NINETEEN. 

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. 

P.S. indicating for our fusion in characters of our stories. Warning again, Uncovered Cases isn't mine and it belongs to Ms. Rainy herself. Before engaging, letting you guys know that I have her permission for our cameos, thank you for understanding.

"FOR THIS LAST TIME, let me fulfill my last duty to you."

His hand went out on her cheeks, and as he looked closely at her eyes, the wind swooshed to her face as her eyes blink, and you could practically image how she shines like the moon, like the fountain pouring down the water gracefully, and how drawn he is to her beauty. 

Her eyelashes curled up, which was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Her lavender eyes contain a lot of emotions, and there's nothing fake about the way she stares; she's like an open book, and you can read every bit of her.

Her red cheeks are defined in the same way as flowers bloom. Her soft look, expressing her gentleness, drew you in as if it were something lovely that you would never see in your entire life. 

Her duo-colored aura shone brightly, and her raven and pink-highlighted hair moved with the breeze as she clenched her necklace.

'She's very gorgeous...' His different pair of blue and grey eyes peered at her, never tired of seeing her beauty.

"Tama na 'yan—"

Agad naman itong tumingin sa paligid niya and slowly glaring at the police officers. Kung 'di pa halata, kanina pa siya napipikon sa kanila.

"Ganito ba kayo ka-atat na hulihin ako para lang magawa niyo ang mga katiwalian n'nyo sa loob? H'wag ako, sir. Kilala ko ang mga baho n'nyo,"diretsahang sinabi niya sa mga pulis.

Despite the pressure, he didn't appear to mind what was going on just now. Perhaps she was seeing things. May inabot siyang envelope kay Minami na pinagtaka niya naman 'yon.

"Ano'ng—"

"Give it to L.A.V; if it's her, maybe she'll understand my dying message later. If one of us survives."

"What are you—"

Minami held her head, and she had no idea what was going on anymore. He said,  "L. A. V." Was there someone he knew? She wasn't sure what was going on anymore. Here he is again! He knew something, and he was directly confusing her with it all.

The envelope contains letters from magazines. A knife. That's probably what he was framed with. He has a broken cellphone and a key. It's  evidence.

Para bang matagal na niyang plinano ang lahat ng 'to. His lips formed a smile as he held his chin, "A detective, Minami. A human doll that has been playing through my hands."

Minami considered asking additional questions about the evidence. If he had this evidence in the first place, why not tell the truth about it?

"You always feel like you have to weigh everything on your own just to protect the people you love," she said, clicking her tongue. "I'm confident that no one will ever be able to climb your wall. Because you still don't trust anyone, but isn't this selfish?"

Instead of just telling her the truth, he stared at her closely and said, "Yeah, I don't. But after all of this investigating, I'm not sure either. I don't want to die without telling you the truth."

"Truth—" 

Minami avoided her gaze, feeling slightly ashamed. She wanted to grab him and run away with him. From afar. She could never ask for anything more than to put an end to this judgement day. There is nothing she should be nervous of anymore. Not this time.

"Sasabihin ko lang 'to ng isang beses kaya naman, makinig ka sa'kin." 

Tumango-tango naman si Minami sa sinabi niya at halatang namumula na siya. Her cheeks appeared to be quite red, and she was looking at him straight in the eyes. 'Di naman siya ganito no'n, what caused him to change that way? 

He slowly placed his hands on his face, unbothered about the flow of blood. He was blushing heavily, and Minami found it difficult to believe she was seeing him this way. Saku closed his emotions and appeared to be a jerk who could read people like an x-ray. Is this real? Even she is blushing as a result of this confession! 

He gulped before returning his gaze to her, placing his hand on her head and pouting, "It's difficult to confess, you know. At least say something."

"Bakit? Sanay kang maraming may crush sa' yo?"

'Oh damn, this woman!' Kaya niya pa ba siyang barahin ng ganoon at 'di man lang niya nakikitang halos namumula 'to sa harapan niya ngayon? Talagang pinagtritripan siya ni Minami. Come on! That was the most embarrassing thing he'd ever done. Ever!

"Kailangan nating mahuli 'to! Paanong—"

"Nakakakilig naman sir, hayaan mo na!" sagot naman ng isa pang opisyal at napapikit si Saku dahil sa hiya.

Minami smirked slightly and stared at him warmly. "Saku," she called.

The air was thick in front of the mansion, and she tiptoed to reach his height while feeling a little chilly. It could just be the wind outside. The thunder started cracking as well. Perhaps it has to do with something that may have happened in their fates. Before it was too late, Minami stretched out and kissed his cheeks.

Perhaps it has to do with something that may have happened in their fates. Before it was too late, Minami stretched out and kissed his cheeks. She looked at him lovingly and said, "You asked me before what I really thought about you, right?"

For a while, she wanted to tell him everything. Everything about her emotions. But this was not enough. Because she realized she didn't have enough time due to the likely disaster that might befall them.

"Tell me. Ano bang tingin mo sa 'kin? Is it because we are enemies in our last fate? Is it because I was transformed into someone who will destroy the entire six nations?"

"That's..."

"O dahil sa ako ang nagligtas sa'yo noon sa kuya mo? What was the truth behind this?"

☫✠_____♆_____✡♆

HE SIGHED. And he could only hope that she would receive the message he intended to express. He wants her to solve the case because he believes she is the only one capable of stopping the Fates.

They both stand silently. Right now, they are standing in front of each other, just as they were before. Someone is going to be sacrificed.

Fated Connection.

They had been bound by tragedy, as they had before been. In the past, she stood in front of him as Giovanni, and he killed her. And now, he'll die alongside her because of his commitment to protect her. And what will happen after this? What will happen in this current fate?

"That's—"

Wala siyang idea kung sino 'to, but she is standing up with someone. Katulad ng mga challenger, nakasuot ang mga 'to ng mga hood. However, they do not appear to be mages. Agad tumalikod si Minami para masilayan ang dalawa at tinitigan ang mga 'to.

She wanted to spend time with him. And she will do everything to save him but that thought just disturbs her now that these two are here. And the two of them got closer and activated their magic.

They can shape and manipulate the organic matter of a darker, detrimental nature; that which damages, destroys, and consumes anything they come across, representing the hazardous destructive side of organic matter, which in turn ignores most of the limitations and weaknesses of the normal organic matter.

The power looks to be a gloom-like spiral form with the ability to shape itself. It looks like a black and gloomy thread capable of corrupting anything they touch.

"Minami!"

The dark power is now wrapping her, and all he can do is tighten his teeth and grasp his fist. He dashed over to her, took the envelope from her, and transported it from somewhere else. They cannot have that evidence. He cannot afford to lose against scientists like them.

Huminga 'to ng malalim sa mga pangyayari. Sobrang lakas ng tibok ng puso niya, pakiramdam niya sasabog na 'to. There isn't time to think. It's simply the knowledge that he needs to protect her. Before anything else, he coughed up blood after realizing a lightning bolt had been stabbed into him.

"That's for slashing my neck, you idiot."

The situation has become somewhat more dangerous. There are footsteps around them. The air also seemed changed; it had become like a magical magic that they couldn't break. Everything was dangerous.

Minami's eyes widened and she was left speechless by what had just happened. Pumunta siya mismo sa direksyon ni Saku na halos matumba sa harapan nito and she reached her hand to his face at naramdaman na lang niya ang panginginig ng kanyang katawan. She was unable to understand what had just happened.

"Don't worry, you'll be with him soon." Mara pointed another black thunderbolt at her. She moved closer and stabbed her with the thunderbolt at halos mahulog rin siya kasama ni Saku. She just killed them both.

"You aren't going to change your fates here, Demigods. We're keeping an eye on both of you."

"I see."

The ground began to fall apart and the clouds became gloomy. What surrounded them were Hades' Monsters. Those of Alecto, Megaera, Tisiphone, and Lethe. They were tasked with looking after his son.

But the sight of Hades' son's death is something Hades cannot forgive. Once again, scientists have their methods. And he'll break them all. The monsters are against the scientist as well as some of the Greek gods, thus a war is unavoidable.

In the end, the six nations were destroyed because of the Archduke's demand in destroying Mount Olympus. But now it's different. It was his kid who got involved. Nobody can stop him now that the visions have been seen. The gods' rebellion.

He moved his hands, and the trees suddenly withered, "Furies,"

Furies. They were three goddesses of vengeance and retribution who punished men for crimes against the natural order. They were particularly concerned with homicide, unfilial conduct, offenses against the gods, and perjury. A victim seeking justice could call down the curse of the Erinys upon the criminal.

The most powerful of these was the curse of the parent upon the child--for the Erinyes were born of just such a crime, being sprung from the blood of Uranus, when he was castrated by his son Cronus. 

The wrath of the Erinyes manifested itself in a number of ways. The most severe of these was the tormenting madness inflicted upon a patricide or matricide. Murderers might suffer illness or disease; and a nation harbouring such a criminal, could suffer dearth, and with it hunger and disease.

The wrath of the Erinyes could only be placated with the rite ritual purification and the completion of some task assigned for atonement.

The goddesses were also servants of Haides and Persephone in the underworld where they oversaw the torture of criminals consigned to the Dungeons of the Damned.

Hades gave three women an angry glare and said, "Find those scientists and bring them to the Underworld."

Those three women are depicted as ugly, winged women with hair, arms and waists entwined with poisonous serpents. The sisters wielded whips and were clothed either in the long black robes of mourners, or the short-length skirts and boots of huntress- maidens.

"Yes, sir," the Furies said as they flapped their wings and flew towards the two mysterious mages. Hindi sila mukhang mga karaniwang tao. Walang paraan para makatakas pa sila sa ginawa nila ngayon. Definitely not this time.

May kumatok sa isang pintuan. Mga tatlong katok 'yon. Agad naman binuksan 'to ng isang matanda. Ms. Nuñez opened the door. 

The magical dust disappeared as quickly as it had appeared in the envelope. Saku would never give up, and if there was someone out to kill him, he had no option but to rely on his human toy to solve the case for him.

When she saw the envelope, her eyes widened and she placed her fingers on her chin. "You're very sure how to play a game, aren't you, Saku?"
