akumano_trill) ; Misa Amane (

misamisa_dn)[[Open]]
What: Misa agreed to show Hijiri, who was new to Luceti, around.
When: Midday
Where: First to House #7, then who knows...
Summary: Misa meets Hijiri Minase, one of the new feathers. She agrees to show him around Luceti. She couldn't help it. It seemed like a fun idea.
Rating: No idea...

Misa closed and locked the door of House #50. Everyone else was out that day and not only Misa. It was sad that Misa hadn't seen Tifa in a very long while. Partly Misa's fault for rising so late in the morning. Once she was sure that the house was secured she walked towards House #7. At times like these, Misa wished that they had cars in Luceti. It was really inconvenient to go anywhere without transportation. She was really going to look forward to the time where she could ride even a bus again.

She was looking forward to showing him around. Hijiri reminded her a great deal of Duo. She was sure that they met already. Somehow though, she felt like maybe she should worry about those two teaming up. Hisoka seems to be the first person that they plan to target for their mischief. Her only relief was believing that Hijiri wouldn't go too far with his jokes.

It took some time, but Misa finally made it to House #7, where Hijiri and his friends were staying. She wondered how Hisoka was. That last time she saw him, he was certainly in a sour mood for a reason that he hadn't told her. She knocked carefully on the door. "Hello? Anyone home?"

"Well, not really nothing. There are grocery stores here too, but they are hardly that interesting," she admitted. "The fountain is pretty though. It is in the heart of the town I think."

She shook her head and smiled, reassuringly. "Misa doesn't mind. If Hijiri really wants to go there, Misa doesn't see any harm in just looking, right?"

"We'll go to the fountain and perhaps looks round at the shop windows till we reach it then maybe go walk around near the edge of the forest. Then we could either go to Duo's or the bakery for something to eat?"

"That sounds like a good plan. It sounds a lot better than Misa's no-plan strategy," she replied, feeling a little embarrassed. She was not making a very good tour guide at all. "Hijiri is better at this than Misa is."

"How long have you been here? You've been to more places than Misa has," she started walking forward again, going towards the direction of the fountain. "Hijiri goes around fast."

He laughed a bit. "I suppose I'm used to this sort of thing. When we go out, my friends usually leave it to me to decide what to do."

"Hm... a few days? I went to Duo's because I saw his announcement about the opening, then Hisoka took me to the bakery the other day." He followed after her, looking around at the buildings around them. "What about you? How long have you been here?"

"How nice. Hijiri makes the decisions?" Misa thought it was so impressive that Hijiri was able to make his own decisions at such a young age. The first thing Misa had ever decided for herself was to pursue a career in the media. The next was to help Kira with his pursuit of justice. Though, Misa was a little older than Hijiri probably. He sounded like he had been making decisions for quite some time. "Hijiri, if you don't mind, how old are you?"

"A few weeks," She answered. Misa never realized that she'd been gone from her world for so long. "But, Misa had never had someone to explore Luceti with, so Misa hadn't visited many places."

"Mn! There's no one else to make them for me since I'm an orphan and all so I've had to take care of myself. I don't mind. I'm sixteen."

Hijiri smiled. "So now we get to explore together! I could never sit still in any one place!"

Then something in one of the shop windows caught his eye and he ran over to it, eyes sparkling. "Misa! Misa! Look! A violin!"

"Eh? So Hijiri is younger than Misa," she said, amazed by the revelation. She mocked a pout. "Misa feels so old now." But then she suddenly giggled, showing that she didn't really mind.

"It still surprises me where you would get the energy." She touched her cheek and shook her head. "Misa can't keep up with you.

Misa followed Hijiri to a shop window. The first thing she noticed were the display of violins. "Yes! Wow! These are exactly what Hijiri is looking for, right?" She turned to watch him. She smiled, seeing him look like a little boy outside a candy shop. Eyes sparkling with excitement...it was contagious. "Let's go inside?"

He chuckled and winked at her. "Really? Well, I thought we were the same age when I first saw you~ Are you really, really old then~? You'll have to tell me your beauty secrets for managing to look so youthful~!"

"Growing boys have lots and lots of energy!! I'll slow down a bit for you then, Onee-chan~♥"

He was inside before she even finsihed her question and is soon examining the violins carefully one by one.

"Hmmm... the secrets to Misa's youth?" she pretended to think thoughtfully, then winked. "That... is definitely another of Misa's many secrets~"

She hadn't noticed that he was inside before she finished her sentence. After that, she shook her head and giggled then followed the younger boy inside.

Misa was a bigger fan of the pop culture, but she couldn't deny the elegance of the classical instrument. There was something about them that made Misa want to caress them. "They are so pretty," she whispered. "How do you choose, Hijiri?"

"Misa-nee-chan has so many secrets~"

"Mn?" He looked over at her, while slowly running his fingers over the violin in his hands. "Every violin is destined for a certain player. You just have to find one that feels right to you. Hm... this one feels about right and has lovely curves... Let's see how it sounds."

He tucked the violin under his chin and his expression turned more serious as he started playing a series of scales and chords on the instrument.

The second Hijiri started playing, Misa closed her eyes and simply listened to the way Hijiri handled the violin with expert ease. True that Hijiri was simply playing the scales, but there was no hesitancy when he handled it, making his skill quite apparent.

She smiled then sighed. Misa missed music. She hadn't heard anyone play music since arriving to Luceti. Now that she was, she realized that she took music ofr granted back home.

Her eyes remained closed until Hijiri finished. She was glad to help Hijiri find an instrument. Such talent would be such a waste if it was not made to flourish. "MmmmmMMm... it is beautiful, Hijiri."

Hijiri smiled as he noted Misa's reaction. The violin felt very familiar... and was very easily to handle... in fact it almost felt like...

He stopped playing for a moment and turned it over. There engraved in tiny script towards the bottom of the instrument was his family name - "Minase".

"This! This is my father's violin!" His eyes widened in shock. "B-b-but it was lost in the fire... h-how is this possible!?"

Misa opened her eyes the moment he stopped and stared at Hijiri, very confused. Why did he stop?

"Your father's real violin?" she asked, running to his side. She took a look at the engraved script and gasped. "It was in a fire?" Her eyes traveled around them. Luceti was getting scarier and scarier.

"They can bring back something that is gone?" She looked worriedly at Hijiri. "What are they? Misa is not going to believe that they are just scientists." How would they know what was in their hearts so well?

He looked down at it, tracing every line of it with his fingers. Yes, it felt exactly the same.

"Yes, or else a very, very good replica of it... I lost it in a fire... if they can really bring back the dead..." A chill ran up his spine. "I suppose it's not too surprising that they are bring back objects that are gone or at least make very good copies of them... perhaps it's part of their experiments to see how we'll react."

As creepy as it was, he found he couldn't let go of the violin though.

She tried to hide her real nervousness behind a smile. She was still uneasy about it but she couldn't show her nervousness to him. "But isn't this something good then? You'll get to play your dad's violin again!"

It was already apparent to her that Hijiri was not about to let go of his treasure. She was not about to do or say anything that would destroy his happiness. "Play something again for me, please?" she whispered.

"I want to hear how Hijiri plays, when he is serious..."

He smiled a bit. "Y-yeah, I guess that means I get it back... it's the only thing I have left from my parents, along with their wish for me to be a famous violinist."

He looked down at it, lost in thought then looked up at Misa's whispering. "Oh yeah, I'd promised I would play you something. Do you have any requests? I don't know if I'm familiar with the songs from your world but you can hum or sing it out for me and I'll be able to make up something."

"Eh?" He pouted a bit at that. "What do you mean by that~? I'm always serious~! Always!" He laughed, back to his normal self.

It as true that they came from different world but she decided to take a chance. Both their worlds didn't seem so different. "Misa enjoys watching people play on television. Misa went to the orchestra with her parents before," she explained. She felt a little sad when she thought about her parents. "Does Hijiri know Henryk Wieniawski? Misa loves the "Polonaise No. 1."

She was uncertain about her request. It was a challenging and complicated piece but it was so fun to listen to. It was a piece that one would like to listen to rising in the morning. Though, she did not understand why.

She laughed with him. "You know what Misa means! And how is Hijiri always serious? You're as bad as Duo when it comes to teasing!"

He noticed her sdaness and gently placed a hand on her shoulder with a soft smile to show that he understood. "Wieniawski's Polonaise No. 1? Sure, I know that. Just give me a moment to remember it."

He looked off in the distance for a moment, concentrating hard then started playing seriously, laughing a little when he fumbled on one of the notes since he was playing just from memory but quickly recovered, making it sound like his own twist to the piece rather than a mistake.

He winked. "I tease seriously~♥"

It was a complicated piece, so Misa didn't blame him for fumbling on a few notes. Hijiri was quick at recovering though. It was slightly different from what she remembered but she didn't mind. There was a little fun twist to it.

She found it a little odd that he'd even heard of the piece. That would mean that they have a Wieniawski in their world too. So, like she suspected recently. Their world were not so different. The difference was that their world probably didn't have a Death Note and her world had an absence of demons wanting to hunt them down.

Hijiri's playing was upbeat. She could certainly see why he excelled in playing. He made it obvius in his playing that he certainly enjoyed it.

Misa giggled. "Hijiri really is a little devil..." ♥

He ended his playing with small, dramatic flick of his wrist then bowed and laughed happily. "Was that similar to what you remember?"

"May~be~♥ Ah~ It feels great to be able to play again~!"

She nodded. "That was great!" she exclaimed and gave him a wink. "Maybe Hijiri will become Luceti's greatest violinist. That piece was very hard. Misa still doesn't know how violinist's fingers move so fast."

"Misa is happy to hear that. It always makes you happy to do something you like." She sighs and looks out the window. "Sometimes, Misa misses modeling. Misa enjoys wearing pretty clothes and looking and feeling pretty." She couldn't do it anymore though. She was content making clothes for Nill and making her look pretty.

"Well, I seem to be the only one here so far... though Duo did mention that a friend of his plays as well." He laughed and wriggled his fingers a bit. "My fingers are a bit sore now."

"Well, you can still do that here, can't you? You could start your own line of clothing or something."

Misa gasped. "They hurt? Misa is so sorry!" She hadn't realized that her selfish request would hurt him. She should have thought more about the piece much more. "I didn't want Hijiri to get hurt."

Misa laughed. Just that moment, Hijiri sounded so much like Duo. "You know, Hijiri. Duo recommended that Misa started a hair salon. Misa thought about it but it was hard without technology and Misa doesn't know how to get hair mouse," she sighed. "Though, Mias's own clothes line would sound like a lot of fun."

He gave her a reassuring smile. "It's fine, Misa-chan! They're just a bit tired. I should have done more warmup exercises before playing such a quick piece. They'll be fine! Don't worry!"

"It does sound like fun, doesn't it? I would help you with the sewing if I knew how... maybe I could be a model instead! You can teach me all about modelling!"

Misa laughed. "Hijiri wants to model? That would be fun. Misa is only still practicing how to make men's clothes. Misa doesn't have a mannequin for men yet. Maybe I should get one." So far, Misa had been secretly using Cloud's measurements for practice.

"If Hijiri is serious..." She sighed, wishing she could get a camera somehow. Since she couldn't be in front of the camera, she could take pictures of other people. "Modeling isn't very hard."
