Hello, I have decided to make a second one-shot of Cuticle Detective Inaba. I hope you enjoy it.

At the Inaba Detective Agency

"Kei, Yuuta, I'm back." Hiroshi announced as he walked into the office.

However, the only one in the office was a certain black haired woman, and her black cat, sleeping on one of the office couches.

'Chikane...' the detective thought when he saw his childhood friend. Being quiet as possible, he walked over to the sleeping woman. 'Falling asleep in the middle of the day, she's so careless sometimes.'

Then, Hiroshi carefully picks up Winslow, so he doesn't wake him up, and gently places him on the other couch. The feline stirred a bit before he yawned slightly and curled back up into a ball. Turning his attention back to the young woman on the other couch, the red headed young man got on his knees and stared at the sleeping woman's face.

'She just looks so peaceful.' Hiroshi thought as he raised a hand and used it to brush some of the young woman's black hair out of her face. Then, he used the back of his hand to gently caress her cheek.

Surprisingly, Chikane pushed her cheek further into the young man's hand.

"Hiroshi..." she mumbled in her sleep, a small and happy smile was on her face.

"Chikane..." Hiroshi said as he continued to stare at her. Using his other hand, the young man lifted some of his childhood friend's hair to his face. Then, he placed it in his mouth. "How long are you going to stand there and not say anything, Kei?" he asked the young assistant, who was standing in the doorway.

"Ah, sorry." Kei apologized, rubbing the back of his head. "I didn't mean to barge in on you."

"It's alright." the detective told him as he took Chikane's hair out of his mouth. "Where's Yuuta?"

"He's on his way, he said something about making a plan to get rid of Ogi-san."

Hiroshi chuckled. "That's Yuuta for you."

"You know, Inaba-san, I couldn't help but notice the way you were looking at Chikane-nee-san when I walked in." Kei remarked.

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah, you must love her a whole lot."

The red headed young man smiled as he kept his gaze on the young woman. "Yeah, I really do, ever since the day we first met."

'That's right.' Kei thought. 'Inaba-san and Chikane-nee-san have known each other since they were six years old.' "I'm sure Chikane-nee-san feels the same way about you, too, Inaba-san. But, she's too stubborn to admit it."

"Well, Chikane is a tsundere." Hiroshi remarked.

"However, don't you ever worry?" the assistant asked.

"About what?"

"That she might fall in love with someone else one day or something?"

Hiroshi said nothing as he continued to stare at his childhood friend.

"I'm sorry." Kei quickly apologized. "I didn't mean to make you upset, I was just wondering."

"No, it's okay." the detective told him. "To be honest, I've asked myself that very question. And, I figured it's Chikane's decision on who she wants to be with, I have no say in her love life."

'Wow.' the black haired assistant thought, surprised by his boss's response. 'That was surprisingly mature of Inaba-san.'

"However..." Hiroshi said. He looked at the assistant and Kei immediately noticed the somewhat evil smirk on his face. That somewhat evil smirk caused the sixteen year old to stiffen. "There's not a chance in hell that I'll let her leave me for someone else." with the smirk still on his face, the detective returned his gaze to Chikane. Then, he used his hand to gently stroke her head. "Even though I'm being completely selfish, Chikane belongs to me and no one else. There's no way I'll ever let someone take her away from me."

Kei just stood and trembled a bit, completely scared of the evil aura that seemed to surround his boss. He also could have sworn he heard a low growl, almost sounding like a purr, emitting from the young man.

"Hey, Kei." Hiroshi said. "Why don't you take the rest of the day off? And if you see Yuuta, tell him the he can leave early, too. I want be alone with Chikane when she wakes up."

"S-Sure, no p-problem." the assistant stammered.

Not saying anything else, Kei turned around and walked out of the office and closed the door behind him.

"Kei-kun." Yuuta called out when he appeared out of nowhere. "I'm back. What are you doing outside?"

"Yuuta-kun..." Kei said as he grabbed the other assistant's shoulders, a look of fear on his face. "Just a moment ago, I saw Inaba-san's evil side."

Of course you did. Everyone knows that wolves are very possessive of their mates.
