Authors Note: Okay first off, I'm going to tell you what the timeline for this is. It's in between the Rikako Oryo case and when they first capture Makishima. If you follow up on the anime, you know that(Spoiler Alert) Akane's grandmother can't move. This story is before that. Ok anyways Psycho-Pass is one of my favorites and there aren't many stories about it. They one that is there is awesome though. So this is going to be my Halloween special and Eternity will continue in November. Anyways, hope you enjoy.

Akane
What movies do you want to watch tomorrow Akane?" said her grandmother from the phone. Her grandmother wanted everything to be planned out for tomorrow. Tomorrow was Halloween, which meant they were going to watch horror movies together. They were the old horror movies, from 2014. They were the best in her opinion, but they were extremely hard to get. Her grandmother and she has been watching these movies on Halloween ever since she could remember. It was a tradition.
"It doesn't matter, you can choose. I have to go now, I'm at the MWPSB." she replied, trying to get her grandmother off the phone so she could go to work.
"Okay I'll see you tomorrow at noon." Her grandmother said. After Akane hung up, she walked into the MWPSB. She hoped it wasn't going to be a busy day. It was the day before Halloween, so there might be some trouble makers around.
When she walked into the office, she say that everyone was already there. Kogami looked like he was in a bad mood already, which meant that there was a case. "Inspector Tsunemori we are going out. There is a building a by main street with screams coming out of it. It has been rising the area's stress level, so we have to go check it out." Ginoza said walking past her towards the door. "Let's take care of this quickly, so I can go home."
At the building.
Kogami
Kogami grabbed his dominator. It did its startup screen, which he usually ignored. There wasn't really a point because he had used a dominator so many times. Akane had already grabbed her dominator and was looking at the building. "Is it just me," she began. "Or does that building look like one of those old haunted houses?"
"I think that's what it's supposed to be." Kagari said. "This is going to be fun. A haunted house. I've never been in one before. How exciting."
"It is, isn't it?" Akane said. "I was in one once, when I was a kid. There pretty fun." She was excited too. He guessed that Halloween was one of her favorite holidays, even though it's a lot stricter now. He suddenly felt jealous that Kagari had yet another thing in common with Akane. He pushed the feeling away, though, thinking it was just nonsense.
"Don't get distracted." Yayoi said.
"Yeah we can't have you two slowing us down." Ginoza added.
"Give them a break Gino," Masaoka said. "It's a rare thing to go into haunted houses these days, let them enjoy it a little bit."
Annoyed with this pointless argument, Kogami started to go in. Everyone immediately started to follow him, Akane catching up first. They were walking at a slow pace taking in their surroundings. Something then popped out in front of Akane, so he quickly pulled her behind him and pointed his dominator at it. "Kogami, that's only a fake spider." Akane said, stepping out from behind him. "It is a haunted house, so there will be things jumping out, but thanks for the concern."
They continued on after that. There was a few more jump scares but they weren't too bad. "How disappointing," Kagari said. "This haunted house kind of sucks." After Kagari finished complaining, they came across six doors.
Akane
"Should we split up our stay together?" Akane asked, looking at the six doors. There was one for each of them, but was splitting up really a good idea?
"I think we should split up." Kogami began. "There's no way of knowing which doors the right door, so this is the fastest way to find the culprit."
"Fine, everyone pick a door." Ginoza said. She picked the one closest to the wall. Kogami chose his door next to hers. "Call when you find the culprit." Ginoza then opened the door and left.
Everyone else did the same, but Kogami. "Be careful." he said to her before he went through his door. Now it was her turn. She opened the door and stepped inside. Inside was an alley way. She was about to go back and try to catch up with Kogami, when she heard a scream. She ran down the alley way to see a man bent over another person. When the man stood she saw it was Kogami.
"Kogami?! What are you doing?!" she yelled.
Kogami looked up in surprise. It was only for a second though. He quickly grabbed the person on the ground. "Go back inside Akane. Pretend you never saw me. I don't want you to get hurt." he said.
"Not until you tell me what you're doing." she replied.
"I'm going to kill him." Kogami said gesturing to the man he was holding up. "Then I'm going to leave. You have three choices. One, shoot me. Two, go back the way you came. Or three, come with me. Choose quickly."
She pointed the dominator at him. His crime coefficient was over three hundred. If she shot him, then he would die. "Kogami stop this. I don't want to shoot you." she said.
"I'm not going to stop." Kogami said. He wasn't going to stop. That meant she had to shoot. She pulled the trigger. The next thing she knew she was on her knees, looking at Kogami's body. It wasn't a body though. The whole thing was metal. This was a fake. This was just part of the haunted house. Suddenly a door appeared. She went thought the door, further into the haunted house.
Kogami
Kogami walked into the room. As soon as he was in it the scent hit him. It was blood. He walked further into the room. "Kogami!" he heard Akane scream. He started to run. How did she get here? This wasn't the way she was supposed to go.
Then he saw her. There was a person over her with a knife. She had already been cut and was bleeding. There was blood everywhere. She was crying silent tears. He was about to run to her aid, but he couldn't move. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't move. Then the man stabbed her in her stomach, and with one finally scream, Akane died.
He could finally move. He knocked the man in the head. He dropped down to Akane. He had let her die. He didn't help her, he just let her die. He reached for her hand and when he grabbed it, he felt metal. Metal? This wasn't Akane. This was a fake. When he looked up he saw a door. He got up then, to find the real Akane.
Akane
Akane walked out of the door way and looked around. Her eyes soon met Kogami's. She was hesitant though. He could be another fake. It looked like he was doing the same thing. They both just looked at each other until she said, "Are you the real Kogami or are you another fake? Actually that question is kind of stupid. If you were a fake you would answer 'I'm the real one' so how am I going to tell if you're a fake or not."
"Why do you have to complicate everything?" Kogami said. He walked over to her and held out his arm. "If you feel my arm you will be able to tell that I'm not a robot." She felt his arm and she knew then that it was flesh and he was a human. She held out her arm so Kogami did the same. After he was done, before she knew what she was doing, she threw herself into his arms.
His arms tightened around her. "What did you see?" she asked.
"Someone killed you." he replied. "How 'bout you?"
"I had to kill you." she said, freeing herself from his arms. "Do you think the others are okay?"
"No, but we have to keep going." Kogami said. He started to walk forward with her trailing close behind him.
"Well look at that. You made it Akane." said a threating male voice. "You weren't supposed to make it Kogami. That was supposed to trap the five of you, so I could get Akane."
"Why do you want Akane?" Kogami asked.
"You see I knew you would have made it because of those movies you watch. I've been watching you for a while now." the voice continued, pretending that Kogami hadn't spoken.
"What's your name?" Akane asked.
"Daisuke." Daisuke said.
"Just Daisuke?" she asked.
"Yes. I would love to chat some more, but your team is coming. I'll see you tomorrow, my dearest." With that Daisuke left, without showing his face.
Looking at Kogami, he looked more pissed than usual. "Let's go back. We have to talk about it with our team."
Back at the MWPSB
Kogami
"What are we going to do about Akane?" Kogami asked. They had just gotten back to the MWPSB and they were discussing about the culprit, Daisuke.
"She'll be here anyways, so why does it matter." Ginoza replied.
"I won't actually. I'll be at my grandmother's house watching horror movies with her." Akane interjected.
"Horror movies with grandma. Sounds interesting." Kagari said.
"Those will cloud your psycho-pass." Yayoi said. "You don't want to end up like us, do you?"
"Akane postpone. You can do it another weekend." Ginoza said. "We need you here to catch Daisuke."
"I can't do it another weekend. Tomorrow is Halloween, which only comes once a year. Plus I am not saying no to my grandmother. I'm terrified at the thought of it." Akane stated.
"Gino, if Akane stays here the culprit won't attack, he's smarter than that. I think she should go to her grandmother's and have one of us with her." Masaoka said.
"Fine, who wants to go?" Ginoza said, clearly annoyed.
"I'll go if no one else wants to." Kagari said.
"No, I'll go. I'm better at hand to hand combat than you." Kogami said. He didn't want Kagari with Akane. Especially if it was an overnight thing. Maybe his thinking about it a little too much, but it was better safe than sorry.
"Any objections Akane?" Ginoza asked.
"Its fine, I guess." Akane said.
"Okay then, Kogami go home with Akane tonight. Check back here in the morning before you two leave." Ginoza said.
Akane nodded and Kogami went to get his stuff.
Well. That was interesting. Next chapter will be next week so see you then!
