Rin and Hanayo we're the first ones out. Rin let go of Hanayo's hand, as she did Hanayo instantly dropped to the ground as she tried to catch her breath.

"Oh, I guess the others aren't back yet, nya" Rin said looking around. "Maybe they need help, come one Kayo-chin let's go!" Rin said grabbing her.

"W-wait Rin-chan...Let me catch my breath first..." Hanayo said panting as she held onto Rin's arm. Just then Umi and an unconscious Honoka came out of the right passageway way.

"Umi-chan! Are you okay!?" Hanayo said as her energy suddenly returned.

"Yes...But Honoka...She pushed herself past her limit," Umi said putting Honoka down in front of her.

"Kayo-chin can you do anything!?" Rin said looking at Hanayo who nodded her head.

"I can probably heal her wounds, but it won't recover her power," Hanayo said as she placed her hands above Honoka's chest. Umi watched in amazement as Hanayo's hands glowed green, while Honoka's wounds healed. Honoka began to stir a little, before opening her eyes a little.

"Honoka!" Umi said as she looked over at her.

"Did we do it?" Honoka asked a little wearily.

"Not exactly," Umi said looking away a little. How do I explain what happened to her? Hanayo looked at Umi.

"How are you feeling?" Hanayo asked Honoka deciding to change the subject.

"Really good actually...Just...I'm really hungry," Honoka said laughing a little, she then sat up. "Where's Kotori-chan and Eli-chan?"

"They're not back yet..." Rin said.

"Do you think that they're okay?" Umi asked concerned. As Honoka was about to say something they heard two voices from the direction of where Kotori and Eli went. Only it wasn't their voices.

"It's your fault for dragging me into this mess in the first place!" A voice said.

"What!? You offered to help me!" Another voice said. Then Kotori and Eli came out, as both of them collapsed on to the ground, the others realized how badly their injuries were. Kotori's shoulders were bleeding and she was beginning to pant heavily. While Eli's right leg and left arm were gone, blood was spilling out of them and her right eye seemed to have been cut by a knife and was also bleeding. Hanayo ran over to where they were and put both of her hands on either side of them. As she began to heal them, she looked up and saw two girls looking down at her. One of them had red hair and sharp purple eyes. While the girl next to her who was much shorter than the red haired girl had long black hair and pinkish red eyes. They were both handcuffed.

"There's six more of them!?" The girl with black hair said.

"So much for escaping then..." The red haired girl said quietly while looking away. Honoka and the others suddenly went up to Hanayo and looked at the two girls. As they did they all saw two leopards emerge from behind either side of the two girls. Umi looked down at Kotori and Eli.

Are these two the ones responsible for doing this to them? She saw Kotori's wounds on her shoulders heal and saw her panting less. Eli's limbs had returned and her eye also was healed. That is some healing power, she thought before she looked back at the two girls. Kotori and Eli began to return back to normal as their wounds were healed. They both looked at themselves amazed.

"Hanayo-chan you're amazing!" Kotori then said. Hanayo looked at them and smiled.

"It was nothing really I'm just glad you two are okay! However you're going to feel really sore tomorrow, I'm sorry about that," Hanayo said, then looked back at the mysterious girls.

"Ah right! I guess I should introduce you to these two," Eli said looking between the intense faces of both sides. "Would you rather introduce yourselves? Or no?" El said looking at them. Nico and Maki looked at each other before turning back to them.

"I guess there's no way out of this one, I'm Nico Yazawa," Nico said looking at the six girls.

"And I'm Maki Nishikino," Maki said. The six girls looked at each other frowning.

"Nishikino? As in THE Nishikino family?" Umi asked.

"Yeah that's the one," Maki said simply.

"Isn't your family like, super rich?" Honoka asked curiously.

"Yeah," she answered.

"Then why would you work for Omar if you already have money?" Eli asked.

"Because this idiot asked me too," Maki said looking at Nico.

"Then what's your side of the story?" Hanayo asked Nico. Nico's eyes widened, but she looked away.

"There's nothing to talk about me," Nico answered.

"Is that so? I think you're lying, nya" Rin said holding a file in front of her, which had her name on it.

"What the? Where the hell did you get that from?" Nico asked.

"You have three younger siblings, don't you?" Rin asked reading the file.

"Y-yeah," she said quietly.

"Is that the reason then?" Eli asked softly, this time Nico didn't say anything, instead Maki nodded her head.

"I see," Eli said walking over to Nico, "how about you join us?" She said holding out her hand towards Nico. She looked back at Eli confused.

"What do you mean? I won't have to be arrested?" Nico asked.

"Not exactly you'll still be under custody, but you'll be working under Kotori and the others until you pay off your debts," Eli said.

"Wait a minute! I don't need to be arrested technically," Maki said.

"What do you mean?" Kotori asked.

"I never killed or stole at all," Maki answered.

"Way to throw me under the bus," Nico growled.

"Every man for themselves," Maki shrugged. Kotori looked back at Nico.

"Well what do you think? Will you join us?" Kotori asked. Nico looked over at Maki, as Maki finally gave in.

"Fine Fine, I'll go with you for whatever you decide on," she said looking away.

"T-then... I guess I'll join you..." She began to reach out for Eli's hand with both of her cuffed hands, but hesitated a little.

"Geez, just take her hand already my hands are starting to hurt now," Maki said but then she softly smiled at Nico. Nico nodded her head and grabbed Eli's hand. The others sighed in relief, Kotori walked over and uncuffed their hands.

"Hi, I'm Kotori Minami, a police officer," Kotori introduced herself.

"I'm Honoka Kosaka!" Honoka said raising her hand. "And I help out with Kotori-chan! This is Umi Sonoda," Honoka said pointing at Umi.

"I'm Rin Hoshizora! And this is Hanayo Koizumi, nya!" Rin said. "We're detectives!"

"And I'm Eli Ayase," Eli said, but Maki and Nico suddenly looked at each other frowning a bit.

"Ayase?" They both said looking at her.

"Yeah, why?" Eli asked confused as she noticed their faces.

"I-It's nothing..." Maki said. Eli let it go with that as she and the others began walking out of the castle.

~In the meantime~

"Ha, you really saved me back there you know?" Omar said as he was twirling a glass of wine he was in a dimly lit room and was sitting on a red couch. Across from him was a girl with purple hair, tied off into two low scrunchies. She had turquoise green eyes.

"You make it sound like it was a big deal," the girl said casually.

"Well I have another job for you, I need you to take out this person," he slid a photo on the table in front of him as the girl picked the picture up. It was a girl with long grayish hair and yellowish orange eyes. "She's been giving us a lot of problems with our organization, so you need to take her out," Omar said as the girl looked at the picture.

"She doesn't seem like that much of a threat," she said.

"Well neither do you, so can you do it, Toujou-san?" He said snickering. She looked up with cold eyes and smirked.

"Of course,"
