An orange fell out of the bag the blonde held as she tried to open the door to her apartment.
Sighing as she set the bags down, and then picking up the fallen fruit, placed it back in her bag. Never
really having any time to do any shopping with her odd hours, she had gone shopping earlier that day,
storing them in the Captains office.

She was extremely tired, and her stubborn partner made her leave to get some sleep. Promising
that she would only put the files she had back in the order they had been before she had made a mess out
of everything, which usually ended up happening.

A second frustrated sigh escaped her lips as she jiggled the door to her apartment. Lugging the
bags in, she placed them on the table closest to the door and then shut the door with her foot. She
stretched her arms over her head and yawned. She was usually able to stay up for more hours than
normal people, a habit she had gotten when she was a little girl.

She had never been able to sleep from the way her parents always fought. They had never
really gotten along during the time they spent married. So a way to not be bothered by it would be to
read, and try to ignore everything else around her. She would also go outside and just sit, so learning
early in life about the horrors in everyday troubles.

In high school and in college she never really dated. Sure a few guys here and there but she
was usually scared to do anything else. For the fear of being hurt if she ever fell in love. She knew that
people often fell out of love, she just didn't like the idea of her being one of those people that it
happened too.

After their split up, her father remarried an evil type of bitch. She only married him for his
money, though by the time he died she was more then pissed when she found out that Bunny had gotten
everything that was in will. Nothing went to anyone else, except for his ex-wife. A few personal items the
two had both had at one time, but all bank accounts and everything of value went to his daughter.

So of course the whore tried to pull Bunny into court, but in the end, she wound up paying
thousands of dollars for the help of the lawyer, Bunny didn't have to pay a dime, she was able to defend
herself. Having a law degree and being an ex-lawyer helped also. And this was only last year. Her step
sisters didn't take the news very well either, and the mother just wound up killing herself. So now the
two wack-jobs of stepsisters were now in special mental care.

Far past any amount of time for anyone to be up, the ringing of a phone was heard and snapped the
blonde out of her thoughts out of her past.

"Someone better be dead." She mumbled into the receiver.

"That's a fine way to say hello." She heard a light voice through the phone. Bunny slouched
down into the lazy-boy chair and looked over to the window.

"Why the hell are you up at this hour?"

"Aww, ca'mon! 'Sides, have you forgot the fact that we're almost 12 hours away from each
other! Opps, then again I think I forgot! Sumimasen Usagi." Her cousin muttered the last part in Japanese.

"Kamaimasen." The blonde answered back. "I was up anyway."

"Ok, so how is everything?"

"It's ok, new case and all. How's the flower shop doing?"

"Oh, it's perfect! I always thought I wanted to own my own cafe or something, but this is so
relaxing!"

"That's lovely to hear. I have to go before I drop from lack of energy. Oyasuminasai itoko."
She whispered into the telephone before hanging up. She then went straight to bed. After she felt her white
cat, Zoi, jump up and lay next to her she drifted into the land of sleep.







Rei walked into the office with a few pale folders in her left hand, and a cup of hot tea in the
other. Unlike Bunny she didn't like the strong taste of coffee. Earlier that morning they had found a
witness to the case they had been working on and it was enough evidence to seal the damned thing.

She found out that Bunny wasn't at her desk, and had called in telling them she'd be in a little
late, the captain knowing how she was with the case hadn't cared. Most of the time their captain always
seemed to have a really bad case of PMS. Rei really felt bad for her husband, also a Captain in another
part of the building.

She went over to her desk and started the paperwork that the DA's office would soon have to
fill out. And then the ago-old sending half of it back for them to work over again. Sometimes she really hated this job,
most of it was paperwork, it wasn't all bang-bang like in the movies.

About an hour later she noticed a very ruffled looking blonde slide into her seat. She looked up
to her partner and just shrugged. "I take it your body still hates you."

Bunny glared at the raven haired detective. "It'll get over it." She then took out a brush and
smoothed out her silvery-blonde hair.

"Ryan! Hino! I want both of you in my office now!" They both looked at each other then stood
up to face their own version of the wicked witch of the West.

Rei walked in first, then Bunny shut the door behind them. They each took a seat in the small
sized office then waited for their captain to tell them what they did this time.

"Yea Capt.?"

"I have a new case for both of you." She calmly stated as she looked at the horror stricken
detectives

"Already? Don't we usually have a two day wait around here?"

"Well, if you wouldn't interrupt me, you would know why Hino." Rei just glared at her. She
wasn't known for her good manners.

"Then why." She spoke with more venom she intended. She didn't like the idea of having to go
through another case, when they just sealed one hours before.

"As much as I hate to admit this, you two are my best." She said as she tucked away a stray
piece of poorly dyed red hair behind her ear. (AN- I don't hate redheads! I swear, I was one!)

"Aww, thanks for the endearing compliment." Speaking for the first time being in the room,
Bunny said with sarcasm dripping in her voice.

Captain Stevens just glared at her detective. "A Dr. Mamoru Chiba called and requested that I
send my two best."

For a moment the captain didn't speak. Both Rei and Bunny looked at each other. "For what
reason?"

"There was a murder, and since it's in our jurisdiction, he called ahead of time."

Bunny rolled her eyes. "How convenient."

"Quiet Ryan. So I'm sending both of you. And if either of you don't like it, turn in your badge and
gun." She received glares from both of them. She took a pen from her desk and wrote down the address.
"Take it and go."

And in which they did.






Chiba Mamoru stood in his friend's kitchen while the police isolated the master bedroom.
Where his friend's now dead wife was. They had both been at work that night, and Mamoru was just
going to spend the night in their guest room. When they had gotten there, Thomas screamed and Mamoru
ran up to see what the problem was.

When he had reached the room, he saw what had upset Tom. In their sheets laid Tabbie with
her stomach sliced open from her navel to her throat. Also the skin had been pulled back to reveal the
heart. It was a sign that their worst nightmare had happened.

"Is there a Dr. Chiba here?" He was jarred out of his thoughts by having his name being called.
He looked up to see two women standing in front of him.

"I am. Who's asking?" He said with a slight Japanese accent.

"We are, I'm Detective Usagi Ryan, and this is my partner Detective Rei Hino."

Mamoru looked over the blonde and smiled. "Your captain didn't tell me she was sending one of
her most lovely officers."

Bunny just glared at him. "Just show us to the scene, and we'll be out of here." She looked over
to the other man standing next to him. She recognized him from the file she went over before Rei and
herself came over.

"Mr. Sanders, can you tell me what happened?" Rei spoke up for the first time being there. She
glanced over to her partner. "Bunny, I got it. Just go and check it out."

The blonde just nodded and followed Mamoru.





"Why did you request us?" She asked the man called Chiba Mamoru. She looked him over, he
had dark hair, the same color as Rei. His eyes were blue, but it looked as if it had gold specks in them. He
looked to be about 6'4. and had tan colored skin.

"This is a . . . unique situation. I needed two people who could do this without asking questions."
He looked down at her.

"Then I guess you got the wrong people. When I want to know some, I get it. One way or
another." He raised an eyebrow.

"Does that include sleeping with suspects, cause I'll be more then happy to oblige." She looked
at him with furry in her eyes. How dare he! His friend's wife is dead somewhere in this house, and he's
flirting?!?

"Just show me where the body is."

He was about to say something smart, but she saw a piece of yellow tape upstairs, and left him
behind.

When she went in she saw the familiar team of their guys at forensics, well mostly guys. "Rita.
What you got here?" Bunny exclaimed while walking over to the covered body, she was about to lift the
cover, but Rita grabbed her wrist.

"I wouldn't do that. I'd just read the file report, I was gagging, and you know my tolerance."

Rita was right, she had a very good stomach out on the field. And if she couldn't handle it, then
Bunny sure as hell couldn't. "Yea, that's a good idea."

"Where's fireball at?" The tall brunette asked.

"Downstairs with the husband."

"Black or blonde?"

"The blonde. Though his friend needs to learn how to treat a lady." She said as she went over
to where Rita had some evidence. "Well, down to business."






Mamoru went back downstairs after leading the cop up to the room. He just wished they didn't
meet here of all places. He had to admit he was very happy he had called the police station ahead of time
asking for two good cops. If not he would probably have been with two lazy men, who couldn't care less
just finding anyway out of the case.

These girls seemed different however, and from their record, they went all out for their job.
The blonde one seemed to memorize him, Usagi . . . sounds Japanese, but her last name isn't. He already
knew of Ms. Hino. Her family is quite known in Tokyo for their shrine. He met the family, a they said that
their other members lived in Philadelphia. (AN- Hey, thats the only city I know how to describe, last time
I made up stuff, I got flamed!)

". . . and that's what happened." He heard Tom tell to the detective.

"And where do you work at?" She asked him.

"New Jersey. S&C INC. It's by Cherry Hill, when you get off the Betsey Ross Bridge."

She nodded, and wrote it down on her memo pad. She then noticed that he was there and was
about to ask him a question. "Everything you need to know, you already do, I was with him. If you were
asking where your gorgeous partner was, she's upstairs." Rei raised an eyebrow and left the room.







"Buns!" Rei exclaimed and saw the glow of blonde and silver in the corner of the room.

"Over here." She answered back.

"Oh, hey. Well, as I was saying this was strange that they would leave a calling card at the
scene of a murder." She heard Rita say as she lifted up a plastic bag with a white piece of paper with
red and silver writing engraved on it.

"So they wanted to be known." Rei sighed.

They heard a guy calling over Rita and she told them she'd be right back to explain the other
things they had found. "So I see you have a new catch."

Bunny looked up from the card to her friend. "Who? The corpse over there? Sorry, I don't go
for redheads."

Rei laughed. "I mean that nice doctor downstairs. He seems to be smitten with you."

Bunny's eyes bulged out. "How can you people think of that at a time like this?"

"Time like what? This is what we do, stand over dead bodies and find the person who made
them that way."

"No way, even if I didn't meet him here he lacks everything I would need. Name one thing I
want from him"

"Umm how about a. . . " Rei saw Rita and answered the rest in Japanese, " . . . seiseikatsu?

Bunny's eyes narrowed. "Tondemonai!" She hit her. "Shame on you."

Rita was confused. She needed to learn how to speak that, so they didn't have a high step on
her.

"Ca'mon, you two need to get going. Other people to see, to threaten. Ya know, go get going."
The brunette said to the two.

"Yes, mother." Bunny said, while receiving a gasp from her friend. "We'll see you later."
