Normal POV
Yoruichi yawned as the meeting started, and Shizuma looked just as bored, blowing at her fringe repeatedly.
"Shihouin and Hanazono, when you two are ready" a voice interrupted.
The purple haired woman grinned, flashing her pearly white teeth and saluted the lieutenant and her friend waved playfully.
"Morning sir!" they chorused.
The middle aged man sighed and slid folders over to the six present in the room and pointed to the photo on the board,
"His name is Leo Brennan, aged 53, and was found dead in an alleyway five blocks away. He was stabbed to death with three knife wounds in the abdomen and two to the head and others in various places. He got divorced two months ago with Jenny Kellis, and we found out they had a daughter together. So in short, I want Yoruichi and Shizuma in charge of this case, and I want the murderer behind bars as soon as possible. Understood?" Gavin cleared his throat when it looked as if Shizuma was tuning out.
"Yes sir" the room echoed their voices.
With a click of the tongue, the 24 year old stood up from her seat and made to leave to her office with Yoruichi in tow. The latter only sighed and ran the folder against the walls and windows as she walked past, occasionally winking and smiling at passing officers.
The two were well-known in their department, and in others too of course.
It wasn't everyday that you get the ultimate playgirls as your team captains, because one would think they only had the looks.
The pair proved everybody wrong when they solved their first given case by Gavin in only 8 days. This caused rumors to spread like wild fire, with people dubbing them as the 'top' pair in investigating crimes. As for the written reports? They never made it in on time, but the lieutenant always let it slip.
Once Shizuma pushed the door closed, Yoruichi fell back onto the couch with her legs up and the silver haired beauty plopped down in the office chair.
"We gonna go check the ex-wife and the kid first huh?" the cocoa skinned woman asked, skimming over the contents of the folder with little attention..
"…So how old's the daughter?" Yoruichi asked, a grin forming.
"I know what you're thinking and no. She's 20" Shizuma replied, heading out.
"Party-pooper" the younger of the two pouted, pocketing her badge and then securing the handgun in her holster.
"But if she's got green eyes, she's mine" the 24 year old said over her shoulder casually.
Yoruichi rolled her eyes, knowing that her friend was a sucker for green eyes.
"Oh come on, play fair" she crossed her arms.
It took a while before the young woman replied with her thumb rubbing at her chin in thought.
"Ok then, whoever gets her number first-"
"Means the loser shouts them dinner" Yoruichi finished.
"Fair enough" Shizuma nodded in agreement as they continued to walk out of the building, pushing the doors open only to get slapped in the face by the harsh wind. The two took a sharp turn left to Yoruichi's ride whose owner patted the black sports car affectionately.
"I love my baby" she smirked.
5 minutes into the car-ride Shizuma banged her head back against the head rest and groaned,
"What's with that?" her friend cocked a brow in question.
"The lady lives on the other side of the bloody town" the woman replied.
"Sleep it off, but that gives me time to plan" Yoruichi smirked, tapping at her temple with a finger.
The silver haired woman flipped her off and proceeded to stare out the window at the passing buildings quickly becoming blurs to her amber eyes.
"Oh, I almost forgot" the younger of the two started, drumming the steering wheel to the soft beats coming from the radio,
"Hm?" Shizuma turned to her friend and raised a brow.
"It's no big deal but I just thought I'd tell you your starbucks girl was at the club with Soi fon" Yoruichi said casually.
"I know, I saw her"
"Oh? And you didn't make a move on her?" the dark skinned woman asked in a teasing tone.
"Thought I'd save myself from the torture" she replied, rolling her eyes.
"But damn I wish she weren't so naïve" she sighed afterwards, earning a chuckle from the woman beside her.
"Well, if you're not gonna bang her the next time you see her, I'll do it for ya. Cos you know she's hot"
The 24 year old frowned, unable to explain the slight pinprick feelings all directed to her heart and gripped her tee in her fist.
"You seem to be forgetting the rules" she said,
Her fingers relaxed to letting loose the material in her hand as she said those words, turning to Yoruichi.
"Hah, talk about jealous!" she had a cat-like grin stretched across her face.
"Am not" Shizuma denied, swiping the fringe from her eyes.
"Remember, my target-"
"You mean victim right?" her room mate corrected with a laugh, forgetting what the other woman had been implying.
"Hey, they're all willing alright? But that's beside the point, the point is; Soi fon happens to be my challenge right now"
The silver haired woman shook her head and leaned back into the passenger seat, staring at the clouds outside that were turning darker by the minute.
"That just got me thinking, we aren't ever gonna settle down and date are we?" Shizuma tapped at her chin humorously.
"Never in a million years, being stuck with just one woman is too painful" her golden eyes were laughing at the idea of even having a girlfriend.
Yoruichi almost thought that as a ridiculous suggestion because she couldn't even stay with a woman long enough to remember her name, let alone date her.
Dating people would just make things a whole lot more complicated, well, in her world that is.
Have a couple of drinks, maybe a dance or two and then its sex until the alcohol drowns out from her system.
Those were Yoruichi's…guidelines one could say, and Shizuma's weren't too different to her best friend's plans.
'Great minds think alike' they'd always grin.
It took another half an hour before they reached their destination and climbed out from the car, proceeding to knock at the wooden door. Yoruichi readied her hand and Shizuma was adjusting her badge when a young woman caught their attention.
"Um…excuse me?"
The two turned around, Yoruichi raised a brow at the tank top fitting the top half of her body perfectly and the other was smirking.
"Yes?" Shizuma flicked her silver hair behind her back.
"Well, I was wondering what you were doing in front of my house?" the brunette asked with a shy voice and heavy breaths.
The woman, looking around to be 19, 20 was sweating from the amount of jogging she had just completed with an ipod strapped to her thin arm and shorts that were riding up and tempting the two officers.
"Are you Emie(pronounced Emi)?" the cocoa skinned woman asked, with a smile on her face.
"Yes, that's me" she replied unsurely with a growing blush on her cheeks.
Emie had seen many men and women in her life before but none quite like the two because truth be told, they were stunning.
One of them had unusual but beautiful long silver hair kept in a high ponytail with playful amber eyes. Her body was tall and curvy in all the right places, so in much more simpler words, her body was to die for. And the other woman had nice chocolate toned skin and mischievous golden eyes with purple hair. The colors were matched quite uniquely, but at the same time so perfect that many would be jealous of.
And another thing that shocked her? Well, she wasn't interested in women but when their eyes landed on her, something in her melted and butterflies fluttered in her stomach.
The two flashed their badges at the daughter and Yoruichi grinned,
"Mind if we come in and ask a couple of questions?"
"Uh, yeah, sure…" Emie replied, a little nervous under their gaze as she opened the front door and lead them in.
The first thing the two noticed was a woman in her late 40's cleaning the house who they guessed was Jenny Kellis and photo frames over any appropriate surface possible. Yoruichi took note of the people in the photos, clearly finding that Leo was absent in all of them.
"Hi honey, back from your jog already?" the blonde asked, eyes still focused on dusting behind the TV.
"Actually mum, there's two people here to see me and uh…" she didn't know what else to say. She herself was confused as to why police officers were after answers when she sure as hell didn't commit any crimes. She turned to Shizuma and Yoruichi, offering them seats, feeling her mother pop her head out and then widen her eyes in surprise.
"And who might these young women be?"
"Morning Ms Kellis," The silver haired beauty began, standing up and showing her their silver badges.
"I'm Hanazono Shizuma and this is my partner Shihouin Yoruichi" she introduced.
"We came by to tell you that your ex-husband Leo Brennan was found dead 2 days ago. And because we're just following procedures here, we came to ask you a few questions"
"Leo…dead?" the aging woman asked, more than a little shocked though lacking any other emotions.
"Yep, got knocked round for a while before he got stabbed in the head, in the guts, basically in a lot of places" Yoruichi explained, crossing her right leg over her left and kicking her foot back and forth.
Emie was slightly puzzled at this, why were they acting so casual about the whole thing? Especially the darker woman who had just taken out her pen to doodle about in her notepad used for questioning.
"Let's begin, shall we?" Shizuma said, stifling a tired yawn as she relaxed into the couch.
"So what was Leo like?" she paused, her eyes scanning the area.
"…An alright family guy or a drunk bastard who beat his wife and possibly kid?" the 24 year old's golden orbs rested on Jenny's forearms that were exposed and showing hints of old scars.
The mother was quick to pull her sleeves down to cover them and looked away with shame.
"It's alright, you can tell us" the older of the two said, tone soothing.
"He's dead anyway" Yoruichi shrugged, scribbling on the pad.
There was a long moment of hesitation before a sigh was heard.
"…He used to get drunk every night, and occasionally get high on drugs. And when he came home, he would beat us until he lost interest and then storm up to his room" the blonde said slowly, biting her lip.
Now we're getting somewhere
Shizuma and Yoruichi grinned.
40 minutes later, the two were on their way back to their headquarters with new information.
And who got Emie's number in the end…?
"…That was such a cheap shot" Shizuma couldn't help but roll her eyes and cross her arms in front of her ample chest.
"Yeah I said get her number, but I didn't specify how" her friend replied smugly.
"But if you really want, I can give you her number" Yoruichi offered,
The woman with amber eyes snorted,
"You make me sound desperate and that I am not"
"Then who gives if I asked for her number in case we have further information on the case, I'm not gonna bed her anyway" the purple haired woman said.
"Oh? Now that's new" the older of the two arched a perfect brow.
"See, if you were listening to me before then you would've known I'm gonna bang Soi first" Yoruichi wagged a finger left to right with a confident smile.
"That's when you get your hands on her, and forget about banging her, you're gonna screw her into next week if it happens" she chuckled.
"Damn right" her topaz eyes twinkled with playfulness.
"Oh no, wait, that's if she doesn't reject you first" Shizuma laughed,
She got the finger as a reply as she continued laughing which resulted in Yoruichi slamming down on the break at a red light. The silver haired beauty banged her head back against the head rest from the force of the car jerking, making her friend stick her tongue out in pay back.
"Hah! Not so funny now is it?"
Her room mate glared at her, pressing her full pink lips together.
"..So, what would you do if you saw starbucks girl again, honestly…?" the younger woman asked again, just for the heck of it.
Silence and another glare.
"What? I'm serious!" Yoruichi held back a grin.
Oh, it was gonna be a long way back.
