Chapter 24
The stress was becoming unbareable for everyone in Tokyo. All the newspapers and tv programes were talking about Toma and Mao's deaths, making all the singers and actors from Japan to fear. Soon, all the people from the japanese capital, starting with school boys and girls and ending with grandfather, knew about what was going on with the now faimous murderer. No matter how hard Johnny had tried to cover it up, he couldn't do anything about it. The horror was growing up with each minute that was passing. And it only grew when Ohno had confessed at a meeting with all the company, that they had send Nino to jail.
"Kazunari was the criminal?" the president asked, amazed and confussed.
"Well, everyone seams to proof that yes. But we are just waiting. Right now Nino is in jail. If he really isn't the criminal, the murders will go on. So if there is a new victim any time soon, that means it wasn't him." Shun explained.
"Well, are you guys insane or what?!" Johnny screamed. "We can't just stay like idiots and wait for someone else to die!"
"We are not exactly staying, sir! We already have a private detective who is helping us." Aiba said.
"You do?" Yamapi asked.
"Yes." Jun said. "His name is Akemi, Toma was his cousin. He came to us last night, after we gave Nino to the police. He offered himself to help us solve this case. Appearantly, him and Toma were closer than brothers. He said he will not rest until the murderer of his cousin won't be dead or behind bars."
"And? Did he discovered something?" Tackey asked curious.
"No. We went with him this morning in the place where Toma was found and at the abandoned factory where we found Mao but we couldn't find anything. No finger prints, no evidence, not even one hair of that damn jerk. Nothing. And the notes that he has send to us, the damn riddles, they are written on the computer so we don't even have his hand writting." Shun explained.
"We are dealing with a real professional here..." Tsubasa said, moving in his chair a bit nervous. "Damn it, guys... Until that idiot isn't found and locked away, I won't be able to sleep anymore."
"Whoever the fucking criminal is, it is not Kazu. My love wouldn't have done this!" Takahisa said, getting up annoyed and hitting the table with his hands.
"Look what. First of all, your relationship with Nino is all a lie. Cause he is in love with Ohno!" Jun said annoyed.
"I know and I don't give a shit about it!"Takahisa said loud. "I love Nino... I love him with all my heart. And is true that he has his bad parts as anyone dose. And he can be mean and stupid and annoying sometimes... But he is not a murderer! You said you have no proof. Then how can you suspect him?"
"It's hard to get and you wouldn't understand if I'd try to explain it to you..." Jun said, leaving his head down.
Everyone with a bit of brain would have thought he was insane if he would have said that Nino's magic twin from The Mirror World was saving up people which had to mean that Nino was killing them. It bearly made any sense to him that he saw it. The others would have just recomend him a good psychologist.
"Don't come with idiot stories to me and spit it out right now! Why did you threw Nino in jail?" Takahisa screamed.
"Both of you, calm the fuck down!" Johnny said loud, making Takahisa and Jun to stop talking but stare hatefuly at each other.
"However!" Shun said, to end up with the painful silence. "Akemi told us, that even if it's not Nino, the murderer must be someone from our company. So until we find out exactly who it was, all of you are suspects. Including you, sir." he added, turning to look at Johnny.
"You are suspecting me?" the man said annoyed.
"Don't take it as a insult. We don't have anything yet. And Nino is my friend and all I want is to trust that he is not the murderer!" Jun said, staring at Takahisa. "I just hope this nightmare will soon end..."
"Oh, I think the nightmare is just about to begin..." Kazuya said.
"And why do you say that, Kamen? You know something about the killer?" Ohno asked.
"No. But the last message you guys received from him was saying that there are 8 left. So I believe that he won't stop until he kills all the 10 people he had planned to kill." Kazuya explained.
"He might be right..." Shun agreed.
"In any case, you guys take care of yourself. Make sure the guards are watching over you 24 hours a day and always watch your back. Cause this guy can be anyone, including your best friend!" Jun said, looking to everyone who was gathered there.

"No, this sure is boring... What the fuck..." Nino said, while staring at the ceiling and smoking a cigarette.
He was sharing a small and annoying jail cell with two men he knew nothing about. But he didn't cared to find something about them either. They were completely intexistent in his vision. He just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. That was all he was thinking about.
"Dude, I still can't believe we are here with Kazunari Ninomiya from Arashi!" one of the men said.
"Well give me your t-shirt fast to sign it now cause I won't be here for long." Nino said, on a cold tone.
"Why are you here anyway?" the other man asked.
"I am acussed of Ikuta Toma and Inoue Mao's death." Nino said in short.
"You really killed them?" the first man said, making some few steps closer.
"Of course not, you idiot! Is just that my friends don't trust me." Nino said a bit annoyed. "But they will be sorry. When that real mother-fucking jerk of a murderer will strike again, they will know it was not me."
"Yeah, you're right. If you really are innocent there is nothing to worry about."
"Well, I am innocent. And I'll prove it to them. And maybe I'll really become a killer. Because I sure feel like killing Jun for doing this to me!" Nino said, on a hateful voice.
----
"Did you thought any of them looked doubtful?" Ohno asked Jun.
They were in the car, going back home and talking. The meeting didn't helped any of them at all. It actually just made them feel worse. Not only that Takahisa was hating them all, but also, everyone, including their president, seamed to be terrified.
"No... They all just looked scared to me..." Jun said.
"Let's not forget that they are all actors. And good ones." Aiba said.
"That is a very good point of view, my love..." Shun said, taking Aiba's hand in his.
"Do you guys think that... the criminal will kill us too?" Aiba asked, with his voice shivering a bit.
"No, relax, cause if that idiot touches you I will make sure to send him in Hell with a one way ticket!" Shun said, tighting his grip on Aiba's hand.
"I don't even know if it will make me happy or not to find out Nino is innocent. Cause if he is innocent, it means he'll hate us for not trusting him. And it also means that we have not even one single clue of who the real murderer is." Ohno said.
"I know what you mean..." Jun agreed.
Jun left the car in front of the house and they all got out, spending a minute to talk to their bodyguards and find out if there had been anything happening while they were gone. After finding out that nothing suspecious happened, they entered inside, trying to relax. But they couldn't. Cause after less then ten minutes, the door bell rang and Nino's father entered the house like a storm as soon as Ohno opened him.
"I have something important to talk to you guys about." he said hard.
They all looked at each other. It was so obvious what Nino's father had came there to talk about... They were all feeling guilty and didn't knew how to explain themselves.
"My son called me last night, crying his heart out and telling me that you guys had send him to prison for a crime he didn't do. I went to the police station to free him and the officer told me that he is being acused by Matsumoto Jun for double murderer and they can't set my son free if Jun dosn't take his accusations back. Now you guys tell me what the hell happened and you tell me now!" the man screamed.
"The car! Yeah. The car. The car is not parked well. We'll go park it. Come on." Aiba said fast, grabbing Shun's hand and pulling him to the door.
"You traidors..." Jun said, watching them getting out.
"Tell me what happened, Jun!" Nino's father said.
"Look, mister Ninomiya... Kazu is our princile suspect in the case of death of Toma and Mao..." Jun said. "I can't tell you why we suspect him, but, if the criminal isn't him, we'll take him out of there imediatly."
"Look what, Jun. I don't know what kind of education your parents gave you and I don't care about it either. But I have teached my son to be a good man. He may be all you want, stubborn, stupid, crazy sometimes, but he is not a murderer!" the man insisted. "Do you guys remember that few years ago my son went to California?"
"Yes, of cours we remember." Jun said.
"Do you know what he did there?" Nino's father asked.
"Oh, I know! Don't tell me cause I know! Of course! He went to Disneyland and he gave a kiss to Mickey Mouse!" Ohno said with a big smile.
Nino's father raised his eyebrow and Jun covered his face in his hands, which made Ohno realize he had said something stupid. So he just stopped smily and took a serious face, crossing his arms on his chest.
"What did Nino do there, sir?" he asked.
"He helped. He made a big money donation to a hospital that is helping people who have strong and severe illnesses." Nino's father said. "If my son would really be a murderer, why would he want to save lifes?"
"We don't know sir. We would really wish to know if Nino really is the criminal. And if he is, why he did what he did. But we don't know why..." Ohno said, letting his head down.
"I don't care what you guys do and how you will solve your problems. But if something bad happens to my son, I will be the new criminal you'll have to catch, cause I will kill all 4 of you!!"
After saying tht, Nino's father just left, as angry and rough as he had appeared. Jun closed his eyes and felt in his knees, starting to cry. He hated all that was happening... He just wished he could have a new life. A life with no problems or suffering. But he knew that it was impossible. And that they had much better things to do right then beside from crying like idiots and hoping it will all be fine. Cause he had a strange feeling in his chest, that everything was going to be very far from being fine...
