As promised to my friend, I wrote the first chapter to my Durarara fanfic! Since the poll ended in a tie between two of the four options, I had to improvise a little when I was writing this. I hope you all enjoy reading this chapter my readers!XD
Chapter One: Welcome to Ikebukuro
A boy with short silver hair and blood red eyes wearing a black T-shirt under a dark blue jacket, black jeans, and black and white sneakers walked out of a train station looking at a piece of paper. He took his eyes off the paper to see the busy streets before going back to the paper in his hand.
"I'm finally here." The boy muttered as he pocketed the paper and looked around before sighing. "Of course no one's here to meet me, I need to remember that James is unpacking everything right now." His eyes narrowed glaring at a random rock before kicking it. He took a deep breath and cupped his hands around his mouth. "Baka oyaji, get out of my life!" He got weird looks from passersby which he ignored and started to even out his breathing.
"What have we here?" The boy turned to the source of the voice to see a guy with a shaved head and piercings on his ears, lip, and nose wearing a yellow scarf around his neck, a green short sleeved shirt, brown pants, and white shoes.
He walked toward the silver haired boy leaning forward to be at eye level as he look at the silver haired boy from top to bottom. "Those look like pretty expensive threads your wearing." He placed a hand on the boys shoulder and looked him in the eye grinning. "So why don't you leave everything you have and I might consider not hurting you."
"My first day in this city and the first thing that happens to me is getting mugged?" The boy muttered sighing while shaking his head in disappointment. "And here I thought I could relax now that I'm away from that house." He grabbed the hand on his shoulder and squeezed it tightly making the owner of said hand to shout out in pain. He looked the boy in front of him who was shaking at the pain he was feeling of having his hand crushed, the silver haired boy looked the other guy in the eye. "If you know what's good for you, you'll leave and never bother me again." He let go of the hand and started walking away into an alleyway.
The guy gripped his hand growling as he ran after the silver haired boy. "Hey! Do you really think I'm going to let you off that easily?!" The silver haired boy ignored him and continued walking. "I'm with the Yellow Scarves, and I'm not going to let some nobody treat me like garbage!" He pulled out a pocket knife and charged straight at the boy. "You're dead!" He thrust the knife forward only for it to be caught by the silver haired boy who still had his back turned to the Yellow Scarves member who had a look of shock on his face.
"I warned you." The silver haired boy said in a low dangerous tone as he slowly turned to face the Yellow Scarves member. The Yellow Scarves member started to shake in fear when he saw the boy's blood red eyes seem to be glaring at his very soul as the said boy tightened his grip on the wrist he grabbed causing the owner to drop the knife in pain. "You know, if someone gives you a warning, it's best to heed it. If you don't…" He let his words hang in the air as he pulled the Yellow Scarves member towards him. A blood curdling scream was heard by many as the silver haired boy walked out of the alleyway with little specks of red on his jacket. "It'll cost you." He walked away when he saw a crowd gathering around the alleyway he was just in.
The boy lifted the collar of his jacket to stare at the specks of red on it. "Great, I better get to my new place before it's too late to get this off." He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his waist to hide the red specks as he continued to walk. A ringing was heard as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a dark blue cell phone before flicking it open to see who was calling. "It's Mina, wonder what she wants." He pressed the answer button and brought the cell to his ear. "Yes?"
"Shuichi-niisama!" A childish girls voice sounded from the other end. The voice was so loud that the now named Shuichi had to move his phone away from his ear.
"Mina, I can hear you just fine there's no need to yell." Shuichi said placing the phone by his ear.
"Hehe, sorry about that." The girl replied sheepishly. "But never mind that, why did you leave for Japan and didn't tell me anything?"
"How did you know I was in Japan?" Shuichi asked, the tone in his voice serious as he slowly raised his head. "No one should know where I am." When it was silent on the other end Suichi got to his feet to continue walking. "Mina, did you spy on me when I was packing and researching where I was going?"
"Uh, maybe?" The reply was more of a question than an answer with a nervous tone in her voice before sighing. "Yes."
"Mina." Shuichi let out an exasperated sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Please tell me you didn't tell oyaji where I am."
"Of course I didn't." Mina replied sounding offended. "If I told otou-sama, he would just go over there and you two would fight again."
"Good." Shuichi nodded even though he knew she couldn't see it. "And if he asks where I am, please tell oyaji that I said goodbye and I'm never coming back."
"But niisama!" Mina protested.
"No Mina, that damned oyaji has crossed the line this time." Shuichi said firmly as he passed by a russian sushi restaurant and accepted a flier from a dark skinned man giving him a slight bow. "This is the last time you'll hear from me so don't bother trying to contact me again. This is goodbye imouto." He flipped his phone shut before dropping it and slammed his foot on it shattering it to pieces.
"You sure that good idea?" The dark skinned man asked with a russian accent witnessing the whole thing.
"At least I won't be tracked through that phone anymore." Shuichi muttered as he picked up the shattered phone and threw it into a nearby trash can. Shuichi then looked to the man. "Excuse me, do you know where the nearest phone store is?"
"Of course." The man replied happily as Shuichi pulled out a map from his back pocket to show the man. "You just take this street and go three blocks right."
"Thank you." Shuichi folded the map and put it back in his pocket before bowing to the man and left in the direction the man pointed to.
Shuichi walked through the crowd staring at his new phone which was the same one he smashed and fiddled with it to make sure it was on and working.
"Good, now to just register James' number and let him know my new contact information." Shuichi mumbled as he did just that. He pocketed his new phone and decided to wander around to get a feel for the town he was in. 'Ikebukuro huh, looks like any other run of the mill city.' He saw a lot of thugs wearing yellow scarves. 'More of them huh? Didn't that guy from earlier say he was from a gang called the yellow scarves or something?' He shrugged and continued walking. 'Not that it's any of my business, these gangs can go kill each other for all I care.' It was at that moment that a woman wearing a black biker suit and a yellow and blue cat helmet riding a black motorbike with the lights off pass by him before taking a left turn. Shuichi stopped in his tracks staring in the direction of the biker. "Was that a…" He shook his head before he continued walking. "No way, why would one be here?"
The next day Shuichi stood in his room of a single window with a bed to the right of it, a desk and dresser to the left putting on a white button up shirt before reaching to his bed which had a blue tie and jacket and a black and red backpack on it. He picked up the tie and tried to tie it properly.
"Damn it, why can't I get this thing right?" Shuichi mutter in frustration as he removed his hands from the tie to see that it looks like a messed up bow and sighed before undoing it to try again. After five minutes of fumbling with the tie, Shuichi reached for the jacket and put it on before leaving his room to go downstairs and entered the dining room/kitchen. He walked to the fridge and opened it to see that it was empty except for a an entire shelf of red cans. "I should probably go grocery shopping soon." He took out a can and opened it before drinking its contents and stuck out his tongue after drinking it all with a face of disgust. "Blegh, disgusting. The stuff they add to these things really messes up the taste." He took another can and placed it in his backpack. "Stupid doctors, why couldn't they make the medicine flavorless?."
"You know it's not possible for that sir." Shuichi turned to the doorway to see a tall man in his forties with grey hair that's combed back and grey eyes wearing black trousers, a six-button double-breasted tailcoat, and a gray vest. He is also sporting a pair of white gloves. He placed his right hand over his heart a bowed. "Ohayogozaimasu, Shuichi-sama."
"Ohayo, James." Shuichi replied narrowing his eyes at the man. "I thought I told you to drop the "sama" many times already."
"My apologizes Shuichi-sama." James said causing Shuichi's eyebrow to twitch in irritation. "But as your personal butler, I must address you in the proper manner."
"You of all people should know how much I hate that "sama" crap." Shuichi said slinging his backpack on. "That's part of the reason I left that place." He walked past the man stopping at the front to put on his shoes. "Anyway, I'll be off to school now."
"Have a nice first day at school Shuichi-sama." James said as Shuichi walked out of the door.
Shuichi locked the door to the two story house before walking out of the gate and started walking. "New house, new school, and new life away from that baka oyaji." His eyes narrowed at the mention of his father. "That man gets on my nerves so much it makes me want to scream just thinking about him." He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath before cupping his hands around his mouth. "DROP DEAD BAKA OYAJI!" Shuichi let out a content sigh as he opened his eyes with a grin on his face. "Now that I got that out of my system, I better hurry before I'm late to my first day of school."
Shuichi walked through the halls of Reira Academy looking for his class when he finally found it and walked in. He got a few stares before they returned to their business as he took the seat closest to the door. Shuichi placed his backpack by his desk and pulled out his phone to check the time.
"There's still time before class starts." Shuichi muttered pocketing his phone. "If I knew that I was going to be here this early, I would've brought a book to read." He got up and left the classroom. "Guess I'll look around to learn the layout of the building." He started walking through the halls memorizing where everything was when he felt his phone vibrate and pulled it out flipping it open. After reading what was in the message, he flipped his phone shut and pocketed it before walking back to his class room. "They don't have to remind me that I need to submit my papers to make my living here official."
Shuichi sat in his desk with his chin resting on the palm of his left hand as students got up and introduced themselves. When it was his turn he got up and looked around memorizing his classmates face.
"Tepes Shuichi, yoroshiku." He greeted with a small bow before sitting back down. He rested his chin on the palm of his hand tuning out what was being said from the other students.
"Ne, Tepes-san." Shuichi looked up from his text book to see a few girls were surrounding his desk. The girl in the middle was the one who spoke. "I haven't seen you in Ikebukuro before, did you just move here?"
"That's right." Shuichi replied nodding politely. 'The only thing that damned oyaji ever taught me was to always be nice to girls and be a gentleman.' He closed his text book to give the girls his full attention. "I just arrived last night from Romania."
"Romania?" Another girl asked. "That's really far, why did you move here to Japan?"
Shuichi just smiled placing his index finger against his lips and winked. "Sorry ladies, but that's a secret." It had the desired effect making the girls squeal. Shuichi cringed at the high pitched squealing. 'You'd think I'd be used to this by now.'
"Is it okay if we ask you a few questions?" A blond haired girl asked. "We all want to get to know you better." The other girls nodded in agreement.
Shuichi just kept smiling as he ignored the heated glares he was getting from the male students in the classroom. "Sure, ask away."
"When's your birthday and what's your sign?" A brunet asked.
"It's August 27th so I guess that makes me a Virgo." Shuichi replied.
"Do you have any hobbies?" A red haired girl asked next.
"Good question." Shuichi had a thoughtful look before replying. "I guess my hobbies are researching legends of different countries and moon gazing."
"What's your type?" A blonde asked.
"I'm not really looking for a girlfriend at the moment." Shuichi gave the girls an apologetic smile when he saw their disappointed faces. "But I look forward to getting to know you all." With that, the girls went back to their own desks leaving Shuichi alone to let his thoughts roam as he brought his phone and flipped it open to look through the web. 'What was oyaji thinking bringing that up during a lesson?' His eyes narrowed and gritted his teeth. 'If he thinks he can control how I live my life then he has another thing coming.' He snapped his phone shut as he got up and left the classroom to walk through the halls with his hands in his pocket. 'I wonder if they found that Yellow Scarves guy yet.' He snorted at that thought. 'Definitely considering how loud he screamed, no doubt half the city heard him.'
"I'm home!" Shuichi called walking into his house slipping his shoes off and lined them up.
"Welcome home Shuichi-sama." James greeted walking out of the kitchen. "I took the liberty of going grocery shopping while you were in school."
"That's good, I was planning to go shopping after changing out of my uniform." Shuichi said slipping his backpack off and unzipping it to pull out the red can. "Turns out I didn't need this today."
"It might be best to keep one with you just in case Shuichi-sama." James suggested taking the can and placing it in the fridge. "You never know when the first dose will wear off and you might-"
"I'm well aware of that." Shuichi cut him off taking off his jacket to let it hang on one of the chairs surrounding a table before sitting down resting his chin on the palm of his hand. "We both know that I must keep taking that medicine." He grimaced staring at the fridge. "No matter how disgusting it is." He reached into his backpack and pulled out a stack of papers. "I just remembered that I need to finish signing these papers and submit them to association by the end of today."
"I thought you might want to do that after you came back from school." James said reaching into one of his trouser pockets and pulled out a rubber stamp and red ink pad. "So I brought out your family's seal from one of the boxes."
"Arigatou." Shuichi said taking the items before pulling out a pen and started signing the papers. "I know this is standard procedure, but does the association really need me to sign all these?"
"Keep in mind that you requested that they keep your whereabouts a secret should your father ask them Shuichi-sama." James pointed out standing behind Shuichi as he signed the papers. "So naturally there would be more papers than necessary to sign."
"Yeah, you got a point." Shuichi admitted sighing signing the last paper before taking the rubber stamp coating it with fresh ink and stamping it on the paper lifting it to reveal a red circle with a big "T" in the center with leafless trees to the left and right of it. Putting the stamp down, Shuichi took the papers and handed them to James. "I take it you know where the Japan branch is right?"
"Of course" James bowed before taking the papers. "I will have these delivered in no time, you just head to bed and rest now Shuichi-sama." He then turned around and left the kitchen.
After Shuichi heard the front door shut, he got up and climbed up the stairs entering his room walking to his closet and opened it. He took off his uniform and changed into a pair of black pajamas before climbing under the sheets of his bed resting his head on his pillow staring at the ceiling. "Day one is officially over, wonder how well day two will go." He closed his eyes bringing the sheet up over his chest rolling to the side. "Only time will tell." With that said, Shuichi fell into a dreamless sleep.
