Hey! I'm finally updating this story…and now I promise that the updates will come faster. Anyway here it is…I hope I don't disappoint you.
People will die and it can get gruesome-just a warning-
At the First Crime Scene
"Rei," Kai yelled mentally running down the side walk. He pushed people aside trying to catch up with the fast neko-jin, but he was already getting into a cab and he knew he wouldn't make it to stop him. "Damn," he cursed stopping watching the car drive off. He needed some mode of transportation.
"He can't be alone right now," Kai thought. His mind went back to several years ago when he had been eleven and lost both his parents in a car accident. No one had been there for him and if he hadn't met Tala, he wouldn't have been standing here right now. "There's no telling what he'll do," Kai whispered to himself.
"Hey you, need a ride?"
Kai turned and saw a very attractive female sitting on a motorcycle across from him. She had hazel hair mixed with a dark brown that met between her shoulders. Her light colored bangs fell in her honey eyes. Leather was her wardrobe and crimson red her bike. "Kai right, just heard about Mariah. If your heading there I can give you a lift," she jerked her thumb behind her.
Raising an eyebrow at her convenience he moved behind her and sat down. "Wear your helmet, I'm not going to have the beyblade world on my but if you die." She threw an extra helmet to him and he rolled his eyes thinking it better not to argue. They were wasting too much time.
"I need you to get there fast," Kai ordered gruffly.
"Sure, just hold on," the woman smirked unnerving him a little as she stepped on the gas. Kai gripped her waste which he notices was very curvy as was her back. The Harley rode in between cars swerving as if it had a mind of its own.
"Mariah," Rei whispered arriving at the house. He stepped through the crowd and reporters in a daze ignoring the questions they sent his way as he came to the "no crossing" sign. The front door was ajar and everything looked normal. "She's alright," Rei whispered. In his mind he was seeing the young woman walking toward him bearing flowers and smiling widely. He knew deep with in his heart it was foolish to think that, she was gone, but he couldn't believe it.
"Rei," the shaky voice of Lee called to him. The lion looked worse than anyone could have expected. The fire was gone from his eyes that were now blurry and red with tears that flowed freely. He looked weary even though the day had just started and frail.
"Lee," Rei answered crossing the line ignoring everyone around him. His team mate and old friend came up to him tears brewing and hugged the tiger. Crying into his shoulder Lee began to whisper Mariah's name over and over."
"Hush," Rei said more harshly than he intended. "Mariah's fine, everything's going to be normal real soon. We'll go to the lake later okay? Remember how Mariah used to always bet us at fishing. She's so proud isn't she! How bout you and I knock her off her high horse today? I bet she'll be pissed when we beat her. Than we can climb the mountain were we used to all go remember? Mariah wants to do that so bad again Lee, let's go round up Gary and Kevin and go. Just the five of us like she wanted. Yeah, we can have a picnic and everything just to surprise her."
The cops and news reporters seemed to quiet down as the tiger continued to ramble, tears running down his cheeks. Rei gripped Lee tighter with each word as the lion fell to his knees bringing the tiger with him. Every word Rei said cut through him like a knife but he didn't have the strength to oppose them. "Mariah, Mariah, Mariah," Lee chanted back and forth in time with his rocking. He tried fruitlessly to push away from Rei and his words but it was hopeless.
"What in the world," the woman asked as she cut off the engine of the bike and took off her helmet. Kai mimicked her actions and took off into the crowd leaving her to follow. They both stopped before the barrier to the crime scene and watched Rei.
"It'll be fun, you'll see. Mariah will have a ball. That's what we'll do! And her birthday Lee, her birthday's coming up soon, we should through her a party and take her to a Dream concert, you know her favorite band. She'll love it."
Kai narrowed his eyes at the officers who kept their distance and the newscast who were watching intently smelling a new story for the front page. Why wouldn't anyone stop him? He was hurting himself and Lee. Growling he moved under the rope and roughly pulled Rei off of Lee so he could cry on the ground. The officers now were in play and came towards him.
"Rei," Kai growled commandingly as if he had just messed up during practice. "Kon answer me!"
"Mariah always loved pink roses, they were her favorite flowers. She looked so happy when I got them for her at the beyblade tournament! I was so happy that I had finally found her favorite flowers ya know Lee?" Rei continued talking in his own little world not even seeing Kai in front of him.
"Kon," Kai growled. Nothing was going to work, he had gone off he deep end. "They'll get their story," Kai thought glancing behind him at the hungry reporters. "Sorry Rei," he mumbled as he pulled back his fist and struck Rei.
"Hey," a cop near him yelled as Rei fell to the ground. He grabbed Kai who didn't struggle and pushed him into the ground pulling out his cuffs and hand cuffing Kai Hiwatari.
"Kai?" Rei asked rubbing his cheek. "What?"
"You were rambling," Kai answered as he was dragged to his feet. "Only way to make you shut up."
Realization of what he had been doing dawned on Rei and he looked at Lee weeping into the ground near him and everyone else watching intently. "Oh god," he mumbled. "Lee I…"
"What's going on here?" A tale blonde male out of the house looking angry as he headed towards them.
"Ryo, we're not done here!" Another male yelled at the first one. He had dark black hair and came out of the house. Taller than the other one he was just as handsome with a badge shinning brightly on his belt lope.
"Why is he in hand cuffs?" Ryo asked completely ignoring the male behind him.
"Don't ignore me!" The other male yelled.
"He was assaulting the young black haired neko-jin," the officer replied. The black haired male suddenly sobered and looked at the situation around him noticing Rei's bloody mouth.
"Why were you attacking him, and why was they behind the rope anyway? This is a crime scene," the black haired officer pointed out.
"The dark haired neko-.."
"I have a name," Rei voiced standing up. "I'm Rei Kon of the White Tigers. Mariah was my girl friend and when I came I was a little hysteric. Kai only hit me to bring me back." Rei glanced at the ground. Ryo's eyes immediately softened.
"Let him go than," the dark haired male voiced and got a quick yes sir before Kai was released.
"Rei," Lee picked himself off the ground. "I forgive you," he spoke quietly before walking away from everything to lean against a tree near a pretty black haired female.
"I'm sure this must be hard on you," Ryo spoke. "My name is detective Randy Maclean you can call me Ryo and this is my partner detective Dee Laytner. We've been assigned to this case." Ryo carefully avoided which case he was talking about.
"Yeah," Rei voiced feeling weak.
"You're Rei Kon," Dee nodded towards him. "So who's this?"
"My name's Kai Hiwatari, captain of the blading team the Bladebreakers. Rei is one of our members," Kai answered for himself not bothering to hid the annoyance in his voice that they had been asking Rei not him. Dee gave him a glare that he answered back with a calm controlled look.
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to come with me to the station Rei," Ryo voiced softly. "There are some thing's we have to ask you your captain is going to have to come along to as well as both the Bladebreakers and White Tigers."
"Why the Bladebreakers?" Kai asked crossing his arms. There was no need for his team to be interrogated.
"Because you have close ties with the White Tigers." Dee answered. "We should do it now, the first forty-eight hours of the investigation is critical."
"Would you mind riding with us to the station?" Ryo asked putting a hand on Rei's shoulder. Rei looked at the house longingly but shoke his head. He didn't feel like talking but if it could help find the killer, than he would do anything. A look of rage and determination came across his face that didn't go unnoticed by the detective as he clenched his fist.
"You too," Dee pointed at Kai.
"I'll find my own transportation. I do believe you're going to contact my team at the hotel and ask them to come in?"
"It sounds like you've done this before," Dee narrowed his eyes.
"The interrogation is later detective," Kai answered smoothly.
"Come on Dee," Ryo grabbed his partner lieterally dragging him back into the squad car and drove off with Rei.
"Need a lift?" the woman asked again as Kai turned around. The body was rolled out on a stretcher in a body bag behind him and Lee threw himself into a hysteric fit.
"I don't even know your name," Kai stated but walked with her to the Harley bike.
"Mai. Oh and sorry about your friend. It must be a great loss," Mai looked at him sympathetically.
Kai shrugged his shoulders. "We weren't that close and I learned a long time ago that people always leave you."
"That's a sad thing to say," Mai answered back putting on her helmet. "Why do you believe that?"
"No one can hurt you that way," Kai answered not knowing why he was being so open as he got behind her.
"True," she answered. "but than no one can love you completely for being you either. They'll only love the side they think they know," she answered turning on the engine and driving after the squad car.
Okay, note: I changed the boyfriends name why… because Dee and Ryo are two hot cops in a manga called FAKE and are so awesome! Since I love 'em so much I decided to put them in the story so… Read and review please. The next chapter will be twice as long. Bye. Oh and I bet you still can't figure out the killer! You'll never guess! Hahahahah.
Disclaimer: I don't own FAKE or any of the characters.
