The Weakest Girl in Ikebukuro

Fateful Meeting

Shizuo's POV

Another annoying day of listening to people's stupid excuses of why they don't have the money they owe Tom. I swear I was about to throw a barstool at one man who was drinking away his money. Grr just thinking about it gets me angry...

"Please just let me leave. I don't have any money, I just moved here." I heard someone plead, a woman by the sound of it.

As I followed the voice, I travelled into a dark alley. There was a girl who was being cornered by a group of thugs.

"What about that pretty necklace? That's gotta be worth something." One thug suggested.

"N-No please. My grandmother gave me that for my birthday!" She pleaded.

"Hand it over! Or I cut it off, and I won't be gentle." Another threatened hold a knife.

"P-Please...what did I ever do to you?" She asked whimpering.

That's it.

"Hey assholes!" I growled.

As they turned around their bodies collided with a dumpster.

"It really pisses me off when I see thugs picking on the innocent." I growled grabbing a garbage can. "So why don't you scram!!!!"  I shouted throwing it at one of the thugs who was currently running away.

As I looked around making sure the thugs were either gone or unconscious, I noticed the girl trembling in fear.

I took a couple steps and knelt down. "Hey, you alright?" I asked.

As she looked up at me, I saw she had h/l h/c hair and beautiful e/c eyes. "Y-Yeah. Thank you for saving me."

I felt my self become flustered. "I-It was nothing, really...I was just walking home when I saw those jerks bothering you." I said scratching the back of my neck.

"I'm Y/n L/n, and I just moved here from c/n." She said smiling and holding out her hand for me to shake.

"C/n? You're a long way from home, and from the way you speak Japanese I would've thought you were born here. I'm Shizuo Hewajima by the way." I smiled taking the girl's hand and helping her stand up.

"It's nice to meet you, Shizuo. I'm very grateful for saving my life." She bowed respectfully.

"Don't worry about it. It's not like they were going to kill you. Come on let me walk you home." I offered.

"Thank you, but you've already done so much for me..," She began to say.

"It'll put my mind at ease to know that you got home safe. I wouldn't be much of a hero if something happened to you twice in one night." I insisted.

"Ok..if you insist. It's a few blocks from here." She said beginning to walk down the street.

????'s POV

Hmm it seems Shizu-chan just rescued a damsel in distress. A new damsel by the look of her. I've never seen her before, but the way her eyes shine makes me think there's more to this weak human.

I'll have to keep a very close eye on those two. This city gets more and more interesting everyday...
