Your alarm blared in your ear, jarring you awake. You looked around in a daze before remembering what was today. Wanting to get ready on time, you jumped out of bed, going into the bathroom. Kiji was already  there. He had woken up early and was almost done getting ready. Once you entered the room, he turned to you, a small smile on his face. "Daaaaarliiiiing~" he said, walking towards you, grabbing you and leading you to the vanity, lifting you onto it so he could easily reach your head, "Now lets see what your hair looks like!" 'so that's why he seemed so exited' you thought, allowing him to gently take out the curlers that he placed into your hair the night before. After he was done. He stepped back, hand on his chin and a quizzical expression on his face. 'oh crap oh crap oh crap' you thought to yourself, thinking your hair was messed up. "sooo?" you said, nervously. "Darling, I have to tell you something but you have to promise not to freak out" 'yup, totally screwed' you thought, trying not to die inside. You nodded your head gravely. 'I'm going to have to go to the case looking like a witch' you thought glumly. "Okay, darling. You look..... ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE" "KIJI YOU JERK"  You sighed in relief as he fangirled about how curly hair suited you. You rolled your eyes and tried to get down, but was stopped by him. "Ah, ah, ah, we still have a little bit more to do" You groaned as you knew your fate was sealed. There was no escape.

After a good bit of time applying makeup and tugging on your hair, Kiji was finally done with his 'masterpiece'. After he let you down, you timidly looked in the mirror, afraid of looking like a drag queen. But, to your surprise, Kiji had done a great job. The foundation matched your skin perfectly. The elegantly done eyeliner and maskcara make your (e/c) eyes pop. He had chosen a lightly tented lip gloss along with a light pink blush. The small amount of color contrasted beautifully with your black and white attire. "Kiji, it's great. Thanks!" you said as you smiled and hugged him. He hugged you back, careful not to mess up your makeup, "Can't have my little star going there looking less than perfect, can I" you chuckled. Kiji smiled and handed you your clothes. The reality set in. You were about to go on. It would all be on you. Everything you had done was on the line. A criminal being brought to justice was on the line. Enki was on the line. Panic set in and you stood there, not yet reaching for the clothes. Kiji noticed and said, "It's okay darling, you have everything done. You'll do great." You let out a nervous laugh and took the clothes, pushing way the panic. He left the room and you changed. Of course, everything fit perfectly. You looked in the mirror. You looked-"Oh, my. You look like an adult now" you turned to the door only to see Kenshiro standing there. You smiled and muttered a thanks. "My little pup is all grown up now" He went to ruffle your hair, but was smacked away by Kiji, who then fussed him for almost 'messing everything up' You rolled your eyes and walked passed them. You looked at your watch. It was almost time to go. You grabbed everything, which Kiji had organized in a sleek looking briefcase. You mentally thanked him for it and went to the door. "Hey guys" you yelled, "It's time to go" They both walked out. They were both going to be used as witnesses, so they were going with you. You all went to the car. The drive there was filled with small talk, trying to keep you from panicking again. You had never been to the courtroom before. It turned out to be a grand building, lavishly decorated with over-stuffed chairs, intricate carpets, stone statues, and more. There were many well-dressed people laundering around, talking about their cases and what not. You didn't know what to do, but Kiji seemed to. You walked behind him as he walked up to a desk and rang the bell. 'this isn't like other courtrooms, is it' you thought to yourself. A man walked up. "We're here for Enki Gokuu." The man nodded and typed on the computer. "Is (l/n), (f/n) present" You timidly walked up. He scanned your eyes with a weird machine, then told you to go to 3a. Kiji then led you to a room that had that number written on top. Everyone was there. Samon, Kenshiro, Kiji, Hajime, Momoko, Li Jing, Upa, Liang. Everyone. After making small talk, it was time to go in. Everyone knew their parts. You knew what you were going to do. You knew that Liu Wei was guilty. You knew that Enki was innocent. You had one shot to prove it. As you walked into the room, Liu Wei was sitting there in handcuffs. A satisfying sight. Your heart was beating a hundred miles an hour as you sat in the front seat, right in front of the judge. Liu Wie's lawyer then walked in, looking as snobby as ever. Wei sat next to him, glaring at you all the while. You took a few calming breaths. Then, all of the talking stopped as the one you were defending entered the room. Hushed whispers of resentment whipped across the room as Enki took a seat next to you. He was in cuffs. He looked down at you and gave you a reassuring smile. You calmed down a bit. He put his hand on top of yours under the table. (both lovers and friends hold hands, so there's no need for two different things) You squeezed his hand as the Judge called the room to order, officially starting the trial of Lui Wei vs Enki Gokuu.

Welp, that was fun. The trial starts next chapter, which should be out by either 6/20 or 6/21. Thanks for sticking around this long, guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! So YEET
