Hello, everyone. I'm sorry for the late update, I've been so busy with trying to get my other stories updated. Anyway, here is the chapter, I hope you enjoy it. Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing in this.
Chikane's outfit for the chapter:
Chikane wears the outfit she wore in the fourth chapter. A long sleeved red button-up shirt, a pair of black jeans, and a pair of black leather, knee-length boots. She also wears a red headband.
Chapter 21: The Inaba Breakout Case
With you guys here, it's bound to happen. A country without false charges suspicions.
'The passionate police officer Joji proclaims his ideals with a serious face.' Soumei thought as he looked up at the building of the Police Headquarters. 'I absolutely despised that about you.' then, he turned around and left.
At The Valentino Family home
"If you wish to shoot the general, shoot the horse..." Lorenzo said as he hit a small drum that was on his shoulder.
"This is the meeting to plan the assassination of the invincible cop, it is." Don, who was wearing red paint on his face, announced to everyone in the room. A white board was behind him. "To get to the wolf, first we must kill the cop, we must. Think of a way the cop might die, we will."
Natsuki and Yukie stared at the goat with dumbfounded expressions. As for Yataro, he just had his usual black expressions. Then Don had a not dumbfounded expression.
"You fools!" he yelled at the girls, an irritation mark throbbing on his head.
"We're sorry!" Natsuki and Yukie apologized in unison as they hid behind the dark blue haired boy.
"So the three of you haven't fought Ogi-san head-on yet." Haraku remarked.
"You've known him for a while, haven't you, Weakling?" Noah asked.
"Do you have any useful information?" Alice asked.
"A younger brother usually only had interest in his older brother and sister." the white haired boy replied.
"In what world is that usual?" Saeko asked, sweatdropping.
"Says the ninja with a cousin complex." Gabriella commented.
"Moko." Soumei spoke up from the weakling's shoulder.
Haruaka looked at him, then at the others. "Speak of the devil. Apparently, Ogi-san is here."
"What?!" Don exclaimed in shock. "We must retreat! It's a police raid, it is!"
"Zero, let's scram!" Saeko to her dog as she picked up her two cousins and held them under her arms.
The white puppy barked as he jumped on his mistress's shoulder. The purple haired ninja quickly left the room.
"We can walk, you know?!" Noah and Alice exclaimed in unison.
Just when Natsuki and Yukie were about to leave, they both felt a hand on their shoulders.
"Yes?" they said as they turned around.
They both saw a wide grinning Yataro. An irritation mark appeared on both of their heads.
"What are you doing, Soumei-san?!" Yukie asked.
"This is no time to mess around!" Natsuki said seriously as she slid the door open and tried to pushed him out.
"Let's go already." Haraku said.
"You guys go ahead." Soumei told them. "I'll take care of the cop."
"Do you plan on killing Yataro?!" the black haired girl exclaimed, completely worried for her childhood friend.
"Can you do it?" Haruka asked as he was about to walk out. "Well, whatever." then he turned around and smiled innocently at the dark blue haired boy. "Do your best. I'l pray for your safety."
"Lair." Soumei said as he glared at his son, holding his nose.
Awhile later, Ogi entered the room with other police officers.
"It's like an empty shell." one of the officers remarked.
"Looks like they ran off." the black haired inspector observed. "They could be hiding somewhere." he looked around a bit until he saw a sixteen year old boy.
"Mmwah!" Soumei blew a kiss towards the inspector.
"There's one!" Ogi shouted as the dark blue haired boy ran away very quickly. "Come on, Kenmochi!"
"Inspector!" Kenmochi called out when he saw the inspector chase after the culprit.
"Damn! He's super fast!" Soumei cursed when he noticed that Ogi had quickly caught up with him.
"Hold it!" the black haired man said as he grabbed the sixteen year old's arm.
BANG
Soumei shot Ogi with his gun.
"Be mindful of how you handle this." the dark blue haired boy smirked. "This is my vessel."
"Ow..." the inspector groaned quietly as he held his side, the bullet that was shot at him was on the ground.
"No fair!" Soumei yelled angrily. "You're totally cheating with that body of yours!"
"I'm going to handcuff you now, so hold still." Ogi said as he grabbed the teen's arm again.
Then Soumei froze when a familiar smell reached his nose. He pulled away from the taller man.
"Maybe I'm imaging it, but I smell something very nostalgic." he said. He looked at the inspector with a scary grin. "Mind if I get a better whiff?"
"As long as I can handcuff you." Ogi replied, holding up a pair of handcuffs.
A little bit later, a handcuffed Soumei was sniffing the inspector's suit.
"You're late, Kenmochi." Ogi said to his partner when he arrived.
"I came as fast as I could, but I have no idea what's going on." the officer remarked, very confused to why the inspector was being sniffed.
"What's the meaning of this, Inspector Ogino?" Soumei asked. He grabbed the collar of the taller man's shirt. "Why do I smell the scent of Joji on you?"
"What are you talking about?" Ogi asked, confused, as he placed his hand on dark blue haired boy's.
"Don't play dumb!" Soumei yelled as he pushed away from the inspector. He was grabbed by Kenmochi. "I'm talking about the stupid policeman who blew a hole in his own head thirty years ago, Joji Kaoru. You know him, don't you?"
"That's the name of my grandfather." Ogi said.
The sixteen year old's eyes widened in shock. "What?" then, he smirked. "What the hell? What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you a cop?!"
"I'll hear what you have to say at the station." the black haired inspector remarked. He placed his hand on Soumei's shoulder. "Can you walk?"
"I guess stupidity runs in the family." Soumei commented.
Suddenly, the black wolf spirit came out of the dark blue haired boy and went into the inspector. Yataro's eyes widened when he saw that he was handcuffed.
"Totally scored the ultimate body!" Soumei laughed as he patted his vessel's head. "It sure feels different seeing you small, Yata."
"Inspector?" Kenmochi spoke up, feeling confused again.
The next thing that happened was that a gun was pointed at the officer's head.
"Give my regards to Hiroshi." Soumei said, grinning widely.
BANG
At a convenience store
"Man, that was scary." Soumei remarked. "The gun had no effect at all."
"Apparently, poisoning him is the only way to kill him." Yataro remarked.
"Poison, huh? Lend me your phone."
The dark blue haired boy did so. Soumei dialed a number and held the phone to his ear. It rang a few times before someone answered it.
"What in the world are you doing?!" Natsuki yelled angrily from the other line. Soumei held the phone away from his ear because of her loud shouting.
"Hurry up and get home!" Yukie's voice was also heard from the phone. "Do you know how worried we were?!"
"Take better care of Yata!" the black haired girl demanded.
"We're gonna kill the cop, so get the poison ready." Soumei told them as he picked up a pair of scissors.
At the apartment of NORA
"I'll figure out someplace to dispose of the body." the charismatic boss said from the other line. "I'll cal you when I decide on one, so bring it there. I have to drink it, so make it a painless one."
"So he says." Yukie said to Haruka, who was sitting on his bed, reading a book.
"Got it!" the white haired weakling replied, smiling widely.
Back at the convenience store
"Then we'll head over to Noah-san, Alice-chan, and Saeko-san's place." Natsuki said from the other end. "If you make Yata cry, I'll headbutt you."
Yataro facepalmed when he heard that.
"Sure thing." Soumei said before he ended the call.
"I'm terribly sorry." the dark blue haired boy apologized as he bowed slightly.
"Don't sweat it." his boss told him. "That's what makes Nacchan cute. If Nacchan and Yukie-chan both ended like the rest of you as well, it'd be lonely. Relax, relax."
Then the sound of a cellphone ringing was heard. Reaching inside one of the pockets of the suit, Soumei pulled out Ogi's phone.
"Yes?" he said after he answered the call.
"Hey, Ogi." a female, and very familiar, voice said from the phone.
"Chikane-chan?" Soumei said in surprise.
"Eh? Since when did you start adding 'chan' at the end of my name?" Chikane asked. "Oh well, that's not important. How are you, big bro?"
"Big bro?"
Giggling was heard from the other end. "Did you hit your head or something?" the black haired woman joked. "You act like you've forgotten I'm your little sister."
'What?!' Soumei thought, completely shocked. 'The beautiful, and angelic, Chikane-chan is this guy's little sister?! Aside from their hair and eyes, they look absolutely nothing alike! If Chikane-chan is the cop's sister, then that means she's also Joji's granddaughter. I guess I never noticed his smell on her because she's covered in Hiroshi's scent.'
"Ogi, are you still there?" Chikane asked from the phone.
"Yeah, I'm here, sis." Soumei replied. "Is there a reason you called?"
"Well, to be honest, my spiritual powers have been pretty excited this morning, almost like something big is going to happen."
"Oh, is that so?" the charismatic boss smirked.
"Yeah, so I just wanted to warn you and make sure you're okay." Chikane said, sounding concerned.
"Don't worry your pretty little head, little sis. I'm completely fine."
"Really?" a sigh of relief was heard. "That's good to hear. Listen, I have to go now, but, I'll talk to you later, kay?"
"Sure thing. Bye, little sis." Soumei said as he ended the call. Chuckling, he ran his hand through his hair. "To think that Chikane-chan was the cop's little sister, and Joji's granddaughter. Such a plot twist."
At the Inaba Detective Agency
"What do you mean, Ogi's disappeared?" Hiroshi and Chikane asked the police officers who arrived at the agency.
Kei and Winslow gasped as they looked over at Yuuta.
"Why are you both looking at me?" the cross-dresser asked, smiling innocently.
"He can't be missing." Chikane said to the police. "I just talked to him, like ten minutes ago."
"We'd like to get to the bottom of it, as well." one of the officers said. "That's why we're here. Officer Kenmochi, who was with him, is unconscious and in critical condition." he held out a plastic bag with a strand of brownish hair in it. "Here is Officer Kenmochi's hair. Please find out what happened to them."
That evening, at an abandoned warehouse
Yataro, with a serious expression on his face, was in front of Soumei with a pair of scissors in his hand. Then the charismatic boss started to laugh.
"You don't have to be so serious." he said. "Just cut his bangs already. It's not like he's going to live long."
"I can't do anything half-heartedly if it involves you." the dark blue haired boy remarked.
"You're too close. You're supposed to look at the whole head as you cut." then, Soumei slumped forward, grabbed the his vessel's arm, the one with the hand that was holding the scissors, and put his head on his chest.
"Soumei-san?" Yataro questioned.
Then the boss wrapped his arms around the sixteen year old. "Pet me." he said. "I'm feeling a little blue. This guy says he's Joji's grandson. Really made me realize it's been thirty years."
"Is Joji-san the police inspector who killed himself on the night of the full moon thirty years ago?" Yataro asked. "I heard that you two didn't get along."
"The heart of the police force was corrupt, so the wolves' opposition was strong." Soumei said as his vessel scratched him under his chin. "We would act out the person-versus-wolf fight quite often. At the time, even if someone was faced with false charges, they would win if they could just get them to confess. Out of all of the corrupt cops who believed that all you needed to do to get a confession was rough them up a little and guide them along, was one inexperienced guy who didn't subscribe to that. That was Joji."
Flashback
Thirty years ago, Metropolitan Police Department
'Don't worry, they'll never find out.' a woman thought as she cried in the room she was in with two policeman. 'I got rid of all of the evidence. All I have to do is keep crying.'
Suddenly, the door with room opened.
"Hey, I'm gonna butt in." said the person who opened the door, a man with longish black hair and red eyes.
"What are you doing here, Soumei?" one of the police officers asked.
"What do you mean? I'm here to help." then, Soumei walked over to the side of the table the crying woman was on. "Pardon me." he said as he lifted up her foot with a piece of cloth.
The woman yelped as she tried to hold her skirt down.
"Hey, you!" the second police officer, a man with spiky black hair, yelled. "What are you-"
"Here you go." Soumei cut him off as he held up the woman's shoe, which had blood on the bottom of it. "The victim's blood is on bottom of her shoe. Sorry I butted in." and with that, he left the room.
Everyone just stood there with dumbfounded expressions.
"Wait!" the police officer with the spiky black hair called out as he chased after the other man. "How'd you know that?"
"Smell." Soumei said. "I have a good nose. Welcome to being a detective, Assistant Inspector Jojima."
The man's eyes widened in surprise.
"To welcome you, I'll let you in on a little secret. The suspect's panties were black."
"Who are you?!" Jojima asked when Soumei started to walk away.
During the eighteen years he was with me, Joji was yelling a lot.
"A rock as the murder weapon should be fine." a police officer said.
"Place something that matches the wound at the scene." said another police officer.
"The plan is to find it after the suspect's confession."
"What did you use as your murder weapon?" an officer asked the suspect. "Was it a rock."
"A rock?" the suspect repeated. "It might have been."
Outside the room, a woman threw up.
"Woah, are you okay there?" a man asked as he walked up to her.
"Soumei-san." the woman said as she looked at the man.
"You two, clean that up for her." Soumei said to the people that were with them.
"I'm sorry, Soumei-san." the woman apologized as the black haired man hugged her. "I guess I fail at being a Secret Doberman."
"Don't worry about it." Soumei reassured her. "Everyone's like that at first. Throwing up from the stench of lies only proves your brilliance. It's worse than usual today. Have the ones with heightened senses of smelling and hearing wait outside."
"Right." another man nodded.
"But I wanna stay with you, Soumei-san." a little boy said as he and other children clung to the older man.
"Don't get in the way, kid." Soumei scolded. "It's getting good."
"You have the best nose, don't you, Soumei-san? How are you okay."
"That's because I'm special." the black haired man replied.
"Soumei!" Jojima yelled as he came over.
"And here comes the loud one." Soumei said. He looked over his shoulder and smiled at the inspector. "You're full of energy as usual, Joji."
"Is it true that you sent my daughter high heels?!" Joji asked, holding up a shopping bag.
"I thought I'd help her out since she was turning into a fine young woman."
"Don't you dare lay a hand on my daughter!" he looked at the other Secret Dobermans around. "What's going on?" he asked.
Soumei smirked. "You wouldn't understand." he said.
My comrades were starting to break under the storm of lies. I had planned to tough it out.
"Soumei-san! Please come quickly!"
"Soumei-san." said a little girl. Her mouth was dripping with blood and there was some on her hands. There was blood under her, too.
The black haired man ran a hand through through his hair. "I told you not to take information from blood..." he said as he knelt down in front of her and grabbed her shoulders. "Your mouth is all sticky."
"Am I going to be disposed of?" the girl asked. Tears started to well up in her eyes. "No! Save me, Soumei-san!"
"I'm sorry." Soumei apologized.
"Send me, then." the girl said. "You be the one to dispose of me, Soumei-san!"
The black haired man closed his eyes and was about to reply.
"Sounds good."
Soumei's eyes snapped open in shock.
"I'd like to request that, as well."
"Thank goodness!"
"You can go in peace if it's Soumei-san."
"Please, Soumei-san."
The man stared at all of the Secret Dobermans that were around them.
'I toughed it out again, and again...' and before I knew it, I was only holding myself up.' he thought as he removed his hands from the little girl's shoulders and placed them around her neck.
"Wha- Why are you dressed like that?" Jojima asked the Secret Dobermans, who were dressed in white.
"They're burial clothes for Soumei-san." one of them replied.
"The lives of us Secret Dobermans belong to Soumei-san." another said.
"Humans only understand things that they can see."
"Do you understand who's the only one who can order us around now?"
"Soumei, did you order this?" Jojima asked the other man as he walked into the room he was in. "Have them stop this right now!"
"Hey, Joji." Soumei said, not looking up from the file he was reading. "You're as energetic as ever. Did you decide on your grandson's name?"
"Stop fooling around!" the inspector yelled. "The wolves, lately, only listen to you and refuse to comply with humans. We should be working together as forces who uphold justice."
Soumei put the file down and stood up. Then, he grabbed Jojima by his shirt collar and slammed him against the wall.
"Joji." he said. "Do you still not understand that the police department is the criminal organization? Seriously, I guess your stupidity never changes." he placed his head on the man's chest.
"So the reason is the police force itself?" Jojima asked.
Soumei raised his head and looked at the inspector.
"Because I had believed in your nose, I was able to go up in the ranks myself. And that's exactly why, if there's any corruption among the police, I should be the one who takes care of it."
Joji had believe in both the wolves and police force. And that's why they levied false charges against him, saying that he was an old man who had gone mad.
Flashback End
Present day, at the abandoned warehouse
"He had believed in them so much that the shock was unbearable." Soumei said as Yataro emptied a bag of cement in a cement mixer. "He wrote his suicide note, and that was the end."
"There was a suicide note?" the dark blue haired boy asked.
"I didn't read it that well, so I don't really remember. 'Please forgive me, Soumei. I didn't realize how sad it must have been to not be able to gain anyone's trust. I didn't know how difficult it was to hold on to the truth while living among lies. Up until then, I had thought that we were equals. I had no idea you were holding all of that in and dealing with it on your own. Ignorance worthy of death. I can't imagine the world through your eyes, but... Next time, I'd like to see things the way you do. Next time... Let's be partners...'."
Flashback
Soumei, who was handcuffed, was tossed into a room.
"You did it, didn't you?!" one of the officers, who threw him in, yelled. "Hurry up and confess!"
"How did you come to that conclusion?" the black haired man asked as he sat up. "There was a suicide note!"
"Such a thing doesn't exist."
Soumei's eyes widened. "No matter how much in I may be in the way, there is no justification in throwing it away.
"I'm telling you there's no suicide note. Don't lie!"
"Do you know how wolves hunt?" the black haired man asked as he bowed his head. He raised his hands and made the head of a wolf with his fingers. "It doesn't matter how big the prey is, the pack will hunt it. They'll chase it all night if they must. If the first pack tires out, the next pack takes over."
"What are you talking about?!" the police officer asked. "Stop talking nonsense!"
"They wear out the prey and then go in for the kill." Soumei lowered his hands and raised his head and looked at the officers with glowing red eyes. "You are now my prey."
Flashback End
Present Day, at the abandoned warehouse
"It's a bit small, but it should fit." Soumei, now with shorter bangs, said as set a drum barrel on the floor. "How's the cement coming?"
Yataro didn't answer. He looked at his boss. "Are you sure you're okay with this?" he asked.
Soumei flicked him on the forehead. "You're so nice, it's tiring." he remarked. "I'd even kill Joji at this point if he got in the way. I have no hesitations. I will kill Ogino here."
Suddenly, Yataro gasped when he saw a large, red wolf, with glowing yellow eyes, lunge at Soumei. He quickly pushed past him and held up his arm. The wolf bite into the boy's arm as it pushed him to the ground. Soumei smirked as he kicked the wolf off his vessel. The large canine yelped as it was kicked back and landed on the ground.
"So, you followed the scent here." the charismatic boss remarked. "You may be rotten, but you're definitely my kid."
Then Soumei held up his hand and caught a fist.
"I'm hurt, Chikane-chan." he said to the black haired woman. "Attacking your own big brother."
Chikane growled as she glared hard at the spirit in her brother's body, angry and malice in her eyes. She pulled back her fist and jumped away from Soumei, landing next to the red wolf.
"I have say, you two are definitely perfect for each other." Soumei commented.
A red aura surrounded the wolf as it changed into a certain red headed detective.
"We're not going to forgive you for this, Soumei!" Hiroshi and Chikane yelled as they glared at him.
Soumei and Yataro both stared at the two, mostly at Hiroshi since he wasn't wearing any clothes at all.
"Hiroshi, put some clothes on already! Don't let it all hang out!" Chikane yelled, her face turned to the other side so she didn't have to look at her naked childhood friend.
Then Soumei noticed Kei, Yuuta, and Winslow behind some crates, the assistants were holding some of the detective's clothes.
"Oh, no worries." he said. "Help him get dressed."
"Sorry about this..." Kei apologized.
"I'm seriously pissed off about this!" Hiroshi shouted as he tried to get changed into his clothes. "Just you wait!"
After all of that
"How about you explain some things, Soumei?" Hiroshi, now fully dressed, asked.
"What did you do with Ogi's body?!" Chikane demanded.
"Cop shoots fellow police officer." Soumei said, grinning. "It'll make a great headline."
"I don't care about that!" the red headed detective yelled.
"You don't?" the black haired woman questioned.
"What the hell did you do to Ogi's bangs?!" Hiroshi exclaimed.
Everyone's, except Yataro and Yuuta, eyes went wide with both shock and surprise.
"No one cares about that!" Kei yelled, giving over his shock.
"I know you love hair a whole lot..." Chikane remarked. "But get your priorities straight, you hair otaku idiot!"
"They were a little long, so Yataro cut them." Soumei said.
"Glasses is so dead." Winslow meowed.
Yataro froze when he saw the hair loving detective glaring at him.
"What did you cut them with?" Hiroshi asked menacingly.
The dark blue haired blue held up the scissors he used. Then the young werewolf was taken over by sulk.
"No..." Hiroshi said as he clutched his head and started to float in mid-air. "With those... With those cheap scissors they sell at hundred yen shops?!"
"Inaba-san is in so much shock that he forgot about gravity!" Kei exclaimed.
"Pull yourself together, Hiroshi!" Chikane shouted.
"I'm not going to forgive you two for this." the werewolf detective declared as he glared at Soumei and Yataro with glowing red eyes. "I'm going to beat you both to a pulp!"
"Oh, please do." the charismatic boss said. "I highly doubt that you'd be able to attack thi-"
"Cuticle Bolt..." Hiroshi, who had a blonde strand of hair in his mouth, cut off Soumei as blue electricity crackled around his arm and hand. "Max!" he yelled as he threw a giant ball of electricity at the duo.
Soumei screamed in pain when the ball of electricity shocked him and Yataro.
"Hold on a sec!" he yelled, holding a burnt to a crisp vessel in his arm. "No hesitation whatsoever?!"
"There's no need for me to hold back on Ogi's body." Hiroshi said.
"Well, I know I'm okay and all, but..."
"Curse you, Ogi, for being so tough." the detective cursed.
"You're sounding like the villain right now, Inaba-san!" Kei exclaimed.
"Hey, Soumei, how does it feel to be in Ogi's body?" Chikane asked. "You probably used up quite a bit of energy."
Soumei said nothing as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"We can go all out, and Ogi still won't die." the black haired woman remarked, both she and her childhood friend were grinning madly. "We won't let anyone kill Ogi. And if we get rid of Yataro-kun, you won't be able to recover, right?"
The dark blue haired boy froze when he heard this.
"You're just gonna run out of energy!" Hiroshi exclaimed.
"It would be a bit rough to lose my vessel right now." Soumei admitted. "I'm throwing in some extra service here." he made the head of a wolf with his fingers and kissed them. "Daddy will protect you." he said to Yataro as he placed his fingers on his forehead. Then, he turned to his son. "Bring it on, my idiot son." he pulled out two guns. "If you're planning to lay a finger on my vessel, I'll kill you right here and now."
"Intent to kill!" Hiroshi, Chikane, and Yuuta yelled in unison, all of them gripping their fists with determination in their eyes.
"Inaba-san, Chikane-san, did you both not notice?!" Kei asked. "We're at a serious disadvantage!"
"The ogre's got two clubs instead of one!" Winslow exclaimed.
"Say your prayers, Soumei!" Hiroshi yelled.
"That's my line, my idiot son!" Soumei shouted, ready to fire his gun.
Suddenly, he froze when a black miasma touched him.
'What's going on?' he asked himself mentally. 'I burned out all at once."
"Since you're more psychological than physical, psychological attacks will probably work better on you." Hiroshi said, now having a black strand of hair in his mouth. "Black hair means black aura."
"The miasma that brings utter despair to all." Kei, now laying on the ground when the miasma touched him, said gloomily.
"Haven't seen it since episode one, huh?" Chikane, also affected by the miasma, remarked.
"Damn, you're so nonsensical." Soumei commented. He raised his gun and fired.
"Ow!" Hiroshi cried out in pain when the bullet hit him in the leg. He fell to his knees.
"Hiroshi!" Chikane, completely getting over her depression, yelled as she quickly rushed over to her childhood friend.
"You've got to be pretty strong psychologically to live in a spirit form for so long." Soumei remarked.
The werewolf detective grunted as he replaced the hair in his mouth with a white one. Then, he placed his hand on the wound that was on his leg. His hand glowed briefly. Soumei gasped in shock when he saw his son stand up with a completely healed leg.
"I can heal with white hair." Hiroshi explained. "Though I get super hairy on the spot I healed." he rolled up his pants leg and showed the spot he had healed had a bunch of hair on it.
"An afro?!" Soumei exclaimed.
"No needs to see that!" Chikane yelled.
"The subordinate of Ogi's that you shot has been healed by now, too." Hiroshi said. "Your attempt to frame Ogi failed. His subordinate doesn't blame him at all. And the bullet was identified as Yataro's."
Soumei just stared at his son. Then he started to laugh. "Hiroshi, is your ability infinite?" he asked.
"Red, blonde, black, white, and brown." the red headed detective said. "Those are the five colors that give me powers. Just the five natural hair colors." then, with a brown hair in his mouth, the young werewolf jumped in the air.
"He flew?!" Soumei exclaimed as he and the others looked up.
"The special power from brown hair?" Kei asked.
Everyone stared at the detective, who was floating in the air with brown bug wings on his back. Then, the woman, spirit, assistants, and black cat all sprayed him with bug spray they pulled out of who knows where.
"So mean..." Hiroshi whimpered, anime tears falling from his eyes, when he landed on the ground after being sprayed. "All of you spraying me with bug spray..."
"Sorry!" Kei quickly apologized. "It was sort of an instinct..."
"I can fly because I get brown wings from brown hair." the red headed werewolf explained. "Isn't that amazing?"
"I'd rather see feathery wings!" the black haired assistant exclaimed.
"It's just plain weird." Chikane commented. "What were you planning to do by flying, anyway?"
"Huh? Well, I was aiming for Yataro..." the detective replied. Then he turned to the vessel, who was frozen with a look of fear on his face.
Then Yataro turned around and ran away with Hiroshi flying after him. Everyone stared at them.
"Oh, yeah... Nacchan and Yukie-chan were always the one exterminating roaches.." Soumei said.
"How disgusting..." Winslow meowed.
Suddenly, Chikane yelped when she felt an arm wrap around her neck.
"Chikane-san!" Kei yelled.
Hiroshi stopped chasing Yataro and turned when he heard his assistant shout. His eyes widened in shock.
"Chikane!" he yelled.
"What will you do now, Hiroshi?" a smirking Soumei asked as he pressed his gun against the young woman's temple. "I'm sure you wouldn't want anything bad to happen to Chikane-chan, would you?"
"Damn you, Soumei..." Hiroshi growled as he glared at his father. He closed his eyes for a second before he opened them and smirked. "Then again, it is Chikane you're holding hostage."
"Huh?"
Then Chikane pulled out her Jintsu Kon and smacked it hard in Soumei's face. The spirit cried out as he released his hold on the young woman. When she was away from him, Chikane used her powers to transform her club into a spiritual whip.
"Eat this!" she exclaimed as she lashed the whip in Soumei's direction.
"Ah! Please, spare me, mighty queen!" Soumei yelled as he moved out of the whip's line of attack.
"Don't call me that!" Chikane shouted, an irritation mark throbbing on her head. She turned her gaze to her childhood friend. "He really is your father!"
"What's that suppose to mean?!" Hiroshi asked.
"You shouldn't take your eyes off of your opponent." Soumei said as he lunged at the novelist.
Chikane quickly moved to the side. However, Soumei did manged to grab the front of her shirt. Chikane gasped when she felt her shirt being ripped off of her, leaving her standing there in nothing but her black, with white lace, bra on her chest.
"Another sudden fanservice?!" Kei exclaimed, his face going dark red as a lot of blood flowed from his nose.
Yataro's face went dark red as well, he also got a massive nosebleed.
"Woah!" Soumei exclaimed as he wolf whistled. "I love your style, Chikane-chan." he stared pervertedly at the young woman's breasts.
"You must really like the color black, Chikane." Hiroshi remarked as he stared at his childhood friend's very large chest as well.
Chikane, whose face was bright red, growled through gritted teeth as she tried to cover her chest with her arms, tears of angry pricked the corners of her closed eyes. "I guess the saying is true..." she said through her teeth. "Like father like son." she opened her eyes and glared at Hiroshi and Soumei, causing them to yelp, a dangerous purple aura surrounding her. "You know what? I don't care anymore. You can both go to hell together!"
"N-Now, Chikane, c-calm down." Hiroshi stammered in fear as the young woman's spiritual powers crackled menacingly around her body.
"L-Let's discuss this like adults, Chikane-chan." Soumei stuttered in fear as he and his son back away.
"Die, you perverts!" Chikane yelled as she held her hand in the duo's directions.
Hiroshi and Soumei hugged each other and screamed when the novelist's spiritual powers shot out of her hand and came hurling in their direction.
Outside, an explosion of bright purple light was seen coming from the warehouse. After a while, the light disappeared.
Back inside the warehouse
Both a crispy Hiroshi and Soumei groaned in pain as they laid on the ground, twitching slightly.
"Dammit..." Chikane cursed as she put her hand down. "They didn't die."
"You sound really disappointed!" Kei exclaimed.
"Whenever Chikane gets really angry, her spiritual powers increase a hundredfold and can even kill a human." Hiroshi explained.
"It's an absolute miracle that we managed to survived that attack." Soumei said.
"It looks like I'll have to get rid of you guys another way." Chikane said as she loomed over the two, her Jintsu Kon in her hand.
"Please, Chikane, have mercy!" the red headed werewolf begged as stood up.
"Shut up! You and your perverted father are going to die!"
"You should be more careful, Hiroshi." Soumei said as he pointed his gun at the detective. You're wide open."
Outside, the sound of a gun being fired was heard.
Back inside
Hiroshi, Chikane, and Somei's eyes were wide from shock when a needle was shot in the inspector's chest.
"Sorry we're late, Soumei-san." an innocently smiling Haruka apologized, the gun in his hands. "It's the poison you wanted."
"What the hell is with your timing?" Soumei asked. Then he fell to the ground.
"Ogi!" Hiroshi and Chikane yelled.
"Hold it." Soumei, now in Yataro's body, ordered as he pointed his gun at the two. "You both stay right there. This would all be for naught if you healed him now. Don't worry. I told them to get one that won't make him suffer."
"Does it look he's not suffering?" Chikane asked as she pointed down at her older brother.
On the ground, Ogi was twitching and groaning in pain, he even threw up some blood.
"The hell?!" Soumei yelled as he looked over at his other son. "He's majorly suffering, Haruka!"
"Oh. Sorry. My bad." the white haired weakling said in monotone, not looking sorry at all.
"You said that totally monotone!"
"I'll heal him if it kills me!" Hiroshi declared as he placed a white hair in his mouth.
"Stop acting so tough. You've lost." Soumei said, a victorious smirk on his face. He looked down and saw one of the detective's hand were glowing. He glared at his son. "I'm not bluffing, you damn brat!"
Hiroshi glared back. "I'm not bluffing either, you old coot! I'm not going to let him die here! He's my... partner!"
Soumei's eyes widened in shock as an image of Jojima appeared in his mind.
Next time, I'd like to see things the way you do. Next time... Let's be partners...
Suddenly, Soumei felt pain in his arm, the one with the hand that was holding the gun.
"Damn it!" he cursed as he fell to his knees.
"Ogi!" Chikane yelled as she knelt beside her older brother, who was the one shot Soumei.
Ogi then collapsed to the ground.
"Hiroshi! Heal him!" the black haired woman shouted to her childhood friend as she pulled the inspector onto his back.
"Right!" Hiroshi said as he knelt down and placed both of his hands on the older man.
"You brats..." Soumei said as he stood up, clutching his bleeding arm.
He made a move to do something, but Natsuki and Yukie got in front of him, their arms outstretched.
"Soumei-san, please pull back!" the deep forest green haired girl begged.
"Yata's going to die!" the black haired girl exclaimed.
Soumei stared at them and then at the trio a few feet away. Then he decided to let the two girls to lead him away.
"I'm not going to forget about today." Hiroshi said.
Soumei turned around and saw the red headed werewolf glaring at him, with glowing red eyes, while he continued to heal the inspector.
"You're my prey." Hiroshi continued. "I will arrest you, no matter what."
Soumei stared at his son before his lips curled back into a smirk. Then, he turned around and left the warehouse with the rest of the terrorist group.
Later, still at the warehouse
A depressed Ogi was leaning against a crate.
"Wow, he's super depressed." Kei commented.
"Well, you can't blame him." Chikane, who was wearing her older brother's suit jacket to cover herself, remarked. "Soumei totally had his way with his body while he was out."
"By the way, why's Yuuta depressed, too?" Hiroshi asked as he looked over at the blonde assistant, who was sulking on the floor.
"Oh, we can leave that alone." Kei said.
"He's just sad that Ogi wasn't killed." the novelist explained.
"Ogi." Hiroshi said as he placed a hand on the inspector's back.
"Hiroshi." Ogi said as turned to the detective. "I can't face my subordinate. I don't know what to do."
"Don't be like that, big bro." Chikane said softly to her older brother. "You're subordinate doesn't blame you at all, so you have nothing to worry about."
The inspector smiled at his younger sister. "Thanks, little sis, that makes me feel a little bit better." he remarked as he patted the young woman's head. He looked at Hiroshi and saw that he had tears in his eyes. "Don't cry, Hiroshi." he said as he rubbed the young man's head. "I'll be fine."
"What do you mean, you'll be fine?" Hiroshi asked as he wiped his eyes with his arm. "Forget about your subordinate." then, he turned around and ran away, more tears falling from his eyes. "You should care more about not having bangs anymore, you idiot!"
"Only you are worried about that!" Kei yelled after his boss.
"Hiroshi, they'll grow back!" Chikane also yelled out.
The next day, at the apartment of NORA
"You've burned out this much..." Yukie commented as she stared at Soumei, who was the size of a puppy.
"So cute." Natsuki remarked.
"He said the pain medicine is working, so you can come back in now." Haruka said.
Soumei turned around and hopped onto the bed that Yataro, who's arm was in a sling, was sitting on.
"He said you should stay like this for a while." the white haired weakling said before he walked out of the room.
"This screws things up a bit." Natsuki thought aloud.
"Get well soon, Soumei-san." Yukie said before she and the other girl walked out of the room.
After they left, Yataro turned to Soumei and petted his head.
"A little to the right." the black wolf spirit said.
Joji... Seems like your lives are connected... I'm the only one who can't move past thirty years ago.
