Kotone let Seido take her to their destination. Her wing folded against her back so that it was out of the way. When he showed her the bookcase of manga and she blinked in shock.
"There are so many." Her eyes skimmed the titles. "Oh you have Inuyasha." She reached out and pulled it so she could examine the cover.
"The art work is different from the anime." the half demon observed. She opened the book and smiled. This always made her feel better. She traced the outline of Inuyasha gently.

"Please be careful with them." He sat down on his bed watching her like the hawk but then completely relaxed at the same time. Those mangas was the one thing that has been with him since the incident.
"That was the song you were singing right?" Slowly he stood up and walked to the side without the wing. He looked over her shoulder and watched her trace the half demon on the front. He knew enough about the manga that he knew that much. So that was why she enjoyed the it so much.

"Yes." she nodded and turned the page. "I guess it's kind of obviouse but I feel like I relate you know?" Kotone closed the book and carefully slid it back in to place.
"Thank you that really did cheer me up." She flashed the smile at him instead of at the manga.
Staying here was certainly going to be an intersting experience.
"I should proabably call now huh?"

At least the manga can be used to help someone. That would be what she wanted anyway. Something that won't be wasted on her old big brother. He gave Kotone a smile as he tried to regain his thoughts to not give away too much.
"You are free to read them when you want. Any of them." He knelt next to the shelf and started nit pic the alignment of the books even though they were already perfect. "They need some use," he said despite him making them all even.
He nodded to her. "Put him at ease for the night."

The conversation with her father went smoothly considering. He yelled at first but that wore down soon enough and she was afraid of the sound in his voice, as if he was almost in tears. She apologized and then started the ordeal of convincing him that she needed to be away from home. She explained about Seido's offer and he seemed reluctant about it but eventually relented.
After that she asked Seido if she could take a shower and once he had shown her ware things were she enjoyed the nice hot water and gave herself a thorough preening.
During Kotone's shower Seido's phone gave a ring. It was her father calling to talk to Seido about the situation.

Kindly, Seido didn't listen to her discussion with her father. He left the room and started working on paperwork. For once he was rather behind on getting it done. Usually, he would have had it done yesterday, or at least most of it. Now, he was only about half way done. So far, it was worth it though.
When Kotone was done with the phone he had helped her with the shower. That was one part he was glad he could afford, an apartment with a shower. He went back to finish his paperwork when his cellphone rang. He was hoping it wasn't the station calling and thankfully it wasn't. He didn't really want to go off to a murder scene right now.
He looked at the caller ID and sighed with a smile. Now what was he in for? "Hello, Seido Susumu speaking," he said though he already knew who it was.

"It is true that you're letting her stay with you?"
Mr. Hane got straight to the point. He needed to know that she wasn't just saying this to make him not worry. He was also finding it hard to believe that he was OK with her wing. "After you found out even?"
His biggest fear was someone finding out about Kotone's demon blood and treating her like a monster or some sort of lab experiment. She had never taken care of herself before and she was bound to be overly trusting.

Sadly, he was quiet use to phone calls starting something like this. Though usually it is about how a case was progressing more then if someone was staying at his house. It was a nice change to the usual phone calls, in fact it was about to make him laugh. He held it in very well though. Last thing he needed was to be insulting the man by accident.
"Yes, she is staying with me," Seido said. "I thought it would be better than having her roam the streets." He probably shouldn't have worded that sentence the way he did. But this man's protectiveness was starting to get on his nerves. Especially with how Kotone has acted so far. "Yes, Mr. Hane. It was quiet a shock finding out that there is an entirely different class of creatures in this world." Most likely, if too many people knew that Seido had learned about these demons it might become dangerous. Sort of like how the FBI is treated in American Movies.

"thats a relief. Well as much of one as I can hope for I suppose." He sighed heavily. "This is all my fault so I don't have a right to complain. Please take good care of her."
He sounded very worn and beaten again there was nothing more he could do and at least now he knew where she was and that she was in good hands.
"Thank you again for helping me. Also Just as a warning.... There may be someone who would hurt her. I hate to drag you in to our affairs but there is a chance you will have to deal with it if they find out she's there."

Someone who would hurt her? This is situation he was in seemed to run a lot deeper then he thought. It couldn't have been a simple matter, after all, there was a girl with wings in his shower. But this was becoming a situation that if he valued his life he should keep out of.
While Seido did value his life, he wasn't going to back down. Once he accepted a case he never was going to say no. "I am a trained police officer. While I do not know much about demons and of the like, I trust my abilities as a police officer."

"I wasn't trying to imply you couldn't handle it just I wanted you to know. Well I need to get going. Please take good care of her." There was a pause as he hesitated to hang up and then a click signaled the end of the the conversation.
It was a bit after this that Kotone came out. She was mostly dray and wearing a lavender nightgown with a high neck and and no back above the waist. It was long sleeved and the edges all had lavender lace and decorative little pink ribbon flowers.
"Thank you very much I feel much better now." She was smiling and her wing and hair both looked fluffy and clean her skin was pink from a good scrubbing.

He bid Mr. Hane a good night before closing his cellphone. He already knew that her father knew much more about this situation then he ever told his daughter. It was making him wonder if he should try to dig into her life to figure it out. A whole new race of people on this Earth. How could they keep themselves a secret? Or could it be that some of those odd people are demons? This whole situation was something he was going to have to look into.
The part about Kotone's life, that might be something he would have to ask permission for. After all, it was her own business. He knew all too well how hard and dangerous the past could be. But what could a lowly human do in this situation? Could he investigate a murder of a demon?
His thoughts were halted as he looked up to the bathroom when he heard the door open. A much needed... distraction. Seido was not really sure what he was expecting the girl to sleep in. She wasn't exactly his little sister that would often steal from either his or their father's drawer to have something to sleep in. This was the real world, and that made Seido smile.
There were many different outfits he had seen when on the job. But never were they in his own apartment. Never has there been a girl in his apartment for more then a few hours. So again he didn't know what to expect. "You look great... I mean better," the detective said. As perhaps a distraction, he pushed his glasses with his index finger up the bridge of his nose to where they belong.
For some reason it had just occured to him that everything she wears will have to be missing the back of in some sort of way. While from the front her nightgown looked rather modest, he knew that the back would be a rather different story.

"Oh thank you." She blushed a little bit as she thanked him and shifted her bare feet. The floor length night gown was just covering them.
"So Uh.... What are the rules of the house?" She asked. This was important she wanted to be a good guest especially since she was staying for free.
She was completely out of her element now and that was making Kotone a little bit shy. She blushed again just out of the embarrassment of not knowing what to do. She was so used to just doing almost anything she wanted as long as it was inside the house. She shifted again and the cool fabric flowed over her legs. IT was a feeling she had always enjoyed and why she preferred a Long night gown to a pair of pajamas, plus the gown looked better without a back.

Rules of the house? He looked at the girl for a moment not exactly sure how to answer that. He had lived with no rules for quiet awhile. The normal house rules had become common sense to him back when he was in high school. Homework was done before fun, house is clean before guests come over, clean up messes when there are some. "I don't really have any," Seido said as his silence persisted far longer then he would have liked.
"No loud parties, no boys after dark, no drinking," Seido rattled off just as a joke. He knew he was going to have to think up something simple and better then that, but he didn't know exactly what to make a rule and what not to. "Nothing illegal," he added laughing.

Kotone smiled at her host. "I can do that." She swept her long purple hair out of her face. "So uhh where should I put my stuff?" This after all seemed like a good question to ask. She had never been in another persons house before and was therefore trying to be extra polite so she didn't screw up.
She was however looking around curiously at the room she was in. This meant also that she was turning this way and that. She turned her back to him, revealing that he had indeed been correct and there was no back from the waist up on her Conservative looking nightgown, at least not until the collar of it.
