"Sorry, Akihiko!" I️ called, running after Kyouka who didn't stop for me. "I'll call you later!"
"Hurry, Fujimoto-san!" Kyouka called as we ran down the stairs. I️ spotted someone cloaked getting off a train, and I️ ran towards him.
"Kyouka-san!" I called, jumping on the guy. She ran over and pushed me off the guy.
"Take care of the bomb!" she shouted, restraining the guy. "Demon Snow!" A demon wearing a blue kimono appeared, holding a katana. I️ ran over to the briefcase and opened it to see a bomb. Countdown was 3 minutes and 28 seconds. I️ looking at the controls, it seemed pretty easy to deactivate... maybe.
   "Kyouka-san!!" I️ shouted, panicking. "I️ can't deactivate it!" I️ looked back over at her, but she was gone. "Kyouka-san? Kyouka-san!?" I️ called her name over and over again, but time was running out.
   50 seconds...
   40...
   "Argh!!" I️ exclaimed, looking at all the people, staring at me. "Everyone get away!!" I️ was out of my mind now. Grabbing the briefcase, I️ started running down one of the train tunnels, clutching the bomb. When I️ was far enough away from the station, I️ whipped the briefcase open and saw the timer was stopped at 13 seconds.
"Well done, Nana-kun," someone said, footsteps slowly getting nearer.
"Who's there?" I️ asked, dropping the bomb and putting my hands up. I'm not able to control my ability yet, I️ thought. Wonderful.
"It's just me!" Dazai exclaimed, jumping into the light. He had a weird smile on his face, so I️ punched him.
"Don't sneak up on me!" I️ shouted, kicking his body sprawled on the ground.
"That's enough, Nanami Fujimoto," a new voice said.
"Kunikida-san, you're late!" Dazai exclaimed, rubbing his face. "She hit me!!"
"You probably diserved it, idiot!" a man said, coming into the light as well. His dark yellow hair was in a pony tail and he wore a tan and black colored suit. He pushed his glasses up and looked at me. "Well done, Fujimoto-kun," he said. "You pass the test."
"Huh?" I️ asked, looking at the bomb.
"Sorry," Kyouka said, walking into the light as well. "I️ needed to keep that part a secret." I️ stared at the three of them.
"So this was a test?" I️ asked. "Then what was the bomb?"
"It's still a bomb," the man, Kunikida started, "but Kyouka-chan had the deactivate button." Kyouka held up a remote and I️ smacked my forehead.
"Wait a second," I️ looked at Dazai. "Why aren't you a pile of ashes right now?"
"What do you mean?" Kunikida asked.
"My ability should've turned him into a pile of steaming ashes," I️ said. "It because I️ don't know how to control my ability yet."
"Well it's probably because of our presidents' ability," Kunikida said, taking a notebook out. It had the word "IDEALS" written on the front. "It's All Men Are Created Equal. You'll be able to control your powers now. But here." He tossed me a pair of black gloves. "Wear these just in case."
"Thank you." I️ looked at my hands, clenching my fists. I️ can finally control it. Putting the gloves on, I️ knew my power was resting.
   "Come now, Fujimoto-kun," Kunikida said, pushing his glasses up. "Let's go back."
   "Are we going according to schedule?" Dazai asked. Kunikida glared at him.
   "We are running 10 seconds behind because of that stupid question," Kunikida said, looking at his watch. "Now let's go!" He punched Dazai, and then started dragging him out of the tunnel.
   "This happens a lot," Kyouka said, walking after them. "Come on, Fujimoto! Don't leave the bomb either!" Grabbing the bomb, I️ ran to catch up with the three detectives.
Leaving the train station, I️ followed Dazai, Kunikida and Kyouka to a large brick building. It was on the corner of two streets and was a few minutes away from the apartment complex as well.
"Welcome to the Aremed Detective Agency building," Dazai said, walking in the back door. He headed for the elevator and looked back at me. "Our office room is on the 4th floor."
   "Ok," I️ said. The elevator doors opened, but footsteps were heard coming down the stairs. It was Atsushi.
   "Dazai-san!!" he exclaimed, panting. "There's someone upstairs for you! They're from Port Mafia!"
   "What!?" Kunikida exclaimed, narrowing his eyes at Dazai. "What are you going to bring into the office this time?"
   "What do you mean?" Dazai asked innocently.
   "Last time you brought a random woman into the office," Kunikida said, opening his notebook. "She claimed she stayed over your place the night before. From past experiences you should know that is unnacceptible!!"
   "Dazai-san!" Atsushi shouted. "We have more pressing matters upstairs!!" Kunikida sighed, stepping into the elevator. Dazai, Kyouka, Atsushi and I️ followed. Kyouka went over to Atsushi and I️ could tell there was a spark between them. The elevator reached the 4th floor and when the doors opened, Kunikida ran out first.
   "Come on, Dazai!" he growled, dragging Dazai with him. "Now that this visitor is here, the entire scheduale is messed up!!" We made it to a red door, a plaque on it with the words "Armed detective agency" on it. Kunikida three the door opened and I️ looked into the room.
   To the left we're two cubicles with benches on either side of them. To the right was a table with cubbies with different people's name. Beyond the table and cubicles were decorative plants growing. A hallway leading farther right lead to another two office rooms and two bathrooms. The main office had two desks parallel to each other that seated four people. There was another desk at the head of the tables, illuminated by he windows behind it. There were cabinets here and there for paperwork and books.
   "You finally came back with the new girl!" a girl with long black hair and gray eyes. A guy with orange hair and amber eyes stood behind her.
   "Hello," I️ said, bowing once. "I'm Nao Fujimoto."
   "I'm Naomi Tanizaki," the girl said. "And this is my brother, Junichirou."
   "You finally arrived," someone said from one of the cubicles. I️ looked over and saw a man wearing black sitting on one of the benches, his feet on the other one. He tipped his hat up and I️ saw reddish hair and sharp purple eyes. My knees bucked as I️ stared at the face.
   "NOOOO!!!" I️ screeched, pulling my gun out and pointing it at the guy.
   "Fujimoto-chan!?" Atsushi exclaimed.
   "What are you doing!?" Kunikida asked. My arms trembled as I️ looked back at the guy.
   "I️ will never forgive you!" I️ growled. "NEVER!!!"
