I Do Not Own Maji Tantei Nougami Neuro

It had been two years since Neuro came back from hell and Yako was in her senior year of high school. Her hair grew down to her shoulders, but she was still wearing red hair clips in her hair. Her body grew from a child's to more of a woman's, although she still looked like a kid at first glance, and she was still only 5'2. She just turned 18 a few months ago. For her, everything was gone back to normal now that Neuro was back.

Over the past two years, they solved hundreds of mysteries which fed Neuro and kept him happy. Even though he still tortures her, calls her names and other things, she noticed that he led up on some of it sometimes. Sometimes he would share what he did in hell before and after he sealed up hole to hell. During those times, Yako listened to every word he said, knowing he wouldn't just share this with anyone. She felt honored and hoped that when she was ready to share, he would listen too.

Yako had gotten even more famous, although she stopped avoiding the fans since fans sometimes mention good mysteries to her that were police or higher government problems. Like yesterday when they finished with a mystery that Yako deemed it be B- since it took Neuro three days to solve it and to have two people meant twice the amount food for him. Yako just smiled to herself and continued her way towards the office.

Today her class was given the rest of the day off. Her friend Kanae invited her out with some of other classmates. But she declined, stating that she had work to do and headed towards the office. Half way there, she felt like she was being followed. She looked over her shoulder to find no one there. She turned and almost jumped out of her skin to find Higuchi standing in front of her, smiling. Something told her that she needed get away from there and fast.

"Ahh, Yako-chan. How nice it is to run into you like this. Can you come with me for a few minutes?" he asked.

Yako was about to say no, but he grabbed her arm hard and pulled her into narrow ally way. She struggled against his pull until he trapped her between himself and the wall, placing his hands on both sides of her head. Higuchi smiled, sending chills down her spine. She knew that look. It was the look of someone obsessed with something or someone. Unfortunately for Yako, Higuchi was obsessed with her.

"Yako-chan, I want you become my girlfriend and quit being a detective and work alongside that demon." he demanded.

Yako was taken aback. Of all things he could have said, that really surprised her. But she quickly dismissed it, knowing that she could never be with a human, not after meeting Neuro. Perhaps Godai if Neuro never returned, but he did and her heart and everything that makes her Yako belonged to Neuro. She knew that Neuro knew it too.

"I'm sorry Higuchi-san, but I love my job and working with Neuro. I'm not looking for boyfriend either." she said calmly.

Yako ducked under his arm and calmly walked around him. Then Higuchi snapped and stabbed her in side with a small knife. "If I can't have you, then no one can." he said dangerously.

Yako clutched her side and took off running. She didn't care if her wound was bleeding. All she cared about was getting to Neuro. She wished that she had 777 tools of Demon World Evil Canceller with her so she could hide. All of a sudden, she felt invisible to him and everyone. "Please keep me invisible until I reach Neuro. Please." she silently begged. She kept running until she was at the office, patting on floor.

Neuro, Godai and Akane were surprised to see her like this. But unfortunately for them, Sasazuka and Ishigaki came in casually. Before Godai or Neuro had time to react, Sasazuka carefully picked her up gently. Yako looked up at him weakly.

"Please don't take me to hospital, Sasazuka-san." she begged.

Sasazuka nod. "Ishigaki, go get the first aid kit out of car." he demanded.

Ishigake nodded and ran out. Sasazuka carefully set her on couch. He removed the bloodstained pink sweater off of her and moved up to her white shirt, revealing her wound. Godai sat beside her. "Yako, do you know who did this to you?" he asked.

Yako nod weakly. "Hai. I do. I was walking from school to here since my class got a half day today. When I felt like I was being watched, Higuchi popped up in front me." she said, trying stay still.

Sasazuka began cleaning up the blood until it was dry. He began using the disinfectant, making Yako wince. "The wound is only an inch deep, but you shouldn't move too much or it will get worse for next few days. But please, continue what you were saying." he said softly.

Yako nodded weakly. "He began speaking to me and before I could say anything, he grabbed my arm hard pulled me into a narrow alley." She paused to show the bruise. "Then he demanded that I become his girlfriend and stop being detective and hanging out with Neuro. I told him no and walked around him. He snapped, pulled out a knife and stabbed me. He said 'If I can't have you then no one can.' I got up and ran as fast I could until I got here. I never once looked over my shoulder to see if he was there." She finished.

Sasazuka nodded before turning to Ishigake. "I wrote everything down, Sasazuka-san." he said calmly.

'How dare he try and steal her away from me .How dare he hurt my louse like this. Yako is mine and mine alone. I don't share. He will pay dearly for this.' Neuro thought to himself, trying to contain his anger.

Godai was angry. He wasn't able to do anything to help her. He looked up at Neuro. His face was calm, but he knew on the inside, he was furious that this happened to her.

Sasazuka nodded and was about to put a bandage Yako's wound, only to find it completely healed. He could see N in green lighting on it. He looked up at Yako. "I've always had that on me, ever since I was born. No matter what happens to that side, it always healed quickly. It continues up to my shoulder and down to my toes…I'm going take nap now." Yako said drowsily, falling asleep.

Sasazuka petted her head and looked up at Godai and Neuro. "Don't let her out of your sight for a while. I have a feeling that Higuchi will continue stalking her until she gives in or worse. Ishigake and I will dig up what he's been up to until now." he said calmly.

Godai nodded and watched them leave. He went towards the door. "I'm going go to her apartment and grab a few things for her." he said, and then walked out door shutting the door quietly.

Once Neuro was sure that Godai was completely gone, he went around and carefully picked Yako up. He settled back in his chair, holding her close to his chest. The blond wrapped his arms around her possessively. He was beyond furious. He was mad enough to transform, go hunt Higuchi down and make him pay for hurting her. His instincts were demanding that he do it, but they also demanded that he stay here with his mate and protect her.

Long ago, he accepted that Yako was his mate, back before they found out about Sai. That was why he did everything he could to make sure that she evolved perfectly for him. He was waiting for her be of legal age and out of high school before getting into a deep courtship with her. Right now, they were in the basics, whether she knew or not.

Ever since he got back, he decided to show a softer side of him, but also made sure that she knew her place. He had been reading romance novels and had Akane look up everything he needed to know about human relationships. After he read everything, he deuced that human's courtships were very strange, and some of it would be useful in future. But right now, after what just happen, he needed to step up his plans because he couldn't afford to lose her. But something else was bothering him. Why couldn't he sense her coming? Especially when she was injured. Deciding that he wasn't going wait around for his answers, he decided to use the 777 Tools of Demon World Evil Remember Bug. It was a small bug that went into anyone and pulled out recent events.

What he found out angered, pleased and surprised him all at same time. He was angry by what the four-eyed hacker said and did to his louse. But it pleased him greatly that she knew her heart, soul and body belonged to him. It irked him a bit that she thought she should or would be with Slave 2, but he dismissed it after hearing she forgot about it after he came back. What really surprised him was when he heard her wishing for the Evil Canceller and it actually worked long enough for her to get away?

After while of trying figure out how she did it, he pushed it back of his mind for now, knowing he couldn't figure it out without gathering some important information from his louse. He carefully sat up, taking off his jacket and lightly wrapping it around her even though Slave 2 would bring a blanket from her apartment. He needed his scent to cover her; it was the only way for him to get his instincts to calm down. He pulled her closer, breathing in her scent. He felt himself falling asleep in peace with a small, real smile on his face.

Later, Godai came back to find out what he had done. He was going say something, but Akane quickly wrote/told him not to since they knew what would happen if he did and Yako needed her rest. Godai grumbled quietly and lay on couch, waiting for Yako and Neuro to wake up and for the police to come back with more information.

A few hours later

Sasazuka came in and sat on the other couch. He looked over at the sleeping Godai, then over to Neuro and Yako. He knew the demon was possessive of her. It was obvious. He looked at Yako more closely. She was stretched out over his lap. Her legs were intertwining with Neuro's legs. Her head was resting against his chest, with a small smile on her face. Sasazuka smiled lightly at this. After the day she just had, it was good see her sleeping so peacefully.

Sasazuka looked at Neuro once more. The demon was lightly nuzzling her hair with a huge grin on his face. He had feeling that Neuro wasn't completely sleep, but Sasazuka just shrugged and lay on couch. He looked up at the ceiling, wondering what was going happen now.

He lay there, enjoying the silence and relaxed, but going over what he learned about Higuchi. But the silence was interrupted by Ishigake storming into office yelling.

"SASAZUKA-SAN, I HAVE IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE PARTOL CAR OUTSIDE YAKO-CHAN'S HOME!" he yelled.

Godai fell off the couch, startled by sudden noise. Neuro simply opened his eyes to see what was going on. He felt Yako stir and whine softy. Godai jumped to his feet and lifted Ishigake into air.

"ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING? YAKO IS SLEEPING AND TRYING TO RECOVER! THE LAST THING SHE NEEDS IS YOU COMING IN YELLIN!" Godai yelled.

Yako groaned softly, slowly moving to get up. Neuro narrowed his eyes at them angrily. He gently rubbed her back hoping to calm her down and send her back to sleep. Before Ishigake could respond, both of them got pinned to wall by Sasazuka. He covered their mouths.

"Silence, both of you. Yako needs her sleep." he said.

Yako sat up, rubbing her eyes. "It's okay, Sasazuka-san. I'm wake now. Ishigake-san, what happened at my apartment?" she asked nicely.

Sasazuka dropped them and looked down at Ishigake. "I was heading over to the patrol car we assigned to watch your apartment when I saw a man and a woman break through your screen doors and enter your living room. I told two men to stay there until I got back." he said quickly

Yako was taken aback by this for minute, wondering who would do this to her. Then it came to her. She clutched her fist, making Neuro look down at her in question. "Ishigake, did the man have a small scar on his chin while the woman had short curly brown hair?" she asked.

Ishigake nodded. "Who is it, Yako?" Godai asked.

Yako just looked down, not wanting to answer. Neuro scooped her into his arms and stood up, heading for the door. The rest followed him, knowing very well that Yako won't reveal who it was until they reached her apartment. Gathering into Godai's car, they took off.

Neuro looked down at Yako, who was very lost in thought. Normally he would do something to get her attention back on him, but he felt he should give her time to think.

Yako simply turned her face into his chest, clutching his jacket closer to her. 'I can't believe they are still doing this. Why can't they accept the fact that Great Grandma Lori left it to me and not them for reason. They make me so mad.' she thought. Suddenly, a buckle exploded where Ishigake was sitting.

Yako jumped and looked at what exploded. Godai wanted yell at Neuro, but stopped when he saw the look in Neuro's eye. "Louse, say what's on your mind right now." he demanded softly.

Yako nodded. "The couple in my apartment is my aunt and uncle on my father's side. Everyone on that side hates me, even before I was born. My Great Grandma Lori said it was one of the negatives of being born with strange powers. It was always born in females, not the males. She died at 115 years old. I was about 7 and she left me in Katsuragi Forest..." Ishigake cut her off.

"You mean the Katsuragi Forest that became Katsuragi Island overnight?! You own that! Amazing! How did that happen?!" he asked excitedly, but a bit too excited for Yako. She squeezed her eyes shut and pulled Neuro's jacket over her head. She felt her power rising, wanting to do whatever it could to stop Ishigake, but Sasazuka beat her to it.

Sasazuka grabbed Ishigake's neck, hard. "Shut up, if you had let her finish, your questions would've been answered. Do not speak until you are called on, understood?" he demanded.

Ishigake nodded and Sasazuka let go of him. Neuro stayed silent, listening and watching Yako. He came to a few conclusions. 'It seems she has demon blood and powers that are controlled by her anger, sadness, general fear and irritation. Yako is a true mystery. I can't wait learn more about her and her past.' he thought, wrapping an arm around her, feeling her relax. She popped out of his jacket with a smirk on her face. Neuro's eyebrow rose and urged her a bit to share what was on her mind now.

"You know that plant you gave me for my birthday year ago?" she asked him.

Neuro nodded, wanting her to get the point. "Well, it sits right in front of screen door to get the most sunlight. And since my aunt and uncle broke in through there…Well, I'm sure you can figure the rest out, Neuro." she said, giggling.

Neuro just smirked. Ishigake and Sasazuka looked at them in confusion. Godai thought for minute. "You mean that weird green and purple plant? It looked harmless to me." he said.

Neuro's smirk got bigger while Yako tried to contain her laughter. "Yeah, that one. It's called a Venus flytrap and it was only acting harmless since you've been in my apartment before." she said softy.

Godai eyes widened. But before he could ask who gave her such a dangerous plant, they pulled up to Yako's apartment.

They got out of the truck, hearing a female's voice scream in Yako's apartment.
