Cops think that Homicide is the toughest department, that is until supernatural
get into the picture...
Authors Note: This is also a romance story, which
means you may or may not see a couple we've all come to love, however
I am a
U/M shipper! I can't bear to pair them apart, but I never said anything about
killing them! *evil grin* And more
to come!
"This isn't normally
where I take my lady friends in the evening,"
he said, moving alongside her,
"but it does have its rewards."
- Ravis from 'Barbed Coil' By: J.V. Jones
As she was running into the woods, she could hear
their voices. They were trying to capture her; track her
down like a dog.
The mid December snow fell quietly amid the sounds of the chase. Mounds of white
seemed to
hide the earth, and she kept running as her feet burned in the
frozen snow. That, however, did not even come close to
stopping her from
breaking free of their control on her. She had to get away from that hell that
she was forced live in
while they used her to their liking.
She had
been running for almost an hour and was not in the least tired. Then again, she
never tired from
anything she had ever done. Except for one thing: her life,
and the way she was forced to live it.
Her life was nothing little more
than an act, one of which was for their eyes; the people who had made her.
To be what they wanted her to be, and to do what they commanded her to do
was all she had. She would have to fight
to test her physical limitationsand
be put through torture to measure her mental limit.
Her legs were
carrying her as fast as she could go without even turning back. In a time like
this she was
very glad she wasn't a normal human. Although her feet had
numbed a while ago, she didn't care. She had to get away.
While she ran,
her long golden hair moved around her shoulders as if she were a goddess. The
bitter cold
had given her cheeks a cherry-rose color. She had on a white
long-sleeved shirt along with white pants. On her small
wrists were cuffs
that had been secured right before she escaped.
From her running the way
she had been, and the harsh weather, she wasnt strong enough to break free of
them. If she was a human, her skin would be as blue as her eyes, yet her
lips showed no sign.
The way she was made was to ensure under any
condition that she was able to fight and be one of the
perfect creatures of
the night. She was the only one who had survived what those hell hounds had done
to those with
her, and for that they were going to pay.
For 16 years
she's lived like that. For 16 years she has been through hell and back. For 16
years of a life that
now has ended. For today was the start of a new
life.
*8 Years Later*
Papers,
documents, folders, and pictures were strewn everywhere. It was a Saturday
night, and she was the
only one here working. At least in this department
anyway; for some odd reason the Homicide section had two levels,
one for the
day workers and one for the night owls.
A piece of raven black hair fell
in front of her violet eyes. She brushed it behind her ear and then slumped
down
in her chair. She blew her bangs out of her eyes; no clue as how to
solve this case.
The sound of a door slamming caught her attention. Rei
Hino got up from her chair and greeted her hyper partner,
who was also
carrying a small pizza.
A smile went across the woman's face. "I got a
delivery for a Miss. Pig Headed Bitch here." The woman set the
pizza down
and then sat herself down in her chair.
Rei just grinned and shook her
head, her long hair moving with it. She rubbed her eyes, went into the desk to
receive a purple scrunchie and threw her hair in a ponytail. She looked at
the woman who was sitting at her desk.
"Bun, we gotta get a move on with
this case," Rei said looking at the blonde who had just taken a bite of her
pizza with just about everything on it. Usagi Serenity Ryan was Rei's
partner and long time friend for six years. Her hair
was up in a bun with
pieces of hair falling out here and there. Her eyes were as tired as her own.
She smiled at Bunny
and remembered when her new partner had told her the
nickname; that her real name meant bunny in japanese. Everyone a
round here
called her Bunny.
"We have nowhere to go on this. No leads; no nothing.
And we better find something before the captain blows a lid."
The blonde
then rubbed her own eyes and yawned. Rei raised an eyebrow at this.
"How
long have you been up?" Rei tugged her ponytail tighter as she saw Bunny narrow
her eyes.
"About three or four days, why?" She had finished her slice of
pizza and had started on an other one.
Rei sighed and shook her head. It
figured that it was more then two days. Bunny was known for handling forty-eight
hour shifts in the office. Rei usually forced her to go home and get some
sleep. But right now, that would be a waste of time
and she knew it.
Everyone knew how thickheaded that blonde was.
"Besides the case,
what's up between you and Mr. The-Most-Perfect-Man Chad?" Bunny wiggled her
eyebrows,
causing Rei to laugh.
"Nothing that concerns you,
blondie."
"Now you know that isn't fair. I tell you everything about
every detail of my love life."
"You mean lack there of?" The raven haired
female smirked and the blonde pouted. They both went for one of their
little
staring wars, acting as if they were in the fifth grade. Though in a matter of
minutes from the weirdest looks they were
giving one another they both broke
down in a fit of childish giggles.
Rei stood up and walked around to
stretch her achy limbs and sore behind from sitting too long. She went to the
window to admire the view that this office was able to provide. She was able
to sense her partner walking towards her
without even looking behind her.
When she looked she saw her friend, Rei tried to give a smile, but her friend
could tell
it was a very sad one.
Bunny had known that it was odd for
Rei to go to the window considering what had happened. The thing was her
mother
loved the view from a birds POV. She would draw as if she was in a
plane looking down on the earth below. She knew
that Rei only went to look
out a window like this when she needed her Mom. Mrs. Hino had passed away from
an illness. One
that no one could figure out how she contracted it. She and
her daughter had been very close, and Bunny had also grown close to the
old
woman who always had stories about everything, and spoke her mind on how she
felt, about anything.
She didn't care who you were, also the very same way
that Rei acted towards everyone.
Rei was silent for a couple of minutes
while looking to the night sky. She twirled a piece of her dark locks in her
fingers. She looked over to her left and saw that her partner was right next
to her, elbows propped up on the windowsill
and her head resting on her
hands. Her hair looked like it was gonna come loose at any moment, then she
laughed. Both of
them looked like hell.
"I say we give this goddamn
thing a break and go munch on that pizza you got us, though I'm pretty sure it's
about
halfway gone by now," she said while almost slipping a giggle at the
last part.
Bunny just shook her head, then gave Rei a playful smack on
the arm. She started to walk back over and could hear her
partner quietly
laughing. She turned around and the raven one just gave a look of innocence. She
let out an 'oh boy' before Rei ran
past her to their desks and plopped down
in her chair. Bunny then sat down in her chair. Once settled, she reached for a
piece of
pizza, and they ate peacefully while sitting with their desks
face-to-face, and their smiles told all of the gossiping that would
follow.
A lone man was sitting in his
black leather chair while pulling out two pale yellow folders from a desk next
to where
he sat. Each of them had papers and photos. One had a picture of a
man with dirty blonde hair and the other a female
with pitch black hair,
with blue highlights to them. He studied the woman very closely; his eyes with a
look of wanting
in them, almost like a look of being apart from the one you
loved.
A sound at the door knocked him out of his thoughts. He got up
from his chair and went to see who was there at this
ungodly hour. A look of
slight shock registered on his face as he opened the door, but it only lasted
for a split second. Before him
stood a man with bright red hair and red
eyes. Both of them stood there watching each other as if one would disappear if
they were
to blink their eyes.
The one with the red raised an eye
then finally spoke. "Are you just gonna make me stand here all night?" He gave
in a
mocking tone.
"Maybe I should. And might I ask why the hell are
you here?" He didn't look to happy about having a visitor in his
humble
abode.
"A guy can't just visit his big brother whenever?" He said with a
cheer in his own standards.
"Robert, you're gonna have to answer better.
Now why are you here?"
"Can you at least let me in?"
"Fine, come
in," the elder said after he stepped aside for his younger brother to pass
through.
Robert then walked in and sat down in one of the many chairs in
the room. He looked back to where his brother was
standing, but saw him
walking back to the spot he was always in. He looked at his brother and examined
the disheveled
look he had. His sandy blonde hair was messed up, and his
blue eyes had bags under them.
"Now that you're seated, tell me why you
are here."
"Jed, really, why are you in the anger mode?" He gave a dark
smile. "Anyway, the reason that I am here is ... well, ya
see, the thing
is..." He stopped in mid-sentence to scratch the back of his neck.
Jed
sighed and shook his head. "You need money again." It was more a statement then
a question.
"No, I do not need money," he said, mocking his older
brother's tone of voice.
"Then what?"
"Information on a certain
Gloria Steel. I need some kind of background check on her."
The blonde
haired man started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"It seems you're
trying to get information on a ghost. You know as well as I that she is very
clever when it comes to
her game of many faces, many names. You also know
that she is very good at it."
"What do you think I should do? I can't
have her ruin me."
A sly smile came across Jed's face. "Are you in
contact with her?"
"Yea, why?"
"Well, then why do you need me? We
are Toleys after all. Just do what we all do best."
Robert leaned further
back into the chair and sighed. "Which is 'deceive those who we want.' She seems
to be tougher
though. She knows mind games; hell, she's the master. I will
get her though."
"Remember not to get caught," he said in a tired voice.
The redhead then stood up to leave. He looked over to his brother who
had his head resting on his one hand, while the
other was holding a black
coffee mug. He thought about what his brother had said. He took another breath
and turned
the handle and
left.
