The museum was specially cleared for them to look for the curse.

The creature swims in darkness. In pockets of darkness to be exact.

Dante's phone rings and he picks it up " what ? Shisui-san."

Shisui : take good care of people ok ?

Dante ; you're worried? *Laughs a little* that's new.

The creature watches over his prey...

Shisui: what does that mean ? I've been saving people, haven't I ?

Dante ; you have never ... Called before.

Shisui: she's a guest from Japan.

Dante: she can handle herself. I'll run over if I hear anything.

The creature sets its eyes on one... It slids out one it's tentacles and slices the black darkness with its blade on its tentacle. It extends it out the gap...

Shisui: run over ? Aren't you near her ?

Dante ; you sound extremely worried. You know her ?

Shisui: I don't know how strong she is. What if she gets hurt ? It's not like we bring her to the organisation.

It slowly reaches out ... For it's unguarded prey...

Dante ; there's that. Don't worry. We'll think of something.

Shisui: you mean, I'll think of something.

It reaches to the height of its prey's neck...

" Got to go. " And Dante threw a paper folded dagger in the tentacle's direction.

The tentacle got cut off and at the same time, a long blade got stabbed into the shadow. Hard.

The paper folded dagger flies back to its owner. Dante walked over " you ok ?"

Ririro: um. It escaped. I hurt it though. It hides in shadows.

Dante : I didn't tell you that, how did you know ?

Ririro ; so it is the one you're looking for then.

Dante ; hai. How did you know ?

Ririro ; I could feel it, right below me. It was following me all along, as expected.

Dante : as expected ?

Ririro : .... Those things like me. I attract them . I'm pretty good bait.

Dante : oh. Never heard of that before.

Ririro: so this is a good place for it to feast. A lot of dark spots and the museum opens till very late at night.

Dante : damn it. It escaped again.  Should have tagged it when I had the chance. Maybe it's still in this building.

Any shadow, it could hide. & So it jumps onto a passer by's one.

Ririro : .... Shit.

Dante ; are you kidding me ?!! It left the place ?

Ririro ; I guess it's sly. Sorry I couldn't help you much.

Dante ; you helped.

Shisui: so ? Killed it ?

Ririro : escaped. Sorry.

Shisui: so what are your plans now ?

Ririro: .... Go home. I guess... There's nothing else I can do here.

Shisui; Dante said you're great as bait. Help us track and kill it ?

Dante: shisui-san!!

Shisui: he really needs a partner for the mission. And I am currently a little occupied.

Ririro ; oh...

Dante; it's fine. Really.

Shisui: please. You are taking an off here anyways. You go back, you kill unpures. You stay here, also kill unpures. Except, Dante here is your tour guide on a trip . Holiday on the job.

Ririro ; you'll pay me ?

Shisui: I can get that with the organisation.

Ririro ; holiday...
