A/N: Kiss warning?

I'm bored.

Amaimon thought in class. It was Friday. Anri had been right, word got out that the

slasher had disappeared and rumors began to spread throughout the week saying that 'the new guy' had stopped the slasher. He wasn't seen as negatively anymore. Although, ever since that happened nothing else exciting had really occurred. At least, that Amaimon knew of.

He almost regretted defeating Haruna, merely because of how much he hated being bored. However, he liked that he made Anri happy though so he wouldn't take it back, for her sake. The things of this city, which had appealed to Amaimon when he first got here, had lost their excitement since they weren't new anymore. He had gotten used to some aspects of the city, so they were boring to him now.

In other circumstances, he would make something interesting happen to cure his boredom. He would think about using Shinra to get to Celty, since she would be interesting to fight (Being that he's her fiancé) or use Mikado to get to Anri for similar reasons. Amaimon could tell that Anri returned Mikado's feelings for her but that she wasn't aware of it. Amaimon wondered if the demonic spirit inside of Anri allowed him to sense more about her.

These were circumstances he couldn't create though, because he promised himself he wouldn't do anything of the sort so he could focus on his goal. He still needed to save his energy for Rin, so he couldn't chance anything messing up his plans for the future battle. He sighed at how he allowed himself to stay bored due to these circumstances. He also didn't want to get to Anri, even though strategy-wise he knew she'd be perfect to fight for entertainment.

He was finding himself caring what she thought and not wanting to cause any hurt towards her. He wanted to make her happy. Realizing the thoughts he was having about this girl, Amaimon blushed. Walking in the hallway later, he noticed Aoba and the Orihara twins walking ahead of him.

Remembering his little flirtation with Mairu last week, he decided she was a way he could seek to cure his boredom.

He'd sent her a message to meet up in the park after school, alone.

She was waiting on the park bench when he came up to her. She smiled when she saw him.

"I should have figured you were the one who sent that message." She blushed. He leaned against the bench, not quite sitting yet.

"So, you're the type who would agree to meet up with a stranger alone?"

"Exciting, isn't it?" Her smile was somewhat mischievous. Amaimon shot her a very alluring smirk.

He slid down so he was sitting on the bench next to her, their inner knees barely brushing against each other.

"So, tell me. What did you expect would happen from this encounter if you suspected that it was me?"

Mairu shrugged."I don't know." She giggled.

He gently tangled his claws in her hair, playing with her hair by weaving it through his claws. He was slowly and playfully undoing her braid. He then began to stroke her face with his claws, but not hurting her. He drew closer to her, and put his nose up to her cheek to sniff her. He touched her cheek with the tip of his tongue.

If she thought this was weird she wasn't indicating so. He licked her cheek.

As he pulled her head towards his, his lips began to find their way to hers. Suddenly someone close cleared their throat. Amaimon and Mairu immediately pulled away from each other.

Amaimon looked over to see Izaya standing behind the bench, his arms crossed.

"I don't think it's in your best interest to play with my sister."

Seriously? How could he possibly deny that he actually cares?

Mairu stood up in a rage,"Izaya! What the heck! You have no business butting into my business like this! You haven't acted much like a brother but now you decide to protect me from something I actually want!? Ugh!"

"Well, you couldn't be more wrong about my intentions sister. This simply has no use for either one of you. You both just want to have fun, but there's nothing definite that Amaimon will even stay in this city so why even bother investing your time into him? And Amaimon is simply bored, but this kind of entertainment will do him no good. For reasons I am not at liberty to discuss with anyone else. Simply put, he has a clear goal and this would bring him no closer to actually achieving."

What was with this guy? Amaimon still couldn't understand why Izaya acted this way. To think, Amaimon used to be believe that humans were so simple.

Izaya leaned forward on the bench."In other words, maybe you should invest your time here more on achieving your goal rather than fooling around with your caretaker's sister just because you can." There was a lot of venom in Izaya's statement, something Amaimon had never heard from Izaya before.

Mairu slapped Izaya across the cheek and stormed off.

There was a red mark on his cheek. Amaimon was surprised that Izaya hadn't seen that coming. His eyes indicated his surprise, and that her slap actually hurt. He raised his hand to touch it, as though still in shock of what just happened.

Nowhere was it a fact that they had to listen to what Izaya said. Many young people very likely would have ignored what he said, and done whatever they wanted anyways. Somehow, they didn't.

They didn't like what he said, and they weren't happy with him, but yet they essentially stopped like he wanted. Why was that? Amaimon had the feeling he wouldn't be seeing Mairu hanging around him again anytime soon. Izaya was still a mystery to Amaimon. Amaimon noticed how the sunset that evening was surprisingly very red.

(Interviews that occurred at different times throughout a span of two weeks since Amaimon had been there.)

Shuji Niekawa had been writing an article on the unusual characters of Ikebukuro. Since he recently heard the stories of a new guy everyone was talking about, he decided to add him to the story. So he decided to ask around the city and see what people thought of him.

Saburo- I don't really know what to think of him. He seems very childish I suppose.

Kyohei- Me neither. I'd think he wasn't much of a fighter if it wasn't for how he was around that Ryugamine kid. I got the impression there's more to him than what he appears.

Saburo- He usually has a bored but calm expression on his face. Even when he's saying something weird. It's majorly creepy.

Erika- He seems pretty cool! Pretty harmless if you ask me despite what people say. Lol. *Laughs* He seems funny to watch. I like the fact that he doesn't seem to care at all how inhuman he comes across to other people.

Kyohei- He seems socially awkward.

Saburo- Yeah, almost as though he's not used to talking to people. I can't imagine how that can be though. Then again, I only gathered what I could overhear from driving.

Walker- He's really weird. He tried to eat my manga! Mangas are just something you don't mess with! Also, like he doesn't blink like a normal person. I only see him blink when someone comments on that. It's not natural. I'm positive he's a demon or some other creature from another dimension. He can't be too bad if he likes manga though, as long as he stays away from mine for now on.

Erika- Yeah, well if he is a demon he's a very sexy one. I could totally picture him prying on the hearts of innocent human girls *blushes*

Kyohei- Don't mind those two. They're obsessed with manga, and don't view things as most would in the normal world. *whispers* They don't seem to be able to find the difference between reality and their anime worlds.

Saburo- He's never even heard of Ruri Hijiribe! I mean, how is that possible! To me at least, that's the least normal thing about him.

Mikado- We don't really know much about him.

Interviewer(Shuji Niekawa)-"But, he's been seen hanging around you three."

Mikado- Yeah, he has. But he's hard to read.

"What do you mean by read? Like his facial expressions?"

Mikado- Yeah, because usually he has an emotionless expression on his face. And when he does show expression, it's usually unpredictable what will bring that out. Like, he'll get really excited and jolly with anything pertaining to sweets or fighting. But if the fighting isn't exciting enough for him, he'll get bored again. Also, if someone says something minor about him.

Like say a harmless insult from Masaomi in fun, could instantly make him angry and threaten the life of the person who said it. There have been a few times I was afraid he was going to break one of Masaomi's bones. Although, during those times, Anri seems to be able to calm him down. Then he will go back to his bored and calm expression that is normally on his face.

Anri- *blushes*

(Interviewer)-"Why do you think Anri is the only one who can calm him down?"

*Mikado shrugs*

Anri-Uum, well I-I don't know…

Masaomi- Oh, come on! He totally has the hots for her. Although, I wish he didn't.

Anri- *blushes* Well, um-um I seem to have more of a respect for him than the others do. Like, he can tell I understand him more.

"Really? Well, you all seem to know more about him than you implied."

Mikado- *scratches back of head* Yeah, well I guess what I meant was that he was unpredictable. I personally am not sure what to make of that. I mean after all, he has been hanging out with us. Although, the main reason for that is because we're too nice to exclude him. Well, Anri and I are that is.

Masaomi- Hey!

Mikado- *Laughs* Well, am I wrong?

Masaomi-*Pauses* *Laughs* I suppose you might have a point there, Mikado. *Rubs Mikado's head playfully.* As for me though, I just do not trust him for one second. He tried to take Mikado's eye!

Anri- (quietly) Well, um-um. Officially I'd answer that he's cool, I-I guess. *Looks down**Twiddles thumbs on lap*

Masaomi- The main thing that throws me off about him is the fact he's been hanging out with that Izaya Orihara. The fact that Izaya appears to be looking out for him just tells me that Izaya is probably up to something. Nothing good ever comes from that. So, I try to keep some of a distance from him because I don't need to get caught up in something like that again.

Aoba- Ha ha. He's a very interesting character. I don't see much potential there, even with his clearly amazing strength.

"Wait, what did you mean by that?"

Aoba-*Pause* Um, did-did I say potential? *Scratches back of head**Laughs nervously*

Hmm, well that was a strange answer, the reporter thought to himself.

Mairu- *Is quiet for a moment**Fidgets nervously with hands*. Well…he's a very interesting character, that's for sure. He's definitely not very serious, although he never shows you with any expressions how he feels.

Kururi- Yeah..that-that part is almost relieving…

Mairu- But his care taker is extremely annoying and I don't like him!

"Is that so? Well, my sources have told me that the person he is staying with is your brother?"

Mai- *Blushes*Looks down* Yeah, well we are siblings after all. I don't have to like him.

"Did something happen regarding you, Amaimon, and your brother?

Mai-I don't want to discuss this anymore if that's okay with you. You should have gotten enough of an answer.

Kururi- *Shrugs* Um, well…I don't know. He seems alright. We haven't really talked.

Shizuo- Are you serious? Why on earth would I answer questions for you after you pried about my brother!? I don't even know who you're talking about anyways!

*shows picture*

Shizuo- *Slightly calms down* Oh yeah, that guy. He seems pretty shady if he's hanging out with that Flea! I mean, he's strong obviously. I don't even know what he is. If I were you, I'd be investigating more into that flea who ruins everything in this town! Maybe outing how much of a scumbag he is will protect everyone from falling victim to him again. Why?

Celty- [ He's kind of hard to describe. I think he's hiding something. Like, he tries to seem really strong, but on the inside is actually very vulnerable emotionally. Kind of like a certain info broker I know, but I wouldn't repeat that though. It would be denied anyways. That's just my opinion. Nothing of that sort has actually been admitted to me, and I don't know if it ever will be.]

Shinra- I can't say exactly what he is. I did treat him once as a patient though. There's not really much I can comment.

Namie- I know nothing about him! Izaya always keeps him away from me. It's really annoying. That's just simply what I have to deal with working for him. I get the feeling that guy is another one of his freaks though.

Izaya- *Laughs* I should have known you'd eventually be asking about him. I don't really know what I can say.

"But, witnesses have noticed that he goes home with you?

Izaya- *sighs* I suppose I should have known people would eventually figure that out. I don't know what I can say, because there's so much I could say. Although, given the job I have, I can't exactly reveal trusted info to the public. He's definitely well *smirks* interesting. And it has been very entertaining having him stay with me.

"I was interviewing your sisters earlier. Did something happen between you, one of your sisters, and Amaimon? I received weird answer and she wouldn't explain it to me."

Izaya -*Expression darkens slightly and subtly*

That's regarding a possibly personal matter. I do not wish to answer that. Since that has nothing to do with the topic you are investigating, you have no business prying like that. If you ever snoop like that again, you will very severely regret it.

I'm not just meaning of the personal business of myself and family, but the personal business of others. Some of which, you could seep into very dangerous territories in your line of work by asking certain people of topics like that. How's your daughter Haruna, by the way? Still missing?

It's really a shame that no one seems to be able to find her. I really hope she can be found. I also hope that there is someone who knows of her location, and would be willing to share since they would hopefully deem it worthy to share this vital information to her father who has been worrying about her.

The reporter is speechless for a moment.

(Still Izaya)-This is of course off the record, and I will deny it if you were to tell anyone. After all, no one else is here to confirm my words. I however have nothing else to share regarding your topic at hand. Have a good day Mr. Shuji Niekawa, and I bid you luck on the success of your article. The reporting career is after all such a difficult career to live off of. One which success depends on the reviews of people reading such as those who have influence over a large amount of the city and know a lot of information that could easily make or break them.

Keep that in mind in the future, and you should prosper well. After all, this city has a lot of things going on that most normal people aren't aware of. It would best for the safety of those people if they were to keep their noses out of those businesses. Especially if they're in a position where they could announce it to the whole city, which many shadowy people would not like very much. Please, act intelligently Mr. Niekawa. After all, I do love all humans and that would even include yourself.

The reporter was unsure of whether Mr. Orihara was threatening him or protecting him. Perhaps it was both.
