Hi darrrrr! Like, Oh Em Geeeee, new fanfic again! Okay, don't hate me because I typed like that, I'm not that annoying or anything. I think. Anyways, here's a few things to keep in mind before you start reading:

1. Rated M because of language, not lemons. Although there may or may not be lemons in the future. Depends on how it goes.

2. I'm also going to have a lot of OC's. Why? Because i like OC's.

3. I'll probably have pairings with OC's. If you don't like it, then... don't read?

4. This is pure fanfic, although I may use parts from the original storyline.

5. The main character is an OC. If you don't like that, then again, don't read?

Anyways, that's about it! Enjoy~

What if?

Chapter 1: The beginning of the beginning

Three hours. Three hours of sitting in a stuffy car, being restrained by a seat belt. Three hours of staring out the dirty window and wondering what went wrong.

And that was exactly what Takami Tsukikami did as she rode in the car.

Where did her life go wrong?

She had a family of four. Her parents, her brother, and herself. it was a middle class family. The father was a lawyer, and the mother was a designer. They lived in a nice house. It wasn't big, but not exactly small. They had a small furry maltese named Snowy. They were happy, right?

"Takami-kun."

Takami blinked her big amber colored eyes for a few minutes. She turned to the girl sitting next to her in the car. "What is it, Wakana-chan?" she asked. The other girl frowned. "What do you think? You 've been sitting there and staring out the window for over an hour. I thought we were going to talk about video games and interesting things, like good ways to torture people! We used to talk about that a lot!" she said, a bit harshly. Takami hated that tone. It always made her feel like she did something wrong, even though she didn't do anything. "What am I supposed to say?" she grumbled. "I got kicked out of my house by my parents when I told them that I was sick of studying nonstop." "... If it helps, I think they were a bit too rough on you." Wakana said. "Gee, no kidding." Takami rolled her eyes. "Well, it's good my parents offered you a place, right?" Wakana said happily. "Yeah, I'm really grateful for Aunty and Uncle always being there for me." Takami said lazily. "I'm just a bit surprised that my parents actually said it was okay for me to move to Ikebukuro with you." "Well, we are family." Takami smiled back at her cousin. "Yeah, we're family." she repeated, stretching. "Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to take a nap. There's still two more hours before we get there." she turned around to face the window. "What? Hey, no, we're going to talk! About fun stuff!" Wakana said, poking her. "No, I'm going to sleep." Takami mumbled, twitching whenever Wakana's finger jabbed a sensitive spot. "Get up, get up!" Wakana said loudly, reaching over and stretching Takami's cheek. 'Or I'm gonna just pull on your cheek the whole way there!" "Wakana! Why can't you be more quiet like Takami-chan?" Aunt Rina called from the passenger seat. Takami silently laughed as Wakana frowned a little. "Yeah, be more emo and depressive like me, Wakana-chan." she said. Wakana replied by roughly twisting her cheek.

"Miiiiikaaaaadooooo~! Aaaaaaanriiiii~!" Masaomi sang his friends' names. "What is it, Masaomi?" Mikado asked. Anri merely looked at Masaomi silently. "Y'know, ever since the incident with Dollars and the Yellow Scarves, it's been really peaceful..." Masaomi said. "Dollars is a big group, and so was Yellow Scarves and the Saika army. And we've put them together!" he clapped his hands. "And now, we might even have the biggest gang in Ikebukuro!" "Um... but, we're not going to order them to go out of line or anything, right? I hope you remember that, Kida-kun..." Anri mumbled shyly. "Of course I remember, Anri!" Masaomi nodded vigorously. "But it's so weird, you know? Three high school friends, the leaders of the biggest gang in Ikebukuro! If the influence spreads, we might even be able to get to all of Tokyo!" he said loudly. "Masaomi! Don't say it out loud, you're attracting too much attention!" Mikado slapped his hand over his best friend's mouth. Anri cautiously looked around. "Phew! No one heard... I think." she sighed in relief. "Stop worrying, you wimp!" Masaomi gently slapped Mikado's hand away. Mikado merely frowned. They were lucky no one heard. "Aaaaah, I'm soooo looooonely!" Masaomi whined. "What are you talking about? We're right here." Mikado gave Masaomi a strange look. "Oh, you two. You're my best, best friends, and I love being with you, but..." He dramatically flipped his hair. "I need a girlfriend." "Don't you have one? You were walking with her yesterday, if I remember correctly." Anri said. "Ah, you mean Saki? we're just really, really, really, reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaally close friends!" Masaomi said, dancing around. Mikado and Anri shared a look. "But it looked like you two were together..." Anri pressed on. Masaomi grinned. "Nope! Just friends." He winked. "With benefits."

"Shinra, it's weird..." Celty typed into her laptop and let Shinra read the text. "I haven't been worried about my head for a while. But now... I feel like I should go look for it again." Shinra frowned. "Really, Celty? I thought we confirmed that... we didn't... need your head..." Shinra said, and Celty instantly punched him in the stomach. 'Ow! Celty! I thought we stopped that!" He wailed. "Sorry. It was on instinct." Celty apologized. Shinra sighed as he unsteadily straightened himself up. "Do you know why you're having this feeling?" he asked. "No. I just feel like my head is really, really important right now." Celty tapped her finger against the desk. "What if my head is in danger? What will I do?" she panicked. "Now, now. I'm sure everything will be alright." Shinra tried to assure the Durahan. "If only I could be sure of that.." Celty crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm going to start searching for my head again." "Whaaaat?" Shinra complained. "What about our romantic nights together?" "That can wait for another time!" Celty quickly tapped into the laptop. "But as for now, I'm going out!" She grabbed her helmet from the coffee table behind her and went off to get her motorcycle. Shinra sighed. 'Oh Celty, why does this have to happen again?" he shook his head. "I was so happy when you decided to forget about your head..."

Yes, yes, so that's all for now! And I'm already having trouble thinking up of another chapter, ;A;

So anyways, read and review like a good reader!

I'm outie~!
