"Hey, Naoki." Amaya says as she nudges her sister a bit in her shoulder, getting her attention as she keeps her voice below a whisper.

"What?" Naoki asks back in a whisper.

"Do you think Dazai is actually trying to find us?" She asks.

Naoki shrugs her shoulders at her. "I don't know, but I'm surprised he agreed to play hide and seek with us at all."

"Same here, but anything is possible."

"Hey, Amaya."

"Yea Naoki?"

"How much do you wanna bet Dazai didn't try to find us at all?" She asks with a deadpanned look on her face.

Amaya chuckles nervously then sighs. "I have a feeling you're betting because of your trust in guys here.."

"Didn't Chuuya say we shouldn't really trust Dazai though?" Naoki asks as she raises a brow at her.

"Yeah, but he didn't give much of a reason," She shrugs her shoulders at Naoki. "So why not find out for ourselves if we can trust him or not?"

Naoki gives an unsure look at Amaya as well as a worried look on her face. "I don't know...mencan be unpredictable and have different intentions..espeacially the older ones."

Amaya sighs at her sister as her head tilted to the side towards her shoulder as she stretches her arms out a bit. "You have to try and trust older guys at some point here Naoki, especially since it seems like there's a lot of them here."

"I have no choice but to do that...but I still don't feel like I should trust any of them."

"Come on~ if you can trust them like you do with Fujimoto, then it won't be so bad." Amaya says in a simple tone as she looks at Naoki.

"How do you even know that for sure though?" Naoki asks, raising a brow at her sister.

Amaya holds her pointer finger up as she looks at Naoki. "Look at it this way~," She starts off in a sing-song type of tone. " Since you view them as your enemy, you can do what we were taught about war."

"Hm?" She tilts get head at Amaya. "Which strategy is that?"

"The one where you learn enough about your enemy from the inside in order to take them down of course."

"We can't kill every older guy Amaya." Naoki states in a blunt tone.

Amaya pinches and stretches Naoki's cheeks as she looks at her with an irritated look on her face. "No~ instead of using the killing objective, use it to get to know the people around you better~"

Naoki finally gets her sister's hands off her cheeks, rubbing them afterwards to try and ease the small pain left behind on her face. "Isn't that the same thing as the first part of that whole concept though?"

Amaya sighs in defeat. "Just please try to get along with them please?" She asks in a bit of a pleading voice. "We're stuck with them until further notice anyway."

Naoki thinks for a moment before giving her answer. "I can't promise anything, but I guess I can try.."

"Awesome!" Amaya says in a raised voice in a cheery tone as she looks at her sister.

"By the way, how long do you think we were in this closet?" Naoki asks Amaya in a skeptical tone.

Amaya ponders for a moment before looking ball at her sister. "I don't know, but at least I have something just in case someone tries attacking us."

"Oh? What's that?" She asks.

Amaya pulls out a gun she had hidden away in her jacket. "Because I have this with me~" She says in a confident and cheery voice as Naoki looked at her with a deadpanned expression.

"You stole that off of Dazai? Didn't you?"

"Yep!"Amaya says in a confident smile. "I got it while he was arguing with Chuuya earlier."

"I swear, they fight every hour. It reminds me back at the orphange with you and the other kids."

"Eh? Why does that remind you of the orphanage?" Amaya asks, looking at Naoki.

"Jeez, you don't remember?" She asks. "It was always you and the other kids who argued and we would always have to do a bet they chose for us."

"Hey, at least we proven then wrong a lot of the time."

Naoki goes quiet then hugs her knees to her as she rests her chin on her knees. "I don't get why you took them despite that punishment we received whenever we did..."

Amaya puts a hand on Naoki's shoulder, causing Naoki to look at her.

"Come on, you know how many times we were punished, we always had each other. We still have each other to this day."

"I know...we are the only actual family we have anyway."

"For now anyway, I know they're out there somewhere. We just have to look for them harder." Amaya says in a determined tone in her voice.

Before Naoki could say anything, both of them hear the door knob turn and watch it open to reveal a tall male in a tan coat and with light brown hair.

They look up at the man waiting for a response from him as he then kneels down to their level.

"Who are the both of you?" He asks with a simple look on his face then gets a questioning look as sees one of them defend the other.

"Why should we answer to you?" Naoki asks bluntly as well as with a dark tone.

Amaya is heard sighing behind her then goes in front of Naoki. "Sorry about my sister, she's always like this around older guys." Amaya says in a nervous laugh as she scratches the back of her head a bit.

Amaya points to herself. "My name is Amaya Shizuka, and this one over hear is my twin sister, Naoki Shizuka." Amaya explains simply as she points over to Naoki who now looks at Amaya with an irritated and dumbfounded look.

"Do I need to tell you about stranger danger again Amaya?"

"I see. So you're the two Dazai is trying to find."

They both look at the male with a curious look.

"You know Dazai?" Amaya asks as her head was tilted a bit. She receives a simple nod from the man in front of her then sees Naoki get in a defensive stance between him and Amaya.

"Is Dazai planning anything?" Naoki asks him bluntly. She looks back at Amaya as she feels her hand on her shoulder.

"All he asked me to do was to help him find you two." He says in a simple tone then looks at Naoki as he notices her starring into his eyes with a completely serious look.

After a moment, Naoki then looks over at Amaya. "Ok, he doesn't seem to be one of the bad type of guys."

Amaya lightly smacks her palm on her face after hearing Naoki. "At least you're not attacking the guy this time."

"Why did you hit your face?" Naoki asks.

"To wake myself up from being tired from hearing your countless evaluations on older guys I come into contact with." She answers Naoki bluntly.

"Hey! You even know yourself that there's bad guys out there. I just pay closer attention than you."

"Anyway~," Amaya looks over to the man with a simple smile. "What's your name?"

"Oda Sakonosuke." He answers to Amaya simply.

"There you two are!"

All three of them look over to see Dazai running over to them then points at Amaya and Naoki. "I told you two to play fair and not use your ability!"

"When was that a rule?!" Amaya asks. "You never said that as a rule!"

"Yes I did, you two just didn't listen!"

Both Amaya and Naoki stick their tongue at him with a pouty look. "Too bad, so sad." Amaya and Naoki say in unison.

"If we have an advantage, then we're gonna use it, just like how you'd use your ability if you're fighting another ability user." Amaya states to Dazai.

"This is hide and seek, not a fight little miss smartypants." Dazai says back.

"Why are you arguing with them Dazai?" Oda asks as he stands up as he looks over at Dazai.

Amaya and Naoki stare at both Dazai and Oda after they see Oda stand up, making Dazai raise his brow at them.

"What are the both of you looking at?"

"I never thought I'd see the day." Amaya says as she faces Naoki.

"Same here."

"What are you two talking about?" Dazai asks bluntly, looking down at them.

"We never thought we'd see the day where you would be a shortie to be honest." Naoki says in a blunt tone.

"Yeah! Most of the time we'd just see you and Chuuya together and it's the first time we saw someone taller than you." Amaya explains in a bit of a cheery tone.

Dazai's eye twitches slightly then kneels down in front of them and holds up one finger. "Rule one. The short jokes are only meant for Chuuya. Rule Two. Listen when I tell you not to use your abilities. Rule Three. Stop taking my gun Amaya." He finishes holding up three fingers.

"How do you know I even have it? You could've dropped it somewhere or left it somewhere."

"You just told me, now hand it over."

Amaya sighs then pouts a bit as she takes the gun out of her jacket pocket and unloads the bullets from the chamber and mag and hands the bullets and gun to Dazai as he held his hand out then puts his gun and the bullets away.

"Dazai, why did it take you so long to find us?" Naoki asks.

"I actually figured that you two would of hidden in a closet, or at least somewhere dark enough." Dazai explains. "I ended up taking a phonecall."

"You're a worse babysitter than Chuuya." Naoki mutters as she looked away from Dazai.

"Who were you talking to?" Amaya asks curiously as she tilted her head slightly.

Dazai stood up as he looks down towards Amaya and Naoki. "That's none of your business." Dazai stuck his tongue out at them a bit, mocking them a bit. Making Amaya pout a bit and Naoki just scowling at him.

"Didn't you want to go see Ango?" Oda asks as he looks at Dazai.

"Ahh~ That's right, I need to see him about something."

"Who's Ango?" Both Naoki and Amaya ask in unison.

"A friend of Odasaku and myself. He works here at the Port Mafia." Dazai explains simply.

"Do we have to go with you?" Naoki and Amaya ask in unison once again.

"Yes, you do. There isn't really anyone free at the moment to watch the both of you."

"Couldn't we just stay in Chuuya's office or something or go look around?" Amaya asks in a slight whining tone.

"Not happening."

"Is it going to be boring?" Amaya asks again in the same tone as before.

"I just have to talk to him for a little bit." Dazai says simply.

Amaya sighs and falls back onto the floor. "Just leave me here to die of boredom~" She whines a bit.

Naoki rolls her eyes at her sister being dramatic. "Come on Amaya." Naoki has Amaya get on her back.

"Can you keep up with us with your sister on your back?" Oda asks Naoki, causing her to look up at him.

Naoki nods at Oda. "I had to run with her on my back a lot before and she did the same with me too."

"Let's just get this boring thing done already please~" Amaya whines again a bit.

"It won't take long." Dazai says as he walks with Oda next to him and Naoki walking near the both of them with Amaya on her back.

"What do you have to see Ango about anyway?" Oda asks Dazai.

"Well, something tells me he most likely has some information regarding them somewhere in those documents."

Oda gives Dazai a bit of a confused look. "Why do you think there would be anything in any of the records regarding them?" He asks.

"Hmm~ I'm calling it on a hunch and a memory from a while back basically." Dazai says simply.

"I see."

"Dazai?" Amaya says his name and sees Dazai turn her head towards them as they still walk.

"When is Chuuya gonna be back?"

Dazai sighs a bit to himself then rubs the back of his neck a bit. "He'll be back when he's done." Dazai says in a bored tone.

Hello everyone who's still reading this~

I apologize for not updating this story much lately. But school and my life hates me sometimes.

As you can see, I changed chapter 3 up, since I think the old chapter 3 was a little excessive and was a little too early for too much conflict. Same for the other two parts of the last chapter.

Anyway~

I hope you enjoyed this new chapter 3 and again, suggestions on improvement is greatly appreciated!

Thank you~
