First Stage: Thanks to the Japanese Sanctuary, Skul will start with the knowledge that, Morioh has a higher rate of disappearances and that most of the people who disappears are women, though this provides Skul only with ideas of a possible motives or ideas. Maybe he will think it's one person or a whole organization that's behind the disappearances, but thanks to Kira's effiancy he would be certain that magic is somehow involved. Because these disappearances are (seemingly) random, I doubt Skul will think that Kira focused on killing high ranking female mages, but rather that the killer is either a misagonist, or that kidnapping/killing women give the culprate a chubby, or if he thinks a organisation is at work that maybe they are selling those women on the black market. In short Skul has his work cut out for him.

As for Kira, he will be in a difficult spot aswell. He won't be aware that Skul is hunting him and is instead focused on the Duwang Gang. Kira will be at the down low at first, trying to live his normal life while trying to keep up the disguise of Kosaku. Since he recently killed some women his urge to kill won't be as strong as normal, though it wouldn't be long until he will start to feel that itch. Meanwhile, Yoshihiro would've likely informed Kira that a bunch of people who seem slightly diffrent from the crowd are starting to appear around Morioh as of late, maybe even a guy who seem to walk around having his face covered all the time. This will only stress him out as he thinks the goverment is now after him. I see Yoshihiro advising Kira to leave Morioh, but Kira refusing to do so because of his psychotic need to live a normal life. Maybe Kira will attempt to hunt some of the Sanctury investigators down and kill them, though this is unlikely since he needs to follow Kosuka's daily routine to hold the facide. Status: Neither side makes significant progress.

Second Stage:
