The Request

"Kougami-san?" asked Akane as Kougami had entered the office.

"Yeah?"

"Will you do me a favor?"

"What kind of favor?"

"A personal one." Kougami noticed that she was somewhat nervous, but didn't ask. He turned on his computer pulling out his chair to sit.

"Okay, shoot."

"Are you free on Saturday?"

"Huh?"

Akane sighed before repeating the question. "Are you free on Saturday, Kougami-san?"

"If we finished up this case by then, yeah. Otherwise good luck finding a date."

"...How'd you know?" Kougami turned away from his computer with a smirk.

"I'm not that blind to favors." Akane sighed before continuing with her work. This is just great. She thought sarcastically before she greeted Ginoza.

~Two hours later~

"So what time do you want me to pick you up?"

"Huh?" Akane stumbled over a small crack in the sidewalk, but easily balanced herself from falling flat on her face. Luckily, they had hunted down the criminal that they had been trying to find for three to four days, and the others were out of earshot as well. She sighed in relief as Kougami said. "Well?"

"Is noon okay for you?"

"Yeah."

~Saturday~

Akane had to admit she was nervous as she saw Kougami pull up in front of her apartment from her window. She had to ask herself why she had thrown Kougami into this mess of hers. She groaned remembering why she did what she did just days ago.

~Flashback to three days ago~

"Akane-chan!~" Akane turned around as she was hugged by none other than her mother as she saw her father come out of their family car.

"Mother? What are you doing here?" she asked as her mother eyes reflected hers. Her mother smiled. "We wanted to visit how you were doing,,...Is everything alright at your workplace?"

"Yeah everything's fine." said Akane stiffly. She knew that they were against her decision to join the MWPSB, due to the risks so they said.

Akane's mother pulled away with a sigh. "Are you sure, Akane? Of all the places in the Bureau it had to that."

Akane stepped back. "Why do you have to say it like that?"

Akane's father placed his hand around Akane's mother's waist with a sad almost pleading look in his eyes. "Well we're always concerned about your safety, Akane you know that."

"Will you please get to the point, father?"

"We heard from the grapevine that you were seeing someone in the MWPSB." Akane blushed a shamefully red. "N-No! Why is it that every time you bring this up? and I'm not dating anybody there!"

Her parents both raised eyebrows. "We want grand-kids!"

Akane groaned. "MOM! It's not like that with him!"

She instantly covered her mouth. Then proceeded to try and think of ways to get her parents off her back!

"Oh really?"

"Yes!"

"Akane, don't force us to visit your workplace right now. We all know what will happen."

Akane gulped at the horrifying thought. "What if I bring him with me this weekend? Then will you stop bugging me about him?"

Her parents grinned manically. "Then we'll see you later!"

~Flashback ends~

Akane snapped out of her thoughts as she heard a loud knock on her door. She opened as she looked at smirking Kougami standing at her front door. "Nice clothes."

She looked down her face turning red at the sight of her current state of a flimsy short white night gown that clearly showed off her legs. Mortified, she slammed the door in front of his face. Quickly changing into one of her favorite outfits. Before opening the door once again and speed walking to the car. I'll never hear the end of it from him. She thought folding her arms as soon as the ex-Inspector got into the car.

"Where to?" He asked making a quick reminder in his head to tease about that the next day.

She quickly gave him the quickest directions. Along the way there the car ride there was pretty silent. Attempting to break the ice, Akane inquired. "You're not going to ask who we're going to meet?"

"I have a hunch." Kougami glanced at Akane, observing that she was dressed some what formally. She was in a comfortable knee length mango colored stretch and sleeveless dress, cream colored leather platforms, and a small pearl necklace. Which he found quite what was the word appealing? Now that he thought about he never really wanted much less needed a woman in his life. Could I take on a serious relationship without hurting her or her Hue? Kougami thought as he pulled up to a house not far from the city, but still had holographic features.

They got out of the car as Akane stopped at the front ringing the bell before turning to Kougami with a grin.

"Just so you know, we're going to meet my parents."

"Huh?"
