Recap of Chapter 2…

She rolled over and closed her eyes and started to sleep. The last thing she thought before going to sleep was:

My husband is lying to me… but what is he lying about?

Chapter 3: Discovering his Dark Side

The day after the argument with Sakura, Koji went back to the spot where he buried his clothes and dug them out. He didn't have to worry about work because he was on his lunch break. He also didn't have to worry about making up excuses because Sakura was at work and Sumi was at school.

He picked them up when he found them and put them in his car. He drove for a while until he found a trashcan. He threw the clothes inside and then lit a match. He knew he shouldn't be setting garbage on fire, but hey, he's already broken the law a million times so what was once more? After he was positive that there was nothing to lead to him, he got in his car and left to return to work.

Sakura was sitting in the nurse's lounge at the hospital where all the nurses went on their breaks. She was sitting around her friends talking and enjoying being off her feet for a while.

Her friend Rika, who had shoulder length curly red hair and hazel eyes, was looking through a magazine when she all of a sudden shouted out something that she just read.

"Oh my god guys! They have this article for privet detectives! If you had suspicions about someone you can make them follow them around!"

"So… are you saying that if we thought that let's say our husbands are cheating on us… we could get them to follow them around and they'd tell us what they found out?" her friend Naoko asked her. Naoko had chin length chocolate colored hair with puppy dog eyes that were covered by glasses.

"I think that's what it is," Chiharu, another one of her friends spoke. Chiharu had cookie brown hair that was a little wavy because when they were kids she constantly put her hair in pigtail braids and soft brown eyes.

"Maybe I should hire one," Sakura laughed. "Koji comes home late once a month and every time I ask him why he tells me a bunch of bullshit."

"Awe Sakura, what are you talking about? Koji loves you more then anything!" Naoko exclaimed.

"Hey, I'm not saying I think he's cheating. I just really want to know what he's hiding."

"Yeah well, I don't have to worry. Takashi never lies to me," Chiharu stated proudly. When everyone looked at her with questioning looks she sighed and exclaimed, "Okay, okay, except when he's telling his stupid stories!"

"That's more like it," Rika nodded her head in satisfaction.

Everyone laughed agreeing with her. They talked about anything that came to mind while on break. After awhile, their breaks were over and they had to return to their jobs.

Syaoran was sitting in his office, once again looking over the case. Eriol had called in sick today so it was just him. He couldn't help but think how most married men acted like such babies when they were sick. When Eriol had called him on the phone he sounded whiny and needy. He knew that because he could hear him complain to Tomoyo that he wasn't feeling good. It seemed that they always thought that they needed to be taken care of when they were sick while he on the other hand, just did what ever he could to get better fast and kept quiet.

"I feel sorry for Tomoyo today" he muttered to himself under his breath.

Looking through the case on the serial killer he looked at all the pictures of the twenty-three women who had been brutally murdered. He quickly read through all their names. The list went:

One- Yuri Amano.

Two- Yoshiko Ogena

Three- Shika Mayoto

Four- Reiko Minimoto

Five- Midori Jakushida

Six- Kyoko Tatsuoh

Seven- Chika Suzuki

Eight- Haya Hu

Nine- Iva Winiwano

Ten- Leiko Kim

Eleven- Minako Chan

Twelve- Nami Orimoto

Thirteen- Rini Kawana

Fourteen- Sachi Chin

Fifteen- Saeko Ichibaya

Sixteen- Suma Wah

Seventeen- Tadako Sudoko

Eighteen- Tori Rumimoto

Nineteen- Yutsuko Michimoto

Twenty- Usagi Su

Twenty-one- Tani Shitashi

Twenty-two- Aiko Masumoto

Twenty-three- Momoka Hiroshima.

"That," he mumbled, "is a very long list of names."

He started to think of all the things the women had in common. But all he could notice were that they all seemed to have the same background. Prostitution and drugs.

"The only thing that makes sense is that they were all prostitutes with drug addictions. But why would he want to kill people like that? They're already practically killing themselves?" he asked to nobody in particular.

If only he knew the actual date they died. Maybe then he could make a connection to everything. Or at least see if he killed on a certain time of the week…

"Let's think this through again…"

About a month later…

Sakura was sitting at home. A month had passed since she had been at work and they talked about the people that followed people around. She had thought about hiring a privet detective to see if he really was cheating on her, but thought better of it. But something was eating at her that she should find out what he was doing. He always ended up coming home late once a month

She started to think. It was so obvious! He came home late once every month around this time! There was never a specific date, but it was usually around this time. She had to find out what he was doing. But she didn't want to hear what he was doing from some privet detective; she wanted to find out herself. She reached over for the phone and dialed a babysitter. Tonight she would drop Sumi off at her babysitter's and then wait until Koji got off work to see if he really was telling the truth about working late.

She held the phone to her ear and waited for someone to pick up. "Hello?" a voice on the other line asked.

"Hi Nozomi?" she asked to make sure she had who she was looking for.

"Yes," the girl on the other end confirmed she was correct.

"It's Sakura Tzu, I was wondering if you could baby sit Sumiko for me," she asked hoping that she wasn't busy.

"Sure, when do you need me?"

"After school. I can drop her off at your house when I pick her up at three," Sakura told her.

"Sure! I love Sumiko, she's such a sweet little girl you're so lucky to have her!" Nozomi squealed on the other line. She had been babysitting Sumi since she was a little baby and Sakura knew she could always count on her to baby-sit for her when she needed her.

"Great! I'm not sure, but you may have to watch her for the night. It kind of depends what happens tonight," Sakura told her.

"That's okay. I have stuff of hers here anyways," Nozomi reassured her.

"Oh thank you so much! You are such a life saver!" Sakura exclaimed into the phone.

"No problem. I'll see you when you drop Sumi over, okay?"

"Yes, I'll see you then. Bye!" Sakura told her as she hung up.

She sighed. At least Nozomi could baby sit for her. But she was having a feeling in the pit of her stomach that she wasn't going to like what she was going to see later on.

Sumi came and got into her mother's car. Sakura looked at her daughter and smiled at her making Sumi smile back.

"How was school today?" she asked her.

"Okay," Sumi shrugged. She then grinned and said in an excited voice, "We finger painted today!"

"Really? That must have been fun," Sakura laughed.

"I made a butterfly!"

"I'll bet it was really pretty."

"Everyone said so," Sumi said proudly.

"Everyone was probably right," Sakura smiled. "Oh, and I'm going to drop you off at Nozomi's okay? She's going to be watching you for a bit."

"Yeah! Nozomi!" Sumi cried.

"I'll take that as a yes," Sakura laughed.

A few minutes later she arrived at Nozomi's house and dropped Sumi off.

"Aren't you going to give me a kiss before you go see Nozomi?" Sakura teased.

Sumi giggled and gave her a kiss on the check before she went up to the front door. Sakura waited in the driveway until she saw Sumi walk inside the house. When she saw Nozomi let her in with a smile, she drove away to watch the police station.

She parked her car a few feet from the police station. She kept her car off incase he really was telling the truth and was working late so she wouldn't be wasting gas. She looked at her watch and saw that it was almost four-thirty, that was the usual time Koji got off work.

A few minutes later she watched him walk out the doors and head over to his car. Once she saw him walk in and drive away, she started up her car and followed. She saw him stop at a diner a few blocks away from the station and walk in to get something to eat.

"Why is he going to get something to eat? He always comes home to eat with Sumiko and I," Sakura muttered confusedly when she saw him walk in.

She walked over to the window to see if he was meeting someone. As she peeked in, she saw that he wasn't sitting with anyone he was just sitting there, eating what he ordered. She was really confused now. Why would he come in and sit by himself when he could come home and eat with his family? After a while he finished eating and she ran back to her car and waited for him to come out. It was starting to get darker out and she was wondering what he was doing when he got into his car and drove off.

"Where's he going?" she asked herself. "Our house is in the other direction."

She drove down the road following him. What she saw next shocked her more than anything else that night. She saw that they were driving down the downtown area where most people did business. 'Like prostitutes' she found herself thinking. She allowed herself to say a little prayer for the poor prostitutes that had been murdered over the past few years. They would have been working on this street. The thing that shocked her was she saw Koji's car stop by a working girl. She saw her talking to him through the window and then walk in the passenger's side.

She had gotten a good look at the girl. From what she could see from her position was that the girl had platinum blonde hair and was average height. Wearing a very revealing outfit and was a little on the chunky side. Picking up prostitutes only meant that he really was cheating on her. Was she not beautiful enough? Was she not pleasurable enough? So many questions were racing through her mind to why he would go around and do that but still followed to see what he was doing.

She drove and drove following Koji as he kept on driving. After about twenty minutes he stopped. She looked at where they stopped and saw that it was in front of the forest. But it wasn't just any forest…… it was the forest where all the dead bodies were found.

She parked her car far away from his and quietly ran over to follow them. She was really wondering what he was up to now. She made sure to stay hidden in trees so that they wouldn't see her at all. She then strained herself to hear what they were saying.

"Why did you bring me all the way out here?" the woman asked with an annoying high-pitched voice.

"So that no one will see what I'm about to do too you," Koji responded with a scary look on his face that Sakura could see all the way over from her hiding place.

The blonde was looking a little nervous now and said in a shaky voice, "What a…are y…yo…you talk…talking about?"

Then before Sakura or the blonde knew it, he took out a knife and stabbed it right in her heart. The blonde stumbled back while Koji pulled out the knife. She fell down on her knees crying out in pain as he stabbed her over and over again. Before Sakura knew it, the girl was obviously dead and her body was badly mutilated from all the other damage he had done. She didn't even look human anymore! It was the worst site she had ever seen.

There was her husband, the man she had loved for years now, covered in a person's blood. Looking over the body smiling like a little boy who had just gotten the best Christmas present he could have ever asked for. She saw him go and wipe off the knife he used, most likely to clean off any fingerprints. Then she saw him pick up the body and bury it in a shallow grave. But it wasn't like he was being nice or sympathetic either; he just tossed her in there! How could he do that to a dead girl!

She then saw him go back to his car and change his clothes and ditching his dirty blood covered ones. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She then realised that she had to head home and call the police about what she had witnessed. So she raced to her car and drove past her husband speeding down the road.

She couldn't close her eyes. Every time she closed her eyes she saw the scene all over again. Koji picking up the woman off the street, Koji taking the woman into the forest, Koji stabbing the woman, and Koji tossing her aside. It was just too much or her to bear! She couldn't believe all this time she had been married to a killer. How stupid could she have been to think he was perfect! When she got home she was so sending his guilty ass to prison!

On her way home the only thing running through her mind was:

"My husband is a killer. I'm going to make sure he pays for his sins."
