Enemies

Captured

"That's an interesting plan. You have my permission to execute it. Also, did Chuuya-kun tell that we have something planned in a few months?"

"Yes, but the details weren't specified, so I would appreciate if you gave me more information on it later. Anyway, I will set my plan into motion, now that I have your permission."

"Good. Maybe notify Dazai-kun about it, so he won't worry too much. And after you finished, would you mind taking Elise out shopping? I want her to choose something she'll like, and I'm going to be quite busy and I also want it to be a surprise."

"Why me...?" She asked slowly.

"Because I trust you will take care of Elise. I'll pay you for it. Well, I wish for your success, Takahashi. You are dismissed." Ren walked out, picking up a piece of paper and going into her office.

Signing the name 'Midnight' at the bottom of the page, she folded up the letter and sealed it, giving it to one of her subordinates and sending a few messages to them and to Kajii. Leaning back in her chair, she heard her phone ringing. At first she ignored it, but the sound slowly crept into the  back of her mind and she sighed, picking it up to see who it was.

"Hello." She said in a monotonous voice.

"Hi Ren." She heard Dazai's voice loudly in her ear and she held her phone away from her face. "How's work?"

"Are you using me as an excuse to not work? I've seen how you work at the Agency. My work is fine, as normal." She typed on her computer, holding her phone between her head and her shoulder.

"I'm totally not. Kunikida-kun, I'm talking to Ren right now so I can't-"

"Now that I've proven my point, I have some work to do because I'm going on an assignment to get a certain organisation off my back, so I won't be back for a few days at most, just to let you know. Uh, love you, bye." She hung up quickly.

Dazai looked dejected and sighed, but was secretly beaming to himself, replaying her last words in his head and totally ignoring everything Kunikida was doing to try to get him to work.

"Kunikida-kun, I heard that yelling makes you age faster and can cause arthritis." He leaned back on the couch as Kunikida began writing furiously in his notebook. "Which is a lie of course."

"DAZAI!"

"Kunikida-kun, do you think Ren would like it if I wore your glasses? Naturally they suit someone like me with natural flair so I guess it would be fine but you should really get some sexier glasses Kunikida-kun-" Dazai plucked Kunikida's glasses off his face and examined them.

"Give those back right now!" He reached over to grab his glasses back but felt something was still missing.

Turning around, Dazai was reading through his notebook, scribbling all over his perfectly calculated schedule and tossing it around for everyone to look at. He looked at Kunikida innocently, who sighed and snatched it back from Atsushi.

"Honestly..."

Standing at the entrance to a building, Ren stepped inside, hearing the doors lock shut behind her, creating a metal wall between her and the outside world.

So they changed the lock. Much less flimsy than last time.

She walked up a set of stairs, looking around, and frowning at the lack of people in the hallways. Turning a corner and pushing a door open, she entered into a small room with a few simple couches and plants, with Tokugawa Masahiro sitting on one of them while being surrounded by bodyguards.

"So you did come, Midnight Shadow. Have a seat." He pointed to the couch, all eyes on her, perfectly vigilant and silent.

Noting the strange bumps in the couch, she dropped a gun onto it, watching heavy metal handcuffs and restraints snap suddenly into place where she would be sitting, and picked up her gun, examining it for any damage.

"So you brought a gun." She pointed it towards him and shot, and identical bodyguards dressed in black moved in front, aiming their machine guns at Ren as the gunshot echoed throughout the room. 

They stopped for a moment when they saw no bullet had been shot, and Ren, without averting her gaze from Masahiro, twirled her gun and put it back into her pocket, crossing her arms and waiting for a response. Looking at the tea that was resting on the table, she pulled out one of her spare guns from her pockets and fired it up at the ceiling, prompting all the bodyguards to immediately start shooting in her direction. Holes were blasted into the walls as she jumped above them, weaving through the air. She jumped, passing over one of the teacups, and took a pill out from her mouth and placed it in the cup in the blink of an eye, landing gracefully and leaping again, positioning it so that she would be right in front of one of the bodyguards.

The couches had been flipped over and everything had turned into chaos until she was caught by one of them, who handcuffed her and held her in front of the couch, as Masahiro took a sip of his tea and turned to her, shaking his head. Her expression remained emotionless, and she silently began undoing the lock with her fingers, leaving them unlocked but keeping them on her wrists.

"Were you trying to be sneaky with me? Nice try. Now, let's see your face, Takahashi." He smirked, pulling down her mask, revealing her face.

"Like what you see?" She raised an eyebrow suggestively, the corner of her mouth quirking up into a smirk.

Turning away to hide his red face, Masahiro clicked his fingers, coughing a few times and standing up straight. After taking a few seconds to compose himself, he spoke to the agents.

"Take her away. Now." His voice seemed to crack as Ren was dragged away, flicking her hair in front of her face to cover it.

The layout of the building hadn't changed, and she made a note of the hallways as she was thrown violently into a room and heard the sound of the door locking. Knowing how much of an emotional person Masahiro was, it wasn't surprising that he'd locked her up without taking her belongings first. Looking around the room, there was one security camera and she walked around a little. It was very simple, with a door with a few bars, a bed, and a vent in the ceiling. She turned off the light, drenching the room in darkness and moved so that the camera could barely distinguish her from the shadows, fiddling around with it.

"Damn I need to remember everything about cameras, so if I adjust that, put that in and remove that then this should work, and I can control that with this." She mumbled to herself, doing something on her phone and turned the light back on, moving towards the door and examining the lock, looking at the type of lock and trying to work out how she would pick it later on.

"Well, let's see if you're working with anyone, Tokugawa Masahiro."

Poor Masahiro's still in love with Ren. 

I decided to write in some Dazai antics for fun and it's almost satisfying when Kunikida's pissed off or maybe I'm just weird. 

The thing Ren puts in Masahiro's tea is something revealed in a later chapter, and when researching the effects... he's not gonna have a good time. She fired a warning shot in the office to provoke them, but the others took it as a threat and that provided enough chaos to put the pill in his drink.

No Masahiro doesn't have an ability.

Started reading JoJo Part 6 recently. Stone Free is a very interesting stand and Jolyne is a badass. What else would I expect from the daughter of Kujo Jotaro?
