Durarara! THE SLEEPING BEAUTY OF IKEBUKURO_Part 1

The sky was a brilliant blue and the sun was at its peak at midday. It was the perfect day for Celty to sit inside and watch the TV series she had recorded the week before.

However, despite the fact that it was beautiful outside and that Celty was going to sit inside and watch her favorite show, she felt uneasy. It was quiet; too quiet. Normally by that time Shinra would have raved about how Celty should watch less TV and pay more attention to him.

Celty looked over her shoulder to the kitchen, and saw Shinra, while holding his chin, stare intently at her, with a pondering expression on his face. Celty tilted her head as if asking 'Shinra?' When Shinra didn't react to said motion, Celty pulled out her phone, and typed on it.

'What's wrong, Shinra? Is there something on my helmet?' Celty asked.

Shinra stood there for a while longer before he noticed that Celty had her phone out. He blinked once before reading the message.

"Huh? Oh no, that's not it. I was just wondering…"

'?' Celty typed on her phone. Shinra looked on for a little longer before replying.

"It's just that…it's amazing how you can continue to have thoughts and have all your senses process normally without a physical brain attached to your body. No matter what theory I come up with, none of it explains this phenomenon."

'Well of course you won't come up with a scientific theory to solve this' Celty began

'its magic' she said.

'Magic?' Shinra repeated.

'Yeah, like the shadows which act as magical sensors of some sort? It's always been like that'

"Hmm…I still don't think I get the 'magic' thing"

'?'

'It's not just me. All fairy tales have some sort of magic in it.' When Shinra kept quiet, Celty went on.

'For example; in the Sleeping Beauty, the princes Aurora fell into an eternal death-like state, thanks to the spin-needle curse cast upon her by the evil witch Maleficent. She could only be awakened from this sleep by the effect of a true-love's kiss.'

'A true-love's kiss was also needed to resurrect Snow White, who had been poisoned by the witch's apple and fell into a death-like sleep state. It's all magic.'

'Or…' Celty started typing.

"Wait, wait, back up, back up. You're saying that after the girl falls asleep, she can only be awakened by a true love's kiss?'

'?'

'Yes, that's right'

"Hmm…how interesting! I wonder if it's possible to re-create such an ethereal death-like state."

"What do you mean?'

"Think about it!" Shinra began "Imagine a person falls into a deep coma, and only the effects of a kiss can wake that person up!"

'I get it, but how?'

'How would you create a sleep that can only be awakened from by a true love's kiss?'

"It's elementary, my dear Celty! Modern science is the answer to magic, after all. Now I just need to put together the true-love-kiss-sleep-inducing-potion. And then I need to find myself a guinea pig!" Shinra said excitedly and left the room.

'A guinea pig? Yeah right, where would you find some one who's stupid enough to partake in such a ludicrous experiment?' Celty wondered to herself.

Later that day…

*ding-dong*

Celty went up to the door and checked the video camera to see who was visiting them at such a dangerous hour.

On the screen, Celty stared for a moment before face palming.

'I should have known…'

The screen showed the black-haired informant of Ikebukuro, looking ever-so-cautiously at the camera.


'Good…good afternoon, Izaya' said the text on the phone that Celty held awkwardly for Izaya to see at the door.

"Yes, quite" Izaya greeted plainly, eyeing Celty. Her odd behavior confirmed Izaya's suspicions.

'Come on in' Celty held the door opened for him.

'Jip, it was definitely a bad idea to come here. But it's too late to leave now.' Izaya thought, forcing down the grimace which threatened to surface.

"Pardon the intrusion" he said as he entered.

"Izaya, my old friend! Thank you for coming on such short notice." Shinra said, eagerly rubbing his hands together, not looking like an excited mad doctor AT ALL.

"The only time I ever receive a formal invitation from you is when you want some one you can use as a guinea pig.' Izaya retorted.

"Nonsense, don't say that!" Shinra said as he led Izaya to sit on the coach. "Is it so strange for me to want to catch up with an old buddy without having an ulterior motive what-so-ever?' Shinra asked innocently.

"Yes" Izaya answered, sighing as Celty put down a tray of drinks in front of them. Izaya raised an eyebrow at Shinra.

"Hey now, don't look at me like that" Shinra said, laughing nervously. "Anyway, so here's what I've been thinking about…" Shinra began.

'This cannot end well' Celty thought as she listened to their conversation from afar.


The air was tense in the living room of the Kishitani apartment.

'This is what you wanted, isn't it?' Celty asked.

"…"

"I…I didn't expect it to be like this…' Shinra admitted.

'This is what you get for tricking him like that.'

"But Celty, I didn't think the effects of the potion would be this potent, it should have worn of long ago!" Shinra whined. "It's been almost a week now!"

'Don't look at me, you got yourself into this mess.'

"Come on Celty, help me out here, I'm really worried"

'Why don't you just do what you intended from the beginning?'

'Get a prince to wake up this frail and pale 'sleeping beauty''

'Or have you already forgotten the goal of this experiment?'

"No, even if you say that, I don't know if a kiss will even work. This was just a test run! I thought that he would wake up after a while, even without the kiss…"

There was moment of silence, and Shinra expected what came next.

'You mean you did the experiment without knowing all the specs?'

'That's dangerous, you know?!' Shinra looked down in regret and Celty sighed.

'Enough' Celty said and she threw the phone on Shinra's lap. Shinra looked down on the phone on his lap and read the message on the screen.

'All you can do now is try to find the 'prince', right? Use this phone to call Kyohei. I'm sure he'll have an idea about who to ask'

Shinra looked up at Celty with sparkling eyes, which only caused the headless rider to recede and calm her beating heart.


*phone vibrates*

Kyohei, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the van, took out the vibrating phone from his pocket and checked the number. He recognized it as Celty's number. He never actually expected her to call him, but he saved her number for times like these.

"Hello?" Kyohei answered.

"Kyohei!" he heard Erika call. Soon after, she popped her head through the van's sliding door.

"Who called? Who who?" she asked excitedly.

"Huh? Oh it's just Shinra. He's raving about how Izaya fell into a death-like sleep state due to an experimental potion of his, and how he needs some one who can give him a true love's kiss to wake him up. Only, I can't think of anyone' Kyohei summarized.

"Of course, that's to be expected! I don't think I've ever seen Izaya with anyone who looks remotely like his lover!" Walker said, from where he stood next to the passengers seat's window.

"What are you guys talking about?" Erika exclaimed, feigning shock "There's only one person who could give Izaya a true love's kiss, and that's Ikebukuro's strongest man!"

There was momentary silence. Shinra had heard Erika due to her loudness.

"Any other nominations?" he asked hopefully. When no answer came, Shinra sighed. "Well if there's no one else…"

"Worth a try, I guess?" Kyohei laughed nervously, finishing Shinra's sentence.

"Don't worry, Shinra! If you die because of this, Erika says she'll pay for your funeral!" Walker called into the phone.

"Hah? What are you yapping on about…" Erika argued.

"Oi, what are you guys doing? No fighting in the van…oi! Be careful! Sorry Shinra, I'll call again later!"

'Huh? Okay, later then…' came Shinra's reply and the call ended after the sound of a loud crash had been heard.
