After talking to Harima Mika, Saki had felt a little better. She walked around Ikebukuro for a while. She wanted to go to Raira Academy but knew Masaomi Kida wouldn't be too thrilled to see her.
After walking around Ikebukuro for a good two hours, Saki was starting to get nervous… and hungry. She had nowhere to stay for the night and the money she had with her wouldn't be sufficient enough for even a hotel room. She really didn't think this plan through.
(flashback starts here)
When Izaya had taken Saki in, she was eleven years old.* Her parents had gone out one night for a drive and never came home. She had been living alone for about two months when her future came knocking on the front door of her apartment. There he was, Izaya Orihara, with a grin spread across his face. "Hello, there~. I'm Izaya Orihara and pretty soon I'll be the most famous Informant in Tokyo. Every district will know my name. You must be Sarasouju** Mikajima, but I don't like that name, so I'm going to call you Saki-chan, 'kay~?"
Saki stood there briefly, wondering if she should slam the door in this man's face before answering him. "T-that's okay… I guess." She answered quietly while looking at her feet. Her parents had always called her "Sara."
"Saki-chan~ , you look lonely. It's because your parents left you behind, right? I think you deserve better, Saki-chan." He crouched down so he could talk to the young girl face-to-face. "I could take you away to my kingdom and make you my beautiful princess. You can help me conquer all of Japan. So how about it, Saki-chan~?"
She willingly became his pawn that day. But what Saki didn't know was the reason her parents were dead was because of that very same man and when she did find out, she would be too far under his spell to hate him for it.
Saki has yet to regret her decision.
(end of flashback)
"Ah! Saki-chan! You look hungry! Eat sushi, sushi good! For you, a special discount!" Saki looked up to see Simon smiling back at her. Simon, you're a life-saver. She though. "That sounds great, Simon. I'd love some sushi!" Saki chimed and Simon led her inside.
*That makes Izaya about 19, in case you didn't want to do the math.
**Taken from the light novel… In the translation I read, it says her real name is Sarasouju. (I haven't read the manga yet so I don't know if it says so in there too or if the manga is even up to that point.)
Once again, this seemed so much longer in MS Word... Oh, and how would you guys feel about me putting the next part in Kida's POV? That's most likely what I'm going to do and like include a flashback of what was going through his head at the movies.
