Chapter 18: Riddle me this

Are you sure about that detective? - Said the Jester while both were keeping their balance on a construction beam lifted by a crane 50 feet's from the ground. Kyoko had failed to prevent the murder (the Jester push him from the top of a building in construction), And by following him they were both now in their current situation

"One misstep and you will fall" - he said walking to her making the beam tilt to her side this surprised the Detective trying her best not to show it, In order to prevent herself falling she also started walking to the center, when both of them were at arm's reach, he touched her face - "or maybe you just want me for yourself?" - this surprised the girl who tried to get away and slipped falling

Quickly the Jester jumped, throwing his hook to the beam and grabbed her landing her safely on the ground... after she realized she was ok she remembered her objective, but before she could catch him, he separated showing that he had shackled her to a tractor nearby - "don't worry the police will find you" - he said before disappearing into the night

...

The next day Kyoko got to the classroom... she was angry, they could all feel the anger leaking out of her, she sat and everyone felt afraid... they had never seen Kyoko this angry. While Kyoko was filled with anger... she was also thinking - *he made a fool out of me again* - she thought, making her even angrier... It was the fourth time she had failed to capture the Jester... and it was so irritating... She knew that the Jester was good natured... Her conversations with him had proven so... yet He was also a criminal and failing to capture him made her so mad

"Um... Kyoko?"- asked nervously and shyly Naegi. She, without thinking, glare at the boy, shocking him... before she noticed who it was... so she decided to calm herself - "Sorry Naegi... It was rude" - He laughed nervously before he looked worried at her

"are you feeling ok Kyoko?" - he asked her... she looked at his eyes filled with compassion and it made her a little embarrassed of how she was acting - "Nothing much... just... lack of sleep" - she lied making the luckster smile - "that's great... I mean not great... but better than what I thought.. which wasn't all bad" - she saw the boy stutter nervously in front of her, and smiled because of how sweet he was... he was worrying about her - "thank you" - she said smiling... making the boy blush... she looked really cute.

It was then that he remembered something- "Kyoko I actually have this couple of tickets to go to the museum... they are doing a medieval times recollection so I thought You could go with me" - he said smiling... which let the girl confused - "why do you have tickets?" - she asked him... he was going to answer when Leon came near them... grabbing Naegi in a headlock

"I gave them to him... I wanted to go because in the Circus Night web page (Black Jester web page) they said that there was an original medieval calling card from the assassin of that time in there" - she said catching the interest of the girl- "but I can't go because I have baseball training" - he concluded, before he released Naegi - "so want to go?" - he asked her making her smile

"sure"

...

After school they both made a stop in the hotel they were staying to have a change of clothes. Naegi was wearing Trafalgar Law's hoodie (pre-time skip... he bought it at an anime convention a while ago), black jeans, sneaker and his hat. He waited outside of Kyoko's room using his cell phone to play.

Inside Kyoko's room

"oh no! what have I done?!" - asked nervously Kyoko while she passed around the room... she had forgotten something... she accepted a date with Naegi... because of what happened yesterday she didn't think through about her plans. She was going on a one on one date with the boy she had a crush on... She looked around her closet, not knowing what to wear.
