Author's Note: Well here's another chapter for you guys and I've been doing my best in finishing the entire story before putting new ones. I'm glad that I had a long semester break to finish my story...anyway I'm blabbing again, so on with the story!

From last time:

Shuuichi was standing looking at Botan when he saw a man on the shadow on the far corner of the room also watching her intensely. Shuuichi was sure that he was the same man that had been looking at his wife intensely during the show.

Botan was still talking to the salesman who looked like Christmas had come early so the red head slowly made his way to the far corner where the man had been standing. In his place was only a small piece of paper with a written message that made Shuuichi clench his fists in anger.

I SEE YOU!

Chapter Eighteen: On His Way

Finishing the conversation with the salesman Botan turned back to her husband to tell him that everything was settled but Shuuichi was nowhere to be found.

"Excuse me, but have you seen my husband? He has long red hair, green eyes and wears a blue polo shirt with long sleeves and black khaki pants." Botan asked the nearest person to her, an old man in his fifties.

"Yes, I did see your husband dear, he went that way." The old man said pointing to the direction where Shuuichi had went.

"Thanks Mr..." Botan blinked twice but the man had already disappeared.

She looked around her trying to find both the old man while at the same looking out for Shuuichi.

"May I help you Miss?" A deep voice coming from behind her asked.

"Sorry?" Botan abruptly turned around towards the owner of the voice.

He was uncomfortably close to her and she had the sudden urge to take a few steps back.

"I asked you if you needed any help miss." The man said again. "You don't look like you're from around here." He added when Botan didn't answer him.

"I was just looking for my husband. I can't find him anywhere." The blue haired woman again looked around and her gaze was immediately drawn to the vendor who was waving at her. "Thanks for the offer but I think I can manage." Botan added then making her way towards the seller while thinking how uneasy she felt talking with the stranger even though he meant no harm.

SHUUICHI'S PART... (Happen at the same time with Botan.)

'Damn it!' Shuuichi thought as he clutched the note in his hand. 'He's here.' The red head took out his cell phone out and dialed Detective Touya's cell phone number.

TOUYA'S APARTMENT (JAPAN, 2:00 AM)

Detective Touya was lying on his bed deep in sleep. He had gone to bed as soon as he had gotten home to charge his battery. He'd been working for the last whole weeks on Shuuichi Minamino's threat E-mails only catching few sleeps once in a while.

Then after the wedding he hadn't had a chance to sleep because of a case about a serial killer and rapist, which had Japan in alarm. Then for the past two days, he had been working on the arson case that had killed three families then today, thank God, he had only gotten a robbery case, which he had no problem in solving.

Before sleeping Touya told himself that he would follow up on Shuuichi's case after he got a shuteye. He was dreaming about being accepted in the FBI when the ringing of his cellphone suddenly waked him.

"Oh no! Not now." Touya slowly opened his eyes to see which phone is ringing while at the same time praying that it was his home phone.

Touya's home phone was only for his family and friends while anything to do with his job was strictly done through his cell phone so he would know when to get up or not also whether to answer it or not. It saved him the bother to answer the calls of his mother three times a day.

'Of course, I couldn't have been lucky enough to get a call from my family now could I?' he grunted silently flipping open the cellphone and answering in his professional voice.

PHONE CONVERSATION...

"Touya here!"

"Touya, it's me Shuuichi." The voice from the other line snapped nervously.

"Mr. Minamino, what can I do for you in 2:10 AM in the morning?" Touya asked glancing to the digital clock on his nightstand with a yawn.

"I got another one." Immediately, the blue haired detective was awake, feeling his sleep-laden brain process the information.

"Another E-mail, what does it say?" Touya asked Shuuichi eagerly while getting his notepad and pen to write down the message. Touya knew that the message was of no use because whoever had written it could very well erase the account after using it.

"Not an E-mail but a mail or rather a note this time." Shuuichi said as he looked down at the paper in his hand.

"Did you say a letter?" Touya asked again making sure that he didn't hear wrong.

"Yes a letter."

"I see, I'm on my way there to Italy and we'll talk about it when I get there. Also keep the paper somewhere safe that will not contaminate it even more. Got that?" Touya asked after the instruction he had given Shuuichi because it was very important to preserve evidence.

"Yes, I'll see you when you get here." Shuuichi said to Touya.

"Good, where are you staying?" Touya

"We can't have the conversation in the Hotel, Botan is there." Shuuichi suddenly added as he remember Botan then looking back to the seller,

Shuuichi realize that Botan was not talking to the seller anymore in fact she was nowhere to be seen.

"Shuuichi did you hear me?" Touya said more loudly to get Shuuichi's attention back from whatever had distracted him.

"Sorry, Touya, what did you say again?" Shuuichi said while still looking around for Botan.

"I said that he's getting personal now, we need to tell Botan about it now before something happens. I'll go through everything here then I'll fly over there and we'll talk. Now, go ahead and find Botan, then go home and wait for me until I arrive. Don't leave the hotel." Touya said waiting for Shuuichi to agree.

"Yes!" Shuuichi simply answered and flipped his cellphone shut while Touya did the same.

AT THE THEATER (ITALY, 11:30 PM)

Shuuichi looked at the note in his hand one last time before making his way towards the seller asking him he had an envelope that he can use. While putting the note in the envelope, Shuuichi had asked the seller where Botan had gone.

"Your wife went to look for you." The seller simply answered as he packed the music boxes that Botan had purchased.

"Did she mention why?" Shuuichi asked looking at the seller as he carefully but the small boxes to a big one for packaging.

"I guess she wanted to tell you that we will deliver the music boxes to your hotel free of charge." The seller said looking at Shuuichi then around him. "There she is!" He added pointing to where Botan was standing talking to a guy.

The seller started waving his hand to get Botan's attention and with success Botan saw the seller and made her way towards the seller not even realizing that Shuuichi was besides him.

(A/N: Everything is back to normal mode here.)

"Botan!" Shuuichi said and hugged her without warning. For a minute Shuuichi thought that something had happened to her and it scared him so much even if he had no idea why.

"Shuuichi, where have you been?" Botan asked him a little confused. "I went back to where I left you and you weren't there."

"I had a business call and I needed to take it. Sorry if I didn't tell you where I was going." Shuuichi simply said kissing her forehead.

"I was looking for you to tell you that everything is already taken care off and we can go back to the Hotel." Botan told him looking at the seller who was watching them and smiled at them.

"We're going now, it was nice doing business with you." Shuuichi said to the salesman extending his hand, which the seller took.
