Guardian Angels (Saimatsu)

Finding Control (Chapter 18.)

Kaede's POV:

Shuichi: "Kaede, where should we look for evidence first?"

Me: "Well, I say that we check Himiko's Lab first. We need to prove Kokichi innocent."

Shuichi: "Makes sense."

I grab him and we run down to Himiko's Lab. When we get there, we open the door to see Himiko comforting Kokichi.

Is he... crying?

Himiko: "Kokichi... it's okay..."

Kokichi: "No... it's not... what if the murderer..."

Himiko: "I'll be alright, Kokichi. I know that I'm safe with you..."

Aw, that's so sweet!

Suddenly, they look over at us.

Me: "S-sorry, bad time?"

Kokichi weakly sits up.

Kokichi: "N-no... come in."

Shuichi: "We're here to look for evidence to prove your innocence."

Kokichi: "Innocence?"

Me: "We know that you aren't the killer. We just need concrete evidence."

Kokichi: "I... well, thanks."

Himiko: "I told you that everything would be okay!"

Kokichi: "You're right... thank you..."

We all start looking around for anything that could help us. We search for around thirty minutes, before we hear a thud. We look over, and Himiko is laying on the floor.

Kokichi: "Himiko, are you okay?"

Himiko: "Nyeeeeeh... all of this investigating is making me tired..."

Kokichi: "Say no more."

He picks her up on his back and she instantly passes out. He starts to walk out of the Lab.

Kokichi: "I think we should go..."

Me: "Yeah... I'm sorry that we couldn't find any evidence to help you."

Kokichi: "It's no problem at all!

He smiles at us creepily.

Kokichi: "Just prove the true killer guilty and you're set."

We should have started with that.

Me: "We should ask Miu if she saw anyone near her lab when she got there."

Shuichi: "Sounds good. By the way Kokichi, I don't think that anyone would blame you for staying with her."

Kokichi: "How did you...? Ah, whatever, you're not the Ultimate Detective for nothing."

Shuichi (Under his breath): "Except I kind of am..."

I turn towards him and I angrily puff out my cheeks. I hate it when he talks like that.

Kokichi: "Anyways, thanks for that. I just want to make sure that she stays safe tonight."

Me: "Aw, that's sweet of you..."

Kokichi: "Hey! I am NOT sweet!"

Shuichi and I laugh as he sighs in annoyance.
