Title: A Wish upon a Detective, Chapter 6

Hiyohiyo's theater: Seiji is just like always. He's very kind. He always visit me. This time, when I'm sick again…He's also the same in France. But then, when I think about him, why does Ayumu's face pop out from no where as if he wants me to think about him as well? Ayumu Narumi … who in the world is he?

Author's note: Thank you very much for waiting. I admit I had so many things to do. I'm currently busy in updating and checking the grammar of my former works as Serenity Castlecloud. If ever you're interested, this is what makes me busy even more …

Whether you'll like it or not, I'll take my chances. I consider it a super valid reason why I wasn't able to update even when it's vacation already.

Back to Spiral, please don't forget to leave review/s after reading this. If you'll be so kind, please do it per chapter. I'll really appreciate it.

PS: I started this long time so if the story is somewhat not fit for the recent updates in the actual Spiral, please try to understand and accept this fanfic in its own way. God bless!

Whispers From A Troubled Heart

Hiyono narrating…

It is like before. In France, dad was always busy with work and mom with her own business. I'm left alone in the big mansion … Maya Ruinaire, is it really worth to be daughter of a business tycoon?

"Maya?" Again, Seiji came to see me.

"I heard from the professor you're sick so I decided to ditch classes. How are you feeling?"

His reasoning … it made me laugh. Ditching classes just to see me, it made me happy … yet this feeling again, what does Narumi Ayumu have to do with my life?

"I'm fie. I just caught a little fever. Maybe because I'm not used in the weather here."

"Probably." He sat beside me and touched my forehead to know my temperature.

"So what happened in school?" I asked.

"Surprisingly, our classmates are worried already. You really did a good job making friends with them."

Again, he made me smile. "I guess."

I actually wanted to ask him to specify which classmates he pertained but that would be troublesome. I don't know how I'll act if that person is one of them … why will I even care?

Ayumu narrating…

I can at least ask them what happened. It's not like she rejected my help. Maya …

Hiyono…

"Hiyo-…" She isn't Hiyono. She could be. She couldn't be. That Maya Ruinaire, it's all her fault … but … no, if she really is Hiyono, then I should take the truth out from this pretending girl.

"What happened to the new girl in class?" I asked. We are in the journalists' room again, the only safe place as I described it before. But if she isn't Hiyono, something which … I really can't rely on for the mean time, what should be done? Kiyotaka … what is he thinking?

"It seems like she got fever and just didn't attend classes."

"Will…will…" I tried to make my move. I approached her closer and closer. As expected, she didn't move at all. She wouldn't even bother to take one step back. All she did was stare at me with wondering face with the spoon of butter still on her mouth.

"What?" She asked.

"Nothing, just thought you should watch your weight and stop eating sweets for a while." I just blurted it out. Hiyono or not … I should know, I know … since then … because she's the only person … at least …

"Let's go on a date later."

"Whatt?????????????????" She almost choke out. "Please say that again! Say that again! You serious or what? At most you should make some romantic move in asking me out! But no if I say that you might change your mind, then that would leave me no other choice but to say yes. Fine then whatever, I don't care anymore! YES!"

Jeez…did she even know I'm just here?

She didn't stop blinking and giving me her wired excited face the entire time we walked in towards the park. "I'll just buy some ice creams. What flavor do you want?"

"Vanilla!"

"Fine, wait here."

I know this isn't like me. I'll never ask that stupid girl out…not unless…

But wait, is that?

"Maya." Just the perfect time when I'm already trying to figure out the truth my own way, something I cannot ask the blade children because they already have tasks assigned to them.

"Hey, Ayumu?" Seiji called out. He probably noticed I'm looking in their direction.

"I thought Maya's sick and decided to stay at home."

"Yes but she just won't feel better by staying at one place once."

"I guess." Maya's leaning on him. They're pretty close. "Is she asleep?" I asked.

Seiji nodded. "Yeah, well can I ask you to guard her for a while? I know this might sounds sudden but I just need to go talk to someone through phone. I don't want her to wake up. She just fell asleep a few minutes ago."

"Huh?"

"Please do me the favor." It's more like he's forcing me than asking me the favor.

I replaced his position. "You sure you won't get jealous?"

"She doesn't like you after all. I'm the one he likes so why will I be?" His expression is a little suspicious. "Just forget it! I'll be back in a while."

Besides, I shouldn't be worrying … it's you after all. At least, I know she's in good hands.

"Yeah whatever." I smirked.

He left without a trace.

Hiyono is waiting but isn't this girl I'm with Hiyono? She's like her … in all angles.

The moment should have stayed long … at least, she's safe.

Hiyono narrating…

Where am I? A Dream? It's blurred. I can see his face … but … he isn't Seiji… Na-ru-mi?

"What?"

"You awake." He said. But without thinking, I just pulled myself away from him … somehow, I didn't want to …

"What are you doing here? Where's Seiji?" I'm still a little sleepy so and I feel a little dizzy so I can't stand up but I can hit him already. What could Ayumu Narumi be doing here in the first place?

I took all my strength and stood up. I'm a little crooked in my walk but I managed.

"Hey!" He stood up and…

Ayumu narrating…

Unknowingly, I …

"The ice creams … just eat first. They're beginning to melt."

She innocently took one of them from me. She took the strawberry rather than vanilla.

"Thank … you." What could she be thinking?

She finally calmed down. If she didn't stop, I should have dragged her already to sit in the chair again. Her fever might get worse and that Seiji might kill me.

"So … where is Seiji?" She really is calmer. "I know I shouldn't act that way. Seiji won't leave me with another guy for no reason. I should have asked first and listened to your explanation before I acted all hysterical. I'm sorry."

It didn't take me to give her a response since her boy friend already called for her. I excused myself and said Hiyono's waiting so I really have to get going. Hiyono…what a lie.

"Take care of her." are my last words to him. For the moment, he has to…

Hiyono narrating…

Take care of her? What could he be thinking? Maybe he's just worried because I'm sick. That's all. No additional thoughts … right?

I watched him walked away from us. Ayumu Narumi, I still didn't know why he really bothered to visit me last night just so he could tell all those to me? Protect me … why does he need to? Even if there's danger, Seiji is already here.

I excused myself from Seiji and said I just need to go the comfort room. In my way, I saw him again … but I didn't show myself nor let him notice I am there.

He's waiting for someone. A while ago, he had two ice creams … maybe he's on a date with the journalist girl … Hiyono as I remembered.

I walked my way to the comfort but got surprised with what awaited my entrance.

The moment I stepped inside the comfort room, a pail of cold water spilled right in my head. I just didn't feel any better.

I became surprised and screamed all at once.

I lost my balance and hit the floor.

Some people came to help me. Seiji is of course, the first one to help … but I really can't see his face … again, I hated this fever for making me weak.

Seiji's narration...

Is it really the illness making a person weak? Or could it be that keeping oneself from being weak in front of a person is the cause? Why does he have to lie to him? Is he that important to her?

Ever since I told her I am the one you'll eventually marry, she just smiled and agreed then do what she's supposed to. But now I felt like I'm keeping her from a wrong reason. In the least, I can help but I just can't let her go to him, not unless he proved himself worthy of someone like … Hiyono Yuizaki.

Are people really like that? The weakness of oneself depends on the person's ability. Ayumu knew that. He had the feeling the girl with her isn't Hiyono that's why he acted. In Seiji's case, what motive could he have? And regardless of his motive, what will a detective like Narumi himself do in order to take back what's his? Find out in the next chapters of A Wish Upon a Detective…

But before that, please let me know whether you'd like me to continue or not. Reviews are highly appreciated:)
