BP: Having a bit of writer's block for this story, but not going to give up. Oh yeah, I rewritten The Alice Games, PLEASE REVIEW that story! Oh, don't forget to review this story as well.

I guess we all have stuff to feel guilty about, huh? –R

"R's a terrorist, that's what he or she wants: To make us worry." Fuji said to his former lovers, now tentative friends. It was two days after the party, and although they didn't meet R, they had somewhat of a clue as to he or she is.

"I am suspecting that it's a she, I mean, this hairpin should mean something." Tezuka replied, holding up Ringo's black hairpin.

"True, but what if it's a deliberate clue to mislead us or something?" Sanada asked.

While the three of them were debating the possibilities, Atobe remained quiet. The heart (smashed to pieces, no doubt to upset him) he was sent during the party made him wonder if R could be the missing lover of theirs for more than a year. After all, no one else knew the secret box password aside from the two of them. He frowned at the possibility of Ryoma telling one of his lovers or friends before his disappearance. If that is true, one of Ryoma's friends could be the identity of R herself (judging by the black hairpin dropped by R). There is another thing to consider. Since he never checked his secret box for nearly two years, due to not having many items that he truly treasured, it is most likely stolen before Ryoma broke away from their then peaceful group of lovers.

However, then again, while Ryoma is still with them, he did invite his friends over to the mansion often. One of them could have broken into it when they visited, as Ryoma could have told them about it. Ryoma had two female friends he knew about: Pakunoda, one of the R suspects and Ringo Yoshino. While he doesn't know how good Pakunoda is at keeping secrets, the fact that she is extremely knowledgeable in non-verbal communication, as she can often tell when one person is lying makes it possible that she is good at hiding her emotions and what she is thinking really well. Ringo, however, is an airhead, and Ryoma's gossipy friend. She is unable to keep any secret for long. You can count on her to tell you anything. She is also immature for her age.

I'm everywhere, Keigo – R (sent with a photo of Atobe trying to fix the glass heart at the party)

Whoever took this picture is a good photographer, as the picture is clear and is able to capture the details he wanted him to know. The only good photographer he knew was Fuji, but that is ridiculous, Fuji can't be R! What if one of Ryoma's friends is hiding their talent? If so, who? He suspected Shalnark is part of R as well. As far as he knew, he had a genius-level intellect, and is the smartest among Ryoma's friends, and the most knowledgeable, and has great control over his emotions. He may have other talents aside from his high intelligence.

He added Shalnark's name to his notebook to a page which is labeled R. He looked at his notebook.

List of suspects who may be R

Shalnark- Genius level intellect, possible photography skill, may be extremely proficient in informatics, and good at uncovering secrets. Possible valuable source of information. Probably good at hiding secrets.

Pakunoda- Good at hiding her emotions, could be the owner of the black hairpin found at the party. Great at non-verbal communication, and is able to tell whether one person is lying or not. May be good at gleaning information. One of the two that broke Ryoma out of the mansion

Feitan- Broke Ryoma out of the mansion along with Pakunoda. Good at driving, probably the one that took them to the party. Good at Science. May have killed Ryoma.

Ringo- Probable owner of the black hairpin. However, not very good at keeping secrets.

Black Coat- a mysterious boy with brown hair and blue eyes. Guessed who R's next target was correctly once before. Real name unknown. Black Coat is the nickname given by Fuji. (Refer to Chapter 2 if you don't know Ryoma's alias)

Shalnark is most likely an accomplice, judging by the fact that he is good at uncovering secrets. It is unlikely he is R though. He likes to work behind the scenes and stuff, but not lead a secret organization. He used a pencil and scratched off Shalnark's name, in case he may be wrong, and still needed to be added to the suspect list.

"Atobe…..ATOBE!" Sanada called him.

"Oh…what?"

"We were asking you for the past five minutes who you thought R might be."

He showed them his notebook, and they read what he had written.

"Black Coat? I almost forgot about that boy." Fuji said.

"You were the one that told us about him." Tezuka pointed out.

"True."

"Do you know anything about this Black Coat?'

"Didn't really notice anything about him, aside that he is about the same height as Ryoma before his disappearance….or death, for that matter." he read the last sentence Atobe wrote about Feitan.

"I think we should find out about Black Coat before we do anything. Oh, and keep an eye on these suspects for now." Sanada said.

Meanwhile, Ryoma and his friends are also having a meeting. Everyone is gathered to plan their next move. They have to tread carefully because the lovers are starting to suspect.

"They may have most or all of us on their suspect list by now, and they may be going to keep an eye on us from now onwards. They may have found out our objective is revenge for Ryoma. After all, all of them are highly intelligent." Shalnark said. "I think we should remove our names from the suspect list. I say we send messages to OURSELVES for a change."

"Alright, but who will send to who?" Ringo asked.

"I say we target two at a time. We'll draw straws to see who we will 'target' tomorrow."

"It's best if we receive the messages when the lovers are near. That way, we can tell them we are not the suspects." Pakunoda replied.

"Act surprised or distressed." Feitan said. "We need to throw them off track for a while. One of us will still send messages to them."

"I'll do it" Shizuka volunteered. "They most likely won't suspect me, because I used to be Atobe's lover, and they probably think I don't know who R is, since I am not a founding member."

Ryoma nodded. "Alright, but one of us will send messages once in a while, so do act distressed. Go to Atobe if necessary, and see what you can get out from him. He probably still has a soft spot for you. If they suspect we're faking, we should get Shalnark can help hack into our phones to change our text messages, to prove we have been targeted for as long as they did. Shalnark, get to work." Ryoma motioned for them to hand Shalnark their phones.

By the time they received it back, the messages in their Inbox suggested they have been target by R as well.

"We should start by sending them one last message before we 'target ourselves'." Shalnark said, as he returned their phones. "After all, they probably still suspect Feitan is Ryoma's killer, judging by one of our messages." (Read Chapter 4)

Hey boys, I have one more surprise for you. Feitan isn't Ryoma's killer. – R

A hand, holding a pencil, was poised over a certain notebook.

The pencil scratched Feitan's name off the suspect list.

BP: Short and bad, because I had writer's block and had only 10 minutes. Do review, though.
