Black Stars-
Misa's P.O.V-
It was 6:40 a.m. when I got up to get ready for work. I put on a white T-shirt that had a little panda on it with the word "Tokyo" written in red Japanese writing and pulled on a pair of light blue denim shorts. I put on my black flats and looked in the full body mirror. I was now fully awake and ready for another day of work; it was Saturday so I would only work from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m.
I went to Anri's room and she was just starting to wake up. She rubbed her eyes and put on her glasses. "Good Morning, Misa." She said.
"Morning Anri. What are you going to do today?" I asked with a smile.
"umm. I think… I think I'll catch up on the homework I missed during the week I was gone. I don't want to be behind." She finished with a small smile.
"Are you sure?" I didn't really want her to be at home by herself being bored. "If you want I can be home early and we can spend the rest of the day together."
"No. It's fine." She finished.
"Alright then…" I said skeptically. "I'll be home by 2 the latest. Make sure to take the medicine the doctor gave you. Call me if you need anything. Bye Anri."
"Bye." She said in a small voice.
I left the house and took my usual route to the café. Along the way I found Simon giving out flyers and saying "Eat at Russia Sushi" like every other day. Like always I would stop and we would chat then I'd be on my way. Erika and Walker ran passed me and shouted a quick hi and bye, followed by Kadota saying a quick hi and bye and something along the lines of never calling him Dota-chin. 'Wow. He looked a little mad.' I let out a small sigh. 'Erika knows how to push his buttons.'
After a while I was almost at the café when a girl bumped into me. "Watch where you're going!" she spat.
"You bumped into me." I stated back and keeping my composure.
"Whatever." She flipped her hair and crossed her arms, like she was waiting for an apology.
I started to get a little irritated at that moment.
"Well, you look mad." I heard a familiar devious voice from behind me. I didn't even need to turn around to see who it was. As I guessed right, Izaya walked up beside me.
"I'm not mad." I said and folded my arms. "I'm just a little irritated." I kept starring at the girl in front of me. Something was off though. She wasn't looking at me now, with her irritated glare she was giving me just a few moments ago. She was looking at Izaya? I looked up at Izaya and there it was; his sly smirk that he always held, but he was also looking back at the girl.
"Hi Izaya-kun." She said with an innocent smile. She was also looking at him like he was a celebrity.
"Hello Ayame. I see you've met my dear friend Misa." There it was; his sly smile.
The girl looked slightly jealous. 'Where have I heard that name before?' I asked myself. To not have deal with more dilemma here, I added to his remark. "I'm not really his dear friend. He just… uh… stalks me from time to time… I think." I gave an awkward smile.
I think I just made the situation worst because she looked really angry. "How dare you say he would 'stalk' you! Why would he want anything to do with you? What's your relationship to him!" Ayame said.
"Well you see here Ayame," Izaya started. "Misa is new to Ikebukuro and she has already confessed her love to me." Smirking, he grabbed the girl's hand looked into her eyes and continued. "But I don't feel the same way about her, but she just can't stay away from me. Isn't that right, Misa?"
'I WHAT!' I was slightly irritated but also amused. I laughed inwardly. 'This girl has a thing for Izaya.' "Oh yeah, you're right on key Izaya. I really can't stay away from a deranged, mentally unstable, sly, smirking fox, devil like you!" I made sure to add a huge fake smile when I finished.
"Well you better stay away from him, or else my big brother will deal with you! Izaya is mine!" Ayame stated.
"Oh I'm so scared." I rolled my eyes. "I'll deal with your brother, anytime and anyplace."
"Oh you would huh?" Izaya let out.
"BIG BROTHER!" Ayame yelled.
'I didn't mean now!' I though. Outside I was calm and collected but on the inside I was freaking out. 'Ren's going to kill me if I'm late to work!'
"IIIZZZZAAAAAYYYYYAAAA!" I heard a huge roar coming from behind me and then saw a stop sign swinging full force at Izaya.
"Shizuo?" the stop sign just missed Izaya by an inch and landing right in front of Ayame. The dust that came from the stop sign began to clear up and Izaya was standing behind Ayame.
Ayame was coughing a bit and getting dust and dirt out of her waist deep brown hair. She rubbed her eyes, and I noticed for the first time that her eyes were purple when she looked up. "Big brother, you almost hit Izaya. You were supposed to hit her!" She pointed at me with an angry look on her face.
Shizuo started walking angrily up to us, more likely Izaya. I jumped in front of Shizuo to try and block him from getting to Ayame and Izaya. I don't really want to be a witness to a murder.
"Get out of the way Misa!" He was panting vigorously and had a death glare in his eyes.
"No way Shizuo. I am not letting you kill Izaya… Right now."
"Big brother , don't listen to her! She was being mean to me and Izaya!" She clutched onto Izaya's right arm.
"Whoa! Whoa , whoa, whoa. Wow. Okay. You're" I pointed to Shizuo. "related to her!" I pointed to Ayame. 'That's why her name sounded so familiar'
"Yes. Now that that's through your head, can you move!" He barked sounding irritated.
"Uhh. Are you going to try to kill Izaya? Or yell at your sister? It really depends on which you're going to do so that I move." I said, still not moving.
"Oh there's no need to protect me Misa, your love for me is enough to keep me going." Izaya said deviously.
"Izaya either shut up or be strangled. Pick one!" I gritted my teeth together.
"You leave my Izaya-kun alone!" Ayame said.
'oh great teenage love'
"IZAYA!" Shizuo yelled, and almost making me deaf in the process. He looked like he was going to just push me to get to Izaya.
"Well it's been nice catching up, but I guess I should go before Shizu-chan gets himself hurt again." He gave his famous sly smile. "Goodbye Misa. Until next time Ayame." He gave her a peck on the cheek and left.
What he did just made Shizuo even angrier then he was already. "GET BACK HERE IZAYA!"
"No Big brother, if you chase him then you might hurt him." Ayame said innocently, and totally oblivious to the fact that that's exactly what he wanted to do!
"Really? He was not trying to do that at all." I said sarcastically. That earned me a death glare from Ayame. 'oh whatever!' Shizuo was still angry. "So Shizuo what you been up to lately?" I asked him trying to get his mind off the topic of what just happened. Nothing.
"Don't talk to my big brother. You obviously made him angry." Ayame said.
'okay we're not going to play this game right now.' "Ayame I think you should go find Izaya to make sure he's okay." As expected Shizuo snapped his head towards me and I earned, yet again, another death glare.
"Don't tell me what to do! I'm going to go find my Izaya-kun to make sure he's alright. I'll see you later big brother!" and she ran off to whatever direction Izaya ran off to.
"Ayame get back here!" Shiuzo yelled.
"Whoa, Shizuo." I grabbed his arm to make sure he wouldn't try to run after her. "Okay right now isn't about Izaya, Ayame, or me. Right now it's about you and calming down. I need you to calm down before you hurt yourself or someone else. Just breathe, take in a deep breath and let it out." He was reluctant at first but then did what I said. "Thank you." I gave him a smile and let go of his arm.
"Whatever." He said calmly. In a short while he was smoking his cigarette with a calm look on his face.
"Oh yeah 'whatever', you know you're smiling inside. You know you want to say 'thank you Misa, you're such an awesome friend' and whatnot." I nudged him."
He smirked. "Until that day, I think you should probably get to work before you're late."
I checked my phone and my eyes widened and I lost my composure. "How is it already 7:52? Ren's going to kill me!"
"Good Luck with that." Shizuo stated.
"Thank you. Because that helps so much!" I said sarcastically. "You're coming with me to explain what happened!"
"And if I don't?" He said in a board tone.
"Then I will… scream until you do!" I threatened him in an awkward way.
"Go ahead." He smirked.
When I didn't do anything he began to walk away. "Thought so."
'Well here I go' I let out a huge almost ear-piercing scream which made whatever people walking by stop and look at me.
Shizuo turned around and covered my mouth with his hand. "What are you doing?" He asked in a surprised voice. He removed his hand so I could answer.
"I told you I would scream." I gave him a small smirk. "So are you going to come now?" I persisted.
"No." he stated.
"Okay then." I took in a deep breath, preparing to scream again but Shizuo covered my mouth with his hand again.
"Okay! Just don't scream again."
I smiled from underneath his hand and nodded my head. "Great! Now let's go!" I grabbed his hand and pulled him in the direction of the café.
When we got to the café, as expected Ren started to give me her "lectures".
"Misa you can't just go running around Ikebukuro and neglecting your responsibilities. You should have handled the situation that was given to you with more intellect. You can't just do that and then run off with your boyfriend over here!" She pointed to Shizuo, who turned slightly red and so did I.
"Ren, before you go overboard with this and continue to lose your voice Shizuo and I are not in a relationship."
"But." Ren started.
"Let me finish. His sister bumped into me and I was going to get over what happened in a minute flat but Izaya came…" I heard a low growl from Shizuo when I said his name. "and his sister went through all this stuff, called big brother over here, they left, I calmed Shizuo down and now I'm here, like we explained it to you. Now can I just get to work before the manager gets here?" I asked hopefully.
"Fine, but we're not done here. Get into your uniform and then come back."
"Okay. Thank you Ren. Okay Shizuo you can go." And I ran out of the manager's office and to the employee's locker room.
Ren's P.O.V.-
Shizuo was about to leave but I slid to be in front of Shizuo and the door to my back.
"Can you step aside?" He asked in an irritated voice.
"I can. But I won't. Listen Heiwajima, I don't want you getting Misa into any trouble. She told me about you. From what I've heard from her and others, your too strong and get too angry. Those are bad combinations."
"What about it?" He looked irritated and had a board tone.
"I'm saying if you hurt Misa in anyway, then people will come after you. She's been in a complicated situation for a while. She's in enough trouble as it is already, and I'm not talking about her being late. My advice to you is to stay away from her." He starred at me. Anger flashed across his face, he was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
"Ren, it's me Misa. Hurry up and open the door before the manager gets here." I heard Misa say on the other side of the door.
I never lost contact with the blond man in front of me. "Alright, hold on." I opened the door and Misa stumbled in wearing her blue maid uniform. I gave a small smile at what she did.
She looked up to find Heiwajima still in the room. "Huh? You're still here Shizuo?" she asked him.
I gave him a look meaning that if he said anything, he would regret it.
"Apparently." He said coldly.
"Ok. Oh, is the anything else you wanted Ren?" Misa gave me her usual smile and I returned it.
"Hm? Oh no never mind. I thought I did, but not anymore. You should start getting to work though" I told her.
"Alright. Come on Shizuo, since apparently you can't find the door to leave." She joked.
Misa left the room again, with Heiwajima following her. "Remember what I told you Heiwajima. This is your only warning." I left the room and shut the door to the manager's office.
Misa's P.O.V.-
"What were you and Ren talking about while I was gone?" I asked Shizuo.
"Nothing." There was that cold tone from when we were in the office.
"Oh, alright then. So you want to hang out after I get off work? You still have to show me around as part of the deal you know." I smiled at him.
"You should get someone else to do that. I'm not the best guide." Again, there was that cold tone.
I was getting a little fed up from his cold voice. 'What did Ren say?' "But it's part of the deal. And the deal was that…"
"I know what it was!" He yelled slightly. "Fine whatever. Meet me by Russia Sushi at 3." And he left.
'Shizuo what happened?'
~Author's Notes~
Okay! I'm so sorry for not updating for like a month or two. So here's what happened-
I got sick for a week, then had to catch up with homework for that week in the week that followed when I went to school so I had no time to do anything. Then I found out I was moving so in my unstable state of crying I couldn't do anything, then the following week my parents dragged me to where we are suppose to be moving (two hours away from where I currently live) to look for houses, the next week I went over to my best friend's house and we talked about me moving and I stayed there for the weekend. The next week after that It was my Best Friend's birthday (same best friend from before) and I went over to her house for a party, we spent that day (Friday) together and also Saturday for a half day. Then I was invited with her and her family to Medieval Times (my very first time going) and now it's this week and now I post! Wow. Loooooooonnnnnggggg explanation. This week I may or may not post because I'm leaving for spring break somewhere for 2 weeks! So. Yeah. Again very sorry for the delay.
