Chapter 1: First Blood, First Despair: Deadly Life: Part 10

I looked around to find Clara examining the body. She was looking closely at him, with the eye of a detective.

"Clara?"
"Yeah? What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Have you found anything that could be useful yet?"
"Yes. I have found out that the weapon could be either the knife in his back or the screen."
"What could that be then?" I pointed to small blood splatter on the corner of the box with the wires and DVD stuff in it.
"Hm. I'll check that then. Thank you."
"No prob."

PLING!
PLING!

I went over to Roxy next, she could be reliable.

"Yo, Roxy."
"Uh... How are ya?"
"You okay?"
"That blood... Makes me want to throw up."
"You were first here, right?"
"Yeah? Point being?"
"When did you get here?"
"Uh... Couldn't tell ya. I forgot. Remember? The 15 minutes I forget after fainting?"
"Oh. So you couldn't have seen the killer?"
"I could of... But I didn't." She sighed. "But I do know that they didn't arrive when I was there. They also didn't leave. They were sneaky."
I thought. She couldn't remember when she got there, but it must of been about 10 minutes before we got there.
"Thanks!"
"Wha-!? I was helpful, even with my memory?" I smiled at her confusion.

PLING!

Next was India. She was testing a computer... By smacking it. I ran up to her and tried to stop her.
"India! What on earth are ya doing?"
"Uh... Testing something."
I was immediately bamboozled.
"I'm punching it to see how much force was needed to shove something the size of Tweety's head into a computer. And luckily, my fist is a great size!" She continued to punch it. As soon as I left her, I heard the shattering of the screen. When I turned around, India was standing next to the broken screen with a worried look on her face.

"What was that all about!?" Flame called out from across the room.
"Well... Now we know that glass is quite hard to break. Tweety would of had to of been shoved in there."
This seems important.

PLING!

Hm... I should go out of the room. That's where Kashikoi and Orokana went. When I left, I could hear their voices. They sounded like they were arguing. I couldn't understand what they were saying, so it was lucky that May-lin came out of the room as well.

"Huh?"
"May-lin? What are they saying?"
She listened to the conversation and started translating. She was the only person available to translate right now. I knew that the twins, May-lin and Clara could all speak Japanese; Clara was busy and the twins were the ones arguing. May-lin started putting on voices for the two girls.

"Orokana-chan! Why did you keep this a secret?"
"I'm sorry, okay! I didn't want you to know!"
"You didn't want me to know? Well, now I do! You lied to me for all this time! You said they were on a really long holiday! But no, you lied. They are dead."
"Please, Kashi-"
"MUMMY-SAN AND DADDY-SAN ARE DEAD! THINK ABOUT THAT! You lied... You..."
"No! I wanted you to not worry! I knew all along, but telling you would be earth-shattering to you!"
"It's obviously earth-shattering... Bye... Orokana... San."

Kashikoi walked away from her sister and passed us, probably to go to her room.
"Bellatrix-san. May-lin-chan."
Orokana tried to chase her but stopped when she got to me and May-lin.

"You listened to the entire thing, huh. If you really want to know... Buckle up."

She took a deep breath in and started a story.

"When I and Kashikoi were 4 years old, a great tragedy overtook Japan. Volcanos, Earthquakes, Tsunamis, everything. My parents, Seiko and Chihiro were scientists at the royal laboratory. They ran from their lab to our little home. A volcano had just erupted, causing debris to fly everywhere. A rock the size of a piano was about to fall onto my dad. My mother..." She paused. This seemed like a sensitive subject. "She protected Dad... She pushed him out of the way, throwing her wand out at the same time. She was crushed, but Dad and the wand were safe. Dad and I knew what had happened when we saw the large blood splatter on the rock. Kashikoi didn't know what was going on. She tried asking Mum to wake up from underneath the rock. Obviously, she failed."
She paused again.
"Dad knew he was going to die, so he gave Kashikoi Mum's wand and he gave me his wand. He told us to open a portal to someone who will help. He pushed us through, knowing that would be the last time we'd see him. As the portal was shutting, I saw some rocks aiming for his head. This was the end for our parents. Now the only 2 people from that alternate Japan is me and Kashikoi." When she stopped speaking, a small line of tears appeared on the left side of her face. The line grew.

I placed my hand on her shoulder. "We can help you..." I leaned in to hug. She reflected the hug. May-lin sighed and looked at us.

Let's go inside. Look for more clues. Look for more evidence.
