"Lady Mei, the car is waiting" the butler standing at the study door said.
"Thank you, Ken. I'll be there in a minute" replied an elegant looking lady sitting in the dark study. Her red eyes glowed in the dark room. Ken bows and vanishes.
Mei walks to the van. Ken is waiting for her at the door. "The invitation is on the tray" he said as she steps into the van. "I'll look at it."
The van pulls out of the drive way and zooms through the streets.
Mei opens the invitation and reads it again and again as of going the words written there would change.
*YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE WEDDING OF
SASAKI IBARASHI AND MEI TAKAMURA
ON 4TH OF JULY AT XXX HALL
PLEASE DO VISIT TO SHOWER YOUR WELL-WISHES TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM*
Mei sighed. She turned back to see the wedding gown hanging outside its cover in the van. She turned back learning ohh the widow to look at the starry night sky slowly fading into daylight. This means there is less than a day to her wedding.
She wondered how did she send up in this situation. If only she had not accepted the case. Sasaki Ibarashi. 'The' profiler in the entire city of Tokyo. His works are very famous as he is the only profiler who accepted cases which were involved with non human entities. There are other profiles in Tokyo, but they are a biased or don't want to itch any trouble with other entities.
Sasaki, was capable to continue his works as he was a pure blood vampire, from a family who have been feared for several generations. No one cared to mess with the Ibarashis. He is considered to be a husband material by all single ladies in Tokyo.
And how did Mei send up being his bride? It all happened 2 weeks ago. Mei, a first responder, reported to a 112 call from a cleaner saying they saw a body in a dumpster. Securing the scene Mei started to look around for clues. This was the 6th victim of a serial crime where the criminal would over kill their victims. Over kill is when the victim is subjected to extreme torture before they lose their life.
Each victim was found at different locations but all of them were found in dumpsters. There was a wierd claw like mark near the dumpster on the ground but it was unknown to what animal or being it belonged to. The victim death time was ruled to be just few hours prior to the finding of the bodies.
With the number of victims increasing and the public becoming unsettled wanting answers, the PD requested Sasaki to step in as several other profilers and the investigating officers were at loss on how to continue. Sasaki arrived at the scene and the aura around him said ' Don't you dare mess with me ' and ' I'm all business '.
"I would like to talk to all the first responding officers of all the victims" he said after meeting the Chief.
"Definately, I'll have them assembled right now. Why don't you talk to Officer Takamura by then? She has responded to 3 of the cases tull now."
"Hm"
Mei was scanning the bushes for any clues when she felt a presence behind her. She turned and saw a pair of legs close to her and stood up. Seeing the owner of the legs she was taken aback in literal sense as she realised she was falling back into the bushes as he was too close to her.
Sasaki caught her and steadied her.
"I'm Sasaki Ibarashi, and I was told I would find the responding officer Takamura here."
"Thank you sir. And that would be me."
Sasaki gave her the typical look Mei got when they found that she was the one they were looking for. "Thanks dad" she thought in her mind and smiled at Sasaki.
"You're a-"
"-Girl" (Mei) "-Pure blood" (Sasaki) they both said at the same time.
Mei looked shocked. No one knew she was a pure blood. How did he know?
