Kōri had been awoken by the sound of her alarm clock, groaning, she opened her eyes and looked over at it. "It's 5:30 already...?" She mumbled. "Fuck..." She turned the alarm off and rolled over on her back, staring at the ceiling.
"I wonder how things are going up there..." She said to herself.
After five or so minutes Kōri hopped out of bed and went to take a shower. Afterward, changing. She had no time to dry her thick head of hair, so she let it be and put a hair tie around her wrist to put it up later.
She was about to put her favorite pair of socks on when she realized--they were gone. "Oh...great. We got a new one...huh."
Kōri walked into the living room, and sure enough, two new people were there, sleeping. Aiko was awake of course.
"Hey," Kōri whispered. "New people?" She asked. Aiko nodded. "Keiko and Akira...ex deity halves of Tsukuyomi."
"Alright...well I'm gonna head to work," Kōri replied. Since Finny and April got caught you can go ahead and let them have that room once they wake up. Make sure you tell them about the house rules and such."
Kōri walked out of the house. It was still dark and the air was cold, damp. The snow was taking over the sidewalks, slowly, but surely. Ciel always has long winters, but this was the longest one she had seen in quite a while.

"So," Kōri began. "What do you guys have for me today?" She asked one of the dolls.
It did not speak to her, it just handed her a file for an Ikimono nest that needed to be exterminated. Ikimono were creatures that could not become angels or demons, they had gotten stuck in between. They lived in their own realm for a while, but for some reason, they decided to come down to the human world, and along with the demons and other monsters, practically infested it. Most weren't doing anything bad, except for feeding off of the humans that roamed the streets late at night. Most had learned to live off of other food sources other than human meat, but there were a few who were still addicted to the taste of it. It was a hard addiction to stop, sometimes killing the Ikimono. But it hadn't been happening very often lately. The population was slowly dying off due to lower level witches hunting individual ones.
Soon, Kōri managed to locate the nest, and she walked in...
