"They were--oh look! No one stole it!--Intel." He scooped up the pelvic bone, carrying it proudly as he trotted beside Ryouma. "An' they didn't do anything with me. They asked us more questions about our mission, and Tsume got angry and threw a chair. Then, instead of leaving, we walked down the hall--but I must have accidentally walked into a cell. They told me they were interrogating Tsume and I'd see her soon, and I told them they should interrogate me and I'd rip their throats out, but they wouldn't do it. Then she came and got me, and that's when she smelled bad and we went and got drinks with Ginta."

It was a long explanation, especially holding his bone. At the end of the corridor, he raced into his and Tsume's apartment and put the kill down, then scampered back out. "That's easier. She's in the gym."

He waited for Ryouma to go through the stairwell door first, then hurried after. "Also, we saw Kakashi today, and she smelled bad and lied when she said she was glad you were mounting him. But she wouldn't admit that she lied." His ear flopped as he continued, "And then she yelled at me. But I have an eyepatch now! And Kakashi--" Here he paused dramatically, "Tried to be the alpha dog."

Ryouma didn't seem as impressed by this information as Kuromaru had hoped.

"Over me!" he added, in case that bit had been misunderstood. "But don't worry! Tsume made him take the wire off my muzzle."
