"Hey, Who ever said YOU were Sherlock Holmes?" Red said playfully as he gently nailed him in the arm laughing before running up a little ways and pausing. "Come on, there's no time to spare!" He called smiling. Then he paused and glanced at the bird on his shoulder. He tilted his head curiously and patted him gently another smile appearing on his features. "Yo, H, what ARE these wonderful creatures names anyway?" R asked curiously subconsciously reaching up and petting the bird. "OH! And I feel just like a pirate with him on my shoulder!" R giggled to himself quietly.

Ian felt himself smile cynically from H's remark for a quick second before it fled his face as fast as it had came. "Oh? No... It's fine." Ian whispered looking up at C. "It's understandable situation, if I say I can hardly walk, then naturally you were going to help me completely." As I talked he still sounded a little out of it, and deep in thought. He glanced up and watched R frolic and play, the happiness radiating off of him forcing I to smile slightly himself. It looked fun being that carefree and happy, it was so weird how R could be this way in such a bad situation. Even though they both look pretty happy and playful, I know they can take care of themselves. After all, if not, then I have a feeling even though R is B's brother he wouldn't let an innocent life die. Ian sighed and faced H. Better be safe then sorry though, I don't think I could ever forgive myself if something was to happen to both of them, though the chances are slim... Maybe a mere 5%. "Guys, you be careful too, alright? Remember, there IS still a killer out there, weather it be B or not, both of you be careful. We don't want you to end up another statistic in the death polls."  Then I glanced back up at C and nodded toward the door. "Come on, let's get this over with so we can hurry up and get back..."

Haiku scoffed and looked at R like the answer was obvious.

"Because I SAID I am, that's why." He joked, jogging after the other just to lightly slap him on the back of the head.

A small startled chirp caused Haiku to glance down. He smiled and shook his head at the smug and gleeful look on Gil's face as Red reached up to pet his head. 

"Well, that idiot sitting on your shoulder is Gil. He seems to like you. Then again, he's an attention hog, so that plays a big part in who he decides to hang around with..."

Gil took up an affronted look and shuffled closer to R's neck in a show of taking sides with the nice guy who wasn't insulting his awesome self. Roddy just chirp-sighed softly from his perch on H's own shoulder.

"...This is Roddy. He's much more mature than Gil. And Kio... Where did he go?"

The grey tabby had disappeared, probally to go hunt some birds he could actually hurt without getting reprimanded for it.

"Eh... He'll be fine."

The soft sound of I's voice caused Haiku to turn back and smile confidantly.

"We'll be fine! We're awesome, after all~ But, ya know, we'll be careful. Don't worry about us too much~ Right, R?"

He slung an arm over the other's shoulder (barely missing Gil, who's feathers were ruffled in alarm) and made a peace sign with his free hand.

(Don't feel bad. Your post was epic compaired to this fail right here. xD)

(Tis no prob. Go ahead~ I was actually thinking as I worte that whole 'He'll be okay', 'What if he gets killed by Blue? Like on Harry Potter! :D'

Yeah, I'm a nerd. >>

But, you have my full permission to kill Kio. He gets on my nerves anyways. x3)

"Right then," C sighed, then started hobbling over to the party room, clinging to I so he wouldn't fall. If he did, it would be C's fault and he'd be all D colon face. But, of course, Cade would never let anyone in his care get hurt. In I's case: he wouldn't let anyone get hurt again. But some thing about I made him wonder if he was faking all the "pain" he was experiencing because of that doorslam in the face. Possibly, he was just exaggerating so he could take advantage of R's guilt. He might be using R and H to do his dirtywork, and they might not even know it. Maybe, I was the killer and he was pretending to be all, "I'm gonna catch the killer!" so the suspicion would be pointed to someone.

Ian felt himself smile slightly watching the two act like close brothers. Though then again, either one could still be the killer, and he had to remember to not rule that out just yet- hell, he could have even be giving himself over to the killer if it was C. But Ian knew he could take care of himself, and all his 'high' suspicion was on B himself. Ian sighed gently his eyes watching C every now and then. "Thank you C." He found himself whispering right before they entered the Party Room. L watched them enter, a bored but serious look on his face. "What took you so long, C? Where is B, R, and H?" L instantly questioned him as soon as they entered a small disappointed look on his face. All the kids turned around to face C curiously, there eyes wide from all the blood Ian's nose had been losing. L followed there gaze finally looking at Ian and noticed the blood rather quickly. "And what happened?" He asked nodding toward Ian. " It's fine, L-sama." I said quietly smiling apologetically. "When you sent R after us, he opened the door as soon as I was behind it and nailed me in the nose." L looked at I suspiciously as if he didn't believe the story, I mean, he believed it but the fact that I was acting like it had hurt that bad made it seem a little vague and strange. Maybe Ian has planed something and has found something very strange... They're all getting ahead of the rest of the kids- I must remember this when the case has been solved. L glanced up at Watari and summoned him by his side and whispered in his ear. "Remind me that R,B,H,C, and I have all had a head start from the rest of the kids." Watari nodded and L nodded toward Ian once more. "I take it you we're getting C to take you to the infirmary?"
"Yes sir." Ian whispered quietly and then glanced at the even more anxious kids and sighed quietly knowing L wasn't going to let him go until they had finished all the questions. "B went to go look for H, and R went to go search for the rest of them, sadly, they haven't returned, but I don't think anything has happened to them, especially with that many loose. L-sama, Why don't you go ahead and finish what you were saying? We'll come to you once everyone has returned so you can give us the briefing?" I couldn't believe he was lying for them, but alas, he didn't want H and R summoned to the room just yet, especially with them going to check up on B for him while he and C are in trapped in the infirmary to go check out his broken nose that actually did hurt like hell. Him and L had a long stare down, and Ian knew what hs mentor was doing, which was exactly what he had feared- L was looking for any kind of strange behavior, or to see if he was lying. I refused to let himself be given away just yet and watched him as well, waiting to see if L could tell if he was lying or not. Within time L eventually looked away shrugging. "I guess I don't really have a choice, we're just wasting time. Alright I, I'll take your story- feel free to go to the infirmary and get that nose patched up, come see me and Watari when you two are finished." He nodded quietly.

I refused to let out a sigh of relief just yet, not until they were out of the room and safe from prying ears. He was shocked that L actually believed him and that he had actually managed to get away with LYING to the World's Greatest Detective. In many ways, I was very proud of himself, but he also felt horrid for lying to his Mentor. Though he knew if he was to give way to the shock L would quickly find out that it was a lie. So gently I looked up allowing C to see the rush in his eyes. "Come on H, let's hurry up and get back so we can see what L needed to tell us." Obviously this was another act of pure innocence. I... I can't believe it... I... I just got away with lying.... Lying to my mentor... No.. Lying to L... The World's Greatest Detective! T... The chances were so slim- but it actually helped, it actually worked! This was an alarming reminder to Ian that he needed to be careful and suspect everyone, because even the lower chances could happen. He took a deep breath feeling the urge to shake his head. This is bad, I don't need to let my guard down any more, that's it, Ian, don't get to close to these people, act just like myself! Everyone is a suspect- this is a game of Clue, and everyone is a suspect, you need to find the murder weapon now, and the clues to who it might be, and begin crossing it off until what's finally left is the murder. Ian's large black eyes was looking at the ground, and again, he seemed lost in his own mind; just like L.

R smiled his wide and innocent smile. "Right!" And then watched as they left and laughed quietly, playfully pushing H off of him. "Heh, well you know what I have to say to THAT H? Forget you!Oh! But your pets have such cool names!" He laughed quietly and continued walking forward. "So tell me something H, seriously speaking now..." R's tone changed quiet dramatically, from happy-go-lucky to quiet and reserved, and even a little bit of worriedness? "What's your honest opinion on my brother being the Killer? I'm quiet curious now... And don't worry, no matter what you say I'll still gladly be your friend~." As R added the last part he looked behind his shoulder and smiled warmly, even though he thought that H could honestly care less if R was his friend or not- that's how it was here, at the Wammy House... No one simply cared and had all there happiness and joy stolen away from them in a competition to become the World's Greatest Detective, without a choice or say in it. It was rare to find some people that actually cared like H and C, he couldn't actually say anything about I, he really didn't know the guy, but he did seem to act a lot like L, but in a more peaceful and welcoming way, he wasn't as cold as L acted. That I... He already suspects my brother, I need to watch out for him or else he'll suspect me too... Though if he wasn't so analytical, then I have a feeling I'd be able to open him up and become his friend. And besides that; I'm just happy that I've made a new friend! After so many years of friendlessness I finally have one. Yay! Though... Enough with this sickening happiness, I has managed to but doubt about my own brother inside of me, curse him! I mean... I love my brother- but what would I do if he was the killer- could I really turn him in or would I help defend him if he called out to me?...

Blue continued to eat his ice cream uncaring, lost in his own thoughts about the next death. (S'cuse me if a powerplay Kio a little bit, and if you don't like it, I'll just get rid of it, no prob. xD) When suddenly he felt something rub against his leg. Slowly he looked down and realized it was a cat. He tilted his head curiously and watched it as it continued, mewling at him, wanting him to pet it. "Hmph." Blue scoffed at the cats stupid behavior and continued to eat his meal. When the cat wouldn't stop rubbing up against him he looked down glaring at it. "Hey, you, stop that... I don't want to pet you- and I'm not giving you my ice cream if that's what you want." He growled. Though when the cat looked up at him, it struck a soft string in Blue's chest and he couldn't resist but to take a little bit of his ice cream off his spoon using his smallest finger, and leaning down gently holding it out for the cat to lap up off his finger. It was unusual behavior for B to show such softness to animals, especially if he was planing something, but some how, Kio had managed to strike a cord inside of him that made him want to keep the cat all to himself, especially since the cat was so beautiful.

(Well, I thought about it, Hiara, and every evil villain, B-like or not, needs a cat. xD Your choice, but I was thinking Kio could take a liking to B For some odd reason or another and actually stick around and obey B with his orders- and if Not, Imma kill Kio. >:3 I feel so harsh saying that too... I hate it when someone kills an animal.. ;-; Anyway, but yeah, just an idea. And sorry if I powerplayed him just a little.. Again if you didn't like it I could just easily take it out. xD)

( Kio was almost killed before. ;~; When Bloodless captured him and he met his twin sister... )

C listened quietly as I and L spoke, and tried to ignore all the stares they were getting from the others. I was lying. Lying to L, of all people. The world's greatest detective, and he was believing everything I said. He was probably just pretending to believe him, probably because he didn't want to argue or make a big deal out of anything. It didn't matter, though; C could care less if L decided he wasn't going to make a scene. He would rather that everyone just minded their own business, as they would know everything that had happened earlier. And from that, they would gain evidence.

"Right," Cade nodded, then wobbled off to the infirmary. It was fairly difficult to walk with I's arm slung over his neck and his own arm thrown over I's. He only hoped he wouldn't have to do it very often.

(I don't mind at all! I mean, Kio wasn't a very big part of my thing anyways, just an extra. Actually the only real important pet is Roddy. Though I haven't written much with him (more with Gil and Kio), he's Haiku's best pet and is actually very intelligent for a bird. He helps H out every once in a while. Gil's just there to keep him company and Kio's just a tradition. xD)

H's smile feel and he looked away.

"Ah.. yeah. First off, R, no offence, but your brother really gives me the creeps." He chuckled a bit, smiling slightly before resuming his thoughtful look, "I may be a bit over analytical, but I have to agree with him on this. Your brother... Blue.. He just... Rubs me the wrong way. There's something...off about him. He just strikes me as the type who could kill someone without remorse. I don't mean to insult him or you, but speaking from a purely detective-likepoint of view, he could easily be our litle 'Whammy's House Killer'. Not to meantion he didn't seem very squeamish about going into the kitchen with that body. ...But that's alittle hypocritical of me, huh? I mean, I was about to go eat some ice cream as well."

Haiku shrugged and looked up at R seriously.

"But, R, just... I know B's your brother and everything, but be careful okay? I'm not asking you to suspect your brother like we do. Family comes first, right? I'm just asking you to watch yourself, okay? I don't wanna see you get hurt, and I'm pretty sure neither of the other want to either."

Ther red-head fell silent once more and sighed before grinning happily, though it was tinged with a slight bit of sadness now.

"This is getting depressing! Let's just do what I asked, get some ice cream, nab your brother, and head to see what L wants." He said happily, "Then maybe we can play some video games or something. Unless you'd rather just walk about with the rest of these losers trying to solve a case without any evidence. I don't know about you, but I'd rather just hang with a friend until something new pops up. Maybe we could convince I and C to come along, if they stop being so serious~"

Haiku skipped happily down the hallway with R, a silly grin on his face from thinking about the frozen treat he was finally going to get to enjoy. Mmm.. Ice cream, ice crea, icey icey ice cream~!

Ian sighed quietly and looked at C apologetically. "My sincere apologies H." He found himself saying as he then faced the ground shaking his head. "I never knew I'd be in this sort of predicament. I swear you'll never have to do this again." His words were a little off and slurred do to his inability to talk correctly because of his broken nose.  Well, now the true game begins, Wammy Killer... We'll see how far your able to come with a house full of detectives on your tracks. It's only a matter of time...

 Red found himself laughing and nailing him in the shoulder playfully. "Riiight, but I don't think that' possible for someone like I and C!" He grinned the same stupid grin as H and laughed to himself. "Anyway, but yeah- Isn't it kind of creepy how alike L and I are?" He asked tilting his head curiously. Even though Red seemed happy and uncaring as if they had never discussed his brother, deep inside his emotions were in turmoil. He didn't know what to believe or think and found himself absentmindedly rubbing Gil gently lost in thought. Brother, you wouldn't do something like that would you?... Your not stupid or mean enough too.. Blue- I hope your not the killer- I wouldn't know WHAT to do if you were! Please don't be the killer.... To throw H off from noticing that he was lost in thought he through another smile at him and continued with the I subject. "I mean seriously, H... He looks JUST like L- do you think that.. I dunno... L ever had kids or something like that?" Red blushed and giggled at the thought shaking his head rapidly and throwing his hand sup in the air. "Ah, never mind, never mind! Forget I even MENTIONED ANYTHING about THAT." He cracked up laughing.

(Holy shizz- Isn't it kind of scary how diffrent all my cherries seem to be? How COMPLETE opposites all of them are?
Blue- Smart but a little on the Psychopathic Side. More like BB and very smart. He seems more to be a sadist then anyone else.
Red- His TWIN who is his complete opposite. He's very kind and generous and seems to be willing to do anything for anyone.
Ian- Analytical and keeps to himself. Quiet and reserved and seems to enjoy being alone.

xD i did such a good job with the castings, wouldn't ya say? :3)

Haiku banched.

"Oh my maple... Why, R!?"

He reached over and dramtically shook his companion's shoulders, fake crying the entire time.

"Why did you put such images in my head!? L is not someone who should be... making babies!"

The red head pulled off a disgusted look and made a puking gesture before grinning happily. Laughter bubbled up inside of him and H doubled over, giggling and chuckling uncontrollably. He let out a few hiccuping guffaws and wiped the tears from his eyes as he stood upright. H lightly hit R once again.

"I like you, kid~" He smiled, chuckling.

(I think you did a great job with the castings! 8D

Orz... Short responce is short! Dx)

( My twin and I aren't so different. o3o We're very much alike, and we're fraternal twins. xD
And stop calling C H! D: )

C looked up, blinking, then walked into the infirmary. "Can you read my thoughts, I? Because, that's an answer to what I was thinking about." he muttered, sitting I down on a nearby seat and walking up a woman who just happened to be the nurse. He didn't even know who she was.

"Um, ma'am," Cade murmured, tugging on the woman's sleeve. "I broke his nose."

"...I?"

"I as in Ian," Cade explained, gesturing back to Ian.

R smiled and wrapped an arm around H's shoulder doubling over and laughing. "Aye! I like you too, H!" He then paused before they got to the kitchen and looked over at C whispering quietly. "Are we just gonna look in 'afore we enter to see what's up and watch him for a bit?" He whispered and found himself anxiously peering into the kitchen. His brother was writing something down in a little black notebook. (Sound familiar? xD Though t'is NOT  a DeathNote. xD It looks very similar though. :P) He looked preoccupied as he continued to write, taking small bites of the ice cream that was halfway finished with. H was right- his brother really didn't seem disturbed by the body in the floor, but why would he? Nothing really ever disturbed his brother. Red watched B curiously. We have to get that notebook from him...He thought quietly,knowing his friend wouldn't mind planing a way with Red to grab the notebook away from his clever brother. Hnn, what can we do now?...

Ian nodded and allowed the nurse to look over him and found himself smiling toward C. "Yesss, C, I'm so smart I can read your thoughts... " Ian said a little hint of playfulness in his voice before he got serious once again. "Anyway, but no, I just thought you would have been peeved by now- this must be such a pain for you to do.."


(Kira, your playing the nurse- So.. I won't touch her. xD Now YOU have to fix Ian. :P And sorry! I didn't mean to call him H! '^^ And thats wicked that you have a twin! I wish /I/ could have a twin! ;-;

And thankies Hiara, mine was short too, and I adore your characters too. xD)

( Little black notebook? o-o Little blue notebook?
Aw. :c )

"No, it's fine," Cade murmured as the nurse came over and looked I over.

"Looks messy," she said, and slipped her hand under Ian's chin. She tilted his head up, pulled a bit on his nose, and then got a bandage. "Only the tip of the cartilage is broken, so I can just bandage it up." The nurse pressed the bandage around I's nose carefully, making sure that the cartilage was in the right place.

C winced. What the nurse was doing to Ian looked painful.

Haiku looked into the kitchen from behind R and focused on the little notebook as well. Well that was odd, wasn't it? Of course, H had a dairy journal, so the could be what Blue was writting in. Ya know, his own journal, but it looked rather suspicious. I mean, what kind of person would walk around with something that important? No. That notebook was definatly not just something as simple as a journal. His suspicion of Red's brother was steadly growing the longer he was aware of the other's oddities.

"Yeah... I mean, all it seems like your bro's doin' is writtin' in that little book of his. That seems kind of suspicious, don't cha think?"

At that same instant, he whipped out his own notebook in a hypocritical manner. He flipped past all of his personal entries before deciding just to start at the back.

'List of Possible suspects:

BLUE: Scribbles -stuff- in a little black notebook. Creepy aura/feeling thing whatever-you-call-it.  Doesn't seem bothered by dead things (in this case, the murder child's body).Just plain creeps me out. Seems like the type to be able to kill without regrets. Very smart. *Top Suspect*

RED: Kind and happy, but I know personally that can be used as a facade. Uh, not much else to put here.

IAN: Very intellegent. Has ties to L, which could lessen suspicion against him. Very analytical and can creepily indentify the mindset of a murderer/villan.

CADE: Kind of silent, the sort of silent that could make others overlook him as a suspect. Very intellegent. Not much else...'

Haiku grinned up at Red apologetically. 

"No offence, man. You understand, right? Gotta keep an open mind with these things. But, don't worry. You're not really a suspect to me." 'But I still have to keep an eye on everyone. And that includes the staff, Watari, and even L hiimself.'

(D; I'm sorry, Taylor! That's really depressing. But, I'm with Kira. If she just dumped you lke like, maybe she wasn't the best person to have as a friend anyways. I hope you feel better soon. ...And now it sounds like I'm just rambling. Geez, I'm horrid at comforting things. Dx

But, yeah, I'm sorry that happened~ ;~;)

(It's ok guys, as long as I gots people I can fall back on like you two- I dun need her. ;P)

 Ian calmly managed to hold back his cry of pain and found tears welling up in his eyes. Damn that hurts so bad! Why did it have to be me? He thought bitterly as she continued to press on his nose. It took all he had not to take her hand and twist it so she'd leave him alone.

"Of course." Red nodded toward H and let a smile cross his lips. "After all, I would be doing the same thing if I was in your shoes- but hey, look who's the hypocrite." He teased quietly so his brother wouldn't hear their voices. He let his hand reach up and caress the top of Gils head debating with himself weather he should throw the idea out there or not. "And I wouldn't out it past L and Watari to stage this out and make it look like an actual murder- but didn't you see that slight wince L gave away whenever he saw it for the first time? I really can't say that he did it." Red didn't realize that most people would have never noticed L or any one's slight shift of emotions like that unless they were fairly observant. So, between Red and Blue it seemed Blue was the very smart one- and Red was the very observant. Red continued on as if it meant nothing to him. "But, I do have an idea for all of us, we can discuss it when we go up to the room to play the video games- and I think C and I would be fairly interested in it." He winked with a mischievous smile going across his face.
