"You wretched child!" A loud smack rang through the house. Your mothers words peircing your ears. You didn't mean too, you thought what you did was right.
"Next time you do that, I hope you enjoy being in the basement again!" You held your cheek as your mother continued scolding you. Why? Because you made some rich friends that were giving her money leave.
But the husband was cheating on his wife. He got multiple other women pregnant. What was so wrong about letting his acts come to light? You weren't lying.
A person's soul doesn't lie.

"Hallway." Tetchou pointed down the hallway. You just entered the Hunting Dogs Headquarters after a rather... rough... ride. You think Tetchou didn't know how driving on a public road works.
In all honesty, you didn't know why he told you it was a hallway, but you'll just let him tour you around. You continue walking with him.
Tetchou kept showing you around. Labeling every little thing he must've seen as important, each time turning towards you to make sure you understood.
"Kitchen." Tetchou told you. Oh my, the kitchen was gorgeous. The appliances looked almost new, like they've never been used before. And an island in the middle. Literal heaven compared to what the kitchen at your mother's house was like.
"I think we have ingredients to make cookies.. Teruko tried to make them once, they didn't work out. Maybe it's because she didn't use the same color ingredients..?" Tetchou mumbled. Sounding like he was talking to himself more than you.
You were going to respond with 'okay'.. and then he said same color ingredients. You blink once, twice, three times.
Now you really wonder if these guys have ever eaten cookies.
"Let's carry on." You just nod in response. Too scared to talk to him. Tetchou did seem well-mannered, but you were scared of saying the wrong things. So, you just keep your mouth shut.
Next was the dormitories, where you'll be staying. There were 6 doors in total. 4 for the basic Hunting Dogs, 1 for you. And lastly, one with a golden plate. For the commander.
Fukuchi Ōchi.
In truth, you never once found his strength or justice appealing. Having everyone fawn over him seemed stupid to you. Firstly, he wasn't even attractive. Secondly, all the other Hunting Dogs only got around a third of regonition compared to him, even though they helped in taking down an enemy. Always "Fukuchi" this "Fukuchi" that. You hated it.
Even his own emotions seemed forced and fake.
"That should be everything you need to know." Tetchou speaks up. Breaking you out of your thoughts. Your eyes wander up to the rather... intimidating man infront of you. "I have my first task for you."
You perk up. A task? What will he make you do? Cleaning, cooking, anything could be it. Tetchou seemed like he'd force you to clean the floors.
"Go meet the other Hunting Dogs."
You pause. Thats it? You give Tetchou a nod before he walks away, down the hall you came from. Now that you think about it, the brunette wasn't actually all that scary. He was polite and rather calm. Maybe you just had the wrong impression of him until now.
A feeling of dread crawls up you. Eyes seemingly watching the end of the empty hallway. You were alone, you didn't like that. Quickly you turn around and dash down the hallway.
You soon stop near a better lit area. Large windows decorating the wall, showing the outside greenery. Maybe you could start a garden over here.. with permission ofcourse.
It looks like you were staring for a bit too long. You didn't even hear a set of footsteps drawing near you.
"Out of my way." You hear a male voice say. Your body now on the floor. You groan abit before lifting your body up, looking up to whoever ran into you.
Your met with a familiar red color. A Hunting Dog Uniform. You guess you found your next boss, and it already looks like you failed at living...
The Hunting Dog looks back at you. His eyes seemed to be closed, could he see you?
"Are you the new assistant?" He asks. He sounded annoyed. How could he tell you were someone new? His eyes were closed..
You didn't like his presence, it was the opposite of Tetchou's. They both shared the justice attribute, but there was something else with this one.. was it hate? Sadism? You couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
Your mind snaps back to reality. Registering that he just asked a question. You hurry to your feet, dusting off anything that mightve gotten on your clothes.
"I- yes! Uh, what kind of cookies do you like?"
"Huh."
"Y'know... like chocolate chip.. or sprinkles..?"
"Yes, I know what cookies are." Jouno looked at you (some how, you didnt know how you could feel his eyes on you), absolutely dumbfounded. He was positive you were going to get fired by next week.
You fumble with the ends of your shirt. Your face heating up by how awkward this interaction is. Ofcourse he would know what cookies are!! You hear the man sigh.
"Sugar cookies." Jouno answered. He knew Tetchou was the one that picked you, meaning you knew Tetchou now. In other words, he can't make fun of you (for now) unless he wants to get lectured by Tetchou. And he really hated having to listen Tetchou for that long.
You see the Hunting Dog turn on his heel and leave. You were a bit frozen at the moment. Mainly by the fact that you asked a question and got an answer!
"Thank you mister!" You thank him happily, calling over to him. He returned no signs of acknowledgement. Your just thankful he didn't fire you on the spot when you ran into him. Or more like he ran into you. Either way, your mind still can't rap around how he could "see" with his eyes closed.
He was weird.
