a/n: The state of my other unfinished stories is debatable... anyway, enjoy this little number. Yes, yes I know, a google-translated Latin title, how original. C: Also, of course they didn't have our good cellphones in the 80's, but shit, it's fanfiction.
Now all you lovely guys and gals, don't forget to review!
~Chapter 1: Beginning~
A man in a black hoodie and jeans fluttered down the street, constantly looking around him.
It was early September, making the nights colder and the days shorter.
The man was currently making his way down a deserted back road at 11 at night, his breath coming out in short puffs, leaving a smoke-like train every time he exhaled. He stopped and glanced around again, before twitching and entering the alleyway that appeared towards the end of the street.
"Is that him?" Someone questioned, underlying excitement coloring his voice.
In a small, junky, black car parked down the road from the alley sat two more men. The one who had just spoken had shaggy black hair and twinkling blue eyes.
The other man also had black hair, though shorter, and brown glasses-covered eyes that were a bit more stern that his companion.
"Yes, that's him, Tanaka Kazuhito, he's even wearing the same black hoodie with the dragon design on the back." He ruffled through the papers in his hand before tossing them in the glove compartment. "Are you ready, 'Daisuke'?"
The two of them had been sitting in the junker since late afternoon.
'Daisuke' nodded. "Of course!" He rolled his shoulders and opened the car door. The man gave a small tilt of his head to his partner before throwing his hood up and crossing the street to enter the alleyway causally.
The man, Kazuhito, was standing looking around suspiciously when he spotted 'Daisuke'. "Finally you're here! What took so long?" He whispered angrily.
The other man held up his hands in an 'I surrender' gesture. "Sorry about that, I had to ditch my coworkers and they wouldn't take no for an answer."
Kazuhito stared at him a moment longer before relaxing a bit. "Fine, but next time you better be on time or the whole thing is off." He stepped a bit closer to the blue eyed man. "So, down to business. I brought you up to the boss, 'an he's real interested in you 'an that job of yours."
"Yeah, I can get anything, anyone out of the country, easy as shit, when can I start?"
"Slow down there man, first you have ta, pass a number of tests." The man gave a small grin. He brought up one of his hands, which held a small gun in it. "First off, I'm gonna needta collect your personals, you know, for safe keeping 'an all that."
Suddenly, the alleyway lit up with light from a car's headlight. "Hey, what's going on here!"
'Shit!' 'Daisuke' mentally cursed, watching Kazuhito's face twist in rage.
"You brought the cops? I thought I made things pretty fucking clear!" The criminal pulled the trigger of his gun, narrowly missing his target as the man threw himself to the floor and rolled behind a dumpster.
Kazuhito took off running down the alley, heading for the opposite opening.
"Higurashi!" The blue eyed man, really named Satoshi Higurashi, jumped up and ran in pursuit of his target. His partner- leaving his hiding place, where he had been waiting as back up in case something like this were to happen, fell into step with him.
"Who the hell is that back there Yagami? If he get's away this whole case is over!"
His partner shook his head. "I don't know, I thought I had made it pretty clear to have all the officers on duty avoid this spot," They turned the corner and pulled out their guns. "But at least this way, you don't have to pose as a customs officer and go undercover into a potentially fatal situation and worry your wife to death!"
Satoshi spared him a glare before splitting up. There was no way they could allow him to escape now.
Kazuhito, in his attempt to shake the two following him, had ran down random streets, but unfortunately his luck had run out when he encountered one of these had a brick wall, stopping his fleeing.
Soichiro Yagami slowed as he faced the wanted man. "Tanaka Kazuhito, you are under arrest on suspicion of human, animal, and drug trafficking. Drop your weapon!"
"You're fucking crazy, you ain't got nothin' on me!" He raised his gun but the other man was faster and fired, making the gun fly out of Kazuhito's grip. Then, the criminal was tackled from above, as Satoshi jumped off the wall and knocked him out with the butt of his gun. He quickly placed handcuffs on him.
"Everyone, put your hands up where I can see them!" The men both put their hands up.
"Wait, it's ok, we're detectives!" Soichiro reached into his pocket slowly and pulled out his badge, showing it to the young police officer that had followed them.
The young man lowered his weapon as he recognized the two. "Oh, Yagami-san, Higurashi-san, I did not know it was you out here!"
Satoshi sighed and hoisted the unconscious, handcuffed man up. "Yeah, actually, you aren't supposed to be here. You almost messed up our only way to solve the case we've been working on for weeks."
The officer hurriedly bowed in apology. "I am so sorry! I was just about to start my shift and I saw a suspicious person enter the alley. Please forgive me!"
Soichiro put his hand on the officer's shoulder with a small smile. "Don't worry, this might have actually turned out better thanks to you."
The blue eyed detective handed the man off to his partner and reached into his phone to pull out his cell phone. A red light was flashing on it, and when he flipped it up his eyes nearly popped out of his skull.
"Fuck! Kunloon's already started having contractions, the baby could be here any moment now!" He started pacing. "She'll kill me if I miss the birth of our first child!"
Soichiro sighed at his friend's antics before looking at the young officer. "Would you mind taking this guy back to the station for us?"
He nodded enthusiastically. "Of course Yagami-san, anything for you!"
"Thank you, we will be there shortly to question him. Higurashi, let's go, I rather like having my partner alive!" The three parted ways then, with the two detectives driving as fast as they could in their crappy car to reach the hospital in time.
Once inside and on the correct floor, Satoshi ran down the hall to his wife's room.
His partner sat down on a bench next to a young black haired woman. She turned to smile at him. "Finally you're here, I didn't think you'd make it. Everything turn out ok?"
He put his arm around his wife. "Of course! I'll have to leave and go back in a bit though."
She pouted. "Sometimes I think you love your job more than your wife, Soichiro. If Satoshi-kun wasn't so devoted to Kunloon-chan I would think that something was going on." She playfully said, leaning into him.
He rolled his eyes as Satoshi appeared again.
"She's in labor now. Oh man. I'm going to be a dad, it's a strange feeling," He pointed at his face in uncertainty. "Do I look like a dad to you? Am I going to be a good dad?"
Sachiko Yagami laughed. "Oh, you'll be fine! They say all new dads feel that way."
The blue eyed man grinned. "I doubt Soichiro will. He'll probably say something like: 'Oh, a son to continue on the family name, I am most please with this'." He mocked in a deep voice.
His friend gave him an annoyed look.
After about an hour of nervous chatter between the three in the hallway- mostly from the soon to be father, a nurse appeared from the double doors. "Higurashi-san, congratulations, your daughter has been born. If you'd follow me, please."
The nurse led them to another hallway that had glass windows on one wall, over looking a nursery of new born babies born recently. She pointed through the window at one of the plastic cribs with a yellow blanket. On the head of the crib was a nameplate that read Higurashi.
Satoshi took in the appearance of his new daughter.
Round, rosey cheeks and tuffs of black hair peeked out from the blanket that kept the newborn warm. He noticed that she was a bit smaller than the few other babies around her.
The nurse must have picked up on his look because she quickly spoke. "Your daughter is perfectly healthy, albeit slightly more petite than normal. In fact, she is one of the healthiest newborns I have ever seen!" She smiled. "You may go see your wife now, but please remember that visiting hours will be over soon." The woman then excused herself.
Soichiro tossed his arm around his friends shoulder goodnaturedly. "Congratulations Satoshi! A girl huh? Poor thing will never have a boyfriend with you as her father."
The blue eyed man nodded his head vigorously in agreement. "Those unworthy boys will never have my beloved daughter!"
Sachiko leaned closer to the glass. "She's so adorable! I'm very happy for you both." The young woman gave him a bright smile. "We will babysit for you any time!"
"Thank you both, Kunloon and I are so fortunate to have such great friends! Sachiko-chan, you should head home and get some rest, I know you've been here all day; Soichiro, I'll meet you back at the station."
They all parted ways, and Satoshi went to go see his wife.
When he entered the room, she was laying in the bed with her eyes closed, no doubt spent.
He was internally grateful that his father had helped them pay for a single room.
Kunloon opened her eyes when her husband finally appeared, giving him a tired smile. "Did you see our daughter?"
Satoshi nodded with, a happy look taking over his face. "Yes, she's beautiful." He kissed her on the forehead. "Thank you for giving her to me!"
"Well, you did help a little bit." She joked.
Pulling up the chair to the side of the bed, the man grabbed her hand, linking their fingers. "Have you thought of a name?"
Kunloon nodded, her curly hair bobbing a little at the motion. "Higurashi Kagome."
"Kagome?" He tested the name out. "It's... not traditional, that's for sure. What made you choose it?"
"It just came to me, but I think it is perfect. Ka-go-me!" She said, giving him a look that said 'I dare you to disagree'.
"Well, Higurashi Kagome it is then."
