"Oh, uh. Hello there."

...

This...is an awkward situation.

"YOU THINK?!" Natsu exploded, getting all up in my face in an instant. I blinked, feeling my hair being blown backwards by the wind he brought with him. Then I wrinkled my nose.

"What did I do?" I asked, and he narrowed his eyes at me.

"I don't know who you are, lady, but back off, I've got this guy." he said, and I 'uh huh'ed simply.

"So, um, where's the dude with the flute thingy?" I asked, and he huffed, shrugging, before seemingly realizing it was kind of important.

"AH! I forgot! This pineapple head got me held up!" he exclaimed in horror. Said 'pineapple head' glared at him with an offended air around him.

"Shut the hell up!" Pineapple Head shouted, just before Natsu and I saw his shadow leap up and at us, forming three snakes for each person. Natsu jumped away, and my eyes widened slightly at the shadows.

"Duuude, you can do that ish too?" I exclaimed, excited. My feet wouldn't be still, I was bouncing on my toes excitedly. He looked over from where he was making another four snakes to attack Natsu, then froze in shock.

"Wh- What the hell did you do?" he asked, gaping at his snakes curled up in a pile in front of me. AsIeep? Dead? 

Dunno.

...

Heh. 

Hehehehehehehe.

My Chemical Romance.

Heheheheheheheheheheheheh.

Ahem. 

"It just.... sorta happened. Uh. I'll be going now. To look for whatshisface." I said awkwardly, stepping over the snakes and slowly taking big steps towards the exit. 

Where the hell were we, anyway?

"Don't you-" Pineapple Head was interrupted by Natsu jumping between me and him.

"Don't forget who you're fighting, Pineapple Head!" he declared, seemingly irked by being ignored. 

The two engaged in battle again, Natsu fulfilling the role of every Shonen manga main character ever; getting beat up before retaliating.

Seeing as I wasn't needed here, I frowned slightly. Where the hell was WhatsHisFace?

Conveniently as I thought this, I heard a sound. A soft sound, quite melodic but somehow dangerous. 

Naturally, I fell in love with it.

"Lucifer, d'you hear that?" I asked, jumping upthrough a hole in the roof of the building and standing on the rubble left hanging down. 

'You really should go that way, Master. Really, you should.'

"Are...are you fangirling right now?" I asked, half incredulous and half amused. He was quiet for a few second before clearing his throat. 

'Anyway, that's the direction you should be going in.' he said, but there was no way I'd let him off so easily.

"Nononono, we don't get to pass right over that." I began, but he cut me off, embarrassed.

'For the sake of plot progression, can you just.'

I would have teased him further, but decided to spare him the torment, and just chuckled, moving on the rooftops in the direction of  the sound. It really was pretty...well. Pretty.
