Soujirou & Doumyouji about Tsukushi's condition. "Rui, you've heard what Makino's boyfriend told us. We are involved too far. Do you realize what you've facing here? Rui did not answer. "Damn, just give me a clue what your next plan of action?" Akira gave up.
Before Rui could open his mouth, the sliding door opened. Junpei came into the room and approached them. "Is she alright?" asked Rui.
"Well, she is weak because she had no food for the last two days. The bruises will recover around two weeks from now, but I'm still waiting for the head scan result within an hour," Junpei explained succinctly.
Rui clenched his fist; his temper flared up once more. "Who's behind all this?" he puzzled. Akira saw Rui's reaction and assumed that Rui would continue to pursue this matter regardless of his opinions.
"Can I see her?" Rui asked.
Junpei nodded and said, "She will wake up tomorrow at the earliest, but I can not give you the exact time. I've already given her an intravenous tube." Junpei asked his nurse to accompany Rui and Akira to Tsukushi's room.
She looked so pale, Rui felt strange emotions in his chest. Was he hurt to see her like this? His mind kept asking the same question. Before the nurse left, Rui asked, "Can I stay with her here tonight?"
"Only one of you can, but there is no spare bed, so you have to sleep on that couch over there." She pointed to the old couch near the exit door.
Rui looked at Akira who said, "No problem with me, I will find a motel nearby and come back tomorrow." Then he left.
Rui pulled a chair to sit beside Tsukushi's bed. He gazed at her bruised face and put his hand on top on Tsukushi's left hand slowly. 'Don't worry, I will be here when you wake up."

Tsukasa and Soujirou arrived at Tsukushi's Shinjuku house. Tsukasa had rented the house for Tsukushi when she insisted on investigating Susumu's murder alone.
They rushed into the house and found spilt blood on the floor. Tsukasa became very worried, so Soujirou and he decided to follow the blood trail. They saw a freshly dug pile of dirt at the end of the trail Tsukasa immediately got down on his knees to dig the dirt with his bare hands.
Soujirou went to the little garage and found a spade. He ran to Tsukasa and stopped him from damaging his hand any further. Soujirou started digging until he hit something. He became gentler in his digging then.
Tsukasa bent down to look more clearly and he thought he saw something like a black fabric, and without any permission, he grabbed the spade from Soujirou's hand and started digging faster. "Be careful, Tsukasa, you don't want ruin it, right?" Soujirou reminded him.
They saw something wrapped in a black blanket lying in the dirt. Tsukasa trembled; he just stood there and did not move at all. Soujirou noted Tsukasa's reaction and he took the initiative to open the blanket. He pulled off the blanket slowly. Tsukasa closed his eyes until he heard Soujirou said, "Tsukasa, open your eyes. Don't worry it's not her."
Tsukasa opened his eyes and yelled, "Manato?? Who's killed him?? How can I find Tsuksuhi now?"
Soujirou added, "Poor Takki. Tsukasa I don't know what we should do either. But we could ask Mimasaka & Hanazawa, right? They probably know what's going on here. Let's go to their house." Tsukasa followed Soujioru to the house next door.
Nobody was in. Tsukasa got out his mobile and he told Soujirou, "I will try to find out the name of the person who owns this house from my family agent. What do you think, Soujirou?"
"That's an excellent idea. Hurry, call her."
Tsukasa dialled the number and talked to her. He asked Soujioru to find a pen so he could jot down the number which she had told him. "Jioru, I've got Mimasaka's mobile number." Soujirou gave him a thumb up.
***Apologise, this one is a short one. I promised I will send you If I have a chance during my trip to KL***
