It started with Izaya, all of it. In Ikebukuro and Shinjuku, it seems that everything starts and ends with him being behind it in one way or another. At least, that's what I've come to learn in this first week of my new job.

I'm not a person to write diaries, or personal journals. I don't know what has compelled me to write at all. I just started, I can't stop.

Just a few weeks ago I was a 'gem' for the Yagiri Pharmaceutical Company of my family name. Now? Now I've become the personal assistant to possibly the most twisted man in the entire country—Izaya.

I used to know him as an information broker, as a tracker—the best of the best. If you wanted to know anything, or find anyone, it was he you went to. I came to him wanting to find my brother. The end result was finding him, losing my job, and becoming his bitch, so to speak.

After the downfall had finally occurred, he came to me with that damn smile on his face, sitting down and offering me a job…

I hear him, still, echoing in my mind, "So Miss Namie… Since the only option for you is to leave the country—or work for me, why don't you work for me? I do have an opening…"

I accepted, I do not tend to regret decisions, except the one involving that thing… But… It is a job.

I didn't need one right away, my expenses are low—I keep Seiji on a decent budget. Everything else went into savings. I've been working since I was able for the company; I've saved up quite the sum. If it had not been an off-shore account, they would have seized the assets in the investigation. I've been in a sort of hiding since that incident.

The pay isn't bad, much higher than one would for the title. If he wasn't such an intelligent man, and his work so sophisticated, I would be driven insane by boredom. I like to thing, to figure things out. To know, to wonder, to dissect, and to go towards goals—my only goal is to make sure Seiji is safe. He's back in school with that girl…

He does bother to check up more than he used to… I know where he is more often, it's better than way. If something ever happened to my darling Seiji…

I'd have to kill somebody.

Life is different now. I went from a high-paying executive with people under me, so very many… to a secretary to the most twisted man around. I wonder if I'm another game to him… Perhaps I'll find out with time.

There's a feeling that he has plans that I won't want to find out.

There's another feeling that he just likes to observe me, that I'm interesting…

He puts me on edge, sometimes.

He knows that. He likes it. I don't.

Charan-Amaya: You can guess what fandom I just got into-not to worry, if you're familiar with my works, great, if not... Well, I haven't tried out DRRR!

I can't wait to continue this, Namie's my favorite character. She also possibly one of the hardest to 'get' in a sense. Everyone seems to peg her wrong at times, it's a bit irritating.

But I was amused, and decided to try her out-and a bit of Izaya's lines. I haven't read a lot of the novels, since it's not fully translated. If ANY of you have links to the full English translation I'd like you to send it by in a review. I have a good chunk...

Izaya and Namie's relationship seems to become a canon pairing, in some twisted way. It's a frightening ordeal. -Shudder.- I hope I'm wrong.
