[She was always in trouble with someone or other. That was part of why she was so good at her job--she did what she needed to do, regardless of whether or not it was against some rule or guideline she was given. But she had also almost always gone along with Mephisto's orders when he gave them to her directly, especially when he decided to remind her that she was pressing her luck a little bit too far.]

Did they?

[Damn it. She doesn't like the sound of that, but what could she do now that they had already made the agreement? Then again, Shima had already agreed to be Mephisto's man, so it wasn't a surprise to hear that. But what had he offered Kamiki that could tempt her? If she thought she could get exactly what she wanted out of him, she might try that. But he already deflected her questions about Yukio; she doesn't think he'll be that willing to let either Rin or Yukio go so easily, even if they weren't as valuable to him.]

I guess I should ask--what exactly do you want me to do? Since you're tryin' to be so generous, I hafta assume that it's not as easy as avoiding the d-word.

[heheh d-word]
