Tampered Mind – Ichan's Findings

Disclaimer: Don't own Angelic Layer and never will, so don't sue me!

For those of you wondering what happened to Misaki, why did she fall into a coma in the first place, and what happened when Ichan found out; this is for you. No, I did not forget about what happened with the Precision Shield. This is a bit of an insider's look at what happened:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ichirou examined the Precision Shield taken from Misaki's visor. He ran a final computer simulation, then stood up satisfied by his findings.

"Very clever. Someone stuck a simple piece of tiny metal over the safety circuit. That way the waves of the lenses would reach the brain in extreme form. Making it impossible for anyone to focus properly. Also making it just as likely to seriously injure or even kill someone. The fingerprints on it also tell me who's been handling it. Other than Misaki and Miss Yui (personnel handling the Precision Shields at the tournament) there is..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Fuyuko Asari!" She stopped dead in her tracks and faced the several Angelic Layer officials walking towards her. "Miss Fuyuko Asari! Your Angelic Layer card please."

Her eyes flashed dangerously, "What!?"

Ichirou walked up to her, "Sabotaging another player's equipment is a violation of the rules. Such a violation that you pulled off should also be punished by law, but stripping you of ever player Angelic Layer again in any tournament should suffice."

Fuyuko's eyes were firry as she took out her card and handed it to them.

"I hope you know that the stunt you pulled could have cost a young lady her life. You could bet, had that been the case...the prince of the Layer, Oujirou Mihara, would have personally taken you out himself. And let me tell you, even being that you're a girl and he's a gentlemen of a young man, I doubt he would have cared one way or the other. You are very, very lucky that Miss Misaki Suzuhara was not seriously injured."

Fuyuko decided she didn't want to hear anymore. She walked silently away in rage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oujirou watched his brother stomp furiously into the room.

"What's wrong?"

"I just found the girl responsible for putting your girlfriend in the hospital."

Oujirou blushed a light red. He still wasn't completely used to the idea of knowing Misaki as his "girlfriend." After all, she had only accepted to be called that, just that morning. Within a few moments, however, the key words "found girl responsible...girlfriend in...hospital" found their way to his brain.

"Wait! You found the person responsible for hurting, Misaki? How?"

"Modern technology, my dear brother, the beauty of science."

"Who is it!? For the first time in my life I actually feel like strangling someone!"

"No, Oujirou," Ichirou said grabbing Oujirou's collar as he headed for his jacket.

"It's already taken care of. The girl had her card taken away from her, and she won't be able to register for any more tournaments. Come to think of it, that's the firs time I've even had to do that. Besides the fact, if she does anything else, she'll be arrested."

After a few moments Oujirou settled down, and for once Ichirou didn't make any further comments. Before long, Oujirou found himself daydreaming of Misaki...again.
