"Where were you yesterday, Shin?" todong Aso when he was at school "Grandfather Kekaishi was looking for you, he called me and I said you were staying at my house. Your number can't be reached either."
"Ah you are indeed my best friend, Aso!" I hugged Aso teasing her.
"Issh you are!" Aso pushed my body. I even laughed amusedly. Sometimes I like flirting with my best friend.
"Where did Shin go yesterday?" ask Igarashi.
"Actually, last night I was stuck in the Chemistry Lab with Ava. My phone's running out of battery, and Ava's not carrying a cell phone."
"What?" tanya Shika, Aso, Igarashi, Lee, and Hakken in unison.
"You were alone all night in the lab?" ask Aso.
"B ... Yes .." I said as I stared at them one by one.
"Then, you didn't do anything, did you?" look Lee narrowed his eyes.
"Ehm, Actually .." There's the hell. That kiss.
"What actually?" igarashi asked while looking at me seriously.
"Don't you do that last night?" Hakken suspected me.
"It ... That's what?" tanyaku.
"That's a tuh ..." Hakken looked at me while raising both eyebrows. "Aging all night with nothing to bother. You and Ava must have done something."
"What the hell?! It's not what you think it is!" I said a little sewot.
"So what happened last night?" Shika followed suspiciously as well. Hadeh!
"Yach. Me and Ava are just making dried flowers. I happen to find silica gel in the lab." I explained.
"Nothing else?" search Igarashi again as if not satisfied to hear my answer just now.
"Nothing! Why do you guys suspect me like that?!" I said a little upset.
"Well, what a pity. That I was stuck with a girl all night. I'll eat him that night, too. Geezahaha.." Hakken laughed out loud.
I threw my bag at Hakken "But you pervert!" I said kidding.
"But Shin, by the way Ava has not been to school for 3 days" Lee said. "That's what makes us suspicious of you. What kind of kid did you have until you didn't get in 3 days try?"
"Ava who didn't come in, why am I suspected anyway ?" my ketus.
"Hehe. Sory. We believe you." Igarashi patted my shoulder.
By the way, why didn't Ava come in today 3 days? What's up, huh?
"Shin, I got some weird news" Shika said with a serious face.
"What news?" sahutku.
"Then I went to Ibby's. His sister told me. He said the body found was not Ibby's body" Shika said slowly.
"You can't make it up!" sahut Aso's.
"I'm not lying. His sister must have recognized him very well even though the body was already on fire" Shika said again.
"We only had 7 at the time. I, Igarashi, Lee, Hakken, and Aso survived. There were 2 bodies burned. If not Ibby, then whose body is it ? It was Ibby burning with Mamoru Takuma." I said looking away.
It's hard to accept Ibby's departure. But this news makes no sense.
"But the corpse was not wearing a crescent-moon pendant necklace. If it was Ibby, it would have been a necklace!" said Shika.
"But Ibby's watch was found on the body. Nevermind! Ibby's gone. You should be able to accept all of this, Shika." said Aso.
I got up and left them.
"I have business." I said and left.
I want to go to my secret place. Backyard of school. Not my secret place anymore, because they must have known that I like to spend time here after school.
I lay on the grass under a big tree. I looked at the clouds in the sky. The sky today is so bright. This kind of atmosphere makes me sleepy sometimes.
I remembered Shika's words.
What the hell did Shika say? Is ibby alive? Is that true?
But what if it's true? Hah, yes I'm certainly very happy donk. But that's impossible! Ibby is gone. And I'm sure he's happy there. Because thanks to him, Mamoru Takuma is over.
I glanced at the watch that was coiled in my left hand. "It's 5 o'clock?" I got up and was about to leave the place but suddenly someone called me from behind.
"Shim!" his yell.
I flicked my steps and looked back. I saw Ava standing straight in front of me about 5 meters away.
Then he ran towards me and suddenly hugged me. What's going on ? I who was hugged was very shocked and confused.
"Ava. Where the hell have you been? You haven't been to school for 3 days. You worry me." Ielus and I kissed her scented hair.
"Shin, can I ask you something?" he said he still hugged me.
"What's? Say it!" I said slowly.
"I want you to disband the VCPD!" he took off his arms and looked at me seriously. It makes me very surprised and also very confused.
"What are you talking about, Va?" I just don't understand that request.
"Disperse VCPD!" said slowly. "You want to do it for me, don't you, Shin?"
This really makes me very confused. I won't be able to do that easily. But, what exactly is Ava's purpose for doing this?
"You want Shin to do it for me?" Ava repeated her question and showed me her cat eyes. I really don't know what to do right now.
"Ava, I can't do it that easily. Because the VCPD was under grandfather's control." I said at last. It does. It was the grandfather who was fully authorized over the VCPD.
"So you don't want to do it?" he said like a desperate man. Ava looked down and her eyes were already glazed over.
"Nlt ... Isn't that. But ..."
"Okay, now I have 2 options for you. You disband the VCPD or I'll finish you off?"
I was very surprised to hear what he said just now. What exactly is going on?
"Which one did you choose, Shin?" ask again.
"Ava, what's going on? Why are you suddenly like this?"
"You promised me enough to disband the VCPD. That's all!" his yell.
"Ava, relax!"
"Well, if you don't want to." Ava wiped her tears. Then he was very quick to do the salto and he was already behind me. He floated a knife and hit my left arm.
I really don't understand him. And why can't I fight him?
"Araghh! Just do what you want!" my yelling. He did the salto again and managed to injure my stomach.
"You're really gonna end up in Shin's hands." Ava raised her knife again and injured my left shoulder. That's how he kept attacking me, while I didn't fight back and didn't even avoid him.
"Just do it if it's your will." I said slowly.
On the next attack, I saw him hesitating. He was about to attack me again, but he didn't.
