The Mystery of Ikebukuro(Durarara!! Fanfic)(ON HIATUS)

Observations

FINALLY! Events are going to happen soon, man I can't wait.

...

I better not over dramatize it too much, that'll be bad.

I just hope you guys like Natsu's relationships to each of the characters as the story progresses.

Disclaimer: I don't own Durarara, nor the pictures on the cover or chapters. I only own my OC Natsu Orihara and the plot of this story.

---------------------------------------------

It came to be a pastime for Natsu to observe Shizuo from afar. From the hallway as they changed classes, when they got classes together(especially during P.E.), and when Shinra invited him to eat with them, which was her, Shinra, and Kadota-a somewhat cool and quiet boy in her classes. Their first meeting would be a little odd to anyone. It was during English class and the teacher told the students to work on class work together from last class. Natsu, already knowing almost the majority of her classmates from junior high and knew how they were, reached Kadota first and just sat down next to him. She sat by the window and just stared out from it in silence, after placing her already completed paper on her desk. You could say Kadota was a little bewildered.

"What are you doing?" Kadota asked with a curious raised eyebrow. He knew that she and her twin, Izaya, were renown amongst the school. He already was acquainted with Izaya, that guy seemed to know everything and be everywhere. But never once have they talked, granted though, he'd rather work with her from what he has observed from the quiet girl so far. Even though he already finished his class work as well.

"I'm watching someone." Natsu replied without taking her eyes of the window.

Kadota blinked.

"Who?" Kadota couldn't help but notice for awhile that his classmate has been transfixed on something outside the window, staring. It was just a mild curiosity, for Kadota wasn't much of a nosy person in the first place.

"Shizuo. Heiwajima." She stated blankly, still not taking her eyes off the window. Like she didn't say the most short-tempered and another renown person the whole school knew not to mess with. Unless you were an idiot or you didn't know who Heiwajima Shizuo was, which still makes you an idiot.

An oblivious idiot.

Kadota couldn't help but notice she didn't add a suffix or say his last name first. And Kadota couldn't help but think if this girl is a stalker that took liberties or something else. And Kadota believed in the latter more then the former, not seeing Natsu as a stalker type. Or perhaps she is, he doesn't know.

"Why?" He questioned.

Yes. Why is the indifferent and neutral faced girl that everyone saw her as suddenly has her attention on Shizuo?

"He's interesting."

It was such a simple and honest answer that it took Kadota a few seconds to take it in. He just nodded then, knowing that perhaps she would see it in the corner of her eye.

And for the first time, Natsu glanced at him, catching eye contact. Mocha met chocolate, and it seemed they both came to an understanding of the other as they looked at each other, reading them. Natsu gave a small nod back.

"Orihara Natsu." She formally introduced, a small pale hand coming towards him, waiting for his in turn.

Kadota let out a small smile and grabbed her hand and shook it.

"Kadota Kyohei."

And that's how they started their respectful and silent friendship. Their friendship was different from her's and Shinra's. While Shinra just talked and talked, while Natsu just listened and gave a few responses, her and Kadota's friendship was mostly just silence. Neither talking, just enjoying the other's company. At times they would start conversations to break the silence, but mostly just quiet atmosphere between the two was nice. It was nice to just be quiet with someone, especially when their lives came to be more hectic as time passed. Natsu, simply being the twin of Izaya, and Kadota, being part of the Blue Squares and dealing with his obnoxious but nice friends, Walker and Erika when he rescued them from a dark place.
