First of all this is my very first fanfic and I would like the characters that aren't mine to stay in character, that means there will be an OC.
At first I wanted to make a fic that's focus on Shizuo but I ended up bringing other characters into the spotlight. In the end I've decided that the story will be about my OC and it's interactions with the Durarara characters in Ikebukuro :P
Durarara belongs to Ryougo Narita
On a sunny afternoon a man in a bartender suit named Heiwajima Shizuo was sitting on a bench in South Ikebukuro Park. He had nothing to do in particular. Tom told him that their free until 7 pm for their next job so he was just sitting in the park waiting for the time to pass by.
Suddenly someone approached the man in a bartender suit who no one else would have approached. It was someone wearing a light blue hoody with long pants and a cap.
"Excuse me"
"Can you tell me where I can find this address?"
The stranger said while handing him a small sheet of paper with an address on it.
Shizuo looked at the address that the stranger has given him. He straightens his glasses and said:
"Ah, I know where this is."
"Really? That's great"
"How can I get there?"
"You can get there by foot, but it's pretty far."
The stranger paused for a while and said:
"Then can you escort me there?"
"Huh..?"
Shizuo tilted his head while considering what the stranger just requested.
After giving it a thought Shizuo stood up
"Fine, I'll take you there"
"Thanks, and sorry for troubling you."
The stranger bowed as to show appreciation
"No problem, I don't have anything better to do now anyway."
And with that Shizuo escorted the stranger to its destination.
In the middle of their journey the stranger started talking.
"Oh, how rude of me?"
"I haven't introduced myself."
"My name is Kanzaki Miyuki, nice to meet you."
- It's been about 30 minutes since we left the park
- And you just introduce yourself now?
With those thoughts in his head Shizuo still replied to Kanzaki Miyuki.
"I'm Heiwajima Shizuo."
"Heiwajima Shizuo? That's a nice name."
"Yeah, I wish I was more like it."
Kanzaki tilted his head in confusion, not getting what Shizuo just meant by more like his name. If he was a local resident of Ikebukuro he might have understood what Shizuo meant.
Heiwajima Shizuo was known to be the strongest man Ikebukuro which you should never mess with. But Kanzaki was person that had no knowledge of that just kept quiet and followed Shizuo as he was escorted.
Not long after their introduction Kanzaki started talking again.
"By the way Shizuo-san."
"What is your job?"
Normally people who don't know Shizuo would just assume that he's a bartender since he wears a bartender outfit but Kanzaki still asked him the question anyway.
"Why do you ask?"
Shizuo looked at him wondering what intentions would make someone ask out of the blue what his job was. Even Shizuo knew that normally people who don't know him will mistake him for a bartender. Yet, why did this person ask?
"I'm just curious."
"I mean if you're a bartender then why would you be sitting on a park bench in the middle of the day?"
His statement was right. If Shizuo was a real bartender he wouldn't be sitting on a bench in a park when he should be in a bar.
Hearing that statement Shizuo turned his gaze back on the road.
"If you really want to know, I'm a debt collector for paid websites."
"So that's what you do."
Kanzaki said with a usual tone. Shizuo thought that Kanzaki would ask why is he wearing a bartender suit despite the fact that he's not a bartender but Kanzaki just followed Shizuo without asking anymore questions.
On their way, they met two otakus who seem to be carrying a lot of manga while they were passing by the Animate building.
"Isn't that Shizu-chan?"
Said a girl in black clothes while carrying a stack of manga.
Shizuo looked and noticed the two of them.
"Yo Yumasaki, Karisawa, what are you guys doing?"
"oh Shizuo, we just finished shopping."
Replied the man called Yumasaki
"What are you doing here Shizuo?"
"I'm just passing by to get this guy over here to some place."
Shizuo said flatly. Kanzaki on the other hand was looking at the stack of manga the two of them were carrying.
"Hey is that the new edition of Shonen JUMP?"
"Yes, it is."
"It just got out today."
"I gotta buy one later."
After that Shizuo and Kanzaki continued their journey.
As the two of them keep walking Kanzaki felt thirsty and went to buy some drinks from a vending machine that they just passed not long ago and left Shizuo waiting on the street.
- If he was thirsty he should have just bought the drink while we passed by the vending machine earlier.
- Well, I guess I'll just have to wait.
While Shizuo was waiting for Kanzaki to come back with the drinks he saw someone familiar. The person was the last person he'd want to see on earth. Orihara Izaya his enemy was walking down the streets of Ikebukuro with a casual way of walking.
Seeing the person he hated the most, he took a sign pole from the side of the road and chased Izaya so he could kill him.
When Kanzaki got back he couldn't see Shizuo anywhere.
- Where's Shizuo-san?
- Don't tell me he ditched me.
- Maybe he went ahead to catch up the pace since I took my time in buying these drinks.
Kanzaki went walking fast to the direction they were heading.
- Come to think of it wasn't there a sign pole over there before I left?
Later then, Kanzaki caught up with Shizuo but by then Izaya was no longer in sight and Shizuo had thrown away the sign pole that he took when he was chasing Izaya.
Seeing Shizuo acting normally like nothing had happened, Kanzaki had no idea of what kind of disaster just happened and handed over a carton milk box to Shizuo.
At last they have made it to their destination.
"Thanks again Shizuo-san."
"No problem."
"I hope we meet again someday."
As Kanzaki went inside the apartment, Shizuo left to go to a place closer to where he and Tom had agreed to meet.
- hmmm that Shizuo guy seems interesting
- I hope I really do meet him again soon
At a place near the park
"Hey Shizuo, you ready for work?"
Tom, his boss asked him before heading off.
"Yeah, let's go."
"So, what did you do today?"
"Well I kind of showed the way for a lost guy."
"?"
Ok so that's the beginning of the story
There will be a lot of twists in the story so stay tuned and please tell me what you think of my first fic :D
