Hey.
Yeah, I'm kind of running low on funny things to say in the author's notes.
I own nothing.
Mikado was running as fast as he could towards the park. He had been sent a text that the Slasher was in the park-and the Headless Rider had been spotted there.
"[Don't tell me that the Headless Rider is the Slasher!]" he had texted back as a joke, but the text back he had gotten was far more serious.
"[This isn't a joke. Just as a favor, can you please check to see if the rumors are true?]"
So now, Mikado was out in Ikebukuro looking for the park.
"Hey!"
Mikado came to a jarring halt and turned around.
Whoops, it was the blonde man he had run into from before.
"What are you doing out so late?" he asked, his voice carrying a hint of a French accent.
"Oh! Sorry, sir, I was just looking for a friend," Mikado apologized.
The man sighed.
"Why? Did your friend get into an accident?" he asked.
"No, but there's a Slasher around this town, and my friend is in danger...oh, it's too hard to explain!" Mikado groaned.
"Then I'll go with you," the man decided.
Mikado began to complain, then sighed.
"Fine," he muttered, leading the man towards the park.
*~*~*~*
China soon arrived at a place in front of the park. Many different people were there, much to his surprise.
"Great. I'll never find him at this rate," he muttered.
Something at once collided with him, followed by something else, knocking him over.
"What was that for?" China indignatly complained.
"Sorry!"
China looked over his shoulder to see England on top of him and some high school-aged boy with blonde hair and brown eyes.
"What are you doing, Arthur?" China shouted, angrily.
"Sorry, Yao, I was just running from this weirdo!" Arthur responded, pointing at the kid.
"But I wanna touch your eyebrows..." the kid complained.
"And I said NO!" Arthur reminded.
Yao got up, and brushed the dirt off him.
"Who are you, anyways?" he asked the mysterious person.
"I'm Kida Masaomi, and I got a text from an informant that a slasher and the Headless Rider are in the park tonight, so I came to make sure none of my friends are near the park," the boy responded, getting off Arthur.
"I'm Wang Yao, and the man you ran into is Arthur Kirkland," Yao informed.
Kida bowed in greeting.
"Out of the waaaaaay!"
The three guys turned to see a boy colliding with Kida.
"Agh! Mikado!" Kida complained.
"Sorry!" the boy apologized.
Just behind Mikado was France.
"What are you doing here, Francis?" Yao questioned.
"I'm looking for Gilbert!" Francis informed.
"So are we, but we aren't picking random strays!" Arthur reminded.
"Then what would you call Kida?" Yao questioned the British man.
"Will all of you guys shut up?" Kida shouted.
The three bickering men fell silent.
"It's apparent that our friends might be involved with whatever is going on in the park, so I vote that we team up for the time beign until we manage to get our pals out safely," Kida proposed.
"...as much as I don't like the idea, I have to agree," Francis admitted.
*~*~*~*
Meanwhile, Izaya was looking around for Shizuo. He of all people could avoid being taken over by Saika.
"Oh, Shizu-chan~!" Izaya called.
A large trash can smashed the ground right next to him.
"Izayaaaaaaaa!"
Perfect.
The famed blonde walked up to Izaya, peeved as ever.
"What are you doing around Ikebukuro, you flea?" he hissed.
"Shizuo, I need your help. Someone I know is about to face off against the slasher with the Headless Rider," Izaya admitted.
Shizuo snorted.
"Like I'm going to believe that," he sneered.
"Shizuo, you need to believe me this time! This is a life-or-death situation here!" Izaya shouted.
Shizuo glared at Izaya for a few moments more, then sighed.
"Fine. But this had better not be a waste of my time."
*~*~*
With Gilbert and Celty, they had began fighting the Saikas. Gilbert was stabbing as many people as he could, while Celty was swinging her scythe haphazardly.
"Geez. There sure are a lot of these guys," Gil noted.
"That's because they possess someone by slashing or stabbing them. They must want you pretty badly," Celty informed.
Gilbert snorted.
"Just because I'm immortal?" he asuumed.
"It seems so," Celty confirmed.
THe former nation sighed.
"Immortality isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sure, you can't be killed off so easily, you don't get sick...heck, you can't even die. But seeing so many people die while you get the honor of living...it's just not right..."
*~*~*
Meanwhile, America's phone rang.
"S'up?" he asked, answering it.
"Alfred, we have a situation on our hands! Gilbert, we think, might be killed by a Slasher!" China's voice burst from the phone.
"Dude, why are you calling me by my human name?" America asked.
"Gee, do you think I shouldn't be, given our current situation?" China questioned, angrily.
America facepalmed. Of course, China had to be surrounded by humans.
"Okay, just do what you can to save him and bring him back here, hopefully in one piece," the blonde nation ordered.
China hung up at that moment, leaving America to worry.
