Oh look... an update to Girl! ABout time right? I apologise, I haven't had that much time to write recently however rest assured I have not abandoned this story or any of my others... my plunnies are just fickle beasts...

"Oh, you're here," Shinra seems surprised.
"You… did tell me to come here…" I point out, mildly annoyed that he would forget that so quickly.
"Ah! Right, I knew that!" Shinra grins and lets me inside. So far there's him, me, Celty, Erika, Walker, Kadota and some…. Wow she's hot. I've never met her but she seems sort-of familiar. Erika looks up and grins.

"Oh! Shizu-chan is here~!" She says and everyone glances at me in worry. I think they think I'm going to throw something at her but the name doesn't actually bug me that much. I just act like it does if Izaya says it.
"Hey Erika…" I nod to the group but I can't take my eyes off the new chick.
"I don't think we've met before," She says suddenly. I gulp. She even sounds hot. Her voice is feminine but at a lower octave than most women have. It's sultry and sexual too.

"Oh… uh… H-Heiwajima Shizuo," I didn't mean to stammer, but I'm not good with chicks! Especially hot ones! Especially since they go running in the other direction screaming most of the time.
"Nakura Kanra~, nice to meet you Heiwajima-san," She smiled pleasantly and I gulp again.
"You can call me Shizuo…" No one calls me Heiwajima-san since no one has that much respect for me. It is a little weird to be honest.

"Shizuo-kun then~, you may call me Kanra~" She says and I just nod. Shinra seems to relax though I don't know why he was tense in the first place. He knows I don't hit women.
"Kanra is… an old friend of mine… from junior high in fact but she went to a different high school than we did," Shinra says. Again he sounds nervous for some reason but I just shrug and sit down in the living room. Erika is wearing a red dress like Kanra is but they look very different. Kanra's figure seems almost familiar though… in a good way. She reminds me of that stupid flea but since she's a woman it's okay to be completely attracted to her. Right?

"So, Heiw-I mean, Shizuo-kun, what do you do~?" She asks leaning over with a small smile and Shinra seems to stiffen again.
"Um… I'm a bodyguard…" I thought everyone knew that part?
"I see~! Sounds dangerous!"
"N-not really… I'm kinda… I'm really strong…" Erika pouts. She seems upset that I'm talking to Kanra. Shinra smiles though and seems to decide it is safe before leaving the room.

"What's wrong Erika?" Walker asks and she mumbles something but I only catch a few words. Namely something about my sexual orientation and something called 'Shizaya'. Kanra blushes so I think she heard it too but I roll my eyes. I know what Erika's talking about, I did hear her that one time. She said I had the hots for Izaya when I said I wanted to kill him… she's right. That's exactly why I have to kill him too. I'm not gay, he just… I don't know.

"Erika… it's never going to happen, get over it," Kadota grumbles.
"But Dotachiiiiin!"
"It won't, and don't call me that!"
"Well if Shinra-san had just invited him then-"
"-Then I would be breaking the apartment trying to kill him," I finish her sentence for her. Shinra was right not to invite the flea. Rotten Bastard would completely defeat the purpose of New Year's being stress and anger free.

"So, anyone else expected?" Walker asks and Shinra nods.
"Yeah, Celty invited some of her friends too, they should be here any-" The doorbell rings while he's talking. Shinra lets them in but they only look to be in high school. They seem… mildly familiar anyways.
"Hello everyone~! I was thinking we start the New Year off right… by picking up chicks!" The blonde one declares, his arm flailing wildly. Both his companions sigh softly and shake their heads. This behaviour must be typical since they seem pretty used to it by now.

"Why, here is a pretty one now~! I do not believe we have met my fair lady~! I am Kida Masaomi! You may call me destiny however~!" He takes her hand and I frown.
"Really now? Destiny? Not much of a believer in the whole 'fate thing', thank you though Kida-kun," She chimes pleasantly but her smile is almost vicious. I think I like her.

"Ah~? Well may I at least enquire as to the name of this divine flower?" He asks next and she laughs. It's actually a nice sound.
"Nakura, Kanra. Pleasure to meet you Kida-kun," She says. He drops her hand and goes pale and to this she tilts her head to one side, a look of polite confusion on it.
"Something wrong?" She asks gently.
"Ah… Masaomi, I don't think that's the same Kanra…" The black-haired boy says.
"Probably not…" The quiet girl agrees, then she turns to me. "Ah, it's good to see you again Heiwajima-san." Huh?

"Do I know you?" Shinra's palm meets his face and Celty shakes her helmet sadly.
"She's Sonohara Anri-chan Shizuo! You've met her three times!" Shinra says in exasperation.
"I have? Oh… sorry," I don't remember faces and names easily. Not unless they really resonate. I'm not ever going to forget Kanra for instance. And I've never forgotten Izaya.

"N-no, it's fine!" She insists.
"Ah, Ryugamine Mikado," The other introduces himself to me and Kanra who blinks.
"Sounds like an air conditioner…" She says suddenly and I try not to laugh.
"Ah! N-no that's not the same!" He insists and I can help it.
"No, she's right, it does sound the same!"
"Ah! See? Shizuo-kun agrees~!" Kida relaxes immensely when he hears her call me Shizuo, as if he were expecting her to call me something else.

"Right! Soba noodles and sake all around I think!" Shinra says cheerfully.
"Not all around Shinra-kun, those three are still in high school, right~?" Kanra smiles pleasantly at him and he frowns.
"Oh right…"
"Really… and you think I'm forgetful?" I grumble. Annoying doctor.

"Well then, I suppose just Soba noodles all around and sake for the adults… better?"
"Much," Kanra agrees with him though she stands up to help him.
"Kanra-chan! Sit down! Get to know Shizuo-kun a little better, Celty can help me with this," Shinra assures her. I'm privately glad. I like her, she smells nice, looks nice… hell I even feel like I know her for some reason…

"Oh… if you insist Kishitani-sensei~" Her 'sensei' seems almost sarcastic though I'm not sure why.
"Ah…hah… well, right then…" Shinra rushes out of the room much to Kadota's amusement and Celty shakes her helmet again before following the doctor out.
"So~! You three are in high school, huh?" She's looking at the air-conditioner kid and his hyperactive friend and the girl I've apparently met before. Yup, already forgot their names… again apparently.

"Yes, we'll be in second year this spring," Air conditioner replies, smiling pleasantly.
"Just think Mikado! All the chicks will fall for us for sure now since we'll be a year older and more eligible~! Ooh hoo, I can't wait~!" Hyperactive teen is annoying. I need a smoke.
"Masaomi… we're not going to be any more attractive to them because we moved ahead a grade…" Air conditioner points out.

"U-Um… so tell us about what you do Kanra-san?" Girl-I've-met-before is too long. I'm gonna go with shy girl. Shy girl is looking at Kanra curiously and Hyperactive and Air Conditioner both look too. So do Erika, Walker, Kadota and Saburo for that matter. Seems none of us know much about her except Shinra.

"Me? Oh, nothing extravagant~! I'm a psychologist," Wow, sexy and smart then… Yeah, I could definitely forget the flea at this rate.
"So is it the psychiatrist or the psychologist that gives medication?" Hyperactive asks, looking eager.
"The psychiatrist ah… Kida-kun was it?" He grins and nods once.
"Got it" He hands Air conditioner five hundred yen.

"Must be hard work," Kyohei says with a solemn look and Kanra smiles at him.
"It can be, but it has its rewards too. When a patient is able to stand on their own again it makes all the hard parts worth it," He blinks and smiles. Hyperactive seems to have relaxed properly now and Shinra and Celty come back in. Damn, I don't normally drink. I'm a cheap drunk, weird right? But I am.

"Alright so with only five minutes to go I think we can begin the festivities!" Shinra declares. Kanra seems nervous about her drink too.
"You okay?" I ask though Hyperactive is talking loudly to Kyohei and Walker and Erika seem to be trying to convert Air conditioner and Shy girl into anime fans –though Erika is also mentioning something about supporting true Yaoi love to Shy girl.

"Ah… yes, I just don't normally drink…" She smiles at me politely and I think my heart skips a beat.
"A-ah… me neither, it tastes bad…"
"Oh?" Her head tilts to the left side a little.
"I like sweet stuff mostly… and I usually drink milk or water"
"I see…. It isn't the taste so much for me, I just dislike being drunk. I get tipsy pretty quickly too," She fidgets a little, her cheeks turning the slightest shade of pink. She really is pretty.

"Ah… me too…"
"You do?" She seems surprised by that, "tall, strong guys like you normally have an excellent tolerance to alcohol."
"I don't…"
"Well then I-"
"SHIZU-CHAN!" I twitch a little but it's only Erika. Damn her I was actually making progress! I think…

"What is it?" I grumble but the others are all staring a little above me. Shinra seems to be pouting a bit.
"You're under mistletoe…" Air conditioner says matter-of-factly. Damn doctor… sure enough I look up and there it is.
"Right, well, I refuse a kiss… seeing as-" I was going to say seeing as no one would be interested anyways but Erika interrupts too quickly.
"-seeing as your secret lover isn't here!" If looks could kill she would be dead right now. Honestly she is damn lucky I don't hit women.

"Oh? Are you seeing someone Shizuo-san?" Kanra sounds almost disappointed by that news.
"What? No! She's making things up!" I insist.
"Oh… good~" She grins then and then, quite to my own surprise she leans in and kisses me. Right on the lips too.
