Chapter IX

-221B Baker Street (Sherlock's Room)-

Sakura slowly opened her eyes; her vision was a blur for the first few moments, but after she blinked a few times her vision became clear. Startled, she quickly sat herself up, but soon regretted it when she felt a sudden pain in her stomach. She soon realized that there wasn't that much pain as before, and that she was in comfortable nightwear, instead of her torn clothing. She lifted her shirt slightly, only to find herself covered in bandages instead of blood. She looked around the room she was in.

She saw all of these books on the shelves and some on the floor from the human body, to textbooks of physics and chemistry. She turned and saw a little orange-yellow bear with wings sitting where the lamp stood.

"灯油 (Kero)?"

She took the little bear and held it in front of her. She knew what this little plush was. It was a gift from her father on her 2nd birthday; he made it just for her. She had thought she had lost it forever. She held the little doll close to her chest, remembering how happy she was when she got Kero. Than she heard the sound of thumping within the room. She turned to see Kaze and Mizu were happy to see her awake and well.

"風! 水の (Kaze! Mizu)!"

Mizu jumped on the bed and lay down beside her. She got close to her and began to lick her face, causing her master to giggle; Kaze did the same thing. Sakura noticed that there was something covering her besides blankets. She looked down and saw that it was a trench coat now covering half of her body. She looked at it with curiosity in her eyes; than she remembered before she passed out (For God knows how long) she saw that two men had found her in the old cart. One of them was comforting her, telling her that everything was going to be all right.

She was snapped out of thought when she heard the sound of a violin. The sound was so beautiful it made her feel relaxed. She remembered how her mother used to play the violin to put her to sleep. Curious to who was making those sounds, she literally jumped out of bed but quickly lost her balance. She slowly picked herself back up but lost balance and fell back down again. The third time she got up she almost fell back down, but Kaze ran to her side and supported her.

"おかげで風 (Thanks Kaze)."

They both moved forward and exited the room.

-At that Moment-

John entered the flat, only to find Sherlock playing his violin yet again. Of course he knew that whenever he played his instruments it means he was thinking. But what exactly? "What are you doing?" John asked, "Thinking." He replied.

J.W: "I can see that. What are you thinking about?"

S.H: "Shadow's phone."

J.W: "Why?"

S.H: "Its password protected similar to what Irene had on her camera phone."

J.W: "Are you serious?"

S.H: "Pretty much. I already tried to unlock it, however it wasn't the right password."

J.W: "How many attempts this time?"

S.H: "Six attempts, now we only have five."

J.W: "What happens when you don't get the password."

S.H: "Whatever's on his phone it the memory chip will be wiped clean."

J.W: "You think he has something important on his phone?"

S.H: "Something he doesn't want us to find I can tell you that."

J.W: "Oh God."

S.H: "Did you manage to find any other relative of hers?"

J.W: "I did actually."

John placed his stuff down and got out an envelope, and handed it to Sherlock. "Where did you find this?" he asked, "It was in the hospital where I worked." John said, "A few of her relatives lived here in England, a few years back." Sherlock opened the envelope to see not one but five different hospital records. "I managed to sneak it out when my shift was over." John said, "Always good to have you." Sherlock said with a smile. Sherlock looked through each file. As he did he marked every death in a notebook.

Sherlock was shocked to see that one of this people weren't related and yet died anyway. Not only did they target members of the family, but Godparents as well. Looking at the last file he went from being shocked to being curious.

Name: Unknown Victim 10 (Male) Unknown Relative

Age: Unknown

Burned alive

"Why doesn't this file have a name?" he asked, "What do you mean?" John asked. Sherlock gave the file to John and the doctor read the record. "I-I don't understand." The doctor stammered, "There is supposed to be a name in here." "Apparently there isn't." Sherlock said. All of sudden they heard something break. Sherlock looked up to see the little girl standing over a broken a vase. She took notice of Sherlock and John standing there, and hid herself behind the entrance towards Sherlock's room. "申し訳ありませんが、私はそれを破るつもりはなかったよ (I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break it)!" she said.

John gave a quizzical expression not knowing what she was saying. Sherlock of course not knowing what she said. "いいえ、それは問題ありません。我々は常に新しいものを得ることができます (No, that's fine. We can always get a new one)." Sherlock said to her. Sakura looked at Sherlock surprised to see that he spoke her language. Sherlock walked over to where she stood and picked up the broken pieces off of the floor.

S.K: "本当ですか (Really)?"

S.H: "うん。あなたは大丈夫ですか？ あなたは傷ついている (Yeah. Are you okay? Are you hurt)?"

S.K: "いいえ、大丈夫だよ (No, I'm fine)."

S.H: "あなたはどう思いますか (How do you feel)?"

S.K: "少しめまいが (A little dizzy)."

S.H: "私にあなたの手を差し伸べる (Give me your hand)."

Sakura looked at Sherlock's hand, unsure of what to do. She at first hesitated, than after a few moments she took Sherlock's hand. He led her to the sofa and helped her to the to sit down; Kaze joined her on the sofa. Sherlock turned to John who had a surprised look on his face. "What?" He whispered, "Since when did you learn to speak Japanese!?" the doctor said aloud, "I know you spoke German and French, but Japanese!?" "I took it in high school." He whispered.

J.W: "Why are you whispering?"

S.H: "I'm trying to test something. Now be quiet."

Sherlock sat down next to Sakura on the sofa and began to ask her questions.

S.H: "私はあなたにいくつか質問をしたらいいですか (Do you mind if I ask you a few questions)?"

S.K: "うーん...確かに (Ummm... Sure)

S.H: "あなたの日本からは正しいですか (Your from Japan, correct)?"

S.K: "はい (Yes)."

S.H: "あなた英語を話すことができますか (Can you speak English)?"

S.K: "サーはありません (No sir)."

S.H: "あなたが英語を理解するけど、私は右だ (But you can understand English am I right)?"

S.K: "はい、私はそれを理解する (Yes, I understand it.)

S.H: "So you can understand me now?"

S.K: "はい (Yes).

S.H: "Do you know who my friend is?"

S.K: "彼は右、医者ですか (He's a doctor, right)?

J.W: "What did she say?"

S.H: "She guessed that you are doctor."

J.W: "Are you serious?"

S.H: "How did you know?"

S.K: "私はどこを見れば知っていました (I knew where to look).

S.H: "Oh yes you did. Can you tell who I am?"

S.K: "いいえ. 私は知りません (No, I don't know).

S.H: "That's because I'm like you."

S.K: "あなたがですか (You are)?"

Sherlock turned away from her for a second and gave himself a smile. To think that someone other than Moriarty and Irene was just like him. He still couldn't believe that it was a child. A mere child! "Yes I am." He told her, "あなたの名前は何ですか (What is your name)？" The child asked.

S.H: "My name is Sherlock Holmes, and I'm a consulting detective."

S.K: "Sher...lock. Right?"

S.H: "Good. You're starting to get the idea."
