'I'm the son of rage and love
The Jesus of Suburbia
From the bible of none of the above
On a steady diet of
Soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my sins in hell
As far as I can tell
At least the ones I got away with'

'And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe
That don't believe in me'

Tori hummed down the street of the busy shopping centre, listening to green day through her headphones, swinging her shopping carrier bag, without a care in the world. Kino had sent her to get a few things that the compound seemed to be lacking in; tori didn't know why she had to since this was usually tammys job but it meant getting out of the prison...sorry compound. It was nice to get out into the modern world she loved unlike the compund that seemed to be stuck in feudal Japan; she had never been much of a traditionalist unlike most of her family except the youngest generation.

She could tell she was being followed, she didnt have to even look over her shoulder or try some ridicules route of running round like a chicken to see if someone was; it was just an instinct to her to tell if she was being followed. Not just that but she could proberly tell how many there was (1), how far away from her they were (about 10 metres behind) and how to deal with them.

"Why are you following me" toshiro practically jumped out of his skin, she had just been looking through the window of this store and then out of no where she was behind him. He turned to face her and folded his arms infront of himself as he regained his 'cool'.
"Lady kino asked me to go follow you to make sure you didn't get into trouble" he replied calmly
"So if I call her and ask she will say yes" tori produced her phone from her jeans pocket
...she had called his bluff?
"You can if you really think its necessary"
"Ok" she shrugged, starting to dial the number
He huffed "fine, I didn't tell her"
Tori smiled snapping the phone shut "needed to get out of there?"
He just nodded
"Alrighty, but your gonna have to help" she pushed the bags into his chest "by the way kino doesn't like technology so she doesn't have a phone in the first place" yes the white haired prodigy had been out smarted.

The 2 walked side by side down the pavement, in a akward silence, not even being able to look at each other, neither of them knowing that the other was thinking of them. They passed a open alley way; tori immediately stopped where she was and looked down the alley.
"Whats the matter?" Toshiro asked irritably
"Just a second" tori replied boredly
"TENSHIIIIIII!" A howl came from the alley as a hyperactive guy camping running out of the alley (reminding toshiro a lot of one of kurosaki's friends who he just couldn't remember a name for); he was met with a swift kicking by tori back into the alley, tori not even blinking about it as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
"What is it franky?" She asked rubbing the back of her neck
The dubbed guy called franky managed to find a way to his feet after being kicked into a dumpster "where have you been?!" He moaned
"I've been busy"
Franky chuckled eyeing toshiro "yeah very busy, what is he your boyfriend or something"
Toshiro looked away from the guy
"Get your mind out of the gutter franky and no he isn't, he's a friend ok" tori snapped back at him
"Yeah yeah don't bother, at least I asked" franky walked over to the 2 "people have just bin asking where the tenshi of Izumo"
Toshiro raised a eyebrow
"You know I never asked to be called that" tori sighed as if she had this discussion a million times before "I'm no angel"
"You can say that again, I never knew a angel from the bible that threw people into dumpsters" franky chuckled
"I never took you as a religious person" tori smirked at him
"I ain't but ya know, me old lady wanted me to go last Sunday for a burial of her old friend"
'Add konso to list of things to do' toshiro thought to himself
"Any way are ya going to the festival?" Franky asked "it wouldn't be the same without ya you know"
"I don't know" tori shrugged
"Come on ya can bring ya friend as well" he looked up and down at toshiro "what do ya wanna call him if he's coming with ya, the Jesus of suburbia?" Franky smirked to himself "won't say that ya'll be able to keep him in that crowd, lota girls come as well n they like new guys a lot"
Toshiro felt the blood drain from his head
"Forget it franky" tori snapped "we're going shiro" she grabbed toshiro wrist (still stunned) and lead him back down the street towards the compound
"See ya then tenshi n Jesus" franky shouted at the two 'man wish I was him, lucky guy' franky thought to himself


"So who was that?" Toshiro asked
"Franky McCollum, he's half American and half Irish, raised since he was 3 in Japan by his grandmother and all around ass" tori sighed
"Why was he calling you tenshi?"
"Cause I have the habit of rescuing people just when they need it"
Toshiro thought back to when he had seen her from out of no where, thinking she was heaven sent "you never told me how you found me"
"I was out walking, I saw the birds fleeing a part of the Forrest so I went to see what was going on and found you"
"Oh"
"Don't worry I won't tell kino about you sneaking out, I don't think I could stand her healing me after this long either" she smiled at him

There was something about her smile which caused his heart to just melt, her smile was more precious than any jewel, it filled him with this warmth he just couldn't explain which was really weird.

"Thank you" he couldn't help but smile back at her
