The The STN-J, Raven's Flat Offices. Tokyo, Japan [12.22]

[dojima_hime]

There had been an Inquisitor, sent from Rome, in Tokyo. Zaizen had, of course, ordered the Chief to keep all Hunters and support staff away from the man, except for Robin and Amon, who were to be his escort. Karasuma and Sakaki were sent out to bring in the subject. Ditzy Dōjima, of course, was sent to investigate other Witch sightings and scope out some locations, keeping her loud-mouth as far from the Inquisitor from Headquarters as possible.

Which was perfectly fine with Yurika, as she had no desire to get anywhere near someone from Headquarters who could possibly ID her as one of Juliano's operatives.

It had apparently gone as well as could be expected, although a Hunt order had soon been served on the man the Inquisitor had supposedly been sent to appraise as a potential Hunter. More disturbing was the fact that the priest had apparently been Robin-chan's Inquisitor, and Yurika knew damn well that there was no such thing as coincidence when Juliano was involved.

Things had gone back to normal after that, or at least as normal as they ever were at the STN-J. Dōjima was still looking for her slippery-Witch target, one she was beginning to doubt existed, and so she'd brought along a friend. Or, rather, a boyfriend. On her investigation. In her defense, it made her look less like a cop, and more like someone's worried sister looking for a family member. But even Hunters and their assistants needed to eat, and eventually they'd headed back to the STN-J, where there was usually take-out from Harry's laying around.

Romeo reached for Yurika's hand as he put the pieces together. "We should go there," he said. "Maybe especially if Amon wouldn't want us to."

"Trap?" Sakaki was asking as Karasuma dragged him along in her wake.

"Trap," she confirmed, not stopping. "Dōjima, give Michael everything you have on this supposed Witch, including locations Amon's had you scouting. Maps, suspects, informants, everything."

"Hai!" Yurika waited until Michael and Karasuma were discussing check-in times before turning to Romeo. "We'll go out in a bit," she said in a low voice. "Once Michael gets focused on his work, and they can't forbid me from taking a non-Hunter into a situation like this."

Romeo visibly restrained the urge to pout. He knew he wasn't trained, he knew he'd be putting himself at risk, but there was still that basic impulsive urge to get the bad guys.

"As you wish, of course," he said, but with folded arms that made it clear he didn't really feel that way. "Are you sure they'd even notice where I am?"

"I have to update Michael, aijin," she pointed out. "He's going to notice if the only other American in the office suddenly goes missing and then I take off too."

"Let Miho and Haruto deal with the legwork for us. We're going to play detective on the bullet."

Romeo had to admit Yurika had a point, and he nodded reluctantly. "All right," he said in a low voice. "We'll get some dinner, you can do whatever you need to do, and then play detective?"

He sounded hopeful on the last bit.
