Note: I have had the idea for this story ever since I saw the Police Kotori Minami and Thief/Criminal Eli Ayase UR cards (if you do not know or have not seen the cards in which I am talking about, you could always Google it!). I'm sure others have had the idea of a police officer Kotori and thief/criminal Eli, but this an original plot that I had come up with, so, if there are any other stories based off of these UR cards—this is an original idea based off of the cards, as I'm sure the other stories are based off of as well! One of my friends has had family members who are retired police officers, so I have been using them as a reference. But, this story is not 100% accurate so please excuse these inaccuracies and try to enjoy the story! I will incorporate the Aqours girls along with the μ's, and some characters may be portrayed in a way you will not like, so if you do not like your best girls not being the heroine then please do not read.

Okay, I'm done with the briefing! I hope you enjoy this story!

First Wing

Black ink furiously spread on a white page, words flowing from the supple ballpoint pen in a timely manner. Stacks of paper were beside the writing girl, ready to be written on. A soft sigh escaped thin pink lips as she set her pen down besides the paper, arms stretching above her head. Running a hand through her hair, amber irises peering down at the items on the desk in front of her: two stacks of finished and unfinished police reports, a badge, a slice of half-eaten cheese cake, and a name plaque that read: Detective Kotori Minami. Kotori didn't have much, and didn't really do much either; she was a detective, yet rarely was able to do things that detectives on TV shows got to do. Kotori was stuck in a boring desk job with the unused title of 'Detective.' Shaking her head, the khaki haired girl reached for her trusty pen, but was rudely interrupted by the slamming of a hand on her desk.

"—?!" Officer Minami scooted back, dropping her pen wish a small gasp. Glancing up, a pair of amber irises met hers, startling the girl more. Eyes focusing on who was before her, Kotori realized it was her navy-haired partner: Detective Umi Sonoda.

"Chief wants us together today." Umi spat, seemingly angry that she had to be involved with her partner. Gulping, Kotori nodded, too nervous to speak to her more straight forward and abrasive partner in crime. "She wants us to be more… cooperative. She wants us to go out on a case—together and solve it. Did you complain or something?" The navy-haired cop seemingly interrogated her partner, amber eyes narrowing at the other.

"N-no!" Kotori shook her head and waved her hands, causing her partner to cross her arms as her icy stare continued to pierce into the khaki-haired girl. "W…what case is it, Sonoda-san?" She spoke cautiously, straightening her posture in her seat.

"Drugs, murder, burglary, identity theft—everything. But now it's more important because two cops investigating are now missing; You Watanabe and Sakurachi Riko." Umi spoke indifferently, turning her head away from the other. "The stuff I usually handle." The woman specified, refusing to look at her partner.

The other's eyes widened, a cold sweat beginning to form on her forehead. Drugs? Burglary? Murder? Watanabe and Sakurachi, missing? She was not used to the action of her profession; Umi would always act and leave the paperwork and repercussions for Kotori—which she was perfectly content with. Kotori liked her little desk job, she was well aware she was not qualified for the action Umi would face.

"Chief Kousaka wants… me? But you are always—"

"I know it's always me, Minami; but if Kousaka wants the two of us, then the two of us she will get." Umi spoke coldly, slightly turning her head slightly to make minimal eye contact with the other. "You'd better get yourself into shape; this isn't a case for some weak-willed pansy." Kotori nodded slightly, nervously scratching the back of her head.

"What are the… details…?" Minami spoke shakily, standing up out of her seat.

"There's a gang that's been brewing for a while called the Cherep's. Watanabe and Sakurachi were on it, but they disappeared; now it's been assigned to us to find them and shut down this gang." Umi spoke bluntly, turning on her heels to face her partner. "We've got a suspected member of this gang in interrogation; we've got to go, now." Turning again, Sonoda began to walk off to the interrogation room and leaving Minami alone.

Kotori gulped, standing alone as she watched her fellow detective walk off nobly. Amber irises looked down to the ground, head hanging in a pre-determined defeat. She could not do this. This was a case of the toughest guys out there—not for a weak-willed girl that's been working a desk jobs all of her life. Glancing around, the small female noticed all of her fellow officers around her. She couldn't let them go take her place and risk going missing like You and Riko did. Shaking her head, Kotori nervously began to walk off, trailing behind her partner. She needed to find them, even if she was not ready.

Note: Whew, this chapter took a lot. Most times the first chapter is always the hardest since it begins the story! I hope you all like this, all 18 girls from both Love Live and Love Live Sunshine will make an appearance! I want this to be a coming of age story for Kotori, and even Umi! There is romance in this, which will mainly be KotoUmi, NozoEli, and DiaMari. I hope this mystery flows smoothly—and that everyone enjoys! See you in chapter 2~!
