The sun was slowly starting to set as she went back of her building, the twilight was painting everything red and she lightly chuckled, thinking it was the perfect hour for beats to come out of hiding and start their night hunt.
Thankfully, there was no blond in sight and she made it safely to Ikebukuro.
As expected Shiki was still there at the gallery, hardworking, as she's always known him.
She barged in, not bothering to ask anyone, entering as if it was her own place, as usual.
Concentrating on his papers the yakuza only noticed her arrival when she stood in front of him, coughing loudly.
Irritated by the noise he raised his head, surprise showing in his eyes,
"Did you forget something Orihara-san?"
"No"
"Then do you need something?"
"Yes"
"You're much less talkative than usual, is there something wrong?"
His tone was teasing, somehow playful and Kanra pouted, leaning down slightly, whispering so he'll be the only one to hear,
"Don't play dumb with me Shiki-san, you know what I'm talking about"
"Do I?"
A smirk was appearing on his face, Kanra hated it and, in her pocket, the hold on her switchblade was tightenning dangerously,
"Yes Shiki-san, you do"
"You're normally much more straightforward, there's definitely something wrong with you, how about you tell me about it?"
At this point Kanra couldn't take it anymore and she yelled,
"THE FLOWERS GODDAMNIT"
At the realization of what she just said, she turned her head away from Shiki, hiding an embarassing blush that was starting to form on her cheeks, and then lowering her voice to a normal volume she added,
"Why would Shiki-san want to send flowers to me?"
"It's common to send gifts to business partners" he answered flatly
"I know that, but normally it's things related to your business or sweets, or I don't know, not flowers"
"What did you want? Firearms? Drugs? A prostitute?"
"Nothing? I don't see the need to send me a gift and you never did anyway"
"For once someone thinks about you, how about you shut up and just accept it?"
"You know me Shiki-san, I can't accept things that easily, I need to know the reasons behind people's actions"
The executive looked at his watch and sighed,
"I'm hungry, how about we discuss this while eating dinner?"
