The train came to a sudden halt. The doors slid open, squeaking, and a one Mikado Ryugamine stepped out. He took in the sight of the Ikebukero train station. He'd never seen this many people before, coming from a small town in the country. As he got off the train, a man stood by the doors.
"Welcome to Ikebukuro!" The man said, sticking out his hand for Mikado to shake. Mikado complied, smiling. Immediately he felt a sharp pain in his head, and turned around to get another look at the man. The man was gone. Mikado furrowed his brow and kept walking.
"Must be the city air..." He muttered.
"Mikado!" He heard a familiar voice. Mikado almost didn't recognize him; it'd been so long, but the boy's plump face and bright eyes gave him away.
"Masaomi?" Mikado shouted in excitement, his headache seemed to fade away when he saw his childhood friend.
"In the flesh!" Masaomi grinned, taking Mikado into a headlock. "How you been, bro? I haven't seen you in ages!" Mikado laughed. They carried on their conversation normally. The only way they could carry on a conversation, as they were just normal teenage boys. And a normal conversation is all they need, right?
They strolled through the crowded city, Masaomi introducing Mikado to all the cool places and people. After probably hours of adventure, they finally took a rest at a nearby diner. As they caught up with each other, the news report in the corner caught Mikado's attention.
"Masaomi, what's that report about? I can't read the subtitles from here." He asked. Masaomi glanced at the screen for no more than a second.
"Oh, you haven't heard it yet? It's been all over lately," Masaomi shrugged, sipping his milkshake, "Something about an announcer having an affair. I don't know why it's such a big deal, really. I guess it's because the guy she's having an affair with is some famous lady's husband. It's not like it's Yuuhei Hanejima having an affair with Ruri Hijiribe or something."
"Oh," Mikado's mouth went to one side and his brow furrowed, "Yeah, I guess it is strange."
He didn't give it a second thought.
"Bye, Masaomi! See you tomorrow!" Mikado waved enthusiastically as Masaomi turned his back and headed home. Mikado fumbled around for his keys, jamming them into the lock of his new apartment. It was run down and ragged, but the only one he could afford. And to be completely honest, he didn't feel entirely safe there- thus the cause for his hurry. After a few seconds of jiggling the key, he managed to unlock it, and the door creaked open. His new room smelled of moist wood, yet there was a lingering scent of sawdust and candles- presumably from the previous owner. Mikado took out a temporary sleeping mat and flopped down on it, too tired to unpack.
Mikado took out his laptop and established an internet connection. He immediately opened up his usual chatroom with Kanra and Setton.
-Taro Tanaka signed in-
Taro Tanaka: Hey Guys.
Kanra: Heyyyy Tanaka-san!
Setton: Hey.
Taro Tanaka: I just got home! Man, I'm so excited now that I'm finally here in Ikebukero!
Setton: That's great!
Kanra: Who knows? Maybe we'll all end up meeting eachother in the streets of Ikebukero someday! ヽ(=^･ω･^=)丿
Setton: Haha, maybe.
Taro Tanaka: That'd actually be pretty cool.
The chatroom was silent for a couple minutes, so Mikado scrolled through forums about Ikebukero, until the familiar ping of the chatroom notice came on.
Kanra: Have you guys heard that story about that reporter lady? It's all over the media these days...
Setton: Yeah, I think I saw something about it the other day.
Taro Tanaka: Yeah, I actually just heard about it for the first time today. I guess I've just been so busy with packing and all I haven't had the chance to check out the news...
Kanra: I can't believe it was the guy's wife that released it to the press. But then again, maybe she wanted revenge. I can just see the divorce papers piling up now!
Setton: Huh. Yeah, it was probably for revenge, I can't see her just sitting quiet about it.
Kanra: The announcer was fired, too. You'd think they'd keep her.
Taro Tanaka: Why's that?
Kanra: Higher ratings, of course. Everyone would tune into their show to see if the Yamano lady would let it get to her. duh.
Taro Tanaka: Oh.
Setton: I guess that does make sense. To be honest, I'd probably do that...
Kanra: Yeah. Ugh, looks like I gotta go, guys! Laterrr ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
Taro Tanaka: Oh, okay. I should probably get going, it's getting pretty late...
Setton: Yeah, I'll probably sign off, too.
-Kanra signed off-
-Taro Tanaka signed off-
-Setton Signed off-
Mikado closed his laptop and plugged it in. He rolled over, and he fell unconscious within seconds.
