Murder at Kamiya High

Clue 4

As Chia and Micado walked down the sidewalks on their way to Chia's house, Micado was wondering how everything that has happened to him actually happened.

Just two years ago he was suicidal that he wanted to end everything by jumping off the roof of his middle school, and he was actually glad he didn't, which surprised him.

Micado met Xiang the first year at Kamiya High at the entrance exams, since he was in the same testing room as him. He knew some of his old middle school peers were trying for Kamiya High as well considering it was a well known school. So he was sure he'd have people already hearing about him and he'd just go through the next three years alone like he did in middle school.

Xiang though still heard the talk about him and still tried to talk to him at the exams and even afterwards.  Micado tried to ignore him and even growled at him to go away, but Xiang was like a leech that wouldn't get off his body.

Now that he's thinking about it Xiang actually saved his life one time.  He had gotten one of his massive headaches as he had left school and was crossing the road so he never noticed the truck barreling down the road at him.

All he remembered was waking up in Xiangs house with a cool cloth on his head and his headache completely gone.  Xiang was next to him about to change the cloth when he noticed he was awake and smiled brightly, which threw Micado off because he never had anyone actually care about him before, not even his own family, who never called to check on him.

Micado chuckled softly at the memory which made Chia squeeze his hand lightly and make him look at her, "What's so funny, Hitori-Kun?"

"I was just thinking about how my life went from dangerously boring, to actually interesting in these last two years."

Chia giggled lightly at him, "Yeah, if anyone else was like you they'd think the exact same way."

Micado smiled softly, a reaction he learned he was doing more often since meeting Xiang and Chia.  He was glad for Chia too.  He knew like right now he wasn't in love per say because they had just started going out, but he did like her, again a feeling that threw him for a loop.

"Hey, Emie-kun?" He asked softly to get her attention as they walked.

"Yeah, what is it Hitori-kun?"

"Do you want to go out this Saturday? To Akihabara, there are some nice date spots there..." he asked but trailed off at the end when he looked at her red smiling face.

"Yeah, that actually sounds really nice, I'd love too." Chia smiled brightly.

Micado smiled softly as his face went red lightly and he heard Chia giggle lightly at him which made his blush deepen.

After that they just did little small talk to learn a little more about each other before Chia stopped in front of her house.  It was a simple two story yellow brick house with a simple iron gate in the fence that separated it from the street.

"I guess this is my stop." Chia whispered softly and looked at her house and saw her mom standing there.

"My moms standing there waiting for me." Chia whispered making Micado look over and wave lightly at her mother which made her wave back with a smile.

"She seems nice."

"Yeah she is, she deals with me and my little brother ever since our father left." Chia whispered softly and raised her head at Micado's hand on her cheek.

"So I guess I can't meet her yet?" He smirked lightly making her blush.

"You'll meet her this Saturday when you come get me for our date, okay Hitori-kun?"

Micado nodded and his face went dark red as she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek softly.  She smiled softly and turned and walked to the gate then through and towards her house, a bright shy smiled her face.

He watched as her mother looked at him, and then started teasing her daughter some making her blush deepen and her rush inside. 

Micado turned with a small smile and pulled his hood up over his head and walked away to start making his way towards Xiangs house.

As he walked he noticed that people were giving a wide berth to him which he could care less about before a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Sir, remove the hood." A gruff voice said behind him.

Micado turned to see a police officer standing there with a pissed off look on his face which disappeared after seeing Micado's face.

"I'm sorry sir, I mistook you as a criminal we are searching for."  The cop apologized holding up a drawing of a middle aged man that looked a little like him but more rough looking with a beard and a hood over his head.  The criminals eyes flashing with malice with the little smirk on his lips.

Micado studied the face and chuckled inwardly at himself.  He knew the person looked familiar, but he had an idea to get rid of two birds with one stone.

"I'm really sorry sir I just left walking my girlfriend home from school, but I haven't seen him before." Micado said with a little bow.

"Oh it's very fine sir, please just let me know if you ever see him."

"Yes sir." Micado said then turned and started back to Xiangs house.
