Oh and I do not own Tsubasa Chronicles or Durarara
Please Review :3
It was another sunny day in Ikebukaro, and the Tsubasa gang walked through the streets once again, awaiting surprises. Right before they left in the morning, they thanked Celty and Shinra gratefully, and said that they'd most likely not be back, or Syaoran hoped.
As they walked through the crowded streets, Syaoran's thoughts started to wander. So many things were bothering him. The way Mokana couldn't sense the feather, the possibility that the feather wasn't even here, but the thing that bothered him the most was the thought of Izaya Orihara.
As Syaoran was lost in his thoughts, he ended up bumping into someone else and stumbling back. When Syaoran looked up, he saw a girl on the ground who was rubbing her back. She had short chopped black hair, and brown eyes, which were covered by glasses.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Syaoran said extending his hand to her. She looked at him a little warily…maybe a little frightened, but then she accepted his offer for help.
When she got up she turned to Syaoran, "I-I'm sorry," She said shyly. Before Syaoran could respond a voice called out from the distance.
"Anri-san!" Someone called. The girl turned her head, and smiled.
"Mikado-kun," She replied happily. In a second a boy with short black hair came running towards them. When the boy came to them he turned to the girl first.
"Anri-san are you okay? I turned around and you weren't there," the boy named Mikado said.
"Yes," The girl named Anri said with a nod, "I just wasn't paying attention and I ended up bumping into someone," She said motioning to Syoaran. Mikado turned and bowed.
"I'm sorry, are you okay," Mikado asked Syaoran.
"Oh, yes, you don't need to worry," Syaoran said. After that the two teens apologized once again and took their leave. The Tsubasa gang continued walking until they stopped to the surprising sound of Fai's laugh.
They all turned to him confused and then he smiled and looked up to the sky, "Who would of though such people would live in a city like this," Fai said to himself.
The rest of the gang looked at each other confused, but then decided it would be better not to ask.
The gang approached the building they came to yesterday to find none other than Izaya standing outside, hands in his jacket pockets and leaning against the wall. As they walked towards him Syaoran could hear Sakura whispering, "Why does he wear a jacket in the summer?" to herself. Syaoran smiled and took a breath in, as they walked up to Izaya. Izaya opened his eyes and a wide smile formed on his face.
"Oh, Good morning, Syaoran-kun and others~!" Izaya said with a delighted expression.
"Others…" Kurogane said to himself.
"I'm glad you're here, I didn't think you guys would actually show," Izaya said with a smirk. Sakura moved behind Kurogane feeling a bit uncomfortable. Izaya's smirk widened.
"Ah~ ,Sakura, was it? You don't have to be that afraid of me~" Izaya said in a peppy voice. Obviously this just frightened Sakura more and she moved further behind Kurogane.
Izaya smirked, This human's expressions are quite expected, but it's still fun… Izaya thought.
"Um, Izaya-san," Syaoran spoke and caught Izaya's attention.
"Yes~" Izaya asked.
"Um, do you know how we are going to find…uh you know," Syaoran asked warily. Izaya closed his eyes and lifted up his hands.
"Ah, Syaoran-kun, so straight to the point. Before we find what you need we need to look around the city a bit, meet some people, understand~?" Izaya said, spinning on his heel and walking towards the street.
"Understood," Syaoran said following Izaya, the others trailing not so far behind.
Izaya smirked, and whispered under his breath, "Wonderful."
Izaya and the Tsubasa gang stopped in front of a large fountain near the center of the town. As they walked Izaya would once and a while tell stories of random stabbing incidents and gang fights that would break out. Then from the corner of his eye he would watch as Sakura would cringe and hid, and he would smirk. However what really sparked his attention was the three males. How the tallest man would stare down every person who would look his direction. Next, the blond one would stand with a smile on his face the whole time (the one he didn't like very much, but moving on). And finally the way the youngest ones face never changed from its determined look. It was like he wasn't afraid to die.
Izaya smirked, Oh, how I love humans, Izaya thought as he turned to the Tsubasa gang.
"In Shinra's letter, it said you guys were wondering if any abnormal things were occurring. Could you explain that?" Izaya asked.
Before Syaoran could respond, Kurogane spoke with irritation in his voice, "It's exactly what it means, abnormal, what kind of freakin' explanation do you need?" Kurogane spat. Something about this guy really irritated him.
Izaya's smirk grew wider, "Why, there are many types of abnormal. There's your everyday weird. There's your sort of strange events, and then there's-" Izaya said spinning on his heel with his hands in his pockets.
"Oi, now you're just throwing crap around," Kurogane interrupted irritated. Izaya hopped up onto the ledge of the fountain and started balancing on it.
"Crap, huh?" Izaya asked amused, "Would crap be able to find what you oh-so-desperately need, hmmm~" Izaya asked with a smirk. Kurogane swore under his breath and turned away irritated. Fai chuckled and caught everyone's attention.
"He got you there Kuro-tan," Fai said, with a smile, but from the corner of his eye he was glaring at Izaya who was examining him.
"Um, Izaya-san, I don't mean to sound pushy, but what's the point of taking us around the city?" Syaoran asked.
"Oh, dear Syaoran-kun," Izaya said shaking his head as he jumped down from the fountain. "I need you to see all the odd things that happen here in Ikebukaro, and then it's for you to decide if it's abnormal or not. And if you have any questions…I'm right here," Izaya said narrowing his eyes a bit.
"That makes sense," Syaoran said, not fully convinced…wait scratch that… not convinced at all. The words that came out of his mouth were probably most likely to satisfy Izaya's ego.
At this point, inside Syaoran was panicking. Was this his only hope? Was he to put everything on a twenty-three year old informant? All of Syaoran's emotions were running through him frantically, but instead of showing his feeling, Syaoran kept his poker face on, following Kurogane's advice. Which was probably a smart move because the whole time Syaoran was thinking, Izaya was watching him…looking for his weaknesses.
"So~" Fai chimed, and everyone turned to him. He was sitting lazily on the edge of the fountain, legs crossed, eyes closed, and smile locked on. "What are you going to show us first Izaya-kun?"
Izaya returned his "smile" and turned on his heel. He pointed into the distance were a crowd was starting to form.
"Why don't you look over there, and you'll see one of Ikebukaro's famous color gang scuffs," Izaya said with a smirk. The Tsubasa gang turned their heads and looked intrigued at the scene. On one side were a group of the cheesiest people you could see with yellow scarfs and yellow hoodies. Then on the other side were a group of people in all blue, and both sides were armed with metal pipes and baseball bats. Syaoran shook his head in what seemed like disgust. It was sad to see people who only fought because they had nothing better to do.
"Tch," Kurogane said in the background, "Fools."
"Now, now," Izaya said, "Don't underestimate all of these people," he said turning on his heel with his hand in his pockets. "Granted, most of them are fools, but some can be unexpected…they are humans after all," Izaya said with a laugh.
"Humans are capable of many things," Fai stated in a more serious tone than usual, but still with a smile. "But I'm sure you know this, Izaya-kun," Fai said with a closed eyed smile.
Before anyone could respond to this, a scream came from one of the bystanders, and the next thing they knew a metal pipe was flying straight towards the Tsubasa gang…more specifically Sakura. Then as fast as anyone could imagine, Syaoran darted forward and kicked the pipe as it descended down. The pipe flew backwards and landed swiftly in the hand of Fai.
"Hyuu~, nice kick Syaoran," Fai chimed.
"Pretty good kid," Kurogane muttered.
The Tsubasa gang took this as the normal, but everyone one around them was completely stunned, even Izaya eyes widened for a second, but then a smirk formed on his lips.
Well, wasn't this unexpected, Izaya thought, growing more excited.
Once the whispers around them lowered, Syaoran turned to Sakura.
"Are you okay, Pr- um, Sakura," Syaoran said. Sakura blushed a bit at the way he called her.
"Mhm, thank you, Syaoran," Sakura smiled. Before Syaoran could reply shouts came from the crowd again.
"YO FOOL!" One of the men in yellow yelled. "Why you gettin' in our way?!" He exclaimed. Syaoran sweat dropped. They can't be serious could they? They threw the pipe at us, Syaoran thought.
"If this is what you boys want," Fai said waving the pipe, "You can have it," Fai said smiling as he chucked it at the men, hitting three of them at once, knocking them all unconscious.
"Fai…" Syaoran said shaking his head a bit.
"Oops, sorry my aims not that great," Fai said teasingly.
"You…you're all dead!" The man yelled. Before any of them could move, Kurogane spoke.
"Oi," Kurogane said, "What did you just say?" he said showing his irritated expression as he glared at them.
"Y-you don't scare us," the man said.
"Oh, you better be careful," Fai said leaning back on his hands, "he just came back from his anger management class, he's in the worst mood after that," Fai lied.
"Shut up!" Kurogane said angrily. "I don't need anger management classes!"
"My point exactly," Fai said with a smile. While the two bickered the colored gangs trembled.
"T-these guys are mental!" One of them yelled, and the gangs ran away. Syaoran sighed in relief, only to hear Izaya laugh in the background.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Izaya laughed as though he was going to fall on the floor, "Now that was unexpected! Oh, I'm glad I took this job," Izaya said, still laughing as he held his stomach.
"I-izaya-san?" Syaoran called, a little hesitant on what to do. Izaya regained his compositor, still grinning like a little boy who had just gotten a new toy.
"Wow, that was exciting," Izaya said walking past Syaoran. Syaoran was dumbfounded. What was wrong with this guy? He seemed to ignore everything Syaoran was saying. The more time he spent with this man, the less and less hopeful he became in any chance of him finding the feather. Izaya turned and looked at Syaoran with intrigued eyes.
"Come on, there's much more to see in Ikebukaro," Izaya said, not even trying to mask his excitement. He could do whatever he pleased, because he knew he was Syaoran's only hope.
"What else are you going to show us?" Syaoran asked. Izaya pretended to ponder for a second, but before he could say anything the voice of a young girl shouted at them.
"Izi-nii!" A loud high pitched voice called. Syaoran looked at Izaya, stunned because for the first time, it looked as though Izaya was becoming…irritated. It was only for a split second though, because in an instant his smug look reappeared on his face. He turned and faced away from Syaoran and the others and spoke in his usual tone.
"Ah, Mairu-chan, Kururi-chan, to what extend do I deserve your wonderful visit?" Izaya asked as two girls approached him.
Syaoran looked and observed the two girls. They looked like they were probably in Junior High. One of them, the one who spoke, was wearing a black sailor's school uniform. She had long black hair that was in a braid, and she wore glasses. The one next to her, who hid behind the first one, had very short brown hair. And she was wearing…a gym uniform. The two looked pretty alike, they're probably sisters, Syaoran thought. And by the way they addressed Izaya, that could only mean one thing…they had just met his sisters.
"Ahhhhh, Izi-nii, why didn't you tell us you were coming into town today?" The one in black asked.
"Yea…why didn't…," The other one said from behind her.
"Hmm, Mairu-chan, I'm surprised you care?" Izaya said, in a not as excited tone as before.
"Oh, I don't, but you still should have told us," Mairu said with a straightforward answer.
"Right…should have…" Kururi said softly.
"I shouldn't have expected any family love from you two," Izaya said with a shrug, and a fake disappointed face.
Mairu continued talking as Kururi stood silent. Then her eyes caught sight of Syaoran, and the others. Her eyes widened a bit, and then sparkled out of curiosity.
"Izi-nii… who?" Kururi asked, directing her question to Syaoran and the others.
Izaya smirked, "This is Syaoran-kun, and his traveling companions," Izaya said, and then pointed to his two sisters. "This is Mairu-chan, and Kururi-chan, I guess you can call them my younger sisters."
You guess…? Syaoran thought. Before he could continue thinking Mairu ran up to them.
"Wowwwww! These people are almost as good looking as Yuuhei…almost," Mairu said excitedly.
"What's with this girl," Kurogane muttered.
While Mairu was talking excitedly, Kururi stood still and stared at her brother, who had his "excited" expression on, and she knew when he had that face on, he was ready to mess with people. Izaya turned to see Kururi "glaring" (more like staring) at him.
"Now Kururi-chan, why are you looking at me like that? I'm not that bad," Izaya asked jokingly. They both new he was pretty bad.
"Whatever…(I don't care what you do, you're already pretty messed up)," Kururi said in one word.
"Now Kururi-chan that's pretty harsh," Izaya said with his hands in his pockets. Seems she cares what I'm doing today, Izaya thought with a shrug.
Kururi ignored him and walked towards her sister, and placed a hand on her shoulder. Mairu turned surprised.
"Rude…(You're being rude, stop bothering them)," Kururi said.
Mairu pouted, "You're no fun Kuru-nee. You might as well be Izi-nii if you're so boring," Mairu said jokingly. Kururi sighed and shook her head, as she grabbed her sister's sleeve.
She turned to the Tsubasa gang, "Sorry…(sorry for my sister's actions, and for what my brother's about to do to you)," Is what Kururi meant to say, sadly no one in the tsubasa gang understood her warning. She sighed and pulled her sister away.
"Bye…," Kururi muttered to her brother.
"Later Izi-nii!" Mairu shouted as she skipped away with her sister trailing behind her.
"Hope I don't see you soon~" Izaya chimed back. The two sisters turned back, and stuck their tongues out at their brother, and then skipped away.
"T-they, are quite unique," Syaoran said, not knowing how to word it.
"So this is what he meant by abnormal," Kurogane said bluntly.
"K-kurogane," Syaoran said, a little worried how Izaya would react.
"Well, that was a distraction," Izaya said completely ignoring what the Tsubasa gang had said (not that he would have cared), "We better get a move on if we're going to catch up with him."
"H-him?" Sakura asked a little scared.
"Who's him?" Fai asked in a nonchalant tone.
Izaya smirked, "Just the most monstrous of all men…actually I wouldn't even call him a man, he's more like a beast," Izaya said in a somewhat cheerful voice.
"Huh…" Kurogane asked confused. Izaya smirked, and perked up his ears.
"Listen…" Izaya said, excited.
The Tsubasa gang listened very closely and heard the sound of running footsteps. Syaoran instantly raised his guard, as did Kurogane, as Sakura started to hide, while Fai just smiled.
"IIIZAAAAAYYYYYAAAAA!" A voice boomed from the distance. Izaya smirked and put his hands in his pockets.
"Shizu-chan's finally made his appearance."
