A/n wanna know something I'm really bad at numbering chapters it went from like 7 or 8 to 11 like wow I'm so good at counting. Anyway on to the chapter.
Kokichi pov
I wake up on the floor a blanket over me. Carpet? I have hardwood floors, oh that's right I'm at Shumai's.
I then remember my little overreaction that happened yesterday and facepalm. "Wow I'm stupid, you know he's a fucking detective! I mean seriously it was a cabinet full! Do you really think he'd leave it open if he was planning on killing you? Get yourself together Kokichi, you are Kokichi Ouma ultimate supreme leader and you won't let a little poison get the better of you!"
During my pep-talk/ self chastisement I got dressed, headed downstairs, rummaged through the fridge, and started making French toast. In about thirty minutes I have four plates laid out with a side of hash-browns and a single fried egg over top it. I place a toast next to the two sides and wake everyone up before it gets cold.
"Wakey, Wakey French toast and no bakey!" I yell into the two bedrooms. After two minutes of a family of heavy sleepers I pull out the air horn. "Why do I always have to use this thing." I mumble before closing my ear and pressing the button.
In another minute everyone is downstairs.
"What was that for?" Shumai asks in a sleep filled voice. "Well firstly I made breakfast and secondly you guys didn't wake up with my nice wake up call which I planned for a while two seconds" I pout at him for a second before jumping up, remembering that I shouldn't be jumping, then sitting down to enjoy my wonderfully cooked breakfast.
*Time skip to after breakfast*
"Shuichi I need to talk to you let's take a walk." "Huh? O-okay."
We get outside the door and walk for a while in silence me smiling with my hands behind my head the entire time, once we get far enough from his house I stop and look at him.
"I dragged you out here in the treacherous sun to formally apologize for yesterday. I understand that I overreacted and took it too far-" "I'm gonna cut you off there. You don't have to apologize I understand you were scared." "Yeah for no reason. I mean seriously you are a detective you work with poison basically on the daily! But nooo my little bullied brain decides that my boyfriend is the one who wants me dead! I thought I was smarter than this but holy hell I guess not. So as I was saying. I'm sorry for being a whiny little brat that thinks people care enough to try and kill me. This concludes my apology." "Koki what the fuck?" "What? Did I not say what needed to be said?" "It's not that, that apology was so...... self hating?" "Well did you expect different?" "I don't know I guess I sorta did?" "Shocking. Well since it's Saturday I need to go to D.I.C.E. I'll see you later!" "Bye I guess."

I run in the direction of my not-so-secret secret organization. I facepalm again. Wow you sure are great at communicating. You say sorry than run off. Whatever he probs has detective things to do. I reach the doors of D.I.C.E. and step inside the first door, grabbing my cape, hat, and mask and head through the second set of doors.
Shuichi pov
Well that was odd. I walk back to my house and go up to my room grabbing a new case file and flipping through it. Hmmm the murder of famous traditional dancer Hiyoko Saionji. Let's see what we have here. I look through it and the pictures are brutal I don't even want to describe it. She's basically mutilated and her clothing is ripped and thrown aside. Let's just read it shall we? Hmm found on the side of the road, no weapon found at the scene of the crime, cause of death: strangulation? I get up and go to mom.
"Hey mom in this case you, well you see the body but the uhm, the cause of death is strangulation." "Shuichi you know my detective days are over but I suppose I could take a quick look. Leave it on the desk and I'll get back to you in an hour and did Kokichi take a lunch with him?" "I'm not sure but he has money." "Okay how about you go out with your friends, if Kokichi gets back before you I'll tell him where you are." "Alright thanks mom!" I announce while walking out the door.
A/n sorry for the short chapter but I felt like I needed to get one out before this week starts completely because I have a show on Tuesday for my theatre class. Wish me luck!
