Chapter 4 – the strange warning
Meg's POV
Second day, and we weren't making much progress. Kyu's little pep-talk did us good but again we were gripped with the same hopelessness of this case.
"Found anything yet?" I asked Kuniko, when she met me at the girls bathroom.
"No" she shook her head softly.
I sighed…
"Dunno, I haven't met Kyu yet"
"Oh" I stared at my feet.
"But he promised he'd get something before today's meeting, he was a bit eager to investigate something, so I let him be" she smiled "Lets hope he gets something to report"
"Yeah" I agreed, following her inside the bathroom "this is so strange. One of the most popular students in this school just died and everyone's acting like nothing happened"
"I'm stumped" she gave a tiny smile.
I was grateful for her. She had been a real help especially since Yuki had been so distant lately. She was always competitive but lately it felt like she was cold towards me.
"Yeah well, I think Akane deserved it…" someone said.
My ears pricked (mentally of course) Kuniko pulled me into a stall quickly. We pressed against the door listening to the conversation.
"Shiza, don't say that" a softer voice said
"She does, she acts like nothing mattered, she acts like she ruled this place… she deserves what she got"
"But she's our friend" a new voice said.
"She's dead to me, she betrayed us, and she's got what she deserves okay" the voice snapped, cracking "she deserves to die"
There was the sound of hurried footsteps, the bathroom door slammed.
"There she goes again" a voice said softly.
What was that all about?
Yuki's POV
Watching Sayuri was boring me to bits…
I have to try to talk to her again, at lunch. Can't say I'm looking forward to it.
I was sitting next to the girl and she's like out of it. Fazed, spaced out, total space cadet, and really annoying…
"Yuki?" a familiar voice whispered, and I nearly jumped because of it.
"Huh?"
Sayuri faced me "Stay away from that boy" she turned her face to the back.
"What boy?" I turned too, following her gaze; there were only girls in the back and one particular boy…
"Stay away" she said slowly, it was like she was begging me.
"But why?" my voice burst out suddenly.
The bell rang the same moment, and I was left there with no answer…
But why should I stay away from Ryuu?
