3. "Then even amid the darkness on this long, hilly road..."

"Will you join us in the Armed Detective Agency?"
"Hehhh?!" Atsushi cries, and I raise an eyebrow.
"Armed Detective agency?"
"We both work there. I think it's the perfect job for you, the pay is good, and you can have a dorm room along with food expenses all covered." Dazai goes on, waving for us to follow him outside.
"Also, your ability can really help us out." He glances back to me, and Atsushi and I stop walking. Atsushi and Dazai waits for me to reply, and I look back to the café. The owners would have to pay a lot of money for the renovations because of what Akutagawa did.
Was I ready for such a big responsibility?
"Thankyou, Dazai-san, Atsuhi-kun. But I don't think I want to join it. I mean, I'm suicidal and it's not like I'm looking for a job."
Atsushi's face drops, and Dazai eyes me for a minute before folding his arms.
"Well, we can't force you to join it. But why don't you come with us to change?" He points to my soaked clothes.
"Uh that's oka-"
"Please?" Atsushi begs. He looks like a little puppy, and I raise both my hands up in defeat.
"Okay."
Dazai begins to walk again and Atsushi smiles. "Shall we go?"
I nod and we follow Dazai to a red colored building a couple blocks away.
"Akiko-san, can you lend Kira-chan some clothes?" Dazai says, entering a room.
"Akiko-san is really good at combat. Plus, her ability helps heal a person who is fatally wounded." Atsushi whispers.
That's a powerful ability!
A woman stands up from one of the desks, and walks up to Dazai. She has short black hair with bangs, secured with a gold butterfly barrette on the left side of her hair. She is wearing a white shirt tucked into a knee-length back skirt with matching leggings, paired with and odd red pair of heels.
"Dazai, did you pick up another useless brat like that Brat?" A man around the age of Dazai follows the woman. The man has yellow hair tied to a pony tail, which hung freely up to at least his hip length. He has soft grey eyes hidden behind a pair of rectangular glasses, and he is holding a book that reads 'Ideal'. He wears beige pants and a beighe vest, which is over a black shirt. He has on a red tie tied to the front and hung loose, and Dazai puts both hands on the man's shoulders.
"Now, now Kunikida-kun, I have something to show you, come along. Atsushi-kun, I'll leave Kira-chan in your care!"
"Eh, me?!" Atsushi cries, before Dazai drags the man outside.
"So, clothes huh?"
"Please, Akiko-san!"
"Alright, I'll be back in a minute." She smiles at me and walks off.
"Um..."
"Ah. That's Yosano Akiko. The man who left is Doppo Kunikida-san. His ability helps him bring anything he writes down on his book. But that thing has to be the size of his book, like a wire gun or stun gun."
Useful for combat!
"And uhm. Sitting over there playing with a marble is Edogawa Ranpo-san."
The man has black spiky hair and is wearing a white shirt with a black vest, and a brown hat with a matching cloth over his vest. He keeps his eyes closed, and I am unable to take note of which color his eyes are.
"Ranpo-san doesn't have an ability. He's just really smart, and can solve any police case after he goes through a couple clues."
Someone who doesn't have an ability huh?
But damn, wow, this agency is literally full of people with amazing abilities!
"There's still Tanizaki-san, Naomi-san, and Kenji-san."
"Girl, here. They aren't very new, but I think they're the ones that'll fit you best." Atsushi and I turn to face Akiko waking up to us. From up close, I see that she has big purple eyes, and she is insanely pretty. I feel myself shudder.
"Thank you, Akiko-san!" I say, holding the bag she hands.
"What's your ability?" She asks.
"She can shower a supercool downpour rain to clear out any scene in seconds! She's so cool!" Atsushi is obviously more excited about my power than I am.
"Ah that's nice. Well, I hope you have a good time when you join the Agency." She says, and walks over to Ranpo.
Atsushi gives me a little nervous smile.
"Here, let me show you a place where you can shower." He motions for me to follow him, and we walk over to a washroom in the same floor.
"Everything you need will be there. I'll meet you outside after a shower too, Kira-san." Atsushi smiles before he walks to the washroom next door.
I take in a deep breath. All the Agency members' abilities are overwhelming!
I take a quick shower and put on the pale green blouse and forest green pencil skirt that Akiko-san had loaned me. Drying out my hip-length brown hair, I brush it a couple times, and fold my clothes, putting them in the laundry basket.
When I walk outside, Atsushi is sitting beside the washroom, tapping on his cellphone.
"Ah, Kira-chan you look as amazing as ever in those pretty clothes!" A familiar voice says, before Atsushi can say anything else.
We turn around and see Dazai rushing up to us.
"It's really late now, we have no choice but to let you stay here till tomorrow morning, Kira-san!"
"Um but..."
"Dazai-san is right, it's not safe out. Especially since Akutagawa wants to capture you."
"Like I said, I don't mind-"
"Come on!" Dazai takes hold of my hand.
"Goodnight, Atsushi-kun!" He waves, and drags me down the stairs. From behind us, we could hear Atsushi saying a loud "Ehhhhhhhhh?!"
"D-Dazai-san?!"
"You're a year older than Atsushi-kun, s you can drop the –san. Dazai is fine!" He gives a thumbs up as we run one flight of stairs down.
"Here we are!" He enters a room on the floor, and when I follow him in, he closes the door.
"Welcome to my home sweet home!" He says in a sing song voice.
I glance at where I stood, and am shocked to see books about committing suicide all around in the shelves, and bandage is everywhere.
"I guess you can understand why Kunikida-kun calls me bandage hoarder!" He laughs, clearing the floor a bit, picking up the stray pieces of bandage around. He then reaches for a futon lugged behind the bed.
"I'd love to give you your own room to stay, but that takes permission and I can't go against Kunikida-kun for that."
He sits cross-legged in front of the futon he laid out, then turns to look at me.
"So for tonight, will you be alright with joining me to sleep?"
