5th Case - [Action/Voice] - AU

[fortuneprince]

[Now back in her home, Naoto strangely finds that several of her detective books are missing from her room so she walks to her father's room and knocks on the door]

Father?  Do you know where my novels are?  I'm missing a few of them. 

[Today she had been planning to invite Kouki to cherry tree hill to read with her.  Not exactly the most romantic thing out there but she thought she'd ask.  Plus the other day she offered to lend Kouki a few of her books to read.

She walks back to her room and brings out the books she has, placing them on the table in the living room.]

[Filtered Voice - Kouki]

Kouki?  Um...I was wondering if you'd like to accompany me to the cherry trees this afternoon...

[He'd lecture Souji about this sort of thing, but for all he knows it was a mistake. It's best if Naoto handles this herself.]

Are you missing any more?

[Voice]

[fortuneprince]

Yes, there are a few others but I didn't see them in Souji's room.

[She places the book along with the others she took out of her room]

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

[He glances around one last time.]

They don't seem to be in the living room either.

[Voice]

[fortuneprince]

[She frowns]

Do you think Ange would have borrowed them?

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

Without permission? That doesn't sound like her.

[Voice]

[fortuneprince]

I suppose not. [Where could they be then? Martel couldn't have taken them...she's not interested in that sort of thing.]

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

Perhaps they were misplaced in the last Shift. [Because if people could be scattered throughout the village, why not objects?]

[Voice]

[fortuneprince]

That wouldn't surprise me. [She sighs a little. Guess she'll have to go and try to find them or get some new ones]

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

[A nearly inaudible sigh.] Let me know if you've lost anything else. We'll need to look into replacing that.

[It'll probably come out of Yuan's wallet, but he secretly enjoys giving his kids presents from time to time.]

[Voice]

[fortuneprince]

[She nods, not really wanting to bother Yuan with these things. She doesn't like him spending too much money on her, even if its for necessities]

I will, thank you Father..
