Rain, Rain, Go Away

Working with the young detective was going to prove to be more invigorating for Shippou than anything he'd done in a long time. And with that thought in his head, he smiled. "Fret not. Now, Detective-Chan, please; It has been many many years since I have been to Tokyo. I would be very thankful to you if you'd be so kind as to give me a tour of the city."

"But, Mizushima-sama, I'm on the clock." she protested. "And there is so much work to be done!"

He just laughed, standing up and extending his hand to her from across the desk. "Work may begin tomorrow. Today let us see what there is to see. You never know, Detective-Chan, it might do some good to get out of the office for a change and really walk around."

she sighed, rubbing her brow. "If we don't find him now, Mr. Mizushima-sama, then there really will be no hope."

"Shippou." He corrected, smile growing. "And I'll carry you out of this room if I have to, Detective-Chan. It won't kill you to have fun for once. And we'll even visit some museums; scope out places he might hit if that makes you feel better about wasting the time."

Her eyes narrowed at him. "Leg work."

He made a 'come hither' gesture with his hand, and after a long moment of engaging in a staring contest, she finally relented, grabbing hold of his hand and allowing him to tow her to her feet.

"Fine. Fine. I'll play tour guide, but just this once; then its back to work, do you understand me, Mizushima-sama?"

"Shippou," He corrected. "And of course Detective-Chan."

Note: So much to do, so little time to do it. Here's a chapter to tide you over until my next day off of work.
