Title: "Never alone"

Chapter 1-Unforgettable

Author's note: This is an AU because, this is me creating another season, but it is still connected to the plot. Just with well...other things I cannot say yet. Man, this story has been bugging me ever since the show ended. I am fueled by the fact I want a second season and well enjoy the ride for it's gonna be full of laughs, tears, drama and well...supernatural stuff...you'll see!

Pairing: A complicated as hell!ShogoxAkane, GinozaxAkane and KougamixAkane. And of course side: YayoixShion because, they are awesome and Sisterly!YayoixShion and Akane.

Disclaimer: I do not own Psycho Pass, just this story and the two OCs that aren't in this chapter yet.

On another note: Oh God, when typing thing I almost wrote: "Paralyza" instead of "Paralyzer." Goodness, you know a show is awesome with you even think the dominator's voice is kinda cool saying "Paralyza."

AND OH GOD- I wrote this in a fury last night and I couldn't believe how many errors I made. I went to fix them-hell, I need a beta reader.


Akane's whole body ached. It ached with pain for many reasons and with the crack of thunder she knew for sure that she failed to stop Kougami and...herself. The dominator in her hand fell when she collapsed to the ground crying for there was no way she could have stopped him.

"Kougami-san..."

Her head hurt, her legs hurt, her chest hurt, but that didn't matter right now. She retrieved the fallen dominator and squeezed the grip to stop her hands from going numb. With fresh tears still rolling down her face, Akane put all her force into her arms and motioned to stand in the darkness. She covered the left side of her face with her hand in a way to calm herself and slowly took deep breaths. She has to do what she has to do now.

The blue light of the dominator glowed in her bleeding right hand when Akane spoke to it, "Hear me Sybil. Makishima Shogo is dead-..."

There was a long pause, longer than normal, before she received a reply, "Tsunemori Akane...We have no choice, but to-"

Closing her eyes, Akane firmly continued, "...-and I understand our previous agreement when it came to Kougami Shinya's life, but I still believe Kougami Shinya can be a valuable asset under me within the MWPSB. His advanced intelligence and physical prowess has served us countless of times. I understand his flaws: His one-tracked archaic mind and, at times, his reckless unorthodox methods in the field. There are things only he can do. Knowing his flaws from my current failure to capture Makishima Shogo, in the future, I can predict and prevent such event as this with my enhanced insight. Let me capture Kougami Shinya alive and I'll make sure an situation such as this never happens again."

The index finger of the hand holding the dominator tapped in anticipation for their verdict. She was expecting another long pause, but was surprised when it was immediate, "Tsunemori Akane...for now...capture Kougami Shinya...and we will discuss your failure and Kougami Shinya tomorrow...Same as before, try not to let Kougami Shinya know of this advantage...Non-Lethal Paralyzer."

The breath she didn't know she was holding escaped. "That's a promise."

She opened her eyes again to stare in the direction of Kougami Shinya and Makishima Shogo's dead body. Her distraught voice loudly resonated in the hyper-oats field as she screamed her colleague's name. Akane's lower lip trembled as she hesitantly paused to hear him answer, yet there was no response given. It was time to take action. The young detective took off running towards Kougami standing far away near the forest, her heart beating rapidly in pursuit for she knew that Kougami was going to leave.

He was going to leave her.

Kougami turned around fast like an alert animal when he heard Akane call his name in the dark. He knew he couldn't be with them anymore...especially her. They've discussed it all that if he succeeded, she would kill him and stand firm to her beliefs like he did by taking Makishima Shogo's life. A somber smile graced Kougami's face as he watched the distant figure of the woman he highly respected run to him. She was going to be-...is...is one headstrong detective. The rustling of the tall plants indicated her presence drawing closer and so, Kougami pocketed his small hand gun and fled into the forest.

Calling out his name again, the determined woman trudged up the grassy incline and took chase after the man.

Makishima's lifeless body lay forgotten...for the time being.

Akane kept on blinking furiously to force her eyes to adjust to the even darker surroundings under the thick tree branches. The only source of light was the dominator, but it did not do much justice. The corner of her lip twitched as she realized the irony in that statement. She could hear Kougami's rushed rustling of the trees a far ahead.

The two both danced within the forest, weaving left and right between the trees.

Akane's mind spun as she started feeling that that movements were repeating in a similar fashion. The tree patterns appearing before her were the same for she leaped over similar rocks and root formations that try to snag her feet. Kougami was running in a circle. Was he trying to make her weary? He probably thought that she could not keep perusing him for long in such difficult lighting conditions...but he is suffering as well. They were both in the same boat, hindered by the darkness, so maybe she can-...Akane stopped and paused to halt against the tree nearest her. Looking to the right, Akane ran in a predicted direction to try and cut Kougami off. The low, thick branches scraped against her exposed legs, face and hands, but she kept on going ignoring the burning sensations pulsing in her legs.

She felt herself getting close. Raising the dominator to the darkness, Akane made a 360 rotation trying to catch his crime coefficient on the Psycho Pass scanner. Nothing. This was the right direction. She was sure of it! This was the right direction and distance! It didn't make sense. It was as if the entire forest was without life. No birds. No wind. No Kougami.

Akane desperately screamed again for him, "Kougami-san! Kougami-san! Kougami! Answer me! Talk to me! Please!"

Her cheeks felt wet. They could be wet with blood from the head wound she received from Makishima or from her reddened tear glassed eyes, she did not know. No answer. She was left there all alone and with the sun, her friend and colleague had already disappeared.

Kougami listened to the young inspector's voice from the high tree he climbed just a few meters from her. He forcefully calmed his breathing already and closed his eyes as he heard her voice continue strongly, "I'm going to bring you in. I know you're around here! Talk to me!"

Akane collapsed to her knees with dominator in her lap and placed both of her hands over her face in an attempt to calm her mind again, but her shoulders still shook in frustration.

Kougami frowned as he listened to her restrained crying...to him, her tears were deafening and made his chest ache. Quietly climbing down the tree, Kougami took advantage of her current state and slowly stalked towards her. He would have loved to go back to the MWPSB with her. He would have loved to go anywhere with her, but he knew he can't. Not yet. Not until...

He tried to be as gentle as possible when he pounced to attack her. Her fists immediately swung wide for his face and successfully made contact his cheek. The dominator was flipped on the opposing side and she tired to use the handle as a blunt weapon, but he didn't let her. Kougami knocked the weapon from her hand just in time before it connected to his head and he swiftly captured her wrist. The heels of her shoes dug into his thighs and torso, but she couldn't do much in her injured state. Despite that she still put up a good fight, for they scuffled and wrestled in the grass for some time, both trying to gain dominance over the other.

Akane's left foot pushing against Kougami's stomach strained and slid off, allowing the man to press his body against her. Even though she was fighting him with all her strength, he still tried to handle her carefully. He would only suck in his breath when she kicked him, hiss when she punched or slapped him and grunt when she would try to push against him too hard. She gasped when Kougami wrapped his arms around upper body and slowly pressed her against the ground. When she was forcibly rolled over, she wasn't surprised when she predicted his next action. He grabbed her one forearm and place it behind her back, with the other arm following. Her eyes locked with the dominator glowing at an unreachable length away on the grass and she took a deep breath and sighed. There was no way should could use the dominator anyway without him knowing something is different about it.

Kougami held her there and said through his panting, "I-...thought you wanted...to talk to me?"

The man held her down by straddling her lower back and putting mild pressure on her restrained arms. She tried one last time, "Kou-...Kougami-san...come with me." Her plea fell on deaf ears.

"I'm sorry inspector, but there are things I have to do."

"You don't have to be alone in this! Just come back with me and we could-"

"Akane..." She was silenced when Kougami said her name in that tone that meant he was smiling at her, "...Sleep for me." Then Kougami hit the back of her head. He removed himself from his position on top of the unconscious Inspector. Akane's breathing was even as she slept in comfort in his arms.

Akane awoke with the early dawn as if from a dream, coagulated blood decorated her forehead, arms and legs. The sun peaked out from the horizon and her surroundings were dully illuminated with the growing sunlight. She slowly lifted her sore upper body from the grass to get a better look at her current surroundings. She was at the edge of the forest on the side she entered from.

But of course, Kougami was gone. He...was gone. Akane quietly spoke to herself and said, "I won't forget you..."

Turning her head to the left, Akane spotted Makishima Shogo's dead body. His face was angled in her direction a few feet away from her.

Makishima Shogo.

She hissed when a sharp pain shot through her head when she went to sit upright. Her hands gripped her scalp, fingers tangling in her unruly brunette locks. The young inspector looked over to Makishima and she moved to crawl towards his body on all fours. The man's amber eyes were looking at her...it wasn't really a pleasant sight. Akane held up her hand over his eyes and tried to close his eyelids, but to no avail since rigor mortis set in. Since the sun was up, she figured she must have been out for a while. She let out a sigh and lifted some of Makishima's snow white hair to cover his bloody face.

In the distance, Akane heard someone call her name. Looking up, she saw Yayoi Kunidzuka's long black hair sway in the wind behind her as she ran in her direction screaming for her. Akane gave the woman a small smile and waved a single hand motion to her.

"Kunidzuka-san...she's alright...thank goodness, but what about everyone else?" Akane got on her knees to stand, but stopped when a hand roughly grabbed her wrist, twisting it slightly, making her yell.

She looked down at Makishima as he grinned up at her, the blood staining his face gone, "Inspector Tsunemori Akane, better get up and check on the bleeding Inspector. His arm didn't look so good."

Kunidzuka ran faster when he heard her scream, stun baton in hand, and stopped when she saw her shaking away from Makishima's unmoving body. The dark haired woman's voice was full of worry when she tried to get the Inspector's attention, "Tsunemori-san...Tsunemori-san...Tsunemori-san...h e's gone. He won't hurt you anymore."

Yayoi Kunidzuka put down the stun baton and used both of her hands to touch the trembling Inspector.

Akane fearfully watched Makishima Shogo rise, completely unscathed, with no blood or tears on his white clothes. His mocking smile aimed towards her, "Now...where was I." The man moved towards them both with one hand behind his back, his back-up razor conveniently placed in his back pocket. Makishima loved the fear expressed on the young woman's face, so much emotion conveyed in that single expression, despite being slightly obscured by the unsuspecting Enforcer's back, that made it all the better.

Kunidzuka gently ushered Akane to her feet and let the panicked woman pull her away towards the tall hyper-oats field. The Enforcer didn't know what to do to calm the distressed Inspector, but she carefully tried to bring her to her senses verbally, "Tsunemori-san...please, calm down, we have to go and get to Inspector Ginoza-san at the entrance. There we can-" When the Inspector tripped over he feet, Yayoi was pulled down with her. Makishima Shogo stood behind Kunidzuka, razor raised to strike downward into flesh of her neck, but it didn't go through.

The Akane screamed her colleague's name in fear, "Yayoi-san!"

Makishima stared at the unfazed Enforcer and watched her slowly wrap her arms around Akane Tsunemori's petite form. He watched as his hand plunged right through the Enforcer's form like he was a hologram. The man dropped his razor in surprise and took a step away from his prey.

Akane's screamed stopped immediately when she witnessed this. She watched Makishima's semi-transparent body hold up his hands towards the sky. The rising sunlight made his form gently glow as if he was a heavenly being. He let his one arm drop to his sides and the other slap over his eyes. His whole body shook for a bit making her think that the man was crying, but she was mistaken. The honest, cheerful laugher that escaped from Makishima Shogo's mouth sent a cold shiver down her spine.

Now they both understood.

Makishima was a ghost.

The next thing she knew, she was draped over Kunidzuka's back, heading towards the facility. Akane's arms were loosely wrapped around her colleague's neck. The hands holding her legs held her in place and kept her from sliding off. Kunidzuka was silent and let the injured Inspector rest her head against her right shoulder. Grey eyes looked to Akane's face, but it was turned away from her...the Inspector needed to rest her mind as well as her body.

What Kunidzuka didn't know was that the Inspector was staring at Makishima Shogo who walked beside them at their pace, hands in his pockets and his eyes locked with her own.

Sybil's mocking laughter could still be heard behind the closed metal doors and Akane paused in her step when she caught the words echoing between laughs, "Tsunemori Akane...fight...struggle...so that it may lead us to evolve."

She placed her open palms over her eyes again,a habit she has always had in times of trouble, and relished in the warmth they gave her. She then mouth words silently to herself, "Be calm, be strong, you need to be strong for everyone."

"By everyone do you mean for the Sybil Sytem or for your colleagues? Can you really call that true strength if it is for someone else?" Makishima teasingly asked the Inspector as he stood by her side and watched her head angrily snap to look at him, "Hmm or maybe, I wonder...does the word 'everyone' translate to Kougami Shinya?"
