Devil's Wonderland

Nagisa

Halo Fourteen: Nagisa:

Mikado and Masaomi walked back to Mikado's apartment with Chiharu in tow. Masaomi looked at the unconscious angel in his friend's arm.

"Are you okay with carrying her like that?" he asked.

"Uh-huh," Mikado said. Chiharu hadn't stirred once. It was a good thing that the streets were virtually empty in the morning. Masaomi looked around.

"Now what?" he asked. The tadpole boy shrugged his shoulders. Mikado didn't have an answer for that. First, they had to keep her away from the police. The question was how. They could only keep her sedated for so long. She still needed to eat. Boy that was going to be a problem. How many people had she killed in three days? Tens? Hundreds? She would still need to eat more. Therein lies another problem. They couldn't turn to murder, could they?

This would not do.

"We'll have to go Shinra and Celty for that answer," Mikado said at last. Masaomi had a grim look on his friend. His friend reached into his pocket and unlocked the door.

"Where are we keeping her for now?" Masaomi asked. Mikado didn't answer as he opened the door. Chiharu's limbs swayed back and forth as he walked inside with her. The Yellow Scarves shogun followed behind.

-Junko-

The nurse sat back, laughing. She clapped her hands.

"Beautiful! Beautiful!" Junko said. She turned to her interns. Yui and Kawaguchi had small smiles on her face. Hey, their boss was happy today. Who were they to complain?

"We did it!" the nurse said. "F is back!" She threw back her head and laughed.

"Now what?" Yui asked. Junko looked her straight in the eye.

"What else?" she asked. "We have so much to do!" The nurse rose to her feet.

"F needs to evolve," she said. "We need more angels." Her interns looked confused.

"More of them?" Kawaguchi asked.

"Why yes!" Junko said. "We can't make them yet. But I have had plenty of Biddy Early made for us to do." She had a drunk cat smile on her face.

"Have any people in mind that you want to turn?" she asked. The interns stared at her with no answer to give. Their boss waved them off.

"Don't answer right away," she said. "We will have time. Yui, have you contacted them yet?"

"Yes," the intern said. "I let Mayfair-san know that we found the gate."

"Good, good," Junko said. She didn't take her gaze off the intern. Yui looked a little confused.

"Is... something the matter?" she asked. Junko frowned.

"Takase Yui," she said. "You wouldn't be thinking about leaving us, would you?" Kawaguchi turned to his coworker with a stunned look on his face.

"Of course not!" the intern said. The nurse didn't speak at first. She frowned as she narrowed her eyes. On the surface, Yui looked calm. None of the normals spoke. Junko slammed her hand down on the binder.

"Keep this in mind," she said. "Your loyalties lie here with us. If leave, you will not be allowed back. In some cases, we can't trust you not to talk. When that happens..." Junko ran her finger over her throat. Yui and Kawaguchi stared at her with big eyes. The nurse broke into a little smile.

"We don't want to do that," she said. "You all are very valuable to us. Plus, it would be a pain with the paperwork. Understood?" Yui and Kawaguchi nodded. Junko smiled.
