"Narumi, you know she left because she had to." Raidou said as he watched Narumi make his second cup of coffee. When the older detective failed to comment, Raidou sighed. Adjusting the cap he always wore Raidou headed for the door, Gouto in tow. " I'll see you after I speak with the Herald." He added and Narumi just nodded in response, his back still turned. Giving up, Raidou left closing the door to the detective agency gently behind him.

Once Raidou's footsteps receded, Narumi let out the sigh he'd been holding in. Crossing the room he slumped into his desk chair, setting the cup down on the desk before he frowned.

She could have at least called me and...huh, what am I thinking? She's from another time Narumi thought as he reached for the cup only to pause when he heard a thud outside. "Huh?" He muttered, staring towards the door and beyond that the hallway that led outside. "Must have been hearing things."

Just as he brought the cup to his lips he heard another thud and he fumbled to keep a grip on the cup. "Okay that isn't funny." He grumbled as he frowned at the door only to see it slowly open. "Would it have killed you to knock?"

"Nice...to see you too, Shouhei." I gasped, leaning against the doorway. Before Narumi could react I gave one pained gasp, hand pressed against my forehead before I toppled forward. As I hit the floor side on, the cup in Narumi's hand slipped from his fingers and smashed onto the floor spilling hot coffee everywhere.

When Raidou returned several hours later, Gouto at his heels, he found Narumi kneeling beside the couch. Hearing footsteps Narumi turned his head giving Raidou a clear view of the form lying motionless on the couch. "Jean?"

"Shh..keep it down, Raidou. She's sleeping." Narumi scolded, turning his attention back to Jean just as she let out a low groan. "Sorry but she just showed up and passed out before I even had time to help her onto the couch."

"Did she say anything?" Raiodu asked as he approached the couch staring at Jean as she whimpered. Gouto jumped onto the armrest and Narumi frowned at the cat, tempted to shoo him away until he noticed that Jean's eyes slowly open.

"Where...am I?" I whispered, struggling to rise only to find a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to find a set of gold eyes staring back at me. "Narumi? What are you doing in my house?"

"Your house? Jean, you're in my office." Narumi corrected, unable to hide a grin as I stared up at him with two raised eyebrows. "You cleared the doorway and passed out on me."

"My head aches but I don't remember why. I think I came here with the but after that...my mind's blank. But it's good to see you three." I answered and Narumi's grin grew leaving me with a smaller one as I closed my eyes. "Sorry feel a little sleepy right now." I mumbled, pressing an open palm against my forehead. Before their eyes I curled into myself, knees pressed against my stomach and within a few seconds I was out.

"Well that doesn't answer much." Gouto said to Raidou who watched with interest as Narumi straightened. Moving to the cupboard he opened it and once he returned they saw him holding a folded up blanket in his arms. Carefully he spread it over Jean's body and he smiled when she sighed in her sleep. "Still I guess we'll have to wait until she wakes up before we can figure out what attacked her."

"The important thing is Jean's here." Narumi muttered and Raidou just stared at him, eyes unblinking until the older detective coughed. Cheeks slightly red he straightened. "Her attacker's probably still out there." He quickly added and with a nod, Raidou moved towards the hallway leading to the door. "Be careful out there, Raidou." He called out and Gouto rolled his eyes, following at the young summoner's heels.

Hearing the door click Narumi returned his focus back to Jean who had the blanket covering half of her head. Leaning over he carefully pulled it back to reveal her face and he smiled when she snuggled into the blanket.

I bet you have some tale to tell us. Guess it'll have to wait until you wake up.
