Chapter 1: Murderers Cases

 

 

 

'Attention passengers. We have now arrived at Hiroya Station. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delay. The next stop is Hiroya. I repeat, the next stop is Hiroya.'

The announcement sounded over the PA system and soon the door of the train was open wide, ready to let out all of the passengers.

Among of all the people that departed from the train, a young man was seen to be looking very tired. The young man has a brown hair. He wore a white t-shirt under the black jeans jacket and blue jeans pants. A blue bag swung over his shoulder.

“Geez, finally arrived…” the young man groan as he massage the back of his neck, tired after the long trip. He then walked out to the entrance of the station, and once he was outside, he look around, trying to find the person that he was supposed to meet here.

“Hey, over here!”

The young man turn to look at the direction of the voice came from. A man with a gray buttoned-up shirt with a red tie around his neck and wearing a black pants was waving to him, and of course he notice a boy probably in ten years old, wearing a green long-sleeve shirt with a blue pants was standing behind the said man who waves at him.

Smiling a bit, he walk toward the two of them. Once he stood near them, he gave them a greeting. “Good afternoon”

“Good afternoon to you too.” The man smiled at him. “Wow, you look more handsome in person, and seems you have quite manners as well.”

The young man smile, “Thanks.”

“Oh yeah, by the way, I’m Hiroshi Abe, your mom’s brother.” the man who introduced himself as Hroshi extend his hand to the young man.

The young man of course, shook the hand for being polite to elders. “Nice to meet you Hiroshi–san, I’m Kamenashi Kazuya.”

“Yeah, nice to meet you.” Hiroshi said, “Well, you probably don’t remember, but we’ve met before. Though you’re only three back then, I change your diapers a lot you know.”

“He? Really?” Kame tilt his head in confuse, trying to remember in the process. “Ah, sorry. But I don’t really remember.”

The man chuckled, “There’s nothing to be sorry about. Beside, you’re still so little back then, it’s normal that you don’t remember.”

Kame just nodded in respond before his eyes turn to look at the boy standing behind Hiroshi, the boy though flinched a bit when he noticed that Kame was staring at him and only hide further away behind Hiroshi.

Noticing that Kame was staring at the boy behind him, Hiroshi then said, “Oh yeah, this is Yamada Abe. He’s my son.”

“Hey there Yamada-kun.” Kame bent down so his face was on the same level as the little boy who look really shy.

“..Hello.” the boy said Yamada finally spoke much to Kame’s delight.

Hearing the shyness from his son’s voice, Hiroshi cannot hold the urge to laugh. “Why are you getting so shy?”

“Dad!” Yamada glare at his father and smack Hiroshi’s back who only laugh again in return. Kame only smile seeing the family in front of him, it reminds him of his family who goes overseas already. Being separated from his parents for one year, he sure will miss them.

“Well then, shall we get going? But I need to fill the gas first before we drive to my house, do you mind?” Hiroshi said as he pointed at his black car few feet away from where they stood.

“Sure, I’m cool with it.” Kame said.

“Okay, let’s go then.” Hiroshi said before he walk to the car, followed by Kame and Yamada after that.

 

 

 

Once they have arrived at the gas station, one of the gas attendant approached them. Hiroshi turn off the car before he step out of it, followed by Yamada and Kame as well.

“Hey, fill it till it’s full.” Hiroshi said to the gas attendant.

“Right away, sir.” The gas attendant smile and nodded in respond.

“Uhm, excuse me, where’s the bathroom?” the little voice of Yamada make both Hiroshi and the gas attendant turn to face the little boy.

“Oh, it’s on your left at the corner? Do you know which one is left? The one that you don’t hold your chopstick.” The gas attendant turn to face Yamada and answer  the question with a smile on his face, though the smile looks more like mocking.

Hearing those, Yamada glare at the gas attendant, “I know that… geez.” The boy huffed before he run to the direction of the bathroom. Judging from what Kame saw, Yamada seems dislike it when people treat him like a little kid.

“Well, good time for smoke.” Hiroshi’s voice got Kame turn to look at the man who then took out his cigarette and smokes from the pocket of his pants before he walk further away to find a spot alone to smoke.

Kame sigh and lean against the car, staring up into the blue sky where he saw birds gliding through it. Kame wonders what sorts of event and people that he will encounter in this town, he wonder what kind of people that he will meet. Will he be able to make friends here?

Kame knew that he have lots of friends in his previous school, but that’s all what they are for him, ‘friends’, nothing special about them. They’re not the ‘true friend’ that will never bother to share their pain, problem, and happiness with him, they’re not the ‘true friend’ who will never hesitate to help him when he in needs.

Yeah, they’re his friends, but nothing special about them.

“Hey, are you new around here?”

Kame snapped out his mind when he heard a man’s voice sounded in his ears. Straighten up his body, Kame saw it was the gas attendant from earlier who called out for him.

“Must be tough for new kids like you transferred into a new place. You must make new friends and getting used yourself in a new place.” The gas attendant said, smiling as he folded his arms in front of his chest.

Kame smile, “Yeah, but I don’t have any choice.”

“Well, this is a small city, so there’s nothing much to do in here. But you can do part-time job from time to time when you’re free. We’re also in need for new worker, give it thought why don’t you?” the gas attendant said and smile at Kame, extending his hand to the young man.

Kame smile in return and shook the man’s hand. “Sure, I’ll think about it.”

“Cool then. Oh, I need to get back to work.” the man spoke more to himself before then he excuse himself and walk away to the small office in the corner of the gas station.

Kame watched as the man disappear into the small office. Suddenly a huge wave of dizziness hit the inside of his head that it cause him almost stumble into the ground if it weren’t for him supporting himself to the car.

“Are you okay?”

Yamada’s voice make Kame turn to look at the small boy who now stood in front of him, eyes looking at him in concern as he asked, “Are you sick? You don’t look so good…”

“…I’m…okay…” Kame replied and force himself to smile, just not wanting to make the little boy worried over him. He was new in here and he already going to live in the Abe’s residence for this one year, he don’t want to cause trouble to them.

It was weird though why he suddenly got extremely dizzy like this, was it carsick? Kame doubt it though, he never get carsick.

He was probably just tired from the long trip.

 

 

 

When the three of them has arrived in the Abe’s residence in was already afternoon, the first thing that Kame was told to do by Abe is to pack his belongings to his room on the second floor. The young man though felt tired after a long trip, so he thought it would be best for him if he pack his things up tomorrow.

Kame look around at his room, the room quite small, but there are quite nice stuff in here. There’s one drawer, a small TV, one couch, one small table, one study desk where he could use to study and one futon that was folded on the floor for him to sleep. Maybe he would get used very quickly with his room.

The thing is, Kame doubt himself that he would quickly get used with his new school.

‘Tomorrow huh…’Kame spoke in his mind as he sigh. Tomorrow he would get to his new school.

Wonder what kind of school is it…

A knock on the door make Kame jerk out of his mind and turn to face the closed door. “Uh… yes?” the brown hair boy voiced out, wondering who it could be.

“Dinner’s ready.” Yamada’s voice sounded from outside, and Kame did not missed the hesitant and shy voice in the kid’s voice.

“Ah, thank you. I’ll go downstairs.” Kame replied and heard Yamada replied back with a small ‘okay’ before the sound of footstep start to faded away that Kame realized the kid has go downstairs.

Taking out his cell phone from his pocket, Kame flipped it open, seeing no new incoming mails on the displayed of the screen. None of his friends has e-mail him, not even a single ‘hey, how are you?’ of message.

Seems that no one cares for him, and having that kind of thought in his mind, makes Kame felt sad.

Sighing, Kame put his cell phone on his study desk before stepping out of his room and walk downstairs. There he saw Hiroshi and Yamada already sitting on the table of the living room with dinners all over the table.

“Hey, come sit here.” Hiroshi spoke, pointing at the empty space across from Yamada’s. Kame walk to the two of them and sit on the mattress, staring in awe at the foods in front of him. “Oh, it’s look great.” Kame said with a smile before then he ask, “Who cook this?”

With a proud look on Hiroshi’s face, the man pointed his finger at his son as he spoke, “Yamada did it.”

“Eh~~”Kame look at the kid in front of him in amusement, a smile form on his face, “You cook all of this Yamada-kun?”

Yamada only nodded as answer with a small blush adorning both of his cheeks.

“Wow, you’re really awesome.” Kame exclaimed, and to that, Yamada only blush even harder and decide to say nothing.

Hiroshi laughed seeing the way his son act, “Funny, I never seeing you being this shy.”

“Dad.” Yamada gave him a silent glare, indicating his father to stay silent say nothing else. To that, Hiroshi cannot hold the urge to laugh.

“Okay, say no more. Let’s just eat.” Right after Hiroshi finished his sentence, a loud ring sounded in the room. Kame suspected that it was belong to Hiroshi judging from how the man make a groan and make a solemn face. He was proven right when Hiroshi took out his cell phone from his pocket and answered the call.

“Yeah, Hiroshi Abe speaking here.” Hiroshi said, Kame and Yamada only stare at the man who keep speaking with whoever it is on the phone, though Kame hardly call it’s a conversation since the only thing that Hiroshi said was ’Uh huh’ or ’I see’.

“Right, I’ll be heading there right now.” when those sentence escape from Hiroshi’s lips, the man stood up and dial off the phone before turn to look at Yamada and Kame then. “Sorry, I’ve got some work to do, so I couldn’t eat dinner with you guys.”

Kame only stay silent before then he look at Yamada who stand up and ask his father, “Are you coming home late?”

“Unfortunately yes.” Hiroshi sigh before then turn to look at Kame, “Sorry…”

Kame smile and shook his head. “Oh no, it’s okay. Please be careful on your way.”

“Sure thing.” Hiroshi nodded and turn to face his son this time. “Help[ him out okay Yamada? And don’t stay up to wait for me ‘kay? Just go to sleep.”

“Un, be careful.” Yamada spoke, earning a smile from his father then.

“Well, I’ll be going then.” The oldest man spoke before he grabbed a black coat on the couch and headed outside. Once Hiroshi step outside and noticing it was raining outside, he voiced out, “Yamada, it’s raining. What did you do with the laundry?”

“I already brought them in.” Yamada said back and when the sound of the front door closed was his only reply, both Kame and Yamada noted that Hiroshi must be left already.

Kame saw Yamada sat back into the mattress, grabbing the remote and turn on the TV. No word was exchange between them, and Kame thinks this is slightly awkward. He knew that Yamada is a shy kid, but since he will be staying in this house for a year, it won’t do any harm getting along, right?

“Uh…” Kame started, trying to find a conversation, but before he already finish his sentence, he already get Yamada’s attention on him, so he spoke whatever it is he have on his mind. “So… what did your dad do?”

“He solves cases. My dad’s a detective.” Yamada answer, earning a surprise look from Kame hearing such answer.

Well, Hiroshi’s does looks like a cop or a detective judging from the face, and to be honest, Kame thought that he might even be a former member of a biker gang. But he never thought that Hiroshi would be a real detective. It’s surprising, but it’s cool.

Though Kame feel sorry for Yamada. The poor kid must be often left by his dad alone in this house.

Kame was informed by his parents that Hiroshi’s has passed away. Just imagined how Yamada would feel, he was just a kid without his mother and almost every time was left alone by his father.

“…Is there something on my face?” Yamada’s voice make Kame snapped out of his mind, and that when Kame realized he have been staring at Yamada for quite a long time.

“O-oh nothing. Let’s eat” Kame shook his head and said to Yamada who only nodded and eat his food before got his attention to the TV again.

That night, Kame has a dream. A weird one.

He dreamt about a man with a short black hair wearing a long-sleeve black coat and a black buttoned-up shirt under it, as well as black pants and black boots that he wears.

And this man, he was holding quite a big sword in his right hand.  A sword that feels so mystical and hold the biggest power of all in it.

Kame wonders why he dreams those kind of dreams. It was so unreal.

Well, no dreams are real.

But still, Kame found it strange why he suddenly dreaming about a man, holding a sword in the most strangely way.

He wondered if these dream has got to do something with his change of life in this town.

 

 

 

 

Morning came up, and when Kame headed downstairs with his school hang over his right shoulder, wearing a black blazer with white buttoned-up shirt under it and a black pants, he was expected to found both Yamada and Hiroshi there on the living room, not expecting that he would only greeted by Yamada alone, cooking something in the kitchen.

“Good morning.” Kame spoke first, and it brought Yamada’s attention to him.

“Morning. Breakfast almost ready.” Yamada said and once again, Kame was quite surprised hearing this. It seems that Yamada is quite mature for a kid in his age.

“Sorry for troubling you, do you want me to help you?” Kame offered a help as he step closer to Yamada, hoping to somehow can be any assistance.

“No thanks. It’s already finished anyway.” The kid said as he put the sunny eggs he was cooking into the plate. “Here, it’s yours.” Yamada gave the plot to Kame who happily took it with a smile all over his face.

“Thank you Yamada-kun.” Kame said, earning himself a blush from the kid.

As both of them sit on the dining table, enjoying themselves the breakfast Yamada made, no more words was exchange between them. It was so typical, Kame thought. Maybe it was just how Yamada is, the kid seems extremely shy and uncomfortable when it comes to another person he just met.

“Un…” when Kame heard Yamada voice, he immediately turn to look at the kid who have a small blush adorning his face. He thought this is nice, because Yamada actually tried to make a conversation with him.

“Yes Yamada-kun?” Kame spoke with a smile, encouraging the little kid to continue.

“Well… you’re going to school right? If you want… we… can go together…” with a shy voice, Yamada encourage himself to speak while fondling the corner of his sunny-side eggs with his fork.

“Sure thing.” The young man with a brown chuckled before he continue his breakfast. Maybe he could get along with this kid after all.

 

 

 

 

Kurogin High School, March 12th. Inside The 2-E classroom.

 

A young man with a brown hair, a bit lighter though, enter the class of 2-E with a tired look on his face. He was wearing a black blazer and a white shirt buttoned-up shirt that we left ed, revealing his black t-shirt under it. Both of his long sleeve blazer was rolled up to his elbows, and his left wrist, he was wearing a black leather bracelet. He walk to where another four young man gathered around in one seat and greeted them, “Yo, morning.”

The four young man turn to look at him, and one of them who had a black hair with his blazer on that was all buttoned-up speak to him. “Morning Yamapi— huh? What’s gotten into you? You look dead.”

The young man called Yamapi growl lowly and squeeze his eyes shut, rubbing his temple with his hand then as he spoke, “Ugh… this morning when I on my way to school with my bike, I bumped into a pole, and now my bike makes a squeaky sound.”

The black hair young man who had his blazer buttoned-up snicker at him. “Seems that the Goddess of Fortune has abandon you.”

“Shut up you Tegoshi.” The man said Yamapi glare at Tegoshi. “Oh, by the way, what are you talking about? It seems interesting.”

“Well, I heard that there’s transfer student came into our class.” A young man spoke, he was with his blazer buttoned-up just like Tegoshi, only that he had a brown light hair, just like Yamapi does.

“He~ interesting.” Yamapi said with a smile on his face. “So Uchi, the transfer student, is it a girl or a boy?” the young man asked to the other named Uchi.

“Apparently, a boy.” Uchi replied, cannot help but smile in amused upon seeing the look on Yamapi’s face.

“Oh well, it’s not bad having a new friend around.” This time a boy who has the same hair as Tegoshi, blazer was left ed spoke.

“Ah sure… but seriously Ueda, there’s not enough beautiful and nice chicks here in our class. Or should I say, they’re all just a lousy gossiping girls.” With a quite a disappoint tone, Yamapi spoke to the man earlier called Ueda.

A laugh escape from the lips of a man who had a black hair, his blazer was buttoned up, both of his blazer sleeve was rolled up to his elbow, just like Yamapi. “Only a playboy like you who would speak like that Pi.”

“Shut up Nakamaru.” Yamapi spatted at the boy said Nakamaru.

“But you know… I heard that he’s came from the city.” Ueda spoke, and the other boys attention was on him in a second as he continue, “Just like you, right Pi?”

“Hmm…” with quite a serious look, Yamapi folded his arms in front of his chest, “Wonder what makes him move here to Hiroya…”

“No one knows” Ueda spoke, shrugging his shoulder, “Unless we gave him that question.”

“Oh yeah, you guys have heard who’s our homeroom teacher?” the smaller one of all of them, Tegoshi asked.

“I did.” Nakamaru raised his hand, and the moment he do that, the others turn to look at him, waiting for him to continue to speak. “Unfortunately, It’s seems that we’re stuck with that Katsuhisa Namase.”

“WHAT?! You mean that King Moron?!” Yamapi shouted in shock before he ruffle his hair in frustration. “Ugh, dammit! Not him!”

A pouted from on Tegoshi’s lips, “This is …”

“A whole year of King Moron and his long sermons, I should suspend myself now.” Uchi growl, looking ready to cry.

“Well, as much as I hate King Moron just like you guys do, it won’t do us any good even if we keep complaining. So, let’s just bear with it.” With a calm look, Ueda spoke to his companions, trying to make all of them calm.

“Ueda’s right.” Nakamaru said in agreement, throwing his arms around Ueda then. “We should just bear with it.”

Yamapi sigh, “Well I’m not the one who can get calm when that King Moron talk about us.”

“Yamapi.” Ueda gave his friend a threatening glare, “You better not cause trouble, or I’ll swear I make you taste the punishment of hell.” The black hair boy with his blazer ed spoke with a smirk adorning his lips, and that earns a gulp from Yamapi. Yamapi knew for sure when Ueda said that, the boy never once tried to joke with that.

The sound of the door slide opened catches the attention of the entire student, a face of unpleasant form on their face when they saw their homeroom teacher step inside the classroom.

“Alright you s, get your back to your seat!” Katsuhisa Namase ordered, and all of the students cannot help but obeyed his order, they all knew better if they not do as Katsuhisa told them.

“Dang… talks about King Moron…” Yamapi muttered under his breath before he gets back to where his single seat is, just like the other student.

Katsuhisa walk to the front of his classroom, “Alright, listen up. I’m your homeroom teacher and I’ll be wasting my time with you this year. So you guys better behave, or I’ll make sure you’ll live just like in hell.”

Tegoshi sigh, turning to face at Uchi who sit behind him, “When will you think he’s going to stop saying craps?”

Uchi shrug, “I’ll say, never.”

“Okay! Shut up all of you! There’s something that I wanted to say!” Katsuhisa shouted again, shoving both his hand into the pocket of his suit later. “We’ve got a transfer student, and I knew better that he’s much as a just like you guys.”

Yamapi cringed hearing that, if that King Moron not a teacher, he’ll swear he’ll already beat the life out of him.

“Despicable. How dare he says that about the transfer student without knowing him in the first place?” Ueda shook his head.

“Well, you know that he love to talk …” Nakamaru turn around to face Ueda who sit behind him.

“Hey! Transfer student! Get inside!” Katsuhisa shouted in the direction of the door, signaling the new transfer student to come inside.

Hearing that it was his cue to get inside the class, Kame reluctantly step inside the classroom, noticed how the other students get his attention on him. Kame tried not to look a bit nervous and stay calm as he stood in front of the class, facing all of them.

“Well, come on! Say something!” Katsuhisa smack him on the shoulder, and Kame flinched against the contact. ‘What’s his problem?’, Kame thought.

Kame then straighten up, putting up a small smile as he then introduce himself. “My name’s Kamenashi Kazuya. Nice to meet you all.”

When Kame finished introduced himself, he did not miss the views whisper that his classmates exchange to each other.

“He’s quite cute, don’t you think?”

“Poor guy, already got King Moron on his first day transferred here. Talk about bad lucks.”

“Alright, shut up already!” Katsuhisa shouted again for who knows how many times. “You! Get your there and sit on that empty chair!”

Yamapi noticed that King Moron was pointing at the seat in front of him and saw the transfer student seat there. To this chance, he cannot hold the urge to talk with this Kame guy.

Kame turn to look behind him when he felt a finger tapped on his shoulder, he saw a man in light brown hair behind him, “He’s the worse, huh?”

Kame only smiled a bit, “I’ll say.”

“Just ignore him okay? He just love talk about us.”

Kame only nodded to that before he turn around again, resting his chin on top of his hand that was elbowing the surface of the table. ‘What a though year…’he thought to himself.

“Oh well… that’s all for today.” Katsuhisa speak almost in happiness and was about to leave when the speaker sounded in the classroom.

"All teachers please report for a staff meeting. Students remain in your classrooms, do not leave the school until further notice."

“Alright, you guys heard that?! Don’t leave the school and shut up!” Katsuhisa gave one last warning before he leave. Soon after King Moron, a sirens was heard in the distance, a police sirens it was.

“Uhm… excuse me, but that’s a police sirens, was it?” Kame turn to face at the guy sit behind him who he did not know whose name yet.

A chuckle escape out of Yamapi’s lips, “No need to be so formal.” He said, looking at the transfer student in amusement before answer the question, “And yes, I’m sure it is.”

“Is there something happened here lately?” Kame asked

Yamapi tilt his head, trying to think about something, “Nope, can’t say there is. This city is quite peaceful you know.”

“I don’t think so.”

Another voice is what make Kame and Yamapi turn to look at Tegoshi with Uchi, Ueda, and Nakamaru approached them.

“You don’t see the news yesterday, Yamapi?” Tegoshi asked.

To that question, Yamapi raised an eyebrow and decide to ask, “What news?”

“A woman announcer, Miho Jun was caught in a secret relationship with the husband of an enka singer, Kurita Yoko. The husband of Kurita Yoko, Takanori Jinnai admitted that he was in a secret relationship with Miho Jun, that’s when Kurita Yoko decide to divorce him. But when he decide to met with that announcer again, it seems that Miho Jun was suddenly disappear.” Tegoshi explain.

“D-dissapear?” Kame asked in surprised.

Tegoshi nodded before explained more further, “That announcer family says that she didn’t contact them for what? A week I suppose?”

“A week?” Kame asked again, this is really surprising. It would be hard to get notice the presence of someone who already missing for a week.

“Huh… interesting…” Yamapi muttered, before then he look at Tegoshi again, “So, is there anyone who saw her before she disappear?”

“Don’t know” Tegoshi shook his head.

“Wow, Tegoshi. I didn’t know that you’re quite informed.” Ueda remarked, earning a giggling Tegoshi who look proud with himself.

Kame was quite worried, it seems that this town didn’t look so peaceful as it seems. A woman has disappeared since a week, yet there’s no trace of evidence that the police or anyone have a clue where she is.

Kame doubts that woman would hardly still alive right now.

All the student suddenly become silent when they heard an announcement sounding in the school.

“All students are now allowed to go home. Please head directly to your home without yourself, immediate at all cost of heading home alone, if it possible, please call your guardian to pick you up.”

When the announcement has ended, the students started to become lousy again.

Kame wonder what happened.

“Well, since they told us not to go home alone, why don’t we go home together?” a sudden suggestion coming from Nakamaru makes them turn to look at the said guy.

“Oh, that’s a good idea!” Tegoshi said with a cheerful smile on his face, he then turn to look at Kame who was a bit startle by the sudden attention. “Care to join us?” Tegoshi offered.

Hearing this, Kame was startled that he was being offered to go home together, “I can come?”

“Of course you did, silly.” Yamapi chuckle, looking at the transfer student in amusement. “Oh yeah, I haven’t introduced myself, right? The name’s Yamaa Tomohisa, but everyone called me Yamapi, or Pi more shortly.”

“Then I guess I should introduce myself as well.” Ueda spoke with a small smile on his face. “My name is Ueda Tatsuya, but you could just call me Ueda.” A young man that looks mature and reliable in Kame’s eyes introduce himself.

“I’m Tegoshi Yuya! Nice to meet you Kamenashi-kun!” this time Kame turn to look at the guy who has offred to go home together, to Kame, this guy looks a bit childish.

“Hey, I’m Nakamaru Yuichi. Nice to meet you.” This time Kame got his attention at the young man that has a nose slightly bigger than everyone else, it’s not weird though, if Kame was told to be honest, it was actually quite cute.

“My name’s Uchi Hiroki.” A young man with a charming smile adorning his face introduced himself to Kame.

In Kame’s thought, the five of them are quite attractive. They probably got themselves quite a lot fangirl.

“I’m Kamenashi Kazuya, but you could call me Kame, everyone in my previous school does anyway.” Kame offered the five of them a smile.

“Then, Kame-chan~ Let’s go home together~” when Tegoshi gave him that nickname and swung an arm over his shoulder, Kame felt himself get embarrassed, because to be honest, this is the first time someone called him that.

“Oh, that’s right. Yamapi, didn’t you said you will gave me back the DVD you borrowed today?” Ueda turn to Yamapi as he suddenly remember.

And to the mention of that, Kame swear the look on Yamapi’s face has turn into a kind of face that he will be death.

Knowing the reaction Yamapi gave him, Ueda raised an eyebrow, arms folded in front of his chest and with a threatening tone as if knowing Yamapi had done something wrong, he spoke. “Okay now, Yamaa-kun. What did you do with my DVD?”

Yamapi flinched at the way Ueda had called him Yamaa, he knew that right here and now he reveal what he did, he would get in trouble.

And by what Yamapi mean in trouble, it was another word for ‘execution’.

“U-Uh… well…” Yamapi gave Ueda a nervous laugh as he look for something inside his backpack. When he had found what he need, he stood up then before giving the DVD to Ueda. “It was… such an amazing movie… a-and, well— oh! Sorry! I’ve got to go! Bye!” Yamapi excuses himself when Ueda opened the box of his DVD and eyes filled with fire.

“THE HECK! PI! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DVD?!” Ueda yelled as he ran after Yamapi and the next thing the other four boys knew, a loud voice of Ueda’s legs kicked against a part of Yamapi’s lower body was sounded.

Ueda’s voice become agitated as he panics, “I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU CRACKED MY DVD!” he shouted as he watched his DVD that was split in two.

“What’s the matter Ueda?” Nakamaru approached with the others following him and asked his best friend.

“Look what did this do to my DVD! My Lord of The Ring! It’s cracked!” the guy that Kame thought was actually mature whine in a desperate voice.

“…ugh, I think mine’s cracked too. Major hit to the nads…” Yamapi groan in pain as he crouched into the floor, hands covering his most private part.

Hearing the pained voice, Kame turn to look at Yamapi, he wanted to help him, but he didn’t know what to do. “U-uh… are you okay?” he asked then.

“Let’s just ditch him Kame-chan!” an angry voice belong to Ueda make Kame turn to look at the other, he saw Ueda approached him, grabbing him by the wrist and drag him to the door classroom. Kame give a look at Yamapi who still on the floor, he wanted to help him, but it seems ignoring Ueda’s order will be a disaster for him.

Just when Ueda slide the door open, a guy in light brown hair with a white buttoned-up shirt under his blazer was standing in front of the class.

“Oh, Toma-kun.” Tegoshi voiced out.

“Yo guys.” the guy that Kame thought was Toma greeted all of them. Kame noticed then how Toma turn his attention at him before a smile form on his lips, “Hey, you’re must be the transfer student.”

“Oh, yeah.” Kame nodded before he introduce himself, “I’m Kamenashi Kazuya.”

“Hey there, I’m Ikuta Toma.” The man said Toma smile widely at Kame before he turn his attention to the others. “Hey, have you seen Yamapi?”

“If you looking for that best friend of yours, he’s over there.” Ueda answered, pointing his finger at Yamapi.

Toma raised an eyebrow, “What’s gotten into him? He looks dead.”

“Ask him for yourself, and let me tell you, it was all his fault.” Ueda spoke before he grab Kame by the wrist again, “Come on guys, let’s go home already.”

And with that, the five of them leaving the school, leaving Yamapi alone in pain who could only curse for this moment.

 

 

 

“Oh, so you’re moving in because you of your parents work at New York huh.” Uchi spoke as the five of them was currently asking for Kame reason moving to a small town like Hiroya.

“True.” Kame nodded.

“It must be quite hard for you, leaved all alone and moving here by yourself without knowing anyone yet.” This time Ueda spoke, his arms folded in front of his chest.

“I can’t told them not to do their work? That would be selfish.” Kame reasoned.

“So, you rather decide to put yourself in the bad position instead of not letting your parents do their work?” curious, this time Nakamaru’s turn to ask.

To that question, Kame nodded again. “Yes.” He spoke before then he look at the ground, shoving his hands inside of his pocket. “Well, I don’t really mind though. It’s not like I have someone important or someone that I could call friends in my previous school.”

“But hey, don’t worry Kame-chan!” startle by the sudden exclaim coming from Tegoshi, Kame got his attention at the smaller boy as the boy continue. “We got your back if you’re in need for help.”

Kame smile, “Thanks.”

He didn’t know the reason Tegsohi said, he thought it was probably because the boy was pitying at him after what he said earlier. But pitying or not, Kame still felt a bit glad how nice they are.

As they walk further and exchange more conversation, they saw people gathered around in front of a house, seemly talking about something. Bu what caught their attention are not the gossiping people, it was a car, a police car to be exact. Naturally, where there are police around, cases around.

“Hey, is that… a police car?” Nakamaru asked.

“D-did something happened?” Kame asked.

Ueda answered and shook his head, “Most likely. Let’s find out.”

The five of them walk closer to the quite crowded and true, they’re quite a lot of two police car. They turn their attention when they caught the conversation of two woman who talk to each other.

“I can’t believe that ‘thing’ was actually hanging around in antenna…”

“Yeah, just how creepy is that… poor thing… I heard it was a high school boy who found the body…”

Hearing the word ‘body’, Ueda’s curiosity get the best out of him and he cannot hold the urge not to ask what is it exactly that these two woman talking about. “Uhm, excuse me…”

The two woman then turn their attention to Ueda who asked, “It seems something has happened here, do you know what exactly it is?”

The woman look at each other for a while, looking hesitant whether they wanted to tell or not, but then decide to explain, “You see, they have found a dead body hanging on antenna on top of this house…”

The eyes of the five young man widen in horror upon hearing the word, ‘dead body’.

“D-Dead body?” Kame mutter to himself.

“Hey! You guys! What are you doing out here?!”

A voice of a man yelling what caught their attention, and Kame was a bit surprised seeing it was Hiroshi. “Hiroshi-san?”

“Oh, Kame. What are you doing here?” Hiroshi asked as he approached them.

“Kame-chan, you know this man?” Tegoshi pulled Kame’s sleeve and ask in a whisper.

“He’s my uncle. I’m living in his place. He’s a detective” Kame explain before he then turn his attention back to Hiroshi. “We’re just passing by to head home.”

A sigh escape from Hiroshi’s lips and somehow the look on the man’s face look restless. “You guys should head home, it’s dangerous already.”

“Uh… excuse me… er, Hiroshi-san, right?” Nakamaru voiced out. “I-Is it true that there has been dead body around here?”

Hearing the question, the five young man turn their attention to Hiroshi-san, hoping for the man to answer that question. Knowing the looks on these teenager face, Hiroshi sigh, “Yes, we found a dead body hanging on antenna. The cause of the dead, are still unknown.”

“Now that I already answer your question, go back home already. It’s dangerous.” Hiroshi warn, crossing an arm in front of his chest.

“Yes sir.” The other said in unison before they bit their goodbye to Hiroshi.

“Wow, how scary… I mean, who would hanging a dead body on antenna?” Uchi voiced out, his eyebrows furrowed in a look of concern.

“But, don’t you found it’s weird?” a sudden question coming from Ueda makes the others turn to look at him.

“What’s weird?” Nakamaru asked.

“The dead body was hanged on antenna, don’t you find it’s weird? It’s looks as if it meant to be found.” Ueda explained, grabbing his chin with his hand.

“…You’re right.” Kame agreed, “And what more strange is how the culprit hang the body on the antenna. I mean, wouldn’t it be noticeable and suspicious if someone climbs on someone house carrying a dead body? There must be at least someone who seen it…”

“Maybe it’s because yesterday quite foggy.” Tegoshi chuckle, hoping to lighten u the mood because seriously, he hated talking about this creepy stuff. When Tegoshi notice everyone was staring at him, he raised an eyebrow, looking confused as he ask, “W-What?”

“There’s a fog yesterday?” Ueda asked frowning.

“Uh… I guess?” Tegoshi answered hesitantly.

“When?” this time it’s Kame’s turn to asked.

“Uhh… about half past midnight I guess? Since I was watching my favorite movie yesterday…”

“Half past midnight…” Ueda muttered before he turn to look at the others. “It’s a perfect time to do a crime when everyone normally asleep.”

“T-then… should we tell this to the police, or Kame-chan’s uncle?” Nakamaru suggested.

“No.” Kame said sternly, “Beside, telling them that will do us no good. My uncle will only told us to stay away. They must be figured it out already.”

“Kame-chan’s right.” The mature looking boy agreed, “Let’s leave this to the police.”

The other cannot urge any further and nodded in agreement as they walk back to their own home.

 

 

 

 

Abe’s residence, seven at night.

 

“Dad’s late.” Yamada commented as he stare at the clock, both Yamada and Kame was eating their dinner watching the TV, though Kame’s attention turn to the said kid in front of him when Yamada said that.

“He often come late, isn’t he?” Kame asked, decide for striking a conversation.

Yamada nodded and answer, “Dad’s busy…”

When a news report was shown, both Yamada and Kame turn their attention to the TV.

"Today in our town of Hiroya, Miss Miho Jun, who was having an affair with Takanori Jinnai was found dead hanging on an antenna. Mr.Takanori and his ex-wife were brought in for questioning, but right now nothing is for certain."

Kame’s eyes went wide upon hearing that.

…Miho Jun, the woman who disappear for a week was the victim?

Kame thought this town seems not as safe as it looks.

Foreword

This story was inspired by the game Persona 4, the plot are have many similar things. The difference is that in the game they’re fighting with their Persona right? While in here the one that become their weapon is a person or should I say their guardian, just like in the anime Fate/Stay Night. I hope you enjoy ^^

That’s the first chapter! I know it’s boring and still not interesting since mostly I only introduced everyone in this chapter, but I promise, the next chapter will get more interesting ^^ those who are a fans of persona 4 and already played the game must know the story already, but there would be quite a lot that I would change

Anyway, thank you for reading and sorry if there are so many grammar and structure >< (English’s not my mother tongue)
