A/N: Here's chapter two. I had a bit of fun with this one and the bit at the end wrote itself. I forgot to mention it in the first chapter but as you probably know I own nothing. Enjoy.
Three people walked down a sidewalk. At the head of the group a girl with teal ponytails reaching to her ankles. She carried a dirty backpack over one shoulder. Behind her fraternal twins followed. They both had the same blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Can we take a break now my feet hurt," Len whined.
"Just a few more blocks than we'll stop for the night," Miku replied.
"Where are we going?" Rin asked.
"I heard a new club just opened. I'm going to try to get a job there." Miku chimed, "If they're paying what I'm hoping for we might just be able to rent a room."
The twins' eyes sparkled at the thought of four walls and a roof. They would have been happy with just a roof. After walking another four blocks, the group set up camp in an alleyway. They moved a dumpster to hide behind and stacked cardboard to make an impromptu bed.
"Do we have anything to eat?" the twins asked Miku.
"Um..." she dug through her backpack, "we have half a bottle of soda and a couple of peanuts."
Miku handed each twin two peanuts.
"What about you?" Rin asked Miku.
"It's okay."
After their meager meal they turned in for the night. Rin and Len slept while Miku sat against a wall looking out for any would be thieves.
In the downtown area a blonde girl stood against a pole with one hand in her pocket and the other texting on a cellphone. Her side ponytail hung by her ankles bobbing with the girl's impatience.
"Neru," someone called.
She groaned as two children approached. A little girl named Yuki and a little boy named Ryuto ran up to the blonde.
"Want to play tag?" Yuki asked.
"No," Neru answered.
"Aww... Why?"
"I'm working."
"But you played with us last time."
"That was only because Haku talked me into it. Now scram kids."
"Meanie," the two kids ran off.
"What did you say? I know where you live," she yelled.
"Threatening kids. How the mighty have fallen," a silver haired man took a drag on his cigarette, "Do you really know where they live?"
"Give me five minutes and I will."
"Right. I heard a new club is opening. Do you know anything about it?"
"I do but it's going to cost you."
"Name you price."
Neru closed her phone and began tapping her chin, "An MP3 player."
"What, you're kidding."
"Than I guess you don't want to know what I know."
"Fine you can have this one." He handed the Neru a tube shaped device.
"How many gigabytes?"
"Sixteen, now tell me what you know."
"Dell I'm gonna tell it to you straight, I know next to nothing."
"Than why did you charge so much?" He nearly inhaled his cigarette.
"Because I know one of the owners of this yet to be named club is Kaito Shion."
Dell's cigarette fell out of his mouth.
"Crafty Kaito made it out of his cement shoes."
"So it seems. His partner is a former singer who's going by the name Meiko. Anything else you want to know?"
"How is my insufferable sister doing? Is she still getting wasted on a daily basis?"
"Even though she's getting drunk she's not that bad. What is she supposed to do? Singing was her life until those thugs nearly ripped out her vocal chords because you didn't want to share some profit."
"Hey, that was the deal." Dell tried to defend himself.
At this point Neru snapped. In seconds she had Dell on the floor with a black katana at his throat.
"Leave before I do something I'll regret."
Dell's instincts got the best of him, making him roll over and take off running.
A/N: I have a bit of experience when it comes to Miku, Rin and Len's predicament, albeit not to the same degree but the feeling is the same. Expect the next chapter soon.
