If there is one thing you should know about me, it's that I hate criminals. That and I am the best detective there is. I'm not technically part of any police force, I am a private detective that anyone can hire. My abilities at solving crimes, anything from petty theft to homicide and even helping the police capture notorious criminals, are so profound that not a day goes by without me getting caught up in some kind of case. My most recent job was finding out information about Twisted Fate. I was in a dark side alley looking for clues, Twisted Fate was sighted in this area not long ago. Something caught my eye, it shouldn't have though, it was just an old beaten up umbrella in a trashcan. My curiosity got the best of me so I took a look at it. It was pretty damaged and tattered, the color had faded and it was covered in dust and garbage residue. Something felt off about this item but I thought nothing of it. I put it down on the ground next to the can I found it in. "Poor thing" I said "You seem like you were a very reliable umbrella, you must've been used quite a lot." I dusted the thing off a bit "maybe someone will come by and claim you as their own" and with that, I left. When I got home I decided to bathe. I was covered in dirt dusting off that umbrella. After my bath I went into my living room to dry off some more. That umbrella was there, right on my table. If that wasn't odd enough, I heard a voice in my head

"No one has given me any kindness for a very long time. Thank you."

"You're welcome but who are you?"

"My name is Karakasa, Kasa for short."

"Okay Kasa. What can I do for you. I don't usually get many guests."

"You are not afraid of me? Most would be running or trying to get rid of me by now"

"Well, I sense no ill feeling coming from you and surely if you wanted to do something awful you would've done it by now. It could've been so easy for you to kill me while I was in the bath but you didn't"

"That is true but how do you know I didn't just get here?"

"Well I am a detective and seeing how the dust trail from the door is settled and spread out, I can see that some time has passed. I will spare you the boring details though. So I'll ask again since you didn't answer me the first time. What can I do for you, Kasa"

"Well you showed me kindness, I was hoping I could do the same for you."

"Hmm a demon spirit showing kindness, how peculiar"

"You can tell I'm a demon?"

"Detective"

"Oh right. Well detective what's your name?"

"Devalosa, but people just call me Dev"

"Pleased to meet you, Dev"

"Let's get you cleaned up Kasa, you're tracking dust everywhere"

I then cleaned the umbrella demon Kasa up. I stitched up his ripped cloth and washed away the dirt. I touched up his umbrella handle and gave him a polish. We spent all night talking about him. I wanted to know more, I've never known a demon before but I've heard the stories. Of course I needed to be weary of him, he is a demon after all and demons aren't known for their kindness but I have a feeling this one is different. I had to leave for work, I needed to search for more clues about Twisted Fate. When I was part way out the door that's when Kasa asked if he could come along. I said it was fine but as long as he acted like a normal umbrella. "Only you can hear me" he said. I chuckled and picked him up and got to work.

I was headed to report back to the police office when I heard gunshots in the distance. Some kid ran past me and the officers were chasing them. I asked one officer what was going on. They said this kid had information on Twisted Fate. I heard Kasa, "Join in on the chase. I can help. Point me at the kid, I'll slow him down" Despite my suspicions I joined the chase. I pointed Kasa at the child and a bullet flies out of the top of the umbrella puncturing his arm. Bleeding, the kid climbed to the roof of a nearby house. Kasa informed me to use his hooked handle to get up and I did just that. The kid was jumping roof to roof quite aways in front of me. I ran after him and soon caught up and just then he threw a knife my way. It sliced open my leg and I tumbled down the roof almost falling to the street below but Kasa saved me. His hooked handle caught on the edge of the roof and I was able to pull myself up. The gash in my leg was too much for me to keep running, I would loose too much blood at this rate. "I'll fix it, don't worry" Kasa said calmly. My leg patched itself up and I was able to stand again. "Keep running, we'll catch him" , I followed his order and kept running after the kid. When I got close, the kid threw another knife. Kasa opened up on his own and the knife bounced right off. He closed himself and I returned to the chase. The child jumped over a very wide gap between houses. I jumped after him but I saw I wasn't likely to make it, Kasa opened and I was able to float to the other side. "Thanks, Kasa" I said, "Don't worry about it. Now pull my handle out and slice." I was confused on what he meant but he's saved me so far so I pulled out his handle revealing a sword. I swung it and it grazed the boy's leg, just enough for him to fall. The officers took over from there. Another step closer to catching the criminals and I have Kasa to thank. He has never left my side every since. He is an amazing and reliable partner.
