CHAPTER 2

Yukio's POV

"Where'd you reckon the scream come from?" Jensen yelled as we ran towards the direction of the scream, trying to figure out where the scream come from. I shook my head, not sure where the scream came from until I heard it again, clearer this time.

"In there!" I pointed to an alleyway near the place where we were running to and I quickly swerved to the left, to where the scream come from, leaving Jensen behind in the dust, trying to catch up to me.

As I ran into the alleyway, I quickly used my magic to sense the alleyway, staying cautious to not get jumped by someone, and I stopped when I saw a sky blue-haired woman right in front of me, pointing shakily at the front, her face ashen as if she had seen a ghost.

"Miss? I want you to look at me, okay? Look at me and breathe with me." I asked softly, making my breaths heavy so that the woman could hear my breaths and follow my breathing and she did, shakily at first but after a while she had managed to calm down a little. I frowned at the woman, feeling worried for her although I was glad that she had managed to calm down a little because she looked so shaken earlier and I didn't know what had made her this way.

"Miss? What happened?" The woman stayed mum at first at my question but after a few minutes of gentle probing, she finally told me everything.

"Your friend,....you said she is dead from a bite from someone but it was so dark and you can't see?" At my question, the woman nodded and pointed shakily to the front, and I nodded, braving myself as I went forward, silencing my footsteps so it won't alert the culprit that could still be there. After a few steps, I froze, feeling a lump in my throat at the horrible sight because the murder scene in front of me could be described as chilling and horrifying, as if I was flunk into a nightmare that I can't wake up from. I felt my body trembled as I saw the horrifying scene, a dead female fae on the ground, red blood seeping out of her and onto the ground, forming a puddle around her dead body that is expending rapidly. I quickly got into action, gently pulling the woman to her feet and turn her around so she couldn't see the horrifying scene, and I gently led her out of the alleyway, nodding my head at Jensen as I saw him coming into the alleyway.

"Jensen, can you take care of this young lady and bring her home? I'll call the detectives from the other precinct." Jensen nodded, gently probing the young woman to get out from my grip and gently led her out of the alleyway. Smiling fondly a bit as I watched Jensen and the young lady left, I turned around and my face morphed into seriousness once more, and I quickly grabbed my phone from my pocket, calling the detectives from the closest precinct that I know. A few minutes later, I ran back to the brutal scene in the alleyway, taking in the brutal scene, searching for clues. A few minutes later, I heard footsteps from behind me and I turned around, almost bumping into someone.

"Sorry." I said distractedly, my mind still on the crime scene, trying to figure out who was the one who had killed the Fae woman, and I heard a silent chuckle, soft yet a bit grating due to age.

"It's alright kiddo. I know you did not mean any harm." I glanced up, feeling stunned to see the person, before a wide grin formed on my face, feeling glad that it was someone I know, it was the second famous detective in Japan, Ren Saruhiko, who is one of the elder detective in Tokyo and my ex-boss.

"Sir! It's good to see that you take my call!" Ren nodded mutely, a small smile forming on his face because of how fond he is towards me, as if I am his world.

"I heard that there is a victim in here. Am I correct?" I nodded at Ren's question and led him into the alleyway, peeking at Ren to see a deep frown on his already grim face, eyes filled with thoughts and pity on the poor fae woman who was killed. I quickly took a look around, noticing a puncture mark on the far woman's neck and I stumbled back, eyes widening with horror as I realized who had murdered the Fae woman.

"Sir, I believe I have some bad news." Ren turned around in my direction at my words, lifting a hand in a "go on" gesture which indicates me to continue.

"I believe that the one who had killed Miss Rika's best friend is the same person who had killed the previous victim."
