Ok welcome to my Durarara! fanfiction ^-^ this is a story that I've been thinking a lot about and one of the only reasons I guess its considered a fanfiction is because I used the characters from Durarara.

Chapter 1

She needed a new start. That's what this was. A new start. She didn't like to see it as running away, even though she knew it was. She had to get away though. Her life as well as many others was at stake because of her. If she didn't leave, who knows what could have happened.

Lily sat quietly in her train cabin, her feet propped up on the seat as her eyes watched the scenery go by. This was her fifth day traveling. Numerous flights, flight cancelations, and three train rides later, her she was. At least she was in Japan now. She was a long way from home, back in the U.S.A. where she lived in the Midwest. Wisconsin to be exact. Well, she lived there or in the Chicago area, depending on how she felt. If she wanted quiet she stayed in her cabin in Wisconsin. If she wanted the hustle and bustle, to just blend in, Chicago, Illinois it was. Lately though, is was never quiet, or just never seemed busy enough. Not since people found out what she was. That she was the cause of all the strange incidents.

Lily wasn't exactly normal. She was different. When she was a child, it was little things but as she hit her teenage years, things escaladed. She was powerful, and to say the least, dangerous. The worst part of it all though, was the blackouts. When she would do things and never remember. Yet she did it. She could remember clearly the one incident, where she set and animal testing facility on fire. There was no evidence of arson, or starters, no but there were witnesses that testified to seeing her shoot flames from her body. Her entire body lit up like this great fire and she walked right into the building. The said all the animals got out but over three hundred people were injured and hospitalized. Six of them dying in the fire. Yet, Lily had no recollection of the event itself. She knew about her abilities though. How she could control elements, the magic in her. Her numerous psychic abilities, and lately she found out something else. She was curious one night and went to a well known, tribal psychic who told her of her great powers. The older woman told her about the wolf soul in her body. She told Lily about how everyone has a true heart, as true soul and how hers was powerful. That she was a wolf at heart. Yet the elder woman was confused. She told Lily that the animal is more like a spirit guide, yet the wolf she sensed was actually part of Lily. That Lily herself was a wolf. Lily could remember the fear in her older woman's eyes as she said that Lily was nothing but trouble that this was demon magic. She started to screamed and tremble throwing holy water on her, yelling at her to leave, that may her soul rot in hell.

That was only one of the many times Lily received that reaction. That she was some demon hell spawn. Yet, Lily didn't understand. She didn't choose this. All these horrible things that were happening she didn't want it, but they happened. People started to recognize her and hatred built up against her. Even her own family thought she was a monster.

People started to hunt her. Police, government officials, her family even brought an exorcist into the house to rid her of the demon inside her. To no surprise nothing happened. Well…another black out happened, and when she woke up she found her hand around the priest's throat, holding him over the edge of a ten story building, police, firefighters and her family below, screaming for her to stop. She did. She remembered putting him down, and running, to her home, to take her things, money, and leave. She was nineteen at that time. For two years she lived on the run, in hiding until now at twenty one, she decided she had to leave. Not just the state, the country. She had to get as far away as possible. The first place to come to mind was Tokyo, Japan. A large city. She would just blend in. She would be able to hide.

So that's where it led her now. She sat quietly on the train; her long red hair tied back, her hazel eyes hidden behind closed eyes. She opened then though hearing the sot patter of rain on the window, and the sliding of her cabin door. She looked at the man standing in the doorway, "Can I help you?"

He stared at her, his features smooth, "I'm sorry to bother you...but...the people in my cabin were, getting a bit intimate…I…just needed somewhere to sit…" his eyes were soft and calm.

Lily looked at him, his face defined by his slight Asian features, yet he spoke almost clear English, "Sure…sit…" she turned away from him and looked out the window.

"Thank you Miss…" he moved into the cabin and shut the door, putting his bags down as he took a seat across from her, "You have no idea how grateful I am."

"Yeah, yeah, I hear you…your welcome," she kept her eyes on the window, looking up at the moon, her body humming with life from its life force.

They were both quiet in the cabin, but Lily could feel the tension coming from him. This bundle of nerves as she looked out the corner of her eye at him, seeing him tap his foot softly, his hand adjusting his shirt, then putting them on his knees. She could smell the sweat on his clammy hand hands. Why was he so nervous?

"S-so…" he cleared his throat, "Where are you heading to Miss?" he looked at her red hair and soft white skin and couldn't help but admire her.

"Tokyo."

"Oh…" he smiled, "Same here, going back home. Why are you going? Business or pleasure?"

"Neither," she kept her answers short as she slowly turned her head to look at him.

"Neither?" he tilted his head, "Then why? You don't look like you're from around here. Where are you from Miss?"

Lily looked at him more, staring into his green eyes, "Why so many questions Mr.…?" she turned her body towards him.

"Oh! Gin Takawa, sorry, probably seems weird, I…just wanted to make some conversation with you…you are?" he held his hand out and nervously, when she didn't take his hand, put it back on his lap.

Her eyes were studying him, searching him for any reason for her to distrust him. No. She couldn't do that. She had to remember this was a new start. No one knew her. Besides, she looked different. Her hair was long and her physical changes were there as well, as the three tattoos. She nodded a little, "Lily Valseco…and I'm moving to Tokyo. I needed something different to get away, and I figured this was the farthest place I could get. So here I am."

Gin smiled and laughed a little, "Sounds a little like your running from something."

Lily's face got serious as she looked at him, "No, I just need to get away. There comes a time when you need to branch out, to find answers. This was my time."

"Ah, I see, I see…so…where are you originally from Miss. Valseco?" he put his hands one on top of the other and looked at her with curious yet friendly eyes.

Lily felt some of the tension leave her body, "The US. Born in Wisconsin, but I commuted a lot down to Chicago and other places. So I had no permanent home."

"Oh wow, you're a long way from your family then huh?" he moved a little closer on the edge of his seat.

Lily shook her head, "My family is dead. I have no family."

Gin's eyes got wide as he lightly bowed his head, "My apologizes. I didn't know."

"Its fine," she waved his apology off, "No worries, it's not a big deal."

"Not a big deal? But…your family…all of them died? How is that not a big deal for you?" his brows furrowed in confusion.

"Its just not. What happened happened and I can't do anything about it. All that's left to do is move on. What's in the past stays in the past. That's just how it is," she crossed her legs and brushed a piece of hair out of her eyes.

"Wow…did it happen recently?" Gin asked.

"About two years ago. Like I said, it doesn't matter to me. My family and I weren't close," Lily glanced out the window as the train dipped into the subway train tunnels.

"Hmmm I suppose that would make it easier," he looked back up at her, "Is that one of the reasons you decided to leave?"

Lily nodded, "Like I said, I need a new start."

Gin nodded and looked out the window, "Looks like we'll be there soon."

Lily gave a slight nod, "Yeah looks like it."

"Miss. Valseco."

"Lily please…"she looked at his kind face as she watched him write something on a piece of paper and hand it to her. She looked at the paper, "What's this?"

Gin blushed a little and sat up straighter, "My number, email, and address. I figure if you ever need someone to show you around I could do it. I've lived in Tokyo my whole life."

Lily gave a light smiled as she put the paper in her pocket, "Thank you Gin that would be nice…" in all realities though she would probably never call him, but the gesture was kind none the less.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we will be stopping in the Tokyo platform in five minutes. Have your belongings together and enjoy your stay in Tokyo," chimed the woman's cheery voice over the speakers.

Lily rolled her eyes and looked at Gin, "I would hate to do that as a job," she stood up and started to gather her bags, looking over her shoulder when she felt a hand on her arm. Her body shaking seeing Gin's face.

"Thank you for your hospitality Lily. I enjoyed your company, really," he smiled and gave her arm a light squeeze.

At that moment thought, Lily felt him trust her and the images of his past flashed before her eyes. She saw the fire. His mother and father burning. The smell of their skin and the scream and pleas for help as he saved his younger brother and sister. Trying to go back in for his parents. The firefighters stopping him. She saw the burnt corpses of his parents being carried out. The funeral. The years of therapy, being placed into foster homes with his siblings.

"Lily?"

She shook her head and looked up at Gin, "Sorry, I…spaced out there."

He nodded and helped her stand up straight, "You alright?"

Lily nodded and shrugged her bags over her shoulder, "Just fine….thank you Gin," she looked at him for a moment before dashing out of the cabin to the now open station doors. Stepping out onto the platform. Her eyes looked around, seeing all the faces there. Some greeting loved ones, some getting ready to board the train. Lily slowly started to make her way into the crowd, getting bumped and shoved into different directions. So it was no surprise when she accidentally ran into someone, stumbling and dropping her bags.

"Shit!" she looked up at the dark haired boy and his honey blonde friend, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to run into you, people are just a bit crazy with the shoving…down…..here?" she stared at the blonde who was now crouched over looking at her straight in the face, "Apparently they don't know about personal space either…"

The blonde smiled, "Mikado, look at this! Your only here a few months and you have beautiful girls running into you left and right! So lucky!" the blonde reached down and pulled Lily up so she was standing.

Lily looked at the dark haired boy, "Your name is Mikado?"

"His name is Mikado Ryugamine, and I'm Kida Masaomi!" Kida smiled and looked at Mikado.

Lily's eyes got wide as she started to pick up her bags, "Well my apologizes Mikado, and Kia. I didn't mean to run into you like that."

Kida nudged Mikado's arm, "Don't be shy, and say something!"

Mikado could only stare though, his blue eyes watching here, "Its no problem at all miss."

"Yeah…again sorry!" Lily grabbed her last bag and took off.

"Wait don't go!" Kida raised his arm up, but brought it down slowly, groaning, "Mikado-kun, you need to learn not to scare off girls with your shyness."

"W-What?" Mikado looked over at his friend and stared confused.
