Chapter 2

The Witness Protector

Her steps were quick and short as she walked down the hall of the police department. A tear slid down her cheek from the corner of her eye. She quickly turned a corner and walked into a small waiting room.

"Hi, I'm here to see Chief Suikotsu. I got his call this morning." The young women explained. The receptionist lady looked up from her paperwork.

"Yes, he's waiting for you down the hall and to the left." She huffed and the girl thanked her.

She walked down the hall and went into a another small room on the left. There was a man sitting in a chair behind a small table.

"Hello, Sango." He said kindly. "Please come in." Sango walked into the cramped room and sat down in a chair across from him.

"Sango, I'm sorry for the loss of your twin sister." He started. "As I said on the phone, I needed to ask you a few questions." Sango nodded tightly, but her eyes were filled with despair.

"Where did your sister go last night?" He questioned and Sango took a deep breath.

"Well, last night we had a fight…"

FLASHBACK

"Michi I need help in the kitchen!" Sango shouted to her sister from downstairs, but there was no answer. Sango shook her head and walked upstairs.

"Michi! C'mon I need some help here!" She shouted again, but still no answer. Sango sighed and walked over to her sister's bedroom door and knocked on it. Sango heard the shuffle of footsteps and voices muttering.

"Michi?" Sango opened the door and saw Michi sitting in her bed with Sango's ex-boyfriend, Miroku. Sango's jaw dropped.

"Miroku!" She shrieked. "What the hell are you doing here!" Miroku smiled sheepishly and Michi glared at her sister.

"He's with me, can't you see that?" She stated angrily and Sango blinked.

"Get out!" She shouted to Miroku. He opened his mouth to protest, but Sango glared daggers at him. Miroku quickly grabbed his pants and ran out the room.

"Why did you do that!" Michi shouted and Sango brought her glance back to her twin.

"Why are with Miroku? He's a perverted lech!" Sango shouted.

"You can't choose who I go out with! This is my life!" Michi shouted back.

"I'm trying to do what's best for you!"

"No! You're not mom!" Tears filled in Michi's eyes as she quickly got clothes on and rushed out the door. Sango stood in shock.

She heard the front door slam loudly.

"… And that's the last I saw of her." Tears welled up in Sango's eyes. Suikotsu nodded. The salty liquid dripped onto the gray table.

"She was the last of my family!" Sango cried and Suikotsu placed his hand on hers.

"I promise you, that we will find whoever did this to your sister." He assured her and Sango nodded weakly.

"But Sango, I'll need to put you under witness protection." He explained and she looked at him with confused eyes."Well, this killer has struck before. He, for some weird reason, attacks twins. Usually right after he kills off the first he'll go after the second. So, we have to make sure that your safe." Sango nodded. "Your protector will be Bankotsu. Now, don't be alarmed, but he is new around here, but he also takes this job very serious and he has never let anyone down." Sango nodded again.

"Also he will be going with you today." Suikotsu finished and he stood. "If you come follow me, you can meet him now." Sango followed behind the investigator.

They walked down the hall in silence. Sango took her gaze from the ground and saw a handsome young man waiting for them.

"Bankotsu, this is Sango." Suikotsu introduced and the two shook hands.

"I'm very sorry for your loss, miss." Bankotsu said sofly, but professionally.Sango nodded and they looked into each others eyes. Suikotsu cleared his throat and the two looked back at him.

"Sango you're going to have to stay in an apartment for a while." Suikotsu explained. "Don't worry it will be paid for." Sango nodded, for the millionth time it seemed.

"Well, Bankotsu here's the key." Suikotsu handed his employee the key and Sango began to walk out of the building. Bankotsu followed behind her, but Suikotsu placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I want you to keep your eye on her at all times." He ordered. "And be careful, kid."

"I will, sir." He said as he smiled and he rushed out the door after Sango.
