Tanazaki walked back to the Agency that night, his heart racing. The tears in his eyes were begging to come out, and he hid from the moons shady eyes with his hoodie. He looked beside him and now the tears came out. There was no Naomi. Just the cold winter breeze howling out at him, and the flickering lights down every alleyway. After what seemed like an eternity he reached the front doors of the agency. He stepped inside pulling down his hoodie and trying to look as comfortable as possible. Well if that even was possible.
"Hey Tanazaki!" The ginger turned to see Kenji waving and running towards him.
"Hey Kenji." He petted the small blondes hair and they both started walking back to their dorms in the building. "Tanazaki, how come you weren't at the meeting this evening? Everyone was worried since you and Naomi didn't show up. Speaking of which.... where is she?" The boys voice was so soft and innocent. He smiled at Tanazaki, adjusting his jacket as they walked back to their rooms.
"Naomi is sleeping in our room, and I had to get some things settled this evening." Kenji nodded humming slightly. They walked down the hall and Tanazaki reached his door first.
"Well goodnight Kenji, I'll see you in the morning." The boy nodded waving his hand before entering his own room. Tanazaki was frozen looking at the door. He took a few deep breaths opening it ever so slightly and peaking inside.
"Naomi?" There was no response, which he expected. He didn't intend on Fyodor to keep his promise. He sighed feeling the tears start to overwhelm him again. He opened their bedroom door and his eyes widened. There was his sister, laying soundly asleep on the bed. He ran over to her checking her pulse, hugging her, and now the tears came flowing down like a waterfall.
"Big brother?" She turned to see her brother crying holding her close. She sat up cupping his cheeks wiping some of excess tears. "Ju- what's wrong?"
He looked at his sister and felt her warm touch and grabbed her hands intertwining them with his own. "Naomi- you don't remember?"
"Ju, I've been sleeping all night, what are you talking about?"
It finally dawned on Tanazaki. Fyodor had kept his promise, and now he could feel his own soul, mind, and body begin to crack. The redhead now had to keep his part of the deal, otherwise Naomi would die.
Flashback from a few hours ago
"What do you say Tanazaki? A life for a life." Fyodor's unholy smile was infuriating the younger man. He clenched his fist thinking of his options.
"It's not like you gave me much of a choice." He mumbled.
"So if I assist you in kidnapping Nakahara Chuuya, you promise my sister will not be injured, correct?" The raven smiled nodding.
"That is correct." Both men looked over at Matsuda who was holding Naomi and humming to the song in his earphones. The redhead gritted his teeth trying to keep his composure. He looked back at Fyodor who was still wearing his devilish smile.
"How do I know you won't break your promise, or at the very least one of you won't kill her before I complete my part of the deal?" Fyodor hummed cocking his head.
"She will return with you, and all of her memories of this will be lost. This is the deal Tanazaki. If you agree to assist us, she will be returned with no memories, no injuries, nothing to indicate she was here. And once you've completed your part, your sisters life will never be used as blackmail again. You have my word."

The boy bit his lip hard, in all honesty he really didn't have another choice. Before he could respond the sound of a gun clicking echoed the room.
"And if you disagree, well-" he put the gun on her head removing the safety. "I'm sure you could guess what happens if you say no." Tanazaki clenched his fists and looked down. It was painfully obvious what his answer was going to be, and truthfully he didn't even want to know what Fyodor was going to do with Chuuya.
"So Jun'ichirō, do we have a deal?" The ginger met his gaze, his eyes furrowing.
"We have a deal Dotovesky." Fyodor smiled and put the gun back in his coat.
"She will be back in your apartment room by the time you return to the agency." Tanazaki nodded standing up. "Oh and one more thing, if you tell anyone she will die, do I make myself clear?"
"Crystal." He hissed.
Fyodor watched him leave and Matsuda sighed taking out his earphones. "Boss, I have a question."
"Hmm?"
"How come you asked for the boys help? You know as well as I, that we could secure Chuuya." Fyodor looked up at him, tapping his chin.
"Well, our only goal isn't to secure Chuuya. It is definitely our main objective but there's some other issues we need to resolve." Matsuda nodded knowing not to ask any further questions. He stood up but immediately froze feeling a cold gun pressing against his gun.
"I didn't even hear you come up behind me. How long have you been standing here?"
"Hmmm about two hours." The male voice was cheery, but with a very commanding tone. Matsuda turned to meet his gaze a small smile forming.
"The decay of angels famous clown. Nikolia Gogol." The man named Gogol laughed putting the gun back into his coat. He had a wide smile each tip touching his cheeks. He spun around on his cane letting his cape drape around the other male. Fyodor walked up to him placing a small kiss on his head.
"Welcome back Niko." Nikolia turned his heels to meet his lovers gaze and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you booooooo." Matsuda laughed rolling his eyes. He had forgotten how much energy this man had, and always wondered how these two ended up together. Nikolia turned his attention back to the girl, poking her face to make sure she was sleeping.
"Sooooo what are you two weirdos planning to do with her?" Fyodor laughed resting his head on the crook of the clowns neck.
"Well Matsuda's going to erase her memories and we will go from there." Matsuda nodded picking up the girl and tapping her head and began to alter her memories. After a few minutes he nodded saying she would wake up in an hour or so.
"Then I better explain things quickly." Both Nikolia and Matsuda exchanged glances then looked back at the Russian.
"Because of everything we have planned we can't necessarily just sit here and wait for the boy to make a move. That's why I want Nikolia to infiltrate the armed detective agency, and the port mafia. You will be gathering information and everyday when you have an opportunity you will tell us what you were able to find out. Besides, then we really will have someone watching Tanazaki. The clown nodded and his silly funny energy dissipated and now he looked as scary as Matsuda remembered.
