Misa's P.O.V.-

I dropped my arm that held my cell phone and I froze in place. It felt like time had stopped. I couldn't hear anything but the sound of my heart beat.

The woman on the phone kept talking but I wasn't listening. I was just thinking how I could have been such an idiot to believe Anri was fine, that she was out living her normal teenage life, like every other normal teenager. She should be going through a rebellious stage and going out to parties and having fun. She shouldn't be dealing with all of this! But who was I kidding. 'She isn't normal. We aren't normal.'

I came to my senses knowing now wasn't a good time to think about the past. I had to stay calm. I raised my phone back up to my ear. The woman was still talking but I didn't care.

"Where is she?" I stated rather bluntly.

The woman stayed quiet for a moment. I was about to repeat myself but before I could open my mouth again she said.

"She's here in the second building of Ikebukuro Hospital. But she's…"

"Thank you." I clicked the 'end' button and ran out the door; hearing a slam behind me as I ran down the steps of the apartment.

I ran as fast as I could. 'I can't believe I actually remember where it's at.' I thought. I ran two blocks so far and had four more to go.

My iPod was still on and the song now playing was "Life" by Yui. 'Tell me about it' I thought. I was half way on the third block and running into a lot of people. I heard things like "watch where you're going." "What the hell." And "You idiot." I swear if I weren't running to the hospital right now to go see Anri then I would stop and punch them.

I got to the fourth block and I realized I was near Russia Sushi and right, but I halted to a complete stop when I street sign landed right in front of me. "What the HELL?" I exclaimed. I looked around and saw that there was a huge crowd around two guys. One was tall and thin with short black hair and auburn eyes, dressed in black and holding a knife while holding a smile on his face. Not a good kind of smile though. The other one I couldn't quite see very well.

The crowd got bigger and I was pushed into it. I went forward but someone pushed me with a "Get out of the way!" I stumbled into the clearing with the two men. 'Wait. Is that… Shizuo?' Oh not now. I have to go see Anri. I began to run across, cutting right in between them but I was greeted with another stop sign flying in the air and coming my way. 'Oh crap! Not again!' As a reflex I shut my eyes and shielded myself by putting my arms up to my face and my neck. I waited for the impact but it never came. I looked up to see that Shizuo was in front of me holding the stop sign and breathing heavily.

I dropped my arms and he dropped the stop sign. He turned around to face me but looked up with an angry look. 'Wait what? Was he angry at me? What did I do?'

"Well looks like you saved her. And Just in time too." I heard a voice from behind me. I turned around and saw the man from before smirking. "I don't know how you could have dealt with hurting an innocent bystander. But I guess you already know how it feels." He said while putting he knife away and turning around. "Until next time Shizu-Chan!" he said in a sing song voice and then ran away.

The next thing I heard was "IZZAAAYYYYAAAA!" coming from Shizo. He was about to run off and chase him but realizing I was there didn't go.

'Okay. Mental note: Don't piss Shizuo off for anything or you will die!'

"What the hell do you want?" He said in a harsh voice at me. He took out a cigarette, lit it and put it on his lips.

I looked up at him angrily; I only reached to his chest so obviously I had to look up. "What do I want? Well let's see here. I want a magical pony and a hamster named Kit. Oh wait no. What the hell do you think I want? You almost hit my with a freaking stop sign TWICE! And now you're yelling at me! I want an apology! That's what I want!" I felt my face flush in anger and my hands go into small fists.

He looked irritated but didn't say anything, just kept smoking. He had his hands stuffed into his pants pocket of the bartender suit he wore. He brought one hand out and took out the cigarette from his mouth to blow out smoke.

I don't like this smoke and I defiantly don't like a guy being a jerk to me for no reason. I folded my arms and waited for about a minute.

Shizuo's P.O.V.-

This girl was just standing there looking up at me angrily demanding an apology. After a minute I got board.

"Look girl…"

"It's Misa! Did you forget already? Maybe if you weren't so busy throwing stop sign at people you would actually remember my name." she said.

"Alright, look Misa. I'm sorry I threw a stop sign at you. There. Happy?"

"What? That's it? No. I want a real apology."

'How real could it get?'

Misa's P.O.V.-

An ambulance suddenly came by and then I remembered about Anri. 'You Moron! Ugh!'

"Listen Shizuo I want a real apology. I intend to get it. So I'm going to leave but I'll be back. When I come back I want my apology." I turned around, hear a small clack and began to run again, bumping into people as I did.

Shizuo's P.O.V.-

The girl turned around and left but when she ran I heard a clack and looked down to fined a small blue phone. I bent down and picked it up. It must've belonged to Misa. I looked in the direction she was headed and began to walk in her direction.

'I'm not waiting around here for who knows how long for that girl just to give her an apology. And if I give her back her phone then she'll leave me alone with the apology thing.'

I saw her running up some steps in the direction of Ikebukuro hospital. It's not really hard to miss her considering she's the only one running like she has somewhere important to be. Everyone else just walks around, going back and forth and then finally sitting down on one of the many benches. It's Saturday. Obviously no one had anywhere to go.

I followed her into the second building of Ikebukuro hospital and saw her run down the hall and go into a room on her right.

Now I know where she's at. I walked down the hall with the cigarette in my mouth but when a doctor saw me with it he told me to burn it out. I did. I didn't want any other crap from anyone else. When I reached the room I opened the door and found her on the ground in tears.

'What the hell happened to her?'

I looked up and saw a girl on the hospital bed. She was asleep but had bandages on her neck and arms as far as I could see. She had a blanket over her so I couldn't tell if she had any more bandages.

The door creaked and Misa turned around. A little shocked, angry, and… relieved?

"Wh-What are you doing here?" she sniffled and tried to stop herself from crying.

"I followed you to…"

"…to apologize for throwing a stop sign at me?" She cut me off. Damn this girl is persistent.

"Maybe." I closed the door and went up to her. "The floor is really dirty. You should probably get up."

She looked up at me and blinked. I offered her my hand and I was relieved when she didn't argue.

Misa's P.O.V.-

I took his hand and let out one more tear. I wanted to cry more. I wanted to cry so badly. But I didn't want him to see.

"It's alright." He looked up at the ceiling like he was trying to ovoid what he was going to say.

"what?" I asked a little confused.

"You can cry if you want to. No one's stopping you. Go ahead and cry. I won't watch you if that's what you're concerned about." He looked to the side, toward the wall.

I didn't want to, but the next thing I knew I was holding on to his vest with both of my arms and crying into his chest. I just couldn't stop myself.

I'm sorry It took forever. I've been working on some drawing and designs to put up of Misa. They're not done yet. But they should be done by this Sunday, as well as another chapter. I promise to at least put up one chapter or two at the most every week. And I'm getting to the Black Stars gang. Thank you!
