Why does he hate me?
"NOOOOOOOOOOODLE!!!!!!" Murdoc's enraged voice echoed around the whole of Kong Studios. 2D and Russell were sat in the living room and startled from the loud voice, so much startled that 2D even threw his beer bottle in the air, causing it to land on Russell.
"Thanks D" he sarcastically said removing the half filled bottle off of him and handed it back to a very guilty looking 2D.
"Sorry Russell"
"'s fine, but wot da hell is he shouting about now?" Russell asked preparing himself for a Murdoc stampede.
"Sounded like 'e said Noodle"
Just saying that, a panicked 11 year old Noodle came sprinting in the living room and darted behind the sofa.
"Wots up Noods?" 2D asked as both men turned back to face her. She poked her head up and ssh'd them both.
"Noodle wasn't here 2D-san" She quickly said ducking behind the sofa again.
"If she wosn't 'ere then…who wos I talking to???" 2D began thinking very hard, as he got very confused.
"Wot did ya do now Noodle?" Russell sighed hearing stomping feet come closer to the living room.
"Noodle did nothing Russell-san, Noodle did nothing!" She panicked also hearing the footsteps.
Suddenly Coco came rushing in with her fur all scruffy, and also in a blind panic. She ran in and clinged onto 2D's head. Who got startled again from being in a thinking daze.
"AAAAH!!" he screamed running around the living room.
Murdoc came storming in. "WHERE IS SHE!?!"
"Well I thought it might be obvious where she is" Russell commented pointing at Coco who was clinged to a running around the room 2D.
"NOT 'ER!" Murdoc shouted stopping 2D from running, got Coco off and pushed him on sofa, while dropping Coco on Russell's lap. "NOODLE!"
"Would ya stop shouting Muds? Why d'ya want Noodle?"
"Cos!! She though' it would be funny! To redecorate my Winnebago WITH FUCKING POKEMON PICTURES!!"
A small giggle was heard from behind the sofa, Murdoc growled and looked behind and went to grab Noodle, but she screamed and ran out the other side of the sofa and hid behind the TV.
"TAKE 'EM DOWN NOW NOODLE!!"
"But…they pretty Murdoc-san" Noodle replied quietly peeking from behind the TV.
"NO THEY BLOODY AREN'T! TAKE 'EM DOWN!"
Noodle sighed sadly and walked out of the room. Murdoc glaring at her as she did so.
"Man Murdoc, ya don't hafta be such a grouch, she is only 11 remember" Russell commented which Murdoc took no notice of.
"Little brat… She's gotta know where 'er place is!" Murdoc snapped taking a seat next to 2D.
Russell only sighed and picked up Coco and walked out of the living room.
He walked all the way down to Murdoc's Winnebago where Noodle had just finished taking out all the pictures.
"Konichiwa Russell-san" Noodle said quietly walking to the lift with her drawings.
"Don't worry Noodle, Muds is just being a sour puss" Russell said to her, patting her helmet when he reached the lift next to her. Coco gave him a small glare at that saying, not appreciating it very much.
Noodle just sighed, she was starting to feel like she was just a nuisance to Murdoc. A guitarist and nothing more. Russell followed her all the way to her bedroom and watched her throw her drawings on the floor. She then took a seat on the ground placing her elbows on her knees and balancing her chin on her palms.
"Murdoc-san hates Noodle" she mumbled in a sad tone, which surprised Russell for a moment. He knew Murdoc was mean, but he had no idea that Noodle thought of Murdoc hating her.
"Don't say that baby girl" he replied taking a seat next to her. "Who could hate you?" he smiled down at her, she gave a small smile then resumed frowning.
"Then why he always shout at Noodle?"
"S'not just you, he shouts at everyone. that's just Muds" Russell explained trying to make her feel better. "I mean, ya really should consider yo'self lucky Noodle, think about D. he gets a beating by just looking at Murdoc" he chuckled which caused Noodle to sigh.
"Why Murdoc-san so angry all the time?" She asked watching Coco play with her little toy in a daze like state.
"That's a question that no one could ever answer I'm afraid baby girl" Russell replied patting her helmet before getting up and walking out. "I'm off to the shops, I'll bring ya back something nice okay?"
"Arigato"
Noodle sat for a couple of moments, then felt like she wanted some air. So she got up quick and ran out after Russell.
"Russell-san! Wait!"
Coco ran out after her too, and they both ran all the way to the front door, where Russell was just putting on his coat.
"What's up?"
"Noodle come too?"
"Sure, D is coming too okay"
"Hai"
"So am I! There iz a bird down the shops tha' could keep me company for tonight's little outing heh" Murdoc added, which put Noodle a bit more down, she was trying to keep her mind off Murdoc and his attitude towards her.
"We still goin' ou' tonigh' den?" 2D asked putting his jacket on.
"Obviously D, its Friday night, aka party night heh, heh"
"Noodle be alone tonight?" Noodle asked pouting a little. Murdoc bend down eye level to her and pinched her cheek.
"Gotta grow up some day girlie!" he chuckled at her, letting go of her cheek. Noodle pouted and rubbed away the small pain he left.
"No worries girl, ya can come with us. There is a restaurant area just outside da bar where we can sit" Russell said to her, which put a smile on her face.
They then all hopped into the Geep and drove off to the shops.
Once there, Noodle and Coco ran inside straight to the sweets section. Russell grabbed a trolley, thinking might as well do a big shopping trip while they were there. Murdoc went straight to the counter to chat up the women who worked behind the till, and 2D went to the DVD's.
Noodle and Coco picked a handful of sweets each and ran to find Russell. Unfortunately Noodle walked past the counter Murdoc was at, and he noticed all the sweets she had.
"OI! Where teh 'ell do yeh think yeh goin' with all tha' girlie!??"
"Um…Russell-san?"
"We aint wasting money on bloody sweets! Put them back!"
Noodle gave a disappointed sigh and walked back and put the sweets back.
"Murdoc-san does hate Noodle" she mumbled to herself. She was very upset about it. She didn't know why, but all of this seemed to be bothering her lately. She has been with the Gorillaz for nearly a year now and Murdoc hadn't changed since then, but she seemed to be noticing it more now. Why?
