A/N: This is my first chaptered Ren/Pirika fic! Please bare with me on this one. This story WILL require you to accept many character deaths. I have nothing against the doomed characters. Its just crucial to the story that they die so don't flame me for that aspect. Also this IS a Ren/Pirika fanfic so if you don't like that couple turn back now. I don't want to read reviews about the "poor choice in coupling" So please R&R!
I also don't own Shaman King. Just a lot of the merchandise.
Twenty-four year old Ren Tao sat in front of the brightly glowing computer monitor, hours after the rest of the other officers had left. Theoretically he was filing the closing reports to his latest solved case. But a different report was on the screen.
Coroners Report
Patients Name: Jun Angel Tao
Birth Date: October 10, 1981
Death Date: July 8, 2002
Doctors Notes: Jun Angel Tao died at 3:15 a.m. on the morning of July 8, 2002. Jun Tao was unsuccessfully treated for a GSW to the upper chest. No exit wound. No bullet extracted. The bullet entered and tore a small hole on the upper right ventricle of the heart.
Dr. Mark Nickles
Head of Coronary Laboratory
Ren read back each line carefully. He didn't need to though. He had read the coroners report at least half a million times. Jun Tao, his sister. Well she was his sister until she was murdered in warm blood.
'She was only murdered because I'm a class act screw up' he though bitterly.
:Flashback:
Seventeen year old Ren, sat on the hood of his jet black and silver chromed 1983 Trans Am. It was pouring rain outside. The hot July air hung heavily around him. He had a prideful smile on his face, a sadistic glint in his eyes. A half dozen guys were sprawled out on the parking lots cold, wet pavement. Only one guy was left standing.
"Think your so tough shark head?" he snapped
Ren just chuckled.
"Shark head eh? I'm more of a dragon myself. You know regal, smart, cunning, and vicious"
Headlights blinded both boys as a dark red Chevy Blazer pulled into the lot.
Twenty-one year old Jun Tao came out, pulling her light jacket closer to her.
"Lian Yuan Dao!" she yelled
Ren looked at his older sister saying with his eyes 'Go home Jun. This doesn't concern you'
Jun stepped between her brother and the fallen gangs leader.
"Lian please come home! Mother and I are worried about you!" she pleaded.
The gang leader smirked, pulling out a small handgun.
"You better listen to your babysitter Lian" he said, tauntingly
Ren growled dangerously.
"Shut up! Come here and say that!"
Jun turned around to the gang leader, just in time to catch a bullet. Jun hit the pavement, unmoving.
Ren looked at his sister in shock.
"Ya know Ren" the gang leader said, causing Ren to look at him as he ran towards his fallen sister, holding her close to his body.
"Actions speak louder than words. Very sinful actions mind you" he said before running off.
:End Flashback:
Ren's memory was interrupted as his message box beeped.
Ren opened his inbox.
"Funny I don't recall knowing that address" he thought out loud

After that the correspondence ended.
Ren stared at the screen wide eyed.
