Byakuya was sitting outside Mukuro's apartment building. He had thought long and hard about recruiting Mukuro to his cause. Because he was convinced that Mukuro was the mole. Because her name wasn't on the note that the Nephilim had left.

However, she never knew about his house address, and yet the Nephilim still found out where he lived. Was it that the Nephilim didn't know anything about Mukuro? Or was it that the creature never saw Mukuro as a threat?

Byakuya shook his head. "I need help… Ikusaba is the only one left that can help me." He looked at his watch. "It's nearly half six. Ikusaba better be in."

He got out of his car and headed inside the apartment building and headed upstairs to Mukuro's floor. Byakuya reached Mukuro's door and knocked on it.

He waited for a few seconds and the open door. He saw Mukuro wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

"Togami what are you doing here?" Mukuro said, surprised. But in truth, she wasn't. She knew why Togami was here. "You look stressed, are you ok?"

"Ikusaba I need your help please!" Byakuya pleaded. "The Nephilim has kidnapped Hina and Kirigiri, and the vile creature has raided my house!"

"Your house?" Mukuro genuinely shocked. That she didn't know about. Dumah had kept quiet about that one. "I can't help you if your house has been raided."

"Why not?" Byakuya replied with a mixture of rage and horror.

"I'm guessing that the Nephilim has raided everything? Notes and weapons, if this is the case. Then we don't have weapons to protect ourselves. It will be a death sentence for us. If we try and rescue Hina and Kirigiri."

Byakuya slowly dropped onto his knees, and he hung his head in shame. "Please Ikusaba…help me. I've fucked up. I'm supposed to ensure stuff like this doesn't happen."

Mukuro couldn't believe what she was seeing. The mighty Byakuya Togami was on his knees, begging for her help. If only the two Nephilim were here. They would be laughing their heads off.

"Fine come in," Mukuro sighed.

Byakuya stood up and walked into the apartment.

Mukuro closed the door behind her. "Right, do you have any idea where this Nephilim has taken Hina and Kirigiri to?"

"I don't," Byakuya sighed. "The Nephilim said he would get in contact with me so we can finally end this."

"I see," Mukuro said, folding her arms. "I guess all we can do is wait while coming up with possible strategies to rescue Hina and Kirigiri."

Abandoned warehouse

Dumah appeared as Byakuya as he was holding Ariel had gunpoint as she led the pair into a room where she saw Aoi sitting against a wall with her arms tied behind her back. Her legs were also tied together. There was also a white cloth in Aoi's mouth so she couldn't speak.

When Aoi saw Byakuya rather the Nephilim holding Ariel at gunpoint. She screamed through the cloth.

"Hina!" Ariel said alarmed. She rushed to Aoi's side and pulled the cloth out of her mouth. "Are you ok? Did the Nephilim hurt you?"

"No, I'm fine. I don't feel pain at all," Aoi replied. "Are you ok, did the Nephilim hurt you?"

"No, I'm ok," Ariel replied. "I got a phone call from Byakuya telling me what was going on until this Nephilim showed up at my front door and held me at gunpoint."

"Is he alright?" Aoi said, slowly hoping that Byakuya was ok.

"Yes, he is fine. He is worried about you, his house was broken, and he had all his weapons stolen."

Aoi looked at the fake Byakuya. "You filthy MONSTER! Why don't you show us your true form you FUCKING COWARD!"

"Why should I?" Dumah chuckled. "What do I get out of it?"

"You don't get anything you fucking creep!" Aoi said in anger.

"Detective Kirigiri will know who I am… If I show my true face that is. Because we have met twice before, haven't we little detective?"

"Twice?" Ariel said, surprised. She went into deep thought then she let out a gasp. "You're Makoto Naegi…the famous actor!"

Dumah returned to his normal form. He put the gun between his arm and body to hold it so he could clap his hands freely. "Well done, Detective Kirigiri. Most impressive you are! Shame you won't live long enough to see my next trick." He grabbed the gun and pointed it at Ariel.

She stood up to protect Aoi. "I will never die. I will defeat you, so Hina and I can get out of here!"

Aoi felt rotten she had labelled Kyoko a Nephilim through her anger. Now Kirigiri is protecting her.

"Kirigiri, you don't need to protect me. I don't deserve your help," Aoi said. "I said nasty things about you and even called you a Nephilim. But you're not one I know that now."

"What do you mean?" Ariel said as she kept her focus on Dumah.

"It's Ikusaba that is the Nephilim," Aoi replied. "She helped this Nephilim kidnap me."

Ariel turned around and looked at Aoi. "Ikusaba?!"

"Yeah," Aoi nodded.

"Oh, that's fucking great, isn't it?" Ariel said, annoyed, "Togami is not going to let me live this one down. Ikusaba that crafty creature. She got us all good!"

"It's strange that you're calling Ikusaba a Nephilim when she nor I have stated that she is one," Dumah said. "Where is your proof Hina?"

"Stop trying to mess with our heads!" Aoi said sneered. "I know she is one because she helped you! No human would help monsters like you!"

"Why am I such a monster?" Dumah said, tilting her head. "Has Togami filled you with enough lies that you wouldn't consider himself and his family the true monsters?"

"You tried to kill me!"

"I was warning you not to go near Togami, or you would die yourself!" Dumah replied darkly. "But no, you're stupid, and you rather be his heir making machine. But that's fine both of you will die. Then I can move onto the next stage of my plan!"

"No, you won't! Byakuya will stop you!" Aoi grinned. "You mark my words Nephilim. Byakuya will find a way to stop you, and it's you who will die!"

"We'll see!" Dumah chuckled. "I still have a few tricks that I've yet to show." He went into his pocket and pulled out Aoi's phone. "Let's get Togami over here shall we?"

Mukuro's apartment

Byakuya and Mukuro had just finished going over different plans based on various things happening. It was now 7 pm, and Byakuya was starting to get nervous.

"Hurry up Nephilim contact me!" He muttered.

Mukuro came out of her room wearing a hoodie and jeans. "You need to relax. If you don't have a clear mind and focus. You will be a danger to Hina."

"You're right," Byakuya sighed. "I'm getting worried about Hina. I do love her… I know I've not been the best boyfriend because of the way I act. But I do want to spend the rest of my life with her. She is the one for me."

'On his knees begging and now giving out a love confession. The world must be ending,' Mukuro thought.

Byakuya's phone went off, and he quickly went into his pocket and pulled out the phone. It was a text from Hina.

He opened the text and read it. "Ikusaba, that was the Nephilim. The vile creature has given us the address. Come on, let's go and save Hina and Kirigiri, and I will kill this Nephilim scum for what he has done to us!"

Mukuro watched Byakuya rushed out of the apartment. She knew he was rushing to his own death. She sighed and left the apartment, glad that everything will be over. So, she could go back to a normal life.
