NOTE: "S.F" STANDS FOR SHADOW FUKUSHIMA AND YES I DID GIVE HIM A LAST NAME PLZ DON'T ASK.


Prologue

Shadow's P.O.V

I feel cold...

That's the only feeling I have in my body, just the cold, like I was dead...

It's strange... I don't feel dead... Yet at the same time, I do have that feeling...

I slowly came to; I smelled an awful stench in the air, I didn't want to know what it was... But I think I was better off not knowing. My vision became clear, and I found myself within the sewer. I felt pain in my head, as if a runaway car hit me; the only thing I could do was rub my head to ease the pain.

"Where... Where am I?"

How did I get here? How did I get in the sewer? I can't remember... Nothing came to mind. The only thing I remembered I was chasing that psychopath Minatsuki; she knocked me out and than... Damn it, why can't I remember? I got myself on my feet, and I took a look around the sewer trying to recall how I got here.

"Sherlock... I've got to call Sherlock."

I looked through my jeans pocket but my phone wasn't there.

"Huh? Did it fall out? No matter, I'll have to find him the old fasio-"

Out of nowhere, I started to cough out something. I backed up towards the wall to hold my balance. What was this taste? It tasted awful; it almost tastes like-

"Blo... Blood?"

I was just horrified, to taste the blood in my mouth.

I hated it. It was an awful taste.

I continued to cough, but this time I didn't cough up just blood, I coughed up flesh.

"Wha-What is this!? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?" WHY IS THIS IN MY-?!

I began to panic; I started to back up until I felt something squish under my foot. Hesitantly, I turned around to look behind me; what I saw was like something from my nightmares. There was a dead body of a woman in her 20s, a navy woman by her uniform. Her eyes were ripped out of her head still attached to her sockets.

Her heart, her stomach, and her lungs, they were all ripped out from her body, someone had been eating them. Her arms and her legs were torn from her body as well; the skin from her arms and legs were torn revealing the muscles as well as her bones.

That wasn't the only body though; there was another, a man it looked like he was in his 40s. He was different; it was just sickening to look at the remains. His head was torn; half of his face was torn revealing his skull and what was left of the muscle tissue.

The face that remained it looked as though he was screaming like he was crying out for help. His brain was next to his head; half of it was bitten off.

The only thing I did was let out a scream at the sight of these bodies in front of me. To be honest, I was scared, how could this have happened?

The flesh in my mouth... could it be that I-

"WHAT THE FUCK!? WHAT THE FUCK?! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?! HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN?! WHAT DO I DO!? WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO!? FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!"

I heard sirens from above ground; they sounded like cars. They stopped above me. I heard them, they're coming, and they're coming here.

"I- I got out of here! I've gotta find Sherlock! Gotta find Gibbs! I gotta find someone I can talk to!"

I turned and I just started to run away from whatever I just witnessed, eventually I found my way out of the sewer.

How did this happen? Why did this happen? Out of all people why did this happen to me?

Out of all people why... Why ME?


-5 Days Earlier, London 221B Baker Street-

Narrator P.O.V

It has already been a month in a half and yet not a single case has turned up for them. Ever since there case with Medusa, they haven't had one case since than.

Shadow read a book while he listened to his father figure Sherlock play his violin. Sakura had sat on the couch drawing a picture while watching anything that was on the telly and John was on his computer just browsing.

"God..." Shadow said while closing his book and rubbing his head, "I never thought I would actually find this... so... so..." "Boring?" Sherlock finished.

S.F: "Yeah that's the word."

J.W: "Hey now you know how Sherlock feels everyday."

S.F: "Honestly, I'm not sure how you deal with this Sherlock. Honest to God, I'm not sure."

S.K: "What do you mean?"

S.F: "I mean we haven't had a single case for almost a whole month now."

S.H: "It's painful isn't it?"

S.F: "Pretty much."

S.K: "You shouldn't worry too much Shadow, I'm sure we'll get another case."

S.F: "Yeah... Right..."

As if they had spoken of the devil they heard someone open the door and come up the stairs. They turned to see Alice had entered the flat. John gotten up from his seat and asked her, "How did you get in here?" "Your door was open." Alice said while pointing down the stairs, "No it wasn't." Sherlock said while setting his violin down, "What are you doing here? I haven't seen you since the case with these two."

Alice looked towards Shadow and Sakura.

A.L: "Really, has it been that long?"

S.F: "It has actually."

S.H: "So what are you doing here?"

A.L: "Do you remember our good friend Special Agent Gibbs?"

Sherlock let out a scoff and turned his back to Alice.

A.L: "I'm going to take that as a 'yes' than."

S.H: "What about Gibbs?"

A.L: "It appears they have a little problem in America, and they asked for your help."

J.W: "Really?"

S.F & S.K: "Really?"

A.L: "Really."

S.H: "And why would they want MY help?"

A.L: "Cause they know it's up your alley."

S.H: "Really? Enlighten me."

Alice just handed him a file over to Sherlock, and the detective just took it from her hand. He started to look through the file while she began to explain.

A.L: "I suppose you are aware of the murders over in America."

J.W: "Yeah it was all over the internet."

S.F: "What murders? What are you talking about?"

S.H: "There have been a string of murders that have been going on in America lately all involving members of the Navy."

S.K: "Hoe? What's so strange about it?"

A.L: "The strange thing is they're all female."

S.F: "And that's strange how-"

He was cut off when Sherlock literally shoved the file in his face. The file fell right in his hands; he turned to Sherlock who just gave him an innocent smile.

S.F: "Hey!"

S.H: "What?"

Shadow just shook his head and proceeded to look within the file. As he looked through he noticed that all this victims had the same blood types, which was AB+.

S.F: "They all have the same blood type?"

S.H: "Look closer."

Shadow did what he was told. When he looked again all these women did not just have the same blood type, they had the same age the same height, the same weight, the same name, even the same birthday.

S.F: "How did I not notice that?"

S.H: "Because you didn't look hard enough."

Sherlock just pat him on the head while saying sarcastically, "You still have much to learn." Shadow just rolled his eyes and turned away from Sherlock.

A.L: "N.C.I.S has been at this case for weeks now, but they can't do it your help."

S.H: "Was he asking or telling?"

A.L: "Well actually he was doing both."

S.K: "Does Gibbs does that a lot?"

A.L: "Well most of the time. And it's obvious that Gibbs is in fact in charge of this case."

Sherlock let out a groan this time; everyone in the room just gave an awkward look to each other than to him. "Okay Sherlock." Alice said, "I know the two of you aren't exactly but-" "Oh whatever gave you that idea?" Sherlock asked with sarcasm in his voice.

A.L: "But! He is going to give you full access to the autopsy, forensic and every crime scene they go to, so you'll have their cooperation and-"

S.H: "Oh let me guess, I have to cooperate with them.'

A.L: "That pretty much sums it up."

Sherlock let out another groan and he propped himself on the sofa.

S.K: "You don't like Gibbs?"

S.H: "Yes and no."

S.K: "What does that mean?"

S.H: "Ask me again when you're older."

Sakura just tilted her head in confusion and Alice couldn't help but chuckle.

A.L: "I'll be tagging along with you, as well as two members from my team, Envy and Aelita."

J.W: "Wait a second, why do you guys have to tag along?"

A.L: "I have reasons of going with you, besides I haven't been to their Headquarters in ages."

S.K: "You've been there before Alice-san?"

A.L: "A life time ago actually. Theirs a flight that will leave tomorrow night, so I suggest you all get packing."

S.F: "But how are we supposed to travel? I'm a freak remember?"

A.L: "That's already taken care of."

Alice walked up to Shadow and put a watch around his wrist. Suddenly he looked at his hand and he saw that he had human skin.

S.F: "How-how is this-?"

A.L: "It's a little something that Jeremy made. The only downside is it's only a prototype so it's best if you keep your hood on at all times."

S.F: "So I'm only testing it?"

A.L: "Pretty much. I'll see you guys tomorrow night."

With that Alice left the flat. Sherlock took a look at the file again. "Will this is just great." Sherlock said curling up on the couch. "Oh, come on Sherlock, it can't be that bad working with N.C.I.S." John assured.

S.H: "You know I don't do well with governments."

S.K: "Why? They don't like you?"

S.H: "No, I don't like them."

S.F: "That makes two of us."

J.W: "Really you too?"

S.F: "I've been through something worse than hell because of them, what do you think?"

J.W: "But Shadow, Gibbs helped us with the last case so he can be trusted."

S.F: "It doesn't matter."

S.K: "John's right Shadow. Gibbs can be trusted."

S.F: "Sakura you know tha-"

S.K: "Government or not, if John trusts him than I can trust him too. So why can't you?"

Shadow was about to say something to her, but nothing came out of his mouth; he gave up the argument. "Man, your never the type to hold a grudge huh?" Shadow said, "You really are like your mom." Sakura just let out a smile after that comment. Than they both turned to Sherlock. "Sherlock, won't you please help Gibbs?" Sakura pleaded. Sherlock sat up to her and just looked at her. After a moment of silence Sherlock than said, "I'll go, but only because I'm interested in the case."

Sakura let out a smile and Shadow just gave a "WTF" look. "Really, it was that easy?" Shadow mumbled to himself. Sherlock than jumped off the catch switched his robe to his jacket and scarf and threw Shadow and Sakura's jacket to them while saying: "Let's go!"

S.F: "What?! Where exactly?"

Sherlock turned to him and said: "What? You can't get into America without a passport can you?"
