Even though he was still angry at Masaaki for what he'd said Kuro ended up going with him to the repair shop. After all someone else that hadn't said any of that needed help... and he knew he'd want him to help.

At least Masaaki hadn't made him come along- Kuro'd offered.

He heaved a heavy sigh and muttered, "What a pain... aren't you humans supposed to call an ambulance?"

"They must have their reasons- I'm more concerned that Izanami-san's place of work called me and I haven't heard a word from her," Masaaki retorted running down the street.

Thankfully it didn't seem too bad when they arrived at the repair shop. Everyone seemed calm- Masaaki even had to speak to get noticed.

"Ah Masaaki-san- great timing!"

Masaaki stopped short.

"Why do you sound so surprised?" he asked.

"Well Izanami didn't say you'd be... anyway!" the guy interrupted shaking his head. "Maybe you can talk some sense into her as her friend..."

"R- right- Izanami-san," Masaaki echoed shaking himself. "What's up?"

"She's locked herself in Workshop 9 and we've no idea why," the guy explained with a sigh. "All she says is she needs to stop being bothered... we need that room especially since the door to Workshop 4's been jammed..."

"Ah- thanks! We'll sort it out-"

"Hey..."

Masaaki jumped when he heard Kuro's non-cat voice. He whipped around to see the servamp standing there in his human form.

"I'm with him," Kuro explained, pointing at Masaaki. "If a tall guy with paper bags for a head shows up tell him where we've gone okay...?"

"...paper bags for a head?"

"You'll know him when you see him. We'll be going now..."

Kuro dragged Masaaki off.

"HEY!! KURO!! WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WORKSHOP 9 IS!!"

"A- ah! IT'S ON THE LOWER LEVEL, STRAIGHT AHEAD UNTIL THE THIRD LEFT TURN!!"

"THANKS!!"

Kuro stopped dragging Masaaki once they were at the stairs.

"You called Doubt Doubt?"

Kuro nodded. He muttered, "I don't wanna deal with Lily's eve right now... nor do I wanna deal with Lawless... or Old Child for that matter..."

Before Masaaki could ask why, they spotted a metal door labeled "W9".

Masaaki banged on the door as hard as he could. "IZANAMI!! IZANAMI ARE YOU IN THERE?!" he yelled.

What greeted him was... surptising to say the least.

"Masaaki are you here already? Great! Just let me open the door- I've made something I gotta show you!"

He exchanged a surprised look with Kuro. Izanami... didn't sound like she was in trouble at all...

"Hey- are you-"

Masaaki didn't have time to finish before the door opened revealing... Izanami, unhurt and stained by soot in her mechanic gear.

"You're here- and you brought Sloth!" Izanami observed with a smile. "Hi-"

In an instant Kuro had her lifted in the air with his jacket tails, arms pinned to her side.

"Wha- KURO!!"
