Rin had agreed to follow the annoying informant and deal with his antics if he led him to a clothing store. Though at this point he was debating on whether he would have rather searched for one on his own. "Do you have any sisters?" Izaya piped while he playfully skipped beside him.
"No, I only know of two brothers" Rin said gruffly, desperate to find some better fitting clothing.
"Two?" Izaya ceased skipping. "But you have two demonic brothers and one human, correct?" Izaya said proceeding to skip.
"No, the human one was a cover. He didn't even know. He was told he was related to me by the True Cross, in hopes that if I was raised with a human counterpart I might not be….." Rin struggled for a word during his aggravating flashback.
"Demonic?" Izaya finished, nearly glaring at Rin desperately trying to find emotion in his stone face.
Rin nodded. "How close are we to this place?" Rin said swiveling his head looking for a clothing store.
"Two more blocks." There was a sudden ringing tune, slightly familiar. Izaya whipped a phone out of his pocket. "Hello?" Izaya nodded and hummed answers to the other speaker, and then hung up. "Ah it appears I have to bid you adieu. Please enjoy yourself in this large and lovely town." Rin glared at Izaya "What?"
"Work calls," Izaya quickly said inching away, afraid of an outburst. "You will learn the city much faster if you explore yourself" Izaya said hoping away.
"HEY!" Rin thundered, Izaya flinched hoping that the demon King wouldn't drag him away anyway. Rin closed the distance Izaya instinctively balled up and guarded his face. "My cash" Rin said with a hand out "and card" Izaya relaxed and calmly yet dazed passed him the cash and card in his pocket. Rin toke the money and card without a word and continued to walk down the street. Izaya was left on the street in his awkward ball in confusion, leaving him in his jumbled thoughts.
He was surprised that there wasn't a burst of fire or the world spitting in half. His face saddened as a new thought came to his head. 'He wanted to get rid of me!' Izaya made his way through the busy streets to find the dullahan, with gloom following.
"Where, Where, Where?!" Rin growled tromping up and down the street. Where the hell was that store? Izaya said two blocks down. He was two blocks down and all there was, was a skyscraper. He paced a few more times when his eyes found a coal tar floating along intent on following Rin from a distance. He had noticed that the coal tars followed in great numbers but nearly refused to swarm unless he beckoned them to send a message or pass on information. He moved his finger and a couple dozen began to swarm zipping around him like crazed bullets. He quietly whispered to the small things "Clothing store"
Five of them shot from him and squished themselves to the skyscraper next to him. He glared at the skyscraper and found that there was a small sign on the side of it addressing that it was a suit store. Rin looked at the coal tars bashfully as they dizzyingly hovered back. Rin wondered inside nearly blinded by the brightness of the store. Mannequins in expensive suits stood everywhere. His eyes wondered the store aimlessly lost in the dazzling suits and expensive fabrics.
Rin was then pulled from his dazed wondering when a throat clearing was heard. "We have no need for your kind here sir, if you could leave." A large man with a manager's badge said. He gave a hard glare to the man which he found difficult with his hood pulled back over his head and pulled his wad of cash from him pocket. The man first jumped in horror and then he planted his eyes on the large stack of green.
"M-my greatest apologies! I did not think you were a paying customer!" Rin grunted and removed his hood, making the man even more flustered. Rin's looked over the store and caught the eyes of many female clerks who were blushing and stunned. Rin huffed towards the man, "I'm not great with picking out good clothing maybe your clerks will be of better assistance." Rin said staring the man down making sure to keep him in a bowing position, struggling on not setting the man on fire. "O-of course sir!" To Rin's annoyance the pudgy man shot upwards and clapped his hands.
"Alright girls this man would like you to fit him with a proper suit"
"Outfit" Rin corrected "I what full attire, all matching" He said quickly wooing the girls. All of the girls glared at one another as they raced around the store determined to find him a suit that he would like. Rin smiled as his looks was what sparked the sudden competition. "Um, sir" the pudgy man sounded beside him. He glared at him as he had ruined his newfound fun. "The girls would be able to fit you in a better suit if you removed your sweatshirt and shoes." Rin smiled not because he was being kind but because it would be amusing to have the girls try and dress him when he was wearing a small shirt and pants. The pudgy man quickly ran away in fear or in shear embarrassment. One of the girls ran then walked the last few paces forward fixing her hair.
"Uh- um," The clerk struggled to find words as her legs shook. "We are waiting in the fitting area for you-um" She said blushing redder than a tomato. "Call me Rin" He said leaning forward to speak into her ear. She nearly fell, but held herself upright and lead/wobbled him to the fitting area. There a multitude of anxious woman waiting with multiple suits shoes ties and socks surrounding them. Rin smiled kindly at all of them and began to remove his sweatshirt. He swore he could hear their hearts threating to come out of their chests.
He quickly removed the school coat and tie. Hoping they wouldn't notice that he was in high school. 'Used to be in high school' his brain reminded him. He tossed the bundle clothing in a heap on a chair nearby. He gave another kind smile as he asked. "What should I try on first?" They all shot up and began to warble nonsense about going first and taking measurements. Rin had to hold back laughter about how fun it was teasing them.
But after excessive amounts of flirting and measurement and changing clothes he settled with a dark navy suit a lighter color tie to match his hair and expensive black shoes. Woman where falling over him in a ratty sweatshirt and small pants. He couldn't imagine what women would do when they looked at him in an expensive suit. He smiled mischievously and bid his adieus and made his way to the pudgy manager to check out. The man wouldn't even look at him and gave him 30% off. Rin said his slightly creeped out thanks and made his way out to the street. He was immediately greeted with woman falling over and men intensely glaring.
