"….." Guren stared at the unfamiliar ceiling. He had mixed feelings about his situation. On one hand, he was sure Misato's neighbours knew his name by now. He couldn't help but smile. Not only that, being intimate with someone again…. Felt awesome. On the other hand was the raging headache and Mahiru screaming in his ear. It was a mistake for him to ever set foot in this house. The smile still hadn't left his face. Mistake or not, Guren couldn't deny the happiness fluttering in his chest. He looked at the sleeping woman next to him. The black haired man carefully reached out his hand to her. A second before touching her, he stopped. His hand turned into a fist and Guren sighed.
"I made breakfast." Guren slowly opened his eyes to see Misato in her pyjamas standing in the doorway.
"W-what time is it…?" He muttered.
"10 o'clock in the morning…." She avoided his gaze. An awkward silence filled the room. "You can take a shower if you want…" Misato started. Guren had just opened his mouth to ask if she was okay. But she cut him off. He noticed the huge bedhead she had and chuckled. "I-Is something wrong?"
"Your hair. It certainly tells me I showed you every corner of the room yesterday." Misato froze. Before Guren could say anything else she bolted out of the room. The black haired detective scratched his head and smiled again.
Misato stared empty at her plate. She sat down behind her kitchen table. The brown haired woman tried to remember the what was apparently an evening full of sex. Plus, that man was still in her house. Misato buried her face in her hands and ignored a mocking Crowley wishing her a beautiful morning. Guren appeared and sat down across Misato. She could only stare at his bare chest. "What the…" Misato started.
"Don't be so awkward." Guren cut her off. "I'll be leaving after I showered. I'll pay the damn ticket."
"Okay…." She was overwhelmed by him. He raised his eyebrow.
"Are you ok?" Misato suddenly looked up, meeting his eyes. Guren's eyes widened in reply, seeing her eyes were wet.
"You confuse me!" She exclaimed. "What is it that you want with me? You hated me right? You were the guy that made me puke in a restaurant! You're a jerk! And you…. You took advantage of me!"
"….. Aha….." Guren stayed silent for a bit. "First of all, we were both drunk…" Misato bit her lip.
"Yeah you're right…. I'm sorry." Misato apologized. She wasn't thinking straight and didn't mean what she said before.
"Anyway, I'm going to take a shower. Feel free to join." He smirked at her when she blushed. "How cute."
"Shut up and clean yourself up! You smell!"
"Hahaha!"
"Why is he so confident?!" Misato said to herself as she heard Guren turn on the shower in her bathroom. "Join him?! What the hell!" Suddenly, the bell rang and Misato walked over to the front door. The person standing on the other side was someone she recognized.
"Good morning…. Misato."
"A-Aki-" Before she could finish her sentence, Misato was met with a fist right in her face.
"Don't be so friendly with me. And I'm here for a reason. Why haven't you been attending our meetings? You know you need to report to me often." The blond haired man said with a stern face. He had bright green eyes. He had a little ponytail hanging on his shoulder which he brushed behind his back. A black titanium ring shone on one of his fingers. Misato didn't seem to be surprised with the punch. She held her nose to stop the bleeding.
"I have been busy and you know that." "Hmmm… who's this?" Crowley asked Misato through her earpiece. The brown haired woman shook her head. "I appreciate you not coming to my house Mr. Sumeragi." Misato stated annoyed. "I might have guests…"
"Oh? Finally got laid?" The blond haired man snickered. "And just Akito is fine. You know I just hate it when you use my nickname." The man called Akito wore a black pants with fitting black shoes. A white v-neck shirt and a green leather jacket fitted him well.
"Had your fun? I don't have time for the Brotherhood all the time." Misato said. That was a mistake. Akito's eyes got dark.
"The Brotherhood is your top priority."
"And I said I wanted out because it became too dangerous. You knew that since I arranged it with you personally."
"Then you also know I still wanted you to do some things occasionally. You can't leave the Brotherhood Misato."
"Quiet. I have a visitor."
Guren just got out of the shower. He stayed silent for some time since he heard Misato talk. He snickered when a man asked if she finally got laid. But mentioning the Brotherhood made him weary.
"Yeah I could see you have a visitor. We see everything you do, except for the bed- and bathroom. But this is your own punishment for not showing up. Save yourself." Akito stated and turned around. "Until next time Misato. If you're smart, and I know you are, show up to our next meeting."
Crowley laughed. "I bet he doesn't know you changed sides!" Misato sighed. "What a mess…. What should I do?"
"You should take care of that running nose first." Guren had appeared behind her. Misato froze. "What happened?" He asked. Crap! What should I say? Did he hear our conversation? Damn you Akito!
"I…" Guren stared at her.
What will she say? Will she lie to me? This woman is bouncing between sides…. She can't be trusted… Guren frowned. Does the Brotherhood force her to cooperate? Probably. I heard enough of the conversation to know that. "I…. got punched in the face." Misato admitted. She averted her gaze. "Apparently, it was another person who I gave a ticket to." She…. Is lying.
"Did you see who it was?"
"Yeah but I didn't recognize him. Don't worry I'll find him." Pfff… lying so easily. She reminds me of myself. Guren still stood behind her, in just a towel. "Could you put on some clothes please."
"Why? Don't you like what you see?" Guren smirked. Behind the smirk was a saddening mood. Misato was involved with the Brotherhood. She was probably a corrupt cop. Guren wondered why she left the Hiragi Department. So that means…. She forced herself into a less important position. I get it.
"No I don't like what I see. I don't understand why you're suddenly so comfortable being naked around here."
"I just like being naked around pretty women." Misato sighed.
"Then give me that towel so I can wipe my nose."
"Eh?!" Guren didn't expect that at all. "That happy to see my junk again?" Guren asked as he handed over the towel, revealing himself. Misato covered up her nose.
"I guess." Misato replied with a deadpanned face. That person sure left an impact on her.
"Eyes up here Misato." Guren said as he covered his manhood with his hands.
"I already have a nosebleed." She jokingly replied. I could arrest her and she knows it.
I'm pretty sure he heard me. He could arrest me right now. "Where are your clothes?" Misato asked.
"I think I left them in your room."
"Well, go put them on pervert."
"I can feel you staring at my ass you know." Guren exclaimed when he walked over to Misato's room.
"Whatever." "Hahaha… What are you going to do now Misato? Cuff him to the bed and run? Need my help?" Crowley cackled in her ear. "Anyway, you need to retrieve some documents from the Police Department. So ditch the cop." "It's Sunday you prick." Misato hissed. "Yeah I have a calendar. I know what day it is. You have your orders. You'll receive further instructions on your phone. I have business to attend to, so I'll be gone for the day." And with that, the voice in her head left. Misato was alone and she needed to think.
Guren dressed himself and thought about what he could do. Technically speaking, I should arrest her. But I don't have any proof. The camera's in her home could've been security. "…." He buttoned up his pants and exited the room, only to find Misato sitting in the kitchen. She was eating. The blood on her face was gone, but the deadpanned expression was still there. I think I'll follow her for a while. Seishiro and Shinya took my case anyway.
"I need to run some errands later." Misato started.
"Yeah I'll be out in a few minutes. Unless you…." Guren smirked. The brown haired woman looked at him in disbelief. "I'm just kidding. Just text me if you're bored again." Guren was surprised he actually said that.
"You're serious about that?" Misato chuckled. "Then I'll take you up on that offer. If I'll get 'bored' I'll text you." At least now I have a legitimate excuse to be around her, making sure she doesn't do anything stupid. But the black haired man couldn't fool himself. There was another reason why he made the offer.
