Drrr

Ikebukuro, a city of bright lights and busy streets. All types of people roam these areas. On a normal day in the heart of the city one would see shoppers everywhere, teenagers gossiping and doing god knows what, people on dates or doing business things, color gang members, and me. It was my first time to Ikebukuro, and it was a permanent move. I had come all the way from the United States and it was a huge change, but a change I was well prepared for-- or so I thought.

It felt really normal, walking around the city. Except the fact that gang members roamed scared the crap outta me. I gotta remember to avoid those guys.

The thing that WASN'T normal for me to see, yet everyone else acted casual about it, was the two guys that messed up my life. I just wanted a normal life and a new start that I needed, but no, their stupid fight changed EVERYTHING.

I was walking down the street, I had just stopped to drop my bags off in the condo I was going to move into. My landlord wasn't in, so I decided to walk around and pay him when he got back. I had enough money to get one close to the city. I really wanted to see the sites, so I ventured to the heart. After a good, oh I dunno, 3 hours walking around I became hungry. Where is there to eat around here? I sighed and walked around, so bored and hungry. I was about to go back home when I noticed a big black man handing out fliers. He had an interesting get up, he definitely was Japanese. I approached the man, and saw what building he was in front of. "Wait, does that say Russia Sushi? What the heck is that?" I asked myself. I shrugged it off and began to cross the the large street to try out the restaurant. I hadn't payed much attention to the crowd that had gathered until I had to start shoving my way through it, roughly. "Either they have AMAZING food, or this is the busy time in Ikebukuro," I grumpily said. I hadn't noticed the repetitive colors the people were wearing, and I hadn't noticed what they were all gawking at. I finally pushed my way to the front of the crowd with a smile. I set my eyes on the Sushi place and proceeded to walk to it. I heard a yell, turning my head I saw the big black man waving his hands at me, what was he saying? He pointed and I turned my body. Just like that I was sandwiched. A knife came flying at me and I turned to try and not get it in a vital spot. As I turned a large piece of machinery was flying midair at me. Before I could move I was struck by both things, and blacked out instantly.

I finally woke up with a groan. "Ugh what happened?" I groaned. I rubbed my head and sat up slowly. I looked around at the unfamiliar area."Wait, Where am I?" I said again. I was scared, what had happened when I blacked out. I began to panic a little she I finally made myself calm down. Suddenly a blonde man came in to my room. He was handsome and had really nice blonde hair. He wore glasses and what looked like some sort of suit. He shut the door behind him and I pretended to be asleep, or unconscious or whatever. He sat down and put his elbows on his knees, holding his head in his hands. He was muttering something but I pretended not to notice. Quietly I turned my head, then my body. He mumbled louder, he was totally freaky. "I bet he's gonna kill me or something, and he brought me to his house so no one would see," I said to myself. As I quietly rolled over I noticed a lamp to my side. It was either, risk what could happen, or make a move now. Quickly I grab the lamp, he looks up at the sudden movement. As he reached out I smashed the lamp into the said of his head. His glasses fly off, cracking a bunch. He sits still, still breathing at least. Then some blood drips down his forehead. He turns his face toward me, hair covering his tilted head. "What the hell.." He grumbles quietly, still not moving.

"Look, let me go, I don't want trouble," I command as I begin to stand up on the couch I had been laying on.

"What the hell," he says louder.

"I'm.. Serious.." I keep saying

"What the hell!" He yells this time, loud and long.

Out of fear I scream "STOP" and smack him. As my hand hits his face he grabs my wrist. Terrified, tears grow in my eyes. He looks up, god he was handsome. Our eyes lock, and there is an odd connection. We sat there staring for a while. His stare turned into an expressionless glare. He let go pushing me off slightly.

"Damn, I was just making sure you were ok. They said you may not make it,"he growled.

"Wait, you didn't kidnap me? You helped me? Why, I'm a stranger?" I quizzed him.

"Cause, damn it, it's my fault you even got hurt. Mine and that... Fleas.." He growled, clearly growing more angry. I'm guess the flea is a person he doesn't like.

"Wait, were you the knife thrower or the--" I began until he cut me off.

"No, I threw the vending machine," he said bluntly.

What kind of person can just chuck a fricken vending machine!! I grew concerned again, until I noticed the blood wasn't drying, but just coming out still.

"Sit down" I command

"What, why?"

"Just sit down already"

He finally does, and I come closer. Ripping off the crummy fabric off the blanket, I wrapped it around his head. I ask where the bathroom is and he points. I quickly run in, grabbing all the medical things I could find and recognize. (There was a kit, must be at a doctors house). I return to him, putting my survival skills to use. After he was cleaned up he thanked me. I began to have a conversation with him. He was super kind, making sure I was ok.

"I.. I'm sorry I hit you,"I blushed,"what's your name..."

He rubbed his head a little and finally said,"I'm fine, really. Oh and it's Shizuo, Shizuo Heiwajima. What's yours?"

" I'm Arisu Sumisu," I replied," By the way, how did you hit me with a vending machine?"

" I threw it?" He said with a puzzled voice.

"Wait, you picked it up and threw it?! How the hell did you--" I was cut off. My breathing was shortened as a sharp pain spread through my body. I could feel the pain coming from my back, I had nearly forgotten how hurt I probably was. All my jumping around must have really hurt. I crashed down into the bed. Worried, Shizuo instantly got to helping me. Sweat started to drip down my head, and my vision blurred. "Dammit," he said,"Dammit. Dammit. Dammit!" Just then a boy in glasses entered the house. "SHINRA! GET YOUR LAZY @$$ OVER HERE!" Shizuo yelled. The boy came running over, pushing Shizuo to the side. "She's fine," he said," The wound just opened a little, sending lots of pain. I'll fix her, give me a sec."

Fine? I don't feel fine! Thoughts like that ran through my head until I passed out again.

When I woke up Shizuo was sleeping in the chair next to me. The boy with glasses and a lab cost came into the room. "Tea?" He asked. I nodded and took the tea. He began to tell me who he was, all about my injury and how lucky I was, and blah blah blah. He was super boring. Right as i was about to pass out from boredom, the door opened. In came a woman with a biker helmet. "Celty!" Shinra cried out, clearly happy. The girl pulled out a phone and typed something out showing it to Shinra who read it and smiled. They continued a conversation like this for a few minutes.

"She must be a mute," I said to myself. Then I noticed her clothes. They were black, but not normal black. They were darker than night itself, it sent a chill down my back. She wore a biker helmet with cat like ears and lots if stickers. "Why hasn't she taken the helmet off," I thought again. But no sooner than I asked she took offer her helmet and walked towards me.

It was a completely terrifying moment. After she took her helmet off, it exposed her neck, and it would of exposed her face. If she had one. The headless woman walked toward me and sat down, she typed in her phone and stretched out to show me what it said.

--don't be afraid. I won't hurt you, my name is Celty, what's yours?

"Uh, Arisu. Arisu... Su...Sumisu," I stuttered out.

-- :) what an interesting name. Are you ok? Shinra here told me what happened. It sure sounds like you got mixed into a big fight between Shizuo and his enemy.

I thought for a second, wondering how to reply. I didn't know the enemy, and I hadn't seen him either. Finally I said,"All I wanted was to try Russia Sushi for the first time.

There was a pause. Celty typed and showed me her phone. Several laughing emoticons showed up.

-- Well, why didn't you say so? I'll make sure to bring you some tomorrow!

I smiled, I guess she wasn't all that scary. Then Shizuo woke up, stretching. "What's going on?"

We all talked about the accident, Shizuo explained who he was fighting. His name was Izaya Orhiara, and everyone advised me not to go near him. I simply nodded. Then my phone buzzed. I pulled it out of my pocket, a huge crack spread across the center. No surprise since I was hit with a vending machine. I read it and instantly began to get upset, so upset everyone could see.

--what's wrong?

"I didn't show up In time to pay my rent... My land lord is totally mean. He just gave my condo to someone else... he said all my crap is In His office and I can get it tomorrow, " I began to tear up a little.

-- guess we need to find you a place to stay. Shinra, do you know anywhere?

They sat thinking for a while.

Shizuo finally said,"Kasuka isn't in town for the next week. You can crash at my place."

I paused. Live at a boys house.... I know I'm about to turn 21.... But live at his house. Not only that but the boy that hit me with a vending machine. But, before I could reply Celty interjected.

--Perfect! Thanks Shizuo! Arisu, Shizuo is a great guy, and his brother is too! You will love staying with them. Right Shizuo?

He just shrugged. Then he stood up and turned toward the door. He began to walk toward it, pulling out a cigarette box and a lighter, then as he lit the cigarette he turned. "You coming?"

I silently nodded, and stood up, following him out the door.

I had been living with Shizuo for not quite a month. His brother still wasn't back, wonder why. My plan was to hurry up and get out of his house as soon as I could. Get money, get out, that's the goal. I had worked for a while to find a job, and I finally got one at a decent Manga/Anime store. It had mangas, animes, collectible figurines, and cosplay stuff. Sadly it was so small it hardly got customers, plus the store manager (the only other person working in there) was mega creepy. I had went to work for a while and made enough money. I went to talk to Shizuo about moving out.

"I want to move out"

"Huh?"

"I, would like to move out"

"Why"

"Well, I don't like having to depend on you... Or anyone"

"Where are you moving to?"

Can't tell if he's concerned or not.. "Not sure yet"

"You don't know?"

".....no"

"How about you stay. Don't buy a new house, just pay me for rent"

I didn't expect such a clever idea....

"Well... I guess.. I guess that would work"

"Alright"

He wasn't really that much of a conversationalist. He just kept smoking his cigarette. Well, guess it's figured out. I walked to my room, his brothers room, and grabbed something. I returned outside and held out my hand. "What's this?" "This months rent" I replied.

He shook his head refusing to take it this month. Reluctantly I gave up, but, I was definitely sneaking extra money in with next months rent. I walked back to my room.

"Hey!" He yelled," don't even think about sneaking extra in next month either!"

Damn him.

A week later I was at work. My manager hasn't become any less creepy. That's for sure. It's also the day things really changed. I was working my shift, and my manager had just left for his lunch. It wasn't a very busy day in the shop, and all I was doing was stacking stuff and bringing in the new inventory. I finally got done setting up the Anime labeled Coke cans in a 3 dimensional pyramid. I was actually proud of how it looked and how hard I worked. "Wow it's good! ...... I have no life." Once I got done with that I stacked the new book selections on their designated shelves. I really thought this job would have been more fun, stacking stuff is really boring. After about 30 minutes I had finished with all the books, I'm a power stacker now! I was about to sit down and read a manga when I noticed a box in the far corner of the small, square shop. "Shit, I forgot to hang up the cosplay stuff," I mumbled to myself. I grabbed the box and carried it to the other corner where clothes were hung up. I has hung up two outfits when I pulled out the third. I noticed it was a cute little outfit. It was black and totally Lolita. I peeked at the tag: it's my size. Looking around I made sure the coast was clear. I slipped on the outfit, and it was a perfect fit. (http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Gothic-Lolita-Made-Kawaii-Cosplay-Natural-Dress-Costume-/18/!CBmn7rwBGk~$(KGrHqIOKiwEzSKiJTJ+BNI(frjW9w~~0_35.JPG). Then put my hair in cute pigtails, that looked cuter since my hair was curled. Once everything was on and such I left the cramped dressing room to go look in the mirror. Since the last mirror had fallen and broken I had to go back to the main area of the shop to look. I got to the mirror and made cute little poses, thinking I was alone. Well, as it turned out some boys and girls had entered the shop, and were staring at me. I was so embarrassed, I returned so red my face felt like it was burning. I turned to go back to the changing room when 5 girls came running up to me. Asking a bunch of questions.

"Where did you get that outfit!"

"Are you a movie star?"

"You look so cute!"

"How old are you?"

"Do you work here?"

Not knowing what to do it answered the questions.

"um... Here"

"No I'm not a movie star"

"Thank you?"

"21...."

"Yes, I do"

Everyone loved me in this outfit, so much that they asked me to try on more and more. Each time I came out with a new look they only squealed and got more excited. I was actually starting to have fun, that is until my boss came in. He seemed mad at first and began to yell. But the cute girls came running up to him. They told him how much they loved the outfits and how, after seeing them on me, they were each gonna buy one. Many of the boys also complimented me and ask for pictures. My boss saw this as a way to grow his business. He began to make pictures of me cost money. It wasn't long until I became the poster girl of the shop. Each day I would get to work and he would lay out a new outfit. I would go get dolled up and work around the shop: indoors and out. It seemed to actually work to. The store got PLENTY of attention, and so did I. I was so embarrassed at first, with all the people staring at me dressed up like an anime character. As time passed I began to love it, I even got paid more. My boss ended up hiring two more (teenage) employees. A girl named Kachiko and a boy named Harin. They didn't come as often as I did but they did look up to me since I was older.

Shizuo was fun to be around. He worked at random times, unlike me since I had a set schedule, so he and I didn't always see each other. When we did, we would eat breakfast together, or watch movies. Sometimes we would go out to Russia Sushi, he knew it was my favorite place. There was even times he would surprise me by bringing me some or take me to it randomly. We got close though the two months I was there. I guess I filled the void that his brother left. I'm still not sure why he hasn't shown up or what he's doing. Shizuo doesn't bring him up so I don't ask. The thing was, Shizuo had someone who didn't like him. Someone he didn't like either. They seemed to be mortal enemies. I was caught in the middle. I had never seen the person, just heard his name. Shizuo would occasionally turn and start sprinting in some direction. It use to scare me, until I realized that he had noticed that the boy was around and he took off to beat him up, or as Shizuo says.... Kill him. I don't think he actually would kill him, maybe beat him to a bloody pulp, but not kill. What I hadn't known was that Shizuo WOULD kill him, and that the boy had been stalking me.

Everyday I would walk to work. I would take the bus and stuff too, just depending on my mood and how late I was running. I hadn't noticed, ever, the dark haired boy that would casually follow me. He never got close, he merely watched from afar. He was quiet and sneaky so I hadn't noticed him. I think that Shizuo would notice, but he never walked with me to work.

Except that one day....

Shizuo and I got to eat breakfast, it had been awhile. When we were done I got dressed and packed lunch. I knew today would be a busy day in the shop and I wouldn't have a long enough lunch to go somewhere. Shizuo seemed, on edge, about something. He would stay silent and stair out the window. Creepy, really creepy.

"Well, see you later Shizu-chan," I said, hoping to get a reaction.

"You have work?" He asked. I knew I told him yesterday, but he seemed out of it, he didn't even freak out when I called him Shizu-chan!

"Ya, just like almost everyday,"I said,

"I'm gonna go with you, is that alright,"he asked, still out of it.

I was thrown back a little shocked that he would want to walk with me."Yes. It's fine," I replied humbly. I wonder if he's on drugs.

We began to walk, until I decided to take the bus today so he wouldn't need to walk. We paid the bus fair, and sat down. He still seemed.... Different. I just wasn't sure how exactly. We were about to the stop when I felt Shizuo tense up next to me, like he saw something.The bus stopped, and we got off. We had to walk a block or so, since this was the closest bus stop to the shop. We began walking but he was still tense, his guard was up. I began to panic. "Is someone trying to kill him, or me? What is wrong, is he mad at me? What do I say what do I do?" I thought. I turned to say something to Shizuo, when he shoved me out of the way. He pushed kind of hard and I lost my balance. With a huge 'Thud' I landed right on My butt. My eyes watered up a little as the pain from my tailbone smacking the concrete spread through my body. I looked up to see him chasing someone around the corner of the block. I got a glimpse of him, the brownish black hair, the furry coat. I began to stand up when I looked at the ground. Blood was in the spot where Shizuo had been standing. I ran toward my work, there was no way I was going to catch up to him now. I ran in, bursting through the doors, scaring my manager. "What the hell!?" He shouted. I ignored him and went to the store phone. I dialed Shizuo's number, I listened to the phone ring and ring. No answer. I hung up and dialed again. This time he answered. He was yelling at the boy, Izaya, and I could tell he was going after him. "Shizuo! Are you ok!"I worriedly yelled into the phone. "Ya I'm fine, I'll see you tonight, bye,"he replied, and that was all he said. "But wait--" I tried, but he hung up. That .... That.... JERK! I slammed the phone and went storming into the main building. My manager looked at me, saw my anger, and didn't bother to ask. He knew better. I asked what costume and he pointed. I proceeded to to go put it on. It was very cute and innocent for a maid costume (http://www.stellalee.net/2013/06/review-dolly-eye-honey-hazel.html) . I walked out of the dressing room and began doing my work around the store. It was Saturday, so people would be showing up soon. "You look cute," my manager said. He is the biggest creep in the world. I ignored him and waited by the window. Shizuo had me worried. Who was that boy, I don't get why Shizu-chan hates him so much, and I still don't know what his face looks like. I made a pouty face at the lack of knowledge I had. I looked out the window again and saw customers down the road. I straightened up and tried to get rid of the worry in my head. I skipped out the front door. I looked innocent and cute. I grabbed my cute broom and began to sweep the ground in front of the store. I got the attention of the boys passing by. They began to plush and stare in wonder. I kept sweeping, acting ignorant to their stares. They began to get closer. I turned around and waved cutely, the blushed more. Finally I skipped up to them and said, "Hey, guys. How are you today?" They stuttered out some answer and I replied with,"How about you come visit my shop?" I winked,and didn't wait for an answer. I instantly grabbed two of the 3 boys' wrists and pulled them into the shop. They were followed by their friends. I let them browse the shop, they didn't seem to interested in this shop. I chose one and went up to them. "Is there anything I can help you with, Master?" I cutely said, to get their attention. He tried to tell me he wasn't sure what to get or what's as good. I grabbed his hand instead of wrist and pulled him to the most expensive corner in the store, "This is my favorite stuff, master. I love everyone that has it, just like any girl would." He blushed so hard his face was red. Instantly him and his friends grabbed handfuls of the stuff. Seeing that they had enough I grabbed the boys hand again and pulled him to the counter. That's where they checked out. Before he left I gave him and his friends cute hugs. As he walked out of the shop he handed me a box full if Pockys and a cute bracelet. I thanked him with a bow and he and his friends left. "Well you sure know how to manipulate men, don't ya?" My boss teased. I stuck out my tongue and continued that for most if the afternoon.

This must have been my best costume, or those boys must of hurried and told everyone they knew to come here, because soon many started showing up, along with some girls, the shop got busy, fast. I was getting ready to get off at about 4. I hadn't taken my outfit off yet because I was talking to a 5 year old and her mother. The girl was adorable. I went and bought her a sucker, patted her in the head and waved goodbye as they left. That's the stuff I love most about this job, the people. Well, I guess people loved me to. While I was outside waving to the child, a bunch of fancy dressed people had entered the shop. Apparently they wanted me. When I walked in my manager called me over. It must be serious. I got over to the counter and stood on the side across from the fancy people, and next to my boss. I was skeptical of these people but greeted them nonetheless.

"Greetings Ms. Sumisu. We are from a broadcasting company. We have caught word of your popularity and would like to feature you in a show,"the Man said.

"Oh," I said shocked, "Really?"

The woman nodded her head enthusiastically and said,"Yes! Almost all the high school kids talk about you, as well as the Otakus and many others. It seems your blog has become popular as we'll as your working in this shop."

"Oh? My blog huh?" I said, sending a glare to my boss. That jerk must have made a blog under my name.

"Would you be interested? You would be busy with the show for about 2-4 weeks. It's live as well. You will be working with a very popular actor as well. This shop will get a lot of publicity as well," the man said again. With that my boss encouraged me greatly, so I accepted the deal.

"Great," the woman said,"We will leave in 3 days. You will have certain body guards to, just for safety."

"Actually, I have a body guard in mind. May I have him come along with?" I asked politely. There was a long pause before she said yes, and then the two left.

"I can't believe it. I'm going to be on TV, and on purpose!" I smiled.

My boss shook his head, the only reason he was letting this happen was because his shop would be publicized. "Go home Arisu, you have the rest of the days off. Do good on your show," he sighed. For once he was sincere. I smiled and waved goodbye as I left the shop. I decided to walk to Russia Sushi, I felt like I should treat myself to a snack. Shizuo didn't deserve any, I was gonna get his favorite and eat it right in from of him since he pushed me. I walked toward Russia Sushi, it was only five blocks away, and I had already walked two.

I was beyond happy when I saw the giant Russian man handing out flyers. He was always so cheery, I didn't get why people were scared of him. "Heya Simon, how's business today?" I asked with a smile.

"Ah, Arisu! Business good, you come eat today?!" He replied with an obvious accent.

I nodded and smiled," Yes! I've been wanting this for weeks!!"

"Ah good, you come with me," he smiled back and guided me into the shop.

The other Russian man was at the sushi bar and didn't notice me at first. But when he saw Simon his eyes finally spotted me.

"Long time no see! Where have you been hiding Arisu!?" He said to me, his accent wasn't as noticeable as Simons.

I blushed since he put me on the spot," Just busy working, I haven't had a lot of money lately."

"Well that's no good. Here's an idea, since you are a friend and our most constant customer how about some sushi on the house?" He replied.

"What no, I couldn't,"I said humbly trying to reject. They wouldn't let me reject and I got filled up with sushi. I laughed and joked with all the people I knew. Simon left to resume his job of handing out flyers. I joked with the sushi chef. Just then 4 young kids came in. I noticed their school uniforms, guess they aren't that young. I ignored their presence at first, but soon I found myself blankly staring at them. There was two girls and two guys, they looked like couples.the one girl seemed happy and sweet. She had a soft smile and clung to the boy next to her. He was very attractive, with dyed blonde hair and piercings. He made jokes that the other boy awkwardly laughed at. That boy was scrawny and had black hair, he wore one of the high school uniforms. The girl next to him, I originally assumed to be a girl friend sat almost perfectly silent. She didn't flirt and was to shy and awkward to be dating anyone. She wore a school uniform too. She has classes and dark, short hair. Her chest was big like mine. She noticed me stating and we made eye contact. There was something about her, something off and different. She stared at me, and at first blushed as a studied her. There, I figured it out, she caught what I figured out to, gaudily she looked away. She's a --- I was cut off by the sushi guy. "It's good, no?"

I nod my head, of course it's good, this is the best place ever. I begin to grab my purse and such to leave when he asks,"Take some for the road? I'm sure Shizou would want some!" I smile and say yes, taking the sushi,but it seemed the teens all overheard because they all were looking at me. I tried to act like I didn't notice, grabbing my sushi I turned and began to walk toward the door. As I walk past them they are quiet and I nearly get to the door, then the blonde boy says," you know Shizuo? Shizuo Heiwajima?" I stop and turn to him," Yes, yes I do. I live with him."

"You live with Shizuo Heiwajima?!" The black haired boy asked shocked.

"Ya... Why?" I asked

"He's kinda... Well" the boy went on.

"Violent, dangerous, ya know" the blonde said.

"Tell me about it," I said,"how we first met was when he hit me with a vending machine as I crossed the street."

They went quiet.

"Haha, no way!! That's so messed up!" The blonde laughed.

"Masaomi! That's rude!" The black haired boy said.

"No, he's right, it's pretty messed up," I laughed.

"Are you guys dating?" The girl sitting next to "Masaomi" said.

"No, just roommates," I replied.

"Well if he ever gets boring or too violent you can hang with us!""Masaomi" said," I'm Masaomi Kida! And this lovely girl is---, my girlfriend!" He wrapped his arm around the girl next to him and pulled her tight. She blushed and waved.

"Uh... I'm Mikado Ryyugamine," the black haired boy said with a stutter.

The black haired girl turned her glaring, expressionless look toward me," I'm Anri Sonahara." She bowed her head.

"Well nice to meet you all," I said," I'm Arisu Sumisu."

The blonde girls eyes got wide and excited,"Wait, you are THE Arisu Sumisu!?"

"Uh... I guess "I replied confused.

"I just saw a report on you! You are a hugely popular cosplayer! They are gonna have a whole mini series with you! No wonder you looked familiar!"she said excitedly.

"Ya, well, I'm late, I'll see you around," I said turning around, waving my hand and walking away. I ignored the things they said, and exited the building.

It was late outside. The moon shined above the lit up city, it was almost impossible to see its shine. I smiled at the site of it, the moon always made me happy. I walked down the street toward Shizuo's house. The wind was chilly. A chill trickled up my spine as I continued to walk down the street.

The part of town I was entering wasn't as popular or as busy as most parts of town. I had gone this way several times, but something felt off today. A strange, unreasonable feeling that someone was watching me, spread through my body.

I kept walking, but paid extra close attention to my surroundings.

There, a blur, someone IS following me.

I didn't turn yet, I was waiting to see, to get a better look.

I let my guard down, I was so busy worrying about the stalker I hadn't noticed the 5 guys walking down the large ally in my direction.

"Shit, they don't seem to have seen me yet," I thought, "maybe I can--" I was cut off by one yelling.

"Hey you, stop!"

I froze in my tracks not sure what to do. I turned and raised my head, looking at them.

"Well look, it's a babe" one says. They all laugh with him.

As I looked at them, I notice their weird choice of colors. They all wore all black out fits. Their accessories were primary colors to accent the outfit. They were all kind of big, and I was slightly worried.

They began to slowly advance toward me, each holding a rickety weapon, pipes, bats, wrenches, and other random objects.

"St... stay away from me... Or else," I threatened.

"Or else what?" One laughed.

They circled around me, and the one that I presumed was the leader stepped closer to me. He extended an arm towards me, his hand gripping to my chin. He pulls my face close to his. I can feel his breathe on my face as I stand like a statue.

"Damn, the boss would really like you," he says with a sadistic glare," Don't you think boys?"

He laughs and turns toward the four others with him, they all laugh in agreement.

"How would you like to be our pet?"he asks me with a cruel look,"Our gang could use a cute little moot like you."

"Go screw yourself," I growl at him.

"Oh, attitude? That's pretty hot." He teased.

I was irritated, pretty sure he knew it too. He kept getting closer and closer, suddenly he leaned in for a kiss. Quickly I turn my head.

Instead of continuing and kissing my cheek he moves his head back. "You little--, did I tell you you could turn your head? Now how about you give me a kiss?" He said. I could tell his voice was changing from a rude tease to a more sadistic angry one. It would be safer to do what he asked, but there was no way I would kiss someone like him. Out of spite I manage to spit directly into his face, hitting him just above the eye. First he was shocked, eyes wide mouth open.then his eyebrows dropped toward the center of his face, a fit of rage was coming out as he raised his hand high above me. I close my eyes and tried to curl up as much as I can to try and brace for the oncoming hit. My eyes were squeezed to shut to see what actually happened ?"next, especially since it happened so fasts. But from what I heard, I could basically describe the situation.

Just before the fist slammed down on me it sounded like somewhere jumped from up high down to the ground,the shoes created a quiet echo. A few men in the group said things like "what", "who's that?", what are you doing?!", and "stop!". Then the sound of a fist smacking onto skin was the only thing I could hear. At first I thought it was mine, but when I realized there was no pain anywhere on me I opened my eyes. There stood a guy, hardly taller than me with a toothpick sized body, holding the gang members fist with his bare hand. He was between us, and he wore a grin from ear to earn looking more sadistic than my attacker. The gang member took another swing with his left hand, and the guy grabbed it too. Not a single drop of sweat left his body, but the angry gang member seemed to be sweating from anger, frustration, and effort. Suddenly he twisted the gang members two hand back toward him, each making a cracking sound. The member let loose a scream and dropped to his knees in pain. With a swift kick the guy hit him straight in the stomach and jumped back toward me as the member committed up a days worth of food before passing out. When he was unconscious the guy tuned to me, with a slightly smaller smile. As he reached toward me I flinched, untrusting of him.

"Now now, is that anyway to treat your savior?" He said," I'm not here to attack you or harm you, I was merely observing you."

"Observing?" I say quietly," wait! You are the guy that was stalking me!!"

He shrugs his shoulders looking away with a smile. I can't help but glare untrustingly at him.
