Heero Yuy, private investigator, stomped into his apartment and slammed the door shut. "Not one... not one goddamn call all day.." He was incredulous. A murder had just taken place and not one person had called!
Mentally exhausted he pulled a beer out of the fridge and plopped down in 'the armchair' to drink it. He turned on the 6 'o clock news on channel 4. More broadcasts on the wrong doings done last night.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door to his apartment. It was light, tentative. He had to put the television on mute to be positive he'd heard right. It came again, a bit more insistent. Heero walked to the door, wondering who it could be. He swung open the door, and stood in complete and utter shock, mouth agape, as a teenage girl smiled up at him.
"Hello. Are you private investigator Heero Yuy?"
He nodded, and closed his mouth. The girl looked so out of place on this side of town. She had black hair reaching midback and the hugest violet eyes he'd ever seen. She was wearing a little yellow sundress, hiking boots, and a black leather jacket. Talk about contradictions.
"I have a job proposal," she told Heero.
"Come in," he told her and stood aside to let her pass. She glided in, and he closed the door behind her.
"First thing's first, what's your name?" He asked, regaining a sense of order in his head again. "My name is Hotaru. Hotaru Tomoe," the girl answered. "Okay, Hotaru. Now how old are you?"
"I am nineteen. I believe that is above the legal age which you must be in order to be considered an adult. Am I correct?" The girl raised her head at a challenging angle, daring him to contradict her. He chose not to. Instead he nodded. "What's the job?"
"I have no doubt you have seen the broadcasts on the news today about the murdered boy." Again he nodded, but this time as confirmation. "I want you to find his killer." Time froze and crystallized before him. Find a killer? Isn't that what the police are for? Heero mentioned this to Hotaru.
"They do not know their asses from third base. You, however, have an impressingly good record. They also tell me your the best man for this kind of case," she answered him. "I see," he replied. She didn't mention just exactly who they were. He was just about to say yes when~
"There are conditions, Mr.Yuy. First, you must contact me any and every time you get a new development. Second, you must listen to what I have to say. Otherwise I will be taking my business elsewhere."
"Fine."
"Good. I will pay you in cash when your job is completed. You may contact me at this number, but I won't be available until after sundown." Hotaru handed him a piece of paper with her name and phone number written on it.
"I'll contact you immediately."
"Thank you," she said and began to move towards the door. He hurried to open it for her. She gave him the wisp of a smile as she passed, but never looked back once, and never hesitated on her way out.
Strange girl, he thought while locking the door. Wonder why she wants to find the kid's murderer.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Hotaru had been seething when she had awoken, and read her newspaper. How dare some entity invade her territory and have the nerve to kill? She'd bet her life it was another vampire. But how to find him? She certainly didn't have the knowledge to do such a thing. Not without help.
So she logged onto the Internet and searched for Milwaukee, private investigators. Hundreds of results had popped up, but one had stuck out like a sore thumb. It was a police investigation report. It turns out that Mr. Heero Yuy had gone onto a crime scene in order to expose a cult ring taking place in their own city.
He was obviously not afraid of the surreal. So she decided to pay him a visit. Hotaru looked up his home address, quite easy on the yellow pages site, and gone to where it said. It was a cinch sneaking past the supposed security alarmed doors. When his door had flung open she had been admittedly shocked.
Hotaru had expected to see some fat, ugly almost-forty year old. Instead she'd gotten a slim, hot, couldn't-be-more-than-thirty year old. One hundred percent mortal hottness. God, she'd even smiled at him flirtatiously, so momentarily surprised she was. Then Hotaru had regained her senses and gotten down to business.
Naturally, he had suspicions about her. She couldn't blame him, after all, she was tiny enough to pass for sixteen. And she had no doubt he'd look up her records. They were all impeccable though, so she had nothing to worry about. Soon, she had confidence he would have some sort of lead. Then she could do a little nighttime investigating on her own.
AN: That's it for now. ^_^ What did you think? You finally found out who the vamp was! Aren't you happy? (I mean, who else did you expect ir to be? Usa-baka?) I had them meet. I got the chemistry started... now let's see what happens next! =)
