Aoi was sitting on her sofa within her living room. Her emotions were all over the place. Raging from anger, confusion and a lack of trust.

The anger was aimed at Kyoko and Byakuya. For the former, it was because of her arrogance and ego. For the latter, it was because Byakuya never stuck up for Aoi. The lack of trust also came from Byakuya because he wouldn't tell Aoi where he lived.

As for the confusion part that came from Kyoko and her uncle. That she and Byakuya saw yesterday. Kyoko never made aware to anyone that she had any kind of family. Apart from Kyoko's daily life. Nobody knew a thing about her.

Aoi was now fully convinced that Kyoko was a Nephilim. The latter had to be stopped. However, Kyoko did have a small hold on Byakuya which annoyed Aoi. Because she knew that Byakuya wouldn't let Kyoko go because of the excellent work she had done.

Aoi wasn't bitter in admitting that Kyoko had done one hell of a job to ensure the streets were a better place.

There was a knock on Aoi's front door. She got up and went to answer it. On the other side of the door was Mukuro carrying a bag. The latter had agreed to help Aoi out by getting a few things every week until Aoi's arm was healed. It was mostly bread, milk and toilet paper.

"Hey, Hina," Mukuro smiled. "I've picked up a few things for you."

"Thank you, Ikusaba," Aoi sighed. "Having this broken arm is a nightmare."

Mukuro walked into the apartment and headed into the kitchen to put the supplies away. While Aoi walked back into the living room.

A minute later, Mukuro walked into the living room. "Do you need me to hoover or dust?"

"No, it's ok," Aoi replied. "I can do all of that with one hand. So, how was work today?"

"Fine," Mukuro said as she sat down on the sofa. "Togami was out of the building today. Leaving Kirigiri in charge."

"Oh, I bet she was barking out orders!"

"Nope," Mukuro said, shaking her head. "Kirigiri was in her office all day. You should have the amount of paperwork that Togami has left her. This was her punishment for refusing to apologies to you."

"Punishment?" Aoi said, rolling her eyes. "I'd hardly call that punishment. She will be enjoying that."

"I think she did. Kirigiri also told me that she would be cleaning up case files since she was gone for two weeks. So she is going to be at the station for at 12 hours today."

"Files?" Aoi said quietly and began to think.

"Hina you ok?" Mukuro asked.

"Files… Oh, I've an idea!" Aoi smiled at Mukuro. "Thanks, Ikusaba!"

"Huh?" Mukuro replied, confused.

"How could I've been this stupid. I can check Togami's personal files to find out where he lives! Come on, Ikusaba you're coming with me to the station!"

"Wait, what?" Mukuro replied, shocked.

"Come on!" Aoi said as she got up.

"Hina wait!" Mukuro said firmly.

Aoi stopped moving, and she looked at Mukuro.

"We are not going anywhere," Mukuro said. "Checking on someones personal files just to learn their address is wrong, in my opinion. Also, if Kirigiri catches you snooping. Then I fear what she might do to you."

"Did I ask for your opinion?" Aoi said darkly. "I'm sick of being treated poorly and being kept out of the loop! If you don't want to go to the station, then leave my apartment now, and I will go there myself!"

'Why did I mention the word file?' Mukuro thought as she rubbed her face. "Hina please just listen to me. Stay here and enjoy the rest of the night."

Aoi glared at Mukuro. "Don't YOU dare tell me what to do!" Aoi quickly kicked Mukuro's right shin, causing the latter to groan in pain. "Do you have any idea what I'm feeling right now?" Aoi said angerly. "Having my arm broken by an egomaniac and having a boyfriend who won't stick up for me. Because he would rather keep the egomaniac as his best detective instead of sacking the stupid BITCH!"

"Hina you need to calm down!" Mukuro pleaded.

"Calm down… CALM, DOWN!" Aoi roared. "I told you, don't you dare tell me what to DO! Don't make me break your arm like Kirigiri did with mine!"

"I'm done here," Mukuro shook her head. "Listen to yourself. You sound like a wild animal. Do you yourself a favour and take a bath and relax." Mukuro got up and left the apartment.

"Stupid bitch!" Aoi sneered. "That's another person who thinks they can walk all over me and tell me what to do! But it doesn't matter. I will have her sacked one day. But right now, I need to go to the station and find where Togami lives, so I go to his house and force him to train me how to kill Nephilim straight away. So I can kill Kirigiri!"

Aoi put her shoes on. She had bought herself a pair of slip-on shoes for the time being until she was able to tie shoe lances again. She put on a fleece and left the apartment and headed for the station,

Police station

Ariel was in the staff room with some colleagues eating fish and chips after she got everyone who was the late shift with her. Since she was busy with cases files. She wasn't going to get out of here anytime soon.

She started at 9 am and didn't think she would leave the building until at least 9 pm. To ensure the people who did the back shift didn't have any problems. Considering it was 5 pm right now. She felt it was the best time to get some dinner but also treat her colleagues as well.

In all her years living. Ariel was glad that Japan opened up to different foods from all around the world. After travelling the world with Dumah, she was able to feast on the delightful foods and wondered at the time if Japan would discover these beautiful foods. Considering Japan closed its borders to outsiders. When she was a child.

"Hey Kirigiri, thanks for the takeaway," said one of the male police officers. "I didn't know western food could taste this good."

"It's fine," Ariel replied. "Since I'm working late. I thought I would order everyone food."

"You're the best," said a female officer. "I hope one day that you take over Togami's job."

"Maybe one day," Ariel replied. "But right now, I'm happy being a detective that keeps the streets clean for peaceful civilians."

Ariel had finished her meal, and she got up. She took her fork, knife and plate and put them into the dishwasher.

"Don't take to long eating yours," Ariel said to the other staff. "The others are no doubting looking at the clock waiting for you guys to come back. So, they can have their fish and chips."

"Don't worry, we won't Kirigiri," said the female officer.

Ariel nodded and left the staff room. She headed to her office and went to her filing cabinet and pulled out case files she usually spent time cleaning her files once a week. But because she was pretty much off for three weeks. It needed to get done.

Ariel sat down and began to look at each case file to see which ones were recent and which ones were old. The older case files were sent to the criminal records room in case they were needed again for future reference.

"Hey Kirigiri," A female officer said as the knocked on the door.

"Is there a problem?" Ariel replied, looking up at the female officer.

"It's not a problem, but I thought I should let you know that Asahina has walked into the station with a face that could kill and she stormed into the staffs record room."

Ariel let out a sigh. "I will deal with it. You carry on whatever you were doing."

The female officer nodded and left.

Ariel got up and left her office and went to the staffs record room. She opened the door and found Aoi going through files that were in the file cabinet.

"May I ask what you are doing?" Ariel asked.

"Fuck off, Kirigiri!" Aoi replied. "What I am doing doesn't concern you!"

"If you're hoping to find anything dirty on me. Then you are out of luck."

"I'm not…" Aoi said, but she paused. 'That bitch thinks I'm looking for her files and not Togami's files…'

"You're not what?" Ariel replied, folding her arms. "I think you have the nerve to lie when I've caught you in the act."

'If I play this cool, then Togami will never know the truth why I was in here. When the bitch tells him what I was up to,' Aoi thought. "Yip, you got me. A brilliant detective you are," she said sarcastically."

"Leave now!" Ariel ordered. "You shouldn't be in this room nor the station."

"Piss off and leave me alone!" Aoi said darkly.

Ariel shook her head. She pulled her phone and took a picture of Aoi. Then she sent the photo to Byakuya along with a small message.

"Hopefully Togami will see this picture, and he will phone you," Ariel said.

Aoi began to shake in anger. She was close to finding Byakuya's personal files. She will not let everyone or anything get in her way.

Then her phone began to ring. Aoi took the phone out of her pocket and saw it was Byakuya. She shot a glare to Ariel, and she answered the call. While the latter was smirking at her.

"Hello Togami," Aoi said.

"Hina, I will ask this once. What are you doing in the staff's records room?"

"I was looking for any dirt on Kirigiri," Aoi lied.

"You do realise it is wrong to go through someone else's personals files? Regardless of the heat between you and Kirigiri. You SHOULD not be looking up her personal data! I want you out of the station now! If you're not gone by the time I text Kirigiri for an update. Consider yourself in huge trouble!"

"Yes, boss," Aoi said bitterly as she slammed the filing cabinet. "I'm leaving right now!" She ended the call and walked past Ariel and left the station in a huff.

"Looking through my personal files, were you Hina?" Ariel chuckled. "Don't take me for a fool. I know you were here for Togami's files to find out where he lives. Because I tried that trick once and failed. That sneaky man has removed his files. So his address can be hidden."

Ariel closed the door behind her and went back to her office.
