Tke: Well, since I'm finishing a fic, I should start the one I'm most excited to be doing!! I've held it off for too long!!
Roxas: what fic are you finishing??
Tke: As soon as I get my vampire book back, some time next week, probably Monday, I will be finishing the Vampire fic.
Roxas: oh great.
Tke: you're just jealous you don't get a part; you're just mentioned in that story.
Roxas: sticks tongue out shut up. Tke doesn't own shit, she only has six bucks in her wallet so don't bother asking because it's going to her mom's birthday gift in a few days. So technically you can't sue her for shit unless you want to deny a mother a gift from her daughter!! Evil laughter

The shouts were coming closer, feet up the mansion steps slow and steady yet powerful. The man chuckled. His fingers twisting a knife back and forth as he licked his lips and narrowed his eyes with a smirk upon his face.
"Come here little one."
A cold silence rang throughout the area, nothing moved, nothing breathed; nothing was heard, the steps grew closer.
"Don't you want to make sure your brother is okay, little one?"
The man's other hand clenched around a mass of blond hair, carrying it with him as he opened a room.
There was a small whimper when he first entered, and everything went silent.
But that small whimper was all he needed.
Using the hand with the knife he swung open the closet door to come face to face with brown hair and blue eyes.
"Hello little one."
The boy froze, pressing himself as close to the inside of the cabinet as possible.
The man grinned sadistically and threw the item in the boy's lap.
The boy's scream echoed throughout the mansion, hands shakily covering his mouth as wide eyes poured tears down his cheeks.
His twin brother's severed head rolled on the floor, away from him.
"Now, now little one." The man chuckled. "Aren't you glad to see your brother?"
The boy cried out, trying to scoot away from the man.
The arm shot out, hand grabbing a mass of brown hair as he forced the boy to look up.
"Shall I tell you a story?"
The boy sobbed, trying to free his hair from the man's grip.
"A story of how a blond mafia boss pissed me off and his little brother did nothing to make it better so I was forced to take action."
The boy's nails dug into the man's hand, however the man didn't flinch as blood droplets appeared through the small crescent wounds.
"The brother was the first to go…"
The boy sobbed, yanking harshly on the man's hand, ignoring the pain he was inflicting on himself.
"I stabbed him in the heart you know, you could hear him wither out in pain, it was beautiful." As the man spoke the knife was grasped more firmly.
Crystal blue eyes watched in horror as the knife met his skin and slid downwards to create dark red blood.
"Tsk, tsk little one, dark red blood is not-healthy blood, are you taking care of your body?" He watched the boy begin to cry out in pain, enjoying the shrill screams.
"Please!!" The boy wailed.
"We cut off your brother's head after wrapping it in a nice towel, I figured I would keep it and mount it as a victory symbol, but then we were heard."
The man's hand left his hair and grabbed his arm, jerking him out of the closet. The boy winced, feeling the knife leave his skin to appear a moment later a bit away from the first cut.
"We caught your mother, but you never cared about her, did you?" He grinned as the blood began to drip again. "We stabbed her, it was beautiful, she let out such high screams for such a rich looking lady."
The boy tried to block him out, wether or not he liked her was the case. She was still his mother, no matter what she was still a part of his family.
"Your father tried to stop us, he finally came home from his business trip, not that he ever stays for more than a day or so." The man grinned, "We've been watching."
The boy's eyes squeezed shut, 'Oh god…'
"After your father we heard you, little one."
The boy's eyes widened, he looked up at the man in horror.
"To think, the brother hid such a beauty…"
Tears poured down his cheeks faster, listening to the man's cruel laugh.
"Not that your brother wasn't a looker either, how'd you two get your looks from such ugly parents?"
Another laugh and the man harshly stabbed the boy's arm. He released the arm, watching the boy wail and cuddle it to his chest in pain.
"Goodbye, little one."
The wide blue eyes watched in horror as the knife was brought down upon his chest.
The man grinned, pulling the knife out before doing it over and over and over.
By now the boy was coughing blood, falling to floor and spitting out blood after being released.
"This is the end." The man chuckled, holding the boy's head back as he sat on the boy's body and raised the knife.
The silver metal directly met the boy's adam's apple.
The boy had just been thrashing, pushing his damaged and injured body to its limits.
Now it just lay there, cold, unmoving, and dead.
The man let out a cheerful bark of laughter, standing up and exiting the room. He and his partners ran out, jumping into a car and taking off before any other soul had come by.

Riku Umino sighed, carrying his silver briefcase up the steps of the mansion boredly. This was the third murder this month, was he ever going to get a break?
Riku cared, did he ever, he cared for these victim's families. But being on this job so long, knowing the only thing you can do was get back at the person who did this, that's what pushed you forward. The first rule of being out in the field was not to show emotion, and that was something Riku grew accustomed to.
"Morning Umino." Came the gruff voice of his usual partner, Axel Nakango.
Riku quickly checked his watch to see that his detective partner was, indeed, right. The bright numbers of 1:46 AM flashed at him, telling him he would loose yet another night of sleep.
"Boys, here's the rundown of the scene." The Captain of the police force, Squall 'Leon' Leonhart walked over, looking at his pad of paper. "Four victims total, Mr. And Mrs. Kaze, the famous owners of the half the banks in this city." He turned the paper, "Roxas Kaze, a well-respected and popular high school skateboarder that was known for going to skateboarding championships." He flipped a paper yet again, "And Sora Kaze, a smart, friendly, and cheerful high schooler that was attempting to become an opera singer." He flipped to the first page in his book, looking at it quickly. "The parents were attacked during midnight coffee but heard something and made it to the ballroom, the wife slit across the throat and stabbed and the husband in the back." Leon looked down towards the bottom of the paper, "Roxas Kaze, head severed from his body on the first floor, we found the head up on the second floor next to the dead body of his brother, Sora Kaze who was repeatedly stabbed." He flipped the notebook shut, watching Riku and Axel glance at each other. "The call was reported to be at 1:15 AM, the butler who comes early to start the Kaze's morning comes in and finds the place destroyed. He goes to check on the adults, who by this time should be watching TV in the living room, and instead he finds the body of Roxas Kaze, headless."
Riku's lips pursed, these types of death were nothing new to him, yet something felt different about this case.
"Leon, keep the butler here." Axel ordered, walking with Riku passed the cops to enter the house. "I want to question him."
"Right." Leon nodded, walking away to locate the butler.
Riku looked at the map the officer had handed him before taking his briefcase and making his way passed the dinning room and tearoom to the living room.
"There's the first body." He answered, putting his case down and opening it.
Axel looked at the notes he'd taken from Leon's speech, "Roxas Kaze, older of the two by a couple minutes." They waited as the photographer took pictures and as he moved onto the next body Riku began to work.
Riku nodded, listening to Axel's information as he began pulling out bottles and dusters and other items. He first swabbed the red substance on the body then watched Axel get gloves on and grab it. Axel grabbed the bottle of luminal, spraying it to have the red mass now show a slightly purple glow.
"It's blood, for sure, but wether it's the victim's or the suspects we need to find out." Axel answered, looking at the body. It was strange there wasn't a pool of blood near the body, for having it's head severed. But that's what they were here for right? To solve a crime that people might not want to be solved.
Riku frowned, using tweezers to pluck a small piece of purple string from the sleeve of the body's shirt. "Looks like yarn or wool, probably from a sweater."
Axel, who had been putting the swab in a small container, pulled out a bag and allowed Riku to drop the evidence in.
"Let's head to the parents."
Axel nodded, staying behind and dusting the TV and remote for prints.
Riku headed towards the ballroom, seeing the man first. The man was on his stomach, multiple wounds to the back and in a pool of blood. The wife was in the middle of the room, bleeding from a head wound, a slit neck, and multiple stab wounds.
"Leon didn't mention the blood on the head." Axel answered, coming in and swabbing the blood and looking for other items.
"It might've happened while she was trying to get away, he only told us what they did to her."
Axel began to work on the father's body as Riku took samples from the mother.
"Where was the last body?" Riku asked, this had been his fourth over-time and he was going to have trouble keeping his eyes shut soon.
"Upstairs, last room on the left, brother's head is up there too."
Riku rolled his eyes, grabbing his stuff and making his way up the steps. The door was completely thrusted open, like someone didn't even bother to close it.
Of course who would close it when you're running from murder?
Riku dusted off the handle and took fingerprints as the photographer came running out of the room. Riku watched him run towards the adjacent bathroom and begin to throw up into the toilet. 'Must be a newbie.' The silver haired teen thought, shrugging and stepping into the room.
The first thing he noticed was the head, covered in blood, however judging by where the photographer's earlier position, he hadn't taken a picture of the head so Riku knew he couldn't examine it until that happened.
"Got the camera." Axel answered, raising it as proof, "What am I needed for?"
"Take pictures of the head." Riku answered, finally setting his gaze on the whole body.
The brunette's eyes and mouth were open wide, several stab marks bleeding as the knife was lodged in the boy's throat. Riku couldn't help but reach out and brush some of the brunette bangs from the wide blue eyes. His lips parted, eyes softening.
"Riku?" Axel looked up from taking pictures.
Riku snapped his head up, looking at the redhead. "Yeah?"
"What are you doing?"
Riku looked down, easily lying, "Looking for blood splatter."
Axel gave him a look but went back to his job.
Riku winced, fingerprinting the handle of the knife before sliding it out of the boy's throat. "I don't know if this is the weapon for everyone or just him."
Axel nodded, "Leon told me, as I took the newbie downstairs, that there was more than one killer, or people that aided the killer."
Riku bagged it, nodded and continuing his work. He couldn't help it, however, as his eyes strained towards the boy's face every so often.

"First things first, we talk to people, friends, family, and enemies." Axel motioned, looking around the room.
The officers looked around, nodding and leaving to look on the computers for links to the family.
Axel rubbed his temples, sighing in discomfort. He looked over at his best friend; ready to ask how he felt when he noticed something wasn't right.
Riku was daydreaming.
As long as Axel had known him, Riku never day dreamed, not even when Riku's girl friend, Garnet, broke up with him a month ago.
"Ri, you feeling okay?"
Riku's head snapped up from his cup of coffee, "Huh? Oh yeah, fine."
"Ready to catch some criminals?"
"Mhmm." Riku muttered, drowning the rest of his coffee before looking at the inside of the mug.
Axel's eyebrow rose.
Riku was ignoring him.
The redhead slid across the picture of the brunette they found, it was taken from his room so that they could use it for news reports as they did with all pictures of the family.
Riku's eyes strained on the brunette's face.
He was thinking of this boy, non-stop.
Axel's lips tugged into a smile, it took a dead person to capture Riku's perception huh?
Or maybe it was just because the brunette was cute.
Who knows?
"Sir!" An officer came through the door and shocking Riku and Axel, leaving a manila folder, "We found someone, Kairi Hitakate, she appears to be a close family friend."

Tke: I'm not going too much into body detail until we get to autopsy, because if Riku and Axel reveal everything, what fun is it for the coroner?
Roxas: don't tell me, you're going to be the coroner?
Tke: Ooh, I should be, nice idea Roxy, however I already have someone.
Roxas: oh?
Tke: as long as he doesn't get carried away, Xaldin.
Roxas: Oo
Tke: he likes to cut things, doesn't he? It works!
