Don't Turn Away
Chapter 2, Hollow Souls
I was in the office working on the case files for Naru, as he had asked me to work on them once again. "Tea!" I heard Naru yell from his office. I scrambled to get it, but as I left my working area, a man walked in, and fell asleep.
I was walking through a field when I felt the presence of a man, thinking it was Gene, I swivled around as fast as i possibly could. There in the door way was a man, 6"3', dark black hair that came down to his shoulders and swayed over his deep blue eyes. "What is your name?!" I yelled out. There was no reply. Soon, he managed to say something.
"Take the case, we need you. Use the gift we gave you." The man seemed to say pleadingly.
"What gift?" I asked baffeld. But just as the man seemed to say something the dream shifted. A woman was standing in front of me. The scene behind her turned to one of beauty. The was a ball, the gowns were shimmering in the light of a thousand chandeliers. The foyer was a large hall with two over sized stair cases on both sides of the room. There was a small balcony that over saw the entire room. The room was in colors of gold and white. The beauty was in ribbons.
The was suddenly a silence that fell over the dance hall. A man stepped out onto the balcony, and a spotlight shone down on him. He spoke with a booming voice of thunder, "Tonight we dine in victory. The enemy has fallen, my loved ones. Our family shall never fall again." He had a striking amount of reserve and only then did I realize everyone in the room was wearing masks.
The man waved his hand and a young boy resembling my boyfriend stepped from the shadows carrying a large bed. On the bed was a man, early thirties, light blond hair. The man Spoke with even more gusto, obviously proud of his achievment. "Yoshio Suoh Is dead! The ELDEST SUOH IS DEAD!" The crowed screamed in laughter. The scene faded and the last thing i heard was.. "The truth is hidden in truer lies"
I woke up to a man holding me and Lin and Naru discussing a case with the man. Before I could stop it from coming out of my mouth I screamed, "We will take the case." Naru and Lin looked at me dumbfounded. The man looked astonished. "Sorry, but is your house a mansion of white and gold?" I asked sweetly.
"Yes, but how did you know that?" The man asked politely.
"She dreamt it." Naru and Lin said simultaniously. The rest of the team walked in at that exact moment. "It's good you all are here." Naru said coldly. I sat up from the mans lap to get a better look at him. He had dark Blue-black hair, he was tall but not as tall as the man in my dream. He was porcelain pale. Beautiful but broken. "Mai has just agreed to her first run on a case. This time, I'm her assistant, Lin is her protector, and you all are her co-workers, but she's in charge. Does that bother anyone you? Or you, Mr...?"
"Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha." He said still staring at me. His voice was deeper than Monk's and twice as smooth as Naru's. His voice could rival the kindness in John's. It was all around to perfect for this obviously broken man. He had lost too much in his time but it was blatent his was still ready to push forward. Nothing would stop this pariah.
"Alright then, sissy dear, when shall we start." Monk said.
"When can you have eight rooms ready? Seven sleeping, one not." I stated.
"Two days at the most." He said hurriedly.
"Today is Tuesday. Everyone meet here, Friday and Ten. Get your beauty sleep cause we wont get much once this case starts going. There's going to be a party." I said sarcastically. Wenesday and Thursday couldn't go slow enough.
