Chapter Twelve
the cherri ookami-LOL! I know, REEEEEEALLY need to stop placing anime refferences into a fanfiction that's on a completely different subject, fact is.....I'm an anime freak and often compare things to anime. BTW You've actually seen the Japanese Case Closed aka. Detective Conan? If you did....LUCKY! I'm stuck with the English Dub...and Yusuke...hmmm if you really thought about it...Holly has Yusuke's personality when she's pissed you know? I think when I did that chapter I had just gotten the "Born Anew" DVD which was the last of the Sensui Saga and to quote from it..."Well you can tell King Daddy I'm up for adoption." I can get enough of Koenma's antics in that one!
Amy Shadows-Buwahahahaha! An orginal quote from myself. LOL Sadly you'll have to be patient with the chappies..... You think this story is great? COOL! Truly I'm surprised that people like it...Opal Koboi thing screwed me up but as I said...Opal isn't going down that quickly....she'll come back in later chapters once she figures out what's been hidden from her.
technogril-I left you in suspense? gapes Wooooooow....I didn't know it was that much of a plot? What are you in for though? Artemis and Holly getting together or the murder mystery case? Hmm..I think I know the answer to my very own question.
Keiko ) -Raven isn't evil in Switched...I was just explaining on what she was in AFAMAD.....And this time I won't kill Arty off, I promise. Thank you for reading koi!
sabouki-Truly Butler doesn't need to be told....it'd make him feel VEEEEEEERY uneven and freaked out and not to mention the whole thing about Artemis being in Haven...yeah I think you get what I mean...it's just something Artemis' dear friend doesn't need to know. And you read AFAMAD? COOL! You rock then! LOL!
Yuffie Paine ) -Yeah I have school and it delays me..and here's your update
Random and Insane person-Alot of people like AH...

Four people stood near the dead Sanza.
A silver eyed boy with dark brown hair, blue streaks clashing with it leaned against the wall, he looked pissed, obviousily over the loss of his friend.
A girl with bleached blonde hair stood there glaring at Raven....just for reasons unknown...
Then another teenaged girl stood there.....tears in her dark red eyes....her hair was in braids...black hair....and looked quite pale...
Then there was Raven.
"Alright..now....I'd like everyone to know somebody in this room has murderered Sanza Tishimoto, estimated time be 5:00 PM today...only three hours....not too much of a time spand. Everybody introduce theirself at once, and tell where you were at the crime scene," said Artemis.
"Ryoma Short, me during the crime scene...I was playing videogames on Raven's gameconsole," said the boy with the dark brown hair...
"I'm Sheeta, I was in kitchen during the crime scene," replied the girl with blonde hair...she looked quite peeved and somehow Holly believed this was the killer.
"My name is Mei, I was in hall when Sanza had died....I-I was the one who found her," replied the whimpering girl..
"Alright then, It's obvious that Sanza was posioned with nail polish......for what reasons? Unknown. That is until we figure out which one of you did it...," said Artemis.
Ryoma sighed.
"Okay Holly, are you okay...you're sounding like Sherlock Holmes...and it's not funny," he snapped.
Holly had to try not to fall to the floor laughing....it was so true!
Artemis looked annoyed.
"Shut it Ryoma or you'll be on my first suspect list!" he snapped.
'Whoa.....is that really me when I'm peeved?' thought Holly.
Artemis smirked, knowing what Holly must be thinking.
"Now, obviousily it had to be a female unless my dear cousin paints his nails," said Artemis, taking out the bottle on red nail polish.
Once again Holly had to keep from laughing, her cousin gay? It'd never happen in a million years.
Ryou glared at Artemis....or who he thought was his cousin Holly Short.
"So that leaves Mei, Sheeta, and Raven," pointed out Holly.
Sheeta rolled her eyes.
"Honestly, can we get this over with, Sanza could've commited suicide, knowing her....she always depressed, always worrying," she said.
"If you don't mind I'd like to see your hands," said Artemis.
"Why so?" snapped Sheeta.
"You'll see why in the end," replied Artemis.
Sheeta showed her hands. They were painted black and silver.
"And you do this by yourself?" asked Holly.
"No, I got them done the other day ago by Reenie," replied Sheeta.
"And you Raven," said Artemis.
Raven had no nail-polish at all, she was completely innocent.
"Mei," said Holly.
Mei showed her hands...they were clear..but her nails look chipped up.
"Hmmm,....I don't think it's Mei either," said Artemis.
"Then who the heck is it," asked Ryoma.
"I'm not sure....," replied Artemis.
Holly stumbled over to him.
"Holly, be logical, unless it was a suicide attempt then it had to be someone in this room," she said.
Artemis glared at her.
"It's someone in this room, I just don't know who yet," replied Artemis.
"Feh, wonderful," muttered Holly. -
Everyone was eating dinner at Raven's....they weren't leaving until they figured out something, but everyone needed to eat...
"Make sure there's no posion in that food Mei," said Sheeta coldly.
Mei's eyes went wide.
"Wha-?" she asked.
Sheeta grinned evilly.
"Who knows who the next victim is....and if a bloody thirsty killer in this room, then they want to kill all of us," she said.
"Are you hinting something?" hissed Raven, standing up in fury.
"Not that Raven knows what's went on," pointed Sheeta.
"Hey this is not the time or place for an argument," snapped Ryoma.
"I'm just pointing out the facts," said Sheeta.
Holly sighed a got up from the table and Artemis followed...they were in Raven's bedroom, far away from the kitchen.
"You've got yourself some interesting friends," said Artemis.
"I can't believe any of them would really be the killer of Sanza," said Holly.
"It must be hard for you," commented Artemis staring down at the floor.
"No, I haven't kept in contact with anyone of them, all of them have changed. Raven and Sheeta used to be good friends, Mei and Sanza were a dinamic duo....insepperable...and Ryoma and I would tag along and stuff. All of us never seemed to argue either, it was like we all had pros and cons about ourself but we didn't care," replied Holly.
"Is this a pity party from Holly Short? I thought I'd never see the day," teased Artemis.
"I'm just telling the truth...I had shut myself out from everyone, likw you have. You shut yourself out from the real world and depend on other people that work for you," snapped Holly.
Artemis looked taken aback.
"I shut myself out?" he asked.
"Yes, especially from people who care about you. You're a heartless bastard sometimes," said Holly.
"How about we solve this case before you go insulting me," said Artemis crossly.
Holly rolled her eyes.
"Whatever," she sighed, walking back into the kitchen.
((A/N: And odd chapter I must admit. Sorry it took so long, I had writers block!!! . I've finally came up with an ending for this fanfiction. YAY! I think you'll find it to be a fairy tale ending....a little bit of a spoiler for you people. BTW next chapter you'll figure out who the killer is.....you guys have any idea who it is? Tell me who you think it is! Hehehe...I'm listening to Maaya Sakamoto? Anyone heard of her? I'm listening to her and Yoko Kanno together in one song called ,"Trust Me." Anyone who likes Moulann Chang would absolutely love Maaya. LOL! Well I think I'll listen to Hikaru Utada for awhile and then do Chapter Thirteen...))
