Hello! This is my first fanfic for Prince of Tennis, but I've written other stories for many other things. I hope you all enjoy this fanfic! It sounds lame and cliche, but it really isn't! Have fun reading and please review! Thanks!

Case 1

Cold, icy, and dark. The body was sprawled out on the muddy pavement like some poor road kill. The neck was snapped in half and the stomach cut open. Surrounding the body was a pool of dark red blood that reeked of danger and despair. A siren sounded and in a matter of minutes, policemen were at the scene. A rather short police officer with a potbelly stepped out of the car, quickly trying to analyze his surroundings. A dead body. Well, that was nothing really new. These days, people were being murdered so frequently that it wasn't even much of a surprise.

He took a step closer to the body while other policemen tried to turn a curious crowd away. He winced when he was the neck and the open stomach. He felt his insides churn a little and he instantly regretted eating such a big dinner.

"Sir, we found the victim's purse. Take a look," said George, one of the policemen. He handed him a bright red Gucci purse and he started going through it. It had the typical things a woman's purse would have…keys, wallet, a cellphone, a planner, even tampons. He noticed a white envelope and with curiosity, he opened it and started to read a handwritten letter that was inside.

Dear Izume,

Are you happy about everything? After you left, I couldn't live a normal life…everyday I would think of you and how much I missed your warm embrace. The times we shared are unforgettable and everytime I close my eyes, I keep seeing you…your beautiful eyes, your loving smile…it haunts me. The wonderful love we had…was it all a joke? A prank? It might've been to you, but not for me. I sincerely gave you my all…how could you think of betraying me? Why? Was my love so foolish?

At this moment, he stopped reading the letter. It felt like such an invasion of privacy, reading someone else's love letter. He checked the wallet and noticed an identification card. He squinted to get a better look. Akatzuwa Ayumi. She looked like a pretty, prominent woman in her early 30's. To be murdered so cruelly was such a tragedy. The officer shook his head in pity and looked at the lifeless body once more. It just didn't make sense to him why anyone would have such audacity to commit a crime like this.

Suddenly, two men stepped out of the crowd and entered the forbidden crime scene. They approached the dead body and policemen immediately tried blocking their way. With great annoyance, the officer made his way to these two men. They were much taller than him. One was about 6'2 and another 6. The taller one had green, bronze colored hair and his eyes were covered by huge sunglasses, even though it was nighttime. He had a light brown trench coat on and he carried an intimidating presence. The shorter one also had sunglasses on, but he had black hair and a black sweater and jeans. Definitely suspicious thought the officer. He rudely looked at them. "Get back or I will use force," he ordered.

"We're here to look at the body," replied the taller one in a monotone voice. "Please move."

"This is for authorities only," said the officer, his voice growing louder.

"Trust us, we are the authorities," said the shorter stranger in an exasperated voice.

The officer scowled at the. People these days were such an annoyance! He took out handcuffs from his back pocket.

"I don't want to arrest you," he started, advancing towards the two men when he was suddenly interrupted. A woman in a black sweater and blue sweatpants entered the taped up crime scene in an alarming fast pace that took everyone on duty by surprise.

"What the…"spat out the surprised officer. The lady angrily approached him and to his great horror, he realized who she was. He bowed instantly, his face flushing like a tomato.

"What the hell are you doing?" She growled. "Stopping my men for this important case! We're supposed to be in accordance with each other!"

The officer widened his eyes. "Your men?" he squeaked. He slowly turned to the two suspicious looking men and it dawned on him. The men flashed their badges at the gaping, dumbfounded policemen. They were from the highly prestigious law force in Tokyo, Seigaku Detective Squad. It was well known throughout much of Japan and was quickly rising to become a celebrity icon. The Seigaku Detective Squad or otherwise known as S.D.S was very successful in capturing notorious criminals. There was not a single case where the current squad had failed in.

The officer meekly nodded his approval of letting the two men investigate the body. He turned his head back towards a glaring, raging lady who had her arms crossed. She tapped her foot impatiently, waiting for an explanation. The officer sighed, dreading every second of this. This was his first time meeting the well known boss of the S.D.S, Ryuzaki Sumire. She trained many young detectives who was part of the squad in the past and was currently helping the government with their secret affairs. Also to his knowledge, she used to be an ace detective in Japan back when she was young. To get on her bad side would truly be a scary thing.

"I sincerely apologize," said the officer, once again bowing his head in extreme humiliation. "I had no idea they were part of the S.D.S."

Ryuzaki just eyed him carefully. She squinted, a bit confused. "Wait, you're not Officer Yukoto." She looked at him strangely. "What happened to that damn bastard?"

A little taken back by her strong language, the officer responded. "He recently quit and I, Officer Tomo, am the new head. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

"I see," muttered Ryuzaki. She rolled her eyes and muttered some more profanity before calming herself down. She looked at Officer Tomo who took a startled step back.

"I apologize officer," said Ryuzaki. "I thought you were Officer Yukoto. You could be his identical twin and I wouldn't be surprised. He always hated our squad, so I thought you were deliberately holding back my men. In any case, I realize it wasn't your fault, it was mine. Sorry." She gave a quick bow to a surprised officer Tomo. She was quite understanding. She gave him a wry smile.

"Well Officer, since we cleared that up, I suppose I might as well introduce the whole squad," she said. "We're going to get quite close with your policemen from now on…" Officer Tomo then understand a little why Officer Yukoto might have quit. He gulped and nodded. "Of course.
