A/N: Hi everyone, how were your Christmas's?? I know it's not the new year yet, but I have a new project that has been floating around my head space for a while, so I got a prologue down on Word, finally :)
Anyway, I plan to continue this in the new year, as well as all the others.
Hope you enjoy!
The Law According to Kuran Kaname
Written by law-chan23
Kiriyuu Zero couldn't believe his ears. A murderer? He wasn't a murderer! He was just the 'guy who gave life to customers in the morning' – the coffee guy! He was just barely able to pay his rent every week, even with his three jobs, so what in the hell made those police officers think that he could even be capable – let alone available – to commit a series of murders! He didn't even have the time to scratch his bum if he wanted to. Which he didn't.
This had to be some kind of mistake… or worse, a prank. By god, he'd kill those asshole friends of his if he had time. Okay, so perhaps 'kill' wasn't a good word to use at that moment…
"Hey, are you listening, kid?"
Zero looked up from his mental chat to himself and glared death at the detective who was interrogating him. "What?"
The bald, overweight, suit clad man frowned at the boy. "Did you or did you not kill those three victims we've been talkin' about for over four hours?"
Zero didn't bat an eyelash. "No."
The man – who Zero had happily nicknamed him 'Baldy' – smiled. "Oh yeah? So then, why did we find the murder weapon at your home?"
Zero stared at Baldy with a stunned expression. Of his stupidity. "Your 'murder weapon' was a fork, who the flip doesn't have ay least one fork in their house?!"
Baldy didn't seem amused. Poor fat Baldy…. "Then, how comes we found ya' finga' prints on the scene, huh?"
Zero leaned back in the chair and folded his arms securely over his chest. "That would be because I take the train every day to work, as do many other people. I'm guessing you investigated them as well, right? God, who promoted you?"
Baldy slammed his fists on the steel table. "Don't play smart with me!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, is it too much for you?" Zero glared at the man again.
A voice over the loud speaker echoed through the room suddenly. "Detective, commissioner wants to see you. Now."
Baldy huffed. "I'll be back – I haven't finished with you yet, scum."
Zero watched, his eye twitching every so often at Baldy who soon disappeared out of the room. That complete and utter moron. If people like himself were controlling the investigation… oh jeez, Zero didn't even want to know.

"You freaking moron!"
The detective cringed. "Sorry sir, it won't happen again."
"Damn straight it won't, you idiot. You're fired!" the commissioner shouted, pointing the detective towards the exit. What kind of bogus investigation had this guy initiated? Now he had to clean up the mess. "You're an embarrassment to your own kind."
"But sir," a tall woman in police uniform interjected, "who will lead the investigation now?"
The detective hesitated by the door; hoping there was the tiniest chance –
"I'll get a new guy."

Zero groaned in frustration as he threw his messenger bag onto the couch and followed it, collapsing onto the plush material. It had truly, been an awful day, being held up at the police station by that goddamned Baldy for something he didn't even do… he closed his eyes wearily, even with the weight on his mind that he had to go to work at the coffee shop in little over an hour.

A brunette man logged onto his computer, he had a lot of work to do that night and he couldn't hold it off for much longer.
I know Kaname doesn't show up here, but this is only the prologue! I promise he'll show up soon.
Have a good New Year!
