I don't own Kingdom Hearts...or any final fantasy characters what not...
23 year old Sora Harada stared long and hard at the pictures on the white board. The mug of coffee that he had barely drunk from had gone cold hours ago. Little bugs frantically buzzed around the lamp on the desk. The office's only source of light. His forefinger and thumb worked nimbly flipping a biro pen back and forth.
A digital clock on the desk reads 3:24 a.m.
The white board was adorned with scribbles of various name, dates and times. In the centre were photo's of three men.
The first photo showed a young man with messy blond spiky hair and cold blue eyes.
Name: Cloud Strife
Age: 22
Occupation: Assistant Manager of M.C enterprises
The next photo down, was of a man with Brown hair which reached as far as his lower neck, on his face was a long scar running from his forehead to his left cheek.
Name:Squall Leon hart
Age: 25
Occupation: Security guard at Traverse town hotel
Then there was the last one.
A traumatising photo for any commoner who isn't used to the idea of "brutal murder".
However for a detective that had been involved (and solved) many famous cases, this was nothing out of the ordinary.
His face was frozen in time, fixated at a look of...
Sheer horror and shock.
The deathly whites of his eyes bought out the fact they were nearly popping out of his sockets.
His mouth wide open, it was as if a deathly scream was raging inside the cage that was his body, struggling for its release but just as he was about to scream his breath came short killing the raging fury within him.
All his four limbs were dislocated from his body pools of blood lay where his arms and legs were once join. There was a deep bloody gash leading from his chest to his lower abdomen, the open cut exposed his eternal organs.
Name: Seifer Almasy
Age: 21
Occupation: Student of business studies at Radiant Gardens University
Status: son of Satoshi Almasy owner of Satoshi and co.
About two weeks ago a murder had taken place at the Traverse town hotel in the green room at about 11:53 p.m. Cloud and his long time friend Seifer, who had just completed his first year at university had travelled together to Traverse town for celebrations. According to close friends, they had both gone to a friend's party before the murder.
At around 11:58 p.m Leon the security guard, heard noises coming from the green room. Upon ramming open the door he found cloud standing over the dead Seifer, hands dripping with his blood. With investigation by the police force of Cloud's hotel room, the red room next door, the murder weapon was found. A sharp 12 inch blade, a DNA sample taken from the blood on the blade matched a sample of Seifer's blood and the fingerprints matched Cloud's. Cloud, admitting to the murder of his friend was thereby charged.
Still deep in contemplation he opened the second story window, leaning out to inhale the fresh, cold night air.
He closed his eyes taking a moment to clear his head.
After a few minutes he sat back down on his chair. Lighting a cigarette, he decided to go through the case files again.
Bring bring…bring bring
The ring of his office telephone snapped him out of his concentrative phase.
He picked up the phone.
"Hello, this is detective Sora Harada speaking"
"SORA!!! I KNEW IT!!", a female voice boomed from the other end of the line.
"Yuffie...don't tell me... You guys broke up again?"
Yuffie Kisaragi was Sora's energetic assistant, she and Leon met a few months ago through Aerith who was good friends with both. It was "true love as first sight" you could say, except for the fact that they've been on and off ever since.
"Hmph! me and Leon are FINE thankyou very much", she stated in defence.
Sora rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, I called to see if you were still here...which you are, now would you PLEASE go home and get some well needed rest THAT YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT ON FOR THREE DAYS STRAIGHT!"
"I..."
"And don't give me that crap about I-too-busy-I-have-to-figure-out-this-case!", Yuffie cut Sora off before he could string together another word.
"But there's something not right about this one...I can just feel it", Sora replied.
"How much clearer can it be?!"
"They found his finger prints on the murder weapon, He was standing right next to the victim when Leon found him in the room."
"And to add they even found out that Seifer and Cloud had been in an argument for weeks over that debt Seifer had owed Cloud's company PLUS Satoshi and co. and M.C have been at each others throats since forever!"
"What more evidence do you need?!", Yuffie protested.
Sora gave a heavy hearted sigh.
"Look, Sora... Whatever you need to investigate...could you please do it tomorrow? You'll be dead in three days at this stage...look just please..."
He knew there was no arguing with Yuffie and she was right. His sleepless days have left him feeling like a zombie.
" alright Yuffie...you win, I'll lock up the office and go home"
"Good! Now I'm going to call your house in 20 minutes and if you're not there... I'll hunt you down and drag you back home dead or alive!", She said triumphantly.
"Alright..I'll be there...goobye Yuff".
Sora hung up, picked up his jacket and keys and headed towards the door.
Locking up he exited the building, his mind still filled with thoughts of the murder as he walked towards his Mazda RX-8 in the car park.
The parking lot
"Aww come on baby don't play so hard to get we all know you want this", a spiky red haired guy purred into the equally red headed girl.
He had her cornered between the old building and a Toyota supra.
Panic filled her every inch as he nuzzled her neck taking in the sweet scent of her hair.
She tried to push him off, her attempts were futile.
One hand was around her waist moving down slowly towards her skirt. His other hand pressed against the wall that was behind her.
"Scream all you want, it's no use there's no one there...", he said playfully.
"Axel...please", her voice dripping with the presence of near emotional breakdown.
"Help! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!" She called out to the silent of the night, desperately hoping somebody would come along.
She was about to call out again when he silenced her with his lips, forcing his tongue down her throat.
Back to Sora
Approaching his car, he pressed the button on his key unlocking all four doors. As he was about to enter, he heard a faint noise from the other side of the car park.
"Probably just two cats scratching each other's eyes out for a half eaten sardine.."
Even thought he knew it was probably nothing, something inside him just kept bugging for him to check it out.
Running over to the other side he followed the muffling noises until finally he saw...
Well that's the end of the chapter...
I was inspired to write some detective story after my mum made me watch this weird Chinese detective, law, court drama thing. It got pretty exciting.
This story isn't really going to be based on it though.
Im hoping for at least 5 chapters or something...
So yeah... R&R well you probably already read it so yeah... reviews would be appreciated.
