"Your place?" Kadota Kyouhei questioned raising a brown and Mikado kept the forced smile on his face.

"Yes." Mikado said cheerfully and Anri looked at him concerned knowing too well that it was all an act but she stayed silent.

"Saburo is waiting around the corner, he can give us a lift." Kyouhei said his brown eyes full of confusion, the two otaku's chatted among themselves while everyone remained silent during the short walk to the van they had all been in many times. They all climbed inside and Anri rested her hand on Mikado's arm and leaned close.

Kyouhei explained to Saburo that there was a change of plans and they were all going to Mikado's apartment. Mikado stared out the window as they took off from the curb and Anri leaned over to him so she could whisper in his ear.

"Ryugamine-kun, aren't you going to tell them your new address?" she hissed her big dark eyes flicking in confusion and Mikado shook his head,

"They'll understand more if I show them" Mikado said quietly and Anri nodded. It didn't take long with Saburo's driving to arrive at the teen's old apartment, or what was left of it. It was really just a pile of charcoal with police tape over it, blocking it off from the public.

"What in the world!?" Erika exclaimed, the entire van gang was stunned as they parked across the street from the destroyed building and Mikado opened the door and stepped out. Frantically, Anri followed him and so did the rest of the gang. They looked at the remains of the building and then at Mikado who walked up to the police tape with a blank expression, his foot hit a piece charcoal, oval in shape, like that of a human head and he was reminded of the two people that lost their lives in the fire that Masaomi had set.

Lifting his foot, he crushed the piece of charcoal under his boot and narrowed his eyes. "What happened here?" Kyouhei demanded turning to Mikado who sighed.

"Someone tried to kill me." He said with a small smile and he turned to the face the crowd. "Sadly, it was the same person had a hand in Izaya's death."

"Heiwajima-san?" Saburo asked quietly and Mikado smiled,

"No quite." Mikado leaned against the tape, his weight making it stretch but not break. "It's true that Heiwajima killed Izaya, I would know. I was there."

"What? You can't be serious!" Walker exclaimed shocked and Kyouhei shook his head in disbelief and Mikado snorted,

"I don't believe you. Orihara-kun was found in the early hours of the morning, why would you be with him?" Kyouhei asked his brown eyes narrowing and Mikado clicked his tongue,

"We all met up for dinner." Anri blurted out, "We were at a family restaurant until around seven before they left."

"Eh, I thought you didn't like Iza-chan, Anri-chan." Erika ask confused and Anri looked at Mikado unsure on what to say and Mikado looked down at his boots studying them suddenly with great interest.

What the hell do I tell them? Do I really want to tell them I was fucking Izaya and it infuriated Masaomi into spinning Heiwajima's mind and he killed Izaya in a rage? Mikado sighed and Anri touched his arm in encouragement, he opened his mouth to tell them the truth when a mother and her daughter nervously walked between them.

"Maybe we should actually go to my new place." Mikado said rubbing the back of his neck.

The van gang was stunned as Mikado unlocked the door to Izaya's apartment and stepped inside, there was two small pairs of shoes at the door and Mikado looked at them in confusion.
