Disclaimer: I don't own them or anything else JE-related. But the story is mine of course^^
Summary: Tokyo, 1981: A young bride disappears, leaving no trace but an old necklace out of jade. No one has seen her, no one knows who she is. The woman that never existed.
Tokyo, 2011: Jin, a talented photographer, is known for his sixth sense when it’s about photos and other person’s emotions. When he gets the offer to work with Tokyo’s Criminal Investigation Department, he moves to Tokyo, together with his 16-year-old brother.
There he starts to work together with the skilled, but eccentric young detective Kamenashi Kazuya.They are part of the department for Cold Cases, where forgotten and never solved cases are investigated again. Despite their first rather bad impression of each other, they soon learn that their skills complement each other almost perfectly.
The case they are working on seems mysterious, but harmless: Jade, the woman that had been erased from everyone's memory. But soon Jin and Kame realize that with this case they are awakening a sleeping lion, bringing themselves and everyone they love and care for into danger. They suddenly fall into a network of intrigues, murders and threats. On top of that they are both hiding something from each other and from everyone else... something no one is supposed to know...

yukitsubute. She almost begged me to post it ^_____^ So, here it is!
30 years ago.
A woman in a white wedding dress was walking down the street, her hair loosened, her make-up a mess because of the tears she had been crying. There were black strains on her cheeks because of the washed out mascara. The only memorable and sparkling thing she was wearing was a necklace out of jade. It threw green pattern on her white dress, an almost pretty contrast to her crushed appearance.
With one hand she was holding her hips as if she was in pain, with the other one she pulled a suitcase along. Her hands were shivering in the cold air, her feet trembling a bit, the bottom of her dress already getting grey because of the street’s dirt.
Where was she going to? Maybe she didn’t know it herself. Who was she? No one dared to ask. And maybe she wanted to be exactly that: A non-existent person, erased from everyone’s memory.
There were hardly any people on the street during that time of the day, but those who passed her were staring at her through wide eyes. Some of them wanted to ask, some of them were thinking of offering their help, some of them wanted to call the police… but in the end none of them did anything.
The woman just walked past them, unnoticed, though everyone saw her. But their eyes were closed, no one wanted to intervene into someone else’s business. People were easy to scare and easy to offend. And there was something so creepy and desperate about this woman, which made passengers draw back automatically, as if her bad luck would rub off on them.
The woman walked into a small park where no people were walking around at the moment. Some eyes were following her curiously, wondering when she would come back again, because the park ended in front of a high wall. The only way out was to walk the same way back again.
But she didn’t come back that day. She also didn’t come back the next day. No one saw her ever again. And when finally someone called the police, there was nothing, no trace, no sign, no footsteps, no name, no face.
As if she had never existed.
The bride no one was missing… The bride that had never been there…
Today
“This is our last chance” Jin’s eyes were gleaming furiously. “You know what I’m loosing here, don’t you?” He grabbed Kame’s shirt, desperate tears in his eyes when he was pulling the other closer. “Listen to me, Kazuya. And damn, listen well! This here is not your fault, no matter how much you believe it is. It isn’t! But it IS our LAST CHANCE! You know what will happen if we loose this game…”
Kame blinked for a moment, then his eyes got a desperate look. He clung to Jin for a moment, trying to gather his strength like that. “You are right, Jin. This is the last clue we need…” He looked at other firmly. “I know you are worried, but I promise you that I’ll give everything I have to save all of us.” He angled for his gun, charging it, while he put his other hand into his pocket, his fingers touching the jade-necklace slightly, as if he needed to feel it to be pushed over the last the edge. “Let’s go.” he mumbled. “Fast.”

Akame!!!!!!!!!! <3
Okay, okay, okay, I am calm, totally cool. What the hell is going here? Who is that woman? Why did she disappear? What happened on that day?
What are hiding Jin and Kame? Do they have a dark past? Oh my I want to know how it is going on....
And what about Ryo? has he something to do with anything? Is there something in his life too? Is there something off?
So many questions and no answer till now. I already love this story, and I am really looking forward how it goes on.
Thanks soooo much for this <3<3<3<3 *hugs* *hearts* *cookies (your mum's cookies *lol*)*

That case with the non-existent bride is intriguing as well. What happened to her?
Another thing I'm wondering about is if this will be the only case they will work on and other things related to it or if this story will continue with more cold cases, thus letting more of them be written and read, making the story even longer. Although I am extremely curious and can't wait to find out where this promising story is heading, please don't answer that. I would like it better finding out one thing after the other while reading the chapters. So, instead of answering any inquiry of mine, write new chapters and post them. (I hope I am not sounding too demanding, I wouldn't want to intimidate or offend you in any way.)

Okay as an aside, the scariest part of this for me was not the bride's disappearance or Kazuya's and Jin's desperation--no it was the fact that the flashback occurred in 1981. Quick question to the readers. How many of you reading this fic were already on the planet and enjoying life in 1981? Show of hands. Why are there so few hands raised? Damn I feel old.
I loved the mood throughout. But i just felt so bad for this woman, and no one helped her. i think that was the really unsettling part, no one would even go up to her. But how did she disappear if it was a dead end? I am sooooooo curious.
And the part with Kazuya and Jin--the tension was just tremendous, and that part wasn't even that long--but i felt the danger mounting. Just a tremendous job done with just a few lines. Really can't wait for the next. Tell Yuki thank you, for convincing you to post it.
Hugs, hearts, and jade necklaces (I actually have one. It was my Aunt's. She got married 3 times.) :D :D :D <3<3<3

I'm so sorry, 1981 I wasn't having fun yet, but a few years later, I was - and yes, still born in the 80s. ^^
I'm really glad you liked the atmosphere. I wanted to hold it as cryptic and calm as possible. Often calm scenes like that are the most mysterious, right? ^^
And you are right, no one said anything or helped. We'll come to that later ^^
I'm also happy you could feel the tension in the Akame scene - especially since it was just a short one.
Thanks so much for reading!! *hugs-and-swirls-around* <3 <3 <3 <3
