It's been over 2 months since, sorry for the wait!
The Kidnapping of Utatane Piko
"You're not the real Rei Kagene."
Everyone stared back and forth at Ani and Rei.
"What do you mean, Ani-kun?" Tei asked, confused, inspecting Rei carefully.
Rei laughed lightly then sighed, "I knew I should've been more careful around you."
Everyone watched as Rei removed his black hair, revealing blonde. Then he touched his amber eyes, taking them off, now having royal blue eyes.
Rin gasped, "Len!"
"What is the meaning of this?" Tei stared at Len, looking for an answer.
"And about Rei?" Miku asked.
Ani sighed, "Do I really have to explain everything?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Well, ok," Ani started, "Rei Kagene is not alive."
"What do you mean?" Teto asked.
"He had been murdered 2 years ago, but it's been top secret. I've worked on the case on finding out who was his murderer…"
"And his murderer was Rinto Kagamine," Len continued for Ani.
"Wait, Rinto, what do you mean?" Rin asked.
"Silence! Let us finish!" Ani said.
"Um, so, no one knew that Rei was dead, and I didn't want his kingdom to fall, so I decided to pretend to be him," Len finished.
"Then the whole time, Prince Rei was you?" Tei asked.
"Well, then that means you're my fiancé," Miku said.
"No way, REI was your fiancé, this is LEN, and he is MY servant!" Rin yelled at her.
"But Len was Rei so-"
"NO!"
"Now, now, everyone calm down, I know you're surprised, but," Ani smiled, "we still need to solve a mystery."
"Do you suspect it's Rinto?" Teto asked.
"But it can't be!" Rin exclaimed.
Len suddenly frowned, "You know what, you can all stay here if you don't think so, but I'm going… now!"
The blonde stood and ran out of the room.
"Wait, Len!" Rin called after him.
"He's getting himself into trouble again…"
Len sneaked around the side of the house and into the backyard. He spotted the well, and looked around. He slowly crept towards it.
'This is too easy…' he thought as he reached the well.
He looked down it and called quietly, "Piko?"
He heard shuffling, and strained his eyes to try to see the bottom.
After a few moments of silence he called again, "Piko?"
This time he heard nothing.
"Is he really in here?" Len said to himself.
"Why don't you find out?" a voice asked behind him as Len felt himself being pushed into the well.
Ani, Teto, Miku, Tei, and Rin walked in front of Rinto's house.
"Len's been missing since he's gone," Ani said, "He must've went there."
Teto rang the doorbell, and they all heard a muffled "Coming!"
The door swung open, and there stood Lenka.
"Hello, Lenka, where's Rinto?" Rin asked.
"He's um, downstairs," Lenka replied quietly.
"Downstairs? You mean in the basement?" Ani asked.
Lenka stayed silent and glanced over at a door.
Ani saw the look and her eyes. She walked over and opened it. They all looked down at a long staircase.
"Let's go," Teto said, holding her breath.
All 6 of them started walking down. As they reached the end, they saw nothing but darkness. Ani sniffed the air and smiled, "Blood…" She took out a candle in her pocket and lit it, letting the room fill with light.
They gasped as they saw both Piko and Len, their limbs bounded by rope, and strapped down. They were covered in filth, blood the walls surrounding them
"Piko… Len!" Tei, Rin, and Miku rushed towards them.
"Are you okay?"
Len groaned as he looked up, "Rin? Miku… Tei?"
Then his eyes widened, "Look out-"
They all turned and saw Rinto holding Lenka, threatening to cut her with a knife.
"Let go of her!" Ani yelled.
"You all better not mess with me," Rinto said, laughing, "But since you all saw this, I'll have to kill you!"
Ani took a step forward, "Calm down."
"Stay back!" Rinto shouted, pressing the knife closer to Lenka's throat.
"Let…"
They all looked at Len.
"Let… go… of… her... you jerk!" Len broke his bindings and ran to Rinto, tackling him, causing Lenka to fall, too.
Rinto cried out as he hit the ground. Len pinned him down and punched him as hard as he could. Rinto growled and stabbed Len in the right shoulder before falling unconscious.
Len stood up and he staggered over to Lenka and helped her up, "Are you okay?"
Lenka nodded, tears streaming down her eyes. She inspected his wound, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, no problem."
"Wow, Len," Ani said, laughing, "Looks like taking down Rinto was easier than I thought it would be."
She untied Piko from his bindings and Tei flicked his forehead. Piko awoke and looked around, "Geez guys, I'm tired."
Tei sighed, "You're so stupid."
"Well let's go then."
Ani grabbed Lenka away from Len and walked her up the stairs, everyone following.
I just wanted to let my cousin see it first before continuing, anyways hoped you like it. That was kinda anti-climatic though. I'm gonna write one short last chapter after this.
