Intertwine (Strings of Fate)-UNEDITED

Chapter Twenty-Eight

"Matte, I think I heard that story when we were searching for information." Kannon butt in. "What do you mean, Kannon?" "When Kaname and I were searching for archive in the national library we encountered a weird envelope that we found in a secret compartment. It held old articles about a family massacred in their own house and police didn't press charges because they didn't know the assailants." "Hmm...it couldn't just be coincidence but they are the same." "But there's more." Kannon cut off. "What is it?" "We found a burned picture together with the articles." She searches her bag and hands over the burned picture. "The family is originally has six member but only four member were found dead and burned in the house, right?" "It's also the same on what we have found on the databank of the police headquarters. So that means, Alexis is really is Silver herself, there's no doubt about it." Ayaka said firmly. "But why is she the only one left? There murderer knows very well their family, how did she escape?" Jiro questioned.

"That's the thing I don't know, but nee-san said about this Insignia group was the one who is behind her family's death." "Then, they are the one who threaten Alexis?" "That's impossible." Kannon said. "What do you mean?" "If this Insignia group is so great, why did they found Alexis in her new identity? Did they think that she was dead?" "You have a point there Kannon that could be possible at least for now. We don't know the present situation, huh."I sighed in desperation.

"But wait, who's the other member? Did it said that it's alive?" Ritsu asked with shock expression. "You are right there Ritsu, what if the other one is what they are after and not Alexis?" Sho explained. "You think so too? But why did she hide her true identity is that's the case?" Jiro inquired. "Maybe, something we don't know, and what this Insignia group is after. Until we find Alexis, we're not gonna stop." I firmly said. "It's so complicated, even though we know who she is, we can't even protect her." Ayaka said.

"So what are we gonna do about it? If we can't find her before this Insignia get her, we don't know where to start again. Information is so little about them and so hidden." Kohei butt in. "We found out that our family has a connection to this Insignia group." Ritsu utter that shock all of us except Kohei. "What do you mean, Ritsu?" "Ryu-nii, was killed by the Insignia, he was killed."

"What Ritsu said was true, our family has something to do with the Insignia, we found that out in files of Riku-ossan, when we investigate the death of Ryuzaki these past few days." "But what does our family has to do with them?" Yuji asked. "I can't tell you that, I want you to see for yourselves, and were too." "I can't believe this, if they have some people in the police department then were doomed, they can alter information of their crimes and even hide their existence to the innocent people." Ayaka stated with anxious face.

"That's not so good for us, what do we do? If only Alexis is here...." I sighed in desperation. "Is there anything we can do?" Sho asked in defeat. "I can't think right now, the first problem is Alexis who is connected to Insignia that has to do with our family, what else can we do?" "We can't give her up." Ayaka utter in aspiration. "We can't give up now, we've been this far and now we finally find Alexis, we can't give up now." "Ayaka is right, we can't give up now, if this Insignia has something to do with our family then it is fate that brought us together, we can't stop now." "You're right, Meter." "So, that's what hap---." Crash!!!

--//End of Flashback//--

And now, we continue our investigation about the Insignia after the incident in our school. It's been three days after that, but Alexis haven't woken up yet, but we found out after talking to Ken about her past. I went straight to the hospital suite where Sho was confine. "Hey, you okay now?" I greeted him as I open the door in his room. "Never been better, so has she woken up?" "Not yet, I haven't received some news yet, so that means no."

"I guess...." He sat up in the edge of the bed facing me an reaches for my wrist. "What are you thinking......" "Come here." I didn't continue what I'm saying when he pulls me over him and embraces me. "Don't ever do that again, Meter." "Huh? What are you saying?" "When you that guy Venom slap you infront of eyes and I didn't do anything to prevent it...it hurts me more." "We couldn't have prevent that, and it's in past right?" Nothing he respond but embraces me tightly that I hardly breath.

"S-Sho, I can't breathe!" I hissed. "Hahaha, gomen, you're so soft that I can't control myself." "Stop joking around, we are in the serious situation." "I'm not fooling around, I just missed you so much...don't ever do that again, okay?" "O-okay, but you can let go of me now." But instead of heeding my words he guide me to sit astride in his lap. "W-What are you doing?" "So that, I can hold you for a long time." "Eh? What if someone sees us---?" He loose his grip and I abruptly stand and sit on the chair beside his bed. "So you don't want others to see us like that? I didn't know you are possessive Meter." He gives me an evil smirk. "I-I'm not, what are you talking I'm possessive? Huh! I just don't want to....to..." "To what?" "Whatever!"
