Kanra jolted awake as a man grabbed her ankles and yanked on them hard. She cried out in pain, falling out of the car onto concrete. She tried to get up, but someone had beaten her too it, yanking her up and tying her hands together behind her back. His friend also put a blindfold over her eyes, covering her nose a little to ensure that she saw nothing of their surroundings.

Kanra was shoved from behind, making her almost fall over onto the concrete again. She walked slowly, counting her steps to determine the distance. A man behind her occasionally shoved her to disrupt her count, but she wasn't so easily distracted when there was nothing to do besides count. The man pushed her one last time, shoving hard enough to send her sprawling onto the floor.

"Enough," an all-too-familiar voice said in a sigh. "I said to get her, not kidnap her. Where's the other one?"

The man standing behind her said in a rough voice, "The blonde was too difficult to nab. Figured we'd get her in a bit. This one was harder."

Kanra used her legs to get into a sitting position. She shifted her shoulders around, trying to work out the kinks in them. As she did this she said, "So Father, you've brought me back."


"Who the fuck is this?" Shizuka growled, pointing angrily at the skinny nerd in a labcoat. "You said we were going to someone to help!"

The man smiled awkwardly. "My name is Shinra Kishitani, and I think I know your friend."

Shizuka glared at him, but didn't make a move towards him. That alone should have proved that she wasn't going to hit him…yet.

"Is her name Kanra?" the man, Shinra, asked.

Shizuka snarled. "I'm not telling you anything until you tell me who you both are and what exactly you have to do with Kanra."

Shinra's smile turned pleasant. "I already said my name and this is Shizuo Heiwajima, I'm sure you've heard of him. We happened to—"

"Nope," Shizuka interrupted. She turned to the blonde man she said, "Stop thinking so highly of yourself. Don't assume anyone's heard of you."

The man smirked. "I'm not assuming anything, he is."

Shinra grinned. "Sorry if you haven't. Um…how should I put this…?"

"I don't care," Shizuka growled. "Just tell me what you have to do with Kanra." She had her arms crossed over her chest, and was having difficulty keeping them still. She wanted to punch this guy for delaying, but was determined not to lose her temper.

Shinra nodded. "Of course. See, I found her being chased by someone, and treated her to lunch. I was curious as to why she looked like a friend of mine, but couldn't find anything."

Shizuka clenched her hands into fists. "So," she murmured almost too quietly for him to hear, "you're the reason I was separated from her."

"So you were the one chasing her?" Shinra asked. "I should have assumed. After all, you two look and act very much like Izaya and Shizuo."

Shizuka rolled her eyes. "That weird flea is nothing like my ant."

Shizuo lifted an eyebrow at her. "By flea, do you mean Izaya?"

Shizuka nodded. "Yeah. That weirdo said he'd find Kanra for me. Then he took off after her when that bastard stole her!" She clenched her jaw and stomped the floor. "That freak didn't help me very much!"

Shinra's smile was curious now. "Would you mind telling me about yourself?" he asked. "Your friend refused to help very much."

Shizuka snarled at him. "No. You two are going to help me find the ant, and then I'll be on my way."

"Is this 'ant' you're friend Kanra?" Shinra asked. "Also, I am curious as to your relationship to her. She referred to her father as yours as well, making you two sisters, but that does not seem right."

Shizuka snorted. "She's not my sister, dumbass. She's a sneaking ant!"

"But you are very concerned with this girl who you were chasing down recently," he added. "I assume you were trying to hurt her, but your concern for her confuses me."

Shizuka growled and glanced around. She saw the sun coming up, the sky slowly brightening in the weirdo's window. "You have ten minutes to tell me where she is," she warned. "After that I'm going to destroy your pathetic city to find her."

Shinra's smile actually disappeared, glancing at Shizuo. A phone chimed and he checked his cellphone. Grinning widely he said, "Celty has just found where they're keeping your friend. I'll tell you where to go then, and you can go get her back."

He got a piece of paper to write down the address, and Shizuka remembered something. "Um…" she began. Both men looked at her, and she glanced away to not meet their eyes. "Um… I don't really know this city that well. And… well… well I'm gonna need one of you to show me the way."

Shizuo chuckled. "Fine then. I'll show you the way. Might be fun."

Shinra beamed and handed the location to Shizuo saying, "Give Celty my love!"


Sarin: Just a warning, Kanra's parts are going to be pretty boring unless you like story builder, which I hope you would since you've read this much.
