I dont own durarara!
Amaya and Reiko are my own characters and not from the serie.

Unlike that damned flea I hated these parts of Ikebukuro, the buildings almost falling over each other, sickening shapes reaching over my head, like broken spines, cracked and crumbling in the dark. Still i didn't have much of a choice.
I needed to know, and the best information broker in Ikebukuro was the only one I couldn't ask.
It was nothing more than a hole in the wall, fog and steam reaching out. Red lanterns failing miserably on giving the place a welcoming feeling, some almost out of order, buzzing angrily, as if fighting for their own life's. Ripped bartender chairs spitted out like teeth from an open mouth
[ Reiko ramen].
"What do you want?" A young kid asked, scuffed in between soup bowls and noodles, his electric green eyes watching me questioning while he played with a kitchen knife that looked misplaced and way too big in his small hands.
"I'll take the number 5..." I murmured, sitting down beside the desk."Also, I'd like to speak with Reiko."
"Sorry, Reikos not here."
"Say 'hi' from Shizuo and I think she will." I said lighting a cigarette.
The boy gave me a curious look- leaving a bowl with ramen i wouldn't touch with my bare hands- before leaving.
I sighed, breathing in the smoke deep down my lungs before letting it fill the night air.
I was here for one reason and one reason alone Amaya. A name that wouldn't stop ringing in my ears, together with the fleas haunted voice.
Damn it, I needed it to stop, I needed to get his voice out of my head!
Make sure that.. That it wasn't real, that it was all just a game, a play put together by that stupid flea to mess with my head, that it had all just been an act. Because I couldn't let myself believe that Izaya Orihara was human, it would mean that every punch and every blow had made him feel. Don't get me wrong, If I got the chance I would still beat the living crap out of him... It's just... Imagine your favourite character, strong, fighting and indestructible, image you meet him in real life and see the person behind the act... No, izaya was still the fucked up information broker, all I had to do was find him and make sure that he wasn't human and end his acts for good.
"Shizuo-" A voice, delicate and sweet like chocolate melting greeted me when the most beautiful woman in the world entered. Dark hair like a waterfall reaching down her waist, big, hypnotic impossible purple eyes, rich red lips. "I'm so sorry for the... Security but I am a wanted woman after all." She was perfection, even her small imperfections, her upper lip a bit curvier, her eyes too knowing, her face was like an open book, ready to be read, with the headline 'dangerous' written in graceful red letters.
"Reiko." I sighed." Gambling will be the death of you."
"Oh I hope so, I've never planned on being old... Olds dull, ugly. Old is what we are left with when life flew away, the last thing a woman will ever feel is old." She said, shooting me a breathtaking smile.
"I need information."
"Oh, Shizuo you used to be so much fun! Remember?We could talk for hours!" She frowned in played irritation."So, what can I assist you with?"
"Izaya Orihara, his missing, I think he got something big planned."
"Izaya Orihara..." A dangerous glint played in the corner of her eye."Hm, yes, that's a name isn't it?"
"Do you know what he's planning?"
"Me? No, he would never let me in on his games... For some reason I don't think he likes me... Hard to belive I know, never took an interest in silly little me...But I might know where he is."
"Tell me-"
"Ah-ah-ah, slow down now, first I need something from you...A favor."
"What kind of favor?"
She walked towards me, leaning on the desk with muscular arms, her skin flawless, she was wearing a black blouse, flattering on all the right places- nothing so beautiful would make It out of this world hole."First of all, no smoking in here-" she said while reaching forward, her face so close to my own that her eyelashes tickled me playfully. Her eyes hypnotic, a universe filled with stars, planets and mysteries, hiding in those purple orbs.
With a delicate hand she took the cigarette out of my mouth." This will kill you, you know..." She said while dragging in the smoke, blowing it out in my face. I ignored the stinging pain in my eyes and fought the urge of coughing.
"Second of all... It will come a day when I'll need something from you.." She fingered absentmindedly on my bow tie." And I hope that you will be ready when the time comes..."
I didn't hesitate."Fine, now tell me what i need to know."
She smiled fondly, backing away.
"Izayas losing."
"What the hell do you mean by that?"
"I mean that his being beaten in a game he never intended on playing." She said simply.
I looked at her for a second, trying to form my next question, thoughts like a big tangled mess, fighting in my mind.
"Amaya-"
"Ah... That's an interesting name, call her izaya's weakness, his death what ever you like..."
"How do 'you' know that name?"
"Walls have ears... Its my job. Men… and women usually tells me what i want to hear...Izaya thinks himself knowing the mind of mankind, maybe he does but you have to remember, Izaya doesn't consider himself human." She put the cigarette to her lips once more, ignoring my angry glare.
"We're is he -" she smiled while the sound of a gunshot pierce the night, like a broken mirror.
It followed by one more and It took everything with it, my breath, my thoughts.
"I guess you could say he has an appointment with the father of his creator."
I didn't know why but for the first time in my life I panicked, I stood up, the bartender chair falling behind me and the bowl with ramen was suddenly emptied on the street. That gunshot, it couldn't be… Izaya!
"WHERE!"
She rolled her eyes as if I was an annoying child she had to deal with.
"Down the road, 3 blocks away... Second to the left..."
Without knowing it I started running.
"You forgot to pay for the ramen!"
"Add it to my favour Yuki-Onna!"
I could hear her laugh behind me.
I felt something wet fall on my nose and looked up… Rain?
"The raven is falling, the snake have been crawling,
The night have been crying the raven is dying."
Her chocolate sweet voice nestled itself around the words. Giving me goosebumps down my back but I didn't stop, for some unknown reason I wouldn't stop running until I saw him, and I couldn't help to think that it would be with him covered in blood.
Damn it, I hurried my paste. I couldn't let him die without knowing... Knowing if he was human.
