Chapter 9: Night Time Stalker

-In Lupin's room-

The shot that was fired was a mistake. Sort of. Jigen had shot a can to let Tsurugi know where they were, despite his hate towards her. So they all knew that Zenigata was there, but they watched him from their window, all laughing at his rage.

"Man, Ol' Pops still has it in him!" Lupin let out a whooping laugh after he spoke. Fujiko laughed in agreement, Jigen and Goemon just nodding.

"Where did--" Jigen's sentence was cut off by knocking on the door. "Nevermind." He went to the door, and sure enough there was Tsurugi.

"Hey Jigen." She spoke calmly and smiled. "Is Fujiko here?" She asked after looking at Jigen for a moment in silence. He nodded and let her in.

"Fujiko. Guest." Jigen said before sitting on the couch. Fujiko stood up and smiled softly.

"What do you need Tsurugi?" She asked a bit worried.

"Can we talk in private?" She said staring at the three boys.

"Sure." Lupin said dragging Goemon and Jigen from the room. The door shut behind them but not before a nasty glare from Jigen and Goemon.

"So what's the problem hun?" Fujiko asked sitting down.

"I think...I think I'm beginning to develop feelings for Zenigata." Tsurugi said in a solemn voice. Fujiko looked over her for a second. She wasn't lying.

"Well, why not tell him?" Fujiko said, just as serious.

"Really? Do you think that is wise?" Tsurugi said, nearly astounded Fujiko nodded.

"Now I'm sure that he'll be looking for you. You best head out." Fujiko spoke kindly.

"Okay, thanks!" She ran off and came to the room Zenigata and her were sharing.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL HER TO DO THAT!?" The three men's voices rang from their room. Fujiko merely shrugged and walked out of the room.

"We're screwed Lupin." Jigen said.

"I know! I know..."

-In Zenigata's room-

Tsurugi had just unpacked when Zenigata knocked on the door. She got up and opened the door.

"Sorry about leaving you alone. I thought you might have needed some time to think." She said softly. He nodded and smiled. He handed her some flowers in a vase.

"I'm sorry about my ranting and random death grips." He mumbled as if he had practiced this line hundreds of times.

"Oh, they're beautiful, thanks." She said with a smile. "I have a surprise for you too. Close your eyes..." She said. He followed obediently, but worriedly. She then gave him a hug and a pretty fiery kiss to go along with it. He opened his eyes only to find that he was staring into hers. "Did you like it?"

"Y-y-y..." He just nodded instead.

"Wonderful." She said. She gave him another kiss, this time he returned in a decent manner.

'How long has it been since I've done this...?' Ran through Zenigata's mind. He liked it, and Tsurugi seemed to like it, so he didn't let the thought get to him. A few moments later Tsurugi pulled away gently and walked out of the hotel room. Zenigata stood stunned once more.

Just outside the door Tsurugi mumbled to herself. "I can't believe I just did that...Why did I listen to her?" She was doubting Fujiko's advice now. And that left her heart broken. Fujiko had been like a mother to her for the longest of time. Now, here she was doubting her. "I'm so stupid!" She screamed and ran to her motorcycle. A few moments later Zenigata was yelling at a cloud of dust.

"TSURUGI! COME BACK!" He ran after her for a few minutes but realized it was hopeless. He trudged back to the hotel, Lupin and Fujiko watching the depressed investigator come back into the hotel.

"Look what you did now Fuji." Lupin said teasingly.

"It's not my fault! She didn't have to take my advice." She spoke in defense.

"Fujiko she's looked up to you like a mother for the past 10 years now. She's going to take everything you say to heart." Goemon's voice was heard from the other side of the room.

"What? So you're all just going to gang up on me! Fine!" She screamed as she stormed from the room and left in Lupin's car. They all watched as she drove away.

"I hope she brings back an extra bottle of gin." Jigen said.
