Chapter 7- Criminal in the room

Tohma pov

I sat at my desk opening letters from all across the country. You'd really think that paperwork and things such as that would be less of a burden as you moved up the corporal latter. It turns out it actually doesn't. In fact it gets far worse and by the time you're the boss, paperwork become the main part of the job. I let out a sigh and stared up at the clock. At least I would be able to leave in another hour or so. My cell phone went off and I grabbed it from my pocket.

"Mushi Mushi….and who would be calling?" I asked calmly.

The voice on the other side of the phone was just as calm, "It's me."

"humph….such a vague answer! If I wasn't so sure it was you Eiri-kun then I'd probably think of investing in caller ID," I sighed turning back to what I was doing before grabbing a small knife like object, using it to open up the letters. "And to what do I own this unexpected called?"

"Where….where have they taken Shuichi?" Yuki's voice shook as he spoke.

I stopped what I was doing for a moment before setting everything aside completely, "So you have already heard?"

"Answer the question Seguchi…." he said coldly.

I slumped forward in my chair going through the pros and cons of telling him. Finally I decided that it would be in my best interest to just give him the information, "Down town at Kaikoru police station. Will you not do anything to stupid….for me at least?"

The line went dead without an answer and I sighed deeply. Typical. Just so typical! I went back to opening and reading the mail and accidentally pricked my finger with the edge. I put the finger in my mouth gingerly, lapping up the blood as I looked around the room for bandages. I came across some and rapped them around the wound carefully.

I walked back to my seat and slumped down into it, "I swear..at this rate…..I'll look like a mummy by this time next year!"

Yuki's pov (had to happen eventually right?)

I drove my mustang car down the road at a break neck speed. The city of Tokyo flew by with each mile. Gradually I took my foot off the gas. The car slowed and then stopped in front of a large building in the middle of the down town area. As I walked in a large German shepherd came running by followed by two men and a woman. The dog was carrying something in her mouth.

I whistled and she stopped in her tracks and did a double-take, "Coora…here….now!"

She dropped the bone and came charging towards me with her tail wagging happily. She sat on her back leg and gave me a real hopeful look. Reminded me of the brat kinda….wonder if all humans have a dog just like them.

I patted Coora on the head absentmindedly, "So I've found one baka…could you direct me to the other?"

"And just who are you buddy?" A relatively unkempt man muttered.

"Eiri Yuki….now as I was saying before….the owner of the dog….where is he?" I asked coldly.

"Ohhhh! Do you mean Shubaby?" The woman asked confused. I raised a eyebrow at the unusual nickname. "Booth and Brennen were just taking him in for questioning….in the back I think….."

I didn't really hear what she had to say after that because I made a bee line towards the way she was talking about. I was so determined to get to my destination that I didn't notice a person walking in the same hall as me and neither did she. We collided and fell backwards.

I heard Shu's voice coming from a near by room speaking in a heavily accented English, "I'm sorry if I destroyed any image you had of me miss!"

There was sadness in his voice that actually broke my heart just to hear it, "Shuichi?"

"Who are you?" The woman hissed but I paid no mind to it as I walked into the other room.

He looked startled for a moment but recovered quickly and glomped me, "Yuki you're here!"

"Yeah yeah whatever…" I said peeling him off just barely worried now that I had seen that he was okay.

*sigh* what was there to worry about? They probably just questioned him and now they feel like total idiots for ever suspecting him. I set him down carefully and stared down the man before me. Oddly enough he was able to hold my gaze. We were so caught up in our staring contest that we didn't even notice that the girl had walked back into the room.

He was the first to break the connection by looking down at his shoes with great interest, which I was unbelievably pound of. I pulled Shuichi closer to me and grinned smugly at the man before heading towards the door. I was stopped in mid-stride when a small hand touched my shoulder roughly.

"You are not allowed to leave until the full interrogation is over or rather the boy beside you is not allowed to…." the women said harshly. "Now…Yuki? I suggest you sit down in here or go outside because we do have very important matters to attend to and I do not need to baby-sit a full grown man at the moment so sit, stay quiet and please do not try to remove the criminal from the room again!"

I was rather surprised by the utter bluntness of the women in front of me but then it hit me, "Criminal?"

She looked me straight in the eyes and nodded stiffly. The man beside her seemed to break from a daze and started to speak again, "Right…right…Mr. Shindou…you are here by arrested for the murder of Tachi Aizawa….you have a right to remain silent, any further information you speak about can and will be held against you…you have a right to an attorney…"

I didn't hear anymore of what the man was saying. All I could do was look down at Shuichi. Our eyes met and mine silently asked if all of it was true. I got my answer when a single tear slid down his face and fell to the floor. I held him tighter in my arms without drawing attention myself and said a silent prayer. 'Please God….don't take him away from me.'

A/N- well I'm sorry that the chapter isn't all that long….originally this was only half of the next chapter but I felt bad for not posting for a while so I had to cut it short. Sorry…REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
