Disclaimer: I did not own any characters from the anime Sailormoon.

Author's Note: Yeah, RukaMichi92 you got it right. I'm a chinese. When I was writing the chapter, I was watching a HK drama series, so can't concentrete on my writing. Furthermore, my grammar is alraedy like shit. It just make the matter worse. I HATE GRAMMAR! Aiks. Btw, I don't know how does the beta readers function works. So, you want to be my beta reader?

"Akogare yori, Akogare ijou no yu me wo i daiteru, dakara shoujo ja irarenai hodo ai wo yobu, watashi dake ja, watashi dake ja nai, minna hajiraitsutsu tomerarenai, naze aitoku naru no"

My phone was ringing. I picked up my pants from the floor and searched for my phone. "Tenoh's speaking….Kenchin? Yeah….what? A corpse?" I sighed. "Ok, I come now." I quickly put on my shirt and prepared to leave when the corner of my eyes caught a slim, naked body lying on the bed. I stopped and stared at her.

Flashback

We were just having casual chat in the living room when and angel and a devil appeared on the both sides of my shoulders.

Devil: Haruka, act now.

Angel: No. What she needs now is comfort from a friend. Remember the road that you both take to form this friendship. It's not easy.

Devil: She invited you in. It means she does have the same intention too. Look at her lips. It's so inviting.

Angel: She invited you because she needs someone to accompany her for a chat. To lighten up her spirit. Not more than that.

Devil: Look at her body language. She touches your hand now. She's actually giving you initiative to make the first move.

Angel: No Haruka. The touch means nothing. You know her too well; she's not the easy going type. She really treats you as a friend. Don't spoil this friendship.

Devil: Haruka!

Angel: Haruka!

"Will you two please shut up!" I shouted to myself only to earn suspicious glare from Michiru.

To simplify the matter, the devil had won. With my professional flirting skill, it's too easy for me to coax a heartbroken woman to sleep with me. I had forgotten how I did it, but, I really did it.

End of flashback.

I stopped and stared at her. Automatically, I crawled to her side and gave her a kiss on the cheek. I smiled. Reality suddenly hit me as I covered my mouth in surprise. "Damm. What was I doing? I kissed her. I never do that to any other girls that I slept with before." Silently and slowly, I get off from the bed and walked in tip toe towards the exit as soundless as I could to avoid waking Michiru up. It was too late.

"Rushing to work?" Michiru stirred a little before opened her eyes.

"Ermm.. Yes. A corpse had been found at a dump site."

"Oh…Ok." Michiru felt awkward with the whole situation. She lifted her blanket to cover her whole body up until her neck.

I quickly set up an explanation for our yesterday's event. "Look, no need to feel worry bout yesterday…hm.. you know….errm….I want it, you want, we both volunteer for it. No force. Another day comes. So, just forget bout it. We are still friends…" I scratched my own temple and smiled weakly. "…if you still consider we are. So, no worries. Don't mind bout it."

Michiru nodded her head slowly. "Yes… you are right. But, thanks anyway."

"For what? For keeping you satisfied?" I laughed. Michiru threw a pillow towards me and it hit me on my face.

"Look. I can't play with you anymore. I really have to go now. Call me if you need anything ok?"

Michiru nodded again and I waved her goodbye. After I had left, Michiru touched her cheek. The placed where I had kissed her just now. She knew I was going to kiss her just now, but she had no intention to stop me.

I squatted down to have a clearer view of the corpse. Kenchin came near to my side to report his discovery.

"We didn't found any identification card or documents that can leads to his identity."

"Has the coroner arrives?" I asked.

"Yes."

I walked to the coroner's side who was busy packing the evidence.

"What can you gather from the corpse, Dr Mizuno?"

Ami Mizuno, the only female police's coroner, adjusted her spectacles, then led me back to the corpse.

"As you can see, he's a male. There's a very visible strangulation mark on his neck. My early deduction; strangulation is the cause of death. No other wound was found on his body. From the body decomposition level, the man had been dead for around 2 to 3 weeks."

My brows were knitted together and once again I examined the corpse with my naked eyes.

"When can I have your full report Dr Mizuno?"

"3 days."

"Ok. Thanks a lot." Dr Mizuno excused herself from the crime scene to continue with her job.

"Chikaru, try to get the statement from the people around this area, if they see anything suspicious in this 1 month time. Kenchin, get the corpse's fingerprints and check it with Missing People Department, see you can find a match or not. If no, then try other way to identify the corpse. Rukawa, check the crime scene area for any new evidence. Guys, get moving now."

Kenchin came back with a report in hand. "I got it. The victim was charged with assault offence last August, so actually we have his fingers' record at our database." Kenchin distributed the notes to us. "His name was Maori Matsui, 33 years old, worked as a massager at Ichi Massage Center."

"A guy worked as a massager?" Rukawa raised her eyebrows with curiosity.

"Is there a hidden meaning in what you had say just now?" I asked.

"Well, usually a man who worked as a massager is gay." Rukawa said.

"Well, it depends on which massage center he works at." Kenchin explained.

"I agree with Kenchin. Not all male massagers are gay." I stated the facts.

"Glad to see you all guys are here." Dr Mizuno smiled at the front door and stepped into our meeting room. "I have brought the autopsy report. There's some information inside which I think is quite interesting." Ami handed me the report and I read it out.

"Cause of death: Strangulation. Decomposition level shows that he has been dead for 3 weeks. Time of death is 0200 to 0400. No other visible wound was found. Inside of the victim's mouth was traces of……" I stopped and looked at Ami with questioning eyes. Ami was grinning now.

"What is that?" Kenchin asked.

I cleared my throat and continued. "Taces of……semen."

"What?! Rukawa's eyes were wide opened when he heard this.

"His hand had it too." Ami added.

"Means he had oral sex with someone before he was being killed." Chikaru said. Ami nodded her head.

"Just oral sex? How bout intercourse?" I looked at Ami.

"No, there isn't any. And…. " Ami chuckled. "…I found some semen inside his throat too."

"No…. " Both Rukawa and Kenchi's face went pale. Ami laughed.

"Dr Mizuno, you are very entertaining today." I smirked.

Still grinning, Ami excused herself from our meeting room.

"This is really, really sickening." Kenchin frowned.

"Enough. Now, we have 2 new clues over here, we will split into 2 teams. Kenchin, Rukawa, you to will go to Ichi Mas……

"NO WAY!" Both Kenchin and Rukawa rejected in unison. "What if we are unable to get back out?"

"Don't worry. Judge from your current look, no one is safer than you two. The safety level is almost 100." I teased them.

Chikaru was laughing non stop. Their faces were red, boiled in anger.

"You two go to the massage center to gather any information that's related with Maori Matsui. Love, enemy, money, his regular customers, anything. Meanwhile Chikaru and I will go to the victim's house to search for some clue. We will check out his financial status too. Understand all?"

Both Kenchin and Rukawa reluctantly nodded their head.

Lyrics Translation

I embrace this dream beyond longing, which is like aspiration. Therefore, I call for so much love that I cannot remain as a young girl. Just myself alone…No, not just me. Everyone's shy, yet unable to stop this feeling…Why do I get the urge to see you?
