Ju San walked through the Tokyo streets. She was almost to the abandoned warehouse she had to meet Juuzou at. It was pitch black, and even with her mask, the servant did not feel safe. She checked to make sure nobody was watching, and then she slipped inside the building.

Suzuya leaned against the wall on the far side of the empty warehouse, and Ju San cautiously approached him.

"Suzuya?" she asked.

"Yeah?"

"Okay, it's you," Ju San said, pulling off her ski mask and flower crown. "Just making sure."

"Who else would it be?" he snorted.

Ju San scowled. "I have information on a gang of ghouls in the 22nd ward. They're called the 'Cards' Gang. Each member is like a different playing card. They're leader is a ghoul with the called 'Ace of Diamonds'. His mask is like a skull, and on the side is painted an ace of diamonds."

"Good job," Juuzou said. "Now, I want you to infiltrate their group."

Ju San stared at him in shock. "How?"

"Easy," Suzuya said, blowing a bubble with the gum he was chewing. "Join them."

"I can't do that!" Ju San sputtered.

"You can and you will," Juuzou said. "I deleted the files. You owe me."

Ju San sighed. "Okay. Fine. Oh, and something else too."

"What?"

"Call me Mesume," she said confidently.

"You got a name now?" Juuzou asked.

"Yeah," Ju San smiled. "Well I'm still Ju San at the mansion, but out here I'm Mesume."

"Alright then," Suzuya said. "Well, Mesume, I have another request for you."

Mesume groaned. "What is it?"

"This one's for my kids," Suzuya snapped. "So lose the attitude."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Where's Eto living?" Juuzou asked.

Ju San frowned. "I can't tell you that."

"You will tell me," Juuzou said. "I'm taking them to their mother."

"No you're not!" Mesume snapped. "We have a deal, remember?"

"Relax," Suzuya said, blowing another bubble. "I have full intention of keeping them. I just need her help on stuff having to do with school and getting them food."

"I see," Mesume said slowly.

"So I need to know where I can find her," Juuzou said.

Mesume sighed. "She's living with Master Naki."

Suzuya's eyes widened. "They're living together?"

"Yeah."

"Are they…"

"Yeah."

Juuzou was silent for a moment. He wasn't sure was he supposed to be feeling, but he knew he definitely was not supposed to be feeling the pang of jealousy he was. "I see why you don't want me to take the kids to Eto now," Suzuya said. "If she gets them, her, Naki, and the kids will become a family unit. And you won't have a chance."

Normally, those words would've crumpled Ju San. But given the weeks events, she decided not to let them get to her. "Yes, those are my motives."

"What's Naki's address?"

"287 Kigen street," Mesume said.

Juuzou pulled out his phone and saved the street name. "Wait a minute," he said. "That's that giant mansion."

"Yup."

"I thought some rich businessman lived there."

"He does."

"So there's somebody else in the house?"

"Nope."

"Naki is the rich businessman?"

"Yup."

"How does he make all that money?"

"Inherited from Yamori and the black market."

"Alright then. Well, I'll see you in the morning then."

"Wait," Mesume said.

"What?"

"Two things: number one, I get paid."

Suzuya rolled his eyes and handed the servant the money. "I was hoping you'd forgotten."

Mesume stuffed the money away. "Second: are you bringing the kids with you?"

"I was planning on it."

"Well, make it clear to them that they have to pretend they don't know me. If Naki or Eto find out that I found them and did not bring them back, I'm dead."

"Understood," Juuzou said.

He gave Mesume a curt nod, and strode out of the warehouse.

"Well shit," Mesume muttered. "Now I gotta find The Cards."
