DRRR!!! {Miss.AlicexKarou}

"Well, lets get going. The early bird catches the worm.... I think that's how the saying goes..." said an unsure Shizuo.

Shizuo was right behind her and quickly put on his shoes. "Really? Cool."

"I kind of like the first part better. Doesn't sound so... violent." said Shizuo. He opened the door, "Ladies first."

After Hiromi went through the doorway, he followed after her, then closed and locked the door. He shoved his hands into his pockets and walked towards the elevator.

Karou arrived at her work place, slamming the door open and completely out of breath. "M-Ma-Mama, did....-gasp- I -gasp- get here in -gasp- time?" she asked a big woman with a stopwatch in her hand.

Mama, a well built big woman wearing a lot of eye-shadow and dark red lipstick wearing a tight kimono with a smoke pipe, looked at her stopwatch with her beady slit eyes, "... 10 seconds late! Karou! Run here faster next time!" she yelled, her voice ragged but feminine, kind of like an opera singers. A frequent random costumer spoke out to Mama, "Mama, give Karou a break! Maybe she had a man over last night!" A lot of men in the bar hollered to that, making Karou blush. "Be quiet you drunken monkeys!" yelled Mama, "Karou is too good for any one of you in here!"

Shizuo stepped into the open elevator, "The paintings are quite strange sometimes...."

Karou's blush moment left quickly and then started to yell, "Like I would ever take a man home! You trash!" After a few moments of angry swearing, Mama managed to get Karou into the locker room before she started to throw things; more particularly people.
Mama sighed and went out to the drunks, saying sorry half-heartedly while telling them to get the heck out of her parlor.

Shizuo nodded, "If you live here, you'd get used to the feeling." he said. He looked down at Hiromi and then looked away. "I'm sorry for being bad at conversing with you. The only girl I've talked to was Karou..... Actually, I don't even think she's a girl. More like a monster." he said.

Karou sneezed as she was putting her things away. "Well someone's talking crap about me." she said.

Shizuo grinned, "Really? Whew." Then after he heard the rest of what Hiromi was talking about he scratched his head, "A little mean? Well I guess from your prospective. I mean, I love Karou. She's the only person besides Kasuka who puts up with me and she takes me out of jail when I go in; she takes care of me and never asks for anything more besides not breaking things or grabbing something from the supermarket. She's the best sister I could ever ask for. She's more like a man though in many ways." he said. His face flushed into a bright red, "Ah craaaaaaaaap I'm spilling my guts to you."

Shizuo looked down at Hiromi, "The signs don't stay long."
