I span round, chair creaking underneath me.
"I've been expecting you" I muttered as I turned. My eyes connected with teen in front of me. A malicious glare met me and I grinned a sadistic smile. Kida-kun scowled at me, sighing. I drummed my fingers on the table, whilst my head rested lightly on one hand. I removed my hand from under my chin and picked up a knight. I rolled the piece in my hand before deciding on where I should place it. "You came." I exclaimed softly. As I looked up Kida must have noted the surprise in my eyes, as his scowl softened slightly.
"It'd have been rude if I hadn't shown. Plus you asked of a favor, I wanted to know what you needed. Simply curiosity." Kida explained in such a 'matter of a fact' way. His scowl returned when I smirked at his facial expression.
"Well you see, Kida-kun, I have to go on business trip, and I need and accomplice. And it certainly seemed that only you could be the perfect companion." Kida's eyes widened in shock, I took pleasure in seeing him stuck for words, blundering around. His gazed fixed on the floor, clearly deep in thought "What do you think?" Kida's gazed wandered up. Meeting mine. Kida smiled.
"It sounds like a plan."
"Why why why!" Kida exclaimed. Slamming his front door behind him in a flurry or frustration. Dropping his key's the top of cabinet. He lent against the wall opposite and slid down it. He sat for a while with his head between his knee's. The word 'why' repeating itself in his head. He tilted his head back, touching it to the wall. Staring at the ceiling he sighed. The shadow in the corner reminded him of Izaya. No one thought nothing of it. Until it surprised you and attacked. Okay well it wasn't a great comparison. Shadows can't attack you, but they hide things that do. Kida smacked his head against the wall in frustration. He slumped in defeat. Lost in his thoughts and worries about what lay ahead, he jerked back to reality when his phone vibrated. Frustrated and confused by the emotional torment Izaya was putting him through, he startled Mikado by yelling a blunt 'What?' down the phone.
"Oh... Umm... Sorry... I was just kind of wondering why you weren't at school after lunch. You k-kind of disappeared..." Mikado fumbled and stuttered whilst speaking. Kida sighed. It was mixture of feeling guilty about yelling, and he just wasn't in the mood for Mikado's annoyingly pointless blabbering.
Fumbling for an excuse. Kida said the first thing that came to mind. "I got bored, I decided to skip." He said all too quickly. For a few painfully long seconds, Kida thought that Mikado wouldn't buy his lie. But it seems his worrying was uncalled for.
"Oh okay. Do you want to borrow my notes to catch up on what you missed?" Mikado said, almost bird-like. Kida sighed with relief.
"No that's okay. I'm going to take a while off." Kida also needed a reason for why he was disappearing. No-one could know he was going somewhere with Izaya. "I need to deal with some things." Kida hoped that would suffice.
"Okay. I have to go now." Mikado hung up without a goodbye. Thought he felt kind of hurt. Kida was relived Mikado had left. Kida who now lent against his window frame, stared at the lights of the city. When his phone vibrated again. He swore, seeing Izaya's name he discarded the call, throwing the phone to the floor. Izaya could wait. Kida started towards his bedroom, just as his doorbell rang. Stumbling towards the door, when he opened it, it was none other then Izaya Orihara.
I strolled in as though it was my own home, exclaiming, "What a cute little bedroom you have~!" as I examined Kida's private quarters. I turned to evaluate Kida's expression. Grinning when I noted that he had a slightly disturbed look on his face.
"What are you doing here?" He demanded. Kida was so cute when he was angry...
"I dropped by to tell you we leave tomorrow. Departing time was something I forgot to mention." I explained, examining the contents of Kida's fridge.
"Is it too late to pull out?" Kida demanded. His annoyance had returned from previously today.
"Yes it definitely is." My short, blunt reply surprised Kida. "Oh and that reminds me, we leave so early tomorrow," I stopped, just for the reason of creating painfully uncalled for suspense, "You're staying at mine tonight." I smiled with glee. Kida had the opposite reaction. He walked over to the nearest wall and smacked his head against it. I slowly sauntered over to him and grabbed him round the waist. I threw him over my shoulder in a fire-man lift, and strode over to the door.
"Yay... a sleepover." Kida exclaimed, his comment dripping with sarcasm. I chuckled and threw open the door.
