Summary: Sen's first assignment with Yagyo.

Sen's first assignment with the combat division was to capture and neutralise a vampire ayakashi that was attacking females. Sen thought it would be a piece of cake, a guy that only attacked girls could not be really strong.
So he was quite confident when the plan of the combat division was put into action – Hatori would act as a bait and walk around the park where the vampire was last seen. The rest of the combat division would inconspicuously hide in the trees and behind bushes, ready to jump into action when the vampire appeared.
However, they had already been in the park for hours, and there was no sign of the vampire. Hatori decided that the vampire probably would not appear that night, and it was time they went home. She relayed that decision to everyone's mobile phones, and Sen was really happy about that – he was already freezing.
He jumped off the tree where he had been hiding, stuffed his cold hands in his pockets and walked to the rendezvous point. Suddenly he felt a threatening presence, and heard a flapping sound. Sen whirled around and saw the vampire who was standing right in front of him, his eyes blazing red, his claws outstretched... Sen's first reflex was also to protract his claws, too bad his hands were still in his pockets – now they had stuck in the half-shredded trousers, and Sen was desperately trying to unhook his claws from the cloth.
The vampire leered at him and growled: 'Prrretty girrrl...' Then the creature sniffed the air, looked puzzled for a second and said: 'But you don't smell like a..' But Sen was so angry he yanked his hands out of his pockets, almost breaking his claws. He jumped the vampire, knocked him to the ground, and grabbed by the throat, not paying attention to the flapping wings and flailing limbs of the vampire. Sen increased the pressure on the ayakashi's neck, until his claws almost pierced the skin, and the vampire calmed down - he obviously did not want to be strangled. When the creature stopped struggling, Sen lowered his face so he was eye to eye with the vampire and hissed angrily: 'Don't ever call me girl, you got it?'
And then the rest of the division came to help, the vampire was tied so he would not escape, and Sen was called the hero of the night. Soon Mukade arrived, and they all were transported back to the headquarters. Sen even got praised by their boss for handling the situation so well. Only Hatori was rather annoyed with him – did the vampire's attack actually mean that Sen was prettier than her?
