[Hello! I'm StrangeGerbil. To cut to the chase, this is an AU, a romance-action(-drama-mystery) story and the main characters are FemTsuna and Gokudera! I think all the GokuderaxFemTsuna shippers out there will enjoy this story. There's also subtle hints of other pairings. Some information is wrong and made up because I'm trying to get it to fit with this unprofessional story plot, so if you are a detective or a police officer, I am sorry I offended you!)

The fluffy, brown haired girl sighed as she sat down on the redwood bench just outside of the tall building she had just exited. She looked down at the certificate in her hand.

Can you really just slap a rank onto somebody and tell them they're somebody now? The young girl had just finished her three-years study of Law Enforcement and now she really didn't know what to do. She supposed she had completely forgotten about what it would be like to actually pass the final exam. She was so busy trying to study!

"I guess I can go home..." The brownie haired girl whispered to herself. She stood up and stuffed the certificate into her jean's pocket. Then she grabbed her bag, slipped it over her shoulder, and continued down the old sidewalk. She started to hum a little tune to herself, thoroughly enjoying the peace of now being able to achieve her dream.

She had of course been studying to be a nurse, but somehow she ended up studying and taking classes for Law Enforcement, not that she minded much. Now she could get a job and support her mother and younger siblings! Her father was never really around because of his work overseas. And her older brother... he was just her older brother.

He left home when he turned twelve, and now he's supposedly living in another town. She can remember his kind smile, his dazzling blue eyes, and his spiky but silky blonde hair. But she can't remember the time they spent together, she was so young. They're about six years apart. She still wonders what made her big brother leave his safe and comfortable home.

Tsuna shakes her head, now is not the time to feel bad for him. He left on his own accord... but still...

As Tsuna continues her path to her house she can hear ambulance sirens from behind her. Just as she turns her head towards the noise, two ambulances fly right past her. Her eyes widen a bit.

Namimori is such a safe and peaceful town, we haven't heard ambulances in well over two years. Maybe it was just an Elder-Related accident. Somebody has fallen and they can't get up. Yeah, that's it.

Even after trying to convince herself that was the answer, she still had a nagging feeling. It was like a gift, when something felt amiss to her, she would have a feeling about it. This felt... strange.

Something is going to change. Tsuna frowns a bit.

A taxi then drove by, hitting some leftover water, splashing it all over Tsuna.

"HIE!"

"Gokudera, stop threatening to shoot the suspect!" Barked a superior police officer. "Tch. I'm the one who chased him down and actually caught him." Said a silver haired man as he placed his gun back in its holster.

"I'm innocent I swear! All I did was arrive at the scene, I didn't kill her!" Shouted a grungy looking man who was tied to a chair in the middle of a small office filled with police officers, ranked from Beginner to Superior.

The silver haired man continued to scowl at the suspect even after he had been told not to. Apparently if you scare a suspect(?) they feel less likely to share info.

"I say we just throw him in the slammer." Commented Gokudera Hayato as he continued scowling.

A beginner had tried to communicate with Hayato but the man growled at him and said beginner backed off.

"Gokudera! Follow me, right now." Said his superior. "Fine." Sighed Hayato.

Having followed his superior to his office Hayato was now being lectured.

"You do know why you don't have a partner, right?" The superior (let's call him Bob) asked.

"Yes, because they'll only slow me down." Replied Hayato. Bob pinched the sides of his nose. Then he sighed.

"You have a whole week to find a partner. Or you will be sent back to the college. Hopefully someone will learn to ignore your asshole attitude." Said Bob.

Hayato's eyes widened. He worked so hard to become a middle ranking officer, to be sent back to the college a would be a total waste of five years of his life. And he was not an asshole! He just didn't like working with idiots. It was kind of hard when he was surrounded by them.

"Where do you expect me to find a partner, all the officers here can't be my partners because of their low ranks! The only people qualified would be those who studied law enforcement for three years, everyone is just from the academy." Hayato was not very happy.

"Well find somebody." And with that Hayato was kicked out of the office, his almost permanent scowl planted on his handsome face. His jade green eyes narrowed.

I need to find a partner or I'm screwed. Dammit, where do I find a smart and not annoying one?

Tsuna had finally arrived home after thirty minutes of walking. Her muddy clothes had finally dried and as she walked up the steps to her house her front door was thrown open.

"TSU-CHI!" Shouted a little cow- whoops, I mean a boy dressed like a cow. He threw himself at the girl and then begged for candy and a kiss.

Before Tsuna could repsond, two other kids ran out the door and tackled her, causing her to slide (fall) down the stairs.

The kids were fine, but Tsuna probably had developed a small concussion.

"I-Pin, Lambo, Fuuta, what are you guys doing?" Tsuna asked as she giggled. The little kids looked up to her with sparkly eyes.

"I-Pin has been waiting for Tsuna to come home." The little tail-headed girl said. Tsuna smiled at the five-year old.

"Tsuna-nii! It's been so long!" Said the oldest boy with light brown hair and a scarf. Tsuna then got up and ruffled the young boy's hair.

"I've missed you all very much, hey about later we go to the park? How does that sound?" The kids shouted with joy.

"Tsu-chan?" A soothing voice called from the front door. "Mother!" Yelled Tsuna who was smiling so brightly.

With the kids right behind her Tsuna ran to her mom and basically glomped her. The group was smiling so cheerfully that sparkles flew around them. And flowers, pretty pink flowers.

"Let's go in and have some tea, Tsu-chan. We need to catch up. Come along kids, I'll make cookies." Tsuna's mother, Nana said.

"Yay cookies!"
