Finally, a Lupin fic from yours' truly! God it's been a while since I've done anything Lupin...anyway, this first chapter is told in the eyes of our favorite ramen-addicted inspector, Kouichi Zenigata. I hope I've only done the Inspector to the best of my ability as to where I hope I haven't failed him.

Lupin the Third, Kouichi Zenigata belong to Monkey Punch
The Clyde inspector belongs to me

Chapter 1: DAMNIT LUPIN!!

It was the usual night at Interpol. I was doing yet another report on my main target; Lupin the Third. The sneaky bastard always had a way of escape regardless if it was a car...a helicopter...or a submarine. He always had a plan just as I have my cuffs. However, every time my cuffs got around his wrist he always slipped out of them. I wish he didn't. I wish he could of stayed so I could of told him how I...no, I feeling nothing like that for him, damnit.

I had the usual blue cup of ramen because it's tasty. I didn't eat much except for ramen and ramen alone. Sometimes if I was lucky I treated myself to miso soup but not like how Maria made it. Maria...I miss her. She was so young and alive, regardless of her past. She was beautiful...but I wish she hadn't thought of me as a father figure now. But now, she probably moved on...just like me and now look where I am. I'm in my office thinking of my Lupi- enemy, that won't leave my mind. I don't whether it's his suave ways that I've heard about or his understanding manner...Zenigata, listen to yourself, get a hold of yourself damnit! Or maybe it's just the last heist replaying in my mind.

I remember his escape from the last heist. It was something about a ruby that belonged to a wealthy land owner in Crescent City. He stole it and as usual I arrived there with my squad as well as another inspector watching my every action. I think his name was Clyde...something I don't remember. Lupin showed himself on the roof as a helicopter made itself known. I had already sent most of my men up there to get him as I waited to see what moves he made. Apparently Clyde disapproved of my battle plan and ordered the rest of my squad to fire at will at Lupin. I tried to stop them but Clyde told them to ignore whatever commands I gave them and they kept firing. Before Lupin could get on the helicopter he got shot in the arm and went down. I don't know if it was out of terror or concern but I screamed his name. A few moments later he regained himself and climbed onto the rope ladder that connected to the helicopter. They escaped as we all returned to headquarters.

However, before the helicopter door closed I saw someone that was all too familiar to me; Miss Fujiko Mine. I can't stand to see Lupin with Fujiko. Sure, sometimes she's helped me track down Lupin sometimes but I can tell she's a back stabber. It's in her eyes and voice. She talks in a devious way as if she's captured her prey. Then she runs off with him, uses him, and then leaves him. I wish she wouldn't do that.

..Lupin's...nice. He doesn't deserve her and she doesn't deserve-

CRAP! Why the hell did I just think that and of all things!? Damnit Lupin!
I received the usual "HOW THE HELL DID HE ESCAPE ZENIGATA," routine as I was used to it by now but it still hurt my pride. My mind reassured my heart that Lupin was all right and somehow, that made me feel a little better. I can't do that next time though, I have a title as an Inspector to keep. If I love the enemy then I lose it as well as my respect around Interpol.

Finally, I've finished the report...maybe now Lupin will get out of my head. As the file prints out, the words play across the screen.
