I told you that I'd make this chapter longer! And hey, I typed it faster then last time! (There might be more mistakes then usual because I kinda rushed. Sorry about that! If there are any misakes, please tell me!) This chapter is kind of setting up the next chapter, which will have much more zombie guts 'n stuff. Cx Oh, and Shizuo mught be a bit OCC, but I always thought of him as a leader type. xD

I don't have much to type, other then High School is really, really, REALLY boring. And my 15th birthday is twenty days from how. (September 21st. The day before fall begins. Yay.)

Disclaimer: I do not own Durarara! or any of it's characters. (I keep on forgetting to put this before every chapter.)

Tokyo Outbreak

Chapter Five: Anri's mad, for once.

"So, uh, what're you're names?" Shizuo randomly asked, as he finally sat down in who knows how long. Mikado, Anri, the knocked out Kida, Celty, and Shizuo quickly blocked the door to the random office they went into. Shizuo put Kida into a corner, he was still knocked out.

"Mikado Ryugamine … uh, you can call me Mikado." Mikado said, as he scratched his head, embarrassed that someone like Shizuo was asking for his name.

"I'm Sonohara Anri, or Anri." Anri said, getting a bottle of water out of a small refrigerator that she found. "Um, uh… Heiwajima-San, I think we've met… two times already."

"What?" Shizuo said, surprised. He didn't remember Anri, not like Shizuo remembers much.

"W-Whaaaat?" Mikado shouted, eyes wide from shock. "I-I- Whhaaaaaattt?"

【I do recall Shizuo saving Anri once, from these annoying pests. 】

"O-Oh, really?" Mikado said, silently glaring at Shizuo. He was obvious jealous of Shizuo. He got to save Anri after all! What Mikado really didn't know, was that he was the one who saved Anri, but he didn't know that inscident was tied together.

"Yeah. When Shizuo got shot by that thug who tried to take over the Yellow Scarves, Shizuo dragged himself to Celty-San and Shinra-San's house. He didn't remember me then, either." Anri said, blushing. She honestly found it cute that Shizuo didn't remember her, but she wouldn't care say that out loud, unless it was with Kida or Celty.

"O-Oh, u-uh, okay then." Mikado faked laughed, he was sure that everyone could tell that he was faking laughing.

After awhile of silence, Shizuo finally realized something. He didn't know Kida's name. "What's the idiot's name, exactly?"

"Huh? Oh, uh, Kida Misaomi." Mikado said, after looking at his pens. He was trying to think of ways to stab zombies in the eye.

"Yeah, idiot will do, for now. Unless he shows me that he has the balls to do something." Shizuo said, as calm as ever.

"W-Well, I don't think Kida-Kun will enjoy that very much. B-But whatever you say, Heiwajima-San!" Anri said, taking a drink of water. She really didn't want to bring up that Kida was hit in the head with a crowbar, because obviously that wouldn't be 'manly' enough to someone who got shot and didn't even realize it.

"Haaaaaaa… you're so mean, Heiwajima-Saaaaannnn!" Kida shouted, randomly. Everyone turned around and looked at Kida, who stood up and walked over to Shizuo. Hands on hips, and eyes full of sparkle. "Buuut, I guess I'm not manly enough for someone of your attitude."

"K-Kida-Kun? Are you alright? Are you sure that you should be standing up?" Anri shouted, jumping to her feet and going over to Kida.

"…" Mikado kind of had a feeling that Kida had been awake for awhile. Call it, 'Knowing Your Best Friend Too Well' instinct. He just remained silent, not wanting to get punched by Shizuo.

"I'm fine, Anrrri-Saaaan!~ I only just woke up when Shizuo said that I didn't have balls. Which I very much have, thank you very much!" Kida said, patting Anri's shoulder.

'You liar.' Mikado silently said to himself, shaking his head and sighing. Now Kida was bragging by how manly he is? Mikado didn't know any high school student who was manly, so he didn't even know why Kida was getting so worked up over this.

"… You're a terrible liar, idiot." Shizuo said, almost wanting to laugh at Kida, but didn't.

"Huh?" Anri said, confused. "K-Kida-Kun, what're you lying about?" Then, suddenly, it all came to Anri. Kida had been awake for a lot longer then what he said. But she didn't say anything; she didn't want anyone to get mad.

Celty took this opportunity to try and hold back her laughter, but couldn't. It looked like she was having a seizure. Mikado couldn't figure out why Celty was laughing so hard, so he just left her alone and continued to watch the Kida, Shizuo, and Anri comedy routine.

"I… uhhh… kind of lied." Kida said, in a small voice. "I've been awake for more than twenty minutes."

"…" Anri's mouth started to tremble. She wanted to say something to Kida, but no works came out.

Shizuo figured that now was the best time as any to think of a plan to get out of Ikeburuko. Somehow. "So, uh, anyone have any plans to get out of this crazy city?"

Celty stopped her sudden laugh attack, and took out her cell phone. 【I was thinking of going over to my place to check up on Shinra. That was the original plan, until I started worrying about you Shizuo, and Anri was thirsty. So, we kind of made a slight detour.】

"Yeah, but since the 'Undead' are getting stronger, and your motorcycle can only hold two people, that plan is totally ruined now." Mikado sighed after he said all of this. They were never going to get out of Ikeburuko. "And Celty-San can't seem to protect us from stronger 'Undead' now, which sucks."

"How far away is your apartment, Celty-San?" Kida said, looking out the window. It was almost getting time for the sun to set, it'd get dark soon.

【Not too far away, but it may take up to two or four hours just to get there. We don't have that kind of time either, it's almost sundown. 】

"So, what will we do from here? We can't go out right now, that'd just be stupid." Shizuo said, clearly thinking about this seriously.

"I-I guess we'd have to stay here for the night." Anri said, sighing. "At least there's water here. No food, but it's not like I'm hungry anyway."

"What I want is new clothes, but I don't want to go all the way to closest clothes store, and buy, well more like steal, new clothes." Kida said, taking a look at his now bloody uniform. It was really starting to smell, it was just caked with blood, and sweat. Kida really didn't like being all smelly and dirty.

Anri took part of her hair, smelled it, and belched. It was awful! What she wouldn't give for a long, hot bath right now. But, that had to wait until tomorrow, it made Anri all the more mad right now. First, zombies invading Ikeburuko and (possibly) other parts of the world, not just Japan. Second, zombies trying to attack her and her friends. Third, getting all covered in blood and sweat. Fourth, finding out that the zombies are getting stronger, and Celty isn't warding them off anymore. Fifth, Anri was starting to get really, really, really mad. She isn't normally like this, but when the world is being invaded by hungry zombies, stress gets to you.

Anri balled her fists up, and punched the nearest desk. Everyone, but Shizuo he was too busy thinking, turned and looked at Anri. After realizing what she did, Anri jumped back, and looked surprised. She had punched a wooden desk so hard, that it broke in half. "U-U-Uh, I-I-I'm s-s-soooo sorry!"

"Ummm, that's okay, Anri-Chan." Kida said eyes wide from shock. He's never seen Anri go off like this. Then again, she did look very stressed out. She had to let it go somehow. Punching a desk so hard that she broke it in half was as good as punching the wall. Since, clearly, Anri didn't know her own strength.

Out of nowhere, Shizuo stood up, and patted Anri's shoulder. "Good work, uh… Anri?"

"U-U-Uh… T-T-Thank you, H-Heiwajima-San." Anri was surprised that Shizuo congratulated her. Maybe this was his way of calming her down? Or maybe Shizuo was just impressed that a girl of Anri's size could punch a desk in half.

"Why are you congratulating Sonohara-San for punching a desk in HALF?" Mikado said, confused as to why Shizuo said that.

"Huh. Oh, well, she needs some cheering up. That's all." Shizuo shrugged. "I'm not good at cheering up people, so I just complement them. Or just yell at them to be more aggressive and let out their feelings more."

Celty giggled as she typed something up on her cell phone and showed it to Shizuo. 【Or, if they get on your nerves, you just throw something at them, or punch them. Right? 】

Shizuo grumbled something under his breath. Celty knew him too well, at times. "Well, that too."

"So, where do we exactly sleep?" Mikado asked, looking around. They couldn't sleep on the desks, and the floor was all bloody and gross looking. Their uniforms were dirty enough. The rest of the rooms were likely just filled with office supplies.

"On the chairs, I guess? Though, it'd be hard to get comfortable. These chairs don't exactly look that soft." Kida said, testing out one of the offices chairs by plopping down in one. "Okay, they're really hard. I don't know if I can sleep on this!"

"They're the best things we've got, for now anyway, idiot. Someone has to take turns keeping watch for the night." Shizuo said as he stood up and looked around. "I'll keep watch first, I guess."

Anri raised up her hand slowly. "I-I guess I'll keep watch." Truthfully, she was very tired, but she didn't want the others to suffer. Mikado especially, he looked like he was going to die when the zombies first started attacking them.

"No, you're going to get some sleep. You've gone through a lot today." Shizuo pointed you. Anri never saw this side of Shizuo, though she normally saw his aggressive side. Anri slowly shook her head, and sat down in an office chair.

【I guess I'll do it. I don't need as much sleep as these guys do, anyway.】Being a Dullahan, Celty didn't need as much sleep as a human. And really, sometimes her nightmares made her so scared, that she's wake up and not go back to sleep. They were either about aliens taking over the world, or insane motorcycle cops chasing her.

"Okay, it's settled then." Shizuo sat down on the dirty floor, and started to take watch. "I'll have the first shift. Celty has the second."

Mikado got up and sat down on one of the office chairs. As he was falling asleep, Mikado really hoped that they got to Celty's apartment safely tomorrow.

Izaya's plan failed, not like that was going to succeed anyway. Now he was just spinning in his office chair, bored to death. Sometimes he'd sing that he was bored, or ask Namie useless questions over and over again. It got to the point where Naime was answering his questions.

"Hey, hey, hey, Naime. Do you think every human out there is dead, besides us?" Izaya randomly asked, as he was drawing something in a notepad that he picked up off of his desk.

Thinking over it, since Izaya finally gave a good question, Namie replied quickly. "No, I don't think so. There are some humans out there that are well prepared for stuff like this."

"Oh, yeah. Those, 'The government is out to get me!' freaks that everyone seems to hate. Besides me, somehow they're right. The government is always out to get you." Izaya cheerfully said. "It doesn't matter how athletic you are, I'm sure that there's fat otakus fighting zombies with just weak guns right now, it matters how smart you are in this kind of situation."

"… True, I have to agree with you there, Izaya." Naime said, finishing her dinner. This consisted of a piece of cheese cake that was in Izaya's small office refrigerator. She doesn't know how Izaya is so skinny, when all that she's seen him eat is sushi and sweets. High metabolism? In a way, Namie was jealous of Izaya.

"Then there are people like Sonohara Anri, Kida Misaomi, and Ryugamine Mikado. Granted, Mikado-Kun is smart, but not smart enough to live through this outbreak. Same with Misaomi-Kun, and Anri-Chan. What Mikado-Kun does have however, are two very trusting friends who'd die for him." Izaya said, now going crazy with his drawing. Swishing his pen all over the place on his notepad, Izaya clearly, was having fun drawing.

Confused, Naime was wondering why Izaya was having so much fun drawing. She never saw him draw, much less have fun drawing. Naime brushed off that question, and made another question. One concerning what Izaya just said. "I know that Mikado's one friend, Anri, has powers beyond even your control. But what about Mikado's other friend, Misaomi? What kind of power does he have?" Naime knew that Kida was the former head of the famous gang, The Yellow Scarves, but he couldn't have had the power to fight off the zombies. Or did he?

"Ah, but Naime, he is. Misaomi tried to take a punch at me once. He failed, only because I dodged it. However, recently he did get a crowbar thrown at his head and he survived!" Izaya laughed like a maniac, while drawing like a true psycho would. "Don't underestimate Misaomi-Kun's strength; he's very powerful for his age, Naime."

"Okay, whatever you say, Izaya." Naime didn't really care about those three teenagers that Izaya had an interest in. "Izaya, do you mind if I sleep one your couch?" Naime asked, hoping that Izaya wouldn't make her sleep on the floor. There were a few couches. He couldn't possibly hog them all to himself. Could he?

"Sure. Just make sure you don't drool on them!" Izaya said, finishing his drawing. Looking content with himself, Izaya held up the notepad, and showed it to Naime. "What do you think, Naime? It's a masterpiece, right?"

Naime wasn't exactly sure why, but Izaya drew Anri, Kida, Mikado, and Celty, all holding hands. It looked like he crossed out Shizuo at the last minute, which might explain why he was drawing like a maniac for a moment there. Naime had to admit, Izaya was a good artist, but not good enough. She had very refined tastes when it came to art. "Er… it's surprisingly good?"

"I know it is." Izaya said, giggling like a school girl. "I hope that they all, excluding Shizuo, save the world from these monsters. So I can hug them all!"

Naime came to the conclusion that Izaya was going mad. Usually he acted like a school girl on chatrooms and that, but never in real life. Unless it was just to tease someone. Rubbing it off, Naime laid down on one of Izaya's couches, and fell asleep by Izaya's office chair swinging around and around.

"I wonder what tomorrow will bring…" Izaya said, as Naime finally went to sleep. "I hope that I won't go mad with boredom, like I'm doing right now."

Again, thank you for all the wonderful comments everyone! Cx

chibicherry3: I couldn't handle 14 foot zombies myself either. I'd get so freaked out, that I'd run as fast as I could away from them! xD Thank you for the comment.

Kimitara: Nah, Shizuo just likes throwing very expensive cars at zombies, if all. It's more fun that way, am I right? xD I guess you could call left 4 Dead 1 and 2 a RPG, in a way. The characters do have personalitys, which so many popular videos games, like Modern Warfare 2, are missing. Oh, and thank you for the comment. 3

imaginedreams22: No, more like a dream of all 27 of the hamsters that I had, rolled up into one huge hamster. xD (I have no idea why my dreams are so strange either.) And yeah, Anri does kind of seem OCC, now that I look at it, but she's the complete opposite of me, so it's hard to get her personality correct. D; Thank you for the comment!
