Zen Rui:- Grandma! Grandma!

Miss. Kei:- What's wrong!? Why are screaming this early in the morning?

Zen Rui:- I can't find my headphones, do you know where it is?

Miss. Kei:- How am I supposed to know? I'm already busy with my work.

*In a sad tone*

Zen Rui:- Oh okay... I'm sorry..

Zen Rui:- Mr. Kyo?

Mr. Kyo:- Yes ma'am?

Zen Rui:- Have you seen my headphones?

Mr. Kyo:- yes I have.

Zen Rui:- where is it?

Mr. Kyo:- I found it under your bed while cleaning your room ma'am.

Zen Rui:- thanks Mr. Kyo.

I walked towards my room took my headphones and went out for a walk.

Zen Rui:- I'm heading out

Since I'm an orphan my adoptive grandmother doesn't seems care about me that much, she's always busy with her work I only had Mr. Kyo by my side always looking after me from the very beginning, the real story begins here...

I started my day as usual woke up at

4 in the morning, had my breakfast and went out for a walk. Everything was going good, I was passing by one of my friend Ayame's bunglow since we used to stay in same locality. While passing by there I saw a group of suspicious people, I thought maybe they are some visitors but they looked quiet sneaky, ignoring them I continued walking to the nearest garden "Garden Sankei-en", built back in 1906 showing the beauty of old times. The phrase "Old is Gold" fits perfectly fine for it.

What can be more peaceful than enjoying the beauty of nature while walking?

Decoration done with beautiful tree's, flower's, especially the most beautiful pond and a hillock makes it breathtaking

...I was returning with a peaceful mind but it didn't last any longer.......

While returning from Sankei-en Garden I saw Ayame's bunglow on fire! I rushed towards her bunglow and started asking her neighbours Ayame and her family's whereabouts.

Zen Rui:- What in the world just happened here!!??

Ayame's Neighbour:- I don't know, I smelled something burning when I came out of my house I saw Ayame's house burning...

Zen Rui:- Where's Ayame and her family!?

Ayame's Neighbour:- They are still trapped inside!!!

A huge crowd gathered around Ayame's bunglow.

Zen Rui:- Did u guys contacted firefighters?

Ayame's Neighbour:- Yes we did, but looks like they are late!.

Zen Rui:- What about the Cops?

Ayame's Neighbour:- Oh Damn it! Not yet.

Zen Rui:- Jeez how can you?? I'm contacting them.

*On a call with Mr. Akio*

Zen Rui:- Hello? Mr. Akio?

Mr. Akio:- Yes Zen, what's the matter?

Zen Rui:- A bunglow just caught fire here, please come here as soon as you can. Mr. Akio:- Tell me the address, I'll be there in 5 minutes.

Zen Rui:- Please note, Isogo Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture Okamura 2-chome.

Mr. Akio:- Don't panic I'll be there soon.

Firefighters and Mr. Akio with his team arrived in 15 minutes. Firefighters were trying to control the fire and rescue Ayame and her family meanwhile the cops were busy with their investigation on sight.

After getting rescued by firefighters Ayame and her family looked traumatized, and who won't be? They all were asleep when their house caught fire. Ayame looked way too scared so I tried to comfort her but she seemed like not listening to any of my words...they were provided a place to stay by Mr. Akio. Later they moved in my bunglow where I was living with my Grandma, as Ayame was my childhood friend and her father had a good relations with my Grandma.

After a week Mr. Akio came again for investigation related to case "How did the bunglow caught fir?"

Mr. Akio:- what do you think? How did your bunglow caught fire? Sir?

Ayame's father:- I don't know Mr. Akio.

Mr. Akio:- Do you suspect someone?

Ayame's father:- No we have good relations with our neighbours and everyone, I Don't suspect anyone.

Mr. Akio:- You can go...Next!

Ayame's mother:- yes Mr. Akio?

Mr. Akio:- Have a seat Ma'am, so what are your thoughts on your house burning? Do you think something was wrong with your gas cylinder?

Ayame's mother:- No Mr. Akio, I clearly remember switching the gas cylinder off.

Mr. Akio:- did you noticed something unusual?

Ayame's mother:- No Mr. Akio.

Mr. Akio:- who noticed the fire first?

Ayame's mother:- Ayame

Mr. Akio:- Okay, Next!

Ayame's brother:- yes Mr. Akio

Mr. Akio:- Hey kid? How are you?

Ayame's brother:- I'm fine.

Mr. Akio:- do you remember anything that how your house burn?

Ayame's brother:- Yes Mr. Akio, my sister woke me up and told me to run, I was so scared... *Starts sobbing*

Mr. Akio:- it's okay, don't cry kid everything is fine......Next!

Ayame:- yes Mr. Akio?

Mr. Akio:- how did you understood that your house caught fire?

Ayame:- I just happened to wake up earlier than usual and smelled something burning.

Mr. Akio:- And?

Ayame:- I saw my house burning.

Mr. Akio:- okay, so how do you think your house caught fire?

Ayame:- I don't know Mr. Akio, you're asking me such questions like I'm the one who set my house on fire.

Mr. Akio:- I'm just doing my job. I'll take my leave now please excuse me Miss.Kei

Miss. Kei:- yes Mr. Akio.

Mr. Akio left but the question How?  stayed in mind. what actually happened? When I was passing from there I saw nothing unusual, then how?

Wait!

I saw, I saw someone suspicious people infront of their bunglow and they also looked quiet sneaky....

I need to tell this to Mr. Akio.

Zen Rui:- I'm heading out!

Miss. Kei:- what's the big idea now? Zen Rui:- I have some work left over.

I rushed to police station to meet Mr. Akio but he wasn't there I was told by other cops that he has a day off today and was going to Tokyo to meet his family, he will be back after a week. I came back home, Grandma was asking me where did I went to? I didn't replied her and walked straight to my room.

Laying on my bed I kept thinking how can I deliver this information to Mr. Akio, it can be an important clue. While thinking all this I fell asleep, when I woke up it was already night. The Moon was beautiful that night.

My school was starting tomorrow and I had to join so I went to bed.
