Who: Daichi Shinagawa and Sogiita Gunha.
Where: Libra lobby.
Summary: Shinagawa goes looking for one idiot, but bumps into another.
Warnings: Swearing and guts.

[ No school worries. No university worries. Not being forced to deal with annoying as hell friends. Life in Hinoto-Ri is going pretty well for Shinagawa.

Sure, he misses his favourite MMORPG and he doesn't have his ~~gophers~~ underclassmen around to do shit for him and there's the occasional piece of demonic bullshit he has to turn a blind eye to...but those are small sacrifices for an otherwise quiet life.

A quiet NEET life.

A quiet NEET life of doing fuck all.

A quiet NEET life of doing fuck all that's about to end, all because Shinagawa is too busy thinking about hanging out with Adachi later today to actually watch where he's going. He bangs right into the stranger and their heads knock together with an unpleasant clack.

Shinagawa shoots one hand up to rub forehead, while he thrusts the other out towards the guy he just walked into. ]

Hey! Watch where yer goin', chuckle fuck!

[ What a charming first impression. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[That clack was all you, Shinigawa-kun. Gunha just takes a step back in surprise and doesn't even rub his head - but he does put his hands on his hips, though.]

Oh... my bad!

[He laughs quite a bit and hey is the air getting a bit prickly in here or is that nothing?]

You okay, kid?

[ Just what is this guy made of? That was like walking into a brick wall. And God damn it, that laughing is annoying. ]

Don't you "kid" me, ya kidder. I'm too old to be called a kid.

[ Setting his hilarious comment aside for the moment, for the first time he manages to get a good look at Gunha. He doesn't seem that much older than Shinagawa - so the kid thing was still not allowed - but it's his dress sense that really stands out. ]

What's with the goofy get up, you a tourist or somethin'?

[ What with that rising sun shirt. Not that this is even Japan anymore, but you know. That's sorta how tourists would dress. ]

Well... aren't well all tourists here? Apart from the... [What were they called again?] demons? Yeah, apart from those demons we're all tourists here, after all.

We just have to use our guts as a disposable camera and make some fond memories, yanno?

[Only now he decides to turn his attention to his new friends' first comment.]

You're too old to be called a kid? I guess you were using some un-youthful language; which, while it seems like it shows guts, actually shows a lack of guts - so be careful about that. What age would that make you, grampa-kun?

[ Leaves. ]

[ Nah, I'm just kidding.

Guts? Youth? Making fond memories? Oh, please.

Shinagawa has made his mind up. He's dealing with one of those energetic idiot types who doesn't listen to what comes out of their own mouths.

Well isn't that just fuckin' great. ]

Knock it off with the grampa stuff or I'll have your guts for garters.

[ Shinagawa sizes Gunha up, just to double check that he doesn't look older than himself. ]

I'm 18.

[Leaves]

[No honestly he's turning around and walking away.

Cya.]

[Or at least he was...

He's about 5 metres down the hall before he turns on his heads, kicks off the ground and comes hurtling towards ol' Yankee kun.]

[And with a somewhat predatory look in his eyes he swings his first forward and shouts out a typical Gunha phrase.]

AMAZING FAKE!

[Well, almost typical Gunha. There isn't the traditional explosions and air crushing ripple associated with his usual amazing punch, but there is the usual loud explosion sound, at least.

Shinagawa should be thankful (and maybe surprised) that Gunha managed to stop his fist in front of his stupid yankee face. ~~Because Gunha is surprised and thankful about that, too.~~

He lowers his hand leaving no damage at all, all he does is grin.]

[And all that leaves him with a single question;]

Do you think you have the guts to have my guts for garter belts?

[OH!]

Also; I'm 17! I guess that means you're not a kid.

[ What the absolute shitting fuck was that for? Even if Shinagawa didn't flinch away - he has some experience with being punched in the face and he has his pride as man, after all! - he's spazzing on the inside.

Not because he's scared of being hit, naw. He'd just forgotten what it was like to be surrounded by guys with hair trigger tempers. It has nothing to do with the speed this guy could move at. No sir.

...maybe he'd be a little scared if he knew what weird kinda shit Gunha could actually do. ]

Didn't anyone ever teach you not to run indoors, kid?

[ Didn't anyone ever teach him not to threaten to punch people he's only just met, either? ]

I was taught a lot of things but sometimes you've gotta run in the halls when guts are on the line.

[Just ask surgeons. Or prop makers.

Or Gunha.]

So... [and he carefully looks this guy up and down

up

and down

up

and down

and down without up but then back up]

Are you some kinda yankee or something? Swearing at a guy and talking about taking a guys guts out?

[ After this experience, he'll never ask Gunha anything again. ]

Close enough to one, yeah.

[ It would take years and years of character development and flashbacks to explain, so in other words just read the manga already!

Yer killin' me here, Chris. ]

You still didn't tell me what's up with the duds, dude.

It's the rising sun!

[He'll spare the smoke explosions only because the idea didn't strike him.]

So where was this Yankee-kun heading off to when he headbutted a guy a year younger than him?

And by the way, while it's fine to headbutt some people, you should always give them a heads up first or they could get hurt no matter how much guts they're packin' inside.

[ He knows what it is, God damn it! He wanted to know why someone would be caught dead dressed like that. ]

He was off to see a friend of his who's a year older than him, if you must know.

[ They're hanging out. You're not invited. Don't even ask. ]

An' what were you doin' takin' up valuable walkin' space in the middle of a lobby? Someone could get hurt if they bumped into you.
