These are all one-shots (except LOST and FOUND) of silly situations our fave scalpel-wielding hakobiya should've been in in the actual series, but wasn't. Enjoy!

"So, what will your costume for the party be?" Natsumi asked of the black-clad transporter.

Akabane had a sip of his tea before answering. "I feel a cat would be a wise choice."

That comment not only earned numerous stares aimed directly at the man, but also Ban spitting out his sandwich. "What the hell?! A cat?!" Ban demanded.

Natsumi clapped her hands together. "That sounds so cute, Akabane-san!"

"But, why a cat?" Himiko asked.

Akabane smiled. "I do have my own retractable claws, don't I?" As if to prove his point, he summoned four scalpels from his left hand, only to retract them a second later.

The mental image of Akabane dressed in an adorable cat costume did nothing to ease Ginji's nerves.

Himiko placed a finger to her jaw thoughtfully. "You know, that actually works for you."
