Although Masaomi's intentions were good, his plan wasn't as pure. Or, well thought out for that matter. But, he was desperate.
Masaomi swore he sat in front of Mikado's door with a bobby pin shoved in the key hole for nearly and hour before the lock turned. When he was able to open the door, he leisurely walked into the dark apartment. Mikado wasn't anywhere down stairs, so the only place for him to be was the second floor.
Masaomi stopped at the door that was slightly ajar. He looked through the small opening to find his ex-best friend, sleeping peacefully.
Masaomi smile to himself as he crouched down beside Mikado and pulled out a pair of scissors. The blonde excitedly went to work, cutting the floppy bangs short first.
As he sniped the last piece shorter, Masaomi stood up to admire his work. He looked like Mikado again. Now all that was left was to get rid of the contacts.
Masaomi crept into the room across from Mikado's bedroom, which was the bathroom. Sure enough, the contacts were sitting on the counter.
Masaomi sighed as he put the box in his jacket pocket.
"Sorry it has to be this way Mikado, but this just isn't who you are." He had caused this, so he was going to fix it.
Izaya stretched out on the bed as light poured into the room. He ran a hand through his hair, then froze. Pinching his bangs in between his fingers, he slowly pulled back his hand. The hair fell out immediately. Izaya sat up abruptly and watched his hair fall into his lap. Be rushed to the bathroom across the hall to see the face of Mikado Ryugamine in the mirror. Izaya began laughing. He laughed harder when he realized his contacts were gone.
The group sat in the sushi restaurant, conversing quietly. It seemed strange to be back in Ikebukuro.
"Are you ok? You look tired." Erica asked. Masaomi yawned in conformation.
"Yeah, I was up hanging out with Mikado."
"Just what do you mean by 'hanging out with?" Kyohei inquired, " Mikado has changed a lot, and I know he wouldn't just sit and chat with a child hood friend. Saburo slowly nodded and eyed the blond.
"What do you mean?" Anri asked as the bell on the door rang. A familiar voice spoke.
"Is Masaomi here?" Masaomi smiled along with the others, Saburo and Kyohei shivered at the malice no one else noticed. Dennis nodded and pointed to the nook everyone was eating at. Saburo 'eeped' at the thin, icy blue eyes.
"You look much better with your old haircut." Masaomi said matter-of-factly. Mikado had a devious smile on his face, it made everyone unsettled.
"Might I ask what happened to my contacts?" Izaya asked, walking over to the rooms doorway. Masaomi laughed nervously as his ex-best friend waited for an answer.
"I saw him throw out the box before he came here." Kyohei said flatly.
"I see. Oh well. I was going to have to get new ones soon anyways." Mikado said, switching to Izaya's voice. The info broker reached out to grab the paper Kyohei waved at him.
"Whats this?"
"My job."
Izaya skimmed the paper, nodding slightly to himself. He absentmindedly waved a $100 dollar bill at Kyohei in a similar fashion. Kyohei gathered extra information for Izaya in Ikebukuro since he can't just walk around. A monster might come and get him.
"Thanks." they said in unison. Izaya shoved the paper in his pocket and turned to Masaomi. He smiled and shoved his shoe in Masaomi's face, and loud bang confirming that his head had hit the wall.
"I'll be off then, I have some errands to run." Izaya said, waving his hand. Saburo got up and followed him.
"Wait!" Anri called shakingly.
"As much as i'd like to stay, i'm afraid I don't have the time right now." Izaya responded as he pulled the hood of his jacket over his head. Everyone sat in silence as they evaluated this new Mikado. Dennis looked over at the group.
"I'd stay out of his business if I were you. He's a completely different person. If it weren't for Simon, I would have thought Mikado Ryugamine and Izaya Orihara were two completely different people. And you're an idiot for going in and cutting his hair last night, you should watch your back." Dennis shook his head.
"It's probably best if you forget about Mikado, no one else remembers he existed." Kyohiei added. A multitude of phones buzzed, it was a Dollars message.
The Yellow Scarves' boss is back, keep a look out everyone~ ; Administrator.
"Izaya took hold of the Dollars about a year after you left. What's funny is that they all listen to him, no matter where they live." Kyohei explained. Anri grimaced, not wanting to believe what she was hearing. Erica and Walker stayed silent.
"You found out a lot today, take some time to forget about Mikado, ok?" Kyohei more so ordered, and exited the restaurant.
