Broken Mirror
by KUROXFAI
Loud rap music accompanied them out of the house party, as they walked past many couples hanging out on the lawn. Ashura was draped around his boyfriend Fai's shoulders from behind.
"You know, you know I really..." started Ashura
"No. Do not start the 'I love you' stuff" said Fai
Ashura laughing, turned Fai around by the shoulders, and said,
"Why?"
" You only say it when your drunk " muttered Fai.
"No, I don't, because I am not drunk right now." said Ashura swinging their intertwined hands while walking backwards so he could face Fai, who's long ice blonde hair was framing his face. Laughing Fai said, "Oh really?", " Ok, I am just buzzed a little bit" admitted Ashura. "Buzzed, is what drunk people tell themselves so they think they're not drunk." stated Fai. Suddenly Ashura darted forward to try and snatch the keys off the chain hanging from Fai's neck. "No, No." said Fai laughing.
"Touch your finger to your nose" explained Fai.
"Fine" said Ashura laughing, as he advanced on Fai, capturing his hands. He then proceeded to touch his nose to Fai's finger tips.
Laughing, Fai said, "Your fingers."
" Walk a straight line, come on." said Fai
Slowly Ashura put one foot in front of the other, and walked till, he could reach behind Fai's head, and pull him into a deep and breath-taking kiss. "Ok, ok. You can drive." sighed Fai as the kiss ended. "Alright" drawled Ashura, as he took off towards the car.
Driving at the speed limit, towards Fai's house, they were playing around. Ashura had Fai's left hand, because it was close enough for him to hold while he was driving, and was kissing their intertwined fingers. "Look at the road Casanova" giggled Fai. "Fine, as long as you tell me you love me" sighed Ashura. "Ok," Fai said coyly, " I do love you." Ashura started laughing at Fai's demeanor. " Now, get your eyes on the road." Fai glanced at the road, and yelled "ASHURA!!! look out". As they screeched to a halt mere inches from the bumper of a black SUV in the middle of the road.
Gasp gasp, " Are you ok?" panted Ashura. Fai glanced over, and admitted a small "yeah...".
"What the hell is he doing just sitting in the middle of the dam road?" asked Ashura angrily. Turning off the engine, and leaving the keys in the ignition, Ashura got out of the car, with Fai following slowly. Slowly advancing on the abandoned vehicle, Fai voiced his opinion of what might have happened, " Maybe he broke down, and couldn't move it."
Fai wait cautiously at the back of the vehicle, slightly nervous. While Ashura advanced towards the drivers window. He looked back motioning for Fai to stay where he was, while he cautiously cupped his hands to the darkly tinted window and peered in.
"Ashura..." Fai muttered nervously. "Ashura.." Fai tried again, this time reaching meekly towards him. "We, we should probably just, just turn around and go back."Why didn't they just pull it off the side of the road" wondered Ashura aloud. " Ashura, Ashura, can we please just go." begged Fai a little exasperatedly.
"Fine" said Ashura. They both walked back to the vehicle, and got in. Ashura stopped, and looked for the keys, he then felt around for them. "Do you have the keys?" he asked Fai. Fai looked around nervously, and responded "No, we left them in the car." Ashura leaned down, looking under the dashboard and said " Yeah, I think. I don't no." " Well they have to be here somewhere." stated Fai. While they looked, Ashura facing into the back of the car, away from the driver-side window, and Fai between the two seats, a dark figure emerged from in front of the car. Fai looked up, horrified. Ashura noticing his reaction looked up at him. "Fai?" For tears had started to well in Fai's eyes, because he had spotted the .44 caliber pistol stuck through the open window right behind Ashura's head.
Fai started to whimper, as Ashura slowly turned around, to face the pistol in his face. BANG!. A shot rang out into the lonely and dark night.

Mean while at the BAU
Watanuki and Domeki were walking through the halls of the BAU talking about one of their most recent cases, when Sakura` walked past and said with a smile to Domeki " I put those transcripts on your desk." "Those weren't rush, you could have left them in your office" said Domeki with a smirk. "I know" replied Sakura` with a coy smirk, as she sauntered past.
"Most be tough, man." sighed Watanuki.
Laughing Domeki replied "Not really." He then slung his arm around Watanuki's shoulders.
"What do you mean?" asked a completely baffled Watanuki," having women throwing themselves at you."
"Strictly off limits" replied Domeki with a grin. "There is no code of conduct that says agents can't socialize" replied Watanuki matter-of-factly.
"Well you see, my code of survival says 'Never mess with a women that carries a gun.' " Laughing Domeki lead Watanuki away.
Meanwhile, Mokono Modoki, a rather nicely figured agent, strode very purposefully towards the office of one Rikou Himura. As she walked in she caught on to part of a conversation he was having. " So it sounds like bed rest, is not being very restful." "Bed rest is more like bed . But in ten minutes I get to turn onto my right side, that'll be a thrill" Knock knock. He held up if finger, signaling he would be done in a minute. "Well, you just try to relax a little, and get a bit of rest." " I love you". Himura hung up the phone and turned towars Mokona. " Everything ok?" she asked. "Yeah, "sigh" the doctors are worried about Kazahaya's blood sugar levels, and his oxygen levels." "He wants out of the hospital." she said. "Is it here?"he asked. "Yeah.." she said. As they exited the office Rikou called down to his other team members "Watanuki, Domeki. The documents are up on the screen about the kidnapping in Osaku."
"Any ransom yet?" asked Watanuki. " Yeah.." replied Rikou.
"Well what's it say?" asked Watanuki again. "It says, we have till eight o'clock tonight."
"You will follow instructions carefully. You will do this to ensure the safety of your daughter. You will wait for the call. You will answer the call, at 8pm. You will write down the instructions, and follow them to the letter" read Watanuki.
"That gives us less then nine hours to get to Osaku, and to work our victimology on Fai Flourite, and prepare his parents for the ransom drop." stated Rikou.
"How do we know the letters real?" asked Kurogane. Speaking for the first time that evening.
"Uh, here," Rikou then proceeded to use the computer to show the comparison of the hand writing, while finishing his explanation "the hand writing matches Fai's. He dictated it to her." "The only thing not identifies on the paper are these." He zoomed in on three oval splotches on the corner of the letter.
"They're tears." muttered Kurogane.
"He never says 'I'" noted Domeki. "He doesn't say ' I will call', he says ' you will answer'. He is distancing himself from the kidnapping. If he had said 'I' he would be taking responsibility for it." he explained.
" He also doesn't mention police or law-enforcement." mentioned Rikou
"Your right" exclaimed Mokona, "almost all ransom notes forbid the involvement of law-enforcement."
"So, is he expecting law-enforcement to get involved?" asked Rikou
" Well, if he's expecting us, lets not disappoint him."states Kurogane.
Well, I hope you darlings liked it. please R and R. Also constructive criticism is accepted, key word being constructive. This is yet again, an un-beta-ed story.
