As a treat, I've made another chapter. Because this is fun and I'm done with schooooo for the year. ;)
Gumi quit groaning and the storm settled down. The sky wasn't sunny and bright, but rather still dark and gloomy. However, it was significantly better than where it was before.
Luka didn't mind sharing with Lily. The tall blonde was softer than expected, but she still smelt of weed and alcohol. Lily wasn't minding it so much, either. But, her thoughts were almost identical with the pink-head's; She smelt of cigarette smoke.
Miku and Rin loved curling up next to each other. They seemed to be just the right size for each other. Although, Miku tended to figit. The blonde didn't enjoy that too much.
Gumi was the lone wolf. She felt absolutely miserable without her blonde. At least then she would be able to be less cold and irritated. Why did she have to choose-...
The green-head's thoughts were immediately interrupted by a loud screeching noise followed by a large thump. The four members jumped in surprise and quickly struggled to climb up.
Rin looked over to where Luka was once sitting, noticing her lack of presence.
The shed door was wide open, leaving a large view of the stormy sky, the green wet grass, and the dirt road.
Meanwhile, at the library of The Diamonds, Gakupo, Yukari, and Oliver were looking at the extensive fiction collection. Hundreds and hundreds of fairy tales were put on the enormous shelving of the insanely large library.
Oliver picked a green-covered book labeled, "Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales." The blond loved reading magical tales of the past. It always sparked a fascination in the young boy.
"That's a good book, Oliver. That's one of my favourite." The purple-haired girl commented gleefully. "It has lots to choose from and they're all from different regions."
Gakupo was paying no mind to the younger people down the shelves. He was paying too much attention to the fine detail of the many book covers set in front of him. Each book had a special design to mark the placement. He was in awe how each book had a dizzyingly spectacular spine.
"So what story are you going to read first, Oliver? I suggest the little red riding hood tale. It's different and more way darker than the story told now." Yukari suggested with a smile. It was nice to know that you're not the only who cared for and read books.
"I'm going to read the one you suggested. I like dark fairy tales!" Oliver beamed and looked for the page where the tale started. He felt happy not choosing to go with Meiko. It was stormy and icky outside.
Gakupo was getting slightly tired of looking at books. There were lots to look at, but his attention to them was slowly diminishing. The purple-haired man went over to see what Oliver and Yukari were conversing about, until he got a phone call. He checked the caller ID and saw that Meiko was calling him.
"Hello?" Gakupo greeted into the phone. A smile stretched across his face as he listened to what the brunette needed. "Alright, we'll be right there." He strolled over to his friends and grinned. "We have an emergency meeting. It's about the Panda Heroes."
Yukari and Oliver didn't expect a meeting so soon. They both quickly followed behind Gakupo as he lead them over to Meiko's home.
Meiko sighed and turned over to her group sitting at the large table. Every single member was there except for Kaito. The blue-haired man was busy with many different activities, he usually wasn't scheduled for the whole day.
The brunette sighed and began to speak. "The Panda Heroes are no longer at their alley-way hideout. They are not too far from the city and not too far away from our homes. We need to be careful and try to find different pathways around that huge baseball diamond. In addition to their relocation, more criminals will be heading in this direction."
Gakupo nodded and spoke up almost immediately. "Do you have any information on why they moved?"
"My number one theory is that their alley wasn't exactly sheltering them from the harsh storms. It's going to snow soon and that baseball diamond is probably going to be their winter base." The young woman exclaimed while pacing back and forth.
Cul smiled and started to snicker. How is a baseball diamond supposed to keep them warm? She thought to herself.
Yukari glanced over to her sister's direction and took a deep breath. "Cul, what is so funny?"
"Yeah, care to share, Cul?" Oliver beamed and rested his head on the table.
"How are they supposed to keep warm in a baseball diamond? It's not like a stadium where it's more like a shelter." The red-haired girl pointed out.
"I'm fairly certain that there is some sort of small shack or something of it. Maybe an abandoned house." Meiko turned forewards to her group once more. "That was all I needed to speak about with you. You guys can leave and go back to whatever it was that you were doing." The brunette quickly realized that she missed an important detail. "Don't forget to tell Kaito."
"Thank you, Meiko. You are always looking out for us." Gakupo smiled brightly and got up from his seat. "I will be going back to the library. Are you coming along, Yukari and Oliver?"
"Certainly." Yukari accepted and sat straight up. She pushed her seat in neatly and went to go join the purple-haired man.
"Yes please!" Oliver jumped for joy and turned his seat into the table. "I am looking foreward to reading more of the Grimms' tales!"
The three bookworms marched off to the library happily. Meanwhile, Cul and Meiko were still standing near the table.
"I think the rain has died down. I will be heading home now, Meiko." The red-haired girl curtsied and left the room, leaving the brunette by herself.
"This is too dangerous. I need more information." The young woman thought to herself.
