Ice Cream Wanted

Waitressing was hard. Poor Shadow was on her period, had horrible cramps, and had to deal with even more painful customers. Even worse, her boss made her work overtime. To be exact, her shift started at six in the morning, and she finally got off at four in the afternoon. Ten hours, no overtime pay, and she was constantly yelled at today. She hated Mondays, mostly because people were the most horrid these days. A sigh escaped her lips as she decided some strawberry ice cream would be a good way to end the day. There was a shop on her walk home, what's the worst that could happen?

Strolling up to the door she walked in and smiled when she heard the little bell jingle, however, her peaceful moment was quickly ruined. She jumped in surprise when yelling reached her ears. Her head was already throbbing and her cramps were making it so she was regretting life. She just wanted ice cream! She looked at the scene in front of her to find a skateboarder threatening the shopkeep with his skateboard as a little white-haired girl dressed in gothic clothes was sobbing next to him.

"What do you mean you won't give ice cream to a Homra brat? I'm paying for it you fuckhead. Now give the kid some ice cream or I'll bash in your monkey ass looking face you shit head!" The man roared at the shopkeep.

Shadow was about to turn and leave and let them settle things, she really didn't have it in her to deal with this. Right when she went to leave though, the stupid shopkeep noticed her, "Miss! Miss! Call the police I'm being harassed by this, this monster!"

"Monster? Bastard, you're the monster, not giving a ten-year-old ice cream!" He shouted then turned to Shadow, "You can just fu-"

He stopped mid-sentence when he saw Shadow. His eyes widened and his face flushed red. She blinked in confusion and rubbed her temples trying not to cry due to the pain she was in, "What's going on here?"

"I have the right to refuse service to anyone! I'm absolutely not serving this stupid gang under any circumstance! They beat people up, cause a ruckus, and are frankly a nuisance to society!" The ice cream shopkeep ranted.

"Gang? You called the kid a Homra brat, look you're making this poor child cry", Shadow walked over to the little girl ignoring the frozen skater and the furious shopkeep, "Do you like strawberry ice cream sweety?"

She stopped crying and wiped away her tears and looked at Shadow. Her bright red eyes bored into her as she nodded, "It's really close to red and red is my favorite color!"

Shadow smiled, "Me too. Sir can we get a double scoop of strawberry ice cream in a cone for the little lady and a double scoop of the same in a cup for me?"

"Didn't you just hear me?" The man glared.

"I'll give you a twenty for both, that's more than double what it's worth, now give this child some ice cream or this skater boy will be the least of your damn problems. I had a terrible day, I just wanted some damn ice cream and you're refusing a child service!" Shadow gave her own glare and the shopkeep quickly realized he was out-matched and did as he was told.

Shadow gave him a kind smile, took the girl's hand, and walked out, bidding the man a nice day. Moments later the skater ran out, "Anna! Don't go with strangers!"

"But Misaki, her red is so stunning, I have a good feeling about her! Can she come back with us?" The child's eyes sparkled at Shadow and the skater causing both to agree with whatever the child wanted, even though she just wanted to go home. For an adorable child, she'd have to endure the pain though.

After a pleasant walk to their destination that turned out to be a bar, Shadow and Anna had a really nice talk. Misaki, or as he later introduced himself as "It's Y-yata!" quietly followed the two.
