In his investigation, he followed the clues, the place where he acted, literally indicated the field of action, in the midst of a last attack, it took more than a week in which at least eleven people disappeared in the last few months.

So Tsuki was negotiating with some of his partners and investors, as to the executives of a rival company, about a partnership.

Present moment...

A few hours before heading back to the west.

Akimitsu was a scientist, above all, he was a vampire as such, being immortal and having claws, as well as being an expert fighter.

He was listening intently to a case of missing children who were kidnapped by a dragonfly girl...

- Strange, isn't it? – Akimitsu said.

Well, according to what Akimitsu investigated with the help of Tsuki from a distance...

The city of Tokyo was being ravaged by disappearances of children, those few who were found after weeks of disappearing, ranging from babies kidnapped from hospitals to children as young as 10 years old.

While babies were kidnapped from hospitals, children were kidnapped from parks, in the middle of school break, in parks with only seconds of distraction.

Some children were found, when they were found, they weren't fully human, they looked like locust parts, as if they had mutated, but they had been found, with parts eaten, dead, without parts of their bodies...

Over the weeks, as they started to investigate with the city's local werewolf detective, as they started following the tracks, the kids were all from the same hospital, the kids were all from Tokyo city, so there was a modus operandi, there was only one region of operations, besides that, they started being kidnapped, in a period of a month ago.

All investigations, police reports, they followed records of unexplained occurrences, accidents and deaths...

So, that's when they started to list people who lived in the same region, who had accidents, who were close by, where children were found at the entrance of an abandoned shed near the entrance to the reserve, between the road that led to the entrance and cut the highway.

Adding up like this, they started looking for accidents and murders, where they found the space of time between what would be just a reported accident in the same period a hit-and-run...

According to police reports, there was a fatal accident involving a 25-year-old pregnant woman, who was run over and killed...

- Who ran her over? – A detective questioned her.

- A woman, Shino Aki. – Akimitsu said.

- So, it was an accident, right? – The detective questioned him.

- The investigations, point out and arrested the author of the crime a month ago, she was the rejected lover of the victim's husband, who happened to be pregnant, whose child was born and was also killed by the dragonfly, who was also killed, by the same dragonfly ...

- So the husband has something to do. – The detective said.

- He's a Shinto priest. – The detective said.

- The temple is close to the reserves where the bodies are found. – The detective said.

- Looks like we have to pay her husband a visit. – Akmitsu said.

So they drove towards the entrance of the temple, which looked abandoned and empty, they took their weapons and entered the temple, looking through the corridors, down through the corridors and leading to the underground, where they found what was left of the body of several children being eaten, in the background, the monk praying.

- Stopped. – The werewolf said.

- You shouldn't be here. – He said, when he turned around, when he stopped praying, what would one day be his wife, was a giant dragonfly monster, getting up and advancing towards them.

- Why do you say that? – The werewolf questioned him.

- The only thing that keeps you quiet and without me attacking is my prayer. – He said, meditating and whispering.

- Why did you do that, brought her back? – Akimitsu questioned him.

- I couldn't bear to live my life without her and my son. - He said.

- She is no longer your wife, what you did, did not work. – Akimitsu said.

- I'll try harder, who knows, she will go back to being human, if she eats more children and babies. - He said.

- It won't. - The werewolf said, advancing towards the dragonfly that was eating a baby.

- No, stop, don't do that, I love her. – He said, stopping when he stumbled, the creature at that time stopped, looking towards the three men, ready to attack.

- She can't control herself yet. – He defended her.

- Well, I hope you don't mind us solving the problem for you. – Akimitsu said.

- No... - But it was too late what he was going to say was interrupted by an electrical grid thrown at him causing him to fall trapped with a scream.

Then it all happened.

- Well, she's a dragonfly, I'm a werewolf. - He said, putting the weapon away and showing the claws and transforming.

Beside him, Akimitsu said. “I'm a vampire, nothing better than two against one. - He said.

They leapt towards the huge dragonfly when they didn't let it attack them, cutting them in half.

All of them were found in pieces, so they killed the monster, calling for reinforcements, forensics and police over the communicator.

It didn't take long for the police and experts to arrive there to collect the evidence and arrest the mad monk who came out screaming.

- You killed them, I will never forgive them.

The man was removed from there by the police, while the experts collected evidence.

- Do you need my help or can I leave? – Akimitsu asked.

He bowed in thanks, then said. - Thank you for your help.

- See you then. – Akimitsu said, as he left there, calling his plane with remote control, heading towards the west.
