Kitten [Izaya Orihara x OC]

CHAPTER 3 | CONCRETE JUNGLE

"All right, we still need class representatives. Who volunteers for this?" The teacher asks and Kat considers it, coming to a new place gave her the chance to reinvent herself. No one knew her before this except for Mikado and even then he didn't know her all that well, despite the fact they had been living together for nearly 3 years. Even if she had wanted to reinvent, would Mikado notice or would he want to do the same thing?

Katerina had always been the one to sit and observe from the side lines but now she was starting to think she wanted to get in on the fun. Just as she was about to volunteer that one girl with a big chest and glasses did it before her. Turns out her name is Anri Sonohara. She slumped in her chair, what now? Mikado also decided to awkwardly volunteer for the position.

Kat guessed Mikado was thinking the same thing, he had always been quiet back in the town Mikado had grew up in. But this new responsibility he had taken on as leader of the Dollars to leading the class as it's representative.

After class, Kat exited swiftly leaving Mikado to shyly talk to Anri, on her way she bumped into Masaomi, "hey Kat, where ya going?" He asked to which she replied, "who knows?" She shrugged with a smirk on her face before walking away, "call me if you need me!"

Katerina had done some exploring around the large city and even had picked up a milkshake from a random street corner when she saw Kyouhei's gang, Mikado and Masaomi. Erika was talking about angels flying through the sky and flashing their panties when she spotted Katerina. "Speaking of angels, we think Kat should start flying."

Her face turned red at the inappropriate comment, "hey guys."

They all stared at her for a moment before Kyouhei asked Mikado, "What are you asking about the Dollars for, anyway?"

Mikado was starting to get too greedy for information too quickly. It wouldn't be any fun for Katerina if his position was found out so quickly so she decided to do him a favour.

"You're so cute when you're scared Mikado," she said as she took his cheeks and stretched them out while cooing at his face.

"Oh Katerina, can you squish our cheeks?" Erika and Walker said in unison as Kyouhei continued talking about the Dollars. Kat took them each by a cheek and squished them together so they banged heads. "That's what you guys get for being perverts!" She exclaimed before walking off, Mikado and Masaomi close behind her.

Mikado and Kat had watched on for the next half hour as Masaomi tried and failed to pick up girls. Kat didn't think this was genuine, it was like he put on this facade for her and Mikado because that was what Mikado expected from his childhood friend.

"I know what you're thinking. Ride the train and you're treated like a perv! Walk a block and hawkers scam ya. Stay home too much and the neighbors strike! And then the Dollars and the Headless Rider... Tokyo is a concrete jungle! But! That said! It is a challenge that you must overcome! You wanted to be a real Ikebukurian, didn't you? Then accept your challenge, Mikado Ryugamine! Hey, and no matter what happens, I've always got your back."

Kat had smirked at his performance, he had Mikado fooled but Kat was smarter than the facade. She could see it in his eyes that he had been to the dark underbelly of the city and had seen things. She knew that look because it was the same look her parents eyes held after they left Russia.

Despite Masaomi's failures, he kept trying to talk to the girls roaming Ikebukuro when the trio stumbled upon another trio known as the 'Ganguros' consisting of Youko, Haruko and Akie bullying the girl that had stolen Kat's chance at getting involved earlier that day, Anri Sonohara.

The girls weren't very convincing as bullies to Kat but they seemed to have struck a nerve in Anri. They threatened her some more before one of the trios boyfriend stepped out, he was an ugly man wearing baggy clothes and grabbing his crotch. It was people like this who disgusted Kat to no end.

"Yo! Wassup dawg? What do you say I ring up my Dollars brothers? Get my homies here and I'll show you how I roll." She had burst into a fit of laughter before even realising it, having to turn around the corner not to be seen by them.

Masaomi smirked at her, "you gotta love a guy who goes for the classics." Kat nodded, still laughing before she was interrupted by that sly voice she had heard not that long ago, only this time it wasn't directed towards her.

"Bullies, huh? You wanna save the day, don't ya?" Izaya asked Mikado and from looking at the expression on his face, Kat knew that was exactly what Mikado had been wanting to do. Izaya put his arm around Mikado, ignoring his protests and dragged him right up to the bullies.

"What, Dork?" Youko asked, annoyed.

"Well, you see, I..." Mikado's reply was cut off by Izaya walking with a smirk up to them, "bullying people is lame. It's pathetic really."

"What are you? Like 40? Butt out." Haruko glared up at him.

"Listen, it's not my problem if you lovely ladies get pommeled to death and die. I can knock your teeth down your throat, or you can bag on my age when I'm actually just 20, I don't care. You're in a class that's so beneath me, it doesn't matter."

"Huh?"

"Human beings are weak things. But, beating up chicks isn't really my shtick. So, I guess the next best thing I can do is take your precious cell phone, and smash it." During his sentence Youko's bag strap had broken and her belongings fell out with it, her pink cellphone and more make up. Izaya picked the cellphone up and dropped it to the ground again, repeatedly stomping on it while laughing hysterically. The trio of girls looked on, horrified, as the man did so while Kat held an eerie grin on her face.

Soon enough he had stopped, his face turning back to a serious one, "now I'm bored. I guess that's enough cellphone smashing for one day."

"H-Hiroshi!" Youko screeched out to get him to step in.

"Yo yo yo! You going down, fool." Hiroshi threatened and just as she had done before, Kat couldn't contain herself and let laughter take over her once again at her spot watching intently beside Masaomi.

Izaya's reaction to his threat seemed much the same to hers because he smirked and threw his arms up in the air doing a turn and saying, "violence? Ooh, that's so scary."

"Wha- You mother..." Hiroshi charged at him but the slender man managed to get away, Kat saw the glimmer of a knife and was wondering what would happen next as Hiroshi fell down onto his knees, his hood coming over his face.

The wind pushed his hood back.

Half of his hair was gone.

The ganguro girls ran off as he pleaded for them to come back.

"He didn't even know it was coming."

Kat looked to the side of her with her smirk still stuck to her face to see Masaomi's crestfallen expression, they both had the feeling something bad was about to happen and Izaya Orihara was the one setting it up. He didn't seem like the type to help someone out of coincidence, he seemed like a person who would only do something to entertain him. He was playing God and Kat knew it but she didn't dare speak about it as she knew this game would bring something more interesting to her life in the long run.
