Chapter 14 : The fire

...

"SHIHOOOOOOOOO!"

.

.

.

.

.

.

Smoke. Soot. Fire. Everything is burning down. As the elegant bamboo inn is shattering in pieces, merely hundreds of people are in their extreme panic states. Cries and screams can be heard all around. People are struggling hopelessly to survive.

However, he just can't survive alone.

"SHIHO!"

The man runs toward the end of the hallway trying his hardest to find the only girl in his heart. Kaito rushes his head through the aggressive flames. He couldn't find her.

"SHIHO!"

He wishes he hadn't left her alone.

Just an hour earlier, an hour, the couple had finished their wonderful dinner by the hot spring, before they parted to two different rooms. They didn't decide to stay together because they hadn't agreed to go steady, and he wanted to treasure her as a gentleman.

Yet he somehow regrets it then.

"SHIHO!"

This ain't gonna work. The fire is too strong.

Where else should she be? Can she get out of her own? He doesn't think so. He already went out to check twice.

The fire bursts mercilessly.

"God.. DAMN IT!"

The phantom thief fists his grips. His spectacular magic is totally useless in the situation.

What to do?

What to do?

What to do?

...

...

Suddenly, he sees a fireman.

"SIR! Please help! I'm finding my girlfriend!"

Kaito cries as he runs after the figure through the burning corridor. However, in the moment of despair, the man in helmet doesn't stop at the call. Kaito tries to catch the figure yet the smoke is growing enormously to the cellar. He barely sees his face.

...

...

" ! Can you here me?"

The man keeps running.

...

...

"WAIT! STOP!"

The man doesn't seem to hear him.

...

...

"Sir, PLEASE! SHE IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!"

Finally, the fireman stops his feet. He seems like he heard him this time.

...

...

The fire burns around.

...

...

...

Desperately, Kaito pleads the authority with his eyes.

"Please, sir. I beg you. She is the only one for me."

...

...

...

Looking back. The stranger decidedly opens his mouth.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not a firefighter. I just borrow this helmet, and I'm not here to rescue any other one," he paused, "I'm only here to find my only girl, too."

"Eh?"

He turns around.

And there he stuns.

...

...

...

"... you are finding your girlfriend?"

"Yes. Have you seen her? A girl with strawberry blonde?"

"..no."

...

...

...

Quietly. Both men look indistinctly at each other.

There is fume between their faces.

...

...

...

Kaito blinks his eyes again, trying to see the man once more. Still, the smoke is too heavy.

He chokes so severe.

...

...

...

"You don't have a helmet.. You shouldn't be here any longer. Go out and wait. I will find her for you."

"What.."

"Just go! Hurry! There is no one else on this floor. If your girl is really here, she must be up there!" The helmet man shouts as he turns around, heading to the fallen stair. He has checked every single room on the first floor yet found nobody. The only floor above is their hope.

"B- But.. SHE IS MY GIRL! I can't fail to protect her!" Kaito shouts back. That is not right. How could he possibly let another guy save his only girlfriend for him. No. He can't do that. He tries to run after the man. "W-Wait! You-"

Suddenly, he got punched.

...

...

...

"Argh! HEY..!" What?

The man in helmet punched him?

"What the-!"

"Stop that crap, will you? How can you save a girl if you can't even save yourself?" Panting. The man grits his teeth with anger.

"Wh-"

"Just go and wait outside, you, DAMN IT!"

The man shouts once more as Kaito's face is full of confusion. He wants to follow the man yet it seems like his body won't be able endure any more minute. His strong legs start to shake uncontrollably. He has been in this smoke for too long.

The man in helmet sees that.

"Go out, you stupid."

He slowly returns to the burning site.

...

...

"You have to stay alive," he whispered.

...

...

...

...

And so he disappears into the brutal flames.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"SHIHO!"

Crying. Nearly an hour has passed, finally, the man in the helmet runs out off the crushing building. Sitting in the nurse camp, despite being so tired and injured himself, Kaito then jumps toward the man as soon as he sees him escaping safely. And, the greatest thing is that, there is a girl in his arm. A girl with strawberry blonde.

"SHIHO!"

The phantom thief approaches his girlfriend. He quickly takes her from the stranger's arm and examines her worriedly. Hearing her heartbeat, his heart stumps in joy. He feels like he has never been so glad. His manly eyes are almost filled with tears.

"Shiho.. Thank goodness..." He couldn't say anything anymore.

And so he remembers the man.

...

...

...

...

"Ah.. Mister.. Thank you so much..." Kaito finally turns to the helman man who has rescued the girl's life. However, before he ever get a chance to express his gratitude, the stranger then turns away and walks straightforwardly out of the field.

Kaito doubltly frowns.

He calls after the man.

...

...

...

"Arrr.. Sir.. Mister.. Mister!"

"It's okay. Just take care of her. I'm going now.." said the helmet man.

"W- Wait! What about you and your girl?!" Kaito bursts the question as he suddenly recalls that the man was seeking for his important girl, too, yet here he is standing alone.

...

...

...

...

...

...

The man pauses his walk.

"She is alright now."

Briefly answered.

And so he walks away down the street of gloom.

...

...

...

...

...

...

"You have to stay alive.. huh?"

Finally, amidst the utmost silence, he chuckles to himself.

...

...

...

...

...

"Yes.. you have to stay alive.."

He whispers.

...

...

...

...

"It has to be you who she wants to see when she wakes up."

4:08 AM

Sleeping. The beautiful princess is sleeping peacefully in room 516, Takeda Hospital, Kyoto.

Miyano Shiho is not conscious yet. Even though several hours have passed since the cruel incident, the strawberry blonde still hasn't opened her eyes once. She had passed out in the firing hotel while she was searching for an exit aimlessly. At the moment, she thought her life had already reached its end. Still, here she is lying comfortably on the white bed.

Although she isn't conscious physically, her mind is somehow active in the dream.

...

...

...

Haibara!

...

...

That voice..

...

...

...

Haibara!

Who is calling her..?

...

...

Distantly, In the faraway dream, she suddenly recalls a warm embrace.

Someone is hugging her lovingly.

Did he come to help her?

...

...

Haibara!

Who is that guy?

...

...

...

...

Haibara!

That name again. Could it be Shinichi..?

...

...

...

Haibara!

Why is he crying?

...

...

...

...

SHIHO!

...

...

...

"Hah..!"

Suddenly, the girl wakes up.

"Shiho!" Gladly, seeing that she finally opens her eyes, Kaito just couldn't do anything but hug her with so much love and care. In the quiet hospital room, Kaito holds Shiho tight to his chest.

"Kaito-kun..." Confused. The strawberry blonde listens to his heartbeat. "D-Did you bring me here? Have you been here all this time..?" She reluctantly asks him.

The phantom thief lets her go.

"Yes, my love. I'm here with you, always.. Are you alright? Is anywhere hurt?" Kaito looks worriedly into her cerulean eyes as his hands grips her shoulders.

"Oh.. No.. I'm just.." Is he the one who save me? What was that dream? How could I..

...

...

...

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just thought that.." there was someone else..

The man observes her lonely face.

...

...

...

...

"You should rest a little more. We will talk later... Ah! Jodie-san called a moment ago, also your colleagues... They were all so worried about you. You should call them back in the morning.." Luckily, her cellphone is surprisingly safe with her.

"My colleagues?"

"Yeah.. Yuka-san, Daichi-san, Minami-san.. They saw it from the news."

Kaito hands her the filthy cellphone.

...

...

...

She takes it back.

"Ah.. Thank you, Kaito-kun. Could you please give me a moment..? I'm gonna call my father.."

"Hmm? Sure. I will go to the minimart then.. You want something?"

"No, thank you."

Precisely replies. She gives him a small smile before he shuts the door.

...

...

...

...

Shiho looks blankly at her cellphone.

...

...

...

...

"So, at the end, you didn't come to save me again, huh?"

A crystal tear drops on the screen.

...

...

...

...

...

"At the end, it was just a dream..."

...

...

And the night has passed, with the cry of the lonely princess, and the worry of the man behind the closed-door.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Two months flew like a little bird.

It's finally Christmas.

Yes. The joy-to-the-world season. Every place in the heart of Tokyo is now decorated with extravagant lights. Ribbons, jingle bells and stunning Christmas trees can be found everywhere. Everyone is so delighted. It's definitely one of the most happiest time of the year in Japan like other countries.

However, Japanese do not celebrate Chirstmas with their families. It's only the time for lovers.

Tonight, December 24th, in the middle of Ginza, the most stunning shopping district in Tokyo, a messy-haired man is waiting for his girlfriend in front of a giant Christmas tree.

Well, not really girlfriend. He still hasn't officially asked her to go steady yet. But this night will be his perfect chance. There is a big rose bouquet in his hands. A huge and a wonderful one. He promises to make it their memorable night.

Then, exactly at 8 PM, she arrives.

"Hello, Kaito-kun! Sorry I'm a little late. Some errands happened.." Huffing and puffing. A very beautiful girl calls him from the middle of the crowd. Even though there are lots of people here on the celebration night, she still surprisingly stands out from everyone in the plaza. Her lily-white dress blows playfully with the wind. Her cerulean eyes are brighter than any light in the town.

"Hey! No worry. I'm just here, too." Kaito smiles at Shiho warmly. They have dated for almost 3 months now, and he still can never get bored with her.

"Ahh.. I see.." Smiling. Shiho smiles back at the handsome man.

And he gives her the most charming bouquet she has ever seen.

"Here. For you, milady. Well, may you come with me this magical night?" The phantom thief playfully mimics a royal servant.

Shiho laughs at his funny gesture.

"Well, if only there is a five-star dinner.."

And then the couple walk together happily to the grand restaurant.

.

.

.

.

.

Perfect. Everything is just perfect.

The dinner has gone very smoothly. The delicious meals. The marvelous music. The sweet atmosphere. The enjoyable conversation. It seems like nothing could have gone wrong tonight. Everything went according to the phantom thief's plan. God must be on his side now.

Sure thing. He will certainly have her heart for sure.

"Shiho, shall we go for a walk?" After the dinner of dream, Kaito then asks the girl to go to a park. It's a little wonderful park near the plaza where they've had their dinner, where many couples are hanging out lovingly, hands in hands. One of the most romantic spot indeed. This is the place Kaito had prepared to confess his love tonight. It's the place he wants to be in their anniversary.

"Alright," replied the strawberry blonde. She walks by the man's side along the Sakura trees. Quietly enjoy her time.

...

...

...

"So.. how is tonight?" Nervously, the man starts the conversation. He glances at her peaceful face from the corners of his eyes.

"Hmm? Good. I mean, great. It's a very wonderful night for me. Thank you, Kaito-kun," she smiles at him slightly. She looks sincerely happy now, even though she had been somehow sad over the past few months.

She has never talked about the incident ever.

...

...

...

"Really? Haha. I'm happy to know that.." Kaito laughs a little and grins broadly at her. "Say, Shiho, tell me. Is it a great because of the activities, or," he pauses, "is it great because I'm being here with you?"

...

...

...

...

Eh?

...

...

...

...

"Haha! Gotcha!" Seeing blushes keep growing on her face, Kaito decides to cut the question by himself. As Shiho is now blushing many shades of roses, he thinks he already knows the answer. No need to embarrass her further. He thinks. This tsundere girl is cute enough already.

Shiho, on the other hand, just can't seem to hide her flush. There were many times he had said such sweet things to her yet she still couldn't get use to them. It felt strange every single time she heard it. And this time is not an exception.

Maybe she gets to like him?

Well, she isn't so sure herself.

...

...

...

...

...

Finally, the couple arrive the center of the park.

It's a giant mistletoe.

...

...

...

...

10:23 PM, not so many people are hanging there.

...

...

...

"Shiho," quietly, Kaito turns to the girl beside him.

...

...

...

...

"I want you to have this," suddenly, he puts at little box before him.

A velvet box.

...

...

...

"Kaito-kun, you gave me lots of gift already..." Refuse. Shiho hands the box back to the man. It looks very expensive, maybe too expensive for just a date like her. She can't accept that.

"But not this. Please take it," the man insists. He pushes the box into her little palm.

She gazes at him uncomfortably, reluctantly opens it then.

...

...

...

There lies an exquisite jewelry.

A heart-shaped necklace.

...

...

...

...

"Do you like it..?" Kaito carefully examines at the girl's expression before pulling the necklace out off the velvet box. He delicately puts it around her neck.

"K-Kaito-kun. I can't accept this..." Shiho tries to get away from him. Just by the look of it, she knows that the diamond must be very expensive.

"Please take it. It's very meaningful to me and you are also very meaningful to me."

"B-but.."

"Please, Shiho. It's totally yours.. You are the queen of my heart.."

...

...

...

...

Eh?

...

...

Queen of heart?

...

...

...

"Q.. Queen of your heart..?" Surprised. The phrase seems very familiar to her.

Kaito chuckles gently.

"Haha. You don't get it? You are pretty innocent then..." He stares at her with merriment.

...

...

...

"Well, this masterpiece is called 'Queen of Heart'. It is named after a card in the French Deck, the standard 52-card deck we use universally for games." Ah. I remember. He is a card geek. Shiho recalls the times he shuffled card deck while waiting for her.

...

...

...

"In Cartomancy Art, the 'Queen of Heart' traditionally represents a beautiful woman with sandy or light brown hair, with azure or blue eyes. This woman would have the natures of a queen. She is strong-minded, dominating, passionate and sensitive. She also enjoys beautiful and luxurious things in life," Kaito laughs.

"That's definitely you."

"Wh-WHAT? That's not it!" Dominating?!

"Hahaha! Come on. We know that! Hahaha! Well, in fortune-telling, when someone picks the card up, it can be predicted as finding the love of one's life or getting married. So, when someone gives you the 'Queen of Heart'.. "

...

...

...

...

...

"It means that he loves you."

...

...

...

...

Stunned. Shiho's eyes widen.

...

...

What?

What did you just say?

...

...

...

Somehow, she remembers something.

...

...

Could it be..?

No. That can't be. It's just a coincidence.

...

...

...

...

As the girl is pondering something to herself, sadly, the phantom thief doesn't seem to notice it. It's because he has something he needs to take care of. Kaito glimpses at his watch. It's 11:27 PM. There's still some time left.

"Oh, by the way... this is not really the reason I gave you the necklace but it's actually another reason why I picked it up.. Hahaha."

Hmm?

...

...

...

...

"Well, you see, the letters below the box, 'La Reine de Coeur (Queen of Heart)'."

...

...

...

...

Kaito continues, "As I said, it's French Deck. So, the origin of the card is actually from one of my most favorite french novel, 'Arsène Lupin', the gentleman burglar. I think you might have heard of him? He is one of the most magical character in the novel's world. And, you know that, I'm obsessed with magic.. Hahaha"

...

...

...

Shiho glances at him.

...

...

"But sadly, the original story about 'La Reine de Coeur' was not that pleasant. It was one of not so many chapters which Lupin had to fight with his stupid rival, Sherlock Holmes.. Ahhh..That's off topic. Let talk about othe- "

"Hold on! What's the story?" Abruptly. She interrupts him so sudden. Sherlock Holmes?

What is she thinking?

Kaito looks at her in surprise. "You wanna know?" Frowning. It is rare for this kind of story to fascinate her.

Shiho startles. "Yes, I want to know," she answers shortly, doesn't really know why must she feel like she has to know it.

Kaito looks into her eyes. There are some glows he has never seen before.

...

...

...

Like the glow he saw at the hospital?

...

...

...

He secretly frowns to himself.

"Well, in the story, La Reine de Coeur was a letter card for a queen," he starts, "The queen who killed her husband."

...

...

...

"That's why Holmes was involved. There was a murder and a letter card left by the dead man. Lupin was asked by the queen to steal it back, but Holmes wanted to have it as evidence. So, lame fight, but Lupin won. The letter card was given back to the queen. And the term 'Queen of heart' was later used to describe a strong woman, a strong card. And the novel 'Alice in Wonderland' adapted the concept for its villain character, the dangerous queen who beheaded everyone in her way." Despite finishing the synopsis himself, he still hasn't known why anything seems interesting to her. It's absolutely not a fancy story, he must say.

...

...

...

...

"Wh- what?"

...

...

...

"That's it?"

That's all?

Sad. Shiho doesn't know how sad her voice sounded. She doesn't know what she feels.. confused? sorrow? disappointed..?

...

...

What was she hoping for?

...

...

The strawberry blonde unknowingly bends her head down.

How stupid of her to think there was a meaning behind his action?

...

...

...

...

Did she think just of him again?

...

...

...

...

No way. I need to forget him.

She blinks her eyes over, thinking that she could suppress it all.

She looks at the only man in front of her and sees his worried face.

...

...

...

...

This is the man who truly loves me.

He is the only one for me.

...

...

...

I can't break his heart.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Ding. Dong. Ding. Dong. Ding. Dong . . .

It's midnight.

It's finally Christmas.

...

...

"Shiho.." Kaito stares back at the girl. Frowning. She is acting so strange again.

"Ahh.. Kaito-kun.." The strawberry blonde suddenly snaps out of her thought. She then smiles at the man apologetically as she quickly wipes some unknown water out of her face. "I- I'm sorry. I'm just... surprised... Haha."

...

...

...

...

Kaito still keeps looking her.

Strange.

That smile is not real.

She is lying.

...

...

He thinks he know the reason.

He is about to say something.

..but..

..

..

..

Flash!

Suddenly, hundreds of decoration lights on the giant mistletoe above them are opened.

It's too romantic, too sparking to be ignored.

..

..

..

"Mistletoe.. huh?" whispered Shiho, "Oh yeah.. Merry Chirstmas, Kaito-kun. I should give you a gift then..." Trying her best to smile, Shiho's usual calm face looks so happy, so cheerful, so genuine.

She steps closer to him.

..

..

..

That's right. It's Christmas. I'm going to be happy.

..

..

..

"Well, this is not the actual gift I've prepared..haha.. It's a bonus to you."

She lifts her hands around his warm neck.

"S-Shiho.."

..

..

..

That's right. It's Christmas. It's the time to love.

..

..

..

..

..

..

She slowly tiptoes herself to the tall body.

..

..

..

..

She closes her eyes, drawing his face so near.

..

..

..

..

..

I'm gonna love him and only him.

..

..

..

..

..

Their lips are only inches apart.

..

..

..

..

..

..

..

..

..

I need stop my tears.

..

..

..

..

..

..

..

..

..

..

.. but ..

"Shiho-chan.."

Suddenly, a finger is pressed onto her lips.

..

..

..

..

..

..

..

"A kiss is something you do with someone you love."

..

..

..

..

And that person is not me.

..

..

..

The tears she had held so hard slowly roll down to her cheek.

..

..

..

That's it.

The so-happy mask she tried so hard to put on just shatters in pieces. The beautiful face just breaks into shed of tears. She can't hold it. She can't lie to herself. Kaito slowly breaks himself off from her wrap and hugs her softly. Her warm tears flood through his fabric chest. The woman who is always so strong is now so fragile. His eyes soften. He stares at the girl gently.

"Don't cry, Shiho-chan," he slowly pats her head, "It's true that I love you the most but I still want you to be happy more than anything else.." He smiles at her. "No matter how much I want to hold you or be with you, I still want you to smile..," somehow, his voice starts to crack. Somehow, he couldn't continue to speak.

..

..

..

A tear also rolls down to his cheek.

..

..

Even though his heart has been broken, he knows that she is a lot suffering than him.

Even though he was so happy to be with her, he knew that someone was painfully hurt at the same time.

Even though he saw her smile together with him, he knew that she had to cry when she was alone.

..

..

..

He wants her to be truly happy,

even though her happiness may not include him.

..

..

..

..

"K.. Kaito-kun.."

"Don't force yourself anymore, Shiho. You've made me happy enough already. It's really time for your happiness.." I don't want you to love me because you pity me.

"Kaito-kun.." She can't take her eyes off him.

...

...

...

...

...

...

"Thank you"

..

..

..

..

..

That's right. That's all I have to say.

..

..

Thank you for being with me this whole time.

Thank you for making me laugh.

Thank you for your caring and understanding.

Thank you for loving me.

..

..

..

..

..

..

Kaito simply smiles at the crying girl as if he understands what she wants to say.

That's enough for him.

...

...

...

"So, shall we get back? But I need to go to some place for a while.." It seems like he has to cancel that suit reservation after all.

"Oh.. No. It's okay. I need to go somewhere, too." I need some time to clear my head..

Both Shiho and Kaito are just looking there at each other, smiling. Every light, every candle, seem to have melted into this true smile of theirs. For the first time in long months, Shiho feels like she can really be happy. It's one of the most genuine smile in the world. The smile of friendship. Brighter and warmer than any other thing.

...

...

The strawberry blonde gazes at the man, "Umm..m.. I think I'm going now.."

Thank you so much, Kaito-kun.

...

...

...

...

"Shiho-chan.. Wait!"

Kaito calls her back.

...

...

...

...

...

...

"Don't you wonder why Lupin wanted to return the letter to La Reine de Coeur?"

...

...

Shiho turns around.

...

...

...

Kaito smiles, "Well, it was simply because it's the token of one of the greatest love.."

...

...

...

...

...

"The truth is.. the king knew that the queen was going to murder him. He knew that she had to do so for an inevitable reason yet he still didn't want her to regret it for the rest of her life. So, he wrote a letter the night he was killed. It wasn't a dying message or a will or a secret evidence like the detective had thought, but actually was a forgiving letter."

...

...

...

...

"So the true meaning of Le Collier de la Reine is 'No matter what you did, I still love you'."

...

...

...

...

...

That was why Holmes agreed to return the letter back.

What love is greater than forgiving the one who destroy your life?

...

...

...

...

...

...

"Merry Christmas, Shiho-chan."

And so he watches her runs off with the verge of tears.

...

...

...

...

...

...

Beep! Beep!

He is calling someone?

...

...

...

"Hello?" Another person on the line picks up.

...

...

"Hi, Akako. I need your help.."

.

.

.

.

.

Next morning, at Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Special Criminal Unit

7.00 AM. Everything is a mess. Everyone seems to arrive here a lot faster than the official time. As Kudo Shinichi walks into the building, he sees many of his colleagues and superiors are walking back and forth over the floor, extremely busy.

"Shinichi-kun! Thank God you are here.. Sorry to have bothered you.. but this is urgent." As soon as he sees the detective, Chief Inspector Megure calls and walks up to him quickly across the hall. This is not Shinichi's workplace (he works for national agency) but something extraordinary has happened today.

"It's alright, sir. What is it?"

"It's KID. We receive the warning letter from him this morning."

"Huh? You? Isn't it in responsibility of Inspector Nakamori? Larceny Unit?"

"Nakamori got it. But this time we are certainly involved."

"What do you mean?"

"A high-ranked officer was kidnapped with him."

"WHAT? Who is he?"

...

...

"Kudo-kun! A call for you from FBI. Line 2"

Suddenly, an officer calls the detective from afar. He puts a phone up high.

"Thanks, Saida-san. I got it." The young detective quickly picks the nearest phone up, patiently keeps the question to himself.

...

...

...

"Hello. Kudo's speaking."

"Shinichi-kun! Have you got the news?!"

"Ah- Jodie-san. Yes. I just got..."

"Shiho-chan is the one he kidnapped!"

Author's Note

Good evening, guys :) It's 9 PM here in Hong Kong. I hope you enjoy this chapter ;D

To tell you the truth, after I finished writing this chapter, I decided to re-read the whole story from the beginning at once, and then I felt some kinda sad. lol. Knowing that my first fanfiction is going to end in less than three chapters, it's somehow lonely.. hahaha. Even though I didn't intend to write such serious love triangle, I strangely put my heart into its a lot. I'm gonna miss these characters and their funny wedding.. and I'm sure gonna miss you all :)))

Well, this chapter came a lot faster than I thought. I couldn't believe it myself! lol. It's all thank to the massive number of reviews that put me on fire! Arr.. not that massive.. but it's so much more than I expected! ;))) I've never known there are this much of readers for this story, so, I'm really surprised. Thank you all so much for spending your precious times here. It's very honored to me. Thank you.

So, I hope the whole week I have spent will somehow pay off? lol. I'm sorry if there is any mistake. I tried my best to proofread it as much as my ability could do. If there is comment or suggestion for the further development, please tell me! :D:D I'm seriously want to make the next chapter as good as possible. So, please help. Anything is appreciated ^^

Well, I need to take a shower now.. lol ;D Will be back to answer every review and PM very carefully for sure. Please wait for me then!

Thank you all so much again.

See you next chapter... KID's showdown!

;D;D;D;D;D;D

Ps. For those of you who don't know who 'Akako' is.. I recommend you read the manga series 'Magic Kaito'. Seriously, she is very important.

Ps.2 Some readers have asked me whether I am a novelist or not... Wow. I'm so flattered ^^ But I'm really not. I'm just amateur scriptwriter ;D

Ps.3 Next chapter might take lots of time.. every mystery from the beginning is gonna be solved at once, including a long-waited sweet moment. So, stay tuned!
