Shinoda

He glared at the girl from the corner of his eye trying to act tough but really was scared out of his mind,he remained quiet. She looked at Inali and wipped away more tears "You can let him go, Inali I think he won't cause anymore trouble," she looked at Julius "You understand that I've moved on right, and that I don't love you," she said softly he looked like he was about to protest, but decided against it and just simply nodded. Niki put her hand on Inali's shoulder "Thank you very much, Inali, Julius shouldn't be that much of a problem I think," her blue eyes held uncertainty. Julius smiled sweetly at her "Actually, Niki the reason why I'm here today is because, your soon to be step-mom wanted me to keep an eye on you and invited me to stay at your house until your father's back," he confessed wich made her freeze "I'm 18 I don't need a baby sitter!" she yelled at him not liking this problem one bit " I can just stay here with Izaya of go to Inali's if she doesn't trust me alone," she crossed her arms angry that the witch thinks she's some little kid.

She hit to points on his body taking care not be seen doing it. Those points cutting off movement to her legs witch in turn cased his legs to give out. She did not want him to fallow or find out where they where going " I think you need to keep still for a good hour or so. You will get felling back in time." She smirked leaning in "you never want to cross me I take after my great, great, great grandfather and he is very well know for how he killed people who crossed him" She stepped back smirking "so lets get going we have things to do" She grinned as if nothing as happened. she winked at Nikki as if she had something planed, pulling her phone out she made a call taking in Arabic to someone. She had a huge smile on her face it made her look rather crazy.

Niko smiled at her even though her face was slightly puffed up from crying "Let's go,Inali, um where's Izaya?" she looked around and didn't see him. Julius was on the ground unable to stand " Your not just going to leave me here are you?" he growled at them.

"Your lucky we are not in my home lands...have fun dragging your self on the ground like the worm you are" She nodded once they where out of ear shot Inali look at Nikki. "Dont now the deal with that piss ant and I am not going to ask. My door is open to you if you want to get away from him. My family will welcome you with open arms. Two if your not invited you cant come on the property...you will see why when we stop by there." She rubbed the back of her head. " Once you meet Vladimir he will try and use your lap as a seat, he does not realize how big of a dog he is."

Niki nodded "Thank you very much Inali," she paid no attention to the yelling in the background, she could care less what he had to say and for that matter yell. She brightened up at the mention of a dog " I love dogs, their so cute at times," she giggled " I believe big dogs are the best they can be such sweethearts at times," she started to fidget with her hoodie sleeves a little bit. She pushed her bangs behind her ears before going back to fidgeting, she didn't really understand why it just calmed her down some when she fidget a little bit. She smiled " Do you want to head to the arcade now? Or should we wait for Izaya, I honestly think we should wait, but I would like to hear your opion," she stopped fidgeting.

"up to you. I am fine with what you want to do. he has are number so he can call." She nodded. "but your welcome at my house till your old man gets home, hell for all i care move in the place could always use more people with how empty it is. " She smiled, she was trying to look out for Nikki and offer her a safe place and that fact showed. "it would give me someone my age to talk to and hang around"

" How about I text Izaya to meet us there," she was pulled out her phone ' Inali and I are going to the arcade we'll meet you there, I am very much debating weather to stay home tonight,' she sent the message quickly. Putting her phone away she looked to Inali " Okay, let's go," she said as she grabbed Inali's hand and started off to the arcade. Niki smiled at Inali " Thank you for the offer, I might just take you up on it, but the idea of my ex near my room," she smirked at Inali " I'm a lover not a fighter, well physically anyways," she laughed " one thing's for certain you never mess with a girl's room or take anything from said room," Niki smiled all to sweetly " My brother learned that the hard way after taking my "dairy"" she had a dark look in her eyes "Let's just say his hair took a while to grow back," she laughed remembering when she shaved his head after cutting his hair. Niki looked strait ahead her attention was instantly captured by a couple of guys street dancing as always hip hop and they seemed to be having a dance off from the way the group was formed. She looked over to Inali for a moment " Excuse me for a moment, my title of best street dancer is at stake," she walked over to the group of guys. She smirked the competitive look on her face was in place " If you gentlemen won't mind, I'm going to show you how it's done," she walked into the middle and did what she loved doing for 20 min. Out shining them with every move. When the music ended she smiled at the all the boy's stunned faces " That's how a pro does it," she walked out of the group back over to Inali " Sorry, can't help it I tend to get a little competitive at times," she smiled and walked into the arcade " So, What game do you wanna play first?" she asked

She smirked and watched what was going on. Nodding with what Nikki said. "brother from what i hear are pains more times than not. your ex seems whats the word i want" She shut her eyes some thinking..."he seems like he is rather stuck on you and wont let go. I can help you move your stuff over to my place after all you are 18 and can if you want." She wanted to make sure Nikki was safe and had a rather bad feeling that her ex was staying at he place, She nodded at Nikki as she went over and showed the males up clapping some, she at this point wishing she had her torches and lighter. "very well played. If I could dance I would challenge you. Wounder who would win" She smirked "what ever game you want to play"

" Well your going to have to let me think about moving in with you Inali, and yeah Julius can't seem to let me go," she looked at the rows of games the one that caught her eye was the "dance dance revalution" game " As for dancing against you, I don't know it might be pretty close," she laughed but honestly believed it to be true. Niki observed the group of middle school girls playing the game " Hey, Inali that game looks like fun you wanna play," she ignored the dancing game seeing how she just showed up a group of boys, and pointed over to the skee ball machines. She walked over and quickly got some tokens giving half to Inali " Alright, I haven't been to an arcade in a long time," she looked over again to the game she first saw and noticed that another middle school girl not apart of the group was trying to play the game. A frown grew on Niki's face as she noticed the kids seemed to be picking on her for the lack of coordination " Excuse me Inali," she walked over to the group of girls ignoring their snide comments she smiled at the girl " Hey, do you mind if I played with ya?" she jumped up when the girl shook her head no. The "leader" seemed to notice " Why would you play against her she's not even good," the group laughed " Yeah, you must be pretty bad at dancing, to play her," one commented. Niki smirked and leaned over to the girl whispering in her ear for a minute. Turning, her attention back to the back to the group of four she smirked " Well, you little girls are very wrong, seeing as I just creamed a group of boys outside at sreet dancing, I can and will kick your butts right now on this game without even trying," she watch them frown a little but before they could say anything she spoke again " Do you really want to go up against someone on a dance team for high school?" she laughed when the leader and the girls left the arcade after kicking each of their butts on hard to the songs they chose. She left after the kid thanked her "Sorry, they needed to be put in their place, it's not nice to make fun of someone who has bad coordination," she rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly " that and I wanted to play the game, it's funny that was my first time playing it too," she laughed a little nervously.

Izaya, Who was Still in his Crossdress, Ran to The Arcade to meet with Niki and Inali.
"Sorry.. For.. Being Late!" His Voice was still The 'Female's'

While Izaya was still in The Girl's Costume, He Checked his Phone and He Showed The Mail to Them.
"Here. The Proof that I'm Him."Huffing, he's still in The Female Mode.

She nodded at Nikki and than looked over to Izaya "you are one strange little man" She new she had no room to talk. She stretched her back some. "I am going to find a shooting game i tend to be good at those along with racing games." She moved to look around....the last time she was in a place like this she was in grade school. She moved like a show no sound coming from her foot steps. She watched others play and found a shooting game....it did not take long for her to draw a crowed to her, she seemed not to miss her targets in the game...more times than not making a one shot kill shot. Higher and higher her score went and more and more people pulled in to watch.

She smiled at Izaya " Don't worry about it you didn't really miss anything," she nodded at Inali " Have fun,Inali I couldn't shoot to save my own life," she giggled and put some tokens in the skee ball game. Of course she missed a lot of the time always getting nothing " Darn it, I thought this game would be easy," she joked and gained determination in her eyes and moved to try again. She once again missed " Well, that sucks," her eyes traveled to Izaya smiling she grabbed his hand and gave him the rest of her tokens " Here you go, you should pick something to play," she closed his hand around them.

Slowly she grew bord of her game and walked around again. she moved to watch other people play did what she could to lock her self at the high score on other games. She found her way back to the other two and watched them. It was nice to get out and have something else to do besides haveing her nose in a book. She would only leave when the other two where ready to go. and when that time came she would make a call for them to get a ride.

Gathering his stuff scattered along the concrete walkway, Hiro tried to wipe away the blood from his head due to the impact. Why was it so hard to not be an embarrassment? With only one friend, he had his doubts about surviving the year without someone using his backstory against him. But Harlique wouldn't tell, would she? Slowly, Hiro walked past the crash site to the music room. So far, music was his favorite class. The teacher loved his work anyways. That first day was spectacular to both of them anyways. Reaching there with precaution, he found a sign on the door. Music Cancelled.

She smiled at Izaya " Don't worry about it you didn't really miss anything," she nodded at Inali " Have fun,Inali I couldn't shoot to save my own life," she giggled and put some tokens in the skee ball game. Of course she missed a lot of the time always getting nothing " Darn it, I thought this game would be easy," she joked and gained determination in her eyes and moved to try again. She once again missed " Well, that sucks," her eyes traveled to Izaya smiling she grabbed his hand and gave him the rest of her tokens " Here you go, you should pick something to play," she closed his hand around them. She looked at their hands for a moment " Your costume is excellent by the way," she let go of his hands " Hey, Izaya what do you think I should do, Inali, said I could move in with her and I don't want to leave my dad alone to deal with the witch," she paused for a moment " But I don't feel comfortable living with Julius I don't trust him," she looked up with emotion filled eyes.

Niki was on her way to her next class her earbuds blasting whatever song she felt like listening too, she was almost to the art room when she saw a boy staring at the sign on the music room door. She stopped walking to just watch the boy for a moment, a small frown appeared on her face noticing that he had a fresh cut on his head. Niki sighed she always showed up to art class early and she wanted to put her mind at ease so she walked over. Her eyes glanced at the sign and the stuff that the boy was carrying " Hey, are you okay? " she gave him a worried look to show she truly was concerned if he was alright.

Hiro heard the girl talk to him, but his mind was jumbled with insane thoughts. Music had been his favorite class. He was inspired there, he found out about Harlique's talent and liking for him through music. Music brought everything together. Now, the tie has been snapped. He had nothing to turn to. Nobody, nothing.

"No... I'm not okay, dammit." He turned to the girl in tears. "The one thing at this school I care about, gone. Nothing else matters. I should have never come here. I'm worthless anyways, so I should just go and die!" He sprinted the other way, sobbing.

She was stunned at what he said "Wait, kid!" she ran after him. An idea came to her mind she ran down one hallway to cut him off and that's what she did. Niki didn't get why she did this but she stopped him by grabbing his shoulders "Calm down, kid, it's not the end of the world, I can understand why you would love music class it's personally my favorite class as well," she looked him right in his tear stained eyes " You are not worthless everyone has something their good at, you're no different, I'm sure you have something your good at," she whispered softly a soft smile formed on her face " Everyone is is here for a reason, everyone has a place, music can do many things for people but death isn't one of them," she paused for a few seconds "Look, kid, school sucks anyone could tell you that, but what you could do is join the music appreciation club if you already aren't a member, or find a couple more ways to make school bearable," she gave him a bright smile " It could be anything, friends, girlfriend, a goal, a passion, just find something that works for you,"

Hiro's tears stained his face with tear marks. He didn't even know what to think anymore. A grim shadow stood between him and reality.

"Well, you don't know me. You don't know what I've been through. I can't have anyone. Nobody can possibly be there. I just need to face facts and live my life alone. I can't be appreciated for what has happened to me. I suggest you just stay away from me. I need to be alone." With that, he just turned and ran off past the lockers and out of the hall.

She rolled her eyes at the drama, strainting up she left "Whatever, kid when you get sick of pitying yourself let me know!Oh and just so you know your not the only one with problems!" she called to him. Walking back she looked at the music room for a second, a small sad smile came on her face as she remembered her mom teaching her on how to play piano. Niki paused walking to the door she tested the door knob to see if it was open which it was. Turning, on the light she walked over to the piano sitting down she placed her hands on the keys and started to play the song her mother had taught her. The music was soft and always made her think of spring rain falling, a few tears came to her eyes as she remembered her mother singing as she played.

Hiro heard the music faintly as he turned. What was that beautiful noise? He started to follow it, going back the way he came. Maybe... maybe she was right. Whoever she was. After a while of walking and thinking, she came in and saw her playing. Such a beautious sight. Her piano skills were off the charts... like Harlique... Grabbing the guitar he played before, he plugged it in to the amp as she paused. Getting the proper fingering, he then started to play the intro to Cliffs of Dover. He was moving his fingers at top speed, corresponding to the music as the notes flowed out.

She smiled and continued to play not paying attention to the guitar still thinking of when she was obsessed with piano when she was younger. Carefully not to mess up on the last part she finished, still not noticing the kid she picked up her back pack to pull out her journal quickly writing down the song she just played. Smiling, she placed it back in her bag her blue eyes finally settled on the boy she raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Hiro didn't think that she wouldn't notice. He didn't notice himself, so he continued playing the song. Such an excellent melody, such complexity, but so much to love about it. Why couldn't there be music like this? Different but wonderful. As the song came to a conclusion, he looked up to see her staring at him. Isn't this what he wanted? Half of his mind strafed in one direction while the other went away. Such a confusing predicament. Why ca't he make up his mind. A pale stare just prolonged on his face. He really is lost.

Looking, at the lost expession she stood up making sure to pick up her bag " It's a song my mother taught me, I used to love piano but I had to give it up," she shrugged sadly " I can tell you're going through a tough time, right now, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself everyonce in a while," walking up to him she paused for a moment in her steps "I'm sorry, I forgot you wanted to be alone and that I should stay away from you," she rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly

Hiro gave out a small sigh as he felt a bit relieved of her response. He really did think that she was going to hate it. But still, he did have his stakes raised. He continued to think at multiple times he was going to be hated... for nothing. But that was his personality. He couldn't fight it, he just accepted his past. His history was a great deal of pain and suffering, explaining his fears of society.

"It's fine. I'm just really nervous when it comes to people. Sad to say I can't really tell..." Hiro explained with content.
