Just when Kideme thought things were really going well for her, they were now starting to turn to shit before her very eyes. First was the fact that two of the people closest to her were feuding about six inches from killing each other. Second was that she had just barely come back alive from a wasted mission and doing so without the Hokage's knowledge or permission. Third was that her tea house was no coming under investigation. Four, one of her other close friends was partially responsible for this investigation. And five, the guy that she was slowly beginning fall for was a cop.

Kideme had always just assumed that Duke was just a registered shinobi with no other jobs aside from learning more about his family. So when it was finally brought up that he was a police officer right in the midst of another girl declaring her love for him, Kideme felt like the world's biggest fool. There had been signs all over the place and she chose to ignore it because she didn't want to believe all those good times they had together were real. A large part of her still wanted to believe that they were, that those sweet memories were true.....But Kideme had seen it enough times in her own tea house to know that most cops would do anything to get more information on a case, and making women fall in love with them was usually no different than getting her to ease into his bed.

Was Duke just...using her? It made her want to cry, but Kideme refused to shed tears and waste another day of her life trying to think about people who only thought of her when it benefitted them. Ever since that damning visit with the kid detective, police were constantly making random visits, both in uniforms and dressed as plain-clothes detectives. Kideme knew her customers like the back of her hands and she knew when people were coming around to be nosy. Either way, they wouldn't find much as most of the evidence they were hoping to find usually only showed itself in the most subtle methods. In any case, it was still unnerving and Kideme was beside herself with anxiety over Akui, the tea house and what could possibly happen.

But with a heavy heart, Kideme was preparing for the worst and was slowly starting to pack her things. With a slightly heavier presence of police coming around, alot of her clients were becoming more scarce during the day, and such meant a lighter flow of traffic, so she saw now need to be there at the moment.
