Title: A Wish upon a Detective, Chapter 2

Hiyohiyo's theater: Hello everyone! In the last chapter, I really had a bad dream. Is it a premonition? No, it musn't be. Ayumi promised he'll be ok. I'll kill him if he didn't keep his promise. On the next chapter … Flaming Arrow of Regrets

That's all for Hiyohiyo's theater. Thank you.

Flaming Arrow of Regrets

Ayumu narrating …

Last time is real. But why? That hunter … and the message. But more than that, I am pretty sure it is intended for that person. But why? What in the world is happening?

I asked Rio to take care of that silly girl. How come she doesn't even know how to take good care of herself? But the mystery is why…why did that arrow not aim the blade children…but that person?

"Kiyotaka's brother…are you prepared?" Kouske asked seriously.

Now that he mentioned it, we do not have any hint as to what kind of person we are going to face this time. Could he be stronger than Kanon? Now that they found out Kanon's death, it wouldn't surprise us if they will be more prepared. Hizumi just left after killing Kanon. Now, one of their strongest enemies is not around. They are most free as they could ever be. And I believe that more members of the police department even more influential than officer Shenban are associated with them. What is their motive of inviting us this time?

Hiyono narrating…

Back then, I can somewhat recall. Maybe it is just my hallucination. But that arrow… how come it went on that direction. And Narumi … could he had seen it before I did that's why he kept moving away as I kept shouting at him? Why in the world … would that happen?

I am still a bit frustrated but I heard light footsteps coming in front of my room. As it opened, there stood a girl carrying a tray of tea. That girl is Rio. I asked her where Narumi is. It is now 6:01 p.m. Where are the others? Did they …

"You must be worried about them, aren't you?" The only response I gave her is a nod.

"You shouldn't be worrying. I guess now you already knew what really happened."

Those words she mentioned. That meant a lot to me. So I am not just hallucinating. That arrow with the letter is for me. But why? Doesn't it came from hunter?

Ayumu narrating…

6:00 p.m., the hunter is pretty confident. He didn't mention the exact location. But if there's another thing I am sure of … is simply a game over for him.

Riyoko: Should we really be hanging around at such a serious time? Ayumu, Kouske … how can you enjoy eating dinner while Hiyono's life is in danger?

Kouske: Don't worry…it's her we're talking about. She won't die easily. She might be saved by her stupidity.

Riyoko: Kouske!

Ayumu: Hiyono is a strong girl. You shouldn't worry that much. She'll be fine.

Riyoko: Come to think of it, you asked Rio to advance her clock five minutes than the original. Why do you have to do that?

Before I gave any reaction to what I heard … another arrow came to our direction.

And again, it has another note with it.

"XXX"

A thin man wearing a white coat approached us pointing a gun carefully as if forcing us to come with him. Showing us a picture of Hiyono and Rio held captive, we are forced to go with him.

Hiyono narrating…

He's a detective. I am pretty sure he anticipated what are happening now. He promised to be safe. I have to believe in him.

Rio and I are both captured from my house. We are attacked from both the door and the windows and we had no where to run. Anyway, Rio told me things all happened based on Ayumu's plan.

We are brought in an abandoned oil factory. It appears to be near the sea for we can smell the salty water. Maybe they are planning to force kill the blade children with us in this factory. After locking us up, maybe they plan to start a fire. The gas will make the fire bigger and bigger. Then all they have to do is prepare something to make it appear as an accident. Based on our present situation, even if our burned bodies are discovered, our identities may remain hidden.

I was held as a hostage in a laboratory. Rio and I are separated. I do not know where she is. But this place … this place is not the location they asked Narumi to go. Where is this place?

Suddenly, a huge man got my hands and pointed a gun directly at my head as he forced me to watch a large monitor.

"Watch what happened to those who become related with blade children." Is he kidding? No matter what, Ayumu promised he'll be safe. It hurts a lot. My temperature is getting higher. I can feel the heat increasing…but…something forced me to watch…is it my trust in him, I wonder? I don't like this feeling. I hate it.

What I am seeing is really unbelievable! How did they do that? What on earth is

going on?

Ayumu narrating…

We are now in the abandoned factory near the sea. Since we still do not know where Hiyono and Rio are…we have to follow them. All went according to my plan. But if there's one thing that surprised me…

Hunter: Move aside. Ace, Veil, come over and bring her with you!

After saying those words, two men in white approached us. Following them was another person wearing a red hood. Who on earth is that person?

"Very clever, Ayumu Narumi. You came here already anticipating what we will do. You gave your friends tracing devices and asked your sister to locate them just in case." That is what the hunter said.

This time, it is our time to fight back. All went according to the plan. But then again, if there's one thing that surprised me …

Hiyono narrating…

That is right. He expected what the hunters will do to us and to them. But if there's one thing I cannot handle, it's that girl I am now seeing in the monitor. She looks exactly just like me. How can it be? I am Hiyono Yuizaki, the only journalist in Tsukiomi High School! Why? Why do all of these happen?

I want to keep watching. I want to see Narumi…but I felt the point of a needle injected in my right arm. It made me feel dizzy, weak … and helpless.

Ayumu narrating…

Hiyono? It cannot be. She isn't supposed to be here. Stay calm Ayumu…just like Kiyotaka always say. But really … this isn't in my plan. Hiyono … is she really one of them?

Kouske: Ayumu, what on earth is happening? You black heads, who is that girl!

Now that the hood is not covering that person, we are all confused … the girl with the weird song…is it really her?

"Hiyono Yuizaki. Sorry for lying to you … Kiyotaka's brother."

Her voice, her appearance, her dress, she isn't Hiyono, is she? How can she be with them? The Hiyono I know would never do that. But now … she is holding a gun and I am tied up. Kouske and Riyoko are both shocked as me. Brother … what the hell is going on?

The unexpected happened. If the person we believed the most in the world lied to us, if that person really plan to kill us from the very beginning … how come it is still hard to hate that person … after every lie that she made. The Hiyono I know… will never lie to me!

Hiyono narrating…

I hate to see him sad… and more than that … it hurts so much to know that that he's hurt is because of me. Ayumu … that girl… is not me… You have to believe in yourself. You have to believe in me!
