Screaming from both directions. People everywhere are yelling. I'm not insane. I'm not! Why are they trying to lock me in a cage? Even if I WAS insane, that's not an excuse! Then I would be in a mental asylum! Not in a big metal cage. I bit. Yelled. Kicked. But I lost in the end. As I was thrown in, that woman locked me in the bars. She has pretty pink hair and blue eyes. She should be nice! Why is she so mean? It's not fair. My mother had a broken look on her face as I was wheeled away. But something tells me this is nowhere near the last time I will see this cage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"ARE YOU DEAF?! I SAID LET HER GO!" I ran to the people who were grabbing her, but got pushed to the ground. She looked at me with the kind eyes she always had. "Hush. It's alright. Don't worry about me. Run. Save yourself." I was fighting tears. It's not my fault she wanted to save the final gift our parents could give to her. "No. I CAN'T LET THE-" "I'll be alright! I mean, I always have, haven't I? Your the best person ever. I don't want to be separated from you. So run." I was freely crying now. Before I could even think of obeying her wishes, two more of those thugs grabbed me. "No. NO! IF YOU DARE HURT HIM- RUN, NOW!" She screamed.

"I CANT LOOSE YOU!!!!!!"

"Ugh, the news for today sucks." I whined. We need new news. Something that you can't just get anywhere. But have WE heard anything? The boss will fire us for sure! "I know! And we will just get sued if we try to get into anything juicy." My friend also mentioned. "True." That's when a third voice interrupted. "You want to work on a new scoop, huh?" Both of us flinched in unison. Boss! "Ma'am, it's not what it looks like!" "We weren't slacking, we swear!" The boss sighed in slight annoyance. "I can't blame you two. Nothing good has come up.... until now. Miss Kasane, please come to my office." Wah? She wants ME to work on a case? ME??? I awkwardly followed her, when she pulled out a file, and assorted pictures in front of me. The exterior looks like a factory of some sort, but the inside almost looks like a prison. Okay. I'm confused. The third picture shows a door saying "CAUTION: DO NOT ENTER. HIGH RANK EMPLOYEES AND SELECTED CHILDREN ONLY". Huh. The boss paced back and forth, hair swiveling with her every step. "These images are all of a mental asylum known as 'Building of Happy'. It has been said to release children who return to sanity every day, but something about it is quite odd." She points to the third picture. "The sign on this door is very specific. Nobody else except for these designated people have ever even glanced upon the inside of this room. You have a habit of throwing yourself through security as if it was nothing. So, how about it?" I jumped up and down with glee. My own case! I am so excited. Kasane Project: Building of Happy is a go!

.... Don't act like you are surprised anymore... just don't. Anyways, TECHNICALLY -Chi_Chan- requested this, but I was probably going to do it anyways. Because people forget how tragic it is sometimes. And what's a story by Crystal without the little Crystal twist, eh?

So here we are.

Yay.
