Chapter 2: A Savior And An Ally
[Setting: a large city. It's like New York City, except no skyscrapers. Kiyo and Ryuko are inside a small tavern. Ryuko is talking to someone at a desk to find two open rooms. Kiyo is looking around, distracted by something new all the time]
Kiyo: Hey, Ryuko, I'm going out for a bit. [starting to leave]
Ryuko: No, stay here. I don't want you getting lost.
Kiyo: [rolling eyes] Psh, I'm not going to get lost.
Ryuko: You don't know that.
Kiyo: Come on, why not?
Ryuko: I already told you. Now, stay here.
Kiyo: You're my partner. You're SUPPOSED to listen to me.
Ryuko: I'm also older, meaning I have more authority.
Kiyo: [frustrated] You can't tell me what I can and can't do.
Ryuko: Yes, I can. You're staying here, and that's final.
Kiyo: [furious] YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER! YOU CAN'T ORDER ME AROUND!
[Kiyo storms out of the tavern. All Ryuko does is sigh]
[The camera cuts to see that Kiyo is in the middle of a park on a bench with her face in her knees]
Kiyo: [thinking] I cna't believe that I snapped like that. All he was doing was trying to protect me. And I yelled at him for it. I'm such a jerk sometimes.
Gang Leader: Hey, girlie! You lost?
[Kiyo's POV: You see some random guys wearing different casual outfits, except they are all wearing black wristbands]
Kiyo: [annoyed because they interrupted her sulking] Who are you supposed to be?
Gang Leader: No one in particular, but you still seem lost. How 'bout me and my boys show you around?
Kiyo: [gets up warily] Thanks, but no thanks. I know my way around.
Gang Member B: Don't lie, girly. Everyone knows that this is Shadows territory. You obviously don't.
Gang Leader: Now, why don't you come with us...[he reaches and grabs Kiyo's arm]
Kiyo: Don't touch me, slime! [punches leader in the face]
Gang Leader: You shouldn't have done that. [snaps fingers and all of the members pull out weapons]
Kiyo: [thinks] Crap, now what? I'm outnumbered. Too many goons to fight. Dang it! Where's Ryuko now that I need him?!
/??: Shadows? Here? Don't you guys rememberr that us Eagles took this from you last week?
