\_The other night wasn’t exactly a success….in any aspect. Cho almost had the perp but he never found the victim of the attack. Form his apparent words they were still at large and alive. Cho sat at his desk in the KPD office with his arms folded across the desk and his upper body leaning over it. He had a somber look on his face due to the fact that he felt like he failed friend. Someone he used to know anyway. Chad…he was a good friend back in the day but his family history was so convoluted and dirty. He was doing and getting into things Cho himself would never take initiative in doing so. He then proceeds to lean back in his chair and put his feet on the desk. Another thought cross his mind. Niwa. He hadn’t seen her yet and he honestly didn’t want to. He was a bit afraid. After biting her he low key marked her as his own but he didn’t see it that way. Still as he was having sex with the witches that live in his household he couldn’t but think of her every once in a while…he looked up at the ceiling contemplating his next move. He had to find the victim of the bat…but how??? He didn’t get but one blood sniff and in a city damn near full of them he was supposed to track it…but how??? He felt as if he was losing hope until someone walked through the door….\_

(https://youtu.be/f3Kf1Iy5E6U?t=32s  )\_Cho sat and watched the woman walk into the station it was a brand new face or at least one he hadn’t seen around here. A couple of the other junior cops came in to surround Cho in his seat as the gawked at the raven haired beauty. She wore a leather jacket and fingerless gloves, and tight jeans with boots. It was so simple but…she had the walk of a model. Cho’s mouth opened a little bit as he and the other junior officers watched her walk past them and into the back way.\_

Cho: Who the hell is that?

JO 1: Her? That’s trouble with a  capital ass. Desdemona Robinson but you can only call her Des.

Cho: I see, I see. How come I haven’t seen her around the precinct?

JO 2: Really? She’s a detective dude. Like FULL on detective. She skipped the junior the process unlike us because she’s supposedly the best up and coming detective we have, a few notches below Tasanagi and the Elite 4.

Cho: -turns around in his seat- We have an elite 4? Like the pokemon elite 4?

JO 1: Nah the other four detecives we have. Danzo, Joe, Mark, and Butch. They handle the cases Tasanagi can’t when he’s not around to do them. Their the big dogs round here. Got their own office and way into the building so you’ll rarely see them outhere unless they’ve just got something to say in general.

Cho: I see, I see. Must’ve been one of them who I’d heard my nickname from.

JO 2: You mean Demolition Man? You know that’s not a complement right?

Cho; Yeah Yeah. I’m going to take a leak, lemme know when Niwa gets in. I have to talk to her.

\_Cho would’ve made his way to the bathroom and the other Juinor Officers would’ve been talking behind his back\_

JO 1: Be real…you think he’s messing around with Niwa? Word on the street is her and Trevor are pretty close. Don’t think he wants to be messing that up.

JO 2: What? You kidding? That trevor guy aint shit! He’s barely here and he barely turns in a case. He gave a tick for J-Walking of all things. How he has this job I’ll never understand.

That Morning

Niwa was deep, very deep in sleep. She actually slept pretty soundly after last nights encounter. She chalked it up to exhaustion from being drained. It was one of the best sleeps she ever had!

It was shortly after noon that she finally, and quite literally, rolled out of bed. Her lilac hair was absolutely wild and her eye makeup was smudged and would have to be scrubbed off of her cheeks and wiped completely from her eyes. She was such a mess that when she went into the bathroom, she gasped at her reflection.

After immediately jumping into the shower to clean herself up, she took her time dressing herself. She wore a form fitting dress with a skirt that reached the middle of her thigh. The white dress was solid aside from the completely Lacey shoulder and neckline while the solid neckline was the sweetheart style like most of her other dresses. The dress hugged her hourglass figure tightly, though the skirt was a bit flowy with a couple small layers to give it a bit of a puffed look.

With her makeup completely redone and her hair styled and left down to show off the bit of wave she put in them, Niwa would leave the house feeling much better.

Present Time

Niwa made a few stops along the way to the precinct. Kin was out today and she'd normally have the day off, but she liked being there. Hearing the guys joke around and just being there was enough to bring a pearly white smile to her lips. She picked up a cappuccino and a small box of fresh sushi. An odd snack combination, but it's what she wanted.

As the Killian woman approached the front doors, a couple of KPD cops were stepping out. They'd eye her lace covered cleavage while holding the door open. Niwa giggled softly as she stepped through, thanking them sweetly while moving down the hallway. On her way back to her and Kins office, she spotted Cho. He was walking towards the bathrooms in the back. Just looking at him sparked that familiar tingle deep within her. Her hands gripped her drink and plastic food box a little tighter. She'd bite her lower lip before calling out to him.

"Hey Cho! Didn't expect to see you here today."

'Idiot! He works here too!' She'd think to herself. Her cheeks burned a soft pink as she side stepped towards her office.

\_As cho would’ve been well on his way to the bathroom he’d hear someone call out to him from a distance and he turned around to see what was going on. He’d seen Niwa, who was looking much more attractive this time around. Something was different about her…her scent was much, MUCH more appealing today rather than it had been before. He lifted his hand up slightly before finally mustering the words\_

Cho: H-Hey Niwa! Hahahaha…

\_Cho unintentionally had his hand over his crotch though as he didn’t really mean to in front of her he made his way inside and took his leak as he planned to in the urinal. Only it was a tad difficult. Pissing with a hard on was already troublesome and Cho has to adjust his dick slightly to make sure he didn’t piss all over the floor before he zipped himself up with a frustrated sigh.\_

Cho: It…it was nothing Cho. It was nothing and you need to treat it just like that. Nothing.

\_As Cho made his way out of the bathroom he came face to face with the black haired beauty named Des. She was way to close for comfort, as she reached a hand out and gripped him by the collar of his shirt, pushing his back against the door. Cho didn’t look scared but rather surprised. Des was within kissing distance of this man, and she narrowed her eyes at him, tilting her head and giving him a damn near dead stare.\_

Cho: Can I help you…?

Des: Shhh. –sniff sniff- Ha. I knew I smelled bitch on you.

\_She lets him go pushing him off a bit and turning around to walk away from him. Cho fixed up his shirt and spoke aloud with a more authoritive tone.\_

Cho: Bitch? Please, I’m in no kind of way a bitch. If anything I’m the toughtest son of a gun in this precint.

Des: Sounds like you’re overcompensating for your little dick kid. You’re not impressing me with the act pup.

\_Cho wanted to make a comeback but when she called him “pup” he caught on. She knew what he was…and it scared him. Is that why she sniffed him? What ever the case…Cho had a lead. A small smile crossed his face, when he’d caught on to the scent he’d thought he’d have trouble searching for but no more. The scent of the blood that night matched the girl known as “Des”. That and Cho caught wind of two bite marks on her porcelain skinned neck.\_

Cho: I’ve got your number Des…now to go inform Niwa of my discovery.

\_Cho fast walked down the hallway and pushed open the door of Niwa’s office, causing it to slam against the wall. He had an excited look on his face as he clenched his fist while yelling out loud.\_

Cho: I’ve got it! I know who the victim was of-

\_Cho shuts the door behind him so no one here’s what he’s talking about, and he shuts the door locking it. He makes his way over to Niwa and picks her up by her arms almost effortlessly, while smiling and laughing speaking in a light heated tone.\_

Cho: I figured out who the victim was from last night! She works right here in this precint! I’m a genius! Now along with tracking Chad we can ask her some questions and get some more insight about his pattern, maybe his preferred victims or something of the sort! Isn’t this awesome! Ah.

\_Cho would’ve went to speak more but he couldn’t help but staring at the large amount of cleavage in his view. It made his face turn bright red for a moment as he began having lewd thoughts about her and so close in distance! He couldn’t help but sit here down gently and putting his hands in his jackets, as he cleared his throat and spoke aloud.\_

Cho: I mean yeah…yeah that’s done. So how’s the bite? It doesn’t sting does it? No odd feelings, tingly sensations or awkwardness around me? You’re cleavage looks great by the way. I mean….blah. –sticks his tongue out and leaves it hanging there-

As Cho retreated into the bathroom, Niwa's smile faded slightly. She wondered what crossed his mind when he looked at her.

'Eh?! W-Why do I care?!' She shook her head and rushed to her office, passing a raven haired young woman she'd never seen before. Though she was curious, she continued on her way to her shared office.

The door swung open effortlessly and she moved to place her things on her tidy desk before closing the door again. It was her day off. What was there for her to do? Niwa looked around the office for a moment and sighed. It was getting a little dusty. And the little waste baskets were getting a little full. With that, Niwa crossed the room to the small shelf in the corner and grabbed the dusting wipes. Before getting to work, she'd press play on the small stereo on the top shelf and let her favorite CD of random music from several years ago play freely. (https://youtu.be/1ybaiCgOFUQ)

As the first song began, she swayed her hips and started to lightly dust the bookshelf along the back wall of the cozy office. Before she could get too much done, the office door flung open and shut just after. Niwa turned, hearing the lock click and her eyes landed in a very excited looking Cho. The closer he got to her, the stronger the tingling got. She froze in place, allowing him to lift her by her arms as he explained his finding. Her cheeks burned just as red as his and she bit her lip softly as he slowly set her back down. The bite mark on her neck was radiating that special erotic sensation as she twisted the dusting wipe in her hands.

"That's awesome!" She flashed him a wide and genuine smile. She was pretty excited and proud about the whole thing. He figured it out faster than she hoped. "Kin would be proud." She'd say as she squeezed the last of the cleaning fluid from her wipe. Her Hazel eyes raised to look directly into his as he commented on her enticing cleavage. For a moment, she peeked down at her own breasts, then back at him. "Oh, aha, thanks! I...I love this dress. Dresses in general. They're just so much...easier." She laughed softly and placed the crumpled up wipe on her desk before wiping her hands on the skirt of her dress. He looked so goofy with his tongue poked out like that. And she could tell he was nervous. With the smile still playing on her lips, Niwa reached out and delicately grabbed his tongue between two fingers and playfully tugged on it. "I appreciate your compliment, Cho. You don't look to bad yourself, today." She'd giggle and release his tongue. "As for the bite... Well...I can tell it's still there. The side effects are lingering. Tingling and all. But no pain. Not unless I poke at it. Otherwise I never know its there until..." She trailed off, her cheeks burned a soft pink.

\_Cho smiled a bit. He was nervous but he still smiled in the face of his embarrassment. At least as much as he could smile when she grabbed his tongue and held it out. Cho moved his lips a few times, but still kept smiling all the while.\_

"I appreciate your compliment, Cho. You don't look to bad yourself, today…As for the bite... Well...I can tell it's still there. The side effects are lingering. Tingling and all. But no pain. Not unless I poke at it. Otherwise I never know its there until..."

\_Cho let his tongue slip back into his mouth, wiping his lips with the sleeve of his jacket before looking around and rubbing the back of his neck.\_

Cho: Until I’m around…right? Heh. Funny thing is its…a  mating thing. In the culture of mine and Kin’s, we mark our mates with a bite. Of course we’re supposed to know who our mates are off bat. I do know who mine is, or is “supposed” –air quote- to be. But she hasn’t been around for a while. –he looked down, a bit of an upset look on his face.- to be honest I wouldn’t know what she’d think  of me if she saw me now.

\_Cho would’ve looked back up at her, only to find he was exceedingly close to her. She wasn’t much shorter than him but he’d still look down at her. He’d raise a hand towards her face almost instinctually and begin moving a strand or two of her hair out of her face, letting a finger run down her cheek.\_

Cho: But you don’t judge me like that do you Niwa…-smiles- you’ve got a beautiful smile you know that?

\_Cho must’ve not been in his right mind as he was making these motions of closeness to her almost instinctually. Like he owned her or something of the sort…though he didn’t it was honestly just the nature of Wolfbloods when they did mark something with their bite.\_

When Niwa felt Cho pulling his tongue back, she released her gentle grip and watched it retreat back into his mouth so he could speak. The short Killian woman nodded to confirm what he said. Thinking about him didn't bring strong feelings like actually seeing him did. Her cheeks burned a deep red as the space between them shrink a bit. She hadn't even noticed until he was pushing a couple of stray hairs out of her face and ticking them behind one of her pointed ears.

"A mating thing, huh? Well...whoever she is..I hope she understands why we had to do what we did. It was life or death at that point." Without thinking she lightly rested her cheek against his hand. Hearing his compliment on her smile caused her to smile again. A big, bright smile like always. The tingling was lurking within her. Not enough to go crazy about but not enough to forget.

"You haven't given me a reason to judge you like that. You're a good guy. A hero. You'll be a detective soon. I know it." As she said this, she leaned herself closer to him. Her body was exploding with sexual desire. That pleasurable tingle was forcing her thoughts to shift. She couldn't even think straight without seeing Cho bending her over her desk or laying her on the floor. Niwa raised herself into the balls of her feet slowly. Her eye lids began to close the closer to his face she got. If he'd allow her to continue, her lips would just barely graze his hesitantly.

\_She admitted to not having a reason to judge him and he believed her strangely enough. He felt her arrive even closer to him and he responded slightly. He’d seen her lips deviating towards his own and for a moment he…didn’t think about stopping it. He barely felt the skin of her lips brush against his when there was a knock on the door.\_

Trevor: Niwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Niwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. You in there? I brought you your favorite coffee for the day and some sweets. I think you said you liked cupcakes.

\_Cho quickly snapped into reality as he looked at the door and quickly hopped over in a vault jump over into the seat of Kin’s desk. Once Niwa unlocked the door, Trevor would’ve stepped in with a boque of red roses, a box of cupcakes and a cup of coffee balancing atop of all of this.\_

Trevor: Heya just thought you’d enjoy something to brighten up your day. –looks over at Cho- Oh it’s the new kid on the block. Mr. Demolition Man himself.

Cho: Heh, heh. That name is starting to take a hold on me I can admit.

\_Trevor puts the stuff down on Niwas desk, before turning to look back at her. Wearing his green track suit, with baggy green sweats and a green jacket, he’d tower over Niwa before leaning over in a comical fashion to humor her shortness, tilting his head at her.\_

Trevor: Sooooooo I was thinking that maybe you and I could spend some time together after you get off of your shift. Some Netflix and Chill time if you catch my drift.

\_Cho frowned with the corner of his mouth and as he did an unintentionally growl left his throat and barely escaped between closed lips. Cho caught himself but Trevor stood up and looked at Cho with a raised brow\_

Trevor: Did…you. Did you just growl?

Cho:-snaps out of it- What? No…no of course not. Uh Niwa meet me outside when you can so we can conduct our investigation accordingly. That way we can have our cards at the ready. I need to finish telling you about ol girl.

\_Cho would’ve stood up, putting his arms behind his head and walking out of the door, with a pep in his step. A couple of people looking at Cho with a bit of a bold envy but then again no one really thinks that highly of Trevor either so it’s not exactly a diss or anything. Trevor hops up and sits on Niwas desk, swinging his legs like a big kid only to question her.\_

Trevor: What’s that kids deal? By the way…nice outfit sexy lady. If you didn’t have something to do, I’d shut that door over there and we could get pretty busy right about know, if you know what I mean.

Niwa could hear her heart pounding in her ears. It was almost deafening. Her eyes were completely closed now as she felt their personal space very slowly begin to meld. But before she could get what she craved, a very familiar voice called her name.

The playful tone repeated several times as footsteps approached the locked door. Niwa's eyes ripped open and she lowered herself back onto the soles of her feet as Cho jumped back, landing in Kin's chair. He sat as if nothing had happened.

She could hear the steps growing closer and rushed to the door, her cheeks burning red as she hurriedly unlocked the door and opened it just as Trevor stopped in front of it. The site of the gifts he brought her only made her cheeks burn hotter as she stepped to the side for him to come in.

"Oh! Oh my goodness." She took the roses with a pearly white smile spread across her face, though that tingling sensation still pumped through her. Niwa hid her face in the flowers, inhaling their scent deeply. "They smell so good!" She laughed softly, her eyes taking a quick peek over at Cho. She wondered how he was feeling. Before she could think much more about it, Trevor's date night idea rang in her ears. She quickly looked at Trevor, knowing that the blush wouldn't fade for a good while now.

"Oh, I-" before she could get anything out, a very low and barely audible growl could be heard coming from Cho's direction. Her eyes widened as she followed Trevor's confused and slightly annoyed gaze. Cho was frowning a little. He seemed to flick back to his normal self before too many questions could be asked and left the room after telling Niwa to meet up with him so they could further discuss the open case. As Trevor hopped in on her desk and swung his feet a bit, Niwa turned to fully face him.

"He was excited about figuring out the key information we needed for the case. He was going to tell me, but you managed to surprise us both." She smiled sweetly at Trevor and moved across the room to set the roses in a vase that she'd set out for looks only weeks before. She laughed a bit and turned back to face him. "Thanks. I just got this dress. It's a new favorite." She'd say as she stepped over to him again. The purple lilac haired beauty leaned forward to lightly place a kiss on his lips while a hands slowly grabbed her coffee. As she pulled away, she let her lips hover just in front of his. "Thank you so much for these gifts. I have to help Cho with this case, though. You can wait for me at my house, if you'd like. Kirei and my little sister should be home to let you in. If you happen to fall asleep before I get home, I'll treat you to a nice-" she shot a quick glance at his crotch and looked back into his eyes "surprise." The Killian straightened and smiled a little at Trevor. "You could always teach me a lesson." She'd say with a teasing tone.

\_Trevor would’ve taken the small little kiss she’d given him and smiled a broad, with his wide pearly whites showing the entire time. She left him with a bit of a teasing tone and it made his eyes narrow while he looked at her with a more sly smile on his face this time around.\_

Trevor: That’s exactly the response I was looking for.

\_Trevor would’ve hoped up and slapped her ass with his large palm only to make his way out of the office and down the hall, waving at her without looking back.\_

Trevor: Catch you later pretty girl.

\_Cho would’ve peeked inside the precint door, to signal Niwa to come on. Had she made her happy little ass over to the outside, Cho would’ve sat down on his bike, and folded his arms to begin detailing his grand scheme plan to her.\_

Cho: Aright well check this bit out. See the girl in there her name is Desdemona Robinson. Apperently she has the same scent and bite marks that match the guy we met last night. I figure I’m gonna try and talk to her with this.

\_Cho holds up a small earpiece to show Niwa and he sticks it in his hear. He stands up and nods over to the vehicle grotto close by the station. He then begins walking towards it, and reaching into his pocket to toss her a set of keys.\_

Cho: I need you to go in there, and drive us in the surveillance van. It has a cloaking device so she shouldn’t be able to find you. I’m gonna –starts slicking his hair back- put the charm on her and see if I can get her to talk about the attack. There’s a chance she might not but that’s okay I’ll get it out of her somehow. I just need you to fade into he background okay?

\_As they made their way over to the van, Cho would’ve hopped into the passenger side seat. Niwa was going to have to drive them there, and as she did Cho would sniff the air a couple of times to makes sure he had her scent fresh in his nostrils. Niwa was going to drive where ever Cho directed her to until they found her, possibly seeing when she went somewhere to stop and eat or something of he sort.\_

Cho: Alright drive down 31st street over there. Keep going until I tell you to turn. From what I’m smelling I smell her natual scent and…cupcakes. She must be at a sweets stand or something.

II
--

As his hand came down on her plump, round ass, she'd let out a gentle squeak and would reach to rub at the spot he smacked. As Trevor left the office, Niwa would follow him out, her cheeks as red as can be. She saw Cho's head popping in through the front doors of the precinct almost instantly. By the look on his face, she could tell he was wanting her to hurry up.

"I'll see you tonight, Trevor!" She'd call over her shoulder as she rushed out the door to meet up with Cho. He was sitting on his bike, arms crossed. He looked to be deep in thought. She smiled at him as he explained his plan to her.

"Desdemona... Robinson. Robinsonnnn~" Niwa lightly tapped her chin with one finger. "Oh!" She'd say, her eyes widening slightly. "That new detective! She was the one that that batblood was fighting with?" Her eyes lowered from Cho to the small earpiece he was now holding out. She watched him put it in his ear and stood up to follow him over to the vehicle that was parked nearby. She heard his keys jingling around and held her hands out to catch them when they were tossed.

Though she was excited to finally know what Cho knew, she couldn't help but feel a bit...strange. The tingle was there again, but she felt a tad bit guilty about Trevor popping in. She'd sigh softly and continue to listen to him as he spoke without missing a single beat. Oddly enough, Cho mentioning his plan to "unleash the charm" as made Niwa slightly jealous. That dark little feeling brought a soft frown to her lips as they got into the van.

Instead of dwelling on such a feeling and thought, Niwa would start the car and drive off, listening for directions and instructions from Cho who was actively tracking Desdemona from the moving vehicle.

Cho: Alright…don’t judge me.

\_Cho would’ve begun to let his window down and as he did he stuck his upper body out of the window and began letting his tongue hang out the side of his face. As he continued doing so, he would’ve begun panting like a dog, having a giant wild grin on his face as the wind pressed.\_

Cho: TURN RIGHT HERE AND PARK THE CAR!

\_If she did as told, Cho’s body would’ve flipped right out of the window of the van and he would’ve hit the cement face first. Cho layed there for a  moment compiling himself but quickly getting up and looking to Niwa only to lean into the van and put a finger to her lips.\_

Cho: Shhhhhh. There she is.

\_Cho would’ve turned Niwas head by pushing it lightly with his finger only to reveal Desdemona’s location. She was sitting at a lone table eating cupcake. Cho would’ve nodded to the back of the van, and there would’ve been headphones and a monitor.\_

Cho: The monitor is hooked up to the camera of my badge. Record audio and video feed. Wish me luck okay baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

\_Cho stopped himself holding out the “a’ in babe and adverting his eyes left and right, before he slunk out of the van and began walking towards Desdemona. He started walking towards Desdemona and he made his way to the seat in front of her, pulling out the chair and plopping down in front of her.\_

Cho: So Desdemona Robinson. I kind of feel like me and you got off to a reeeeeeeeally bad start earlier in the day.

\_Desdemona takes a bite of her cupcake, before picking up a napkin and putting it to her lip to wipe away the icing from them. She sits the napkin down, leaning forward on the table a bit, and flipping her raven locks out of her face. God she was so pretty…but she acted like such  a bitch. Except now of all times. She was…acting flirty. She folded one leg over the other and let the base of her foot brush against Cho’s leg.\_

Des: You think so? I thought we got off to a pretty good start big guy.

Cho: -turns his had away but still looks at her with a raised brow- Don’t shit me Robinson. I’ve met many girls who can change face in an instant. Your good looks. –he points to himself with his thumb- won’t work on me. Now talk. I smell your blood signature from last night. You can’t fool a ‘dogs nose.

\_He chose that word with a bit of spite since she made it clear she’d known what he was earlier that day. The corner of her lip rose in a smirk, as she leaned closer over the table, unzipping her jacket a bit and revealing a well sized amount of cleavage. Cho tired his best not to look towars it and focus on the mission but the bead of sweat that trickled down his face made it clear his hormones were not in check.\_

Cho: Tch

\_He turns away with his arms folded and a pout on his face. Des sits back and laughs, a hand covering her mouth as she does\_

Des: You’re such a kid, I can’t even with you. Don’t bother kid. What happened to me would throw you cold off the case. Conincidentally I’m tracking the same person you are. Have been for a while now. I guess Tasanagi got impaitient with me since it involves another beast blood. Figures. –sips her coffee- If you wanted in on the case you could’ve asked. I need some help anyway, well more like some bait. The killian in the van over there is perfect for it.

Cho: Wait what? How did you?! The van is cloaked!

Des: I would’ve fell for it if someone didn’t face plant. Tell that pretty girl to come join us. I like the pretty ones.

\_Cho had a scowl on his face as he let his arm rest on the table, and let his head rest in his hand. He let his other hand tap his fingers on the desk and he huffed through his nostrils.\_

Cho: Come on out Niwa. Super Bitch wants to munch your carpet.

Des: Super Bitch huh? 20 bucks says I could get you to say that in the sack.

Cho:….what kind of female are you are?

Niwa laughed softly as Cho hung himself out of the window. He looked a little silly, but she didn't say a word as she followed the instructions given. As she pulled over and brought the vehicle to a slow stop, Cho flopped out of the window and second later there was a loud thud. Niwa turned quickly to check on him. But he'd already jumped to his fear and used a finger to turn her head the other way.

There she sat: Desdemona herself. In front of her was a single cupcake, not a single bite taken from it. Niwa raised a brow and watched as Cho made his way over. For a second she almost forgot to turn on the audio and video recorders. Just after flipping the switches, she noticed Des trying to play a bit of footsie with him. Jealousy flared up inside of Niwa and she growled a little, but she took a deep breath and gripped the steering wheel tighter.

Only a few minutes had passed and Cho was looking a little annoyed. Defeated maybe? Niwa heard it all and was just as disappointed as he was. How could she have known? And she was so nonchalant about it! After being called over, she slipped out of the van and walked on over. She kept her posture straight and tried to look as professional as she could as she lowered herself into the chair next to Cho.

"So....you knew. And you say you're after that man, too? For the same offenses or has he done other things?" She placed her hands on the table and twiddled her thumbs a little. It's no wonder they made her a detective straight away.

\_Cho watched as Niwa came from the van and took the seat beside him. Cho then thought about the fact that two women he thought were hot were beside him. In the back of his mind he low key thought about what would happen if he got the both of them… in his bed. Huehuehue, Cho began to think naughty, naughty thoughts but he brought himself back to reality when he’d heard Niwa asking about the main situation at hand, which was whether or not Desdemona was in this for the same reasons they were.\_

Des: Yes and no. I’m after him because he’s the link I need to confronting Dark Luthor. Dunno if you’ve heard of him because I dunno how much Tasanagi actually tells people now adays. Not that I care, because I know you’re his beta so you’re bound to know at some point.

Cho: Who is Dark Luthor?

Des: In short he’s a big badie for Beastbloods. He hates our guts for reasons that come straight out of a comic book.

Cho: Okay good summarization. Still uh whats he got to do with you.

Des: To be honest I’m not sure. I just know he’s evil and something inside of my fucked up brain. Still the batblood was the key. I lured him in using my “charm”

Cho: You were down to fuck basically.

Des; Call it what you want pup, I almost had him right where I wanted him but he got…toothy.

\_She rubbed the spot on the back of her neck and groaned with a scowl on her face\_

Des: had it gone differently I would’ve been his next victim but it didn’t. I managed to fight him off, which im assuming is the around the time you two got around to interfearing with him. He was at his weakest which is why I picked the night of a new moon to confront him…but now that the moon will show itself, even a little bit, he’ll be stronger…much stronger than you or me could ever imagine him to be.

Cho: Man…are batbloods that powerful?

Des: Their origins are much richer than any Beastblood because their rooted to have the blood of demons running through their viens. Their the best predetors in the food chain. Wolfbloods are great and all but you’re only useful in packs. As far as I’m concerned even having a walking bust lunar battery over here wouldn’t matter much in a one on one fight. We’re going to need to plan out our next moves to get through this little scuffle. Before that I need you to come with me. I’ll let you view the atopsy bodies, and maybe with three heads we can figure out how to predict his next victim. I know some of the pattern but there isn’t a connecting factor. Least not one I can figure out on my own. You two down or what? And be honest. Don’t want the non fighter here to be a vulnerablility.

Cho: She won’t. I’ll be there to protect her.

Des: I saw your fight with the guy. You’re okay but you couldn’t protect a paper bag as far as I’m concerned.

\_Cho stood up, slamming a hand on the table and pointing at her\_

Cho: Look I do NOT have time for your shit! Either your going to help us with this case or I’ll make my own way down to whatever morgue I have to and look at these bodies my damn self. Come on Niwa lets get out of here.

\_Cho was about to get ready to walk off before Desdemona scoffed and rolled her eyes.\_

Des: Take a chill pill. God you teenagers are so hormonal now adays. I’ll help you but don’t come at me with your testosterone in full effect. I don’t have time for it.

\_Desdemona stands up walking towards the van, and opening up the back doors to hop inside. Cho hops into the drivers seat and waits for Niwa to hop into the passengers seat.\_

Des: Take us back to the station. I’ve got clearance for the other 3 levels blow but not the fourth. It’s enough to get us to the morgue area where we keep bodies for evidence.

Cho: Hm. I thought I was able to hear heartbeats under the station. I thought my senses were just going crazy in there.

Des: Busty here has a keycard for it to but it’s tied to the job. Can’t reveal about it unless asked. Man they really run you junior guys through the mud don’t they.

Cho: -shakes his head- you know the more you talk, the more I’m starting to regret the bat guy not leaving you for dead.

Des: Jeez Wonder tits, your boyfriend sure is  charmer.

\_This was going to be a loooooooooong drive.\_

A noticeable frown tugged at the corners of Niwa's lips. The reality of being vulnerable was very hard to get used to. She'd have to train a bit more with Kirei when the case was wrapped up.

"Why do you have to be like tha-" She was thrown off when Cho jumped up and nearly put a hole the size of his fist in the outdoor dining table. Niwa sighed. She could already tell that the rest of the night and however long it took the three of them to get the case closed would be rough. Especially with how much tension there now was.

When Des rose from her seat and headed to the van parked nearby, Niwa would stand, too. Her eyes watched the cocky and rude woman open the back doors where she climbed inside.

"Great... She's hitching a ride with us." She'd mumble as she followed Cho to the van. This time he was getting in the drivers seat while she was sliding in through the passenger side. There was no break in the tension. Not even after allowing her to ride with them even though she never asked.

"Yes... Yes I have a keycard." She'd say with a tad bit of irritation in her voice. "So can we please just get to the precinct so we can get this case closer to, well... closed?" She looked back at Des and then over at Cho before buckling her seat belt and smoothing out the front of her dress.

'Please let this just be a phase for them....'

Cho: Don’t worry Niwa. That’s exactly where we’re going.

\_The rest of the drive was silent, as Desdemona could be heard playing candy crush the entire ride back. when they did get back to the precinct, the three of them would’ve been guided by Des to the secret elevator that was located at the back wall of the hallway. She used her keycard and the wall split into two! Opening up the three of them would’ve moved inside and Cho stood between both Niwa and Desdemona. His hands in his coat pockets, he exhaled through his nostrils and Des kept looking at her phone screen standing at the front of both Niwa and Cho. Cho nudged Niwa on her arm and looked over at her.\_

Cho: You alright?

\_He’d wait for an answer before the elevator stopped. Des would’ve looked back to Cho.\_

## III

Des: They’re gonna know you were down here so just tell them you were with us. They’ll grill us less than they’ll grill you for it.

\_The temperature of the room was cold, frosty even. They walked down the long hallway of catalogued bodies frozen in tubes, only to enter a room with what looked like giant metal drawers. Desdemona began talking once again, blowing hot hair into her hands before rubbing them together.\_

Des: The Batblood has a way of leaving his mark on his victims. As I said myself would’ve been one of them but I got lucky. Well more so I actually managed to escape.

\_She began pulling out drawer after drawer. Cold dead body after cold dead boy being pulled out until she revealed 12 dead bodies. 7 female, 5 males. Cho looked in what seemed like a mix of amazement and shock.\_

Cho: Yikes….

Des: “Yikes?” What are you twelve?

Cho: Fight me. Fight me right-

\_Niwa should probably take initiative to calm Cho down a little bit, other wise he’d get to talking reckless which was something neither of them could afford. Desdemona pulled out some gloves and began putting them on over his hands. He tossed gloves to Niwa and Cho as well. She began trailing a finger down the autopsy incision made by the surgeons prior.\_

Des: If I remember correctly…incision that was made…and the organ removed was…

\_She began digging her hand into the stitched flesh only to open it up and show the both of them the organ that was missing. It was the heart, but instead of the heart it was…nothing. Cho furrowed his brow moving on towards the next body.\_

Des: He likes to take organs. The organs don’t have any connection as far as I’ve seen. This one was missing a heart, the next one a liver, the next one a spleen, and the list just randomly goes on.

Cho: Nothing more dangerous than a killer without a pattern. Niwa, check that third body and tell me if you see anything hun-erm please.

\_Cho would’ve opened up the second body, looking inside and seeing the missing organ she mentioned. No liver. Cho looked around inside and growled in irritation.\_

Cho: Come on there must be something….anything…give me a sign.

Des: Good luck. I checked up and down for some kind of clue. Couldn’t find a thing. If you can’t either I wouldn’t be surprised, and surprisingly that’s not an insult.

\_Cho took in a deep breath only to hold it for a moment. His eyes got wide for a moment as he smelled something…something familiar something noticeable, maybe only to him. At the same time Niwa would’ve by this time found something scribbled in the back of the skin of the open body.\_

Cho: Niwa, Desdemona. Look for something in the body that has the fient FIENT scent of Ink. I smell it coming from…well all of these bodies.

Des: Ink…ink, how –sniff sniff- I can’t tell…

Cho: -taps his nose- The nose, knows.

Aside from the annoying sound of the somehow still trending Candy Crush game for mobile devices. The car ride was silent. No bickering, no sarcasm. Maybe finishing this case with Des tagging along wouldn't be as bad. As they pulled up to the precinct, Niwa could feel herself getting a little nervous and as they followed Des into the elevator that would take them down to the morgue her nervousness only got worse.

Niwa felt someone nudge her arm and looked over at Cho for a moment, then over at Des. She didn't want to voice just how uncomfortable she was with being in the morgue. Not with some rude and sarcastic stranger lingering.

"It's... It's nothing. Let's focus on the task at hand." She smiled at him, but deep down, she was actually kind of afraid. She'd only been to the morgue a handful of times and that was only to deliver and/or pick up paperwork for Kin. There were never any bodies out because she was always sent before or after autopsy. As the elevator reached its floor, the doors slid open letting the brisk air on that floor rush in almost instantly. Goosebumps rose all across Niwa's exposed skin and she grabbed at her arms as they walked in. The bodies frozen in tubes were a little easy for her to ignore. She always told herself they were just really well done wax figures, but fresh bodies...were a little harder to do that with.

As Des pulled open several of the giant drawers that held tagged bodies, Niwa felt a chill go down her spine that hadn't been related to the cold temperature of the room. Thankfully, the two were at it again and their clashing have Niwa a mental break from the bodies and the strange smell in the room.

"Cho, calm down. We're here to close a case. After that, we won't have to deal with her tagging along." She'd say softly as she held her arm out in front of Cho's chest. And like that, Des was already back on track and Niwa was nervous all over again. But this time Des was slipping on a glove.

At first, she felt like she could make it without getting too nauseous, but as soon as Des shoved her hand into the stitched up "Y" incision on the cadaver, Niwa felt her stomach begin to knot up. She bit down on her lower lip, trying to take in details and information to distract her, but the information she was mentally cataloging only seemed to make it worse.

Cho's voice pulled her from her nauseous down spiral and she looked over at him as he began to dig around in a body, too.

'They're nuts!' She'd think.

"Yes, Cho?" She'd respond, trying to sound as normal as possible. That, however, became more of a challenge as he asked her to also check a body. The color from her face drained and she nodded slowly. After looking at the bodies for what seemed like eternity, she moved over to the one beside Cho and pulled a pair of latex gloves over her dainty hands. The Jillian stared down at the body, her hand hesitantly hovering over the "Y" incision.

'You can do this. Youuuu can do this...' Seconds passed before she carefully plunged her gloved hand into the cold meat of the deceased. She could feel tissue and organs squishing around her hand and fingers and nearly barfed up her last meal, but by some miracle she was able to take a deep breath and push on.

Niwa had attended a couple college classes not ok long ago so the human anatomy was still fairly fresh in her mind. Each organ she touched she'd name in her mind until she reached the space that one used to be.

"No spleen." She'd say to no one in particular. She pulled her hand out a little too quickly for someone who was trying to seem calm and began to inspect the outside of the body. With her gloved hands gripping the cadavers side and arm, she lift with a huff to check the underside for any markings. Her eyes widened and at the same time of her discovery, she'd hear Cho telling them to look for any type of ink on their skin.

"Right as you said something." She'd say as she motioned for him to join her. If he did come to stand beside her, she's continue to hold the body up, using only one shaky hand, and used the other to point out the markings.

\_Cho went over to where Niwa was and looked inside of the body. Looking at the ink inscription to see what was written, Cho began to read it out loud.\_

Cho: The next organ will have a very tart tang to it. This motherfucker is leaving legit clues.

Des; Interesting….he’s baiting us. My nose isn’t as good as a wolfbloods which is why I never caught on to this before. Interesting.

\_Cho would’ve then went to the other few bodies, and Desdemona would’ve done the same. They began looking at the messages written in ink, which left small and subtle clues to what organ he was going to take next. When they went to the last body available, Cho looked through it, and saw the entire intestinal line missing.\_

Cho: This guy is one through son of a bitch….just took the entire intestinal track.

Des: Imagine what he would’ve taken from me…

Cho: in any case intestines were the last organs taken. So what would’ve even been close to be taken next? From what he wrote, it says…”the next organ will be the mirrors of the world.”

Des: Eyes. He’s going for the eyes. Now we have to actually physically track this guy.

\_Cho removed his hands from the body and began taking the gloves off and throwing them into the trashcan. He then begins pacing back and forth thinking to himself. He was confused…how were they supposed to track down one person in the entire city.\_

Cho: Wait a minute I have an idea. And this is just a theory. But Des he bit you right?

Des:-rubs the holes in her neck- Yeah he did…

Cho: Can you feel him? Like  can you feel his presence and if you can…do you think you could feel him near? Like if we got you to focus on the feeling of him being near we could track him.

Des: I can do that , but we’ll have to do it tomorrow night. I’ve got some…business to attend to.

Cho:  Well alright I guess. But ever night we let this guy go loose, the longer this goes on. I don’t think what ever you have to do, is more important than this right now.

\_Des began to walk past Cho, sneering at him under his breathe.\_

Des: There are you things you just won’t understand bout me so don’t try to.

\_Des leaves the room and Cho waits until she’s gone before letting another growl leave from his throat. He starts pushing the bodies back inside of the mortuary storage, and closing them tight. He leaves his hand on the last one sighing through his nostrils\_

Cho: Just what the hell is her problem…dammit!

\_Cho punched the metal of the wall, denting it slightly, being back at his full potential finally. His wolfish features pop out and his temper begins to flair.\_

Cho: We’re right there Niwa. RIGHT THERE at cracking this case and we just get pushed to the side like we’re noting. She’s the only one who’s capable of helping us find the Batblood and she wants to lolly gag around like it’s a game. God what the hell is her problem…-looks at his watch- Well it’s still early in the day so…I guess you can do whatever you want now. I’m going to go home and maybe rest up a bit. Spend some time with mom. What were you going to do after work?

\_Well it was funny Cho mentioned this as Trevor did mention wanting to hang out but that wasn’t until later, later on. So Niwa would actually have the day to herself unless she decided to try and pop up on Trevor earlier on this time around but who knows, it might be best to kill some time and surprise him later on. Cho would’ve walked the both of them back up the hall but the sudden stop of the investigation left a sure fire look of disappointment on Cho’s face.\_

Another lead! Niwa was so excited that she nearly forgot about that knot in her stomach as she laid the body back on the metal table. She watched as Des and Cho searched every body themselves for more ink so they could be sure every body was linked this way; and they were! Every clue led them to the next body until they reached the very last one. The little riddle wasn't too hard, but Des was the first to say what the next organ to be taken would be. Niwa couldn't help but cringe at the thought of finding a body with no eyes and he really hoped they could stop Chad before he hurt someone else. As Cho removed his gloved and tossed them in the garbage bin, so did Niwa. Her eyes followed him as he paced and she could tell he was deep in thought. Then, he had his eureka moment. Because Des had been bitten by Chad, she could feel him as he or she got close to the other. It was a great idea. A great way to track him, but Just as Cho and Niwa were getting excited about being that much closer, Des would tell them that it would have to wait until tomorrow night.

Niwa felt her excitement immediately drop.

"Tomorrow?!" She was shocked. Wait until tomorrow?! Before the two could say much else, Des exited the room. It was obvious that Cho was very upset because he was aggressively putting the bodies back in their cabinets. He'd even punched a small dent into the thick metal. Niwa winced a bit.

"I don't know, but what she just did was not what a good detective would do. Not with a powerful and very active killer on the loose. I'll have to inform someone above her if anything goes wrong." She watched as he checked his watch and frowned a bit. With the case now on hold until tomorrow she really has nothing else to do. It was still early in the afternoon and Trevor wasn't expecting her until much later. "I'm not sure what to do... My afternoon is completely clear until later tonight. I...I suppose I could go back to the office... Or go home and relax a bit... I'll figure something out, I guess." She smiled at him. "Tell your mom I said 'hi'. It's really sweet of you to spend time with her without much prompting."

Niwa smiled bigger and began to walk past him with her arms crossed just below her breasts. Her eyes lingered on him a moment before she actually passed him up and she sighed. "Hopefully that girl knows what she's doing by not doing this right now." She'd say as she slipped into the hallway slowly.
