A/N: Seeing as this is me, the fic is gonna be yaoi. Please, you have been
warned so tread carefully. Hey, I know this isn't such a popular pairing
but I can't help myself. It's not really serious at the beginning but it
might be.. I still have to think about it. I'm also doing another fic which
features the same couple. In the meantime, please enjoy this one.
Prologue of sorts..
Spending a whole month as some ahou's bodyguard was not what Detective Aoshi called a fulfilling job. Not when the client was a stupid idiot who didn't deserve to be protected. However, it was the mission he was given and resistance would make him lose his place in the force. There was no time to worry about that now. His contract was over and done with.
He shook his head as he entered the station. By the sound of the chief's voice last night, cases were piling up and waiting for him. "At least it's better than wasting away beside that chump." He muttered.
By the looks on his comrades' faces, Aoshi guessed that the chief neglected to inform them of his return to work. Ah, but who cares about such trivial matters anyway? He wouldn't have time to talk to them anyway since the chief had already hinted about a case on the way.
Ignoring their stunned faces, he walked towards his office and boldly opened the door.
....
Well, there was another thing the chief forgot to say.
"Who are you?" Aoshi asked, although it was more of a command. The woman on his chair didn't seem to be intimidated by his tone. In fact, she merely looked up from her work and smiled cheerfully.
"Ah, you must be Shinomori-san." She said, standing up. "I'm Kamatari Honjo- your substitue of sorts."
Without waiting for him to answer, Kamatari moved away from his desk with her things organized in a box. "I'll see you around." She remarked and went past him.
Aoshi shook his head, still not understanding what had just happened. "Whatever.." He muttered to himself and entered his office. Looking around, he noticed that the chief must have given his office to his substitute, Kama whats-her-name. The whole place was clean and his things were still right where he left them.
Sitting down, the detective noticed a green folder on his desk. This must be the case his chief was talking about. Sparing no thought for what happened earlier, Aoshi got down to business. Barely getting past the first paragraph, his door swung open. He was about to reprimand whoever it was for entering without knocking, but words failed him.
"Gomen nasai for interrupting. Ano..."
It was the woman from before. She looked a bit sheepish and was currently shifting one from the other.
"The chief told me that I was to be your partner on this case." She continued.
Aoshi simply stared at her with a deadpanned look. This woman? This lady was to be his partner? Ever since he started working as a detective, he had never had a partner assigned to him before. Why was a partner needed anyway? And somehow, she did not look like someone who could handle his cases. Why, he bet that she could not even stand the sight of blood.
Standing up, Aoshi excused himself and hurried to the chief's office. He didn't even bother to knock.
The chief was on his chair and it seemed like he was expecting Aoshi to come bursting in as he did not show any surprise.
"Explain." Aoshi demanded.
Chuckling, the old man gestured for the detective to take a seat.
"Kamatari Honjo is a miracle worker. She makes good coffee." He started. Seeing the impatient gleam on the man's eyes, he sighed and decided not to torment Aoshi any longer.
"Actually, Kamatari is.. well.. He's handled all of your cases when you left. And might I say that he's done a perfect job. He's focused and determined and courageous. Aside from being quick-witted and smart, he's also very very useful in our..ahem.. undercover operations."
Aoshi frowned. Although he heard all of Kamatari's accomplishments, there was one thing that bothered him. Why did the chief kept referring him as a he..?
"...undercover operations."
The words finally registered on his mind. Kamatari was very useful for undercover operations because she could go where no man couldn't.
"She's a he!" Aoshi exclaimed.
The chief sighed and nodded his head. "Hai, hai. Now, don't get me started on the whole speech again. He is to be your partner and that is final. Besides, the whole station loves him so why don't you go and talk to him?"
Aoshi stood up and left, his mind still wondering how a woman could be a man.. He wasn't dumb but still.. He entered his office once more and found the object of his confusion sitting on his beloved chair. The whole room went through a complete transformation and was that...?!
Moving closer, Aoshi confirmed that yes, it was a doll collection.
"What the fuck is this?" He asked incredulously.
Kamatari simply tilted his head and smiled. "That's my favorite doll collection."
"Take. Them. Away."
"Where will I put them away?"
"Anywhere but here! Why don't you take them home!"
"No way. I have a separate collection for that. Those are office dolls and they bring good luck!"
"Absolutely not! If I have to work, these dolls have to be discarded!"
"Why?! If you have your tea set, I should at least be able to have my dolls!"
Aoshi growled. He was not used to being challenged like this. And where was the demure lady he had seen a while ago? Didn't he see her..him.. acting all shy and dainty just a few minutes ago?
"Listen Aoshi, I think we should have separate chairs. I'm not against you sitting on my lap but you know office gossips.." He remarked, chuckling.
"Get your own chair then!" Aoshi shouted.
"I already have one." Kamatari answered, still smiling.
By this time, the other officers were gathered outside. They needed not press their ears to eavesdrop for they could hear Aoshi shouting already.
"Amazing... Never thought anyone could provoke a reaction from him."
"Well, that's Kama-chan.. But I wonder if the chief is right in pairing them up?"
"That's their problem, not ours.."
Meanwhile, said chief was in his own office, chuckling to himself and sipping wonderful coffee.
