The Ultimate Detective and The Ultimate Hope Gaiden: Komaru Alone!

Chapter Three: Komaru's Final Day of Imprisonment!

*Beep, Beep*

Komaru groaned, her eyes opening just a crack as she blindly felt around the table next to her bed, sighing in relief when she finally hit the Off button on her alarm clock. As her awareness started to come into focus, Komaru sat up, letting out a slight yawn as she got on her feet.

"…Ugh…bedhead again…" Komaru grumbled as she felt the top of her head.

As she drowsily walked over to her closet, she shed her pink night top and dropped it on the floor. Once she opened her closet, she dug out one of her high school uniforms, the drowsy hazy dissipating from her mind as she donned the green skirt and white sailor top.

"…If only I had the chance to actually go to high school, wearing this uniform every day would actually be meaningful…" Komaru mused as she tied the green scarf and red tie around her neck.

Sighing yet again at having her high school days stolen from her, she made her way out of her room and to the living room, turning to stare out the barred windows, tempting her with the thought of freedom.

"…Today's the day…I can feel it. Today…I'm gonna get out of here!"

Her objective now set, Komaru narrowed her eyes and turned towards the door, stretching her arms to prepare herself for the task as hand.

"Alright…"

Once her preparations were complete, she bent her knees and charged at the door, banging on it with all the power of her Assassin's Fist.

"LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT OF HERE! HEY! GEEZ!"

Her angry yells devolved into unintelligible screams with each show of force she thrust upon the door. This show of defiance went on for about five minutes before she finally relented, sweaty as she sighed "…Guess today's not the day, huh?"

Panting, Komaru dragged herself away from the door, picking up a nearby towel resting on the table in front of the couch as she plopped herself down on it. Once she wiped the sweat from her brow, she hung the towel on the back of her neck and reached for a Nyon Nyon magazine.

"Well…I've read this a bajillion times already…but it's better than nothing while I wait for breakfast…" Komaru sighed as she began to skim through the magazine.

*Ding Dong*

Komaru looked up from her magazine and over towards the door, her eyes narrowed in an annoyed expression as she whined "GEEZ! IT'S FINALLY BREAKFAST?!IT'S ABOUT TIME, I'M STARVED IN HERE!" Komaru sighed as she thought I wonder how many times Makoto and I would yell like that at Mom when we were waiting for her to cook? What I wouldn't give to go back to that old life…

Closing the magazine and putting it back on the coffee table, Komaru stood up and slid the towel off her neck, dropping it haphazardly on the couch before walking over to the door. Just as she approached it, the silver slot to the right of the door moved up, allowing a plate with a fried egg, bacon slices, buttered toast, and a cup of soup to slide over to her side.

Plate in hand, she made her way over to the fridge, rummaging through it until she took out a bottle of water, grumbling "I wanted Japanese style this morning…" Whatever; I should be grateful I'm getting food at all… Sighing, she took her breakfast to the table and sat down, clapping her hands in prayer as she chanted "…Itadakimasu." Don't know why I'm doing this; there's nobody here for me to thank for the food…but I guess sticking to this routine that Mom and Dad taught me is one of the few things that keeps me calm…

Shaking the thoughts from her head, Komaru took a bite out of her toast, then put it down to wash it down with some soup.

*Rattle Rattle*

"Huh?" Komaru looked over to the door, wondering "Huh? What…what happened…?"

*Rattle Rattle*

Gasping, Komaru's eyes widened as she stood up, her legs shaking in shock as she wondered "Could it be…? Did someone come to rescue me?!" Hope filling her heart for the first time in over a year, she ran over to the door, colliding with it as she screamed with tears in her eyes "PLEASE! SAVE ME! I'M TRAPPED IN HERE! I'M BEGGING YOU!" She banged on the door with her fist, crying "PLEASE! SAVE ME! I DON'T WANT TO LIVE THIS LIFE ANYMORE! PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR!"

*SLIT*

Komaru's eyes widened, the young girl terrified into silence as three metal bladed pierced the formerly impenetrable metal door, their tips just inches from her face.

Wha…what's going on?!

Komaru's imprisoned life was about to end, just as she wanted. However, little did she know that her savior fully intended to end her new life as quickly as it did her old one, and that she was about to step into a brand-new nightmare. A nightmare that would threaten to throw her in the depths of despair, but one that would also forge new bonds of friendship, and finally reunite her with her long lost brother.
