"I'm in love with Takuto," Ranmaru murmured to herself, slightly blaming Tenma for the incident wherein he had possessed Takuto's body. "I can't believe it!"

While chastising Tenma, though he was nowhere within the area, she had come across a collision. Actually, she collided with someone. When she saw who she hit, she couldn't believe her eyes. It was Takuto.

"Takuto?" She asked, not really hoping for a reply. "You look... dazed."

"Huh?" Takuto was still a little spinny from the collision. "R-r-Ranmaru!" He said, with his senses back, "Sorry for bumping into you!"

She jumped backwards at the abrupt reply. "T-t-Takuto! You really didn't have to be so sudden."

"I'm sorry," he replied, "I guess I should be aware of my surroundings more."

It's not like him to act like this, Ranmaru thought to herself, Maybe it's a side effect from possession.

...

With Takuto, he went to a jewellery store, bought something, and went home. As he was about to go home, a policewoman ran to him and asked him a question.

"Do you know who gave the student that died in your school the cause of his death? Because we're gonna arrest him or her, whatever gender."

"Uh," Takuto replied, "the Raimon basketball club captain?"

"No, the red gummy bear."

"Uh, Kirino Ranmaru. She has pink hair tied in pigtails, wears a boy's uniform, and she's..." He tilted his head to his left, remembering the collision wherein his chest accidentally hit hers. Man, was it paradise for him to collide to her. And she's really pretty, too. But she looked best in her soccer uniform. Her figure could already be seen through it. How the uniform showed her curves really well. Such a shame she was-.

"Excuse me?" The policewoman snapped her fingers. "Anyways, we're gonna go get her. See you."

Get her? Takuto was confused. Why would police get her for giving Tenma a red gummy bear? Then he remembered. "She gave him the red gummy bear which he choked on. And the police are now out to get... her." He immediately got worried. "Oh no. Oh, no! They're not taking her away to prison!"

"What do you mean prison?" Tenma asked Takuto. "Who's going to prison."

"Enough talk!" Takuto commanded Tenma. "The police are going to take Ranmaru to court to see if she's guilty or innocent. If she's innocent, they'll set her free. If she's guilty, then she's going to prison."

"OH NO!" Tenma was terribly frightened by what Takuto said. "She's not going to prison!"

"I know that, but," Takuto was at a state of confusion. "How we do prove her innocent? How do I prove her innocent?

"I have an idea!" Tenma then pulled Takuto to an unoccupied room and said a plan.

"That is a PATHETIC idea," Takuto commented about the plan Tenma made so the judges will know she's innocent.

"It's gotta work SOMEHOW." Tenma wanted the plan to work. "And what's entered your noggin, genius?"

That was the first time (to Takuto) that Tenma has ever acted like this around him. "I only thought of proving she's innocent by telling them..." He browsed his pockets. "Holy shit, it's gone!"

"What's gone?" Tenma asked, confused.

"The ring! It's gone! I hope it's not completely gone!"

A small black velvet box appeared in front of Tenma's face. "What's this?" When he opened it, there was a diamond ring! "Hey, captain! Is THIS the ring?" Tenma then shows the ring.

"Yes, THAT's the ring!" Takuto exclaimed. "Where'd you find it?"

"Just went 'ping' in front of my face." Tenma replied with some 'whatever' tone in his voice.

...

"We are now here for the punishment of Kirino Ranmaru, who is accused of murdering the middle school student Matsukaze Tenma." The judge announced.

Right now, on the plaintiffs table were the police, clad in their uniforms to show that they really were the police. And on the defendants table were Ranmaru who was already about to break down in tears, Tenma's mom, and the Raimon Eleven, with the exception of Takuto. The policewoman who found Ranmaru through Takuto just smirked at her.

The judge struck his hammer to begin the discussion. "So, plaintiffs, why do you say this teenager murdered Tenma?"

"She gave him a pack of gummy bears which also consisted of the red one he choked on." The policewoman answered. "I'm saying she did that on purpose!"

"What the fuck?" Ranmaru felt like the policewoman was blaming her. "I didn't, I mean, I DON'T have any ill intentions whatsoever! I just gave him gummy bears since I'm guessing he likes them, not because I wanted to kill him!"

The policewoman shot back at her. "LIES! She's only saying those pathetic lies to get herself out of this!"

"Defendants, what will you say about this?" The judge turned to the defendants table.

Tenma's mom stood up. "She's innocent! She's not lying about this. I know it."

"Are you mocking me?" The policewoman was cross. "How dare you!" She turned to the judge. "Arrest her already! She's guilty and refuses to admit it!"

The judge turned to the witnesses. "Can anyone prove to me that this girl is innocent?" Neither anyone standing up nor any hands rose in front of the judge. It worried the defendants.

"Oh, shit, we've become bullshit!" Hayami Tsurumasa said in a tone that sounds like he's about to cry. "Now that everyone thinks she's guilty. This life is just fucked up."

"Anyone? No one? Okay, I now pronounce Miss Kirino Ranmaru..."

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" The court doors opened harshly. It was Takuto. "She's not guilty. And I'll tell you why."

Tenma, who was next to Takuto, possessed him and spoke. "I'm Tenma. I'm currently possessing this body so I can communicate with you guys. Anyway, she didn't murder me. Me choking on the gummy bear is all my fault since I didn't check to swallow it properly. And also I wanted to tell you this since having to arrest her is just a load of bullshit. Besides, the real murderer is my absent-mindedness."

The judge then hammered the judge table. He was practically catatonic since, it seemed, he was terrified of ghosts. "I now announce that Miss Kirino Ranmaru as innocent."

"Not how I expected it," Tenma said to himself, "but worked!" Then he left Takuto's body, leaving it to hit the ground.

After three days...

Takuto was in some room in his house he's never been to. In the room were electric guitars, a drum set, a bass, a keyboard, microphones, and amplifiers. It looked like a band room since it had soft padding all over the walls.

He walked to a blue guitar, picked it up, rested it on his lap, fixed his left hand fingers on the fretboard to form a chord, and sung as he was strumming to the song Lullabies by All Time Low.

Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye
It could be for the last time and it's not right.
"Don't let yourself get in over your head," he said.
Alone and far from home we'll find you...

However, he was unaware of one thing: someone was watching
