Disclaimer: I own neither Prince of Tennis Characters nor Durarara! Characters.
Wow, this is my very first fanfic. I mean, reading it sure is easy, but writing is just plain hard. You may have the perfect scenario in your head, but when you try to pen it down in words, it becomes a disaster. No wonder I never got a good grade for my essays. :x
This fanfic is mostly Prince of Tennis-based, Durarara! is mostly only focused on the first two chapters, they will not appear so much in the later chapters, except in chatroom scenes.
Chapter 1: Prologue
"Thanks for coming, please come by again." A Russian-accented voice greeted.
A girl zooms out of the Russian Sushi Restaurant which can only be found in a certain busy city of Ikebukuro.
She was pretty, with big lavender eyes and short blond hair. She looked like an exact copy of Hoshina Utau, with the exception that she had short hair reaching to the base of her neck. If you take a picture of Utau and replaced her two trademark ponytails, that would be how this particular young lady would look like.
She was sliding down the streets with roller blades, a smile attached to her face while humming a tune on the way. She was extremely happy. There was discount day at the Russian Sushi Restaurant that she came out from. Being a big fan of the unique(?) sushis which can only be found at that particular store, she took advantage of the sale and bought many boxes of them.
"BAM!" she jerked her head to the direction of the noise and winced when she saw a vending machine hurled up in the air.
She gave a sigh, "Not again, Shishou…"
She zoomed in that direction, only to see a street sign flying across the street, and was about to hit a guy who was scared stiff that he cannot even turn tail and run away. She increased her speed and caught the street sign, she twisted her legs slightly so as to turn the front of her roller blades to face another direction, in order to prevent herself from crashing into the fear-stricken man behind her with full speed together with the street sign. Although her roller blades were clearly unhappy at the force of the extra weight with the evidence of the loud screeching they gave by their interaction with the floor while trying to support their owner.
She sighed before dropping the street sign down, and looked up to face the blond man in a bartender suit directly in front of her with a blank look on her face.
The blond man looked a little stunned before turning his face to the right, with a clearly annoyed expression on his face, "Tch!" he muttered under his breath.
"Hello, Kasumi-chan." The blond girl looked to the left of the bartender. A guy in a smart looking suit was smiling and waving at her. He was wearing spectacles and had a considerably weird reggae hairstyle, with its length reaching to his neck.
She smiled at him, "Good afternoon, Tom-san. How is work today?"
"It's going fine. We were about to leave for our next job." He replied, still smiling. He then turned to the blond man. "Let's go, Shizuo. See you, Kasumi-chan." He gave her one last smile before turning and walking away, the blond man right behind him.
She suddenly remembered something, "Shishou! Will you be in time for dinner today?" She shouted after the two adults.
The blond man turned around to look at her, rubbing his chin and seem to be thinking hard for a while before replying, "Yup, I think I should be off of work by then." He then turned around and gave one small wave to her, before continuing to follow his companion.
She smiled and watched them turn into an alley before turning away and continued on her way home.
The blond man in a bartender suit with sunglasses is actually her older brother, Heiwajima Shizuo. Also known as the strongest man of Ikebukuro and is often dubbed a monster. He had inhuman strength, terrible anger management and often goes into violent fits. Despite that, Kasumi had always idolized him, calling him "Shishou" which means teacher, as she claimed to have learn a lot of things from him and had a great deal of respect for the said person. She even went to the point of actually attempting to lift up heavy things that most people normally can't with ease. And she never stopped despite the painful injuries and her brothers' disapprovals.
But thanks to that, she could now lift a vending machine up with ease, although she still breaks a limb and injured herself from time to time, due to her bones and muscles not being fully developed yet at the age of 15.
"I'm home!" Kasumi shouted into the supposedly empty apartment, due to the fact the Shizuo was still working. She was surprised when she heard a reply from the living room.
"Welcome back." greeted a handsome man with a blank expression sitting on the couch. Kasumi's face brightened, and tackled him into a hug.
"Kasuka-niisan! Welcome home! Why have you come back? Aren't you supposed to be overseas for work?" she asked, unable to hide the happiness written all over her face.
Heiwajima Kasuka is also her older brother, but he was younger than Shizuo, making him her second older brother. He works as a professional actor that goes by the name of Hanejima Yuuhei, and is extremely popular. However, due to work, he is almost always not at home. But despite that, Kasumi still loves her brother dearly and is still close to him as they trade emails or call each other every single day.
He still had that blank expression, but his eyes soften, "The overseas filming was finished early, and the next filming will be at Karuizawa next week. I will be travelling to several locations in a row and won't be home for quite a few months, so I thought I should come back and spend some time with you and niisan."
"Oh, is that so." She was disappointed that Kasuka will be away from home for such a long time again, but over the years, she had somehow gotten used to it and no longer try to make it apparent to her beloved brother, knowing that it would upset him as well.
"Looked what I bought!" She lifted the bag in her hand, waving it around with a delighted expression plastered on to her face. "Russian sushi is having a half-price sale today! So I bought many!"
Kasuka gave a small smile, "Then let's have it together with dinner later."
"Okay!" She skipped into the kitchen, placed the sushi in the fridge before grabbing a drink and joining her brother on the couch. They watched the TV until it was around 5, when she went into the kitchen again to prepare dinner.
First chapter done! Yay ~ ^^
For people who do not know, Hoshina Utau is a character from Shugo Chara.
And the mystery of Shizuo's and Kasumi's strength:
In Durarara, Shizuo's power is described as the naturally unlimited form of human strength and likened to "adrenaline power" that can give people superhuman strength in times of emergency. Most people can't wield this power at will due to a mechanism in the brain that will prevent them from doing so, telling them it will strain and hurt the body. And Shizuo's body, after years of abuse, managed to build up enough strength to withstand Shizuo's outbursts and effecively give him unlimited strength with no negative consequences to his wellbeing.
For Kasumi however, she does have the mechanism in her brain that prevents her from abusing her body. However, idolisation of her brother overpowers the hurt and pain. Hence, she also managed to build up strength and wield this power at will. Brother complex much, huh? XD
Oh, and the information on Shizuo's power is from wiki. Go read up on him if you like! :D
