Until the end.
I can’t believe it. Finally after all these years, I caught him! He’s at my mercy, under my weight. I can hear his halting voice; it was a long and hard chase. During all these years I wished this day would come. I caught you and you can’t escape anymore. I can feel his heart beating in his chest, is he afraid? Of course he is. I will discover his true face, no more secret identity, no more masks.
“It’s over, Mr. Thief!” Slowly my fingertips touch his mask. Within a second I’ll know who he is. I remove the mask, slowly, so slowly, this moment is so important. Three years. I pursue this man for three years. Even if I want to see his awful face, I’ll take my time, I’ll savour this moment. I can feel how much he struggles under my weight, but it’s useless, my grip is firm. I will not let him go.
“P…please…” He said. It was a whisper; I can hear his fear, his dismay in his voice. Wait a minute…It couldn’t be?!
*****
Another busy day. I open the front door and announce that I’m back. The lack of reply tells me that he didn’t hear me, always so busy in the kitchen. I love these moments, I cherish them. Silently I head for the kitchen; he’s standing with his back to me, his earphones on his ears prevent him from hearing me. Good. I rest my shoulder on the doorframe and look at him intensely. I can’t help myself and smile as I see how his hips are moving. The knot of his apron bouncing on his buttocks is at the same time cute and sexy. How I love him! Always cheerful, smiling, so full of life. I walk in his direction, surround his waist and hug him from behind. He started under my touch but felt at ease quickly. As he takes off his earphones, I rest my chin on his shoulder and whisper lovingly: “I’m home.”
“Welcome back.” He answers me and then rests his head against mine. We stay like this for a long minute until we smelt something is burning. He lets go of my embrace and starts to panic.
“Oh no! The meal is burning!!” His big gestures and funny complaining show me to get out of the room.
“So? How was your work?” He asked me as he put the plates on the table. We start to eat and talk about our respective days.
“Well, good. My boss told me that crimes’ rate in our district is still reducing and that’s thanks to me. I don’t think so but he insisted…”
“He’s right. You do a great job, I wonder what they would do if you weren’t there…” He says, looking at me as he takes a spoonful of rice.
“Don’t say that, I’m not that great! I’m just doing my job…” I reply, my cheeks start to blush, I can feel it.
“Yeah but, detective isn’t an easy job. I really think you’re good at it.” The serious look in his eyes shows that he really thinks so. I love this look, but I largely prefer the smile which follows.
“Th-thanks…” Aaaah! I can’t stop blushing!!
“But…” He starts. Why does he look so worried, now? “It’s also dangerous, right? I mean… I feel rather worried when you’re working. Please, promise me you’re careful.”
“Masaki…” I sigh. This topic always comes back.
“No! There’s no “Masaki…” You know and I know this is dangerous! All those murderers, those drug dealers! I don’t like it!!” His usual big smile disappears as a worried look takes place on his beautiful face.
“Murderers? Drug dealers? Come on, Masaki. How many times do I have to tell you: I’m in the robbery district! I’m not in danger!”
“Yeah…tell that to your ex-partner…” He replies, pushing his plate aside, and taking his head between his hands.
Touché! That’s right, more than three years ago, my best friend and partner, Ohno Satoshi, got shot during a bank robbery. These moments are still vivid in my brain:
The one to blame is the Matsupi Gang, consisted of Ninomiya Kazunari and Matsumoto Jun. Ohno and I were informed of a holdup at the General Bank. It was dark and when we reached our destination, the place was silent. I thought it was a mistake or a prank, since our source was an anonym call, and I decided to come back at the police station. But Ohno, who loved his job, wanted to be sure everything was okay and entered the bank. When I heard a warning call and then a shoot, I ran inside the building as well. In front of me, my partner was facing the two guys, his gun on the ground.
“Satoshi!” I screamed, but he shook his head without looking at me and raised his hands in the air.
“Don’t worry. I know Ninomiya would never dare to fire at me…” I still can see the smile on his lips when he said that. And he was right. But he had forgotten that the Matsupi Gang had another man. Matsumoto pointed his gun at Ohno, his hand shaking and his face showing fear.
“Let us go! Let us go or I shoot!” He screamed. As Ohno walked slowly towards them, the Matsupi Gang stepped back.
“Satoshi-kun, please don’t come nearer!” Begged Ninomiya, his hands firmly gripped on Matsumoto’s.
“I will shoot! Don’t come or I’ll shoot!” Warned Matsumoto. These were the worse circumstances. You’re less in danger when the criminal is self-confident than when he’s afraid, only God knows what a desperate person would do to save his life.
Then everything went fast. A warning, a shoot, and screams filling the deserted hall.
Ohno was laying down on the ground, his hands on his stomach, his face painted with pain. I ran toward him, but Ninomiya was faster. He knelt down, took Ohno on his lap, his hands covered in blood as he tried to stop the wound from bleeding.
Ohno was smiling despite the pain, and rested a shaking hand on Ninomiya’s cheek. The voices are still resounding in my head:
“Satoshi, Satoshi…”
“I…didn’t…want…to…” Whispered Matsumoto, walking slowly toward his partner who repeated again and again my partner’s name.
“Satoshi, Satoshi, Satoshi,…”
“Don’t be so worried! Satoshi’s fine now!” I reassure my lover as I kneel at his feet. Since that incident, Ohno works as an administrative assistant at the police station and spend all his free days to visit Ninomiya who’s still in jail. The Matsupi Gang will be release in two months, and Satoshi told me he will ask to Ninomiya to live with him.
“Everybody doesn’t fall in love with criminals you know?” I take his hands in mine and squeeze tenderly. He looks at me and I give him my best smile, the one which shines, even in the dark!
“And how do you feel when…you know…Don’t you love him?” He asked, smiling and sniffing. I wipe his tears and caress his wet cheek.
“Who?” I asked, smiling like an idiot.
“You know…Him!”
Just thinking of that man, and I see red. Him! That man! My worst enemy: The Miracle Boy, as he likes to call himself. The only one I still can’t catch! Only God knows how much I hate this man. So self-confident, so fast, so full of himself! It’s been already three years and I still can’t get a hold of him. Every time I’m on the verge of catching him, he manages to run away. Always making a fool of me.
“How could I love such a man?! He’s a demon, the Devil!!” I exclaim, angry. There’s no way I could love that man, I would rather die! But I have to admit that he puzzles me. Why does he let the police know where and when he will be? And why does he give back the items he had stolen? Only the worst criminal would do that!
I’m pulled off my thoughts when I feel his wet lips on mine. He’s still worried, I can feel it. His kisses are desperate. I know it’s hard for him, always waiting at home all the day. Fearing a call, a bad news. Always wondering if I would come home safe at night. And Ohno’s story… But I can’t help it. I love my job and he knows that. For the first time in my life I’m good at something and I would never quit my job.
I try to reassure him as I kiss him back. I cup his head in my hands and lick and bite tenderly his lips. He takes a deep breath as he parted his lips. As my tongue meets his, I can feel him, slipping from his sit. We’re both kneeling; I break our kiss and plant my sight in his. He’s so beautiful, so cute. I let my hand rest on the back of his neck and kiss him again. He puts his arms around me and brought us closer. He’s a so passionate person. How can’t I love him? He’s the one. As our kiss becomes more and more feverish, we fell on the ground. He’s upon me, his legs on both sides of my stomach. A stomach which seems became a butterflies’ nest. Our fingers entwine above my head, his tongue caressing mine eagerly.
“Sho…bedroom…” He says in our kiss. This is not a question, but I nod in approval even though and can’t hide my excitement. Without breaking our kiss, we stand up, not without difficulty. The bedroom had never seemed this far. After bumping on the walls several times, he bangs me against our bedroom’s door, and as his tongue tortures my mouth, deliciously, I find the doorknob and turn it. We fell on the bed and his moans turn me on more and more. I’m losing my sense so much that I can hear something ring. It must be my ecstasy.
No, wait a minute.
This is my phone. And the one reserved for urgent calls.
“Shoooo…” Complains Masaki as I get off the bed.
“Sorry…just a minute…” I begged and pick up the phone. The way I look at him, he knows our private moment will be delayed. I can’t help it; it’s about The Miracle Boy. I hang up and pick up my gun in the drawer. Masaki lays down on the bed and look at me, his chin on his hands, disappointed.
“Couldn’t you pass this one?” He asks me, even if he knew my answer.
“Sorry. I won’t be long.” I reply as I peck the top of his nose and get out of the room.
*****
His target is the Gabrielle’s Red Ruby. A priceless gem which is exhibited at the Central Museum. The station had received a notice from The Miracle Boy. He will steal it, tonight. But I’ll be right there, waiting for him. I’ll be waiting and I’ll catch him this time! Definitely!
12:58. Two more minutes and he will be there. My men are posted everywhere. But I’m the only one in the Gabrielle’s Red Ruby’s room. I want to be the one who will arrest him. Three years, it’s been three years since I wait for this moment. My hand is already on my gun, I’m ready.
Come Miracle Boy. COME!
I hear a sound of glass crashing, followed by a laugh. He’s here, but it’s so dark, I can’t see him. Damned! Where is he?! Don’t worry; I’ll just focus on the gem: when he will be near it, I’ll catch him. I can hear his footsteps, he’s coming. In the moonlight I see his silhouette. He’s tall, slim and with his cape and mask, he looks like one of these villains in these comic books. I aim at him and walk slowly.
“You’re under arrest!”
He turns his head and looks at me, before smiling. Then he waves his hand and starts to run. I will not let you go, not this time! I run after him, and I have to admit that I’m impressed by his skills, he runs as if he was flying, avoiding what’s on his way. He laughs. Always laughing, as if it was just a game. I can’t bear it! He’s near the window he had broken. No! I can’t let you escape! I have no other choice: I jump.
*****
“P…please…” He said. It was a whisper; I can hear his fear, his dismay in his voice. Wait a minute…It couldn’t be?!
This voice. I know it. And those eyes, I could recognize these eyes anywhere. My throat is dry, my heart stopped, my fingers clenches around his wrists.
“W-Why?” That’s all I can ask, because that’s all I have in my mind.
“I want to protect you Sho-chan. I know I would never fire at you. I thought…I thought that if I’m the one Sho-chan chases, you will not in danger. I thought th…”
“Stupid!” I softly cry. Yes, he’s stupid. Becoming a criminal just because he’s worried about me, just because he doesn’t want something bad happens to me. Just because…, because…
I can’t take it. I crush my mouth on his, in a desperate way, my tears running down my cheeks. I’m a fool, but I can’t help it. I love him so much, and even if his actions are the worst, I still love him. Even more, if that’s possible. I love my worst ennemy!
“Sakurai-san!!” My men are coming.
“DON’T COME!!” I scream. I don’t know what to do. I really don’t know. I’m a detective, I have to apprehend criminals. But I can’t do that to him. I’m the one responsible, right? He had done that for me. I can’t. I can’t. I can’t!!
“That’s okay, Sho-chan…” He whispers, smiling sadly. He knows that I have to do my job. That’s the only thing I' m good at. He knows it and he accepts it.
“Sakurai-san?!”
“Sho-chan, don’t worry. I’ll be fine…”
“Sakurai-san, we will help you.”
“I SAID DON’T COME!” I shouted, without even trying to hide the pain in my voice. I can’t let go of his wrist, I can’t let go of his warmth. I will miss them. His hands, his eyes, his laugh, his smile. I will miss them.
“Sho-ch…” I cut him short by kissing him. Thanks to the darkness, my men can't see us. No I really can’t let him go.
“Push me back.” I whisper against his lips as I break our kiss. He looks at me with his big eyes, and I can see he’s lost. I smile and pinch him as I free his hands from my grip. In a fragment of seconds I feel his hands against my chest, my back hits the cold floor. I saw his cape floating in the wind, as he jumped through the window. He ran away. I know he'll explain everything when I will come home.
I’m still on the floor as my men run toward me. The tears are still running down my cheeks and I can’t stop to look at the broken window. I nod when one of my men asks me if I’m alright, and I can feel a hand on my shoulder.
“Don’t cry Sakurai-san. One day or another, you will get him!”
No, I don't want to get him. Not anymore. But I will always run after him.
Until the end.

Postface (kind of):
“You have no escape! Surrender!”
“Ne…NeVER!”
In the corner of Yakihiro-san’s mansion, I managed to corner The Miracle Boy! This time I will succeed!
“Detective-san…I…You…Ah! You will never…caAAAAtch….catch me!” He screams under my touch, I can feel his hot breath on my neck, his wet lips torturing deliciously my skin. I know his limits, he's near to come, as I am.
“I love…your mak…mask, youuuu know?”
“Ah! Stop it, you pervert! Aaah!” He screams as he comes in my hand, and after a few trust I follow him. We don’t have the time to catch our breaths; I can hear my men running toward us. We parted and after one last kiss I let him go.
“Don’t come back too late Sho-chan, I’ll keep my costume!!” He whispers as he disappears in the shadows.
“Sakurai-san, are you alright?!”
“Ah…yes…Sorry, he was too…strong…I couldn’t do anything…Hum…”
“Too bad!”
“Hum…yes…hum…It’s late. Let’s come back!” I say as I run for the car.
FIN!
So? How was it? I hope you are not disappointed.If that's the case, I'm really sorry. m(__)m By the way, this is my first AU, YAAAAYYY XD
