A/N: Hello all! This is my first post for Durarara! I watched all of the dubbed episodes of the show and I was left completely satisfied and happy. It's one of the best shows I've watched, so I thought I would give it a chance and upload a fanfic post about the anime :) More notes at the end, thanks!

CHAPTER 1: Mr. Stranger

"The strongest guy in Ikebukuro?" My ears perked with interest. My eyes slightly widened and curiosity took over. "Shizuo Heiwajima! He can pick up vending machines and throw them like a superhero or something! Don't forget street signs too. It's incredible how someone can even be physically capable of doing it! Oh! And he can literally punch someone into next week, if you know what I mean." She winked at me, then pouted. "But he's not my type. I love men and only men, but Shizuo Heiwajima isn't really my type. Not that I'm turned on by the major masculinity, but he gets so angry! When someone pisses him off, BOOM!" She emphasized the effect by dramatically clapping her hands together. "It's ridiculous how he's not able to control that temper. I've seen a few fights and believe me... he's something else."

The girl sitting across from me drinking her mango peach smoothie, she is my longtime friend: Kira Sato. Our friendship goes back as far as grade school. We went to the same elementary school, same for our middle school too. We attend Raira Academy as well. Kira mentioned next about how she saw him at our school while we were still in junior high. I only remember hearing about the altercations. I never actually witnessed seeing him in a fight. Maybe it was my timing? Who knows...

"And I doubt he's ever had a girlfriend! Maybe he wouldn't have much of a temper if he'd just get laid! Right?" I sighed and leaned against the chair. I couldn't believe she was gossiping, but then again I wasn't surprised. She was the gossip type.

"Hey! Kira!" I heard someone call my friends name. We turned our gaze towards a small group of kids that looked about our age, two boys and a girl. All three of them were wearing Raira school uniforms. The boy on the right had dark hair and held a shy expression while the other boy beside him with blonde hair was grinning from ear to ear. The girl had short black hair and I couldn't help but notice her breasts. They were large! I envied the girl for a moment, but then I shook my head and stomped all negative thoughts and feelings aside.

I'd rather have guys remember my face instead of my boobs, I thought.

"Oh, hi Masaomi! Hello, Anri. Who's this cutie?" She smiled flirtatiously at the brunette standing by the blonde kid.

"Uh, I-I... My name's M-Mikado Ryugamine." He spoke nervously. This Mikado kid seemed kinda cute, but too boyish for me. He wasn't really my type of guy I wanted to be involved it.

Kira smiled and held out her hand. Mikado took it and they shook, "Hi there! I'm Kira... and this is my friend Mayumi Suzuki!"

"Nice to meet you," I said. "So you kids go to Raira? We go there too! We're wearing the same uniforms."

Kira nodded, "I've seen you around school Masaomi, how are you?"

"I'm doing pretty swell!" He sat down and scooted closer next to Kira. "And how about you?"

"Same, you just came in time!"

"In time?" Mikado asked.

"Yup, Mayumi and I were just talking about the Dollars and about Shizuo Heiwajima!"

"That sounds exciting, why don't you tell me all about it." I watched the blonde kid hitting on Kira shamelessly.

A moment later I felt my phone go off in my schoolbag. When I looked for it I was secretly hoping it was my other friend who was messaging me. Kira wasn't my only friend here in Ikebukuro. I had some in real life, then I had a few others via the internet. The one that I was secretly into the most was a boy. A kid that went by the name of Nakura. It was just a coincidence that I met him in an online chat room. The different stuff we'd talk about... it felt good to let some of it out. It was amazing how I could be so comfortable telling a stranger about things I had never even told my best friend or even my mother. My mother and I were very close, and I couldn't tell her everything that was going on in my life. Just being close with her was enough. I reached out and grabbed my phone and opened it. As I suspected, I received a new message from Nakura himself. My heart started beating a bit more faster than usual. Why was that? Perhaps I was just thinking about it too much. Maybe I was thinking too much about actually meeting him and stuff.

Nakura: Hiya Suzu-chan! The message read. I smiled inwardly.

Suzu(that was my screen name): Hi! I was just thinking about you :) I hit the send button and waited.

Nakura: You're so sweet. I'm not sure what's sweeter... you or this piece of candy I'm eating.

I felt a warmth invade my body, the rush of color that went straight to my face. Was this guy flirting with me again?

"Great, well it was nice seeing you. You have my number Masaomi, so give me a call sometime." I didn't realize Kira's flirtation period ended until she waved her hand across my face. "Hey, we gotta get going. It's time to get home."

"Fine," I said softly. I was to busy typing back to him. Just a small number of flirtatiousness occurred during my conversation with Nakura, but nothing too extreme I guess. Everyone has their own definition of extreme.

Suzu: I don't think you should compare someone to a piece of candy. They're different, Nakura.

Nakura: So I can't call you sweet? I'm hurt.

Suzu: No no.. that's not what I meant!

Nakura: Oh.

Suzu: But you can call me sweet, if you want..

Nakura: Okay then. You are sweet Suzu-chan ;)

Suzu: Are you flirting with me again?

Nakura: Maybe.

Suzu: Ha, funny. Hey I'll talk to ya later. I'm on my way home.

Nakura: Alright then, have a safe trip.

I continued smiling as I held my phone close to my chest. Whether Nakura was real or not, I just simply enjoyed talking with someone. Maybe it was a good thing, talking to different people. I didn't care if I knew them in real life. It didn't matter to me.

He grinned as he watched his prey walk away from him. Izaya Orihara lowered his binoculars and chuckled to himself, "What a sweet naive little girl."

A/N: That was the first Chapter! I hope you guys liked it! I would very much love your reviews. Since this is my first with Durarara, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and all of that good stuff! Thank you for reading. More next time :)
