Well, this was just a [i]great[/i] way to start the day!

Keiko thought, as the earth violently heaved and shook beneath her feet. She, had been walking right through Akiba when the earthquake had hit. The Red-head had been on her way to school, deciding to take a detour through the crowded streets of Akiba on her way there. She had wanted to see if there was anything worth buying - she needed a new cellphone which was what she was currently looking at. She had decided to come back later that afternoon by...borrowing, a bit of money from her father, but it looked like that plan was completely shot currently.

Currently, she was on the fourth floor of a building, trying to make her way down stairs. Being up so high was probably not exactly a good idea during an earthquake. Who knows how stable this rickety looking building was? It could fall out from under her feet any second, and then she'd be a little red paste all over the street below....hah, like that would happen. She'd walk out of here - well, run, and everything would be fine. She just had to wait for the earthquake to settle a bit before heading down stairs. Like hell she was taking an elevator in this situation. She had seen too many movies where elevators failed. She already didn't like them enough, but in an earthquake? Hah. Like that was going to happen.

Soon, the first of the quakes had settled, and with a relieved sigh, Keiko stood shakily stood from where she had tripped and fell when the first one had surprised her, gently rubbing a sore spot on her forehead. She was glad no one saw that, and if they had they were too focused on the earthquake to say anything. [color=ec008c]"Oooh....I think i'm going home after this. School is probably going to be closed anyways..."[/color] She sighed to herself, grabbing her cap, which had fallen when she tripped.

After brushing a bit of dirt off the cap - can't have any smudges on her clothes, after all, she placed it back on her head and headed for the stairs, which, in this particular building was a separate section of the building, with tall glass windows running the entire height of the building, save for a few signs placed high up on the building. It was about this time, she had received a text on her phone, distracting her as she took it out of her pocket and opened it. Something called 'Cortensia' was on her phone, displaying a single message. Perhaps, if that had been the end of the earthquakes, she would have been fine, but as fate would have it, it seemed she was destined to have a dance with death.

[color=ec008c]"What...?"[/color] As she looked confusedly at the new app as she walked. It asked her if it believed her death was inevitable. This had to be some sort of...joke, right? However, as she thought - another earthquake hit, causing the distracted Keiko to misstep, and send herself tumbling down the stairs. For a moment, it seemed to her as time slowed. The railing should have been enough to prevent her from falling off of the ledge, plus the glass beyond that, but either extreme bad luck, or fate seemed to want to end her miserable existence. A sign, that had been higher up on the building fell, taking a portion of the railing and glass with it.

Keiko yelled, her hands grasping for whatever they could find to hang on to as she slid over the edge of the building, her body now dangling from four stories up as she barely managed to hang onto the ledge with both of her hands. She swallowed hard as she came to terms with her situation. She really was about to die unless she could get herself back over the edge of the railing...but what the hell could she do? No way in hell was she strong enough to pull herself over. She looked at the street below, already seeing the destruction of the earthquakes, The sign that had fallen had crushed a car beneath her, and it looked like a few other people had been killed as it fell.

Like hell she was going to go out like this. That app on her phone...could it do something about this? Her grip wasn't going to last forever. Her phone had slid to the edge of the balcony when she had, just out of her reach. To get it...she was going to have to let go of the ledge with one of her hands, and make a grab for it. Well, she was likely dead either way, and she had no intention of dying here. If there was a slim chance - even a chance that seemed nonsensical, she was going to take it. If that app could prevent her death, then she'd do it.

With a deep breath, she extended her hand to her phone, her grip lasting just long enough to grab it before she couldn't hold herself up any longer. Staying as calm as she could possibly manage, as she fell she pressed the 'no' button. For a moment, it seemed like nothing had happened, that is until she felt herself suddenly stop falling. Something was holding onto her jacket, making little huffing noises as though it was trying to lift something heavy.

[color=0076a3]"Oooof. You're heavy lady!"[/color] A tiny voice called out. For a moment, Keiko was visibly stunned. Moreso at being called 'heavy' than at the sheer...absurdity of what she was looking at. She craned her head towards the sound of the voice, and was surprised at what she saw. What she saw, could only be described, as a Fairy. It was roughly child sized, wings flapping madly as it slowly lowered her towards the ground. After she was finally lowered to the ground - well lowered until the little creature seemed to lose all strength in its wings and drop her a few feet onto the ground. She landed with an muffled 'oomph' as she panted, regaining her breath, letting out a small laugh as she learned that she was, in fact, alive - at least until she sat up and turned to face her 'savoir' with a somewhat sour look. At least her purse was still relatively intact...she last a bit of makeup, but other than that the contents were secure.

[color=ec008c]"Hrmph. Calling a lady heavy is quite rude, pest."[/color] She replied, standing up as she dusted off her clothes again.

[color=0076a3]"Hey! I'm not a pest! I'm a Pixie! It sounds similar, but its totally different!"[/color] The pixie cried, with a little pout.

[color=ec008c]"Whatever."[/color] Keiko sighed. "[color=ec008c]I suppose I should thank you for saving me? You are related to that...Cortensia, app, aren't you?"[/color] She asked the pixie. Unfortunately, the Pixie didn't seem too keen on answering that just yet.

[color=0076a3]"Hmmm~ Maybe I'll tell you if you beat me~"[/color] She giggled playfully. Beat her?...did she mean fight her?

[color=ec008c]"And if I refuse?"[/color] She asked.

[color=0076a3]"Then I'll kill you and be free!"[/color] She giggled again. Well, that was all the motivation Keiko needed to fight. She had no idea how to fight anything other than with her charm or money, but she wasn't going to let some pest get the best of her. Without another warning, the Pixie attacked her. Damn it, that pest was fast! Small and fast, how was she supposed to defend against that? Well, at least she couldn't do any real damage, could she? She couldn't be [i]that[/i] strong.

Well, she was quickly proven wrong. The Pixie landed a solid blow on her mid section, easily knocking the wind out of her. Damn, how could she possibly do that in a single punch?! She knew she wasn't the most physically inclined people, but damn! Keiko attempted to grab her wings, and possibly do some sort of counter attack, but before she could do so, the Pixie flitted away out of her reach, giving her a solid sucker punch to the face. [color=0076a3]"You're gonna have to do better than that, smelly human!~"[/color] She giggled, sticking her tongue out at the Pixie as she flitted back away, out of harms reach.

That statement, made Keiko frown, a low snarl coming from her lips as she looked at the creature. Making fun of her, was she? Well, then she'd just have to do something else. With a confident smirk, she let go of her stomach which she had involuntarily clutched in pain when the Pixie struck her. [color=ec008c]"Tsk. Alright then, pest. Do your worst."[/color] She panted, still trying to catch her breath a bit. With another giggle, the Pixie obliged her request, before zipping towards her again. This time though, Keiko was prepared. As the fairy closed in on her, she swung her purse right at the creature, smacking it square in the face and sending it's flight path, right into a wall. [color=0076a3]"Owie!"[/color] It shouted. Before it could get up though, Keiko walked over, and grabbed the little creature by its wings, holding them together.

[color=ec008c]"Look here, creature. I don't know who or what you are, but listen closely, pest. You, are going to listen to me now. If you don't, then I'll just swat you like the fly you are, understand?"[/color] The fairy folded her tiny arms against her chest, giving her another pout. After a few moments of silence, she sighed. 

[color=0076a3]"Fiiiine. You look like you'll be fun to hang around anyways! Don't really have a name, so call me Pixie! Or Pix, if you're feeling affectionate~"[/color] She giggled. [color=0076a3]"But the contract has been established, I'll do your bidding now. Shall I call you mistress?"[/color] She playfully giggled. Keiko simply gave her a blank stare at the remark, causing her to sigh. [color=0076a3]"Welp, anyways, looks like I'm done here for now!"[/color]

[color=ec008c]"What about my question?"[/color] Keiko asked.

[color=0076a3]"No idea!"[/color] Pixie giggled, causing Keiko to let out a small gasp of disbelief. Before she could do anything though, the Pixie disappeared in a white light, disappearing with another little giggle before being gone completely.

...just what the hell had even just happened? With a sigh, she checked her purse. Looks like mostly everything was intact...she was surprised at how effective that smack had been. Either her purse was heavier than she thought it was, or she was stronger than she thought...she was going with the latter. With a sigh, she slung her purse back over her shoulder...what should she do?...she'd keep this to herself for now. Not until she had a better handle on the situation, anyways.

With a heavy sigh, the redhead started to walk, trying to find out what exactly just had happened. [/center]
