I Got You
Chapter 1: Partners
It's been 2 years since Kuga Natsuki graduated from Fuuka police academy. Received top honors in her marksmanship which covered her poor grades in co-op exercises. Every man in her police department has tried courting her, all have failed. Eventually they all gave up thinking that if any man would tolerate her countless abuse is bound to get shot by Natsuki herself. They all got used to treating her like 'one of the guys' to avoid facing down the barrel of her gun. Of course, thoughts of love never entered Natsuki's mind. Only work, guns, motorcycles and mayonnaise, nothing else.
At the moment, only work occupies her mind as she runs to chase down her target.
"Hey! I said stop, damn it!"
The target had entered a crowded mall district forcing Natsuki to holster her gun. The runaway had snaked through the crowd towards an escalator, Natsuki followed in pursuit. Seeing one of her co-workers on the same escalator she screamed for help.
"Oi! Shizuru, stop him!"
The woman turned around at the sound of the familiar voice to spot where it came from. Looking at the fatigued Natsuki still running and pointing at the criminal. Before she could react, the offender sped past her. Turning on her heels, Shizuru also joined in the chase. Clearing the escalator, Natsuki scanned where they had run to.
Chasing down offenders wasn't Shizuru's strong point, she preferred to be under cover. 'Why am I running so hard? Oh yes, that's right' Remembering the request from Natsuki was what made her start chasing the guy down. Seeing the gap between herself and the offender increase, she thought about slowing down, fatigue getting the best of her. Taking out a small BB gun from her purse, she aimed and fired. Suddenly, she saw the offender on the floor wondering what happened. What she failed to see was when Natsuki had close lined the guy to the floor. 'Impressive'. Spotting Shizuru walking closer, she gave her a small smile.
"Thanks for the help"
----------
Arriving at the Police Department, Natsuki was automatically greeted by the others on the force.
"Hey, there's the ice cold Kuga."
"Ice cold? The hell am I? A beverage?"
After settling down at her desk, she spotted a mountain of paper work and sank in her chair. Giving the evil eye at the pile 'If only I can shoot you...' Her staring contest with the paper work was disturbed by another co-worker walking in.
"So, how'd you catch this one?"
"I didn't do it alone."
Surprised at the response, Nao tried her luck at interrogating Natsuki. It was, after all, her speciality.
"Did I hear right? You actually had help this time?"
"..."
"Hm, so who was it who help THE Kuga Natsuki?"
"Shizuru..."
Nao never expected that Natsuki would give up so easily. The chief of the department suddenly burst through the door
"Kuga!"
"Sir!"
Natsuki stood at attention while Nao remained seated looking bored.
"Am I right that you accepted help from Fujino?"
"Yes sir..." What the hell? Does this guy have some sort of super hearing?
Seeing the chief momentarily left the office motion someone to come in. He came back in with a smile on his face. Moments later, Shizuru walked in and flashed a brief smile at Natsuki. Nao smirked sensing what was about to happen. Natsuki still clueless.
"Kuga. She's your new partner."
"Yes sir- wait..huh?!"
