Kanra smirked to herself, noticing all of the people's stares on her as she walked down the street. Despite having nothing to do, and having no one to tease, she was having fun just watching the lovely people live their lovely lives. It was fun watching a few people call out to others in friendly or aggressive ways, others seeming to talk to themselves only for Kanra to see the cellphones in their hands, and still others not talking to anyone but just going about their personal business. It was all just so fascinating that Kanra wanted to watch it all day.
Just as she jumped onto a bridge's railing, she heard someone scream "IZZZZZAAAAAYYYYYAAAAA!" She turned around quickly, eager to see which of her lovely humans possessed so much anger. She had thought only Shizuka capable of that kind of rage.
She dodged quickly, a giant vending machine crashing into the spot she had just vacated. The man who had yelled was just a bartender, but looked surprisingly like Kanra's precious mutant, short blonde hair and all. He was already grabbing at a new projectile, snarling in her direction the whole time.
Startled, Kanra let out a squeak as she was forced to dodge another machine as he yelled "IZAYA!" again.
Kanra looked around. No one was nearby, and she had no idea who this "Izaya" was supposed to be. He couldn't possibly mean—
"I told you to never show your face in 'Bukuro again!" the man spat, stomping closer when he saw that she was making no move to escape.
Kanra's pulse was beating wildly. She had never been attacked by anyone besides Shizuka before, and this man was making her more anxious than she had ever been with her beloved mutant. She had to guarantee that this monster would hold back, and that made her almost scared enough to run away.
The man pulled out a signpost and glared at her silence. "DIE FLEA!" he screamed, swinging the post down in an arch that was aimed straight at Kanra.
Shizuka had been walking for a while. She was in her school uniform, and it was causing a few people to stare at her with creepy looks. She had stolen a little of Kanra's money that morning, and so had enough to buy a cheap outfit in a store to get the stares off of her. She had bought a cheap black skirt, plain white shirt, a black vest, a bowtie to finish the look, and then got some blue sunglasses just for the sake of it. She kept her tights and shoes from her school uniform, but ditched her other clothes. She would just make her father buy her a new one.
This got her less stares, but she still didn't like it. One man in particular wasn't even trying to conceal the perverted look he had on his face as he eyed her chest. She was about to pummel him when she heard someone yelling. The man's voice seemed to startle everyone around, making them all look in the same direction. Many of them even began walking in the opposite direction, glancing worriedly back at where the noise had come from as they went.
Shizuka had decided that no one but Kanra could cause as much commotion, and decided to see what the ant had gotten into this time. The scene she found would have been laughable if it wasn't for the worried look in Kanra's eyes.
A man dressed similarly to Shizuka was stomping toward the ant with violence in his eyes. Shizuka would have respected him for it if it wasn't directed at her ant. Only she could threaten the ant like that, and she wasn't going to let anyone else make the ant look as scared as she did.
The man pulled out a signpost and screamed, "DIE FLEA!" just as Shizuka made her move.
Shizuka darted forward, pulling out a stop sign as she did, and forced herself between the ant and her assailant. Her signpost caught the man's, making the scene almost like they were holding swords.
"You're late," Kanra said, her tone arrogant.
"Shut it, ant!" Shizuka spat, barely keeping the man's signpost where it was. She was leaning backwards, with one leg back to stabilize her. He was leaning forward, glaring as he saw the defiance in her eyes.
"Who the fuck are you?" he growled, shoving down harder.
"That's my line," Shizuka spat, moving back slightly to be in a better position to hold him off. Kanra had moved away slightly, allowing Shizuka the room to do so.
"Is Shizu-chan terrorizing the public again?" a familiar voice sneered.
All three of them glanced at the voice, and a familiar figure stood nearby, practically radiating arrogance.
"FLEA?" the strong man asked angrily at the same time Shizuka yelled, "ANT?!"
