You changed your direction and went left, you ran down the mansion's stairwell and to the first floor where you saw Angelica and Yumi frantically running around in fear. The two were so scared that they couldn't help but run around like idiots. "Whatisthatscream, ohgodI'msoscared!" Motormouth Yumi yelled as she ran around. When Angelica saw you she got scared and ran into one of the marble pillars that stood in the hall. She was unconscious on the ground, but you didn't care. You ran towards first floor rooms and saw the living area, no one was there. Then, you decided to check the first floor bedrooms. Only two people slept on the first floor, Aka and Kokoro. You checked Aka's room first and he wasn't there. When you checked Kokoro's bedroom, you saw a bloody arm sticking out from under the bed. As you got near the bed, you lifted up the bed sheet that draped over the sides and saw Kokoro's dead body. You felt like throwing up, string-like wires tied onto Kokoro's limbs tightly. The wires that tied her up wasn't the thing that killed her, and that's for sure.

Ten minutes later...

Instead of solving this crime by yourself, you went back to the dining hall where Kitsune and Enlil-probably- remained in. You heard soft foot steps behind you, when you turned around you saw Ikutsku holding a toy hammer and he was ready to hit you. Ikutsku lowered his toy hammer and scratched his head, he walked away saying, "Way to destroy the fun." You saw Yumi come by and pull his ear, she pulled him down the stairs and said, "Youshouldn'thavewhackedmeidiot!" You just turned around and just kept walking towards the dining hall. A moment later you heard footsteps once more. When you turned around a cloaked figure was holding a pair of scissors in one hand and a knife on the other, the figure wore white gloves as well. The figure's whole body was surrounded by the black colored cloak it wore. You can only see the figure's mouth under the dark hood it wore, the figure smiled at you. The smile it made is more of a happy one than an evil smile. "Shitsuren..." The figure said. It dropped the pair of scissors and kept the knife, the figure ran off through the dark hallway, but you couldn't tell which direction. You picked up the pair of scissors and examined it, when you turned it around the name Shitsuren was on it. All you did was take it and run to the dining hall. Once you entered the dining hall you saw Kitsune and Enlil talking. You ran to them and threw the scissors in the middle of the dining table, where they sat. Kitsune looked at you while taking the pair of scissors and examining it. You noticed that Aka and Fuji was there as well they were both looking over a book, it was titled Shitsuren: The broken hearted murderer. "These look just like Shitsuren's scissors." Kitsune said. You nodded while trying to catch your breath. "Try running a marathon, a**hole!" Aka yelled while throwing the book that Fuji was holding at the wall. "We should investigate this tomorrow, it's already nine o'clock." Kitsune said.

"Also...ummm...Kokoro's dead." You said scratching your head.

"Why didn't tell me sooner, idiot!"

"'Cause I didn't want to tell you, you would be worried then."

"I'm a detective I know what to do."

"Yeah right!" Aka yelled.

Kitsune glared at Aka and he said while walking away, "Well, damn." Kitsune pulled up her her gloves and looked at Enlil, "We should investigate the matters tomorrow." Kitsune turned to look at you, "You would have to ask some of our friends questions, one of us might be Shitsuren." She pulled up her gloves once more and walked away, when you looked at her gloves you noticed it looked just like the gloves the cloaked figure wore. You just shaked your head and told yourself, It can't be her.
All you did was try to clear your mind from the thoughts and memories and you headed back to your room for the night. "Kokoro died first because she always teased him..." A voice said behind you. When you turned around there was no one there. I'm just being delusional, you thought. You just resumed walking back to your bedroom and safely slept, without getting killed.
