Spirits [completed]

NORMAL

Sweat.

"Ha...ha...where the hell is she?"

I wiped away my sweat. Fukushi Mana is a hard catch after all. I didn't expect her to be this smart. But after all, she's the only successful experiment her father had ever made. Expecting her to be average smart would be a wrong thought.

"That detective woman!"

I looked back and saw Drai. Maybe I can use him now! I ran towards him and grabbed his arm. I tightened my grip. "Where is she?!" I shouted. "I don't know!" He exclaimed. "I don't know if you're telling the truth! You're crazy about her!" I told him.

Why do I even want Mana to help us?

To seek justice for Nine and Twelve?

How exactly have I sought enough justice?

Are they happy with me doing this?

Shall I even let my mind conquer my heart?

I let go of Drai. He ran and ran, but I had no strength left to chase him. I called Matsumoto-kun. I don't know what's exactly on my mind, but I don't think it's for me to answer. I usually let my clumsiness take over me, and without noticing, it is taking over me now. 

"Hello, Mishima?"

"Matsumoto-kun, I decided to visit Zero today."

"What?! How about Mana-san?"

"I don't know."

I suddenly hung up. It's not an option, it's a decision. I know if Mana couldn't help us, I should probably seek help from Zero. After all, he's also an experiment, a possible witness. Then, I took a train back to Tokyo.

My mission now, is making Nine and Twelve happier. Even without me.

I went to Zero's apartment. "Zero? Are you there?" I asked and the door was open. Just like the first time I was here, it was messy. But this time was messier. There were droplets of blood everywhere. "Zero?" I called out to him. "Did I tell you to come in?" He spoke in a spooky voice.

"It's me."

"Woman detective-san?"

He suddenly became happy and cleaned the couch for me to sit. "Thank you." I said. "What are you here for?" He asked me, hiding his arms behind his back. "I met your sis-"

THUMP!

"Zero! Are you okay?" He fell on the floor. I looked at his arms. He was holding a knife and on his right arm, and he cut himself. It was bleeding severely. "What have you done?!" I shouted. I can't believe the words engraved. 

"KILL"

*Buzz* *Buzz* My phone suddenly buzzed. It was a call from someone unknown. "So, do you still want me to take care of that piece of trash?" The voice from the other end of the line said. It was Mana. "He cut himself! Are you kidding me?" I shouted. "It's your loss, not mine." She said then hung up.

"Uhhh..."

"Hang in there."

I called the ambulance. What in the world was Zero thinking?! "Woman...detective-san...did she send you?" Zero asked me faintly. 

Huh?

"She sent you to get rid of me right? She...she wants to kill me."
