Chapter 21: The first clue
Disclaimer: Sadly enough as I've said before I own no mars except for my four characters and plot.
Kira: ok guys, today we have a jam packed chapterRei: Jam… yum (licking his lips and laughing.).
Harumi and Kira together: Men
Tetsuya: Hey why am I included in this?
Harumi: you have your reasons (Laughing with Kira)
Akitaka: Ok well, we last left off when everyone has read the letter.
Me: If any of you bothered to participate ill name you at the end of this chapter for the contest.
// Begin
-In the beginning when France and…
Rei: Hey that's not the right script
Harumi: it's the one I got
Rei: Don't you find it odd that France would be mentioned?
Harumi: now that you mention it
Kira: good grief, here this is the right one. (Hands Harumi the script)
Harumi: Thanks
/ Begin (again)
Everyone is in the living room not believing what is going on, and Kira is in Reis arm's crying. The letter is clenched in Reis father hands and then the phone rings. No one bothers to answer it so the phone so the answering machine picks up.
"You have reached the home of Rei, Kira, and Alice. Sorry that we cannot come to the phone right now but if you leave your name number and a brief message we'll get back to you as soon as we possibly can. Masao's voice said over the phone. "… As you know I have your darling daughter…click"
Rei ran over to the phone and picked it up "Masao," Rei spat with more venom in his voice than a baby cobra.
"Aaaah yes Rei be a dear and put me on speaker" Masao said sweetly
"You sick bastard" Rei said but still put him on
"What do you want?" Harumi said
"Oh Haumi! Long time no hear." Masao said sweetly and full of innocence
"Don't you dare speak to me like we're budding you son of a bitch." Harumi hissed
"Temper, temper y dear you don't want something too happen to dear Alice. Now I'm calling to tell you if the police get involved I will kill your darling Alice…"
"Oh-My-God" Kira squeaked
"… Also don't try to trace any calls I make because then you wouldn't have any fun playing Hide-and-and-go-seek. I don't like cheaters." Masao said sharply.
"W… why are you d…doing t…this?" Kira studded
"Because my dear it's fun and to prove anything could happen. Plus Rei is getting too soft and easily cheated." Kira whimpers a dog's whimper and starts to cry.
"The Rules are simple…" Masao started but was cut off
"This is not a game!!" Harumi boomed
"Oh but it is… it's a game for Alice's life!! Now the rules are simple…" silence on the line from everyone waiting (me: ya and the fact that their angry beyond reason) "… as the card said there are three notes with three clues on each note, except for the last one that has one clue with three parts. The third clue will tell you of the location of your daughter all of the clues are close by and some may be closer then you want. Goodbye and have fun in the game of life… Click" a dial tone takes the place of Masao's voice everyone just stood their in shock of what they just heard (Kira: Except for me I'm on the floor in shock of what I just heard). Then after what seemed like forever Rei lifted his hand and turned the phone off. Then their was silence, (me: ok I'm going to try and describe it but if you think it sounds funny sorry) a silence so deep and sad, like a vacuum sucked away everything and left sadness, loneness and HATE! Kira's life seemed to have left her; Kira's joy and happiness left her with her little girl.
"I'll get her back" Kira growled like a demon from hell. " I swear by everything I love and care about I'll get her back." She stood up and said with her newfound strength "Give me the letter"
Everyone watched as Kira walked to a drawer to get some paper and a pencil. Then Harumi gave Kira the paper and watched as she sat herself at the coffee table and work on the letter.
"Ok…" Kira started " Kyoko Harumi and I can start on this…" She said motioning to the papers "… Tetsuya, Rei and Akitaka can get something to eat, for some reason I'm hungry."
"Umm I think that Tetsuya should take my place he's better at riddles then I am" Harumi said "plus, you need a women's touch when it comes to food" She said trying to lighten everyone's mood.
"Fine." Kira said with a blank face "pull up a chair and pick one of the riddles I have the first one"
"I'll take the second one" Kyoko said
"Then it looks like I'll take the last one" Tetsuya said
"Uhuh" Reis father said and everyone was startled, they all forgot that he was there.
"Oh I'm sorry I forgot that you were there." Kira said suddenly feeling a little weak.
" I guess I could go tell your mother what has happened."
"I'm sorry theirs nothing for you to do" Kira said sadly
"It's ok ill probably get in the way any way" He said with a forced laugh
Kira walked over to Rei's father and gave him a hug "we'll keep you posted" She said as she let him go
" Go find her, I know you can"
" Ya!" Kira said
Reis father left and Kira sat back down at the table. Kira, Kyoko and Tetsuya worked on the notes for about an hour and a half. Long enough for Rei, Harumi and Akitaka to get back with the food. Then after brain killing working…
"I've got it", Kyoko yelled with pride
"Huh?" Kira said in her own little world
"I got the riddle its…" she was cut off by Rei and Harumi running into the room and Akitaka following shortly after.
"What's with the screaming?" Rei said
" I wasn't screaming I was yelling. And I was just about to say I just figured out the Riddle." Kyoko said matter-of-factly.
"Well what is it?" Rei said excitedly
"It's a ship."
"Huh?" Tetsuya said
" Well look the clues are their, a ship can only be a ship and at the harbor you see a lot of them."
"Ohhhh" Tetsuya said
"What about you, what do you got?" Kyoko asked Tetsuya.
"I think it's a library or a bookstore I'm not sure which one. I'm positive its not a video because a place of books is full of knowledge god I cant think which one." Tetsuya sighed.
"I have an idea" Harumi said excitedly "Isn't there a library up the street?"
"Ya" Kira said
"Well that's a whole lot closer than any book store." Harumi said "Kira what did you get?"
"I got middle," Kira said flatly
"Huh?" Harumi asked
"The answer is middle"
"Ok, library, middle and ship" Rei said
"Oh at the library they have a section on section he middle of the books about ships. Lets go"
Everyone piled into a 5 people car and drove to the library. When they got to the library they asked to be directed to the section on ships, when the librarian left they tore every book off the shelf and looked for anything that had to do with ships. After another fifteen minutes, they went though every book and left Kira in tears because they didn't find anything
"Oh Kira" A sweet milky voice said behind the her
"Oh good I've been looking for you we have a book for you that a sweet little boy dropped this off a couple of hours ago and asked us to give this to you." The lady said behind the counter. "We were about to put it back thinking that you wouldn't show up and we cannot really hold the books" She continued as she pulled a book out from under the counter. On the cover was a picture of a giant white ship.
-Kira reached over and grabbed it then she gently opened the book like it would explode then she opened it to the middle. Sitting on the middle of the page was an envelope the read KIRA on the front of it.
"Kira?" Rei said, "What are you doing?" He said not noticing the book in her hands.
She blinks a tear out of her eyes and looks up and the lady who helped her was gone. And sitting in front of her was a white feather; She gently picked up the feather and turns around to Rei with tears of happiness in her eyes. Rei sees the letter in her hands and lets out a giant sigh of relief.
"Lets go home and figure this out" Kira said.
/ End
Me: This took a long time to write. I kept erasing and rewriting and tearing it in half but now that I'm finished I'm happy yay. I may hear a little grief but sue me I haven't been able to type for two weeks. Well the lady Kira talked to was an angel, I love to put supernatural and I've been waiting for the perfect time to do it. This angel will come again in the later chapters.
Kira: why would they give you grief if you couldn't put this story up?
Me: you don't know the people well do you
Kira: Well…
Tetsuya: Well now we're so see ya guys.
