How could she possibly refuse somebody who is working so hard for her? Somebody who cares so deeply for her. It was very difficult. She would be a fool to say no.

Yuhi chuckled. "Is that the reason why you agreed?" He said amused. "Well it is better than nothing."

She felt his hands run through her hair and a content sigh passed her lips. "Yuhi, do you think what I am doing is useless?"

"Are you talking about the investigation?"

Sumire nodded. "Ru died from an accident, the police already said so. Even if I found it weird, this case was closed. You know even before I came here I debated about investigating. Ru is gone, when I finally came to terms with that I felt nothing but anger. I recalled bits and pieces of the accident and realized something was strange.

If one were to describe the relationship she shared with Terashima Yuhi. She would describe it as a relationship based on mutual trust. Trust that does not require words or even a single glance. A trust that is silently understood.

Which is why, no matter where she goes. No matter how far apart they are from each other. The trust between them does not change. Her gaze fell on Yuhi who was taking time to reply.

What would he say?

What does she want him to say?

Sumire pressed the space between her eyes suddenly frustrated as something came to mind. Now that she thought about it, Mamoru contacted Yuhi to participate in the investigation before the accident. During that time the two surely met. Sumire wondered why Mamoru did not tell her about meeting Yuhi.

I wanted to meet him too.

For such a long time Sumire wanted to meet Terashima Yuhi, but she refrained from doing so.

Her thoughts broke off when she heard the sound of her phone ringing. Her gaze dimmed when she heard the ring tone. "Yuhi, I am going to take this call outside."

"Sure."

...

Sumire set particular ring tones on her phone for a reason, so she could ignore calls from annoying people. Why would she have their numbers on their phone if she disliked them? There is a fine line between like and dislike. After she avoided him despite seeing him in the hospital not too long ago, Sumire did not want to speak to him. She is glad when the call stopped and instead she received a simple and brief message.

Her gaze fell on the man in front of her. The contents of the message informed her to deal with this person. Kanehera Yujiro, thirty one years and unemployed. He makes a living from affiliate services online. According to certain sources this person has been swindling people online and killing them once he is finished with them. The main victims are young teenage girls her age.

When she found him however he was not alone. Surprisingly she found a man that looked identical, metro - his twin brother.

A deep sigh crossed her lips as she tapped her fingers against the wall impatiently.

It was easier than she thought to corner him.

She has not participated in a proper fight for a long time but how could she possibly forget the moves that person engraved in her body?

When she found this man a few minutes ago, he was engaged in a unspeakable act with a female student. Sumire did not hesitate to hit him.

"Do you not know who I am? I am---"

"The famous online idol ruper?" Sumire used the nickname from his online alias.

"...I know you too. Ibuki Sumire, the demon Princess of the underworld society."

"So you do know. Then that makes things easier for me. Withdraw right now unless you want things to get bloody." Sumire said.

She thought that nobody would recognize her since she was dressed as a student, but it turns out that is not the case. Maybe she ought to go for a more gentle appearance next time.

Yujiro nodded and got down on his knees, causing her to smile. "That's the wise choice."

A relieved sigh passed her lips. Thank goodness, even if it is me. I feel so drained already.

Dealing with this any longer will increase the strain on her body. She Sumire supposed that pulling out the HOLY KNIGHTS emblem is enough for these people to withdraw. The group Holy Knights is an underground society, and like this man said she was a member of that group.

The main reason why she got involved with such a group was due to the accident that caused her to loose her parents. She had nobody else she could turn too.

She was the only one left and she was afraid that people would chase after her too. Back then, she encountered the man named Aki, the leader of the Holy Knights group.

"Wait a second brother you really sh---", yet Kon's words were in vain since she appears in front of the younger brother. Her lips curve to a smile.

"Sorry, but you'll have to sleep for a bit."

So fast, she didn't even see her move. But ahh really, that was a stupid move. Even though Sumire gave them the chance to leave.

In a flash second the brunette haired girl appears behind Kon and pulled out what looked like a small baton, yet she pressed a button and long strands of purple ribbon were coming out.

She threw it in Kon direction, and grabbed his leg - no it seemed like she was using it to fight him. Since the enemy now had fresh wounds and cuts all over his body. So graceful, those movements are...its like she's dancing.

"Ahhh murderer." He used up his bullets and fired none stop.

"You really think selfishly." Sumire said.

The brother soon ran out of flaming bullets. It was obvious where the battle was heading. Sumire wondered why people like this made such stupid attempts. Is it too much for them to understand when they are losing a battle?

"You, and me. We're the monsters called delinquents. Murderers."
