As they walked through the streets, Akuma's eyes were fixed on Kaito, who was still lurking in the shadows. She couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity and suspicion. What was Kaito doing here? And why was he following them?
Mei seemed to sense Akuma's unease, and she placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Akuma," she said. "We'll find out what Kaito is up to."
Akuma nodded, her eyes still fixed on Kaito. She was determined to get to the bottom of this mystery.
As they turned a corner, Kaito emerged from the shadows, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. "Hey, guys," he said, his voice casual. "What's up?"
Akuma's eyes narrowed, her hand on the hilt of her sword. "What are you doing here, Kaito?" she asked, her voice firm.
Kaito shrugged, his grin growing wider. "I was just out for a walk," he said. "I saw you guys and thought I'd tag along."
Akuma raised an eyebrow, her eyes locked onto Kaito's. She wasn't sure if she believed him.
But before she could ask any more questions, Mei spoke up. "Kaito, we know you're not just out for a walk," she said. "What's really going on?"
Kaito's grin faltered, and he looked around nervously. "Okay, fine," he said. "I was sent to keep an eye on you guys. Zela asked me to make sure you were safe."
Akuma's eyes widened in surprise. Zela had asked Kaito to watch over them?
But before she could ask any more questions, Kaito continued. "I've been watching you guys from the shadows," he said. "And I have to say, I'm impressed. You're a lot more resourceful than I thought you'd be."
Akuma smiled, her eyes locked onto Kaito's. "Thanks, Kaito," she said. "We make a pretty good team."
Kaito nodded, his grin growing wider. "I think we do," he said. "And I'm happy to be a part of it."
As they continued on their way, Akuma couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Kaito. He had been watching over them, making sure they were safe. And now, he was joining forces with them to take down Lady Haruka.
Together, the four of them walked through the streets, ready to face whatever lay ahead. They were a team, and they were unstoppable.
But as they turned a corner, Akuma's eyes landed on a familiar face. It was Lila, Zela's loyal and trusted friend.
"Akuma, I've been watching you," Lila said, her eyes locked onto Akuma's. "Zela asked me to keep an eye on you, just in case things got out of hand."
Akuma smiled, her eyes locked onto Lila's. "Thanks, Lila," she said. "We appreciate it."
Lila nodded, her expression serious. "I'm not just here to watch over you, Akuma," she said. "I'm here to help you take down Lady Haruka."
Akuma's eyes widened in surprise. Lila was joining forces with them?
But before she could ask any more questions, Lila continued. "I've been gathering information about Lady Haruka's plans," she said. "And I think I can help you guys take her down."
Akuma smiled, her eyes locked onto Lila's. "Welcome to the team, Lila," she said.
Together, the five of them walked through the streets, ready to face whatever lay ahead. They were a team, and they were unstoppable.
