Nix: and shiiittt is going down!
Disclaimer; I DUN OWN
Melissa on the ground panting, blood slipping past her lips, her vision was hazy at best and her head was spinning. She felt two hands scoop her up and someone throw her over his shoulder. Her face met the end of white fuzzies as the world became black.
What a pain in the ass.
~Rewind to a few days earlier~
Morning for Melissa was always the same, four cups of coffee, then shower then get dressed, then explore! She stood at the door, dressed in black and red strapless corset with a black short skirt. She wore odd boots that were spiked and had an odd sole to them, leather fingerless gloves, a leather jacket, a black pyramid spiked bracelet and her normal red eyed necklace. She was waiting for Cathy, who seemed to wear almost the same thing every day… Cathy walked over and smiled lightly, slipping out as Melissa shut and locked the door. She fixed her jacket, walking with her small friend calmly. Melissa had offered to walk the girl to her school every day since it seemed the gang activity was rising, and poor Cathy was so tiny.
Melissa smiled calmly, walking with the shorter girl calmly. "So how is it going on the job front?" she asked.
"Ah it's actually going pretty well, I already have two modeling agencies fighting over me." Cathy replied, smiling.
"That's wonderful." Melissa said, beaming.
"And what about you? Learning anything?" Cathy asked.
"Lot's actually. Glad I decided not to enroll in a public school and chose to go to college online, it makes wondering and learning about things through experience sooo much easier." Melissa said, looking around as they walked.
"That's good." Cathy said, flipping her fedora around in her hand calmly. They walked up to the school and Melissa hummed, seeing that Mikado kid from the bus stop some odd days back. She waved bye to Cathy, calmly turning and walking down the street once more.
Per usual Melissa just wondered around, watching the people whom passed by, near the lunch hour Melissa was happily walking to her new favorite restaurant, Russia Sushi. She grinned, seeing her favorite Russian standing outside with fliers and ran over. She hugged him, grinning. Simon liked hugs.
"Hi Simon!" She sang, Simon hugging her back and wiggling like a doofus.
"You come eat sushi again Melissa?" He asked, the girl nodded, beaming up at the man, who was a lot taller than her. She let go of the man, grinning as she walked inside. But once she reached the door an arm was slung over her shoulder, and her smile faded. Melissa's blue eyes flicked to her right and she frowned, seeing the one and only Izaya Orihara standing right beside her.
"Miss Hirogatchi is it?" He asked slyly, smirking at the girl. "Why don't you join me for lunch? It'll be my treat, as an apology for letting you get hit with that vending machine last week." With the boots she had on Melissa was eye level with the 5'10 informant, her eyes narrowing slightly at the gleam in his reddish brown ones. Throughout her head rang all the warnings people had given her since she'd arrived… but she merely grinned and shrugged.
"I don't see why not." She said, walking inside with him, Izaya getting the door for her. How gentlemanly. They walked in and Izaya led her to a private booth calmly, they sat down and a rather, suddenly weary Simon came and took their drink orders.
"I must say I'm surprised Melissa." He said, smirking as he rest his chin on his fisted hand, watching the girl across from him who smiled back calmly. "I know you've gotten all kinds of warnings to stay away, and yet you so easily said it was fine to eat with you. May I ask why?"
"Because, I've received warnings about Shizuo, but he lives in the same apartment complex I do, I know him and he's a very nice guy. That doesn't mean the same cannot apply to you in certain aspects." She said calmly, her voice getting a bit low as she spoke. "I try not to let other people's opinions color my own."
"As I can tell." He said, motioning towards her somewhat odd outfit. Then he made a face. "But why on earth would you want to be friends with that protozoan Mel-chan?" He asked. Melissa gave a tiny smirk; there it was his nickname for her.
"It's like I said before, I'm not going to let others color my opinion of someone. I find Shizuo is a nice guy, and I enjoy being his friend." Melissa said calmly. Izaya went to say something else but Simon walked over and took their food order calmly. Melissa sipped at her tea, noting Izaya watching her as he grinned.
"You're so fascinating~" He sang randomly, Melissa quirked her brow for him to continue. "You are so odd and yet adorable, and despite all your quirks you're intelligent. I can see it in your eyes; you're looking me over, thinking about everything. I haven't met a human like you in a long time." Izaya went on about how humans could be so boring and how someone interesting would come along every now and again. As he did so Melissa finished her sushi and hummed calmly.
"Though it was lovely talking with you Izaya, I must go." She said, pulling out her wallet but Izaya stopped her, grinning.
"Don't worry about the bill my dearest Mel-chan." He sang. Melissa smiled and nodded.
"Well thank you Izie-chan." She chirped, standing and walking from the private booth. Izaya blinked at the nickname. Before he huffed. HE WAS THE NICKNAME MASTER NOT HEEEERRRRR. Melissa grinned widely, walking from Russia sushi she skipped down the street, laughing softly to herself. She spun around on the toe of her boots, her arms out as she laughed.
"This is why I love Ikebukuro! If only mom could see it now." She calmed, stopping her spinning and skipping down the street, chuckling to herself. "Tokyo wouldn't have this much excitement now would it." She said, skipping to Cathy's school. She made a pit stop at the apartment to grab something for Cathy, blinking when she saw a note stuck to the door. She opened it, amused. Izaya wanted her to come over to his apartment huh? Well it should be fun.
"Very well Izaya, I'll play your game of God." She said, pocketing the paper and continuing to the school, her eyes half-lidded. Melissa spent the day walking Cathy around, keeping gang members from attacking the poor girl. Once she saw Izaya that day, him getting hit with a trashcan then running off as gang members surrounded Shizuo and the teenaged kids.
"Cathy hun stay here." Melissa said, calmly walking towards the melee of flying gang members towards the cowering teens. She moved, dodging a gang member with a metal bat and came upon the teens, smiling down at him calmly. "Hey let's get out of here before you guys get hit with something, trust me it's not pleasant." She said, the trio blinked up and her before nodding.
"Thank you miss!" Mikado said. Melissa took the girls hand and started dragging them around the melee. One gang member flew through the air and Melissa pushed the kids heads down and ducked as well. Then she stood up.
"Nice boxers." She called, snickering as she marched away from the fight with the teens calmly… then got whacked with a random gang member with a piece of wood… "ow."
"Oh my goodness are you okay?!" Mikado asked, freaking out. Melissa laughed, walking off and over to Cathy.
"I'm fine kid, don't worry about it." She said, amused as Masaomi was mumbling about how good looking she was. Despite her weirdness, Melissa was one hot chick.
"How's the bruise?" Cathy asked, looking up at her roommate.
"Coming back with a vengeance no thanks to random yellow scarf." She said calmly, pulling off her jacket and rubbing her bruised shoulder, making a face. Then Mikado freaked out even more. Oh my…
"Your shoulder! What happened?!"
"I got hit by a vending machine when Izaya used me as a human shield." She said, shrugging calmly. Masaomi made a face at the name Izaya. "Anyway I gotta go, twas fun saving your butts. Buh bai~" She sang, turning and skipping off with Cathy.
"How can you skip in those?" Cathy asked.
"I just can. Cause I'm awesome." She said nonchalantly. The three teens watching them go.
"Well that was odd." Mikado said. The girl nodded.
"She's hot." Masaomi said, drooling as he watched her walk off. Mikado made a face.
"Come on, we should get going." Anri said her voice soft. The three nodded, walking in the opposite direction in thought.
