A small yokai ran through the many halls of the facility with a worried expression on their face while they contemplated how the boss was going to react to the news. Sighing the person slowed down and composed themselves in front of the ancient, imposing doors, even outside of the room the smell of alcohol, cigars, and cigarette smoke threatened to overwhelm their nose with the repulsive scent.

Resisting the urge to react to the smells he gripped the knocker and proceeded to knock twice. After a good five minutes the doors began to swing open showing an opulent room filled with luxuries and a well-dressed woman greeted the yokai with a well-rehearsed and friendly voice. “Mr. Hachikami was expecting you, if you will follow me.” She began to walk deeper into the labyrinth that was the Hachikami Estate.
Soon they reached a set of simple doors with two metal handles. “Mr. Hachikami is inside and waiting.” Haru nodded and opened the door before entering after psyching themselves up for this.

Inside was a simple room with two pillows, a desk neat with papers, and a few bookshelves with a glass window overlooking the factory and the city. There was a single man sitting down facing towards Haru with two massive horns, night black hair tied back neatly, in an expensive three-part suit covering most of his red skin and then he began to speak deeply with a booming baritone voice. “Have you found the inchling yet Haru?”

Gulping silently the rat yokai began to speak fiddling with their hands while they spoke. “Sadly N-no, Mr. Hachikami, I’ve sent my best scouts out and we’ve yet to find or hear any word of your missing inchling.” Tensing up the rat didn’t hear anything for a few seconds before calming down waiting for the response from the Yakuza leader.

It was only after a few seconds that Hachikami rose from his sitting position muscles bulging in his suit ready to burst out at a moment’s notice, and then the deep voice boomed with anger. “I heard that you could find anyone in this city and yet I have yet to find the princess in my grasp after a month!”

Steam formed while they exhaled as they stared directly into the rat while they visibly calmed down after that outburst. “Sorry but I must insist you find her and find her quickly or else… Now before let’s get you a drink. I don’t run one of the largest Distilleries in Arcadia and not give samples out to potential customers.” A toothy grin could be seen while the large oni went to get some of his private stash.
“T-thank you Mr. Hachikami.” Before long Haru felt the alcohol begin to burn harshly in the weaker yokai’s veins as they nursed the drink.

Meanwhile Shinmyoumaru was sitting on Seija’s shoulder as the two were walking to school. “Thanks again for helping me out Seija.” The Inchling said with a chipper tone as the school came into view. The Amanojaku nodded as she held the paperwork in her hands. “Don’t mention it.”

People could see the new girl on the “delinquent’s” shoulder before they entered the office before seeing the secretary. “Hello, I have someone who’s moved in nearby that needs to get her paperwork turned in.”

The Secretary looked toward the amanojaku with a withering look knowing her tendencies. “Seija I want you to succeed I really do, I like your mom, you get good grades when you try but if we need to discuss this in private, we can.”

But to the inchling’s surprise Seija relented to the woman partly. “Look I’ll talk but it’s not my place to tell anything I know about my new… acquaintance.” Hearing acquaintance got the secretary to give an honest smile before having it turn into a serious look while she gave a nod to both.

“Alright Seija, I won’t push the issue right now, but I expect you two to give me some answers at some point. I trust you haven’t done anything illegal and I’ll go file the paperwork.” Grabbing the paperwork, she began to put it into the database before handing Seija a pass to the two’s class.

“And one last thing, while we work out Sukuna’s schedule she will be taking the you’re taking. Now go along before the teachers get snappy with you.” Waving them off the secretary the two proceeded to head to their next period among the various whispers and whatnot about Seija.

“Are you sure it’s alright Seija?” Noting the voices talking mostly about Shinmyoumaru being the amanojaku’s new punching bag, the amanojaku looked over to her… she didn’t know what Shinmyoumaru was to her but she was something; and decided to flash a mixture between a hurt expression and a worried one before quickly changing it back to her normal rough look.

“Yea, it’s mostly gossips and false information, but that’s to be expected. Though I would suggest that you find some friends before the gossip rag gets around to talking about you interacting with me.” Entering one of the rooms Seija set the inchling down on the floor and let her grow in size before handing the pass to the teacher who simply grumbled at the woman in the untidy school outfit. Sitting down the two began to get involved in the class as this was the start of a relationship that would change both their lives for the better or worse no one would be able to tell.
