Juuzou sat at the dining room table and watched his children devour his partner. It, surprisingly, didn't make him feel sick.

Hitomi tore into the stomach, its contents spilling out onto her plate. She tore it in half, chunks of meat sliding down her hands. The veins from her kakugan pulsed as she sunk her teeth into the flesh. Kaito was eating the fingers like celery sticks, sickening cracks filling the air as he chomped down and broke the bones. Hitomi was soon done with the stomach, and she moved on the the arm. Kaito had ripped the arm from the body and chewed the hand off, enabling Hitomi to hold the arm like a corn cob. The girl ripped the flesh from the bone, and blood turned her snow white hair red. Kaito took to eating the inner organs his sister had left. He swallowed each kidney whole, and then took to the intestines. Kaito swung the tubes around, accidentally hitting his sister.

"Hey!" she said, and wiped a bloodied hand on his shirt.

"Stop playing with your food," Suzuya scolded.

The children went back to their meal, and soon, there was nothing left but bones.

"Daddy?" Hitomi asked, looking at her father with wide eyes.

"Yes?" he said, taking a bite of his own meal.

"Where's the head? The brain is the best part."

Juuzou swallowed the cake he was chewing and frowned. He had put the head in a box in the fridge; he did not want the children to see who they were eating. And he did not want to be reminded.

"I'm saving the head for Mommy," Suzuya said. "Now go take a bath. You're all bloody."

The Next Day

Juuzou sat at his desk, staring at where Kiniko should be sitting. He had never really liked the man, so his death didn't make him sad. However, he had still watched his children tear the man's body apart.

"Where's Kiniko?" Amon asked, standing over Suzuya's desk.

"Dunno," Juuzou lied, unwrapping a lollipop. "I texted him, but he didn't reply."

Juuzou went the rest of the day telling people he had no idea where his partner was. By the time he caught a taxi home, he was so pissed off he was ready to decapitate yet another investigator.

When arrived back to the apartment, he was shocked to find Eto reading on the couch.

"Hey," he said slowly, putting down his quinque case. "What are you doing home?"

"Tatara took care most of the stuff, so sent me home early," she said, not meeting his eyes. "But I think there's a far more important question than what I'm doing home."

Suzuya swallowed hard. "And what's that?"

Eto looked up at him, expression blank. "Why your partner's head is in a box in the fridge."

"Oh," Juuzou said, rubbing the back of his neck. "That."

"Yeah," Eto said, standing up. "That. What the hell happened?"

"The kids got hungry," Juuzou explained.

"So you killed your partner?" Eto said, giving Suzuya a look of disbelief. "Another investigator? How risky is that?"

"I wasn't going to!" Suzuya said, defending himself. "But he followed me and figured out what I was doing. He said he was gonna turn me in. So he needed to be shut up, and the kids were hungry. I killed two birds with one stone."

Eto slowly nodded. "I see."

"Where are the kids anyway?" Juuzou asked.

"Woods. As usual."

Kaito, Hitomi, and Nanami sat in the shack in the woods together.

"My Mommy bought it for me," Nanami said, proudly presenting the twins with a digital camera.

"Woah," Kaito said, grabbing the camera out of his friend's hands. "A camera!"

"Don't grab things!" Hitomi scolded.

Kaito gave Nanami an apologetic look, and she nodded at him. He turned the camera on, and the kids gathered around the screen.

"How do you make it take a picture?" Kaito asked.

"Click the button on top," Nanami said.

Kaito turned the camera around so that it was facing them and pressed the button. The camera clicked, and he turned it back around to see how the picture turned out.

"You closed your eyes," Nanami scolded Hitomi.

"I'm sorry," the white haired girl said.

"I wish you guys could sleepover at my house," Nanami said, frowning.

"Me too," Kaito said, taking a picture of his foot.

"Maybe when you're older," Hitomi said. "You could sneak out and spend the night here."

"That sounds fun!" Nanami said, eyes brightening.
