Shizuo stepped out of the office to find Kururi and Mairu sitting in the same spot, looking up at him with wide smiles. He narrowed his eyes and looked them over.
"What's with the look?"
"We know what we wanna do today!" Mairu exclaimed as she bounced up out of her seat and leaping onto the debt collector. He stumbled back as she wrapped her legs around him and hugged his chest. Kururi bounded up and hugged Shizuo's waist, burying her face into his hip.
"W-what the hell guys? Off!"
Miaur leaned back a bit, arms still wrapped around Shizuo's neck, "Let's go to the arcade!" she squealed, causing Shizuo to flinch at the high pitched sound. He grabbed them by the back of their hoods and lifted them off, holding them a few inches off the ground as he peeled them off. He observed them for a moment, before sighing and dropping them onto the ground.
"Alright. Lets go pipsqueaks." he grumbled as he put his hands back into his pockets and shuffled out of the debt collection agency, the twins right on his heels.
Mairu giggled loudly and brushed her shoulder against Shizuo's arm, bumping him a bit. "Shizuo-kun! Iza-nii calls us the same thing!~"
"Huh?"
"Pipsqueak." Mairu answered. Shizuo groaned and rubbed his temples.
"Just great. That's exactly what I need. Some sort of similarity with that ass." Mairu burst into laughter, and even Kururi giggled a bit to herself.
"Yeah, Iza-nii is a big ass. Kinda of a creeper too!"
Shizuo growled under his breath, "Don't get me started on that part. With the way he's always watching people. He's like some stalker." He stiffened a bit as he remembered what Mairu had slipped up earlier. "And you even said he has files on me!"
"Mmhmm! He has files on everyone. But your's was the deepest, from what I could tell." Mairu giggled as she skipped ahead, her eyes set on the arcade coming up on the street.
Shizuo blinked and glanced over at Kururui beside him, "Deepest?"
She nodded, "Lots (of information) on you. Way (back into the) past (until the) present." Shizuo squirmed a bit and walked a bit faster to catch up to Mairu, who was skipping faster into the flow of people.
"That's a little…"
"Creepy?"
"OBSESSIVE?" Mairu screamed from ahead of the pack. People around her flinched and glanced her way, but didn't question her outburst. Shizuo even jerked a bit at the abrasive word.
"Yeah, obsessive is a good word for it I guess." he muttered. Mairu suddenly stopped and squealed, bouncing up and down.
"The arcade! I can see it! Come on lets go kick some virtual ass!" She dashed through the crowd, disappearing in the sea of bodies.
"W-whoa, Mairu! Wait!" Shizuo called out, grabbing Kururi's hand and running into the crowd, unable to catch up to her. Kururi struggled to keep up with Shizuo's pace, and tugged on his hand to slow down as they forced their way through the crowd.
"Shizuo-san! Slow down, please!" Kururi panted, causing Shizuo to skid to a halt. He waited for her to catch her breathe a bit.
"You just…"
"I…what?"
"You didn't break your sentence." he stated, slightly baffled at the fact she said a complete sentence, even if it wasn't the most literate. But who was he to criticize.
Kururi just shrugged, "You can't…read me….like Mairu. Need to…talk more." She struggled to force more words out of her mouth, and her cheeks dusted pink in her shyness. The blonde smiled a bit as she tried hard to talk to him. He wondered if she talked openly around Izaya.
"Shoulders."
"Huh?" Shizuo stuttered as she pulled him from his daydreams.
The petite girl point to his shoulders, "Shoulders. See over crowd…for Mairu."
"Oh!" Shizuo nodded and bent down a bit, letting the Kururi hop onto his back. She scrambled up onto his shoulders and perched delicately on him, looking over the crowd. Shizuo walked slowly through the crowd, weaving his way through. He held onto her legs tightly, nervous that he might drop the lightweight girl. But she held firm on his shoulders, and bounced lightly when she caught sight of her sister dashing into the arcade.
"Up! Arcade!"
"Awesome job, Kururi!" Shizuo praised, jogging a bit as she wrapped her legs around his shoulders tighter and rested her hands on his head, using his dyed hair as reigns. They ran up to the arcade; Shizuo stooping down so Kururi wouldn't hit her head as he pushed open the door and stepped inside. He stood back up straight, lifting Kururi easily off his shoulders and back onto his shoulders.
"Do you want to split up to look for her?"
Kururi shook her head, "I know." she mumbled, as she grabbed Shizuo's hand and led him toward the back left corner of the arcade. In the back corner, Shizuo could see lots of kids around the same age as the twins, hooting and hollering as they swarmed around one machine. Kururi let go of Shizuo and ducked into the crowd, crawling under the mass of kids feet.
