A/N: Hi! Thank you Formidable Rain, Hetaliapasta90 and AliasStars for reading! I read their profiles. They're all good people (haha). Check them out sometime. I love entering my email and seeing all the emails from. I'd appreciate it if you review too. I really like constructive criticism. Heck, you can even tell me where the story sucks. I want to improve!
Enjoy!
"This is it." Len looked at the small building. Yowane and Honne Detective Agency was printed boldly above the door.
He reached for the doorknob, but Rin beat him to it. As soon as they stepped into the building, Len was overwhelmed by the stench of alcohol that filled the air. He ran back outside and gulped in breaths of fresh air.
Rin, on the other hand, was completely unaffected by the smell. "Mrs. Yowane? Mr. Honne? We're here!" she yelled.
A door opened and Haku stepped out of the room. Her silver-ish white hair was a mess and she was still in her pajamas. She blushed in embarrassment when she saw Len standing warily outside. "I'm sorry for the mess. I'll clean it up immediately."
In a few minutes, Haku had gotten rid of the smell, brushed her hair, and she put on a sleeveless gray top and long black pants.
Len hesitantly re-entered the building. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the air was not filled with alcohol.
Haku gestured for them to enter the room she had come out of. It had two desks, each filled with papers. The floor was also littered with paper. Dell sat behind one of the desks, reading a paper.
"Today, we got a few requests. Simple things, like help looking for missing things." Haku walked up to her desk and picked up a paper. "Here it is. It should be fairly simple for you two to do."
Len took the paper and read it out loud.
"Yesterday, I lost my bracelet. It's means a lot to me. My grandma gave it to me. When I left school, I had it on, but when I got home, it was gone. Please come to my house for more details. –Miku Hatsune."
Haku winked at them. "I know Miku. She's a very forgetful girl. You'll find her address on the back of the letter." She led Rin and Len to the door. "Off you go."
They arrived at Miku Hatsune's house five minutes later. Rin knocked on the door. A teal-haired girl opened the door. "Yes?"
Len showed her the letter. "We're working for Detectives Yowane and Honne." Could you tell us some more about yesterday?"
Miku opened the door all the way and invited them in. "So, yesterday I left school at the usual time. On the way home I stopped at a store. They have the cutest hair ribbons! I tried on multiple ones, and I picked out this one." Miku pointed at the black hair ribbons in her hair. "After that, I came straight home."
"Can you describe what the bracelet looks like?" Len asked.
"It's blue, no green. No, wait, its teal, like my hair!" Miku paused. "I think…"
Rin stood up. "I got it." Len was surprised. She figured it out already?
Rin walked up to Miku and ripped both of the hair ribbons out. "Hey!" Miku exclaimed.
Oh…
When Rin ripped the ribbons out, both of Miku's pigtails should have fallen down. Yet, one of them stayed tied. A turquoise bracelet was in Miku's hair. Rin tugged it out, despite Miku's protests of pain.
"Is this it?"
Miku stared at the bracelet. "Oh. I guess I accidentally slipped it into my hair when I put the ribbon on. Ha ha, sorry for wasting your time." She took the bracelet and put it around her wrist. "Well, good bye now. Thanks for helping."
Len and Rin left the house and walked back to the Detective Agency. "How'd you know that right away?" Len asked Rin.
Rin shrugged. "I didn't. It was just a hunch. If I was wrong, then it would have been at the shop. Haku was right. That was really simple. And…" Rin grinned. "she was also right about Miku being forgetful." Rin held up the two black ribbons.
"Rin!" Len exclaimed. "Don't steal from people! That's not right."
Again, Rin shrugged. "It's not like she's going to notice." Len sighed. How do you teach a psychopath right and wrong?
Haku looked up, surprised. "Wow, you guys finished even faster than I thought." She looked around. "Well, there isn't much to do right now. Oh, I know!" Haku's eyes lit up. "Why don't you get to know Dell some more?"
Rin walked over to Dell. "Hello, I'm Rin Kagamine. I'm a psychopath."
"What the heck, Rin! Why are you introducing yourself like that?"Len asked, exasperated.
Dell glared at Rin. "First of all, I did not enjoy you hitting me in the head. And I don't care if you're a psychopath." At this, he grinned. "I'm a sociopath." He looked at her, expecting her to bow to him or something.
Haku reacted like Len did. "Seriously, Dell? You had to go and say that?" She turned to Len and Rin. "It's true, Dell's a sociopath, but his case of ASPD isn't that bad. But you can hardly tell because he tries to act as sociopathic-like as possible." She rolled her eyes. "And, for some reason, he's proud of it."
Dell snickered and lit a cigar. As soon as he put it in his mouth, Rin ripped it out. "What the hell did you do that for?" Dell yelled. "I'm not in that stupid restaurant. I can smoke if I want."
"Smoking will kill you." Rin shot back, throwing the cigarette away.
"What do you know, you little witch?"
"More than you, probably."
"What did you just say?" Dell exploded.
"I called you stupid, that's what." Rin smiled, getting on Dell's nerves.
"You little—"
"OKAY, STOP, BOTH OF YOU!" Haku yelled at the top of her lungs. Len jumped. Am I the only normal one here?
"Dell! Control yourself!" Haku looked at Rin. "And you can't act like that if you want to work here."
Rin and Dell glared at her. "Shut up!" they both said.
Haku flushed bright red. "Don't tell me to shut up! You two are the ones bickering like idiots."
Dell opened his mouth to retort.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Haku glared at all of them and answered. "Hello. Yowane and Honne detective Age—"
"GET THAT GODFORSAKEN CHILD OVER HERE! SHE SHOULD DIE FOR WHAT SHE DID!" Haku cringed at the loud voice at the other end of the phone. Meanwhile, Rin and Len froze. They knew that voice.
"Excuse me. Who is this?"
"I'm Luka Megurine, the owner of the restaurant you were at yesterday. And that girl you hired is a murderer!"
A/N: Heehee, cliff hanger. I love doing that. If you want to know why Rin's a murderer, read the next chapter when I update. Fufufu~~
Anyways, thanks for reading. Please review if you have any constructive criticism.
