Detective work. (Saiouma/Oumasai)

Questions.

Kokichi stared down at Shuichi, who he was now on top of. Kokichi felt flustered being this close to the detectives face, but he maintained his ground.  "Now now, Saihara-Chan. Let me question you?" Shuichi glared. "Get off of me." He shot those words, then shoved Kokichi off of him. He grabbed kokichi by his bandana, and placed him back onto the chair. "You're so light," Said Shuichi. "You shouldn't fight me." Shuichi instructed Kokichi to put out his hands so he could tie them together. Shuichi backed up from the tied up criminal, admiring his capture. "Now Ouma, let's get to the chase. Why do you run this organization?" Kokichi blinked. "Because..I like to bring people down! My entire purpose is to spread evil!" Shuichi stared at Kokichi. The purple haired man was very short and fragile. He looked like he couldn't hold much physical power. Shuichi took a breath. "Ouma, tell the truth." Kokichi tilted his head. "Waddaya' mean? That is the truth!" Shuichi shook his head. "No, Mr. Ouma. It is not the truth." Kokichi scoffed. "That's the truth." Shuichi walked over to Kokichi and put a hand on his shoulder. "Do you have any sort of family, Ouma?" Kokichi's breath stopped. "F..Family..?" Shuichi briefly nodded. Kokichi lifted his foot in the direction of a cabinet stored with supplies in the corner of the basement. "Family..family.." Shuichi took a reluctant step back. "Ouma? Are you okay?" Kokichi began to shake in the chair. "Cabinets..family..food..family..bat.." Shuichi ran over and quickly untied the ropes. He helped Kokichi off the chair and held him up by his waist and wrist. "Ouma please calm down." Shuichi carried Kokichi over to the matress at the corner of the room, and gently placed the fragile man down. He took off his coat, and used it as a blanket for Kokichi. Kokichi was still slightly trembling, but the warmth of Shuichi's jacket calmed him a little bit. Kokichi started to cry, remembering his families abusive actions towards him. While he was crying, he felt fingers rub through his thin, purple hair. They were Shuichi's, and the detective was trying to comfort the distraught criminal. Shuichi heard faint footsteps, as Kyoko walked into the basement, shutting the door behind her. She took a glance at the resting Kokichi, then sighed. "Mr. Saihara, why are you treating Ouma?" Shuichi gave a serious look. "Because there's a bit more to Ouma than we analyzed," Shuichi walked over to the counter and sat on it. "Ouma seems to have very obvious trauma that causes these actions." Kyoko nodded. "I can see that. I also do not think he is a 'supreme leader of evil' like he talks about. He just seems like a fragile young man." Shuichi sighed. "He claims to be evil but he lost against that card game with you, right..?" Kyoko nodded briefly. "There's without a doubt something deeper here." 


After that chat, Kyoko promised not to tell the manager about this. Shuichi walked back over to Kokichi, who was still resting peacefully, and didn't know what to do. It wouldn't be long until the manager came down to check on him, but hopefully Kyoko had his back. Shuichi bent down and stared at Kokichi's peaceful face, that was resting. He sighed, knowing that this Kokichi wasn't just some evil heartless monster. He was..a human. Shuichi whispered under his breath. "Just what are you, Ouma..?" Shuichi took a deep breathe and walked over to his desk in the basement. He picked up his clipboard and a pen, and he began to write;

The criminal we have found today is Ouma Kokichi. Ouma is the leader of a organization around the world that goes by the name of D.I.C.E. We managed to capture Ouma today via a sneak attack after a loss in a game of cards. After successfully knocking him out, we brought him to our base where we tied him up in the basement. I was ordered to question him on his choices, but when asking about family, Ouma seemed to have a freak out reaction, causing him to pass out. I've lay him down on a mattress here in the basement where he can rest until he's awake again, but I am heavily worried. Ouma seems to be a reeal person who had an unfortunate turn of events in his life, causing him to mask this fake little evil personality. I do believe that there is truly more to Ouma than what meets the eye. I really hope to get to know this guy better. I think we could be good friends.

Shuichi set down his clipboard and took a breath. Suddenly, he heard a high voice behind him.

"Watcha' writin', Saihara-Chan?"

"Gyaaahhhh!!"

Shuichi jumped out of his desk chair and fell onto the ground. Kokichi stood above him laughing. "Hahahaaaah! I got you so good!" Shuichi sat up and laughed. "Hahah!" Kokichi stopped smiling. "H..Huh..?" Shuichi stood up and put both his hands on Kokichi's shoulders. "You got me, Ouma." Kokichi felt his face become hot, and he pulled his bandana over his nose. "I..I sure did.." Shuichi tilted his head. "Are..you okay, Ouma?" Kokichi nodded, and walked away. He sat on the concrete floor and took a breath. "Saihara-Chan..I feel like you're the only person I can be honest with," "Huh?" Kokichi looked up at Shuichi, who was standing against his desk. "I'm a liar, I've been on that shit since..for as long as I can remember." Shuichi nodded. "I heard in the papers. You were a so called a master liar." Kokichi nodded his head in subtle agreement. "I am a liar. I just don't want to lie anymore. I've piled up so many lies that me myself doesn't even know what's the truth anymore." Shuichi spoke. "Hold on- Th-the truth is very important to me! Honesty is something I need more than anything!" Kokichi stood up. "I know it is. I know how important honesty is to you." Kokichi held out his hand with a smile, and Shuichi took a small step forward. "That's why I think it's time I change teams, isn't it? I'm tired of lying and you're tired of my lies. So what do you say, Saihara-Chan? Can you help me make a change?" Shuichi stared at Kokichi's small, pale hand. He wanted to accept the offer, but he didn't know the costs. "I think you're clever, Saihara-Chan. I want to run away with you, I know how much you hate it here, and I hate it at my place too. Come on, let's run away. Together." Shuichi swallowed. He slowly put his hand on Kokichi's and nodded. Kokichi held Shuichi's hand.

"Y..You're right Ouma..Let's do it.."

"Alright. Let's go."
