Chuuya

It had to be that we were incompetent. That we were just fools who always screwed up our main objectives.

It's always been the same thing ever since the start.

Protect Yoko Tawada.

And yet we can't even do this one simple thing. Akutagawa recovered fast as always, yet when he finally woke up it didn't take long for him to ask where she was.

And we knew. We knew exactly where she was.

The Armed Detectives Agency.

I admit, I don't despise the fact that they took her in. The Agency has a member with a tremendous ability that allows almost instant recovery from life-threatening injuries.

The only thing I was uneasy about, was what their next move was.

They could've used her as a bargaining chip, turn her in, try to get secrets out of her. The options were endless.

Yet, they just gave her up. I stood in the damp, dark tunnel, and there she was walking toward me. She seemed deep in thought. Something was on her mind and we most likely wouldn't like the outcome.

"How's Akutagawa?" She asked.

"He's perfectly fine. But what about you? Did they do anything weird to you?"

Yoko gave me an incredulous glare. "You give the Agency no credit. Just like Ryu."

I wanted to know the reason behind it. For what purpose did they need Yoko so much? And why didn't they abuse the power they had?

We're all aware the extent that Akutagawa would go to for her safety.

So why? Why let the embers simply die?
