I know that this isn't Izaya, but I just couldn't get the idea for Kanra (fem. version of Izaya) out of my head. When I tried to type this up I just came up with nothing for Izaya, but with Kanra the possibilities were endless. This is my first fanfic, and I'm new to the site, so hopefully I did everything right.

I am thinking on going along the lines of Kanra getting hurt to protect someone, but she doesn't know why, yet. She got caught up in work and some old enemies came back, and that is when she knows she would do anything to keep them from getting to that person. Meanwhile, a major injury has affected her, and there may not be a cure. Kanra lives with the difficulties in silence, so the person she is protecting has no idea. But what happens when he stumbles across this?

This first chapter is just a little bit of a mindless introduction. Sorry for any typos I might have missed, my spell check is being a bit of a butt right now, and it is deciding to type things I'm not and replace stuff with weird random things...? So let me know if I can clear anything up, please read, comment, and so on! :3 Hopefully I can promise suspense and cool fights, I have some ideas in mind. .-. Well, thanks for reading!

Fire flashed in Kanra Orihara's ever blazing brown eyes as the vending machine she just sidestepped passed deliberately just a hair from her nose, her reflection casting her wicked grin back at her. She laughed, a sound that sent chills down a persons spine while at the same moment dazing them with some hidden beauty buried deep within the sound.

She heard the vending machine crash behind her, the crunch of metal ringing through the air. Kanra had only moved a fraction of an inch, her whole demeanor calm and relaxed as if this were an everyday occurrence. Which it was. This wasn't the first time she had dodged a vending machine, and it wasn't the first time she had waited until the last moment to do so. That was the way she played her game. She lived for the moments where she literally stared death in the face, laughing, with all the smug defiance and fiery attitude she had. Death was not her master, and Kanra taunted it each chance she got.

"KANRRAAAA!"

Still laughing, Kanra turned to her left and faced the source of the noise. Moments earlier she had been on her way to Russia Sushi, when she had come across someone in particular. Said person was the one responsible for the vending machine that now was embedded into a smoking parked car engine. Kanra saw an absolutely irritating, brainless x-bartender, Shizuo Hewajima. The acclaimed 'Strongest man of Ikebukuro,' her greatest rival. Kanra stood hardly three yards from him, staring him dead on in the eyes, her entire body language radiating a mocking smugness. Her eyes gave a dark look so sharp it could cut someone, daring the x-bartender to do something. The two of them were standing in the middle of the empty road, with only the occasional parked cars lining the sidewalks.

"Really Shizu-chan, here I am walking the streets of Ikebukuro, and the first thing you do is throw a vending machine at me the moment you make eye contact? Is that really a way to treat a lady~?" Kanra said, her voice ringing out as sharp as her glare. the harshness in her tone made the few onlookers flinch, but Kanra paid no mind to them. Her lovely humans were insignificant at this moment. She smirked, watching the blonde ball his hands in anger.

He is so easy to provoke.

"You, in no way, are any excuse for a lady, you black, soulless, parasite!" Shizuo yelled, picking up a recycling bin.

"Ah, poor Shizu-chan. You fail to realize that even as a 'black, soulless, parasite,' I am far more accepted than a monster such as yourself~." Kanra began, her words throwing fuel on the fire as Shizuo's temper rose. "Just look around for once, Shizu-chan! The entire city is terrified of you and your childish tantrums. People nearly shit themselves at the sight of you. You'll never be normal~. Accept it, I am practically adored when in comparison to y-" she effortlessly ducked the recycling bin that flew over her head as Shizuo ripped out the nearest street sign and started stomping towards her.

Kanra immediately became irritated, didn't want this slow witted monster taking one more step closer. Shizuo revolted her, yet his strength intrigued her. Kanra's eyes darkened and a cruel flash sparked across them. Her grin vanished and as she stood up straight, glaring coldly.

"In comparison to you, you foul protozoan." Kanra finished, her words dripping with ice.

She then flashed an evil smirk at the enraged x-bartender before spinning on her heels and sprinting down the street, with Shizuo following close behind.

Kanra grinned the entire walk to her office in Shinjiku. It was an expensive, spacious place on the top floor of the building, and it also happened to be her apartment. She didn't mind though. As one of the cities' most notorious underground informants, Kanra spent a lot of time observing her precious humans. Living there just meant she could do so 24/7 if she liked.

When she finally got to the top floor, Kanra got out her keys and un-locked the door to her apartment. She pushed the door open, flicking the lights on as soon as she stepped inside. She smiled and shut the door behind her, turning around to lock it. In her line of work, it didn't hurt to be a little paranoid. There was always some asshole with his panties in a twist because their pitiful lifestyles were altered, and they seemed to somehow get it in their minds that she was to blame.

Kanra walked around the bookcases, heading towards her desk as she slipped off her jacket. She tossed it on the back of the couch as she passed by. Kanra dropped her keys on the desk as she walked around it sitting heavily on the spinny chair and sighing. She drummed her nails on the desk before leaning forward and turning the computers on. Kanra's eyes wandered as the computer booted up, scanning the second level library and sitting room.

She stretched, feeling the slight effects of running away from the revolting protozoan. Kanra didn't know exactly what it was about Shizuo that repulsed her so much, and even more infuriatingly curious was why she was so intrigued by his skill.

Shizu-chan may look like he has shit for brains, but he does have at least some bit of brain cells in that empty skull. But he only uses it when he choses to remember that. One minute he is comparable to the missing link, the next he does something totally unexpected and occasionally, yet very rarely, clever. Ugh, infuriating and exiting at the same time.

Kanra leaned back in the chair, frowning. She hadn't had a chase like that in a while. Kanra decided she needed to get some more exercise. She was already in great shape, but she didn't want to risk slacking off. She dealt with a lot of shady people, so she needed to be ready for a fight. Though it wasn't like she'd ever fight without a trick or two up her sleeves to get her out in a sticky situation. One "secret" advantage she has was possesing incredible agility, speed, and accuracy; even though her appearance betrayed nothing of the hidden lethal power she possessed.

The computer pinged, and Kanra pulled the chair forward, logging in to catch up on what she had missed while she got Shizu-chan to cost Ikebukuro in the various things he threw at her, more than not missing her entirely...

Yes I changed it I absolutely hated the old version of this chapter. Hopefully it is a lot better now. Thanks for reading~!

Giving the first chap a re-read since I forgot what ur ff was even about. aside from the fact that it includes kanra. xD
so I might have already wrote a review. BUT! Im Anon. so it doesn't even matter :D

Breaks my heart every time when comments like those are thrown at Shizuo xD

Lol how does it scare you~?

:'D lol I just wanted to make sure that I didn't get reported or whatever for violence and language.

XD Thanks~! And don't worry, its kinda my fault for taking so long... lol

lol thanks just the same~!

Awww~! XD if that is the case, then it may be interesting to see your reaction to the final chapters~ although the only problem with that is your anon.

I wish I could visibly see your reactions-... great now I feel like a creeper. Oh wait XD never mind. Not a creeper. just Kanra XD

Oh dear god, she literally did it. I had talked to my good friend Aneki-senpai on the dollars, and was joking around about needing help getting info on what I missed because everything is clear in the writers point of view. I was teasing her because I mistook another dollar for her, and said that as punishment she should review every chapter with details about every thought and tell me what was clear and unclear.

ANEKI-SENPAI.

YOU DID NOT HAVE TO TAKE ME LITERALLY.

I THOUGHT I MADE IT CLEAR I WAS KIDDING.

YOU DEAR CHILD OF GOD.

I LITERALLY FACEPALMED.

Aneki 5/15/13 . chapter 1

Hey, hey! I liked the fact that you put the reader into the mind of Miss Kanra! But, I have to ask, how tall are you imagining her? Like, if you're 23 and weigh 115 lbs, you either have to be super short or so skinny it's unhealthy! :/ And muscle weighs a lot! Dang sorry this is kinda short and I KNOW YOU SAID TO BUT DEPTH INTO IT BUT IT IS A SHORT CHAPTER HHHHHHHHH GOMEN

thanks~! I am imagining Kanra about the same height as Izaya, and yes looking back I agree. *facepalm* that was just one of the many reasons I re-did this chapter. the review is fine~! Thanks so much~!
