"La la la~ La da dee da~" Hanako had her arms spread slightly as she skipped through the "Labyrinth," leaving Izaya's office. She had taken a beverage from his house and cracked the can open, some of the liquid inside falling to the ground in her step. She sips, and instantly stops. "YUCK! Sour again!" But she sips again, continuing her skip. This town was already really amusing to her, even after just one day! And the humans... she'd yet to meet many, but she was excited!

I give a loud sigh. Ugh, another day, another journey through this crazy 'Labyrinth'. Walking down one of the alleyways, I take out one of my ÄRM and start to toss it up and down. It had been six months since the day I got here, and every single day I travel around a good amount of Urbadelphia, keeping my eyes peeled and my ears working in hopes of gaining some sliver of information on Jack's whereabouts. Although I've defeated a countless amount of demons, and have gained a few nice ÄRM along the way, I have yet to encounter Jack and his lot again.
Continuing my walk, I stop short before coming around a corner at the sound of... something cracking. Soda, maybe? Followed quickly by a sipping noise and a girl shouting "Yuck, sour again!" Creeping around the corner, I watch as the girl begins to skip away. Hmm. What could a girl like that be doing back here of all places? Would it be safe to approach her? Eh, whatever. I've done much more rash things before I guess! Coming around the corner completely, I pick up my pace until I was closer to her, and matched her speed. "Umm, hey! I'm kinda surprised to see someone else back here... So, to be blunt, i'd like to know what's up if that's OK." I say with a smile. "Oh, and my name is Ginta by the way! Probably should have said that first..." I trail off with a nervous chuckle as I rest my hands behind my head, trying to show off some sort of peaceful notion.

"La la la-- La?" She turns around at the sound of some boy. Instantly, she begins snickering. Definitely a human. She was surprised that she didn't smell him earlier. "Hi, Ginta-kun! You can call me Hana-chan~ Everyone else does, you know!" One of her ribbons disappears, and one tail appears to start flicking around excitedly. "Plenty is up, though!"
She points to the sky. "Look, the sky. And-and the clouds! That one looks like a kitty cat~ And there's that airplane, OH! And those BIRDS! Look at them, Ginta-kun!" She begins giggling and falls down to her back, pointing repeatedly at the sky and pointing out different things.

"..." I stare at the girl for a few seconds, watching as she falls onto the ground laughing. As hard as I tried, I couldn't help but burst into laughter as well! "I guess, you're right, Hana-chan! All of those things really are up!" I call in between my laughter, flopping down next to Hanako. I began to point out more things with her, laughing almost all the while, before deciding to try asking her again.
"So, Hana-chan..." I start, finally calming my laughter down. "May I ask why you're out here? Are you coming from somewhere? Or are you lost?" I ask nonchalantly, hoping for a straighter answer this time around. Maybe i'm over thinking things... Maybe she's just out here looking for a place to be free, and stare at the skies... She seems like the kind of girl to do that. Heck, I should be doing this more often!

Hanako smiles at the blonde-haired boy, her tail beginning so slowly flick at his waist. She didn't care about hiding one or two. Apparently this town was weird enough that people didn't notice. She snickers, covering her mouth with her knuckles. "You can ask me why I'm out here. Yes, I am coming from somewhere. And it depends on what you mean by lost, you know. Do you mean like, confused? Or geographically? Because neither are the case!~" She was going to have fun with this boy, she could already tell.

"Good enough for me I guess!" I say with a laugh before rectifying the question. "So why are you out here Hana-chan? And where are you coming from?" I ask, trying to ignore Hanako's tail.
...
...
...
Wait, a tail?! I jump up, detaching a belt-loop chain ÄRM from my pants. "H-Hanko, is that YOUR tail?!" I ask in shock, ready to activate the ÄRM at any moment's notice. How did I miss that before?! Is... Is she a DEMON?!

"Hang on, Ginta-kun! Let me answer your other questions first!" Hanako giggles, letting her tail vanish as it disguised itself as a long red hair ribbon. "I'm out here because I am walking, and I'm coming from visiting my brother." She rolls over on her stomach so she is propping her head up on her palms, kicking her legs up and down. "Of course it's MY tail, silly. Where else would it come from? Yooou don't have a tail, right?" She closes her eyes and tilts her head in an innocent smile, her hair falling to reveal some sign of her scarring. "Wasn't it cute?"

"Uh... Um..." I babble, wondering what exactly just transpired. Are those... Scars on her face? And why is she so smiley about all of this..? What's going on?! "I suppose it was... Cute..." I murmur, turning away from her to hide my incredibly red face. "Hanako, are you... A demon? Like, attack people, attack places... steal people's friends kind of demon?" I manage to ask, despite how much I wanted to keep the question to myself. This girl seems so nice... Can she really be a demon?

Hanako begins snickering, turning herself into a cat. Of course, it had five fox tails, so it wasn't believable. But she turned into a black kitten and pounced on Ginta. "Of course not, silly! I am not a demon by your standards, nyan~" She pounces onto his other side, purring as she rubs her face into his chest. "Do I look like a demon to you, nyan~?"

I sigh. "I suppose I got a bit ahead of myself. You're definitely SOME sort of demon... But you're not the kind of demon i'm used to." I say, petting her. "I'm really sorry if I've offended you. I've just had some bad experiences with demons." I say, scratching her chin. "I hope you can forgive me..." I say, lying myself down flat again. I hope she doesn't kill me now that I have my guard down... Then again, it'd be my fault for trusting her.

Hanako purrs as he pets her, following up onto his stomach as he lays flat again. "I know, I know. Some demons are bad. But some are good... But who's to say either of those things exist anyway? Hehe~ Anyway, of course I can forgive you, nyan~" Giggling, she lays down flat, flicking her five tails onto his stomach and sides instinctively. "But only if you scratch behind my ears!" She purrs louder, burying her kitty face in his chest.

"If you insist!" I say with a laugh as I begin to scratch behind her ears. "How's that?" I ask, alternating ears before using my other hand to scratch both at the same time. "You're not bad at all!" I murmur aloud, without realizing it. "You kind of remind me of someone I knew on my first adventure... She was odd and seemed bad at first, but she turned out to be one of my strongest allies! Her name was Dorothy." I ramble on, continuing to scratch behind her ears.

"Ooohoohoo.... THAT is PURR-fect~" Hanako purrs, letting her body fully relax, tails patting him more rapidly. "Did I ever seeeem bad, Ginta-kun? That's so mean!" She looks up at him, her purple eyes not with the cat's slit. They were both relaxed and playful. "How could something this cute be bad?" She giggles and rolls off of him, taking her normal preferred form. She kept two tails out, as three of them made up her skirt. At least the frilly parts at the end that she liked so much. Her hair was void of ribbons now. "Such a somber boy. I wonder what demons got to you that made you worried about little ol' me~"

"Hey! I'm not always somber..." I replied, crossing my arms across my chest. "I mean, most of the time i'm in a better moods than everyone I know put together! But the last six months HAVE been kind of tough..."I said, voice getting softer. "After all, my first day here I was so happy that I was starting a new adventure, but then everything turned awful... This bad demon took away my first friend, sic'd his old lapdog monster guy on me, took away my second friend, and pretty much ruined every hope I had for having a good time in this world..." I finished with a heavy sigh.
"And so, I've been searching for the last six months, trying to get my friends back from those awful demons... And i'll keep going if I have to! I'm not gonna stop until I find and rescue the both of them!"

Hanako snickers, turning onto her back and laying her head on Ginta, fox ears sprouting from her head. "You know, you just met me, and spilled your life story. Hehe~" Her tails now hide back as the hair ribbons. "But you're interesting. And funny, you know!" She tilts her head back to look at him and grins big, exposing her canines in a smile. "I wanna help, too! Come on, let me help! Let me, let me, let me, let me, let met, LET ME~ Come on, Gin-taaan~" She started speaking really fast, and kicking her heels into the pavement excitedly.
