Kaoru sat alone in her room, thinking as she listened to her Evanescence CD. Her favorite song, Tourniquet, was on and that made her think a lot clearer. She thought about calling the police, but how would she give them proof on her story?

"Mr. Ishida, we have the first clone ready," Ikachi said. "Should we send him to the Himura residents?" "Yes," Mr. Ishida said. "And what did you name this fool?" "Anzai," Ikachi answered. "Th-that was my brother's name. The one..." "Yes, I remember," Mr. Ishida coldly said.

The only reason Ikachi worked for Mr. Ishida was because Mr. Ishida had blackmailed him into doing so. Ikachi was a brilliant man who knew how to work the newest technical things. When Mr. Ishida had asked Ikachi to work for him years ago, but Ikachi had turned him down. Mr. Ishida had threatened Ikachi in many ways to get him to work for him, but Ikachi continued to run them down.

Finally, one day, Mr. Ishida threatened Ikachi's brother's (Anzai)'s life. At first, Ikachi thought Mr. Ishida was fooling around, but he wasn't. The following week, Mr. Ishida had hired some men to kill Anzai, and in five hours, he was found dead. Ikachi had not other choice but to work for Mr. Ishida; only the lord would know what Mr. Ishida would think of next.

Rachel returned from the hospital on the following day. This time, Kaoru was much nicer to Rachel; she even had started a conversation between the two of them.

"Are you just being nice because I was in a car crash?" Rachel asked Kaoru. "You know this one wasn't my first. In one, I had lost my two front teeth." "No you haven't," Kaoru said. "They're in your mouth." Rachel's right index finer went to her two front teeth. "Oh, these?" Rachel said. "Don't tell anyone, but these are fake." 'One of the loveliest women in the world has fake front teeth?' Kaoru asked in her head. 'The world must be turning over.'

Rachel was giving Kaoru voice lessons when the doorbell had rung. Kaoru answered it. Either Kenshin or "Shinta" was standing at the door. "Oh, hello, Kenshin," Rachel said. "Did you walk here?" Whichever one had come, that one had entered the house. "Shinta?" Kaoru asked. "Hello, Kaoru," the guest answered; it was Shinta. He put one hand on Kaoru's shoulder. Kaoru moved back. "Where were you?" she asked a bit coldly. "Visiting Kenshin," Shinta answered. Kaoru knew that was a lie.

"If you don't mind," Rachel broke in. "I'd like to go to room and get some rest."

"You do that," Kaoru kindly said. "Don't wake up until you feel brand new."

"Thank you," Rachel said as she went up the stairs. "Perhaps I should do so."

When Kaoru was positive that Rachel had gone up to her room and shut the door, she slapped Shinta across the face. "You liar!" she shouted. "You were not visiting Kenshin, and I know that as a fact! You tried to kill him, along with Rachel and Jeremy!"

Shinta was probably playing stupid. "I have no idea what you're talking about, Kaoru," he calmly said. "Don't be a baka!" she yelled. "You have an exact idea on what I'm talking about!" Shinta just stared. "Leave my house at once," she said, but Shinta didn't move. "Fine," she said. "Stand there. Stand there, and don't you move until I tell you to."

Kaoru went up to her room and shut the door. She picked up her phone and dialed the number of the police. A man was on the other line. "Tokyo Police, how may I help you?" he asked. "There is an intruder in my house and he refuses to leave," Kaoru said. "And a few days ago, he had attempted to kill my husband along with two of his friends." "Was he reported before?" the man on the line asked. "I believe not," Kaoru answered. "Thank you for calling," the man said. "And your address is?" "5833 Buttonwood Drive," Kaoru answered. "Okay," the man said. "The police will be at your home shortly."
