Tomoki's POV (5 Days Till Alphonse Tonnerre Arrives...)

It's been two days since Physical Exams, during my time of not being on school due to Grandmother not trusting any of the staff members there, I have been doing lessons in Courting, homework that Tamaki brought home for me to do, and investigating. Trying to figure out who Lyon James was. Of course the police are involved in this investigation, but they barely have anything, just Fea who barely knew anything about Lyon James to begin with. Of course, I could have given her phone to the police, but I knew that they would go through everything on her phone, even things that didn't benefit the investigation. Her personal life.

I heard a knock on my door when I was finished off my math homework

"Come in." I stated, staring at the question in deep thought. I heard the creaking of the door opening, the person walking inside my room before shutting the door behind them

"I just got done with speaking with Mr. Tonnerre. He is worried about this predicament and wanted to know if he should forward Alphonse's arrival for another week until the investigation is over. He won't do anything without your's and Alphonse's approval." The voice of my father stated, having me nod and set my pencil down, turning around in my chair to look at him to see he is still holding his phone in his hand

"I will not tell my answer to him, I will tell my answer to Alphonse personally over the phone. May I speak with him?" I asked him and he nodded in confirmation, liking of how I was thinking logically. He spoke through the phone once more before handing it to me. He left the room to give me some privacy, leaving me to speak to Alphonse. I waited on the other line, shuffling and hushed whispers speaking to one another, my name coming across several times before I heard someone clearing their throat

"Hello. Alphonse Tonnerre speaking." My heart thudded in my chest nervously, remembering all of what Tamaki has told me about him branded into my mind

"I have business to speak with you concerning of your arrival in Japan." I stated, my voice ice cold and eyes dilated

"Ahh, so I see. Does this have to do with the investigation that I have been told about?" He told me slyly, his voice laced with venom as if I was a piece of gum stuck on his shoe. A nuisance

"Correct. Mr. Tonnerre wants both of our opinions on whether or not he should forward your arrival or have it stay as it it." I informed him, leaning back in my chair. Staring up at the ceiling

"And what do you think?" I smirked, putting my theory to light, leaning forward to put my forearms onto my desk

"I know that you have done your research on me Alphonse. And so to return the favor I did my research on you, Alphonse James Lyon Tonnerre." I stated, him grunting in confirmation that was his full name

"And your point? Tomoki Rune Suoh or should I say, Tomoki Chouko Suoh. Changed your middle name two years ago for reasons unknown to anyone." I gritted my teeth, so I see. He is as clever as I ought him out to be

"Hm, you have done your research as I have done mine. But there is something you don't know about me, that I know something about you. You see, I have Guolatane's Phone in my hand right now that I have been investigating for the past few days since the incident. I have found out the code name her employer gave to her, Lyon James. Your two middle-names switched to give out the name of her employer. But of course, it isn't you who is Lyon James, it is someone who wants to get information and from what I found out about you, you may be a sicko but not that sick to disturbing your fiance's privacy. Someone who knows your two middle names, is the culprit. And it isn't you." I explained, satisfied of how cold I sounded to him in my explanation

"Hmph, so you aren't just a silly girl I thought of you to be, you are actually clever enough to figure that I wasn't the culprit, but someone who actually knows me personally. Who do think the culprit is, Tomoki?" He asked me, humming in delight

"I have two theories, theories I will not converse to you over the phone. I will wait until we meet face to face." I stated, nodding to myself

"Then it's decided, see you in 5 days, Tomoki Suoh." The line went dead, signalling to me that he hung up. Why yes, in 5 days we will finally meet. I'm not afraid of him anymore, because I have dirt on him as he has dirt on me.

I got up from my seat, putting Fea's Phone in my secret compartment before heading downstairs to give the phone back to my father. I reached the dining area to see my father in a meeting with businessmen, sipping his coffee while scanning the many faces of men and women in the room. I headed over to him, the chatter going down to hushed whispers at my arrival. I reached my father and placed his phone down next to him

"It's decided, he will be arriving in 5 Days."

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

So, to those of you in the comments who thought Lyon James was Alphonse, are dead wrong. I wasn't going to make it THAT obvious! This chapter gives more character development with Alphonse, and you guys got to see more of Tomoki's ice cold ways. This chapter was awesome to me! So please comment of what you thought about it and your theories of who Lyon James really is, I would love to hear them and remember, the culprit is a person who knows Alphonse's middle names, anyone is a suspect. Also give me a reason as to why Fea was employed to send pictures of Tomoki to Lyon James, I would love to hear them! I will see you Sapphires later! -Golden
