Grow up?
GROW UP?!
Mika was livid with her partner the whole time that they were handling their latest case.
What gave her the right to tell her to grow up?
SHE was the one screwing an enforcer and pretending to be married when they went out on their time off.
How in the hell were they getting away with it?
Mika kept glancing at the enforcer every now and then. He would casually put his hand on her shoulder when he would talk to Inspector Tsunemori. They were too close for her liking.
"Are you going to pay attention to what you are doing or what?" Kagari snapped, snatching a baton out of the case she was holding.
Mika glared at the enforcer in front of her. "Watch the way you talk to me, dog."
Kagari got close to her face. "No, you watch the way you talk to Inspector Tsunemori. She is liked, unlike you, so I would be watching my ass if I were you."
"Y-you think you scare me?" Inspector Shimotsuki swallowed hard.
The young enforcer chuckled darkly and stroked her cheek. "I know I do. I am a criminal after all. Who knows when I'll snap?"
"Kagari, quit messing with her." Kogami called over his shoulder. "We have a job to do."
"Coming~" He sang, winking at Shimotsuki as he walked away.
"Damn it." Mika whispered, dropping the case she had been holding. This job was way more than what she bargained for.

"Shinya." Akane groaned. "She is such a- ugh!"
"Bitch? I know." Kogami chuckled, pinning her against the wall of the closet they found themselves in.
"I'm serious. I'm sick of the way she talks to you and Kagari." She said as he pulled her skirt down.
"Stop worrying. We had Ginoza before you came along, and trust me, it's nothing we haven't dealt with before."
He lifted her up and supported both of their weight as he began to assault her neck with kisses and worked his way inside her.
Akane sighed, loving the way they melded together.
"If only she knew what we did while she was processing a criminal." Kogami chuckled in her ear.
"You know that I can't help myself." Akane giggled as he nipped her exposed shoulder. "You're the only thing that keeps me sane."
"Oh? So that clear psycho pass is fake?" The enforcer smirked. "Inspector Tsunemori, are you saying that you are secretly a latent criminal?"
"What if I am?"
Kogami put his lips next to her ear. "I have a dominator that will judge you any day."
"Go right ahead, Enforcer Kogami, you have my clearance."
He kissed her long and hard, then pulled back and looked at her with a cocky grin.
"What?"
"It seems that your crime coefficient is way up there. My enforcement is needed."
Akane rested her head against the wall and bit her lip.
"Destroy decomposer."

Ginoza came back to the Bureau around 2:00 for a meeting with Chief Kasei and Akane, leaving Mika in charge for a while.
"I hope they talk about the crappy job she's doing." Kagari whispered to Kogami. "Why does she have to cover for Akane when she has the baby? Couldn't they bring in someone from Division Three?"
"I've learned to just nod my head at whatever the higher ups decide to do." Kogami sighed. "They let Akane keep the baby, so needless to say, we're grateful."
"Still. She's a freaking kid."
"Just wait it out for a few weeks. We'll end up having a case that makes her grow up soon enough."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
Kagari leaned back in his chair.
"So, has she walked in on you two yet?"
"You make it sound like we're always in each other's pants." Kogami snickered.
"Isn't it true that pregnant women always want it, though?"
"I mean, it's not that much different than before." Kogami shrugged.
The door opened and Mika walked in.
"Have you two finished your reports on the events from earlier?"
"Yes, oh great Dictator Shitmotsuki." Kagari sarcastically answered.
"It's Shimotsuki, you idiot." She glared.
"I know what I said."
"In case you have forgotten, I am in charge right now, not Inspector Tsunemori." She said, putting her hands on her hips. "And I will not put up with the way you speak so disrespectfully."
"Maybe if you pulled that stick out of your ass, I wouldn't be acting so disrespectful."
Kagari and Mika narrowed their eyes at each other.
Kogami sighed and stepped between them. "Okay, you two, that's enough."
"But Ko, she-"
Kogami glared at Kagari, making him shut up.
"… Fine." Kagari mumbled and turned back to his computer.
"I'm sorry about all of this. I think he forgets that this is only your second day on the job." Kogami said, holding out his hand. "Truce?"
Mika frowned down at it and walked away to her desk. "I don't make peace with dogs. I make sure to get them fixed."
The enforcer put his hand back down to his side and narrowed his eyes at her.
Yes, she was an inspector. Yes, he was considered to be nothing but a hunting dog for the CID.
But what Inspector Shimotsuki seemed to forget is how hard a dog could bite.

"She said what to you?" Akane hissed when she sat down to eat dinner with Kogami after her meeting with Gino and the chief.
"Don't worry about it." Kogami said, taking a bite of food. "It's not like she can do anything."
"But I can." The inspector said, slamming down her cup.
"Seriously, Akane. Don't let it stress you out. It's not your fault that she's a total brat."
"But it's my fault that she is in Division One. If it weren't for me, we wouldn't need Inspector Shimotsuki." She groaned.
Kogami reached across the table and held Akane's hand.
"I'm happy about the baby, Akane. I really am." He gave her a gentle smile. "If this is something we have to go through so we can have our baby, we can deal."
Akane felt her cheeks heat up because of his words.
"Shinya… I…" She smiled. "Thank you for doing this."
"Hey I helped make it, too." He chuckled. "It's just as much my responsibility for Inspector Shimotsuki as yours."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
"Hey, you two. Mind if I join you?"
Kogami and Akane looked up to see Masaoka standing next to the table with his dinner.
"Go ahead." Akane smiled.
"So how are you today, little missy?"
"I'm doing better. Thanks for the advice on suppressing my morning sickness, it's really helped me a lot today."
"Any time. When my wife was pregnant with Nobuchika, the smell of lemon always did the trick." The enforcer said, breaking apart his chopsticks.
"So how is everything with the new rookie? Still messing with her?"
"Yeah." Kogami smirked. "She thinks that me and Akane are doing a terrible job at sneaking around, but she hasn't confronted us about it yet."
"I was expecting her to say something about it when we were alone this morning." Akane said, pushing her plate forward when she was done eating. "She was mad enough to."
"You were pretty upset this morning, too. I think she knew that if she said anything, you were going to report her to the chief for doing a bad job."
"She got you angry?" Masaoka asked in disbelief.
"I've never seen her that angry in all the time she's been here." Kogami said, rubbing the back of his neck. "It kind of freaked me out."
"Well, you were pretty pissed off when I got back from that meeting earlier."
"If you had to deal with her unnecessary orders and Kagari's complaining, you would have been, too." Kogami said. "At least you have the hormones as an excuse."
"She's that bad, huh?"
"Just immature." Akane sighed. "Her class scores were remarkable, which gave her the job in the first place."
"What did I say your first night on the job?" Masaoka chuckled. "That stuff doesn't matter when it comes to the real thing."
"I'm starting to be reminded."
Akane and Kogami's communicators beeped, signaling that they were needed back in the division office.
"Back to hell we go." Kogami joked. "See ya, old man."
"Just make sure to take good care of little missy, Ko. She is carrying my grandchild after all."
"Yeah, yeah." He chuckled as he put his arm around her shoulders. "Will do."

"I don't get it. Why are we handling a missing person?" Kagari asked when they returned to the office.
They had gotten orders from the chief to check in on a missing persons report when their shift was about to end. It was turning out to be a possible murder investigation if they weren't able to find her soon.
"Looks like overtime today. You think you can handle it, Tsunemori?" Ginoza asked as he read the file.
"Yeah, I'll be okay." She nodded.
"What about me?" Inspector Shimotsuki asked. "Will I be helping out, too?"
"You're a part of this division, aren't you?" Kagari rolled his eyes.
"Look, this is a serious case, and we don't have time to treat you like a rookie." Ginoza said, looking seriously at Mika. "If you can't handle it, you will be taken off the case. Is that clear?"
"Yes sir."
"Good. Stick close with Inspector Tsunemori durning everything.
I'm going to send you out to question the people who last saw Miss Yamada. Kogami and Kunizuka will go with you."
"Yes sir." Akane and Mika nodded.
Inspector Shimotsuki knew that this was her first real test as a member of the CID, and she was going to make sure to prove herself
