【CANON BUMP: Mikado Ryugamine】《4/8?》dragons_peakMay 1 2011, 04:04:19 UTC
It was a sort of silent agreement between him and Anri not to speak about their secrets until Masaomi returned, whenever that happened to be. Their relationship couldn’t move forward without him. And his best friend’s disappearance weighed heavily on Mikado, as many people noticed that he wasn’t as upbeat as he used to be.
The beginning of the new school brought more interesting things, as a younger student by the name of Kuronuma Aoba approached Mikado and identified himself as a Dollars member, and also immediately pinned Mikado as one himself. He also asked for a tour of Ikebukuro since he had apparently just moved here and wasn’t familiar with the city. Though Mikado had only been here for about a year so far, he agreed to do it.
The tour of the city did not go over very well, though. He, Aoba, and Anri did get together with the intention of having a peaceful outing on the town, but their plans were interrupted when they were harassed by some gang members. They were able to escape, luckily, with the assistance of other Dollars members Kadota and his gang and van. Unfortunately though just as they thought they were safe, they were cornered again by another biker gang called Toramaru. While they did eventually manage to escape unharmed, Mikado was unable to give Aoba the tour of Ikebukuro.
Aside from that incident being just another “unusual” thing of the city, Mikado didn’t pay much mind to it. About a month later, this came back when he got a message from who he thought was his disappeared friend Masaomi, warning him to stay away from the Dollars for the next few days. Of course, this was a message from his best friend, and he couldn’t just ignore that advice. So when Aoba approached him again the next day asking for a redo of the Ikebukuro tour, he was ready to say no. …And then the kid started flirting with Anri in order for him to say yes, so he reluctantly agreed again.
When he returned home that evening, he got news that some rogue Dollars members had gone to Saitama and attacked the biker gang that was in Ikebukuro the previous month, Toramaru, and that Toramaru was back in town for revenge. Distressed that his own Dollars would do something like that, he began to research and gather information on the incident. He had stayed up literally all night doing this when he received a phone call from none other than Izaya. He talks with Mikado about the issues with the Dollars right now and how if he doesn’t want to get himself or Anri hurt, then all he has to do is turn off his phone an ignore the situation. He eventually lays it flat on him that Mikado’s not afraid of the Dollars causing trouble, but the ever-changing Dollars leaving him behind. Izaya then tells him that he always has friends to count on in situations like this, including himself. Mikado leaves that conversation thinking Izaya a nice person.
Then, there was a knock at his door-it was Aoba. He had come to ask him to meet him a bit earlier. He took Mikado to an abandoned factory and there were already others there that Aoba called his friends. He told Mikado everything-that not only were all of them Dollars members, they were the ones that attacked Toramaru, and that they’re all actually the original core group of the Blue Squares color gang, and oh, they want Mikado to be their leader.
However Mikado remembered Izaya’s words and Masaomi’s warning, and he hesitated. Aoba wasn’t going to let him leave, when suddenly Celty appeared out of the blue and rescues him. Since it was close to their meeting time for their Ikebukuro tour, she took him to their meeting spot and Anri was already there, with a littler girl named Akane. They were surrounded by yakuza, and not knowing that their objective was actually Akane, Mikado and Celty took them both and escaped.
