VCPD ( Virtua Cop Police Detective)

The True Friendship Bond

A month since Ibby's death.

Since Ibby's departure, I've become a little quiet. This month, I continue to blame myself. I'm still in shock. But Igarashi, Aso, Shika, Lee and Hakken always comforted me and always said that it wasn't my fault.

Ibby, I missed you.

"He did it again." Igarashi whispered to Aso.

"I think Shin really lost Ibby" Aso said.

"It's not just him who lost Ibby. We are all too." said Shika.

"He still blames himself. Poor Shin." I heard Lee say.

They all walked up to me sitting in class looking at the VCPD photo.

"Hi, Shin. Tumben in class?" hekken then sat in front of me. I smiled faintly.

"I'm just thinking about the VCPD togetherness. We were always together to solve problems. When our joy and sorrow are always together. But now. Ibby's gone." I said back to look at the photo.

"Every meeting there must be a farewell. Ibby is a good friend. Even if Ibby's gone now, that doesn't mean we should forget about him. Friendship is like History. It remains eternal and forever remembered, even though Ibby has gone far into other realms, but he is always in our hearts" said Shika who sat next to me.

"Thank you, Shika." I said.

Suddenly, many people came to the class. That's a TV crew in one of these cities. What do you want to do, huh?

"Rheu Mitzuru the Chairman of the VCPD. Please explain how you feel as a hero for killing Mamoru Takuma the serial killer?" a reporter handed me a microphone.

"My feelings?"

"I'm sorry, but we're busy. So the interview is next time ya." drive Aso friendly.

"You're Haru Aso right? How do you feel about this incident? You managed to kill the serial killer but one of your VCPD members was also killed. Can you explain your opinion?"

"I'm sorry, but we don't have much time" Shika said.

"OKAY. 5 Minutes is okay, right?" igarashi.

" Lord!" aso and Lee. Igarashi little grin.

"So they're satisfied and leave immediately. Okay?" whispered Igarashi while blinking one eye.

"We don't feel like heroes. Fighting crime is our job. We're happy that Mamoru Takuma could finally end as well. And indeed we lost one of our members, Ibby. Our friendship is like history. Remain forever and forever remembered. Ibby will always be in our hearts" said Igarashi.

"God! Those are my words." said Shika

"Okay, the interview's over. Now you guys disperse." get rid of Hakken.

"But we're not done yet." a reporter argued.

"I'm sorry, but we still have class. So for the interview this time enough to get here huh. Thank you." said Aso.

The reporters had to leave.

"Well, that's fine" said Igarashi.

...***...

I rode my motorcycle down the street in the city park. But suddenly I saw a girl beating up some thugs. And I flicked my bike, and watched it.

Waw! Great girl too. He wears a hat so I can't see his face.

Oh, but now the girl's been ganged up. I have to help her. I got off the bike and approached them.

"Hey, you!" I shouted "Didn't you guys have the guts to poke a girl who was alone?"

"You who? Don't interfere!" said one of the thugs.

"You all suck! How dare the girls. Fight me if you dare!" my challenge.

"This girl is our friend! You have nothing to do with us!" say one of those thugs.

"No way! Because those friends protect each other and not hurt." I said.

"You don't have to interfere with my problem, Shin !!" the girl looked up and looked at me sharply. It turns out she's Ava Mackenzie. That fierce and strange 3F boy.

"Ava, what's wrong with them?" my many.

"I told you this is none of your business! Go now!" expel Ava.

Heh! Fuck up! If I had known she was Ava I wouldn't have helped. I better just go.

I turned around and was about to leave.

" Ava! You finish him off!" order one of those thugs.

"Why ? That guy had nothing to do!" refute Ava.

I flicked my footsteps.

"Just do it or you're not our friend anymore!" threaten the man.

Ava did the salto and stood in front of me.

"The friends share and protect each other. Don't you realize that, Ava?"

I looked at the girl standing in front of me. He seems confused.

"Ava hurry you finish him off !!" the orders of one of them who seemed to be the frontman of those thugs.

It seems Ava seems more confused. But he was getting ready to raise his fist. I realized that the one who was going to attack me was the three fucking thugs behind me and not Ava. I turned around and repelled the thug's attack.

"You.. Wh why? Aren't you focused on Ava's attack?" ask the thug who tried to attack me earlier.

"He won't attack me!" I said.

"God! Now you're not our friend anymore! Come on guys we're leaving!" said the boss. Finally the three thugs left us.

I turned around, now Ava just looked down. He seemed to be thinking hard.

"Why? Why do you think I won't attack you, Shin?"

"Ehm, because from now on we are friends. Aye right?"

Ava looked up at me, her eyes already glazed over.

"really that? But why are you doing this, Shin?"

" I told you that. If friends protect each other, not hurt each other. And I want to be your friend. You want to be my friend?"

"Shim.. Um, Yes. I want to." he nodded and smiled.

Whoa! Whoa! It's not like Ava I see usually. Could it be that he had been wrong friends all along? To make it cold, weird, and fierce?

"You've eaten? Want to accompany me to eat ramen?"

"Can.." he replied.

He and I headed to a cafe not far from there on a motorcycle.

After we ordered ramen and warm tea.

"Why do you want to be friends with delinquents like them?" I asked while eating my ramen.

"I have no friends all this time. I moved around school a lot because my parents were often assigned here. Therefore, to make a true friend is very difficult." Ava looked out the window. "They were my first friends in Yokohama. But it seems they're just using me."

"Utilizing?" Utilizing how it means? Could Ava be p*lacur or something?

"yeah. I am a karate. I was used to fighting."

" Oh. So yeah. I guess what. Hehehe ..."

"I heard the VCPD managed to end Mamoru Takuma huh? Gee.. It's great" said Ava excitedly.

"Ah, I'm used to it!" I'm so embarrassed.

"So someone was killed too, he said?"

"Hm. Ibby was also killed in the fire."

Uh! I remember Ibby. "But I've calmed down enough now that Mamoru is gone. And this is thanks to Ibby."

"Shim! What are you doing here?" suddenly Igarashi, Aso, Shika, Hakken, and Lee arrive.

"Why be with him?" Igarashi whispered to me.

"Ehm, it just so happened that we met." I said. "Eh, Hey! But why are you all leaving without me? And I'm the only one you didn't invite?!" I told them to pretend to be angry.

"You turned off your phone?" aso syndicate.

"No." I said.

"Then why didn't you answer our call?!" ketus Lee's.

I reached into my phone. And sure enough there were 5 missed calls from Aso and Igarashi.

"I just didn't get to pick it up." I said.

"No chance not to be disturbed?" sindir Hakken's.

"Speak what you guys are? Sana quickly order food and I'll buy it this time!" I said so they wouldn't make a fuss anymore.

"Well, seriously? Our leader is in a happy mood like him." teased Lee "Ayoo eat as much!"

"Jay ..."

"Sorry interjected. But I'm allowed to go first. Thank you, Shin." Ava smile. "Excuse me."

"A, Oh ... Wait Ava!" my yelling.

"Yes, Shin."

"Call me if they're still bothering you!"

Ava just nodded and smiled. Then he left.

"What's going on? Why are you so familiar with him?" search Aso.

"Yes, she's a weird girl in our school." added Igarashi.

"Pity him. He has no friends. And from now on he's our friend."
