Hey! I'm Kiryusai (Kira for short) and I'm way nervous about posting this. I don't even let my dog stay around me when I'm writing. Yeah. Ok. So this is my first fan fiction story. Ever. Believe it or not, about a week ago I was going though my old notebooks that I wrote stories in when I was maybe six or seven and found this one story that really stood out. Instead of having talking animals with strange colored fur and magical powers, it had actual people and was well thought out. Everything down to floor and ground color was there. And the character descriptions just happened to remind me of a certain anime I'm quite found of. So after about 3-4 days of re-wording, re-naming the three main characters from Aven, Chrom and Lily to Kaname, Zero and Yuki, trying to read little kid, Kira's writing, debating on posting it and laughing at my adorable attempts at spelling when even what now seem to be the simplest of words were spelled horribly, I came up with this. Let's hope you guys think it was worth it. When/if I get at least four comments asking me to continue I'll put up the next chapter. Yes it's already "translated" to actual english. So I'll shut up now and you guys can read the real thing. Oh wait. WARNING- OOC but really you can't kaname/zero anything without a little of that.

Kaname had arrived at work at 6:45, just like any other day, and headed straight to his office. He was not a morning person. He exchanged simple hello's to the rest of team 17, who were also unfortunate enough to get stuck waking at ungodly hours because their job demanded it of them. Was his uncle, and founder of Phoenix corp. around at such times? No. Of course not. He was most likely still asleep like anyone else with any type sense. But at least Kaname wasn't part of the science department. Those poor saps. Some of them had to show up before the sun had risen.

Kaname jammed his key in the door, though he didn't know why he bothered locking it. No one would even consider going in his office without his consent. Perhaps he was just overly paranoid. He pushed the door open and felt heat engulf him almost instantly. He grumbled under his breath. He did not like heat. He threw his suit jacket on the chair of his desk and hit the small glowing blue button on the wall to activate the air conditioner before walking out and heading to the conference room for coffee.

Coffee was already made and thankfully still warm, bless Ruka for that effort. After almost three cups of coffee later, he was nearly half awake. Kaname hadn't bothered going back to his office. It's not like anyone would be looking for him that didn't already know his normal morning routine anyway. No one ever really needed the Special Forces Street Patrol. The normal law enforcements were constantly contacted for one reason or another but the SFSP were strictly reserved for the major street crimes.

There was more than one street patrol. The normal one, which consisted of both humans and vampires and the special forces patrol which was a group of extremely intelligent vampires, skilled in various martial arts with strength to spare. The average street patrol was used when enforcing curfews and dealing with thiefs among other things but the SFSP dealt with murders and kidnappings and any other crime the other sections couldn't figure out themselves. By this time, everyone knew of vampires and most humans accepted them, some humans had already married someone of the other race. So really there are no longer problems when it comes to co-existence so the vampires can take a breather from keeping themselves a secret.

But anyway, no one ever called on the SFSP because no one was stupid enough to commit a crime of such severity because they feared the SFSP would seriously get involved. After all, would you want a group of deadly vampires knocking on your door at midnight or chasing you half way around the world (though you most likely wouldn't get that far) until they caught you? No. I didn't think so.

Kaname closed his eyes and shook his head, silently wondering if team 17 deserved the millions a month they were paid for doing pretty much nothing. He decided he wasn't going to complain a while back but every once in a while he couldn't keep himself from thinking about it. Sensing someone beside him, Kaname opened his eyes. That's right. He'd almost forgotten. Once or twice a week, his friend, Kain would meet him here for coffee and simple conversation. Heaven knows he would find it when with the others.

Team 17 consisted of eight vampires. Kaname, himself, who led them and the very few investigations they were called for and handed them their paychecks at the end of every two weeks. Then there was Aido, who was hyper and talkative and easily offended. He was usually a goofball but could turn hurtful and cruel in three seconds flat. Not to mention messy as can be. Kaname's nine year old sister was cleaner and more organized then Aido had ever been. Try to talk to him just to talk and you wouldn't get a word in edgewise. Though, at times, Kaname did use him simply to amuse himself. He would often get flustered and clumsy and his face would turn the color of Rudolph's nose when Kaname would suddenly ask him questions or just look at him for that matter. Ruka was a bit cold to most people. She didn't have a lot to say when she wasn't yelling at Aido. She and Kain seemed quite close though. And she was always ready to protect her friends and listen to their problems. Kain was calm and collected. He didn't let things get to him and was always trying to keep Aido out trouble but wound up getting into it as well. Shiki and Rima were, well, Shiki and Rima. Quiet, seemingly emotionless and maybe in a state of perpetual boredom. They avoided conversation, choosing to chew on pokey rather than speaking. And then there was Seiren. Honestly, Kaname thought, she always seemed to disappear into the shadows until being called on. Everyone knew she couldn't go far, considering the fact she always seemed to know what was going on and rarely needed someone to fill her in on details. Then Ichijo. He was Kaname's best friend. The only one he called for when he needed to rant about something or he needed something done as quickly as possible. But he was also the only one who did actually paperwork or any work at all, really. He would drop everything if he was bothered during work to talk to whoever had bothered him until they didn't want to talk anymore and then be up all night finishing work and insisting he didn't need any help simply because he didn't want to burden anyone.

"Sir." Kain's voice suddenly startled him out of his thoughts and back to his surroundings. Kain now had a cup of half empty coffee and was leaning against the counter that held the coffee pot. Kaname blinked. When had he even moved? Regaining his composer he gave a nod of acknowledgement. "Kain. How are you?"

Kain sighed before answering. "A body was found close by, sir. A vampire male belonging to the science department has been killed, as well as several syringes full of multiple types of depressants, pain pills and blood tablets stolen. I've been informed our team is to investigate and bring the killer in for questioning."

What? Did he hear that right? Murder? Kaname look at Kain for a moment before calmly nodding. "Very well. Gather the rest of the team and we will head to the crime scene now. You may fill everyone in on the details on the way." Well that's new. And a pretty big shock.

Kain nodded before placing his empty cup on the counter and leaving to hunt down the others. Kaname sighed and finished his now cold coffee.

Maybe he was wrong about people's stupidity.

Maybe he was wrong about people never needing to contact the SFSP.

Oh, well. It wont take long. Probably some vampire who was desperate for drugs and out money to buy them so settled with anything they could get their hands on even if it meant taking a life.

There's no way he could be wrong about that.

Right?

So there it is. The 1st chapter. ugh. For some reason I feel like it was boring. Not the type of boring like something your teacher would make you read in class or for homework but boring like when you click on something, read half way through it then your like 'why'd I ever click on this?' I just feel like I spent too much time on detail and didn't explain everything enough or explained it in a confusing way. I always focus more on less important things. *sigh* Well tell me what you think and if you want me to continue. And... any tips? Please? I'm sure you can come up with at least 1 thing. Anything I spent too much time on or not enough time on? How can I make my writing better? Comment or PM me and tell me what you think. Even if you're gonna say it was the most terrible thing you've ever read. Thanks for taking the time to read this and my story! (I'm not great at spelling so if you catch misspelled words I skipped please let me know.)
