Kai sighed and glared at Lorelai, why do girls talk so much? She's been ranting non-stop for the past half hour. Does she seriously think I'm listening?

Lorelai continued to attempt to lecture Kai and Kai continued to ignore her.

There's gotta be some way to get her to shut up…

Kai contemplated this as Lorelai continued talking. Suddenly Kai, being the genius he is, kissed Lorelai. Needless to say, this did manage to shut Lorelai up for a good two minutes before she realized what had happened and proceeded to punch Kai as hard as she could on his still-injured arm. Kai grit his teeth and bit back a yelp of pain.

"What the heck were you thinking Yagami?"

Kai took a deep breath before responding, "I was thinking that you needed to shut up and that was the only way I could think of without causing you bodily harm."

"You have a girlfriend!"

"It's not like I meant anything by it! I was just trying to get you to stop talking for two seconds!"

"Ugh! I can't believe you!"

Lorelai abruptly got up and started walking towards the door.

"You know, I don't think you quite realize the concept that we are handcuffed together so wherever you go, I go too!"

Lorelai glared at him, "are you implying that I'm stupid?"

"No, I'm just saying that I would think you would've figured that out by now."

Lorelai rolled her eyes and proceeded to walk through the building—with Kai trailing behind her—to the investigation room.

"Any luck on…well…anything?"

Lorelai asked as she sat down with Kai sitting next to her.

"We can't find any evidence against Yori or Kai…in fact—everything we've found points to Yori's innocence," Matsuda stated rifling through pages upon pages of information.

Lorelai sighed, "seems like every time we think we find something it just leads us back to square one…"

Kai rolled his eyes, "I told you she had nothing to do with it."

I don't understand this, there's no way they're not finding anything on her! She couldn't have been this prepared, couldn't have known that she would be caught, she's not that smart! Kai thought, glancing at the pile of information Matsuda was holding.

Matsuda turned to L, "Ryuzaki…we really should let her go…keeping her in custody isn't helping anything."

L turned and stared at Matsuda.

"I think he's right Ryuzaki. She's been here for nearly two weeks, I'm sure her parents are worried about her," Soichiro stated walking over to the detective.

"I wouldn't worry too much about her parents, I called them and told them she was with me, it didn't surprise them in the least honestly…" Kai said nonchalantly.

Lorelai raised an eyebrow, "then I'm certain they're extremely worried about her…"

Kai glared at her.

"Either way, we can't keep her here any longer, she needs to go home."

"I agree with Yagami-san, dad, we can keep her under surveillance but…she really can't stay here any longer."

L turned back to the computer, "perhaps you're right…we will release her but she will remain under surveillance. Mello, Matt; I need the two of you to place cameras in her house."

Mello and Matt nodded and left.
