"I am from the Special Division of Unusual Powers. I'll look into this case instead of Sakaguchi-san. I'll be in your care, Saigiku-san." A bow is a customary. Everyone knew to perfect it just for formality.

"Please just call me Jouno. I swear, the Special Division is full of stiff people." The blonde sighed.

You only heard of them, the Hunting Dogs. A group that is considered the most powerful unit of the government. You only met one of them, Saigiku Jouno, the King of Avidyā. Nothing can escape from him with his keen senses befitting of a hunting dog.

That is why you found it strange for him to call for back-up after an alleged escape of a dangerous ability user. Something is off from the moment Ango requested you to cover for him in this case.

This is how you found yourself tracking the escaped criminal.

"So the criminal escaped right after he asked for the restroom? Where were you then?" You calmly asked. There is no point in reprimanding him, considering how he was in a much higher position than an agent like you.

"I was watching the horse race. I can't help it when the horse I betted on is in the lead." Your sweat dropped. Is this really a member of the famed Hunting Dogs? You just sighed at his statement.

"I'll let my men check in the surrounding area, is there any nearby places that are somehow related to the criminal?" You questioned. It was better safe to be aware of any threats beforehand.

"Not that I know of." Jouno said.

You bid him farewell after he answered the continuing questions that followed. After a few steps away, he stopped you with a smile.

"Now that I think about it, It is possible that he may be enjoying himself aa cup of coffee right now." He smirked, hidden from your view.

"Thank you, I'll start in the nearest cafe then." You didn't questioned his sudden input, you've dealt with much more worse after working in this division.

The trip to the nearest cafe didn't take too long but none leads were found so far. After the fourth cafe you inspected, there are still none. You bit the nail of your left thumb.

"Where could he be?" You shaked your head and started deep breathes. "I can't mull over this! I'll have to find him before he got away!."

This why you became part of the division. You can't handle any ability users escaping from the law just because their superior in terms of ability.

The distaste for ability users started when one of your friend was killed right in front of you by one of them. You can only watch as the culprit slit your friend's throat again and again.

Despite of his crime, he was left untouched by the police because of his ability. He twisted the others' memory and cleared himself of suspicion. But only the original scene is still fresh in your mind. Why? Because you're immuned to any other abilities. Any ability that touched even a strand of your hair will be useless.

You touched your throat, shivering as you remembered the same blade that brought shivers in your entire being.

"I found it."

The chatting customers filled the background noise. The soft color of the painted walls matched well with the café's theme. It was a nice place, too bad that you're here for work.

You first asked the manager. You were troubled once more when they got no clue about the criminal's whereabouts.

A tug on your blazer caught your attention. It was the barrista that handed you a strip of paper, saying that an anonymous man told him to give it to you.

'Yokohama Bay Bridge by 4 in the afternoon. Alone.'

You gritted your teeth. So the mouse wants to play a game? You'll happily gave him that.

Glancing at your watch, you got 37 more minutes for the given venue. You wasted no time to head for the bridge.

«∆»

You started to run at the sight of the bridge, gripping the gun in its holder once you came closer and closer.

You took out the gun, aiming for the head of the shadowed figure.

"Special Division of Unusual Powers. You are hereby under arrest for the crimes of fraud, extortion and many more. Place yourr hands in-" Your tight hold on the gun weakened at the sight in front of you.

"D-dazai?!! What are you doing here you idiot!! I'm working right now, I don't have time for your crap-umpf!" His lips fell heavily on yours. His tounge quickly made way into your mouth. You patted against his back, a sign for him that you need to take a breather. Dazai finally let got when you're on the brink of passing out.

You were still in a daze, gently wiping the slight drool with the back of your hand. While locking the safety of the gun, you put it back in the holder.

"Wha...What was that for?" Deep breathes made your erratic heart put into calm beats.

"I just wanted to see you!" Dazai chirped happily at you. You flushed at his words.

"Idiot! I swear, I'll lose my job someday because of you! Do you know how much time you stalled from me right now?!!" You surely popped a vein in your head at your burst at him.

"Hehehe, 'love you too?" He smiled as if he didn't do anything wrong. You sighed, beginning a row of insults to come up for him in your next outburst.

"You-!" Clapping sounds emitted from your surroundings.

"Such a beautiful sight to behold. A lover's quarrel is truly thee best entertainment there is!" You recognized the voice already.

"Jouno-san! I apologize, I'll get back to my post immediately." You bowed, getting down from the bridge. A hand stopped you from returning.

"Don't go. Please." Dazai said, almost sounded like a beg but you know better than to assume that the 'great' Dazai Osamu begged.

"How funny. A murderer turned into a mere puppy in front of his lover. I thought you knew better than to hide something, Dazai? Especially from a loved one at that." The hunting dog mused. Grinning at the quick glare the bandaged male sent him.

"Jouno-san, what are you talking about..?" You frozed, pupils shaking from disbelief.

"Surely Dazai wouldn't do that! I know that he may be questionable at times but I know he wouldn't dare harm anyone. He's in the Detective Agency for heaven's sake! Isn't that right, Dazai?" You searched the brunette's face for any confirmation you can find, but his gaze was hidden by the shadows of the twilight.

"Is that so? Then explain this." He brought a manila folder from the insides of his coat. "Dazai Osamu. Comitted 138 murders, 312 cases of extortion, and 625 cases of fraud, along with various and sundry other crimes." Jouno recited.

"Do you still not believe me? If this goes on like this, I'll have to arrest you too for aiding a criminal like him." Your hand hovored over the gun resting in its holder.

The slightest clicks metal was heard before a huge noise exploded from the muzzle. Your actions pleased the hunting dog as he was grinning widely the entire time.

"I will administer justice." The slightest shake of your voice appears when you saw your lover's bleeding shoulder. "Dazai Osamu, you are under arrest. It's best for you to remain silent." Your steady hold on your gun wavers ever so slightly.

"Ability: Yesterday's Shadow Tag." The shadows creeped and turned until finally binding Dazai.

"Good job, L/n-senpai! I'll take it here from now." Tsujimura Mizuki, a fellow co-worker shyly smiled at you.

"H-how?" You asked, after seeing the shadows didn't dispersed from touching Dazai's skin.

"Ability Singularity. It happens when similar abilities clashed each other in which, cancels out either ability. Your ability overpowered his, in result, Tsujimura can now bind Dazai with her own ability." Jouno explained. "Then, I am now certain that your ability is also active at all times, correct?"

"Y-yes..." You blinked, desperately stopping the tears to form in order to remain professional.

You turned to Dazai, who was being haandcuffed by Tsujimura. "Is there anything else you'll have to say to me..?" You asked at him, hands clenching the gun that shot him. He remained silent. Your hope faded bit by bit every second.

"Yes. There is." He finally said. Tsujimura read the mood and excused herself. She also forces Jouno to give you the privacy that the both of you need.

"I'll prove to you someday that I'm better than before, so please...just wait for me. I love you." Dazai said, smiling for you once more.

"How could you?! How could you ask for something like that?!! I'm not a fool!! Is that what you truly see me as?!! A delusional woman that'll listen to your every whim?! A woman that believes in happily ever afters after all she have been through?!!" You cried out, cheeks turning by the amount of tears you've poured.

"I love you DazaI, I really do. How can you do this to me...?" He can't bear the sight of your sadness. As much as he wants to wipe away your tears, he can't. He deserved this. A filthy being that abnormalized the world, that's what he is.

So he can only listen to you sniffles as you composed yourself.

"I'll wait for you. If that's what you want, I will. For the sake of my own mentality." You stated, forming your own resolve.

The moment was interrupted by the wailing sirens. Your time with each other is up, it is now the time to face reality's cruel farce.

"Until the time we meet again."
