Shadow: Welcome back.

Haruko: It's official. I hate the police…

Shadow: Haruko, Amu and the others were just cosplaying as one so it would fit the scenery.

Haruko: But the dim lights and stuff?

Shadow: Scenery. You don't have to make such a big deal about it.

Haruko: Oh yes I can. I hate the guardians. Invading my personal space… -sulks-

Chouko: Meh… I'm sleepy. –yawns-

Amu: What are you doing here?

Chouko: Because I can.

Shadow: That doesn't make se- Haruko!

Haruko: … -lowers medieval flail-


"-And that's what happened…okay?" I blushed. The interrogating scene disappeared and everything was back to normal. We all sat on my bed in a circle.

"Ah. So if you two did do that, does that mean you guys are going out?" Rima asked. I turned away.

"No." I mumbled. Yaya, still in her detective uniform, tapped her chin.

"Hm? Oh really. Are you sure you're telling the truth? Because if Kukai's story is different from yours, you're in big trouble." She wagged a finger at me. "Isn't that right detective Nagi?"

"Hai." Nagihiko stated as he, Tadase, and Kukai walked through the door. "Kukai's story seems a bit similar to Haruko's, so she's cleared Yaya-cha-"

"Detective!" Yaya corrected.

"..right…Detective Yaya-chan." He sweatdropped. Kukai scratched the top of his head and gave out a nervous laugh. I gave a jumpy squeak before hiding behind Amu.

Kukai looked at me and gave a small smirk. I suddenly felt pressure on my back. "Yo Haru-chan." He said as he hugged me. I made another noise before struggling.

"A-ah! Kukai! Let go of me!" I yelled.

"Nah. I don't think I will." He smiled. I looked at the guardians for help, but they were just staring at the issue.

"You guys officially su- wahh!!!" I yelled as Kukai and I fell off the bed. "I-itai…" I rubbed my head. I glared at the guardians before grabbing a pillow and randomly throwing it at someone.

"Ouch!" Tadase groaned and rubbed his head.

"Tadase-kun! Are you alright?!" Amu worriedly asked.

"A-ah…un…I think so…" he gave her a charming smile, making her blush.

"Love's starting to grow greatly between those two." I snickered. They both blushed and turned away.

"What about us Haruko?" Kukai wondered. Now it was my turn to turn pink.

"Wha-what are you talking about…?" everyone started giving me evil smirks. I nervously sweatdropped.


"Gah! What is this?!?!?! Torment Haruko Day!???!?" I yelled as I was being suffocated at the bottom of a dog pile. Everyone triumphantly sat on top of me.

"We'll get off of you as soon as you accept that you like Kukai!" Amu said.

"I knew pink was the ultimate color of evil!" I yelled as I tried getting out. I sighed. "Okay, okay, I…like Kukai…" I banged my head on the floor in defeat.

Everyone got off me with a smile. "We knew it!" they chorused. I groaned, not wanting to get up.

"You guys…I think you crushed my ribs or something…" I moaned Kukai gave a small chuckle before kneeling down in front of me.

"Hey. You know we didn't do that. Now get up." He said and poked me at the top of my head.

"No…" I mumbled and rolled to my side. Kukai gave a little pout before smirking.

"Fine…if that's how you want it…" I blinked when he lifted me up. He threw me onto the bed and hovered over me. "I guess I have to kiss you to make your bruise feel better, neh?" he whispered as he neared my face.

The guardians were staring at us with a small blush in their cheeks, amazed at Kukai's move.

I gave a small blush before sitting up. "I'm okay!" I said as I quickly moved away from him. "Now, that was fun and all, but you guys have to leave. It's very late." I pushed them out of my room.

"But it's only 3 in the after-"

"Bye!" I said as I pushed them outside.

I sighed in relief. "I'm beat…" I mumbled and walked back to my room. I lied on my bed and closed my eyes. "I swear…Kukai's becoming more of a perv nowadays…"

3…2…1

My eyes shot open and I ran to my closet. I finally remembered that I had locked Ikuto in there for 4 whole hours! "Ikuto! Sorry I locked you in-" I stopped when I didn't even see the cat boy in the closet.

I turned around and noticed the violin case was now gone too. "Where did he go…?" I wondered as I looked around the house. I shook my head when I couldn't find him. "He probably left while I was pushing everyone out the door. But that quickly?"

I sighed.


"Nya! Wake up!" a small person said and then I felt fur hit my cheek. My eyes slowly opened. Yoru was in front of me with his arms crossed. "What were you doing sleeping outside, nya?"

"Hm? Nani…?" I wondered as I sat up straight. I realized that I was sitting on the balcony's floor and music was blasting through my eardrums. "Ah. I think I fell asleep when I was watching the sun set." I yawned. Then I remembered who was here. "Yoru?! Where were you when Ikuto came? Where did you go?! Where's Ikuto?!?"

"Calm down! Calm down, nya!" he yelled. "I don't know what do you mean by me, I was with Ikuto the whole time!" he scratched the top of his head. "But for some reason I don't remember where were we or what we did…it's weird, nya…"

"Where's Ikuto right now?" Yoru pointed inside my room. I turned around and saw Ikuto sleeping on the floor. I walked toward him.

"Ikuto…you awake?" I asked. He rolled to me.

"Hm?" he weakly sat up, but ended falling in my lap. I turned pink.

"Okay. If this was some way to make you be able to do perverted stuff to me, I'm kicking you out."

"I'm tired and sick." He mumbled.

"From what?" Silence. "Ikuto…" I shook him.

"I don't know."

"How can you not know?!" he winced and put a hand over my mouth.

"Not so loud…" he got up and rubbed his ear. I looked down apologetically. "Besides, I don't even recall what I do now. It's all a blur."

"Do you know anything about your violin? Because it suddenly changed to purple and it shocked me." I said. His eyes widened.

"Yoru! Where's the violin?"

"Over here! Nya!" the chara tried pushing the heavy case towards us. Ikuto reached forward and grabbed it. He flipped open the lid and we all saw the purple violin.

"Why is it purple…?" Ikuto wondered as he picked it up. It didn't shock him.

"That's not fair! Why aren't you getting hurt by it?" I pouted. Ikuto didn't answer, but now his eyes lost their shade of amethyst and went blank. I looked at him.

"…Ikuto…?"


Shadow: -sigh- Sorry that I'm not updating much. I usually update after 3 or 4 days after publishing, but I've gotten a lot slower now.

Rima: Does that mean you'll be taking a break from all of us?

Shadow: I would say yes, but then I wouldn't have anything to do on the computer then. –sweatdrops- But I'll try being faster.

Nagihiko: There's always your homework.

Shadow: No…I still have one more week of vacation. Gah… I hate vacation homework over the weekends.

Haruko: Doesn't really make sense but you are right in a way.

Shadow: Exactly. –sighs- I may need to improve on my writing. I thinks it's being suckish lately…so I'll see you next time!

Everyone: See ya!

Shadow: -sweatdrops- That's what I just said. -_-
