Tke: This may feel like it's kinda short, but it's got a lot of info. :D I bet you aren't thinking of half the stuff mentioned.

Riku: jeez, you're just a bitch

Tke: Yes, yes I am.

Riku: at leas you admit it

Tke: It's better to admit it then be in denial, like you are in over half the stories.

Riku: WHAT?!

Tke: Dude, I don't own anything, if I did KH would be rated FO+, Fangirls Only (the + is for fanboys too) and there'd be a lot of smehxing.

REVIEW REPLIES:

KitaraStrife: Kairi might be a suspect at one point, but for now they need to talk to people who were close to the family, and Kairi is one of them.

Saber Kon: Well, I watch both Law and Order and CSI, they're my favorite shows, so it'll be a mixture of both. Parasite Eve and Resident Evil are two of my favorite games; I'm actually more willing to play them over KH, lol.

Demonz8000: I do love CSI too, so it's kinda a mix of LaO and CSI, because that's where I come from. I'm big on murder/mystery shows.

DarkOne900000000: Glad you loved it.

Ichiemay: Yes, I do too!! I just hate those ones that are completely uber depressing, so I'm going to try to make this seem more professional.

Cherry: I love gore, so there will be lots. XD It's just the way I am.

Launch Shinra: Yeah, I'm a little sad that I had to kill them, but it'll all be fixed at the end, so we just have to wait.

Phaz: It's a big difference of story lines, lol, but I hope this'll keep catching your attention.

-An Unhealthy Zemyx Obsession-: me amazing? Cough you must be confused with someone else… hehehe… thanks for the review.

SomeWhereFarOff: Well they'll have revenge on the killer, so you can take revenge then.

Shadowtailmon: Yatta, it's complicated, but you're gonna have to wait and see for the couplings. Hehehe.

Koneko Hoshi: I watch CSI and Law and Order, so it'll be like a combination of both.

Purple crystal dagger: Let's just say it's headed towards drug deals, the mafia, and secret powers, that's all I'm letting out.

Deathly Sources Chapter 1:

Witness

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

KNOCK, KNOCK!!

The door opened, a young lady stood there with vase in hand, she brushed some of her red hair back as her violet eyes watched them, "Yes?"

"Kairi Hitakate?" Axel asked slowly, bracing himself as he slipped his hand into his coat pocket.

"Yes?" She asked again, "Who are you?"

"Axel Nakango, I'm a detective for the city, and this is my partner, Riku Umino."

Her lips pursed, slowly lowering the glass vase that had been at her side. "How may I help you?"

"We'd like to ask you a few questions concerning the Kaze family."

Her eyes lit up, lips open in shock as she gripped the vase tighter, "Are they okay, did something happen?"

Riku bit his lips, "Ms. Hitakate… last night… the family was murdered."

She froze, glass vase falling and shattering on the floor, Riku led her to her couch, Axel nodded and began to clean up the glass.

"Murdered?" She whispered, looking at Riku, who sat on the couch across from her, "All the family?"

Riku nodded slowly, watching tears run down her cheeks, "Is there anyone who'd want to hurt the family in any way?"

She shook her head; "I've been best friends with Sora since we were kids…" A bittersweet smile made the way to her lips, "Our mothers were friends in the delivery room, they even shared a room…" She held her face in her hands, "Sora and Roxas were kind, there was no one that I know of that would want to hurt them, never."

"Can you tell me a little more about them?" Riku asked softly, watching Axel throw the pieces away and sit next to him before looking back at Kairi.

She nodded, "Their father was almost always gone, business trips, trying to expand their banks over the world. Their mom was a bit harsh, she didn't really care for Sora too much…"

Axel paused, "What do you mean?"

"Well… she would give Roxas everything he'd want, but she'd make Sora work for what he wanted." She frowned, "But Sora didn't really care, everyone at school loved him, he was very popular, so he didn't worry too much because he had people to fall back on." Her eyes met Riku's, "Roxas could be a little rude and pushy, but he always meant good. He'd be very protective over Sora, must've been twin instinct or something." She whispered, looking up, "I can't really think of anyone who'd want to hurt them…"

"What about fights were there ever any fights with the family that you can remember?"

She shook her head; "Roxas had gotten into a couple fights at times, but never anything serious. Sora, there was always some guys talking with him, but I didn't know much."

"Guys?" The two questioned.

"Yeah, black suit, black sunglasses, like the government or something."

They eyed her, Axel sat back, "When was the last time you saw them approach Sora?"

She paused, trying to think back, "Probably last week, Sora promised me he'd go shopping with me." She looked up at Axel, "And they talked to him while I was in the dressing room."

"How did you know it was them?" Riku asked.

"I heard Sora talking, then two men's voices I didn't recognize, so I opened the door slowly, and I saw them through a crack." She looked torn, "They were speaking low, so I couldn't really hear what they were talking about, but I knew it was about a man."

Riku's heart nearly stopped, "A… man?"

She nodded, "Sora told me, a few weeks ago, he thought he met his special someone, the person he'd like to share the rest of his life with." The two were silent and she continued, "I thought his family would go ballistic, espcially Roxas, but Roxas apparently knew the man, so he was pretty okay with it."

Axel noticed Riku begin to daydream again, so he sighed and turned back to Kairi. "Did they have any other close friends we can talk to?"

She nodded, giving them the information they needed.

And as Axel wrote the information down, Riku couldn't help but dream of what the brunette must've been like.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X

"They're dead? … Somehow I'm not surprised…"

Riku's eyebrows shot up, Axel voice his thoughts, "Why would you say that?"

The blond laughed, shaking his spiky hair slightly as his dark ocean blue eyes met Axel's, "There's things about that family that Kairi doesn't know." He looked around, "I never really knew Roxas though, Sora was whom I hung out with."

"Look Mr. Kizou, tell us what you know about Sora then. What kind of secrets would Ms. Hitakate not know?"

"Just call me Tidus." The blond grumbled, "The reason Kairi doesn't know is because Sora wouldn't let her know."

"And he'd let you know?" Riku asked, looking unbelieving.

Tidus rolled his eyes, "I've been in the dark, ya know, underground gambling, the mafia, all that, there's things I know about Sora that Kairi could never know."

"Like what?" Axel asked.

"The four things that called any man, naturally." Tidus shrugged.

And by the looks on their faces, they didn't get it.

Tidus sighed, "Want them in the order Sora like them?"

The silver haired man nodded as Axel opened his book to take notes.

"Drugs, drinking, sex, and money." Tidus answered, walking with the box of books at his side towards a shelf. "Sora was on anything known to man, cigarettes, cocaine, heroine, anything. You've heard of it, Sora's tried it." Riku frowned, watching Tidus continue to put books away like he'd been doing when they'd got there, "Drinking, you know that pub down on 37th street? And their drinking contests?"

Riku nodded.

"Sora's uncle won every single time, and Sora could out drink him."

Tidus picked up his now empty box and had Riku follow him to the back room. Axel had gotten a phone call, leaving Riku to take the notes.

"Sex." Tidus answered, closing up the box and grabbing a new one, "Sora's never been with someone for more than a week. He's got a new guy almost every time I've seen him, yet he's got lines of guys wanting to date him."

Riku's eyebrows rose, "And the money?"

"Ever heard of prostitution?" Tidus asked, resting his arm on a box and putting his chin into his palm. "To put it shortly, their mom loved Roxas, hated Sora, and their dad worked too much to notice. Sora worked for money because his mom would give him like… ten bucks a month, telling him to live off it. So when Sora would show her up when they went out to dinner as a family, she always got pissed."

Riku's lips pursed, ready to ask another question when his phone rang. He allowed Tidus to be on his way before picking it up, "Hello?"

"I'm going to talk to Roxas's friends, you coming?" Axel asked, annoyance in his voice.

"Yeah, yeah." Riku answered, hanging up the phone and heading out the door to meet his detective in partner.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X

"Roxas? That's a big loss there." Hayner muttered, running a hand through his dirty blond hair and looking at them with honey brown eyes.

"What do you mean?" Axel asked, eyebrow rose.

"Roxas ruled the Underground, ya know, mafia, he was highly respected." The blond shrugged, "But also feared, it's a deadly business."

"So in other words, both brothers had something to hide." Riku answered, blinking.

Hayner paused, "Sora's dead too? Man, that's horrible." He eased back into the chair, "Sora might have done bad things, but he really cared, mostly for his brother."

"Really?" The two asked, wondering about the family's feelings towards each other.

Hayner nodded, "Once, Roxas almost had AIDS, ya know, from drugs, not sex. Sora dragged his brother down to the doctor that instant to check."

"So this kid… controlled some of the underworld…" Axel answered.

"Yeah, but he had certain rules. No one could sell to Sora while he was around, and no one could buy Sora either." The blond shrugged, "Roxas was trying to get Sora away from that kind of life, but Sora was permanently there."

Riku spoke up, "Buy Sora?"

"Sex." Hayner answered, twirling his pen around, "Roxas was strict, but a lot of people liked him. He did drugs once and a while, but he was no addict."

RING! RING!

Riku paused, getting up and stepping outside to answer his phone.

Axel turned to Hayner, "Is there anyone that would want to hurt them?"

Hayner shrugged, "In that kind of business? Who was safe?"

"Axel." Riku walked over, whispering something in his ear.

Axel nodded, saying goodbye to Hayner and handing him his card before walking with Riku out of the apartment.

"Riku, you okay man?" Axel asked as they were getting in the car, Axel behind the wheel and Riku in the passenger seat.

Riku looked up slowly, "Why wouldn't I be?" he asked.

Axel shrugged, "You just seem out of it."

Riku huffed, "Well I'm fine, so hurry up and goddamn drive, if Xaldin is kept waiting, he'll start the body examination without us."

Axel nodded, pulling out of the space and taking off.

He knew something was wrong with Riku, being friends with him for so long, they were almost like brothers.

So what would Riku attempt to hid from him?

X.X.X.X.X.X.X

Tke: I decided to end here, the body examination and witness reports of the next part will be very important, so they'll have one chapter all to themselves.

Riku: so when does the romance come?

Tke: all you care about is getting laid, don't you?

Riku: my little Sora's hot I can't help it.

Sora: blush and looks up at Riku excuse me… but who are you?

Riku: freezes and breaks down

Tke: you forget Ri-kun, he's dead, he doesn't know you
