Tachibana Palace

Arrest

Tachibana takes Tori to his friends place, which is where he gets his hair cut, "Ready for your first hair cut?" Tori nods munching on a guava roll while Tachibana tries to figure out what cut would suit him.

He walks into the room and the blonde female turns towards him and crosses her arms.

"Your hair is a mess, where have you been? Is it your new girl?"

"Keep your cool Camellia I was on a business trip, and watch what you say about her you just might get on my bad side."

"Like you have a good one, this your boy?"

Tachibana nods looking around the place decorated with posters of different hairstyles on the walls.

He sees a section specifically for toddler cuts, Tori has wild spikey hair that just bombs out no matter what you do confusing Tachibana on which hairstyle to choose, "Hey, do you have a way to tame his wild hair?"

"Yeah, I can pull off a messy wavy hairstyle it suits him."

"Cool, I'll go with my usual cut." He takes a seat next to Tori who is still more invested in his roll than reality, while Tachibana wonders what Yuno is up to either then studying of course.

Yuno watches Ackerman reaching for his phone and snatches it from him throwing it at the watch dog. "The hell, Lin?"

"We're not calling him nor are we leaving yet I haven't found anything. So, we're going to trap that mutt in a room and keep searching."

"Remind me again what has you convinced I will let you go ahead with your stupid plan?"

"Our friendship." Yuno looks at him and he chuckles carrying her over his shoulder.

"Yeah, between our friendship and my fear of Ken Tachibana babe, our friendship ain't shit, now stay put." He runs around the place with Yuno grabbing whatever she can get her hands on as they leave. Ackerman starts the car and drives to the Palace.

The so called watch dog giggles, a silhouette on the peach coloured wall with a feminine figure and slim shape forming as the dog's shadow is now the shadow of a woman.

"A ring around the roses, pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, you will all burn down." The silhouette figure sings looking around the house some more repeating the same song over and over again. 

She has a sweet voice with black alluring eyes and natural dark eye lashes, a nose piercing, phoenix tattoo on her neck and a purple charm necklace stands out as it starts to glow.

"Ashes on the water, Ashes on the sea, you will all burn down, one to three." She sings a different verse walking into Ken's room breathing in his scent. "I smell trouble." 

Yuno shudders looking back at the direction they just came from. "Something wrong?" Ackerman asks.

Yuno nods, "We left the house, but I can't remember, why?"

Ackerman turns to Yuno realising he doesn't remember why either, "We're not going back anyway." Yuno nods relaxing in her seat.

Before they get inside the Palace they go over whatever they took with them, Ackerman found a journal written by someone who goes by the name of, Hitoshi Tachibana and a photo album.

Yuno grabbed a statue, locket, keys and a hard drive which is pretty impressive considering she nearly dropped them all.

"If Ken finds out I'm blaming all this on you." Ackerman points a finger and leaves Yuno with the stuff.

She groans expecting a little help carrying her treasure inside but she's all alone for the next part. She notices Tachibana's car pulling up in the drive way and hides everything under the seats locking the doors and walking into the Palace.
