The Actor And The Idol

Chapter 4: Are Feelings Developing Here?

When it gets to the point you'll need to alter the image above in your head a little but you'll know when that is ;) just remember the wall and her kind of pushed against it and you will know the part that I mean)

Naomi's POV:
I looked up from the clue paper that I was reading to see Rui walking in from the bath wearing a similar blue yukata that I was wearing. I smiled as he walked over to where I was sitting and sat next to me, I looked back to the clues on the paper and sighed all these 'clues' made no sense at all none of them fit together at all, they were so mismatched no matter how you looked at them. I even asked Sakuya and Naomasa if they could work out anything to do with these but they both looked just as confused as I did at them.

''Still nothing with this paper?'' Rui asked I shook my head then looked to the ground. Normally I would be able to look over the clues once and instantly fit them together in some way, this was something I normally found really easy but for some reason this was just not one of those cases. My head is clouded...foggy I don't get it. ''Hey its fine, everyone has gone to bed so lets use these as a starting point and find some more clues that might help piece this stuff together okay?'' he said laying a hand onto my shoulder making me look up and into his brown eyes.

''Thanks Rui, your right this case has just started we can't expect to solve everything at once'' I said smiling at his kindness as I stood up beside him we quietly left our room to the main reception we had to check the guest book first to see if there were any frequent male costumers and how long they stayed.

''Naomi there's someone at the reception, it looks like that guy from earlier on...what do we do we need to look in that book'' I thought for a minuet before looking to Rui,

''stay here I'll distract him long enough for you to look through that book'' he gave me a worried look I smiled and walked out from where we were hidden and walked over to Jack I changed my expression to one of fear and walked up to the desk. ''Excuse me I really need your help I think someone might be outside, I felt someone following me and my boyfriend when we got here and its really scaring me. Please could you take a look outside with me?'' I said timidly he looked up from the desk and looked surprised to see me,

''Naomi?'' I pretended that I didn't recognise him and gave him a confused look he seemed hurt but quickly smiled to cover it up ''sorry, sure I'll take a look outside with you no problem. Lets go take a look around the grounds together then'' he said before taking a flashlight and leading me to the entrance. I looked back to Rui and gave him a thumbs up before walking out of the doors.

Rui's POV:
I watched as Naomi walked outside with the employee and walked over to the guest book, but something occurred to me as I started to flick through the pages...'did she call me her boyfriend?!' I thought with my eyes wide I shook my head and turned back to the book she did it to convince the guy to help her that's all its not like she meant anything behind it. I looked through the pages but no one's names really stood out to me there had been many names repeated in the book but all of them I recognised as the idols that were attacked.

I had been looking for about 20 minuets when I heard footsteps and voices I knew that Naomi and the guy was back I quickly flipped back to the original page and made sure everything was just the way I found it before walking away from the desk but before I could get back to my hiding spot they walked through the door and noticed me,

''sir are you alright?'' the employee who's name badge I could now read as Jack said looking suspicious. My breath hitched in my throat but then I had an idea I looked to Naomi with worry filling my eyes,

''Naomi! Oh thank god your okay! I woke up and saw that you weren't in my arms where you should have been I was so worried that I looked everywhere for you! Are you okay?'' I said pretending to panic as I ran over to her pulling her tightly into my embrace and nuzzling my face into her soft brown hair, I held her a little tighter hoping that she would catch on and play along.
