Oh yeah, in this Chapter is Fushimi and Shizuka hiding something? A feeling they can't express? Find out more! Read on…

Chapter 6: Almost

Help me…

A young girl with short black hair and blood red eyes called. Her clothes are full of blood. And her and face is full of scars and wounds.

Somebody help me please!

Shizuka woke up, her back and face full of sweat. She put her hand into her face. She felt herself shiver. She forced herself up and took a shower. She put on her Scepter Four uniform. She looked into the mirror before she could go.

She put on her armband before she left. So no one can see her tattoo.

A tattoo with a black crescent on it.

Fushimi entered Scepter Four. His eyes searched for Shizuka, but she was not there. He sighed as he walked in.

While he was walking around, he heard something from the training hall. When he got there, he saw Shizuka training. He didn't know why he did it, but he smiled in relief.

Shizuka was practicing with a couple of dummies with her sword. She took a deep breath and slashed the dummies one by one.

When she's finished, Fushimi clapped at her performance, "Nice…"

Shizuka chuckled, "How long have you been watching me?"

"Just now actually… How long have you been here?" he asked.

"Since 6 in the morning…" she said.

"Wow… I can't get up that early." He said.

"So… anything new?" she asked.

"Nothing much… just a killer on the loose." He said.

Shizuka's eyes widened, "I… See…" but she quickly changed the subject, "Question, do you know how to do hand-to-hand-combat?"

"Well yeah, of course. Why?" Fushimi said.

"Well, I have wanted to fight somebody since this morning but I can't find an opponent. Want to?" she said.

"Sure…" Fushimi said.

Fushimi and Shizuka took off their swords and got on the battle area.

"Are you sure? Prepare to get beaten by a girl." She said.

Fushimi just chuckled in response.

Shizuka punched Fushimi but Fushimi dodged it. Shizuka clicked her tongue as she let out a punch again, but still, it didn't hit him. She let out a roundhouse kick (or in short, high-kick) at him but he blocked it.

"Why you're acting all defensive, Fushimi? Can't attack a girl?" Shizuka said as she kicks him again.

"Why? Want me to do… this?" Fushimi said as he tickled Shizuka by the waist.

"H-hey! Hahahahaha! F-Fushimi! Hahaha! That's cheating!" Shizuka laughed. Fushimi landed a punch on her arm.

"Fine then… If that's how you want to play it…" Shizuka said as he tickled Fushimi by the neck and punch him on the face.

"Gah! Hahahahaha! S-Stop! Ukui?! Hahaha!" Fushimi laughed as he tickled Shizuka again. The two continued to tickle each other. Until they fall down on top of each other (Ahem, Shizuka on top of Fushimi)

"Okay! Okay! I surrender! Hahaha!" Fushimi said.

Shizuka stopped tickling Fushimi so did he. All they notice now, that their on top of each other.

"Told ya I'd defeat you…" Shizuka said, panting.

Fushimi chuckled, "Yeah if you didn't cheat…"

"You cheated first!" She said.

"Yeah right…" he said.

The two stared at each other for such a long time. Until Fushimi removed some bangs that were covering her face and pulling them back behind her ear. While he did, he pulled her face closer to his.

Wait… should we do it? No, we can't… we're enemies! But…, Shizuka thought as her face is now inches from his.

Their faces are about to get closer… closer … closer… closer…

Then Shizuka pushed Fushimi away. (Sorry!)

Shizuka stammered, "I-I-I'm sorry… It's just that-"

Fushimi cut her off "No… It's alright. I understand. We should get out of here."

"Y-Y-You're right." Shizuka said.

The two got out of the training hall and went back to the main hall. Fushimi didn't bother to look at Shizuka, it's like something is going on his mind.

He's right. What the hell are we doing?! Or going to do? We're enemies, Period. Shizuka thought.

Then Awashima appeared right in front of them, "Ukui? Fushimi? There you are! Chief has been looking all over for you!"

"Oh, Sorry, Awashima-san. It's just that we got side-tracked that's all." Shizuka said. She turned to Fushimi, but he said nothing.

"Whatever. Just come to the Chief's office he has something to tell you." Awashima said.

Fushimi and Shizuka went straight to Munakata's room. They saw Munakata typing on his computer.

Munakata looked up and said, "Oh, there you are. I've been looking everywhere for you two."

"I- We're Sorry, Munakata-sama." Shizuka said as she bowed. She looked at Fushimi who isn't doing or saying anything.

"It's alright." Munakata said, "… since you two have successfully completed your last mission, I plan to give you another one. Any questions?"

"No. Nothing at all, Munakata-sama." Shizuka said.

Munakata looked at them, surprised, "Oh, so you don't mind? It doesn't bother you two that you have to work together?"

"Umm, no… Right Fushimi?" Shizuka said as she looked at Fushimi who gave her a nod.

"So you're saying that you two are friends now?" Munakata raised an eyebrow.

"N-No! No. But, we are going to do what you say, Munakata-sama." She said. Am I going to do all the talking here?! She thought.

Munakata took a deep breath and explained, "Fine then. You see the killer murdered 4 people from 2 different places. One is from a small house in the northeastern part of Shizume City, but Awashima and her team got that covered. Now I want you two to investigate in an old warehouse near the train station that leads to Ashkina High School. Understand?"

Shizuka clench her fists, "Yes."

"Good. You may go." Munakata said.

Fushimi and Shizuka were extremely silent while they're walking to the warehouse. Come on, say something already, she thought.

She was about to say something when Fushimi broke the silence, "Where are we going again?"

"Weren't you listening to what Chief said earlier? We are going to investigate the murder in an old warehouse near the train station." Shizuka said.

"Hm. Sure." Fushimi said.

Finally they reached the warehouse that Munakata was talking about. It was an old and abandoned warehouse. It looks like it was used before as a storage building. Shizuka took a deep breath as she got in. When they opened the doors, the smell of rotting bodies reached their noses. Shizuka held her nose as she got deeper into the warehouse. Then she saw two bodies lie lifelessly on the floor.

One was a middle aged woman with dark blond hair. Her clothes were ripped and a couple of knives were stabbed on her back. Another was a teenager with brown hair and blond highlights. Her death was more gruesome. She had a pole stuck on her stomach and it looks like she got stabbed violently in the head.

When Shizuka stared at them, her head suddenly ache again. A vision suddenly got in her head.

"Please… Please don't hurt us!" said the woman and the girl, who are still alive, shiver in a dark corner.

A woman with red eyes and wild black hair stood before them.

"What makes you say that? Don't worry… What I am going to do to you will only hurt… a lot." She laughed.

"And you're going first…" she said as she took the girl.

"No… Sora, No!" said the woman with blond hair .

The girl shivered as the woman with red eyes took her. The girl kneeled down as she looked at the woman in front of her with fear.

"Goodbye…" said the girl as the killer stabbed her in the head.

"SORA!" sad the blond.

The killer laughed maniacally as she lastly struck a pole in her stomach.

"You demon! You demon!" said the blond woman as she charged at the killer. But the killer quickly stabbed her with knives.

The killer laughed as she successfully killed her victims. Before she could go, she carved a crescent in their arms.

"I am back! I am back!" she said, "I am The Fallen Moon…"

Shizuka snapped back into reality. She was holding the blond woman's arm, with a bloody crescent on it.

See what happens if you don't let me control you, said the voice in her head.

"What have you done? What have I done?" she whispered.

"Ukui?" Fushimi said, "Are you… alright?"

Shizuka let go of the woman's arm and turned to him, "Yes. I'm fine. It seems these two are murdered vigorously and then put a strange mark on their arms."

"Fine. I shall take some pictures and send some data to the Chief." Fushimi said.

"O…kay…" Shizuka said.

"Are you seriously alright?" Fushimi asked.

"Yes I am. Let's get on with this mission so we can get out of here sooner enough. And find out who the killer is." She said firmly.

Even though she IS me, she thought.

A/N: Hey! So that's the end for Chapter 6. So yeah, I'm very sorry that when Shizuka pushed Fushimi, who I about to kiss her, disappoints you. Sorry! It's just that, it's too soon. Speaking of soon, is the about-to-kiss moment to sudden? I'm very sorry!

Oh yeah, after that last moment over there, I just want to tell you that Shizuka isn't the bad guy. Okay? K. See ya next Chapter!
