Yume's pov
The day has come and I'm all set. I'm already waiting for my flight and I'm a little bit excited.
The gang escorted me here at the airport. "I'm gonna miss you, fiume!", Storm, Zyair and kenji. Kenji was like a crybaby and I just laughed. "I'll be back, don't worry.", I said. "You sure?", Sniffing kenji, he's my closest friend though, "Just be careful, alright?". "Sure.", I smiled then I saw Kira on the side with hands on his pockets of his jeans.
"I'm going, then. Bye!", I went inside the airplane and looked for my designated seat. "Hey, look, fiume's here.", Girls giggling beside me. I'm a model and writer, kinda famous, I thought so. "Ms. Fiume, would you mind having an autograph?", One of the girl closest to me. "Sure!", I smiled and gave me a pen and signed then I returned it. "Thank you very much, ma'am!", They said. "You're welcome!", I replied.
I'm a bit bored so I took my phone out and my headphones. I put on an airplane mode before I went to the airplane.

We reached to my destination, the rukassen village. I thought myself I've already gotten here before but I couldn't remember really. Before my foot touches the ground, some photographers blocking the way so I wear a pair of sunglasses and I'm already used to it. For not to be obvious, I pretended to be sick and walked fast until I reached the exit. Dad said that there a black car to fetch me then I saw it, hopped in and ready to go. We have arrived on a hotel and i went to the counter. One of the frontliners knows it was me and she escorted me to my room. She opened it up and gave me keys, "enjoy your stay.", And I thanked her.
My phone rang then open it up. "How's your ride?", Kenji. "I'm fine, I slept a bit. Oh, please take good care of Moe and nero.", I asked. "Don't worry, nero likes me to stay in my room. and moe wants to stay in yours.", Kenji said. I'm relieved. "Time to go cleaning, enjoy!", Kenji and I said my goodbye and I hanged up.
I layed my back on my comfy bed. I just to soft and I like it, I feel so exhausted so I slept.
Arth's pov
Morning already? I'm earlier than the alarm, nice one haha... I jumped out of my bed, stretching out my hands and went ahead to the bathroom. I still miss yume a lot. But still, I haven't found her yet. I turned on the faucet and took a bath then soon after I dried myself and wore my uniform, I'm too excited for the day. Being a top ranking investigator all over the country and i can't believe it. I'm just happy with my job and I hope dad sees me and see him smiling. I felt my eyes pricked with tears then, "arth, honey, breakfast ready!", Mom. "I'm coming.", I said.
I went downstairs and went to the dining area. "Congratulations, honey!", Mom said mostly excited. I have my own apartment but I decided to stay with Mom today and I said that I became the top rank investigator. She's so excited for the awards ceremony then I heard a door bell and I ran to door and opened it. Here's my little nephew, aimie and Mika. "Onii-chan, congrats!", Aimie. "Thank you!", I said and I smiled. "Come here, little buddy!", I called HIro and carried him. "He's just like you.", Aimie chuckled. "Well, how's it doing?", Mika. "Of course, I'm so excited.", I just smiled. "Hey, guys, why don't go to the dining room and let's have breakfast then we came together still Hiro on my arm, he's really cute. I thought again of yume. "You okay?", Aimie asked sorta worried. "Oh, sorry, I'm fine. don't worry, I'm just hungry.", I laughed nervously. They knew why I reacted like that, they wanted to see yume too.
._-*-_.
We're on the hall and many people around waiting for the ceremony then Lake and malory got pregnant for 4 months. "Where's fravis?", I asked. "He said, he'll gonna be late.", Lake said. "Okay.", I replied back. Fravis joined us with the agency after he recovered three years ago. He's really kind like yume, Here I go again, I really miss her. I hope she and dad see my success. "Hello, everyone. Thank you for coming. Let's welcome our best and most outstanding man, Mr. Dearth Devon.", The emcee and gave me a hand of applause. I went up on stage and thanked everyone who supported me. I thanked my family and friends and also to whom the one who trusted me and it was Lake Campbell.
After my speech, we sat around a big table along with my friends and family then made a toss. Then third and king came and there's fravis. I'm so happy. "Kampai!", We all cheered.
Third and king became successors of their companies. Well, king, still trying to court a lady and introduce to his parents but he always failed. While third got a girlfriend and it was yana, our class president when we were in highschool. I'm surprised that they were already dating since highschool by secret.
After the celebration, we decided to go home it's almost 4 in the afternoon, malory and lake needs to go 'cause of her sensitive pregnancy while Hiro got slept on my shoulders, got tired after I played with him. I asked Mom if she could go home too and so she did. I went to fravis and yume's old house, we went together and visited
We reached the place and it's like same as before. Fravis opened the door for he has the keys. Fravis called a caretaker for clean ups every week then I walked around and remembering thoughts of our past. "Dearth-kun, why are you crying? Oh, sorry, I almost forgot.", I got surprised after he said and didn't noticed it. "Sorry, I'm just too dramatic!", I laughed nervously wiping my tears away but I see him too, worried and lonely. I wish I could find yume soon. We got out of the house and off to go home.
Before I headed to the building, I went to the park and walked around. And then I saw the bench where'd I saw little yume sat before and of course the spot where my family having fun together when dad was alive. I just rested myself on a bench and leaned my head back and closed my eyes. I felt something strange until I saw a lady with long black hair, "yume?". I stood up and looked for her until I reached her, touched her shoulder and turned her around. "I'm sorry.", It wasn't yume after all. It's almost sunset and I looked at me watch, 6:30 pm so I headed home.
I got home and watched for news, after yume has gone three years ago. No killings happened and being reported. We investigators find clues and hints to arrest such criminals and with cases of graft and corruption. Many cases of rape, mysterious killings and illegal gambling I've been handled this years but still, I have no evidence to find yume, not even a hint and of course, everybody helped me with this kind of love case, I just giggled all by myself.
I jumped off my bed and thinking something for dinner so I went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. Sausages? Fries? Nah! I'm not hungry anyway then I saw cup noodles, it'll do.
._-*-_.
It's already 10 pm, and I can't sleep so decided to go out and have a drink. I went to my favorite restobar and sat down at the front of the counter, "one bottle of beer, please.", I asked to the bartender. "Sure, sir.", He said and handled me a beer. I put out my phone and read some messages, from my other friends from work and school, greeted me. "Hey, kid, what's you're problem?", A drank man looking at me but I just ignored him. "Hey, brat, don't just ignore me, answer me!", He yelled. "What do want from me and you're drank, right? Why don't you just go home and sleep.", I said. "Maybe, you're here because your girlfriend broke up with you!", He laughed. "It's none of business. Just get outta here, you're just an eyesore.", I said seriously. "Well, you're tough, aren't you? Wanna fight me, come on, show me what you've got!", He took a Swiss knife from his pocket and try to stab me. I'm fast so i can dodge but I don't want to hurt him. Suddenly, he stopped, "you're so stubborn, old man, how could you disturb me on my wonderful drink.", A lady behind him while the sharp edge of knife she's holding against his neck. "Put your hands up and don't move.", She took the Swiss knife from the drank guy. "Now, kneel! You've better do what I say or else this could be your lovely ending.", She said. "Hey, are you alright?", She asked and I'm so shocked of what she did. She's strong and fast, kinda scary too. "Oh, I'm fine, thank you.", Me still on shock. "Call for the police.", She said while giving me the knife. "Bye, see you later!", She's gone. The police came to assist and arrested the drank man. Who the hell is she? It can't be yume?
