"And that is a wrap for today!" Said the producer.

Makoto took off his headphones and placed them on the table and left the recording booth.

"You nailed those scenes Naegi," said the producer who was male. "You're voice talent is incredible."

"Can you play my voice, please?" Makoto asked.

"Sure thing."

The producer pressed a button and Makoto heard the recordings.

"I guess I have nailed it," he said.

"Come on, man, you sound surprised," the producer said as he was saving the recordings. "You are one of the highly requested voice actors for anime."

"I don't need people to stroke my ego," Makoto said, slightly annoyed. "I do this for a living nothing more."

"I think you should give yourself more credit. Not many voice actors can pull off so many voices like you can."

"Well, they need to get better then," Makoto replied. "Same time tomorrow?"

"Yes, that sounds great," the producer replied.

Makoto left the studio room and collected his belongings and left the building with the warm air and sun hitting his body.

Police department

Kyoko was on her computer in her office, going over a few files on a case she was working on.

"Hey, Kirigiri?" Said a female voice.

Kyoko looked up to see Mukuro leaning against the door sweating. She was wearing a police force training t-shirt and shorts.

Summer was the season in Japan, and today was the hottest day by far. Everybody was complaining about how hot it was. Kyoko didn't see the big deal. Yes, she had her blazer off. But she still had her shirt sleeves down to her gloves that she always wore.

"Can I help you, Ikusaba?" Kyoko asked.

"Have you got a spare fan I can have?" Mukuro asked.

"No, I don't," Kyoko replied. "You know I don't use fans."

"Oh, that's right because you never get warm. It's crazy everybody sweating, and here you are not reacting to the heat and continuing to work."

"It must be my cold heart that is cooling me down," Kyoko replied sarcastically. "If I was paid 100 yen for the number of times people have called me cold-hearted. I wouldn't need to work here."

"People don't understand you," Mukuro sighed.

"I'm being a detective and being cold-hearted is a part of the job. Anyway, how are the new recruits coming around?"

Mukuro was the police force, self-defence trainer. She taught all the new police recruits how to fight and protect themselves. Mukuro may have been only 22 years old, but she earned respect from the new recruits and many of the older members of the police force.

"They are doing fine considering this heat," Mukuro replied. "How is your side going?"

Kyoko was in her 20's. She was a detective. But however, her detective ways annoyed many of the police force because of how blunt and cold she could be. But Kyoko did earn more results from the other detective, so people kept quiet on how about she did her job.

"Good, I'm going over some notes on a case, and I think I'm close to cracking it," Kyoko replied as her eyes went back to the screen.

"What kind of case is it?" Mukuro asked

"Murder," Kyoko replied.

"Hopefully you can nail the person so they can go to jail for a long time."

"Hopefully, but sometimes our jail system can be flawed."

"Tell me about it," Mukuro said, rolling her eyes.

Kyoko grabbed her mouse and clicked the save button on her work, and she closed down the program she was using. She raised her arms up for a stretch.

"Time for lunch," Kyoko said. "I will buy lunch if you're interested?"

"No sorry, I'm going out with Hina once she is done with her fitness training with the cops."

"Suit yourself," Kyoko grabbed her bag and stood up. However, her thoughts about lunch were ruined when she saw her boss Byakuya walking into her office.

Byakuya was 22 years old, and he was boss of the police department. People said he was too young to take on a job that big. But he was able to prove his doubters wrong and quickly gained the support of his fellow officers. Byakuya may be a grump. But he was firm but also fair.

"Ikusaba, I don't pay you to guard Kirigiri's door," Byakuya huffed.

"Drop it, Togami!" Mukuro said, annoyed. "I was speaking to Kirigiri until Hina was finished with her duties."

"Are you two going out for lunch?" Byakuya asked.

"Yes," Mukuro nodded. "I think you should come with us more often. I think Hina likes you."

"I am busy doing important stuff," Byakuya replied. "Of course Hina would like me. Look at me. I'm a good looking guy."

"Yeah right, more like a guy with a massive ego," Mukuro said then walked away while Byakuya laid his eyes on his number one detective.

"I'm about to go out for my lunch so make it quick Togami," Kyoko said.

"I need you to come to my office for a few minutes, and you can go," Byakuya said.

"Lead the way then," Kyoko sighed.

The pair left Kyoko's office and made their way to Byakuya's office, which was bigger than hers. There was one thing that always caught Kyoko's eye. Byakuya had a circular glass shape light on his table. It wasn't connected to any power source. But somehow it was always on and it shined pure white.

Kyoko had asked in the past what the item in question was. Byakuya never told her and said if it changed colour, then they were in danger.

Byakuya sat down at the desk and looked Kyoko who was looking at the light.

"Do you ever plan to tell me what this light is for?" Kyoko asked fancying her chances that Byakuya would tell her.

"No, but I will if the time is right. But now then have you heard a race called Nephilim?" Byakuya asked.

"Half-human and half-angle with the ability to shapeshift at will correct?" Kyoko answered.

"Yes, you are," Byakuya nodded. "Do you think they are real?"

"No of course not," Kyoko said, shaking her head. "All that stuff is fantasy. Why are you asking me this stuff anyway?"

"I was wondering if you're a detective that would keep her mind open to all possibilities that's all."

"Right, I will remember to catch a being who can shapeshift as my next criminal" Kyoko said sarcastically as she rolls her eyes. She was finding this conversation to be very stupid and time-wasting. "I'm heading for my lunch." She said and left the office.

Byakuya shook his head and looked at his special light. "If you only knew the truth Kirigiri. There is a lot more at stake than you know."

Kyoko left the building and headed down the street and went into the local café. She knew the workers that well she didn't need to ask what she wanted because the workers knew as soon as they saw Kyoko walked in. A roll and sausage along with tea were getting made.

The café was popular with tons of people coming in for breakfast and lunch. It was a quiet place, but this time there were tons of kids with their parents surrounding one man who was signing autographs for the kids.

"Miss Kirigiri here is your roll and sausage and tea," the female worker said.

"Thank you," the detective replied as she grabbed the bag and cup. "What is going on over there?"

"A famous voice actor has come in to grab a cup of tea, and he was flooded with all these children asking for his autographs. My managers said that the guy is one of the best voice actors ever."

"I see, what is this guys name?"

"Makoto Naegi I believe," the female worker replied.

Kyoko walked forward to the crowd to get a better look at Makoto, she saw him smiling as he was finishing the last autograph.

"Oh wow, look it Detective Kirigiri," one of the young kids said. "She helps keep the streets safe for us."

"But I bet she is really smelly," Makoto joked as held his nose.

The children began to laugh, while Kyoko didn't look amused.

Makoto handed his autograph to the final child. "There we go all done," he smiled.

"Thank you, Mr Naegi," all the children said.

"You are most welcome. Remember to study hard at school. So all of you can get awesome jobs in the future," Makoto said.

All the children nodded as the parents thanked Makoto for making their kids happy, and they all left.

Makoto grabbed his cup from the table and took a sip. "Ah, it's still warm." He gulped his tea down and noticed that Kyoko was still looking at him. "Can I help you, Detective Kirigiri?"

"None at all," Kyoko replied. "I was nosey to see what was happening that was all." Kyoko turned around and left the café.

Makoto paid little attention to the detective. He headed over to the counter for another cup of tea and left the shop. As Makoto walked home. His mobile began to ring, and he pulled out his phone from his pocket and saw it was his agent Chisa.

"Hello Yukizome," Makoto said.

"Hello Naegi, I've been on the phone to a big movie company, and they want you to voice the main character."

"How much?" Makoto asked.

"30 million."

Makoto stopped in surprise. "That much?"

"Yes, it could go higher depends on how well the movie goes."

"Book me an appointment with this company."

"Will do, boss!" Chisa said as she ended the call.

Makoto put the phone back in his pocket and had a small smile on his face. Just thinking about how rich he would be thanks to this new movie.

Thank you for reading.
