Summary: The story of an OC making a living in the ever so chaotic world of Durarara!. It's more than just an OC story!
Ikebukuro was a bustling city, that much was obvious. What wasn't as obvious was that the young teenager standing on the sidewalk in the center of the city was a new one. Their destination was known yet not. A piece of paper with an address on it, a letter for the person who lived there and the bag they carried and what was in it. Nothing to their name, which was-
"Watch where you going!" yelled a person. The teen was roughly shoved aside. They looked to the person who had just shoved past them. Really, they hadn't been in anyone's way since they got off their train. The teen had nothing going through their mind. Not a single thought. Not a single feeling through their body.
The teen started off down the street. They didn't really want to go to the given address. Then again, it was probably smart to at least figure out where said address was. The teen navigated their way through the endless crowd of humans. There were so many. A lot more than where they had originally come from. Something they would just have to get use to.
"Long time no see!" Called a deep voice not too far from where the teen stood. They looked up to see a tall black man wearing a strange outfit. It looked like a Japanese outfit yet a little on the American sailor suit side. "Come eat sushi!" He said, holding out a flyer. The teen took the flyer with a blank stare and looked at it. They began walking away and not long after their first steps, folded the paper and pocketed it.
After more hours of pointless wondering the teen decided to look for the address they were suppose to head to. One street after the other. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Still empty headed, the teen's common sense was to find a map somewhere and go from there. The easiest thing was to go into a store and buy. This is what was done. After purchasing a map the teen leaned against the side of a building and looked it over. One street name is all they needed. It took a while but finally the much needed street address was found. It was almost dark and the teen thought it best to get to the address before nightfall. They followed the map to the needed destination and found themselves in front of an apartment looking complex. A fairly nice one too, to say the least. The teen walked in and found the room number written on the paper. They stared at the door for a moment. Still, not a single thought being processed in what, their father had considered, one of the smartest minds in the world. The teen stretched their arm out and knocked on the door.

Izaya Orihara watched as a young teenager stood on the sidewalk of the center of Ikebukuro. He pulled away from his small binoculars and leaned back in the booth he occupied.
"A new human," He said to himself. "One I need to study up on."
He stood from his booth and left the small café. He was extremely proud of his superior sneaking around techniques. He knew Ikebukuro like the back of his hand, making spying even easier than it already was. Not to mention he knew nearly everything about everyone and involved them all in his little game he enjoyed playing.
He quietly followed behind the new teen with his usual smirk in place. Never faltering once. He kept a safe distance the entire time but nearly lost the teen at least three times. He was beginning to get severely annoyed. He cursed himself for almost losing something as simply as a human. He had been able to track one any other time and he wouldn't even be stalking them like he was with this kid! The thing was that this human was particularly boring. For a new one they didn't seem to have much of a care in the world. They would go to one place stand there and stare then disappear. Izaya supposed that what made this human so difficult to track was that he didn't know what kind of places they liked to go to.
Maybe if I get the kid's cell phone number I can trick them into trying to commit suicide.(1)Izaya thought to himself. They seem depressed. Even if they aren't, I could still pull it off.
After a few hours of what he would definitely call pointless wondering , he began to actually take in his surroundings. They near his favorite sushi shop.
"Hey, long time no see!" Called a deep voice.
"Ah, Simon!" Izaya said with a smile.
"Come eat sushi sometime!" Simon said.
"Ah, not today I'm afraid. I'm busy with work!" Izaya said shaking his head.
"We're having a sell on fatty tuna!" Simon protested. Izaya turned his head to locate the teen he was following. Once he found them he turned back to Simon.
"I'll really have to come back some other time! Right now I'm just swamped in work!" Izaya said with a forced smile. He really loved fatty tuna but because he was chasing this human he couldn't stop and get it. Wait, chasing? Ha ha! Never. Izaya was following them to get their information. Yeah, that's what was going on! He turned away from Simon, waved goodbye and ran to catch up with the mystery human.
Izaya was starting to let a frown slip into place. He was almost to the point of looking for Shizuo. Or at least looking out for Shizuo. That is, until the new kid walked into a store. Izaya got a good view of the store's entrance and waited. When he saw the teen walk out with a map his interest was piqued even more. His usual smile returned to his face as he watched them they study the map and find their destination. He began following them when they started down the street again. This time the teen appeared to be looking for a street in particular. He watched as they passed street after until finally finding the one they wanted.
Why this street? What are they looking for? Is someone waiting for them? Izaya listed off the questions in his head that he demand himself to get the answers to. When the teen stopped in front of an apartment Izaya recognized it to be the home of one of his friends from back in school. The teen stood outside the building and stared at it.
Why do they stare at things and never go inside the damn building!? Izaya asked himself in frustration. He needed to get an answer to that too he supposed. He watched as the teen walked into the building. He decided he would wait a while and see if they ever came back out. He was proud of himself once he figured out he had been waiting to see the teen for four hours. It was already midnight.
"I suppose they must be staying here." Izaya said to himself. "I'll find out more about you later." and with that he skipped off down the street. Literally.

The teen put down their arm after knocking and waited. When the door opened they were greeted with a brown haired man in glasses. He was a wearing a white lab coat and a confused expression.
"Hello, may I help you?" he asked the teen. The teen pulled out a piece of paper from their back pocket and handed it over to him. He took the paper and began reading. His face changed from confusion to normal to shock. "This isn't real! Where did you get this!?" He questioned in a panic. The teen reached around from behind the paper and poked the bottom of it. He quickly read it and pulled out his cell phone. He punched a few buttons and waited. The sound of the dial tone was emanating from the phones speaker.
"Are you serious!?" The man yelled into the phone. Another voice could be heard on the other end. It was hard to decipher what it was saying. The teen stood in the hallway waiting for the man to get off the phone. When he was finished with his phone call the man pocketed his phone and stepped aside.
"Please, come in." He said with a nervous tone. The teen walked in and took their shoes off by the door. The man looked at the paper then walked over to a small coffee table and set the note down on it. "My name is Shinra Kishitani. But I guess you already knew that." He said with an awkward smile. The teen nodded as a greeting and looked around the room. While they were looking another person walked into the room from down the hallway.
"Oh, um this Celty." Shinra introduced. The teen looked over to the new comer. She wore a skin tight suit, completely black. She didn't have a head though. The teen nodded their hello again and continued to look around the room. "Um, she doesn't have a head as you can see but she is still able to live. I suppose father told you didn't he." The teen nodded gave Celty a blank stare. Celty took out her phone and typed something on it. She held it up for Shinra to read.
"Who is this kid and why are they here?"
"This is Shindo Kishitani. They're living with us from now on." Shinra explained. The teen nodded.
"Who are they exactly?"
"Shindo is my little um…" Shinra began. He looked to the teen who simply stared back at him. "Uh, this is my younger sibling then."
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"I'm not sure…" Shinra looked at Shindo and smiled. "Father said he didn't know if you were a boy or a girl. Heh heh, um would you care to tell us?" Shindo looked to their side and shook their head in disappointment. "Okay, then. Um here I'll take your bag." Shindo handed their bag to Shinra and watched as he went down the hallway and placed the bag in a room.
"I'll give you a tour if you'd like." Shinra said from down the hallway. He walked back towards the living room and looked to Shindo for a reply. They shook their head and walked over to the giant window overlooking a decent part of the city.
Shindo looked down to see a man leaning against the tree not too far from the building.
You're not slick. Shindo thought to themselves. I knew you were following me.
~X~
Shindo woke up at the break of dawn. They sat up in their new bed and looked around their room. It was completely white aside from the light brown wooden desk against wall across from the bed and a dresser of the same color along the wall next to the door. Shindo looked to the window next their bed and saw a decent view of Ikebukuro. The streets were bare aside from some cars and trash.
Shindo stood from the bed and did a small stretch to easy the tight muscles in their body. They made their bed than changed into their outfit for the day. Once everything that they regularly did to get ready back at home was done, Shindo left their room and retreated to the kitchen. They thought they were the only ones awake but was quickly proven wrong at the sight in the kitchen. The woman Shindo met the day before was in the room making coffee. Shindo stood in doorway and watched silently.
Celty. Shindo thought. She lacks a head… Just as father said.
Celty turned around after hearing a small noise from the doorway of the kitchen. She saw the new teenager who had arrived at the apartment the day before standing in the doorway watching her. She took out her phone and typed a message.
"Good Morning." It read.
Shindo bowed slightly as their own version of a greeting. There was a small moment of silence before Celty typed out another message.
"Sorry if this offends you but do you mind telling me if you're a boy or girl?"
Shindo was quiet a moment before they answered in a quiet voice.
"Female. Don't tell Shinra." Shindo said.
"Why not?"
"It's best my own brother figure out what I am on his own."
"It might take a while."
"Don't tell him we talked."
"Why?"
"Then he'll want to talk."
"He talks a lot sometimes."
"Precisely."
Celty watched as Shindo walked to the giant window in the living room and peered out it. She walked over and typed out another message on her phone.
"Shinra is really your brother?"
Shindo nodded.
"Why are you here? Now of all times?"
Shindo looked for the paper her father had given to her to give to Shinra. She found it lying on the table not far from her and Celty. She walked over and picked it up.
"You can obviously see right?" She asked Celty. She held out the paper for her. Celty took it and read the scribbled writing on the paper. She nodded and placed it back on the table.
"So Shinra's father wanted you to live here?"
"Yes. He claims the Japanese education system would be better suit for me."
"I see. I'm sorry we had to ask your gender. It's your hair. It's very short."
"I know. I look exactly like Shinra."
Shindo and Celty were quiet for a moment. Celty was about to type something before they heard Shinra as he padded down the hall.
"Oh, good morning Celty, Shindo!" He said cheerfully. "I didn't think you'd be up this early."
Shindo shook her head then looked out the window in the main room.
"You're usually not? Or perhaps you're jetlagged?" he continued.
Shindo just shook her head and walked over to him. She held out the paper their father had sent with her and pointed to the word school.
"School? What about it? You wanna go see it?" Shinra asked her.
Shindo pointed to a word just a couple behind school, which was enroll.
"Oh, right! We should defiantly do that today!" Shinra said with a smile. "We'll go around noon!"
"Then you should hurry." Celty typed up. "It's nine thirty."
"Ah!" Shinra exclaimed as he hurried around his small home to get ready. Shindo and Celty both shook their heads as they watched.
When Shinra was finally ready he gave Celty a task to do and then headed out with Shindo. As they were walking Shinra asked Shindo question after question. If she answered them they would only be one word answers.
When they made it to the school Shindo was actually grateful. Shinra was annoying in all honesty and she couldn't stand his constant questioning. She couldn't blame him though. After all she hadn't exactly said anything about herself.
They headed through the main entrance and to the office where they would be getting Shindo signed up. They were able to get the meeting set up and get all the papers in a matter of minutes.
"Shindo," Said the principal. "Would you care to take a look around the school? It's fairly easy to get around in."
Shindo nodded in response and stood. She bowed then headed out the door.
"Where am I suppose to go now? Shindo asked herself. What if she got lost? Shinra didn't have her cell phone number. Who cared though. Shindo wondered up to the schools roof and looked at the ground below. She watched as people walked past the building below.
Unsuspecting that they're being watched. Shindo thought to herself. She didn't hear the school's lunch bell sound and continued watching the small people below.
Kida, Mikado and Anri made their way to the schools roof, along with a few other kids, and noticed Shindo standing by one of the far of fences.
"Hey who's that?" Mikado asked aloud.
"Huh, never seen 'em before." Kida said. "Guess we better go see huh?" He smiled and started heading over to Shindo.
"Wait! Masaomi! They're not even wearing a uniform they could be dangerous!" Mikado panicked as he ran to Kida's side.
"Oh calm down! Who can be so bad that they go to a school's roof and just stare? Besides, if they were a bad person someone would have stopped them before they made it up here!"
Kida, Mikado and Anri made their way over and stood a few steps away from Shindo. Mikado and Anri were too nervous to up and approach her so Kida did the job.
"Hey there!" He said loudly. Shindo turned and looked at the blonde boy. She nodded her head and turned back to the people below. "Huh? Hey what's up? Why're you here?"
"Masaomi don't be so rude!" Mikado scolded. He hurried up by Kida's side and bowed to Shindo. "I'm sorry he's so rude!"
Shindo shook her head and looked to the two. She looked over to Anri and nodded her acknowledgement. Anri jumped a little and nodded back.
"So, I take it you're not one for talking huh?" Kida tried. Shindo nodded. "Well at least tell us why you're here?" Shindo stayed quiet.
"Will you be attending here?" Mikado asked. Shindo nodded.
"Are you a dude or a chick?"
"Masaomi!"
Shindo blinked and looked to her right where she had seen Shinra and the principal walking over.
"Hey, there P!" Kida smiled. The principal frowned and turned to Shindo.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" He asked. Shindo nodded. "Good! You'll be very welcomed here! Your uniform will be ready tomorrow morning. You will start school this Monday."
"We still have three days to get to know each other!" Shinra smiled.
"Get to know each other?" Kida questioned aloud.
"We should be going." Shinra said. He held made a gesture as for Shindo to go ahead to the exit of the roof and he followed behind her.
"Hm," Kida hummed. "I wonder if that was a dude or a chick."
"Masaomi!" Mikado frowned.
"I think it was a boy." Anri said quietly.
"Well we'll find out when they get their uniform!" Kida smiled.
Author's Notes: I don't know where this is going either! :O Yeah so I didn't care enough to get into the whole Japanese school system or any of that :/ We'll just pretend some of it is like America school okay? Okay cool. So if there are things that are significantly off. Back up! I didn't research it for once!
Enjoy and review! :D
