Disclaimer: Me no own Tantei Gakuen Q! Sorry folks!

-----------------------------------

Recap: Megumi lifted Ryu and let him lean onto her. They wobbled to a portrait hanging on the wall. That must be master Amakusa's family. I wonder where they are now?

"Help me lift this picture off the wall." Ryu said as they both lugged the huge picture off the wall and onto the floor.

-------------------------------

"Wow! I thought only these things appears in the movies!" the pink haired girl exclaimed. Looking at the humongous safe at the other side.

"Minami-san, would you mind turning around?" Ryu asked megumi, a series of clicks came from the safe.

"Okay. You can turn back now." Megumi turned back around. Her a eyes widened "Wow! How did you get so much money!"

Ryu rolled his eyes, " hey, I don't work for free! I charge for my detective services." Megumi started counting the piles of money.

" Um… Minami-san, please help?" She turned around looking at the pale-faced boy. " Master Amakusa!" She caught the boy before he fell on to the floor, but he was heavier than her causing her to fall down as well.

" Master Amakusa!" Megumi screamed as she shook the blue-haired boy. "Oh my God! Master Amakusa! Your so pale!" Megumi noticed his left arm shaking; she reached towards it and pulled away his sleeve.

"Oh my God!" She gasped looking at the infected arm, which was turning purplish. "Help… me get something… look…in the…safe…"

"The safe?" megumi asked again, as she leaned Ryu onto the wall. " Find a black velvet… box inside…"

"Umm… Ahhh…" Megumi reached deep inside the safe. "Ah found it!" Megumi exclaimed, fingertips brushing the velvet.

"Here!" Megumi handed the box, which was the size of a big dictionary. "What's inside?" Megumi kneeled beside Ryu.

"Never you mind! Let's get out of here! Quick! I hear people coming!" Ryu pulled megumi's hand as she helped him to stand up.

"CHECK THE ROOMS FOR MASTER AMAKUSA! TELL HIM THAT HIS GRANDFATHER WANTS TO SEE HIM NOW!" Their heads snapped to the door, where they heard the command coming from.

"Go! The cabinet! GO!" Ryu commanded as they rushed there and were both squashed into the tiny space.

"What now?" Megumi whispered under her breath. Looking a where Ryu was leaning on to her, he kept quiet not knowing what to do.

"Thump." Ryu sat himself on a small box. "Minami please help me grab some clothes, be quick!" He heard knocking at the door of his room.

"Yes, s-sir!" megumi sputtered a bit stunned at the sudden harshness in his voice. She grabbed two big white blankets and threw one on Ryu. "Hold this for me!"

Megumi grabbed the other blanket and grabbed a whole lot of Ryu's clothes and such, while Ryu sat on the box pondering something.

.: Flashback:.

"Ryu! Come here! I want to show you something!" A boy, with long purple locks and light blue eyes motioned to a smaller kid.

"Yes, nii-chan?" A smaller boy at the age of 5years wobbled towards the older Amakusa.

"Look! Look here!" The elder Amakusa pointed to a small hole that was dug out. "Wow! Sakuke nii-chan! Did you dig that yourself?" The little boy's gray-brown eyes shone brightly.

"Yup! Ryu I started digging this tunnel when I was your age!" the 7years old Sakuke smiles at his younger brother.

Sakuke's high ponytail shone in the sunlight, which came through the tinted windows. "Wow! Brother's hair is so pretty!" little Ryu said tugging at the ends of Sakuke's long hair.

"Ryu!" the 7years old boy's voice became stern. " I started digging this is for you! If grandpa ever hurts you, you can escape from here! So you understand?"

A mass of purple hair bobbed up and down. Little Sakuke laughed, his little brother's face was scrunched up in concentration.

"Little brother?" Sakuke waved a little hand in front of his brother's face. "Huh?" the 5 year old turned and looked into his brother's face.

"Sakuke nii-chan… why would grandpa hurt us?" the little curious boy asked his brother. A look of pain crossed Sakuke's face. " I think that grandpa wants us to stay here so that I can be the heir to PLUTO or something." Sakuke said as he pulled the collar of his loose t-shirt.

" Wow! That is so cool brother! A tattoo!" little Ryu was really amused and started prodding the wound.

"Ow! Ryu this is serious!" Sakuke kneeled down on the floor so his face would be leveled to Ryu's. He grabbed Ryu's shoulders. "Ryu! Remember avoid PLUTO no matter what the cause!"

"Y-yes brother…" Ryu was on the verge of tears.

"Ryu remember what I said." his brother hugged little Ryu. "Here take this! I made it for you." Sakuke hung and small metal plate around Ryu's neck. "Thanks nii-chan!" Joy reflected in Ryu's round eyes.

.: End flashback:

"Huff… huff… I remembered…" Ryu said grabbing his head. "Master Amakusa?" Megumi questioned eyes adjusting to the darkness.

"Now what? How can we leave? Those men are outside!" Megumi started breathing heavily thinking what they will do to her is she was caught sneaking Ryu out.

"Minami! Calm down! I know a way out of here!" he said gripping her shoulders.

"Hey! I think I hear voices in side the cabinet!" some muffled female cries came from the outside of the cabinet.

"Do you think it's my Ryu?" another female voice came from out side. "Hey did you see that megumi wretch? Did you know the last time I saw her, she was heading to my dear Ryu's room!"

"Hey his not yours! Get real! His mine!" the first voice came through the small opening of the cabinet.

"What the hell!" Ryu's voice was shaking in anger. Megumi was trying her best to stop Ryu from bursting out of the cabinet.

Soon a full out catfight was raging outside, over the property of Ryu… Those senseless maids. What's so nice about Master Amakusa? Megumi was pondering as she gazed over Ryu's pale features.

"WHATS THE RACKET IN HERE!" a booming voice interrupted the catfight. "Sir!" the two maids' voices were heard.

"Come on Minami! Let's get out of here." Ryu said as he started tapping the walls. "How?" Megumi asked looking over his shoulder.

"There it is!" Ryu exclaimed weakly pulling a small leaver from the top corner of the cabinet. Verr…wirlll… a trap door appeared making a lot of noise.

-----------------------------------

"What was that!" The two maids and a man turned to a cabinet at one side of the room. "What's that sound?" The man walked towards the cabinet.

---------------------------------

"Master Amakusa! The man! He's coming!" Megumi peered through the opening. "Minami! Let's go!" Ryu gabbed megumi's small hand and weakly pulled her through the trapdoor.

Ryu turned around after they've crossed through the trapdoor and pulled a small piece of cloth closing the trapdoor.

-----------------------------------

The door of the cabinet swigged open. "Hmpth! Its empty!" The man peered in.

-----------------------------------

The path way was long and winding. The ceiling was also very low. Ryu was leaning on Megumi as she supported his.

They walked in unison as the reached stairs and a trap door on the ceiling of the stairs. They both walked up the stairs and pushed the trap door upwards.

Their face met with the warm breeze, which carried the smell of the after rain. In the open air as they stood in the moon light out side the Amakusa mansion.

They have finally escaped from the clutches of fate?

No! This is just the beginning…
