WANTED:PERFECT HERO.. lover??

Chapter 1: D' Detective

"What is it now?" the brown-haired guy asked, stretching his tired arms, while dim sunlight streamed through the windows. "Obviously, we have a new case on the block. This one's pretty easy," the navy blue- haired guy explained. "Easy? There's never an easy case. Even a simple robbery down the block couldn't be easy," replied the amber-eyed guy tiredly. "Well, this one's less "harassing" to do," the dark blue- eyed guy said.

"Hiiragizawa, look, why not give the other officers the work? Besides, that is why they are here. In this department. If you keep on passing most of the cases to me, you'll also have a case of Officer Xiao Lang Li murdered in his very office by his very own fellow policemen," the tired guy groaned. "Your kidding, right?" Eriol asked, scratching his head, then sitting on the desk of Syaoran. "I am not. The others are starting to get quite envious about my position," Syaoran replied, annoyed.

"But.. I have to admit, you're the best one in the Department. You solve cases in flash, handle your gun well even when you are in a big hurry, and still kick some bad- guy butt," Eriol explained.

Well, yeah. You're right about that one thing, Syaoran thought. Really, are my other fellow officers policemen? I can't blame Chief and Eriol for regarding me that high. Hey, the others are still good, but, I feel when I'm working with them, it is like.. chicken feed, he thought more deeply. However, even though I'm that good, I do become tired. I need a break. There's no thrill in the cases I solve, 'cause I become more and more bored, like each problem I solve is just a simple pain in the back that I can easily take off. Isn't there any other case that can give me the "high"? No excitement, at all… he began to think more deeply, when..

"Li!" Eriol interrupted his thoughts. "Are you listening? You'll have to solve this one! Okay? It's you, not them!" Eriol sort of commanded Li with a kinda annoyed look.

"I'm tired. Just pass it on, will ya? See you at lunch break," Syaoran stood up, and walked out of the room, yawning.

"Li! Syaoran Li come back here!" Eriol, shouted suddenly stood up and went after him, but he wasn't there anymore.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Geez, and to think that being a policeman/detective will be such a good, repaying job," Li muttered under his breath while the autumn air surrounded him. It was late August, and the air was starting to get nippy. "Great, the weather to match my attitude," he muttered some more, pulling his jacket closer.

"HEY!" Li suddenly stooped in his tracks, shouting. "I need a break here! Maybe even then, a much thrilling and reasonable case for me will be quite reassuring," he stretched his arms, look up to the sky, and shouted even louder. "HEY! Can you hear me, people? I need to at least use my "powers" the right and efficient way!!" (good thing there was not much people around).

He was there, standing in the middle of the sidewalk, when he heard a scream. A shrill, eardrum- breaking scream. "HHEEEEELLLLPPP!!! NNOOOOO!!!!"

"Oh, no, don't tell me this is another raid," Syaoran mumbled as he ran fast towards the sound of the screaming.

As he ran, he saw a man in an all-black outfit in the dark alley, carrying a wielder knife, about to plunge it deep to the girl who was pinned to the wall, nearly fainting with every scream she can release.

"STOP! Police!" Li shouted to the man. He was about to get his gun in his pocket when he remembered he left it inside his drawer! "Drat," he muttered, trying to act casual as he finally reached the man, who paused his arm in mid-air when he heard Syaoran shout.

"Let go of the girl," Li told the man calmly. The guy sort of relented, and took the girl by the crook of his arm. "No," the man simply said.

"C'mon," Li encouraged. "I said it once, and I'll say it again. Let go of the girl." "NO! I said NO!" the man even tightened his grip on the girl.

"Please, get me out of this alive," the girl pleaded weakly.

"SHUT UP!" the man grabbed the girl's hair.

"Ouch! Please, no!" the girl cried out.

While Syaoran was trying to get the man to release the girl, he was also frantically thinking of a way to get the man to his knees. No gun, Syaoran thought. Maybe a little tricking can do it.

"Drop the girl! Don't hurt her!" Syaoran ordered.

"Make me!" the man gritted his teeth.

"Drop her.. Or I'll shoot!" Li shouted. He had to, since a crowd was starting to form behind him, all whispering and some talking in fear all at the same time.

Crowds, Syaoran thought.

"Oh yeah? Show me you can shoot then!" the guy shouted back. Obviously in his middle 20's, Li thought. He saw the man move the weak girl in front of him, as if to protect himself.

"Want me to do it? Sure!" Li put his hand behind his jacket and made it look like he was getting his gun.

"I thought police get their guns from their pockets!" the man asked, quite trembling based on the tremor if his voice.

""Well. You don't know policemen these days," Li said, his hand lamely behind his jacket. "We also have our style of hiding arms. Now drop the girl and the knife!" Li suddenly formed a "hand gun" behind his jacket. Stricken, the man dropped the girl, dropped his knife, and fell to his knees. "Please, don't shoot me!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Good job and thinking, Officer Li," Chief of Police Yamazaki( hey, don't blame me if I can't think of any names! At least, this is different. Isn't it? ) congratulated Li with a salute.

"Just doing my job, sir," Li returned his salute.

"Well then, I'll just go and check how the interview is going with the man and the girl," and Chief walked away.

"Nice one, Li!" Eriol came from behind and slapped Li on the back. "maybe I can try the gun thing next time."

"Believe me, it won't work," Li kidded. "So, who was the man and the girl?"

"The man's name is Chien Tao, 24 years old, an electrician, has 4 younger siblings, a sick mother, and a gambling father," Eriol narrated. "He seems to have attacked the girl because of a her connection with the person who kicked his father out of a bodyguard job because his dad was a gambler and drinker, not to mention selling opium. That pretty girl," Eriol smirked, "is the close friend and relative of the person. Her name's Tomoyo Daidouji, 17-18 years old, an owner of a fashion designing company, single(Eriol smiled some more) and is living with her mother, Sonomi Daidouji. Since the attacker didn't have the chance to attack the real person, he attacked Daidouji," Eriol finished.

"Hmn, okay, I'll just check the girl," Syaoran said and walked towards the girl with gentle blue eyes and waist-length raven black- hair who was covered with a towel and drinking hot chocolate. "Feeling better?" he asked.

"Huh?" the girl looked up weakly. "Oh! It's you mister.."

"Li, Officer Syaoran Li," he finished.

"Yes, the man who saved my life. Thank you," Tomoyo said, bowing her head.

"No, it's nothing. It's my job, Miss Daidouji." –Li

"But you are very good with your job, ne?"-Tomoyo

"Uh..yes," Li replied. "Are your folks picking you up?"

"Well, my cousin called and said that she is going to pick me up right away," Tomoyo said, smiling weakly. "You know how worried people can get," she finished.

No, I don't. Syaoran thought. I don't have any cousins to worry about me. My mother is in Hong Kong, against my job, together with my 4 sisters. Eriol is my only family here, even though we just met about 3 to 4 years ago, we are really close. But aside form that, no more. He kinda became sad upon the thought.

"Daijobu desu ka? Are fine, Mr. Li?"- Tomoyo

"Huh?? Oh, yes I am," he simply gave a feeble smile to Tomoyo, who gave the same one back.

Suddenly, a limo look- a- like(which means not a really long black or white one, juat a bit more smaller than the real limo), parks up near the sidewalk.

"Oh! My they are here!" Tomoyo exclaims.

"Really? Where?" Li turns to the direction where Tomoyo is pointing.

And the window of the "limo " slowly goes down…
