"The Puppet Killer strikes again."Mikey said with a sigh and stood up from the ground.He looked at the dead body in front of him.

"So Sakura..."Sanzu trailed off.

"Yes..."Mikey answered slowly.

He looked once more at the body in front of him.It was one of Kisaki's men.The body was cleaned,but the head,hands,legs and torso were cut and sewed back up.In his mouth there was also a black rose and a white handkerchief with a red lips mark in the corner of man's suit pocket.

"She uses the same technique."Sanzu chuckled while staring at the body.He picked up the black rose and stared at it.He threw it behind him after some seconds and took the handkerchief and pressed his lips on top of the red lipstick mark.

Takeomi sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Let's go back.Kisaki is not here."Mikey said and left the room.Takeomi followed him,but stopped at the door when he saw Sanzu still crouched down next to the body,inspecting it.

"You coming?"He questioned.

Sanzu slowly got up and turned to face the man."This man got killed less than 5 minutes ago.

"So?"Takeomi asked.

"First of all...How can someone kill a buff man so fast and do all that ritual,clean everything up and just fly away undetected.No one can do that without being seen."

"Your point?"

"That means that Sakura was here."

Takeomi shrugged."Maybe it was someone else.But I still don't understand what you try to say."

"What I am trying to say is that it's humanly impossible to kill someone this fast,clean and see the wound and blood and ran off without anyone seeing you,without doing any sound.We have been here for more than 30 minutes,so that means that Sakura was here when we already were fighting Kisaki's men."

"Ok,and?"Takeomi asked again,not getting Sanzu's point.

"She knew that we will be here."Sanzu explained.

"I don't see how that makes sense,but ok."

"No...Look...She never left any clue behind.Now she left not one but two things,Takeomi!"

"Again...What's you point?"

"You are dumb,I swear."Sanzu mumbled."My point is that she knew that we were going to come here,so she left us clues,you old hag!"

"Show me some respect,brat."Takeomi warned.

"Just like an old man would say...'Respect your elders.'"He mocked and Takeomi rolled his eyes."The handkerchief...It has Sakura's scent on it."

"How do you know that?"

"She always used a chocolate perfume."Sanzu stated.

"There are women other than Sakura who use that scent."

"I know it's her,old man."Sanzu sternly said.

"Mikey is waiting...Lets just go."Takeomi said and left the room,going up the stairs.

Sanzu sighed and put the handkerchief in his suit's pocket."Sakura...We will bring you back."

They got back to the mansion and immediately went to check up on you in your room after not seeing you in the living room or kitchen.Ran and Sasha were the first ones to burst into your room after passing by Tanjiro who was staying at the door.They had worried faces on,but immediately vanished when they saw you eating popcorn while watching a movie on a laptop.

You looked up at them with slightly wide eyes while munching on some popcorn."Are you two ok?"

Ran sighed in relief and smiled."Now we are..."

Sasha glared at him and you chuckled."How was the mission?"You asked as you paused the movie and got up from the bed,wanting to go down and see the others too.

Sasha and Ran glanced at each other nervously which made you immediately panic.

"No..."You shook your head and wanted to run past them,but Ran got a hold of your wrist and brought you into his chest and putting his arms on your back,caressing it softly.

"I would want you to calm down,ok?"He whispered and pressed his lips on the top of your head.You nodded,a little hesitant."We will go downstairs and see the others too,but I would want you to not panic,everyone is alive."He mumbled in your hair.You sighed in relief and relaxed."Lets go."He whispered and backed away from the hug,holding your hand and walking with you downstairs.

At least that's what he wanted.Sasha came in between and glared at Ran,but then turned her head to you and smiled sweetly."I love you,you know that,babe?"She questioned.

You chuckled and nodded."I know...I love you too."

She turned to Ran who was looking at her in jelousy and stuck her tongue out."She said she loved me,purple hag."She said happily.

"Hmpf."Ran huffed."Psychopath potato shit."He mumbled.You chuckled and let go of Sasha's hand and went behind her,then stood between Ran and the brunette and hold their hands.

"Stop fighting,will ya?Its pretty tiring..."You said and yawned.Ran looked down at you and smiled and Sasha did the same.

"I love you."Ran whispered in your ear as he lowered his head to your ear level.

Wow...2 confessions and a kiss in one day?What the hell is happening today?

I kept a straight face even tho I was shocked on the inside.Whats wrong with these guys today?

I glanced at Ran who just smiled and looked ahead.I rolled my eyes.I knew he was messing around,so my shock faded away quickly.

We finally got downstairs and I widened my eyes when I saw Rindou on the couch in the living room,his shoulder and hand covered in blood.I immediately ran towards him.Sanzu was on his phone,Takeomi and Mochi already left,Mikey was eating Dorayaki,Kakucho and Kokonoi just entered the mansion and we're confused as to what was happening and Rindou was groaning in pain,gritting his teeth while doing so.

"Rin,what happened?"I asked,panicked.I got in front of him and put my hands on top of the hand that was holding onto his injured shoulder.

"Fuck."He groaned and closed his eyes tightly in pain.I saw small tears at the end of his eyes.

"Hey hey hey...Calm down...I need to know what happe-"

"FUCK IT!"Sanzu suddenly shouted in frustrationa and threw the phone that he had in his hand on the ground,breaking it.I slightly flinched,not expecting that.The others looked at him with frowns.

"What happened?"Kakucho questioned.

"Krista isnt responding.That bitch."He mumbled and ran a hand through his hair.

"Uhm...I will take care of Rin's wound...Dont worry...You should all go and rest...Also,eat something...While you were away I cooked something for all of you and we also have sushi in the fridge from earlier today."I said with a soft smile and Sanzu's angry face turned soft.

"You are the best."He said and I slightly chuckled.

"Let's go into my room...I think I have a first aid kit there."I said to Rin and helped him get up and walk up the stairs to my room.

When I got there,I sat him down on my bed and went to the bathroom and took the aid kit out of there.I went back to Rin and sat in front of him.

"Uhm...I think you should remove your tee."I said hesitantly and he just nodded.He wanted to remove it by himself,but winced in pain."Its ok."I said and helped him remove the cloth.

I took the supplies needed and cleaned his wound,sewed it and bandaged it at the end.I was frowning the entire time,concentrating on the wound.

"How do you know how to sew wounds?"Rindou suddenly asked.

"I did one year of medical school before deciding to go for the law school..."I said,not looking up from his wound.He nodded.

"That must be cool."

"What?The law school or medical school?"I asked with a small chuckle.

"Doing whatever you want..."He said."Choosing what to do with your life..."I stopped sewing his wound and looked up at his face.

His side profile was honestly beautiful.And he looked handsome.He turned his head and stared into my eyes.I held eye contact...We both did.

"You know...Ever since you came here...I haven't been feeling as lonely as before...Even tho we don't talk too much...Its just...You are a nice person to be around...Comforting really."He stated and I smiled.

"Thank you...You are not too bad yourself."I said and sewed his wound again.Rindou let out a small chuckle.

"You know...Ran won't stop telling me about how much he likes you."He said and we both giggled."He always says that you do something to him...Like a spell...And honestly,I kinda feel it too...Even tho I am not as sure as he is...I know I do feel something..."

Have all of them talked and decided to confess to me today or what?Whats with all the confessions?

I sighed with a small smile."I know how annoying it must be to not understand what you feel...I get you,buddy."I dramatically said."But if there is a thing that I know for sure is that I finished bandaging your wound.You are safe now."I patted his shoulder,signaling him that I was done.

He gave me a smile."Thank you so much,Dr Kobayashi."He said elegantly and bowed his head.I chuckled as I cleaned all the supplies that I used on him.

"Don't call me that..."I said in a stern voice,but he only chuckled,which made me laugh too."Okay big boy...I think the others are waiting for you downstairs...We gotta go and assure them that you are ok."I said and helped him get up.

You helped him walk downstairs,and before exiting your bedroom,he mumbled to himself.

"Ran has all the reasons to love her..."
