Inspector Koichi Zenigata stood out side the night club Hollies and watched the young patrons walk in. Most were dressed like the band they had come to see. Zenihata had come to see the band too, telling his superiors that he heard Lupin was going to be there. Though he liked the band, he didn't need his co-workers or Lupin to know he was a fan of gothic punk. Zenigata walked to the front of the line, flashed his badge, and entered the club. Once inside he ordered a beer and sat down at a table near the dance floor, waiting for the show to start.
"Are you guys sure you don't wanna come in with me?"
Lupins car was parked in front of Hollies with Yui leaning in the front passenger side window. At her question four heads shook.
"Sorry Yui. I think this is the one ting the rest of us are too...experienced for. Now I'll be back to pick you up when this is done. No drinking, no smoking, no..."
"No way Lupin. Calm down. I'll be fine. I'm a big girl now. See you guys later."
Yui walked away from the car towards the front of the line. She tossed back her long, blue hair and batted her lashes at the bouncer and was ushered into the club.
She walked up the bar with her fake ID and ordered a Jack on the rocks. Drink in hand, she turned her stool to face the dance floor and stage. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted something that drew her attention. Sitting by himself, holding a beer, was Inspector Zenigata.

Yui stood next to Lupin under the umbrella. She stood, unmoving, as she watched her parents coffins lowered into the ground. As they were lowered, a man came into her view. He wore a trench coat and hat, both soaked through. She knew who he was. He was the detective in charge of following her parents. There he stood holding a pair of hand cuffs. As the graves were being filled in, he threw the cuffs in. He looked up at Yui and Ari. Though he was rain soaked, Yui saw he had been crying. As Yui studied hi he turned, smiled, and then walked away. Though she didn't know why, Yui thought, I'll see you again Inspector.

The screams the people as the band took the stage knocked Yui out of her thoughts. She cheered along as the band began their first song. She looked back at Zenigata to find him singing along. Full of surprises aren't you, she thought. Soon the fast pace of the first song faded into the slower, more solemn second. Yui watched as the dancers paired off and began to slow dance. Her gaze was once again drawn to Zenigata. He'd sunk low into his seat with a sad expression on his face. What the hell, Yui thought as she made her way towards him, turning down several dance offers along the way.
"Excuse me," she said when she reached him," Would you like to dance?"
Zenigata looked up. The girl in front of him waited patiently for him to answer. There was a sharp glint in her eye that he recognized but couldn't place. She looked right at home here in her black tank top, no bra he noted, leather mini-skirt and knee high boots.
"I take your silence as a no. That's fine."
Before she could walk away a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist. Yui turned around and looked up into Zenigatas dark brown eyes with her green and gold ones.
"Thought you didn't want to dance," she said as he led her to the dance floor.
"When a beautiful woman asks you to dance, you'd be a fool not to. And I can't quite place it but I know I've seen you before. Oh well, lets just enjoy this dance."
