I don't own Gorillaz just Haden
HPOV
I stood in the empty white room and watched 2D get some sheets for me to put on the large bed. I learned on the wall and sighed it was warm in here despite the air that was running through the entire building. I didn't mind it all that much tho. I actually preferred it to the cold, I wasn't much of a cold person.
"Uh, jus' holler if ye need anyfink' Noodle is right acros' the hall and I'm just down thos stairs and past the car-park." He said. I nodded and smiled.
"Thanks." I said and took the sheets and blankets he handed me.
"Pillows are in that cupboard and uh toilets are jus' down the hall to the left not the right. Take the right you end up on your way to Russel's room." 2D said. I nodded and watched him walk out of the room. When he was gone I put the sheets on the bed grabbed the heavy comforter and fell into a deep sleep. I hadn't slept right in a very long time if ever.
WEEEEEEEEE LINE
When I woke I was greeted to the face of a japanese girl with violet hair.
"You must be Noodle." I said as I sat up my bed was made and I was on a pillow. She smiled and waved.
"You speak english?" I asked slightly doubtful.
"Yes."She said and I nodded rubbing my sleepy eyes.
"Who made my bed?" I asked as I looked at the soft pillows and the silk sheets. She smiled and pointed to herself.
"Russ helped me but he only picked you up. Murdoc has asked me to go shopping with you and I said yes." She said as she held up a credit card.
"He said to go wild it wouldn't affect us any." She said smiling I nodded and ran a hand through my hair to tame it a bit. I had my moms brown hair but I had dyed it a few weeks ago to a vibrant blue. It was more cheerful and I liked it that way.
Noodle walked out and I looked at myself in the mirror that was on the back of the double closet doors, I was tiny for my age and height. Normally girls my height would be a healthy 120 to 128 but I was a feathery light 102. Living on my own for seven years had been the main cause of that. The second factor was that I normally forgot to eat, still did too. I would go without eating until my body screamed for nourishment. I normally forgot because if I wasn't walking where the road would take me, I was running from nosy DSS agents. I gave a sigh and fixed my ruffled clothes and swore at my stupidity. I had thrown my entire bag into the river and it had floated upstream.
"Dumbass."I muttered to myself and walked out of the room. And straight into 2D.
"Sorry."I said quickly looking up into his black orbs.
"Your alri' luv. I was the one in the way."He said smiling down at me. "Goin' out with Noods?" He asked smirking I nodded and smiled a little.
"Wanna come along?" I asked I had nothing against the other band members just Murdoc. He smiled wider and nodded.
"I need to ge' outta the house for a bi' "He said I nodded and and walked to follow noodle 2D following behind me quietly.
"You know how to drive right?" I asked glancing back at him curiously.
"Enough."He said with a shrug. I nodded and kept walking remembering his directions to his room included the car park. Noodle met us there with a grin. I smiled and she pulled me to a jeep.
"This is the geep." 2D announced proudly gesturing to it. I nodded and watched him get into the drivers side. Noodle got into the passenger side and I hopped into the back holding onto the bar at the top. Noodle smiled back at me as 2D started up the 'geep'.
"So where do you originally come from, you don't have the right accent to be from here?" Noodle asked curiously. I glanced at the walls of the car park to think.
"New York, don't remember the city though." I said lowering my eyebrows and wrinkling my nose in thought. I quickly shook my head thinking I looked stupid with that face, that's what mom had always told me when I was little.
"how about you? You don't have the right accent either." I asked her smirking. She grinned and began to throw out a line in japanese.
"Osaka Japan." She said proudly. I rose an eyebrow and nodded.
"How old were you?" I asked honestly curious.
"Ten, I came in a fed ex crate." She said calmly as if thats was how everyone got around. I felt my mouth dropping open and quickly shut it.
"Okay you came in a fed ex crate, and I thought coach flying was uncomfortable." I muttered to my self but smiled.
"Anyway, why did you come here I know it wasn't just to punch Murdoc-san in the face." Noodle said looking serious.
"Thought I'd come down and see the sights." I said, not looking her in the eyes.
"Where is your mother, I know for a fact that if you had a parent with you, then you wouldn't have ended up here." Noodle said looking concerned.
"Long story." I said avoiding her gaze. Noodle saw my discomfort and nodded.
"So do you have any musical talents?" Noodle asked, to which I quickly shook my head. Mom had discouraged any music or any talent in the house when I was still living with her, therefore I didn't think I did have any talents.
"I don't think Murdoc-san will let you stay without doing any thing worth while." She said in thought.
"Good, the sooner I go the better." I muttered too low for her to hear. 2D glanced up from the road after avoiding hitting another squirrel.
"Almos' 'ere." He said pointing to a mall a little bit ahead of us.
"That was fast." I said slightly surprised.
"Kong is close to everything somehow." Noodle said as 2D pulled into the lot.
"Wee let's go." Noodle said smiling. I nodded and let her pull me along.
"Ye need a bit o' a 'air cut." 2D muttered. I nodded seeing as my hair was down to almost my knees. Noodle smiled and grabbed my arm to pull me along.
"I know just the person." She said grinning and tugging me towards a salon.
"Noodle it's good to see you again." A man behind the main counter said.
"Who will I be setting up an appointment for?" He asked smiling at her, 2D, and finally me.
"My friend Haden here, and myself." He nodded and wrote some things in.
"Haden are you 2D's sister? Your hair bears a very strong resemblance to his." He asked. I shook my head and smiled.
"today is the first day I have met him." I said calmly glancing at him.
"May I ask your last name?" He asked as he wrote down my name.
"I guess its Niccals." I said after a moment of contemplation.
"So you are his sister?" he asked glancing up at me from his writing.
"Daughter." I corrected. He dropped the pen in shock and stared at me for a few seconds.
"Oh my god. It is true. He does have a daughter." He said in shock.
"Yeah." I said and glanced at Noodle. She smiled and glanced at him.
"How soon can you get us in? "She asked.
"Right away."He said and grabbed both of our hands to lead us to a back room where really rich snobby looking people sat getting their hair cut dyes and styled.
"Right sit and get comfy." He said and noodle pulled him aside to whisper in his ear. He nodded a few times and grinned at her.
"Gladly." He said and gestured to a red head and to noodle. And very soon noodle had a blindfold and was placing it over my eyes.
"What the hell noodle?" I said alarmed but she just patted my head.
"Don't worry it's a new comers thing. Sort of a surprise at the beginning." She said calmly. I felt my chair rise and spin. About three hours later the blindfold was removed and I gasped.
"Holy.." I trailed off as I stared at the new me in the mirror. I didn't even recognize myself. Noodle stood with her hair cut grinning.
My hair was now shoulder length in the back and it got shorter as it reached my face the shortest part was my bangs, which stopped just above my eyebrows. The base color was black while the front had dark rainbow streaks and my hair was wavy.
"I forgot it did that." I mused with a slight laugh. I had my mom's hair that when short, either formed thousands of little ringlets or had gentle waves. The weight of my hair had stopped it from waving or curling in any way.
"Nice." Noodle said with a grin touching my hair gently. I nodded and stood up. The stylist handed me a bottle of shampoo and conditioner.
"Helps your hair hold color, come back in in six months to have the colors added back in before they fade." He said. I nodded and glanced at Noodle.
"Well lets go, daylight is fading." She said grinning. I nodded and followed her out.
"Put it on the G tab." Noodle said looking over her shoulder.
"Yes ma'am." The man at the counter said and began to type away on his computer.
2D glanced up from a music magazine. He went to say something to Noodle but stopped when he saw me. For some reason I wanted his opinion to be good and when he got a blank stare at my hair i turned beet red out of embarrassment and disappointment. He looked as if he didn't like it and that saddened me.
"What do you think?" Noodle asked as the twirled me.
"You look great." He finally said with a grin. I smiled and walked over to him to look at the mag over his shoulder.
"That the newest issue?" I questioned curiously.
"Yea' get 'em when ever I 'an." He said grinning I nodded and leaned on the bench he was on, ignoring the cat call I was getting. Noodle walked over and looked at it as well.
"Mudz gettin' punched already made the cover page 'ere is a whole story on the mysterious blue 'eaded girl." 2D said as he flipped to the page quickly.I read over his shoulder laughing slightly at the crock that they came up with. One was that I was an ex-lover.
"Right I was ten when we had an affair." I joked dryly. Noodle smirked and kept reading.
"You think they would have gotten it right when you yelled at him for leaving your mother at the altar." Noodle muttered and 2D nodded enthusiastically with her.
"Or at least made a slightly more accurate guess other than angry fangirl." I muttered shaking my head.
"load o' crock 'f ye ask 'e." 2D said closing the paige to reveal two photos that took up the cover one of me punching Murdoc that looked as if it were taken on a camera phone and one of Murdoc holding his bloody nose and watching me retreat from the mall. I smirked and grabbed the mag.
"I think I will keep that picture." I muttered and put the mag in my bag that held my shampoo and conditioner. Noodle smirked and stood straight.
"Well lets get this shopping trip underway." She called pounding the air with her fist.
"You are in a good mood today aren't you?" I asked. She grinned and nodded then pulled me and 2D towards a random shop.
6 Hours Later
I sat in the back of the Geep staring at the starry sky groaning at my pounding feet. I had gotten a years worth of clothes on Noodle and 2D's suggestion. and right about now I was using most of them as a pillow.
"You will need more in about a month, knowing Murdoc-san he will insist to keeping you well clothed." Noodle said staring out the windshield. I nodded but didn't throw in my thoughts on that one. after a few minutes we stopped and began to pull the bags out. I glanced up as I felt the presence of someone behind me. I screamed and jumped back in shock. Behind me stood one of the largest men I have ever seen, he had milky white eyes and a random dead skunk in hand.
"Russel-san." Noodle scolded taking my arm to help me out of the Geep.
"Don' mind 'im. 'E was proab'ibly jus' gettin' somefink for his taxidermy hobby." 2D said smirking as he examined the skunk.
"Meet Russel Hobbs, the drummer to the sensational band Gorillaz." Noodle said smiling. I nodded and shook his extended hand.
"Didn't mean to scare you, just thought I would come out and help you with the bags." He said in a very american accent. I nodded and turned to get some bags for myself.
"So what brings you to england?" He asked. I smirked and shook my head.
"Punching Murdoc in the face." I said. "And to see England." I added smiling a little. He nodded and we turned to go inside struggling with all of the bags.
"Wel lyou completed one goal, how you liking the other so far?" He asked. I smirked and nodded.
"Its ery pretty here." I said as I glanced up at the knight sky, it was a clear night. Russel nodded and opened the door for us with the hand holding a skunk. We stepped in and walked for the lift. 2D handed me my bags and bid us good night and left for his room taking he stairs. I struggled a little but managed and stood in the lift with Noodle and Russel.
"Anyway if there is anything that you need just let me know and I can help." Russel said and glanced up when the lift landed on our floor. I carried my bags in silence with the other two triailing behind. I kicked my door open and dumped my bags on the floor.
"I will bring up some hangers in a bit." Noodle said I nodded and turned around to see that the room was well furnished.
"What happened?" I questioned as they put the bags on the floor.
"We put furniture in for you to get you more comfortable." Russel said.
"We being Rin and you?" Noodle asked. I raised an eyebrow curiously. I had yet to meet Rin officially. Russel sighed and nodded.
"Mudz was up for letting her sleep on hay." Russel said quietly. I smirked and shook my head.
"Well thank you." I said smiling.
"Just give me a ring if you need anything. My room is just down that hallway, you know you've found it when you see a horse." He said calmly. I nodded slightly confused but went with it.
"Well good night." He said and walked out. Noodle nodded her farewell to me and left me to the my room and my clothes.
"Right." I muttered and began to pack the clothing into the three dressers that were in there. I realized that what little time I would be spending here would be difficult to leave.
"Well damn." I muttered and went back to my new clothes and other personal items that I had bought.
