"Hey hun," Juuzou asked, climbing into bed next to his wife.

"Hey baby," she said, smiling at the man.

"How was your day?" Suzuya asked, rolling onto his side so that he could look at the moonlit outline of the half ghoul.

"Good," Eto said, scooting closer to the investigator. "But I have some bad news."

Juuzou frowned. "What?"

"I have to go to Yokohama for a couple nights for business."

"I can watch the kids," Suzuya said, yawning.

"I know you can," Eto said softly, burying her nose in the crook of his neck. "I'm just gonna miss you."

"I'll miss you too."

Eto nipped at Suzuya's neck, causing him to lurch.

"Hey!" he said.

Eto smirked against her husband's skin, and it sent shivers down his spine. She began to kiss his neck, stopping to suck and nibble at certain spots. She left purplish red marks as she went, biting at the stitches on his throat. Juuzou loved it when she did this; it felt so… dangerous?

Leaning his head back and exposing his throat to a man eat ghoul was the same as a mouse walking right into the cat's claws. But he couldn't help himself. Eto rolled on top of him and began to kiss him, forcing her tongue into his mouth. Suzuya let out a choked moan and tangled his hands in her hair, and the half ghoul's hand's tangled in Juuzou's own hair, tugging at the snow white curls.

Eto wrapped her legs around him and began to thrust her hips against the man. He let out a gasp, and she smirked and bit Suzuya's lip. Suddenly, she rolled off of him and closed her eyes.

Juuzou blinked in surprise.

"I'm tired," Eto said, still not opening her eyes. There was a devilish grin on her face. "I have to leave for Yokohama early tomorrow morning."

Suzuya let out a huff, sinking down into the pillow. "I hate it when you do that."

The Next Morning

"Where's Mommy?" Hitomi asked as he and her brother wandered from their room. It was almost 8:00.

"Mommy had to go on a trip early this morning," Suzuya said, putting his slippers on. "I'm leaving for work in a few minutes."

"We need to talk to Mommy," Kaito said in a definite matter.

Juuzou frowned. "You know you can talk to me, right?"

Hitomi shook her head vigorously. "We need to talk to Mommy."

Suzuya kneeled down so he could get on eye level with his children. "Mommy can't talk right now."

"It's important," Kaito said, biting his lip.

"Well then you can tell me," Juuzou said gently.

"We need Mommy," Hitomi whined.

"Hitomi, Kaito," Suzuya said sternly. "You need to tell me if it's important."

"It's more of a Mommy thing," Kaito said, rocking on his little feet.

"Tell me," Juuzou ordered, a sharp edge to his voice.

The twins gave each other a nervous glance, and then the lighter haired of the two spoke.

"We're really hungry."

A sick feeling of dread formed in Juuzou's stomach. Eto was going to be gone for a few nights, and there was no meat in the fridge. For a brief moment the investigator considered going to Naki, but he quickly pushed that thought from his head. He knew he couldn't wait until his wife came back; the kids would go crazy.

"I'll get you food," Juuzou said, mouth dry. "After work today."

"Thank you Daddy!" Kaito said, and the twins flopped down on the couch to watch tv.

Suzuya, knots in his stomach, picked up his quinque case and headed to work. As he sat in a boring meeting, he planned everything out.

After work he would head to a place where there were a lot of homeless. First, he would go to a store and buy a large garbage bag and a cardboard box. He then would find someone that was out of sight and alone. He would kill the person with his scythe, and then chop them up into little pieces. He would put the body parts in the garbage bag, tie up the bag, and then put the bag in the box.

It made him sick. He told himself it shouldn't, he did it all the time to ghouls. But this time, he was doing a favor for… the enemy?

Work seemed to go by especially slow, and by the time it was over, Suzuya was so nervous he thought he would throw up. The man gathered his things, bid his comrades goodnight, and stepped outside.

"Okay," he said to himself as he stood outside the CCG headquarters. "Hunting time."
