Chapter 4: Poison Which inside My Heart

There was a pretense silence inside the room. Ai was staring straight at Neuro and eventually to me. Neuro's eyes seemed dimmer than he used to be. Usually, his eyes were brightly glow green emerald but this time it looked like he was rather tired. Ai was seeking for Neuro's respond. I had to do something to stop this drama. Neuro really need a rest after he gone out for many hours. I looked at Godai-san as if I instructed him to rid of Ai. Godai-san was still not sure what he would do. At last I had to do my job that was to get rid of Ai from Neuro's sight.

"Ai, I don't know how long you will be sitting here but please leave now as we are close. I hope I do not need to repeat the same thing over and over again. You do understand, right?"

"Stop the drama, Yako! I knew it all along that you will force me to go out from your office. But I can be stubborn as my name could be. I will not back off until I hear what Athen going to say. Until then, I will stay here and will not move even if you use your full force." The words struck hard inside my heart. This girl really meant it. I felt very annoyed with her attitude. I tried to be as calmed as I could. But the more I tried to resist, she seemed to make it worst.

"Yako, you feel very annoyed and jealous right now. It likely that your position will be mine. You seemed to have some fondness about Neuro, right? That the only reason you could not back off from Neuro even though that your father case has been solved a long time ago. You just seemed do not have the opportunity to really meant your words. It is just like you are stucked. You are really…" I felt like I was embarrassed in front of Neuro, Godai-san and even Ai. She just slipped all my cover one by one. If it continues like this I will have to face the fact that I was defeated by Ai.

"No! It wasn't like that. It's true that my father case has been solved by Neuro. I'm stucked here because he wanted me to be as a decoy. You will never understand it. I am doing it for his sake as well. It is my way of saying thank you to him for helping me solved my father case. You will never get it. Will, you?" I smiled at her. She was in complete shock. She tried to back fire me but she failed to do so.

"Is that so? Never the less, you are always be with me. You only care to say thanks to me as I have eaten your mystery and wanted you to act as a decoy so that no one can reveal who I'm truly is. You are right, Yako. It's been a year since I have been forcing you to act as a detective. May be it is a really good time to stop all of this. As for the "ultimate mystery" I guess I shall forget about it. Yako, you are free from my grip now. You too, Godai. And Akane, your mystery, I will also devour in the mean time. Now, that everything is clear. I can head back to that place." Neuro eventually spoke with his eyes closed. His words that came out from his lips make all of us really shock. Godai-san charged at Neuro, demanding for an answer. My body was trembling so hard as if those words were hard to swallow into my mind. This is a lie. Neuro was lying. This is not true. He was obviously joking. It wasn't like him to give up that easily. Neuro, tell me you are lying…

I see nothing in your eyes, and the more I see the less I like.

Is it over yet, in my head?

I know nothing of your kind, and I won't reveal your evil mind.

Is it over yet? I can't win.

So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left.

I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.

I'm going all the way, get away, please.

[Chorus:

You take the breath right out of me.

You left a hole where my heart should be.

You got to fight just to make it through,

'cause I will be the death of you.

This will be all over soon.

Pour salt into the open wound.

Is it over yet? Let me in.

So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left.

I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.

I'm going all the way, get away, please.

[Chorus:

You take the breath right out of me.

You left a hole where my heart should be.

You got to fight just to make it through,

'cause I will be the death of you.

[Bridge

I'm waiting, I'm praying, realize, start hiding.

[Chorus:

You take the breath right out of me.

You left a hole where my heart should be.

You got to fight just to make it through,

'cause I will be the death of you.

I just could not believe the words. It was spoken as if Neuro had only a little time to do something that could relieve him. It was likely he was leaving the surface world. No, Neuro! I would not allow the way you walked away from my life was the same fast as you came in my life. I will never allow it! How much time passed since I have grown totally cared about you? You are the one who make me stand again after the pain of losing my father. You are the one who always beside me no matter what happen even though your act is weird. You are sadistic but you will never let me be hurt. You covered me from getting shot by the American man. You protected me with your body when we were brutally shot from every corner during fighting with Denjin HAL. Why, now?
