Chapter 4 : Subject 356

'' Haruka please calm down.'' The desperate green haired woman yelped after Haruka had walked into her office screaming at her. She had already suspected Haruka was going to be mad after she would find out she was no longer chasing the murderer which they had been following for more than two years.

'' I'm not calming down !'' The blonde yelled as she slammed her fist against the wall. How could Setsuna do this to her. Over the past few years she hadn't done nothing but being fateful to the green haired woman by doing her job and listening to the orders she got.If the case around the rainbow killer was affecting someone too much it would've been Setsuna , not her.'' I already accepted the fact you gave me another case but why in the name of all that's holy you had to put Seiya on it !''

'' Haruka I told you , to calm down.'' Setsuna said with a steady tone in her voice.'' I put Seiya and Yaten on this one because unlike you they know how to keep their personal life and work seperated. I mean , a murderer choosing his victems by the color of their hair is just...impossibly stupid. I think you need rest Haruka , take a vacation , go home. Or find yourself a nice girlfriend.''

'' Now you just sound like Kenji.'' Haruka murmered.'' And I know how to keep work and private seperated.'' Okay maybe she had spent every damn day on finding the murder but that didn't mean she didn't live her own life too.

'' No you don't and you know it. Here let me prove it to you.'' Setsuna said as she stood up from her chair and turned to look out of the big window behind her.'' What was the last time you went to the movies ? When was the last time you went out with someone ? When was the last time you bought something for yourself that didn't have anything to do with your job ?''

Haruka could just strangle the green haired woman on that very moment but instead of doig that she tried hard to think of some honest answers.'' I don't go to the movies , I have a t.v for that , I don't date and the last thing I bought for myself was...damn..'' The blonde scolded out loud. Much to her own dismay Setsuna was right but that still didn't give the other woman the right to do this.'' But why Seiya ?'' She asked again.

Even though Setsuna didn't face her the blonde knew the other was smirking.'' Because I want to test something.'' Setsuna answered. She knew Haruka was going to ask her what exactly she was testing but she simply couldn't tell the tomboy that yet. She knew that if she would put Seiya on the case of the serial killer Haruka would do her best to catch him before Seiya would and that was exactly what Setsuna wanted to see happening.

'' What do you wanna test if I may ask ?'' The blonde asked annoyed. She knew Setsuna wasn't going to answer , she didn't even know why she bothered to ask and as if reading her mind Setsuna answered her by saying.'' You know I'm not answering that.''

Haruka just nodded.'' Yeah I know , but it still doesn't change the fact you had no right.'' With that said the blonde turned to leave Setsuna's office but something caught her eyes. On the edge of Setsuna's desk lay a white document which was clearly named : Subject 356.

'' What's that ?'' The blonde asked causing the green haired woman to turn around and look at the object the blonde was pointing at. For a moment Setsuna looked like a five year old that was caught on doing something she wasn't suppossed to do but before Haruka could confirm it Setsuna had already straightened up.

'' It's nothing important really.'' Setsuna said but her voice betrayed her nervousness. Before the blonde could ask for anything more the door flew open revealing Kenji who looked at both of them with complete horror written over his face.

'' You will never guess what I just found in the mail.'' He said completely out of breath.

Haruka just rolled her eyes.'' A girl who's desperate enough to date you ?'' Setsuna giggled softly but when she saw the look on Kenji's face she knew he was serious and he had really seen something horrible.

'' What have you found ?'' She asked curious.

Kenji gazed at Haruka who let him know it was alright to answer in front of Setsuna.'' Well the murder...he...he send a letter to Haruka.'' He could see the sudden pale faces of both woman.

'' You opened my mail ?'' The blonde hissed. Kenji just ignored the question as he put his hand in his pocket and pulled a blue envelope out of it handing it to the blonde. It seemed like it wasn't opened yet. How did Kenji know it was from the murder , it didn't make any sence. Haruka decided to ask about it later and started to open it.

She pulled out a small peice of paper and started to read it out loud.'' Even the smart ones have to fail , even the strong have to lose , just know that you weren't completely wrong but not right either...many greetings..Your rainbow killer.'' It seemed so unrealistic. How did the murderer know they called him the rainbow killer. Only she and Kenji had called him this , not even Setsuna knew about this nickname. Could it be Kenji was the killer they were looking for ? it made sence , he knew the letter was from the murderer before the letter was even opened , he was the only one who knew about the nickname Haruka had given the serial killer and it would be really easy if Kenji really was the murderer , he would have access to all secret files , he could use all the information in his advantage.

The look on Setsuna's face told the blonde she was thinking of the same thing too. Kenji just gazed at the letter in Haruka's hands. Something was really wrong here , how did the murderer know Haruka was on his case , how did the murderer know all of this in the first place , the nickname , how close Haruka was to guessing who was next ?

'' Kenji...'' Setsuna started as she reached out for her gun that lay on her desk. He just stared at her in complete horror , did they think he was it ? It really looked like it but still there was no evidence he really did all of this and besides that , it wasn't in his nature to kill innocent people , it just wasn't. He now turned to look at Haruka who kept staring at him. She also thought he was it , there was no doubt about that.

'' Wow.'' He just stated.'' You two really think I did this don't you ?''

'' Look , i'm not saying you are guilty but I'm not saying you are innocent either I mean...how else...'' Haruka murmered. She couldn't find the right words to say. Something inside her knew it couldn't be Kenji but on the other hand , she had learned from this job nothing was as it seemed , that also counted for her partner.

'' Save it Tenoh , I know where I stand but okay...I'll stay in prison for a week. You'll both see the murderer will strike again and then i'll prove to both of you i'm innocent and then my dear foolish and naive women , I will quit this damn job and do what I have been wanting to do ever since I started this work. I'm going to get me a family.''

Haruka couldn't believe he acted so calm about all of this. What if the murderer was someone working on the inside and if that person knew Kenji was locked up , he would be stupid to strike now they thought they had found something.'' Wait.'' She said causing Setsuna and Kenji to look at her.

'' If we really want to catch this guy we got to play his game , Kenji couldn't have done all of this , I'll go to the crime lab and let them search the letter for fingerprints , Kenji will continue doing his job together with me , if he turns out to be the real killer I'll take the fault and you can fire me.'' Setsuna wasn't surpised. She had heard from a lot of people Haruka really had a good sence of feeling when someone was innocent or nod. She simply nodded putting the gun she was helding down again.

'' Don't dissapoint me.'' The green haired woman said while looking at Kenji even though Haruka knew the words were meant for her. Kenji just nodded and gave the blonde a thankful look.

'' Hey what are partners for ?'' Haruka asked still not completely sure wheter to trust her instinct or what the evidence was saying.

Kenji simply smirked at that statement. For a moment he thought Haruka had forgotten all about the fact they were partners , now there was only one problem standing in their way. Who was the real killer and why did he try to get Haruka and Kenji to hate eachother ?

When Kenji and Haruka had left the office a few minutes later Setsuna walked back to her desk looking at the white document in front of her. She took a deep breath before opening it and read the first line which said : Rainbow - Ami Mizuno , subject 356.

Oh Setsuna is hiding something ! And is Kenji the serial killer they have been lo0king for so long ? Well review and I'll tell , plus I promise Michiru will show up in the next chapter again...I know I know it was a short chapter but i'm afraid it's the best thing i can do since i can't make this idiotic writer's block go away and bother someone else !
