The small beats from Dazai headphones could be heard throughout the office. The beeping of computers and scribbling of pencil on paper were the only other sounds. Soft chattering could also be heard in at the ADA, everyone doing their work.

Y/n casually looked through the paperwork he was assigned. He was glad that none of the police stations have called him in for his help today. He guessed that today was going to be a quiet and slow day.

Y/n raised a brow when a piece of paper had caught his eyes. 'Hunting Dogs' was what the title said. Y/n furrowed his brows, not liking how a high governmental group had contacted the ADA for an unknown reason. He put the paperwork in a drawer, telling himself that he will show Fukuzawa about that situation later.

Dazai hummed happily as he was listening to his music, probably about suicide if Y/n had to guess. He had forced Y/n to let him lay down in his lap. So, Dazai now is in the luxury in Y/n's laps, using Y/n's thighs as pillows.

Kunikida wasn't paying attention to what Dazai and Y/n were doing. He knew that Y/n was doing his paperwork, and Dazai was being lazy as always. He sighed as he got up from his seat and went to the other side of the room to print out some paper.

Suddenly, Y/n and Dazai felt a shiver go down their spines. It seemed that both of them saw the other freeze up for a second, as well. Dazai and Y/n glanced at each other, one with a concern expression, the other with a look of recognition. They both nodded to each other.

"Dazai, will you get to work already...?" Kunikida called out, only to turn to Dazai and see neither him nor Y/n where he last saw them, "Huh?"

Naomi was shot. Tanizaki went into a rage. Now, they are both bleeding out dying. Atsushi eyes turned into one's like a beast. The two mafia members, one holding guns, the other a skill user, were ready to fight and kill.

Atsushi had encountered Akutagawa while following the blonde-haired women. It turned out, there was no gang, there was no company. The blonde women, Higuchi, works under Akutagawa. She had led the young detectives into a trap, and Atsushi could do nothing to help but rage.

"RASHOMON!" Akutagawa called out his skill as the cloth on his person turned sharp.

Rashomon rushed to Atsushi, who was in his tiger form, as Atsushi rushed towards Akutagawa, almost with a full intent to kill. Rashomon was sharper, however, and cut Atsushi's tiger body in half, but he regenerated.

Akutagawa's eyes widened when he saw the speed of Atsushi's regeneration. Atsushi's tiger roared with rage and displeasure. Its skin had bubbled up to reform itself back to normal. A painful process, but the pain was washed away with emotion.

"Akutagawa-senpai!" Higuchi shouted.

Akutagawa threw an arm in front of his subordinate, "Get back, Higuchi," He ordered, "This is nothing you could handle."

Atsushi's tiger kept trying to attack Akutagawa, at one point going after Higuchi. Akutagawa was lucky to have save Higuchi just in time but did not kill the tiger. After all, he needed that tiger alive as bait and reward. The boss knew how much the 'weapon' cares for Atsushi.

Atsushi's tiger and Akutagawa skidded to a stop, both on either side of the alleyway with the siblings and Higuchi either passed out or were watching helplessly. Atsushi growled and got ready to pounce as Akutagawa glared with a crazed smile as he released Rashomon once more.

"You know, it's considered rude to fight others."

Just as Atsushi and Akutagawa were about to hit or injure the other, they were both slammed to the ground. A matter of dark (f/c) * pushed their head to the ground, shocking both of the boys. The shock was so strong that Akutagawa forcefully retreated Rashomon as his eyes turned white, and Atsushi turned back into his normal form.

"H-How..." Akutagawa stuttered as he weakly tried to look up, his eyes then widened, "Y-You-!!"

Y/n hummed as he was standing in the middle of a passed out Atsushi and a trembling Akutagawa, "No wonder you looked familiar..." He muttered.

Akutagawa gritted his teeth, "RASHO-"

"Uh-uh, I don't think so, Akutagawa," A familiar cheery voice cooed out as they poked Akutagawa's forehead, "Don't even think about it~"

"You're from the detective agency!" Higuchi claimed, taking a step back, "Why are you two-?!"

"I have a bad tendency to be wary of fetching young girls," Dazai teased, "so I did a little recording~!"

Higuchi checked her pockets and pulled out a microphone that was put there when Dazai was trying to 'seduce' her, "N-No! A bug?!"

Y/n let out a small sigh, which was loud enough for Higuchi to turn towards him, "Although I didn't approve of it, you were being a little bit too suspicious for my liking," He said, "I should know. I do the paperwork for upcoming crimes and commissions."

Y/n glanced down at the knocked-out Atsushi by his feet. He crossed his arms with a small frown on his face. He then looked up and his eyes meet with Akutagawa. Although Akutagawa couldn't see Y/n's eyes because of his hair, he could definitely feel them on him. He flinched lightly.

"So right from the start..." Higuchi said dejectedly, "...you two saw through my whole plan?"

"Right you are!" Dazai cheered.

"Sorry, ma'am, but if you're going to try acting like a businesswoman, I think you need to observe real businesswomen first," Y/n stated with a slightly cocky smile, "Observing who you're trying to imitate is key for acting purposes."

Dazai crouched down to Atsushi, "Come on Atsushi, get up! I would prefer not to have to carry three people home! I'm sure Y/n will but we don't want to overwork him, now do we?"

Y/n slightly furrowed his brows, "Be nice to him, Dazai..."

"Ugh..." Atsushi groaned out.

"W-Wait!! I can't let you two go alive!!" Higuchi shouted as she pointed a gun at Y/n's head, however she was stopped.

"Stop Higuchi," Akutagawa ordered, "You cannot defeat them."

"Akutagawa-senpai!! But-!!"

"We will retreat for now, Dazai-san," Akutagawa announced, "However, we in the mafia will have that man-tiger's head ere long."

"Why is that?" Dazai questioned.

Akutagawa glanced down at the dazed Atsushi, "Simple, that man-tiger... had a reward of seven billion yen on the black market. More than enough cash to control the underground."

"Well!" Dazai said in surprise, "Quite the bonanza, eh?"

Y/n let out a low whistle of amazement, "I could retire with that amount of money," He said, jokingly.

Akutagawa's glare shifted to Y/n, "Don't think that you're safe, L/n Y/n."

"Huh?" Y/n peeped out as he tilted his head in confusion, which made Dazai giggle a little.

"You're so cute when you do that, darling," Dazai teased as he poked Y/n's cheek softly.

Akutagawa grumbled at the lack of attention, "Our boss wants L/n Y/n, all to himself. He will be useful to the mafia, so I suggest that retiring isn't something on your list, L/n..."

"You don't say..." Y/n muttered, straightening his back.

Dazai couldn't help but glare at Akutagawa because of his words. He didn't like that fact that the boss of thee Port Mafia was after Y/n. What use would Y/n be for that man? What is the reason for hunting down Y/n? Atsushi had a reason, but why Y/n?"

"I will call upon your agency again sometime," Akutagawa claimed, "If you can hand me seven billion when I do, then all is well. But if you cannot..."

Dazai clap his hands, "Then war it is, correct? With our agency? Well, superb! See you then!" He cheered, before his expression turned dark, "I should relish seeing you succeed... if you can."

"It would be troublesome if you did succeed, hmm..." Y/n hummed to himself as he was in fact thinking, "I would be working overtime if you do..."

Akutagawa only glared at the two detectives in front of him, Higuchi irked at the words of disrespect, "You're a piddling detective agency!" She claimed, "We comprise practically the entire underground in this city!

"We retain control over several dozen companies in our group, we have roots in every conceivable branch of this town's politics and economy!! What could a handful of detectives ever do?! We will reduce your office to a pile of ask within three days! Nobody has ever dared to defy us and lived to tell the tale!!"

Y/n yawned as Dazai scratched the back of his head, "Yes, yes," He boredly said, "So I have been told."

"Indeed," Akutagawa stated, calmly as if he had won this argument, "You should know that better than anyone else... as ex-mafia, Dazai-san."

Dazai narrowed his eyes at Akutagawa but kept his smile. He didn't like the fact that he just reveled that he was part of the mafia in the pass to Y/n. Honestly, Dazai wanted to tell that to Y/n personally when the time is right. But now, he doesn't know how Y/n will react.

"Ooo!" Y/n cooed as he put his fist into his palm in realization, "I knew it!"

Dazai chuckled at the two mafia's surprised expression as he turned to Y/n, "I thought you already knew, dear Y/n!" He played off.

Y/n only yawned, "I had my suspicions, but I honestly thought you were an assassin before, not part of the Mafia. I'm kinda glad that you were in the Mafia instead of an assassin though."

"W-What??" Akutagawa stuttered slightly at the reaction from Y/n, "You... You're not disgusted at Dazai-san? You're not disgusted or in fear at the fact that he was part of the Mafia, the agency's greatest enemy??"

"Disgusted?" Y/n hummed at the word as he leaned his head on Dazai's shoulder, making his chuckle silently, "I don't think that's a reason to be 'disgusted'. Besides, does it matter what Dazai did in the past? As long as he's making up for it by saving people now, Dazai will always be seen as a good person to me. You are being nice, are you?"

Dazai cooed at Y/n, "Of course I am~"

Akutagawa stared at Y/n for a second. He was in shock of Y/n's words. To think that someone like Y/n could accept Dazai so fast, even after learning about his pass, brings a little warmth to Akutagawa's heart. He could feel his cheeks heat up for a moment as he had to push down a blush.

"Is this why you date me~?"

Akutagawa and Higuchi fell from shock that Dazai was dating Y/n.

Y/n scoffed as he playfully smacked Dazai's arms, making Dazai laugh, "We are not dating, Dazai. Stop giving people the wrong ideas!"
