Case K.U.R.E.N.A.I | Beyblade Burst/God

Chapter 1 • The Murderer

"A murder case...? Shu? Died?! When did all that happened? I... I mean... I don't remember any..."My expression was blanked, eyes were focused on my feet before shifting my gaze back to Rantaro who seems to be a bit bothered about my response.

"You don't remember? His body was found earlier. Why can't you remember?"He crosses his arms and taps my head with extreme force that made me shout.

"Oww! Seriously Honcho. Just listen to me first." I replied, rubbing my forehead afterwards. The hallway was red because of the burning sun passing through the glass windows. It was around 4 pm of course.

"Then spill the beans kiddo."Wakiya uttered with a hiss. His expression seems uncanny and oblique in a way that it almost threw me out and made myself spill everything I remember and probably some facts.

"alright alright! But don't stare at me like that Wakiya. You're creeping me out."I heave out a sigh and opened my mouth to speak,"All that I remember was that I fell asleep, had a strange dream that I don't remember and all I know was that when I woke up, everything seems normal and I don't remember anything out of the ordinary or that some murder case about Shu happened..."

"That's strange. Maybe because Wakiya woke you up all of a sudden that made your brain empty."Daigo said in a joking manner. But even so, Daigo's humor seems dark and strange. It doesn't look like he's joking but if ever, his jokes were of a riddle.

"Aish. Whatever. Isn't the courthouse waiting for us? Why don't we go? Anyway where's Ken?"Questions were embedded in my head and it felt wrong and weird at the same time. I wanted to ask more... Not just simple and ridiculous questions... But my tongue can't seem to process these questions without my brain's consent.

"Ken is at the courthouse waiting for us. So I suggest let's go."Wakiya rolled his eyes and walked pass by us. I guess I won't be needing this map since Mr. Smarty Pants seems to know the direction.

"What a birdbrain."Honcho hissed and look to his left where the windows were fixed and where the sun shines brightly.

"What did you say?!"Wakiya stopped, turning to Honcho before they started to argue and shout at each other. Their voices echoing along the corridor making Daigo felt uncomfortable every time their voices rose each sentence.

Until...

Mr. Hayato walk pass Daigo and I to stop Honcho and Wakiya from fighting.

They both froze, staring at Mr. Hayato in terror for he was such a scary subject teacher for Mathematics. Wakiya pouts, glancing at Honcho as if he was giving him death threats to scar him for life.

"What's all the fuss?"Mr. Hayato uttered, giving them a slight grin before pulling their ears with force.

"A..oww! Oww! We're sorry! Alright! We'll stop fighting!"They both said in chorus.

I glanced at Daigo who seems to calmed down a bit since the cat and dog started to disappear from where we are standing.

"Well, I found a faster way to reach the gym. Follow me."Daigo turned to the opposite direction and walked calmly down the corridor.

I didn't hesitate to follow him since I don't wanna catch up with Wakiya and Mr. Hayato who seems to be in a bad mood.

"Are we taking the south wing? I heard the doors were closed there."I uttered silently. All I can hear this time was my voice and our footsteps.

"Well yeah it was closed but it wasn't locked. So we can still take the hallway."Daigo smiled, glancing at me then back at the corridor.

"How do you know about that?"My voice sounds excited. Of course I was curious and I wanna find out what's inside that corridor or passageway since I haven't been there ever since Honcho just pulled me away from the door when it was slightly opened.
