Shadows Of The Twilight (Book-I)

Emily's pov :

"You sure, Kunikida is going to be okay?" I asked. "Not sure, but he should be fine" Dazai replied.

The two of us were heading towards our room in my car, with Miss Sasaki on the back seat. I was the one who was driving and with me, Dazai was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Miss Sasaki? Do you need something else? ..I think, we are gonna stop by a grocery shop too." I asked.

She was still in her undergarments and was wearing Dazai's coat as cover and we have decided to buy a dress for her but so far the stores were closed tonight.

"N-no.. it's fine" She said hesitatingly.

It was late night and I stopped the car in a certain place, infront of a shop which was 24×7 open in Yokohama city. It was kinda like a mall with clothes stores too.

"Dazai! Go and bring these" I said handing over a list to him. The list contains a few items of groceries so that we can cook dinner tonight.

"What~ why me?!" He made a annoying face pouting his mouth.

"I don't like the idea leaving you alone in a car with a naked woman in the backseat. So just go and bring it. I am waiting here." I said sharply.

"Huhh.. fine" He whined taking the paper from me and I didn't hear him clear but I realised he scoffed walking inside the shop.

I smiled and we waited there for about 15 minutes when Dazai returns with two bags in both of his hands. He got inside the car putting the bags somewhere in the back seat.

"You got them?" I asked.

"Yup.. but not the dress." He replied and I responded with, "I see." as I started driving again.

"Sorry Miss Sasaki! ..we could have buy you a new pair of clothes.. but it seems most of the stores are closed by now. But don't worry.. I think, I have a extra pair of clothes that I can give you." I said looking at her through the front glass of my car.

"I-it's okay.. you saved my life. That's alot." She smiled.

"It's our duty." I said and then, "Believe me, Miss Sasaki! When I saw you floating down in the tank, my heart was racing. I was so afraid~" Dazai dramatically said holding his chest and Miss Sasaki blushed turning her head to look away.

"You know, I will drop you in the mid street. So just be quite" I scolded which made him slightly flinch.

I parked my car as the three of us reached our apartment. Unlike others in the agency who lives in dorms provided by our agency facilities, Dazai and I have our own flats in the Yokohama city. So once we got there we headed to my flat with Miss Sasaki.
I gave her my pair of clothes and I showed her the guest room while I just went out of my room after changing my clothes into casual dress, and I saw Dazai near the kitchen holding a book in his hand and his another hand was inside his pockets.

The moment he heard the sound of the door opening, he glanced at me, "Heyyy you look good in that outfit" He complimented.

"Nothing is new for you though. You often see me in this dresses when we are in home." I replied walking towards him and I saw him smiling.

"By the way, Have you noticed those photographs? ..It's something weird. Isn't it?" I asked and he let out a 'Huh?' in response glancing at me. "Oh, about that photos that Taguchi gave us?" He asks.

"Hmm, so you did notice them. Pretty fast!" I smiled.

"I can say the same thing to you. Afterall we were partners in the Mafia for a reason" He said with a smirk, "Shhh, don't forget we have a guest here today" I hissed putting my finger on my lips.
