'What do I want most in this world'?

Mikado asked himself as he neared his destination. The train finally came to a halt; people neatly stepped off the train to their right as more piled on. The young teen followed the flow of the natives of Ikebukero, occasionally bumping into a stranger, his apologies falling upon deaf ears. Sighing, he rested his back against a support beam. 'What am I doing here? Can I become stronger? Who is the headless rider? Can I find connections?' The teen's eyes darkened in thought. His train of thought was interrupted when he noticed somebody staring at him. It was as if she was reading his mind, the intense stare made it look as if the girl looking into his very soul. Her appearance was hard to judge, she had reddish golden hair that matched her eye color and fair skin, which was unusual for a Japanese person. After several seconds, which felt like hours to Mikado, the girl smirked and disappeared from his sight as the next train obscured his view of her. Mikado looked all around in search of the girl, but it was as if she had vanished. Bewildered, he creased his eyebrows in deep thought. Did he really see someone, or was it just his imagination? If so, who was she and why did she smirk at him? His thoughts were once again interrupted by someone staring at him, but this time it was a familiar face. Before him stood a boy slightly taller than him with a devilish smirk on his face. He had died blond hair and wore a white hoodie and a pair of blue jeans. The teen looked to the died blond with a bemused expression.

"Hey! Masa…omi"? Mikado tilted his head to the side in doubt.

"What's with the uncertainty? Don't tell me you forgot this handsome face?! It is I, the charming and sexy Kida Masaomi of Ikebukero"! The other teen exclaimed while holding his arms out, as if displaying himself to the world.

"It is you! It's really you Kida-kun! You still have the same lame jokes too!"

"Hey! That wasn't a joke Mikado!" the other wined as he jabbed his friend in the ribs as punishment.

After a reunion that consisted of teasing, fighting, and joking, the two headed off to Sunshine, a popular place in Ikebukero. After walking a few minutes, Masaomi became silent and his cheerful appearance was replaced with a look of seriousness. They had passed a large crowd of people with panicked looks and police officers focused on analyzing the scene before them. Mikado was very curious about the chaotic sight before him. He walked closer to get a better view, but was pulled away by his best friend. Confused, the black-haired teen sent the other a questioning look. Kida was grave as he began to answer his friend's puzzled expression.

"Listen Mikado" He began.

"Ikebukero is a really fun and exciting place to be, but now it's at it most dangerous time".

"Is it the black rider"? The black-haired teen inquired.

"No, more dangerous and terrifying" Masaomi slightly shivered as he responded.

Mikado's eyes sparkled with interest and excitement as he waited for his friend to continue.

"Just don't get in to trouble, stay off the streets at night, and lock your door ok? Then you shouldn't have to worry about it".

The blond put careful emphasis on the word 'it', sounding a mixture of disgust and fear in his voice.

"What is 'it'? Why is it so dangerous?" The shorter teen, now eager with anticipation, almost demanded.

"Look Mikado, don't get any ideas, but there's a murderer out in Ikebukero. He targets people he judges as 'bad' and brutally murders them". He paused before finishing, taking in a shaky breath. "He then displays their body in Ikebukero, without their eyes."

Let me know what you think, I'll try to upload more at least every week if you want. （＾ｖ＾）
