She took a step back, shaken by the comment. She gathers her emotions to say one last thing, "Neither would Dazai-san."
Akutagawa's eyes widened, summoning Rashoumon. Kyouka attempted to summon Demon Snow, feeling a hand on her back. "Please stop fighting.." Atsushi said with a distressed expression.
Akutagawa scoffed again, he walked over to the tiger boy. "Atsushi, stay out of this." Atsushi shook his head. "Please. It hurts me to see you two arguing. And if you got your abilities involved you could hurt each other!" Atsushi cried.
Akutagawa shook his head, "We'll be fine. Do not worry, weretiger." Atsushi groaned, he grabbed Akutagawa's hand. "Please, Aku. For me?"
Akutagawa suddenly felt his face heat up immensely. He sighed, "Fine." In a few seconds Rashoumon was put away.
He disconnected his and Atsushi's hands. "Only for you.." He muttered softly. Atsushi smiled as Akutagawa left the hallway, walking towards the kitchen.
"Sorry about that, Kyouka." Atsushi said softly. "It's fine." Atsushi nodded, he was about to leave when Kyouka grabbed his wrist.
"Atsushi, you need to stop associating with Akutagawa before something happens. You don't know if he has alternative motives or not. Please be safe." Atsushi sighed softly, "Everything is fine, Kyouka. You don't have to look out for me." He took both of Kyouka's hands in his own. "I'm alright. You don't have to worry."
Kyouka sighed as well, "If you say so.." Atsushi smiled, moving to meet Akutagawa in the kitchen, Kyouka following after.
"Akutagawa." Kyouka looked him in the eyes. "Let's make a deal. I will be civil with you, in return you keep Atsushi safe. If you hurt him, I will kill you. No mercy.
"Deal."

MAR 14TH 6:59 AM
Kyouka closed her eyes, tired of thinking. If she didn't get ready soon, she would most definitely be late. She didn't want to get yelled at by Kunikida.
She slowly sat up from her futon, noticing how Atsushi wasn't up yet. She walked over to Atsushi's closet. Slowly opening the door, she noticed something. He was gone.
"Huh." She muttered softly under her breath. Kyouka grabbed her phone from a nearby charger. She flipped it open and clicked on Atsushi's contact.
Today 7:08
Where are you, Atsushi?
Delivered
After a few seconds of waiting, she closed her phone and began getting ready for work. She had just finished putting her kimono on when she got a text from Atsushi.

After a few seconds she replied again
Did you tell Kunikida-san you

He would be angry if you aren't there without notice.

Kyouka smiled, closing her phone. She grabbed her set of keys, heading off to the Agency's office.

"It's a shame. Although Akutagawa-kun was a nuisance at times, he was sufficient in his missions." Mori sighed.
"I'm considering starting a search party for him. We don't know if we'll need him anytime soon. He is a useful asset, and if we want him back now would be the best time." He said. "Would anybody be up for it?" He asked.
There was a moment of silence. "No one? Guess ill probably just assign a lower ranking member to find him." He sighed again.
A few minutes later a soft knock is heard at the door. "You called for me, Boss?" A feminine voice, belonging to Higuchi asks. "Ah, yes, I did. I want you to help in the search for Akutagawa, Higuchi-kun." Mori responded.
"He's missing!?" She was immediately startled. "I guess you could put it like that. Akutagawa-kun quit, but we might need him in the near future, so we can not allow him to leave."
"I will find him." She nodded. "Very well. Chuuya-kun, I want you to help in this mission, as well. Since Akutagawa-kun went to you about quitting, I believe you may know a thing or two about where he went. I want you to find Akutagawa-kun and bring him back by April. It's an order." Both Chuuya and Higuchi bowed, "Yes, sir."
"You may all be dismissed."
(sorry this took so long to come out. i was originally planning to make it a lot longer but i've been too tired and busy to write lately so take this for now.)
