"Ryu!!!!!!" Chinen screams Ryutaro's name and tries to catch his hand but he is too late. He witnesses the youngest JUMP member falls from the cliff. Bit by bit the falling boy becomes smaller and smaller. A loud splash mixed with the sound of the pouring rain. Chinen's eyes blankly stares down in shock, his heart is pounding fast. Doshte? Ryu...

"I kill him... I kill him...kyarghhhhh!!!!!!!!" Kusano begins to become hysterical. Daiki and Takaki finally arrive, with Daiki piggy-backing Yamada whose feet start to bleed again. The three of them couldn't hide their surprise to see Kusano pulling out his hair and attempts to hit his head to a huge trunk nearby.

Takaki hurries up to stop Kusano from hurting himself. The boy already has a lot of bruises and wounds on his forehead. Daiki puts Yamada down and rushes to get Chinen who is sitting still at the cliff edge.

"What happened Chii?" Daiki asks.

Chinen points his trembling index finger to the waves below. Vaguely in the rain Daiki sees a body floating.

"Ryu!!!!!!" Daiki yells, but no replies. He was about to rescue Ryutaro when Yamada stops him.

"There might be a lot of huge rocks down there! It's too risky if you jump!" Yamada screams from behind. "Ryu is a good swimmer. If he is still alive he'll make it to the shore."

"IF???" Daiki raises his eyebrows. "Are you expecting me to sit here and wait for his body to be swept to the beach? He's dying!!!!!"

"Get a grip Dai-chan!" Takaki voices up. "Yama-chan is right. You might hit the rocks if you jump. We don't want any more people get hurt. Let's search at the beach. After all there's someone else who need your care now."

Daiki finally able to get his rational back. He turns to look at Chinen. The boy's body is shivering- whether it's from the rain or from the shock seeing Ryutaro falling from the cliff Daiki isn't sure.

He wraps his hands around Chinen. "Let's go search for Ryu."

Chinen nods, but still unable to say a single word. Daiki gets Yamada on his back again while Chinen holding tight on his left arm.

Takaki is struggling with the hysterical Kusano who keeps kicking randomly in the air, taking all the blame of the accident. Well, technically he is at fault- not for Ryutaro but for the other boys' injury.

"What are we going to do with him?"

Shoon enters the cabin where Taiyo and Koyama are sitting. The rescue team has found Mr. Johnny's boat that sank almost three days ago. Marine officers have also landed on the nearby island and began their search. More and more evidence gathered, and they are certain that the boys will be on that one particular unpopulated island.

"Chopped body parts huh?" Koyama restlessly tapping his left foot and play with his hands. "What the hell is going on?" Did Kusano really become psychotic to that extend?

Shoon sits in front of the two boys. "I told you that you don't need to come. How about your recording today?"

"Who cares," Koyama replies. "The boys' safety is more important."

"You meant Kusano right?" Shoon adds in.

Koyama nods. It's true, if there's anyone he is most worried about it's Kusano. Hiro-chan was very petrified. 'Save me'... What does that means?

It's very cold early in the morning. Taiyo's wristwatch shows 0530. The sun will be out anytime soon and it will make it easier for them to search around.

"What will you do?"

"About what?" Shoon looks at Koyama, assuming the question was directed to him.

Koyama takes a deep breath. "If Hiro-chan is the murderer, what will you do?"

"We'll treat him just like other criminals."

"But he's your friend!"

"I can't let my personal life interferes with my job," the serious looking Shoon boldly answer.

"Souka..." Koyama stares at the floor. "Detectives are so cold ne..."

"Daijyobu," Taiyo tries to let loose of the tense atmosphere. "Shoon doesn't really mean it in a bad way. Well, if Kusano cooperates then we'll treat him nicely. Right Shoon?"

No answer coming out from Shoon's mouth, only a faint nod.

"But what if he doesn't? He's psychotic, he may be very violent."

Shoon stands up, turning his back on Koyama. "If he means harm, then I have no choice."

"I'll shoot him."

"How did you know?" Yabu asks Hikaru who is having Keito on his back. Yuto and Inoo are helping Yabu to walk.

"Yama-chan told us," Hikaru answers, stop for a while to correct Keito's position so that he won't fall. "Keito-chan! You are so heavy!"

"Go..men.. ne," Keito answers. His voice is very soft. He must be very weak from losing a lot of blood from the deep wound on his back. Keito is all muscular, hence it's understandable if the boy's weight is more than expected.

"Shikarishte Keito-chan! We are almost there! We'll treat your wound when we get to the safer place," Inoo tries to give the weak boy hopes, although deep inside he knows at this stage now Keito actually needs transfusion to correct the amount of blood he lost.

"At least we know Yama-chan is safe," Yuto keeps the conversation going.

Hikaru nods. "He's fine. Well, he lost his pinky toes but otherwise seems all right. His story about what Kusano did to all of you- that is just bizarre! I wouldn't think twice to classify him as crazy. I'll avenge for what happened!"

"He's not crazy."

They stop at once hearing Yabu's words.

"Erm... Ko-chan, he cut your ears. Since when cutting others' ears become normal?" Hikaru throw his trivia.

"You're right, it's not," the oldest boy replies. "But I think he was just drowned in his sorrow. I keep thinking about it, why didn't he kill us just like he did to the poor boat crews? Why let us go through all the suffering? Then I got my answer- he's lonely, he wants company, someone to play with. It shows in his eyes the- "

"If he really wants that then he can asks us to a dinner party rather than having us playing this murder game," Hikaru cuts in. "Right Keito-chan?"

There is no reply from the boy. His hands are no longer resting on Hikaru's shoulder- they are swinging in the air. Keito's head lies on Hikaru's left shoulder, but no breath sounds heard.

Hikaru quickly puts Keito on the ground. "Oi Keito! Answer me!" he slaps the boy's cheeks several times.

Yuto let go of Yabu's hand and rushes to get his unconscious boyfriend. "Ne Keito... don't scare me... Open your eyes...Ne..." he shakes Keito's body several times.

Inoo places his right hand on Keito's wrist and the other hand on Keito's neck, checking for pulses. What he is afraid most has become true.

"He's gone."
