A/N: Forgive me I couldn't help myself I just had to take this character from somewhere else he is just the perfect mist guardian. shamelessly I'll probably add more characters from other animes but only if they are perfect. And because I don't have a disclaimer for Durarara and it's characters. I'm gonna just say I don't own anything about it.

I was laying down in the tree outside my brother's window watching as he was being forced to take what appears to be symbols of power in the form of rings. He looked like he was gonna refuse if they didn't mention the number of people including his soon to be guardians that would be in danger if the linger by description happened to gain possession of the rings. I caught something about 10 days of preparation and that was enough for me. Stretching a little I decided it didn't really have anything to do with me and made the decision to seek out Hana. I still haven't categorized her. I'm hoping to turn her flame active so we can bond. I think she might be a storm or rain. Maybe a rain like Squalo. Yeah, that sounds right. (your guess is as good as mine.) Thinking about potential guardians I wonder what happened to mine. It's been a long time since I spent that summer in Ikebukuro.

Flashback.

I watched as my mother lost me in the crowds of rats and rabbits. Tsuna not getting lost because he was holding his mother's hand. I guess I'll just be a street cat until it's time to go to school if I can't find my way home. Walking up to a wealthy looking man I tugged on his shirt mustering up tears to my eyes to match my act I have seen this happen many times on the box of wonder and it usually works and if it doesn't work they usually get their wallet swiped which I will. I waited till he turned around before I wobbled my lip like Tsuna does when he is about to cry.

"Mister have you seen my mommy I Lost." only to have the man push me down muttering about brats. I got up and as he turned away I swiped his wallet and ran for it. As soon as I was in an alleyway away from the street I took out the cash and dropped the wallet. I smiled and went to find out where the police station was due to the wonder box I knew that kids were not usually allowed on the train by themselves so I would need to turn myself in when vacation was almost over so as to have a ride home. I decided to approach a nice family of five this time I went to the mother.

"Ma'am, do you know where the police station is?" I said tears still leftover in my eyes as she looked at me.

"Why are you looking for the police station? Where are your parents?" She said. I could feel her teenager son's eyes lock onto me. Feeling a shiver go up my spine at the feel of mist starting to swirl.

"Maman lost me in the crowd could you just point me in the right direction," I said. Hoping she wouldn't escort me. I had no plans of returning to the den anytime soon.

"Mother" the boy spoke up.

"Yes, Izaya?" The woman responded.

"Is it okay if I take her to the station I know the way back home from here." He said putting on a proud but happy expression on his face.

"Very well you're a teenager after all." His father said interrupting what the mother might have been about to say not looking up from the phone he had been on since the conversation started, texting somebody important probably. He waved us off impatiently still not looking at us. the animal of unknown species grabbed my hand and started hopping away making humming noises. He noticed how I literally zeroed in on the noise He started being a songbird just a little tune.

"la dee da do doo la la de de La doo, do you like me singing to you?" He was chirping with his little tweeting. I looked away with a huff hoping he wouldn't stop and secretly liking it.

I was hunting through alleyways as night was fallen and through parks for the perfect place to put my temporary den. The strange songbird left me for in front of the police station I fled as soon as he left saying his name was Orihara Izaya and to look him up whenever I'm in town saying that I'm interesting. He had a knowing glint in his eyes that I decided to ignore. Shaking my head I decided some nice cardboard boxes and some ugly but very clean rugs would make a good bed for now. I decided to drag my haul to the park and camp under a bench in case it rained. Looking it over I deemed it comfortable and safe enough for the kitten I currently was. Climbing in I noticed it was a lot less comfortable than I was used to confusing I started pawing it until I could feel it fluff up a little. Satisfied I lied down only for it to flatten almost immediately. Glaring at the makeshift bed I decided to still try to sleep.

A few hours later I was still tossing and turning I decided to put my information gathering skills to the test and find this Orihara Izaya.

It wasn't till the next day when I was exhausted that I finally found him by chance. He was sitting at the fountain humming a nice tune in the park where I made my bed. I could see him smirking as I approached. Huffing I wandered over. "Let me hide in your room at night," I demanded.

"Now is that any way to ask for a favor?" He smirked clearly amused.

I looked blankly at him. "Please." He smiled and motioned me to follow.

And that's how I spent the rest of my summer break sleeping at Izaya's and learning the wonders of music and information gathering and it continued that way till a week before school was to begin. When It was the day of my departure Izaya walked me to the train station and paid for my ticket so I wouldn't have to bother the police like I originally planned. As we were approaching the train. He started singing an incomplete English song he's been singing to me for the past week or so I couldn't understand but one day would he was obviously skipping some words though.

"I have often dreamed of a far off place... I'll be there someday I can go the distance ... one day I'll be right where I belong. down an unknown road to embrace my fate. though the road may wonder it will lead me to you... and a thousand years would be worth the wait it may take a lifetime but somehow I'll see it though and I won't look back I can go the distance. and I'll stay on track no I won't accept defeat... It's an uphill slope but I won't lose hope until I go the distance and my journey is complete... I will search the world"

Looking at Izaya's direction as I was stepping on the train. I was surprised to see him walking away. Decided to not let him go like that. I ran up to him and gave his leg a tight squeeze not enough to hurt though as I felt the mist swirl. He isn't a tomcat after all he's just a cat. I ran away back to the train before I could see his response.

I snapped out of the flashback as I made it to Hana's house. Sighing in contempt, it was gonna be one of those days. I hopped through the window and bodily tackled Hana in one smooth movement, hoping to startle activation out of her. She was flat on her back and yet no flame. I internally whine I hope she isn't too weak.

I noticed a couple of pictures in the corner of my eye It was the first time that I have been in Hana's room so pictures are new. Getting off Hana and paying no mind to her groaning. I went to look at the pictures and noticed how many there were and how many different ages there were. I picked up one with myself in it. It looked pretty recent I was walking past the picture taker not even paying it any mind my weapons out my gaze focused off in the distance my gaze captive my steps hurried without running and they were slightly blurred. I wonder why she kept it.

"Why do you keep it?" I said waving my photo of me in front of her face.

"Because you are my friend."

"I don't get it."

"Okay let me put it this way memories make you who you are."

"... go on."

"Pictures capture the memories and let us reminisce about the past. It's fine if you put the past behind you but it's best to remember the important stuff."

"..." I drop the picture and left.
