"Come on Shizuo, you can do better than that!" Kanra called, jumping over the last vending machine he had thrown at her. "Shizuka has better aim than that!"
"Shut up!" Shizuo yelled.
He was super slow in everything he threw at her, having to think about how he normally fought with his rival. It had taken a while to convince him to help, but even then he was still hesitant at causing needless destruction. He really did hate violence, Kanra noticed, he just seemed to forget that whenever it concerned the flea he always chased.
Kanra thought about how Shinra had told her to irritate him to get him to actually fight her. "You're brother's popular, right?" she asked hesitantly, moving a foot to her right to look like she was dodging his badly aimed signpost. "Do think he'd date me if I asked him out? Well, maybe not. If he looks anything like you he's probably pretty ugly. Probably a bad actor too, so is he actually good?"
Shizuo looked slightly ticked, but not any more than that. He smirked, obviously seeing that she was purposefully trying to set him over the edge. He grabbed another vending machine and tossed it at her, clearly aimed to avoid her and not hit anything else of importance either.
Kanra scowled. Shinra had told her that there was probably only one thing that would really get him up to chasing her. As he was bending down to pick up another trashcan, Kanra pulled up her hood to hide her hair. Deepening her voice to sounds as masculine as possible but still believable, she said, "Shizu-chan is a monster, ne~?"
She saw him flinch, and he yanked up the object much faster than he had previously and threw it at her with as much force as seemed possible. Startled, Kanra almost didn't dodge in time to escape injury. The monster yelled in fury, and began running for her to punch her face in.
Kanra giggled and waved a hand at him before turning tail and darting off. She wasn't really scared, knowing that she wasn't going to get distracted this time. Nothing other than Shizuka could have distracted her then, so all she had to imagine was that it was her precious mutant chasing her.
This was ruined when Kanra saw a tall blonde running in her direction.
Shizuka followed the crowd – well went against it, but she was still following its path – to find where the commotion was. Izaya was in front of her, making it look incredibly easy to work his way between the hurrying people. Shizuka had to shove people out of her way to get through, scowling at whoever tried to protest.
Shizuka was glad she was so tall, or else she would have probably not been able to see what was happening to start the commotion. It was Kanra, standing still but occasionally jumping or moving to avoid a terribly aimed projectile. Across from her was the man Shizuka had faced off with the previous day, throwing the stupid missiles.
"Shizu-chan?" Izaya mumbled, stopping next to Shizuka when they were too surprised to move.
Kanra seemed to sigh, and then pulled her jacket's hood up. Whatever she said made the attacking blonde hesitate and then throw his chosen missile much harder and better than his previous tries.
"Kanra!" Shizuka called, her voice failing to go far due to a person's nearby screaming.
She began pushing through a few interested observers again, Izaya choosing to follow this time instead of leading the way.
Shizuka's gaze met the ant's, and the two of them shared a mixed look of elation, concern, and irritation. The look would have been impossible for anyone except them, and maybe their lookalikes who seemed to be much more than just doppelgangers.
That was when everything went wrong.
Shizuka and Kanra were both too preoccupied with seeing each other to see the man who was a little too close. Shizuka's eyes widened as she saw the man grab the brunette, pressing something to her mouth that quickly stopped her struggles.
The man chasing her, having never really cared about the chase, stopped himself before throwing the pole in his hands. He hesitated, trying to comprehend what was happening. After a second he yelled and discarded his weapon, running at the man who was now dragging the small girl to his van.
Shizuka was running as soon as she saw the man. Her eyes were wide with the terror of losing her precious ant again. She mentally screamed at her legs to move faster, trying to use her unnatural strength to push herself farther to speed herself up.
Izaya was quickest, despite having the least reason to catch the girl. He had seen the man's destination before either of the blondes, moving for that rather than the girl and her captor. He reached the van just as it was starting up. He grabbed the trunk, managing to find a grip. He held on as the van sped away from the blondes, not stopping as it almost hit a couple other cars and disappearing from sight.
