WELL IM BACK CONTINUING THE STORY. HOPE YOU GUYS ARE ENJOYING IT! PLEASE READ, RATE AND REVIEW! ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!

In the car Eri had a bit of pouty face because of what Kogami did to her about 3 hours. He could just touch her and she would give in. He was like this tall, muscular drug that she could not resist. Kogami noticed she was slightly upset. He thought it was adorable.

"Hey." Kogami turned on his auto driver. Eri glanced at him and quickly looked away. Kogami put his hand on her leg. She immediately picked it up and put back in his lap. Was she really that upset? Eri wasn't angry like furious. She was just mad that he made her cum and she got caught with her panties on the floor and dripping juice on her counter top by one of her good friends. She enjoyed what Kogami did, but, she was just a bit embarrassed. Now she thought she looked like some sex fiend to Mitako. Little did she know that Mitako saw the whole thing? Mitako was in the back laughing and giggling with Kagari. They seemed to be hitting it off nicely. Eri looked at Kogami and his strong facial features. She blushed again. She loved Kogami. Deeply. This past year was a blessing for her. She was thankful that she got to meet Kogami. Now that she was thinking about it, she started to zone out and think about how they first met.

"Listen up." A man with a peculiar haircut and glasses announced. "We have reason to believe that the same man who has been abducting foreign students has struck again."

"What happened this time? Did another girl go missing?" Kagari asked while playing with the pins in his hair. The chief nodded.

"Yes." He pulled up the screen of the young victims face.

"She's a cutie." Kagari expressed.

"Sh." A beautiful young woman with bangs hissed. "Who is she Ginoza?"

"Her name is Eriallia Renson. She's 20 years old. She's a student at Fujiyama University. 2 nights a go one of her friends said that she was on the phone with Renson. She said suddenly Renson screamed and it sounded like the phone had dropped. Her friend also stated she heard a male voice while Renson was screaming." Suddenly the door opened. Kagari, Kunizuka, Masaoka, and Sasayama faced the door way. 'Nice of you to join us inspector Kogami." Kogami sat in his chair without saying a word. He had to take a piss. He was holding in all day. Kogami loved his job, but, sometimes he felt Ginoza was way too bossy. Kogami placed his attention on the screen and saw a young girls face.

"We call him the University Rapist since he only targets college woman. We have a lead on where he might be. Please listen to this audio tape."

Listen….Listen. If I don't receive at least 300,000,000 yen I swear I will shove my dick so far into this bitch that I'll break her in two! Do you understand me!? Sounds of a young girl screaming could be heard clearly in the background. 24 hours. By 12 midnight tomorrow or she will join the other girls in sleepy land in the next room.

"Sick bastard." Masaoka said finishing his cigarette.

"So he has to be somewhere in an apartment. He said the next room. It's definitely not a warehouse or anything." Sasayama pointed out. Kogami immediately jumped in.

"Ginoza, can you rewind the tape back to 34 seconds please."

"Sure." Ginoza rewinded it back and played the track again.

"One more time." Kogami listened extremely close. He wasn't sure at first but he heard the sound of construction. "Do you hear that? Zoom in on the background noise." Ginoza did as he was told. The sound was clear to everyone else now.

"It sounds like construction or some work zone." Kunizuka said removing a piece of her bang out of her face.

"Exactly." Kogami turned to his computer and pulled up a map of Tokyo. "If he's kidnapping girls from universities all over Tokyo, he can't have gone that far. Plus the country side hardly had any construction since most of the population migrated to the city." Kogami pulled up the cities construction log.

"So he has to be keeping the girls somewhere close by." Sasayama stated. "What time was that sent Ginoza?"

"8.37 PM."

"Bingo." Kogami said. "It has to be this building. " Construction doesn't start in this area until 8 p.m. There's very few residents and a lot of elderly people live in the area."

"That explains why no one has reported anything. It's too noisy for people to hear and since elderly people are the ones living mainly in that area-"Kunizuka was cut off by Masaoka.

"They can't really hear anything. Not even the victims if they were to scream." Kogami jumped out of his chair and Sasayama followed.

"Where do you guys think you're going?" Ginoza questioned. "I didn't give orders to move out yet!"

"I'm not going to sit around and watch another girl get killed. Just catch up to us. We're heading out now." Kogami said as he exited the room with Sasayama.

"Kogami!" Ginoza shouted. It was too late. He had already left.

Sasayama put the police car in park and turned on his dominator as well as Kogami. The area was a very well kept area. There were nursing homes and nice houses that children brought for their parents when they got elderly. The neighborhood was quite. Although it was located in Tokyo, it seemed to have a rural feel to it although it was suburban. You could see the tall Tokyo sky scrapers in the distance. Kogami and Sasayama stepped out of the vehicle and quickly made their way to the construction zone that was ahead of them. Kogami saw the tall brick building that he believed the kidnapped girls were in. He saw a dim light above and had a hunch that the bastard was up there.

"Back me up." Kogami told Sasayama.

"Rodger, Captain." Sasayama said jokingly. Both men entered the apartment building and started to search for the apartment the girls were being held in.

Eri was petrified. She watched as an average height, fat, Japanese man started to dance around singing a song that Eri never heard off. He was in his mid-30, had disgusting teeth, and reeked. Eri hadn't slept in the last two days since she had been kidnap. She was scared of what was going to happen to her. Am I going to die? Erie thought? She had an image of all the dead women in the next room. The apartment smelled foul. Erie was cold and shaking. The apartment was a nice size, but, very bland a boring. The walls were white and the only furniture she saw was a rundown couch and a coffee table. There was also a fridge. Eri was tied up on the floor hands behind her and feet bounded together by a rope. She knew screaming wouldn't help because of the loud construction that was going on around the apartment complex. The stinky fat man started to walk towards Eri. Eri's armpits grew full of sweat from the fear she had of this man.

"It's time!" he yelled pushing Eri on her back and untying her legs.

"No!" she screamed while kicking the man over and over. He was strong. He was able to grab her legs and make his way in between them. He was now hovering over Eri. Eri held her breath. The man stunk so badly.

"It'll be ok. You will like it. I promise. Just like all the others did." He swiftly pulled his member out and when Eri saw she started to scream and squirm.

Sasayama and Kogami was at the second to last floor of the apartment building. The man at the front desk had told the two detectives that the top floor had a bad flood a while ago and it was being renovated. As Kogami and Sasayama walked down the dim hallway, they both felt an eerie presence and they started to smell and terrible stench.

"How the hell did no one smell this?" Sasayama questioned. He was familiar with the smell of a dead body. Kogami had his dominator ready and continued walking down the long hallway. When both men finally reached apartment 615, the smell was really powerful. It made sense why no one reported anything. After room 601, all the apartments were up for rent. The front desk agent said that the young man who lived in 601 was never there. Kogami and Sasayama was in position to bust down the door. Kogami started to give the count off. When he reached 3, both men would bust in and raid the place. Outside, Masaoka, Ginoza, Kagari and Kunizuka had just arrive with back up to get ready to arrest the psycho path.

"HOLD STILL SO I COULD PUT IT IN!" The smelly man was growing annoyed that Eri was fighting him by moving so much. He couldn't place himself inside her. He violently slapped Eri and she stopped moving. He smiled. "Finally!" Drool started to fall from his mouth.

"NOOOOOO!" Eri saw his disgusting member making its way towards her. Kogami heard the scream and didn't wait until three to bust in. Kogami busted the door down with such a powerful kick. It startled both the predator and his prey.

"FREEZE! PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM! MWSBP!" Kogami yelled.

The man got off of Eri and struggled to pull his pants up. His member was still hanging lose. Eri started to cry tears of joy. She was saved.

"I got him Kogami, You get the girl." Sasayama said chasing the man down his apartment hallway. He was aiming his dominator at the man. He had a good shot.

Crime coefficient 344. Elimination mode activated. His dominator spoke. Sasayama pulled his trigger but the man somehow curved the shot by running into a room and climbing down the fire escape.

"Damn it!" Sasayama yelled. He quickly jumped out the window following the fat man. "For a fat ass, this motherfucker sure can run!"

Kogami made his way toward the girl whose eyes were watering. She stared at the tall man who approached her.

"I'm with MWSPB. Detective Shinya Kogami." He showed Eriallia his badge. "You're Eriallia Renson, right?" She nodded her head. Kogami untied her arms and took off his jacket to place over the girl. She seemed to have on a short night gown. It was also cold in the apartment and he could see that she was shaking. The girl brought her hands to the front and looked at the rope burn on her wrist. She then looked at Kogami again not knowing what to say.

"It's ok. You're safe." Eri's eyes watered even more and she began to bawl in tears wailing from joy and the fear. Kogami could imagine what she had been through. He quickly wrapped his arms around the girl so that way he could comfort her. "Everything is going to be ok. It's all over." Eri buried her face into his chest staining his work shirt with her tears. She clenched onto his shirt pulling him closer. Kogami heard footsteps at the door and turned around and saw Kagari and Kunizuka. They both saw Kogami with the young girl and saw the way he was holding her. Who would've known? Kogami was a bit of a softie.

"Where's Sasayama?" Kagari questioned.

"He went after him. They ran down the hall way. I hope you guys called a medic squad." Kunizuka was covering her nose. She had just joined the team as enforcer and wasn't familiar with the smell of dead bodies. Kagari walked over following the smell while still covering his nose. He stood in front of a door that had a very ghostly feel to it. He slowly opened the door and out the door crawled a maggot. His stomach turned. He saw all the decaying girls just lying on the floor with lifeless eyes. Some were in the room so long, their skin had started to decay and it was falling off the bones. He quickly closed the doors and started to speak into his radio coughing. He walked back to the living room.

"We might have to evacuate the building. There are maggots present. We need approximately 30 body bags and a hygienist team here. You can send up the medics now." Kagari didn't notice that Kunizuka was behind him and she started to puke at the monstrous site. Kagari felt bad, but, that was the job she accepted. She would have to get used to it. He patted the girl on the back making sure she was alright. Downstairs Ginoza caught the sick man who murdered all of those girls and blasted him to pieces with his dominator.

Eri sat on top of a stretcher letting a medic examine her while still wearing Kogami's coat. Her crime coefficient was originally a 37 and had went up to a 42. So there wasn't a drastic change. Well, at least, not yet. Therapy was highly recommended to her. She watched horrified as the team carried body bags out one by one. She began to cry again. Kogami finished making his report and saw the crying girl. He walked over to her. He placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him and wiped her eyes, but, more tears started to fall.

"Those poor girls." She wailed. She couldn't believe that anyone could do this. She didn't even believe she was alive herself. "Thank you, thank you so much. I could never thank you enough Mr. Kogami. If it weren't for you and your partner, I could be in one of those body bags right now. Thank you so much." She broke down in tears all over again. Kogami sat on the stretcher next to the girl and pulled her in close to him. He placed a hand in her hair.

"I was just doing my job. This is what I do for a living." Eri looked at him with big teary eyes. "Also, don't call me Mr. You make me feel way too old. Eri was able to smile through her grief. Kunizuka walked over towards Kogami and Eri. The paramedics were ready to leave to the hospital.

"Will you be going with her inspector Kogami?" The young woman questioned.

"Yea, I'll go." The EMT's loaded Eriallia into the ambulance and Kogami followed. He closed the doors behind him. The whole ride to the hospital he watched Eri get her vitals checked and examined. She laid there with a blank stare. Not a word was said. Kogami was just happy that he was able to save someone from facing a terrible fate. This was what he loved to do.

A whole day had passed and Kogami was at the hospital gift store. He saw a bouquet of white lilies. He thought they would cheer Eri up. He wasn't sure if she was still in the same withdrawal state, but, he always made sure that the victims he saved were ok. He just seemed to taken a liking to the young student. Sasayama was accompanying him.

"She will like those. Chicks dig flowers." Sasayama was hilarious. Kogami knew Sasayama since they were in high school. They instantly hit it off and became best friends. He was the reason why Kogami became a detective in the first place. Kogami paid for the flowers and made his way to the 7th floor. Eri was staying in room 702. As the two men made their way upstairs, Sasayama saw a really cute nurse with an asymmetrical bob. "Well hello there pretty lady!" He said flirtatiously.

"Womanizing creep." Kogami said joking. Sasayama punched Kogami in his arm playfully.

"Can't help it. You can't even lie Ko, she was pretty hot." Kogami agreed.

"She was." The two men finally made it to room 702. The hall was quiet and all that was going on was nurses and doctors going room to room to check on patients. Nothing really major. Kogami knocked on the door. Eri looked up and couldn't see who it was. She was in a white hospital gown and assumed it was a doctor or nurse.

"Come in." She said. She was shocked. In came Sasayama and Kogami. She didn't expect to see the two at all. "Detectives, what are you doing here? I didn't expect you." She looked a lot better. Her color had come back to her face and her hair was washed and neatly braided into one long braid.

"We just came by to check on ya! That's all." Sasayama said cheerfully. 'How are you today young lady?"

"I'm fine. Thank you both so much. You and your squad. I am so thankful to you guys. Really. I am." Eri smiled softly. Kogami approached her bedside. Eri saw the white lilies in his hand.

"I thought these would make you feel better." Kogami handed Eri the flowers. Eri blushed.

"You really didn't have to. You did enough for me already. Thank you so much."

"No problem."

"If you want you guys can sit down, you don't have to stand."

"It's ok. I'm fine." Kogami said. Sasayama sat down. He was exhausted. He had a long week. Even Kogami. Eri really didn't know what to say.

"When will the victims' funerals be held?" She asked.

"Sometime the end of this week." Kogami answered. "4 of the girl's bodies were so badly decomposed they couldn't be preserved for a proper burial. They were immediately cremated." Eri's heart sank.

"I want to pay my respects to them. Do you think you can find out the funeral information for me?"

"I can. But that's at least 20 or more funerals you will be going to. Each girl's family is making their own arrangements."

"It's ok. Even if I don't make it to them all. I should at least make it to some." Kogami smiled at Eri. He could tell that she was very kind hearted. "If I don't make it to all of them, I'll visit the families or the grave sites. I owe those girls that. When I woke up one morning, I woke up in the same room as them." Sasayama looked at Eri. "The look in their eyes. I could tell they were sad and didn't want to die. One of the girls was in my human anatomy class. We had lunch together and was assigned to work on lab work together. Her name Was Flore. She was an exchange student from France. She was so nice and I just started to build a friendship with her. She wanted to be a government agent so she was always studying. She always showed me pictures of her Mom and her dad and her little sister. She loved her little sister dearly. Now…that little girl's inspiration is gone. So many people's daughters are gone and will never come back home ever again." Eri began to cry. "But I lived. I survived so I have to do something for all of those girls and their families. It was like those girls spirits were protecting me and making sure that no one else suffered the way they did." Kogami respected Eri for those words as well as Sasayama.

"Well Ms. Renson, I will make sure that I find out all the information for you. I promise you." Eri smiled wiping her tears.

"Thank You so much." Suddenly there was another knock at the door. A woman who resembled Eri and a dark skinned man to her and hugged her. Eri started crying. "Mom, Dad!"

"My baby! Are you ok?!" The woman was crying.

"I'm fine Mom!"

"I'm so sorry Eri! Letting you come to Japan was a mistake, I should've never let you come-"Her father began. He looked like someone of high importance. He was dressed in a nicely tailored suit. Kogami also noticed Eri's mother channel purse. He was guessing Eri was from a privileged family.

"No Dad. I love Japan! I do, but, there are bad people all over the world. Not just here. Japan is beautiful and fun. Are you going to make me come back home?"

"No, but, we need to make sure you're safe." Eri's father stated. Eri smiled.

"I am safe. Thanks to these two gentlemen right here." Sasayama and Kogami took English all four years in college so they could understand what the family was saying. Eri's mother turned to Sasayama and Kogami. Hugging and kissing the both of them.

"I don't know if you guys can understand me-"

"We can." Sasayama chuckled.

"Thank you so much!" Eri's mother kissed the men on their cheeks again and they both shook Eri's father's hand.

"If there is anything you guys ever need. Please. Feel free to give me a call or shoot an email." Eri's father handed each man a card. Now that Kogami thought about it, Eri was fluent in Japanese. He wondered, how did she master the language? Japanese wasn't easy.

"We will leave you guys to enjoy each other's company." Kogami said. "We will get that information over to you too Ms. Renson." Kogami saw her tray of food left untouched. "You haven't been eating?"

"My appetite hasn't really come back yet. I just ate crackers today, but, doctors say it's normal after experiencing something like that. I'll be fine. Don't worry." Kogami smiled warmly. Both Kogami and Sasayama bowed to Eri's parents. Of course her parents thought it was weird, but, she explained that was a sign of respect for elders in Japanese culture and was often done before exiting a room and leaving visiting someone.

Eri glanced around at her friend Mitako, Kagari and her lover Kogami. She wasn't mad at him anymore. She was just thankful to God that she met him. Kogami noticed that she smiled at him. So much had happened within that year and she was there for Kogami every step of the way.

"What are you thinking about?" Kogami asked loud enough over the music taking a sip of his beer. Eri snapped out of reminiscing. Kagari had Mitako laughing. They were at some rooftop night club slash restaurant. It was a very popular place in Tokyo especially for night life. Eri answered Kogami's question.

"A special moment." She smiled. "Actually the best moment in my life." She kissed Kogami on his cheek and he wrapped his arm over her shoulder. Despite everything that happened and was to come, Kogami had never felt as happy as he did with Eriallia. He was still struggling with his inner demons, but, she seemed to always bring the best out of him. That was exactly why he loved her.
