Hal Kurabyashi sighed as he lit a cigaret ,and pulled out a case file that he had hidden away in his desk long ago. As he pulled out the file, a photo fell out from it and landed on the floor. Hal went to pick it up, when a breeze from the open window blew the photo across the floor. Grumbling he stood and went to go pick it up when the door to his office opened up and his partner Kai Eto walked in. Spotting the photo he picked it up. "what's this?", he asked Hal as he examinend the photo and blinked. "hey this is you!" , he exclaimed. "but who's the girl beside you?", Kai asked curiously.

Hal sighed and snatched the photo. "none of your business" , Hal said bluntly, looking over the photo. His normally cold eyes softened for a moment ,then headed back to his desk. "what are you doing here anyway? Your suppose to be home resting", Hal said taking a seat in his chair. Kai frowned some, but went over to the chair on the other side of Hal's desk and sat down. "I'm like you, I can't sit still for long when we have a job to do ...", he said with a sigh. "besides, I'm feeling a lot better than I did earlier", Kai said softly.

Hal looked him over carefully. Last week , Kai and Hal's undercover operation,took a bad turn. Kai , trying to keep his cover, went with a boy named Iku Otsukai, to a dealers hide out. While Hal and Narita-Chan waited outside. But , Iku ,fearing for himself, tipped off Kyo,the dealer, about Kai. Having figured out he was an undercover cop. Kyo then started to beat on Kai. Then ,getting a gun , shot Kai in the stomach. Hearing the gun shot, Hal and Narita-Chan grabbed their own guns and ran for the doors, as did the back up. Busting in the room erupted in gun fire,Kyo, the dealer was down but not out,as for his gang they were down and unable to move. None were fatally shot. Iku, managed not to be shot and snuke away,helping Kyo escape. While the others gathered up Kyo's gang members , Hal was at Kai's side and turned him over onto his back. Cursing he took off his jacket ,placing it on the wound , telling Kai if he died, he would never forgive him. Knowing that Kia could not here him.

An ambulance came ,rushing Kai off to the hospital, with Hal riding with him. Hal was stuck in the waiting room. For hours, then finally was able to get news on his partner, and was able to go in and see him. He reamed Kai out, trying to show anger more than worry. He was finally cleared yesterday, and was suppose to be home ,resting. "Kai, if your lying to me I will kill you, you do know that? Right?" , Hal said setting the photo on his desk. Kai only gave his cheese smile. "right", he said calmly. Kai looked back to the photo of Hal and some girl, then saw that it was sitting on a case file. "... this is an old case ... are we looking into this too", Kai asked. Hal gave a frustrated sigh. He might as well tell Kai, he would never leave him alone if he didn't. "No, and yes. I am doing this one, 'under the table' , i do this one, while we work on other cases . This is me, and ... my younger sister. She use to be a undercover officer, like us, then about two years ago, she disappeared. There were signs that she had been killed and for the longest time, but recently ... I found evidence that she may be alive", he said calmly.

Kia looked to him in surprise. Hal had never told him about his sister. Not ever. But, Hal never really did tell him anything involving his personal life. Though, it seemed that he was at this moment. " I'll do what I can to help you Hal", he said calmly. Hal looked him over and sighed. "whatever ... come on were going to hit up a few leads we have on Iku's and Kyo's ware abouts", Hal said standing up grabbing the file of the DS dealer and the one of his sister.

Kai let out a yawn as he stretched ,only to flinch. "ow ow ow", he muttered. Looking up he flinched more seeing a glare from Hal. "don't move so much idiot , you'll open up our wounds", he said looking out the window. Kai sighed,not saying anything and looked out the window. "so ,Hal ... whats your sisters name?", asked Kai quietly. Hal looked at him but sighed. "Yukina , she's one year younger then me", he said calmly. Kai nodded and looked to him for a few moment then back out the window. They both blinked seeing a car pull up,watching it closely there eyes widened some seeing Iku come out of the car. Then helped Kyo out who appeared to still be injured.

Hal glared , watching Kyo make his way into the large hotel. He wanted nothing more then to take Kyo down,after giving him a good beating. Do what he had done to Kai. It had upset him,though he did not let it show. He remembered when he first spotted Iku. A few nights before their undercover work began. From behind he had looked like Kia. When Iku had stepped out into the tracks,with the on coming train,the thought of Kai gone upset him. Sure it wasn't Kia,witch he didn't realize till after he had saved Iku's life,but still. He didn't know that at the time. Part of him wished he had known it wasn't Kai ,and that he had let the train run him over. If he had, Kai would not have gotten hurt. But , he wasn't one to let people die.

"Hal... Hal, you okay? What are we going to do? Hey Hal!" , Kai called out. Snapping Hal out of his thoughts. Looking to Kai he looked back to the hotel. "nothing ... for now, we know where they are ... besides its late ... and you should be home , resting, your no use to me if you open your wounds and are back in the hospital", Hal said and headed off. As he drove ,he let his thought wander. To the day his sister disappeared from her mission.

Hal sighed as he entered the office with his coffee. Carrying in a bunch of folders,he set them on his desk and looked around. Where was everyone? Heading to the main office he blinked seeing a crowed of people ,some of them reporters. A small smile came to his face. Yukina must be back. He thought to himself. That's the only time there was a crowed,that had the media there. He walked towards them seeing is he could see his sister. A reporter seeing him ran over,and was followed by other reporters. He blinked not seeing Yukina with the department head and looked to the reporter. "Hal Kurabayashi, what is your reaction to your sister Yukina Kurabayashi, disapearance on her undercover assignment?", one reporter asked. "there are reports that she is dead, is this true?", asked another. Hal stared at the reporters with a blank look on his face. Then looked around, at the fellow investigators, hoping it was a mistake. None looked at him. Looking to the chief, he saw the look of sorrow on his face. "no ...", was all he could say.

Hal's was once again snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of Kai, gasping in pain. Looking to him, he saw Kai holding his stomach. "your still sore right?",he asked calmly then blinked seeing some red coming though Kai's shirt. "you idiot! You pushed yourself to far to fast!" ,Hal yelled and sped up,heading for the hospital. Some panic went through him as the thought of something more serious could be wrong with Kai. He soon arrived back at the hospital, and helped Kai get inside. He was seen right away,and got re-stitched. Then was sent home. As they went along Kai looked to Hal. "Hal... you missed my street", he said calmly. Hal gave a slight glare to Kai. "Your not going to your home idiot , your staying at mine until your healed up", Hal said calmly. Kai blinked. The last time he was at Kai's home was when he had been drunk off of one can of beer. Kai had , taken care of him that night. Though he couldn't remember most of it.

"but , Hal, I will only be a bother to you", Kai said calmly. Hal scoffed. "idiot, you'll be a bother to me if you do stupid things like push yourself and up in the hospital again, if your with me I know you'll be resting, I'll be making you rest", Hal said calmly.

Later that night Kai was settled in at Hal's home. Laying in the bed in his spare room. He had taken pain killers an was very drowsy. Hal was in the room,keeping an eye on him,until he fell asleep. Once he was sure Kai was asleep. Kal left the room to go take a shower. Going down the stairs to shut off the lights and such he blinked as he saw a envelope drop through the mail slot in his door. 'no one delivers mail this late at night' , Kai thought. Going to the door he picked up the envelope and opened the door. He didn't see any one. Closing the door he locked the door,and went up stairs. Sitting on his bed he opened the envelope with care. Pulling out the letter inside,his eyes widened.

Dear Kal-Sama;
Your new partner, Kai, is in terrible danger. Kyo knows he is still alive, and the rest of his gang that wasn't at the warehouse that night are out to kill him. Since Kai is the holy one with the testimony to lock Kyo away. Iku is also on the look out for him. Kyo is forcing him to do all this,deep down he is a good kid. But Kyo hunting for him isn't the only reason Kai is in danger,there is much more to it then you know. The ones who hold Kai's past want him,to use him. This may to result in his death. I am warning you now so you can be prepared when things start to happen. Both of you be careful.

Sighed;Your Snowflake.

Hal kept his composure as he finished reading the letter. Who would dare try to bring harm to his partner? And how did the person who wrote him the letter know, that Kai was in danger? Ha looked over the envelope. Tomorrow he would take the letter and the envelope, to the station, to see if he could get any figure prints off it. Hoping that the one who wrote it would have their figure prints already on the departments data base. Though that was indeed a rare occurrence. With a fustraighted sigh, Hal stuck the letter in his side table and went to take a shower. Checking in on Kai as he did so.
