Träumerei (Daydreams)
Chapter 1 : Re;
One half year
One half year had passed since that day... The day where Ikebukuro fell into big chaos and near destruction
One half year... That much time has passed since that day. The day that shook the lives and even took some of those who lived in, Ikebukuro the city that full of urban.
One half year... Since the place never felt the same ever again. Those who've only stepped in the busiest city would never experience Ikebukuro as it was one half year ago. Sure, the city already recovered from the destruction.
The damage that caused by the 'chaos' that night almost recovered as if it never even happened. Some people even become skeptical at how quickly the government to be able to fund the repairs, but after a while no one bother to asked
For those who played a role in that chaosed night knew that while the city was now back to normal, it would never be the same place again.
Everyone's lives went back to normal after all riot that happen that day. Ryuugamine Mikado had to spend a few months more in the hospital after he woke up from his coma, he returned to school with Kida Masaomi and Sonohara Anri plus Mikajima Saki who decide to start school with them in Raira academy.
Their classmates greeted them, blissfully unaware of their part in the prior chaos. Of course the Dollars, the Yellow scarves, the Blue square and even the Saika childs still pretty much exists, but for now the fourth of the are just happy to be back to where they started… Peaceful and Harmonious coexistence.
After Mikado awake Kuronuma Aoba came infront Mikado and asking forgiveness, Mikado really happy to know that Aoba braven himself for asking that, so he doesn't had any problem in giving him forgiveness
But, the story's little different with Kida and Anri. They certainly didn't like how Mikado could forgive Aoba that easily despite everything he had done to Mikado. After alot of effort in proving himself slowly but surely Kida and Anri accept him and forgive him for all his fault
Kururi and Mairu keep stay in the city and went under the tutelage of Sharaku Mikage after Izaya disappeared, they were getting along quite well with Awakusu Akane.The twins who always claim to hate Izaya, now hoping that someday her brother will come back. They admitted that despite everything Izaya had done, he's still their brother and they cared for him.
The same goes for Kishitani Shinra, despite how evil and bad Izaya is... H e still one of his bestfriend and Shinra always grateful how Izaya would hide Celty head without telling the dullahan. That's why, he asked almost every of his acquaintance to search any information about the informant broker. Unfortunately, up until now he hasn't find any clue where Izaya is but he never going to gave up, because this time he would never leave the informant
He and Celty sturluson also returned to their apartment where they lived in together, their love for each other growing more and more after the circumstances. The dullahan didn't even protest when Shingen proposed to take her head with him to Chicago for study.
She was already happy and contented with her life now, with the man who accepted her for who she was and loved her despite not having a head. She was grateful Shinra made her realize this was where she truly belonged.
She still works her usual job as a courier and of course the legend of the headless rider is still famous to everyone in Ikebukuro, though for Celty Sturluson, it was her life and she was happy with it. Sometimes she help Shinra to search where Izaya is, driving all around the city sometimes she drive outer city. She didn't like Izaya, she hates him but she also know that everyone deserve a second chance.
As for Yagiri Namie, she decide to accept the offer from Shingen and go to Chicago with him to study the dullahan head. She didn't know where his ex-boss is and even though he is just an asshole who like playing with other people, she still cared for him because she know how lonely he is, that's why she willing to help Shinra using her skill whenever she have the time. Of course it's isn't easy, but she didn't gave up nor everyone
Her relationship with Seiji still the same and now, she's start getting along with Harima Mika. She even let her brother and his girlfriend to go to America to catch her even though she wouldn't gave him the dullahan head.
Kadota Kyohei and his gang still the same as ever, but there's something different about him. It was his relationship with Izumii Ran, Kyohei know it's not good thing to betray Izumii Ran that's why he decided to apologize and to his shock, Izumii forgave him and apologize too, their relationship getting better day by day. Erika and Walker keep blabbering about Anime almost everytime. It really made Kyohei and Saburo frustating everyday
They also helping Shinra to find the informant, they will drive all around Tokyo and search for any news or rumour bout him, sometimes they will contact their underground friend to help too.
Rokujo Chikage now mostly seeing wondering around Ikebukuro with his harem, he still the leader of Toramaru but they decide to keep the peace and enjoy his life. He also keep contact with Kyohei and his gang, sometimes they also hang out together
Haruya Shiki continue working as one of Yakuza executives, sometimes he worked with the headless rider. After the disappeared of the informant, it's make him doesn't hav any choice but to work with Shinra to find any clue about where he is him, he uses every connection he have but no avail
Akabayashi start contacting Anri more often, it made them getting close to each other. He feel he have resposibility to take care the daughter of the woman he love, and it's also the reason he keep threat Kida and Mikado to look after Anri, it sure disturb both of them.
Heiwajima Shizuo went back to working with Tanaka Tom as a debt collector, now after Vorona and Sloan went back from Russia. According to Vorona, she and Sloan already cleared their problem with Vorona father, that's why they decide to came back.
She also start to help Shizuo and Tom with the work, while Sloan decide to work in Russian sushi along with Dennis and Simon. Tom and Vorona getting closer to each other. And one day, they decide to announce their relationship, Shizuo really happy about it just like the other too
Heiwajima Kasuka and Hijiribe Ruri are getting closer day by day, they even planning to go engage when they reach enough age. Kasuka and his brother spend alot time than before, both of them will dinner together or watch some movie. Sometimes Ruri will tag along. Yeah, it might not easy but they keep try to make their life better
One half years...
It's been one half years and everyone has moved on and were all continue their lives again.
Well…Almost everyone.
It was beautiful day in Ikebukuro, the cherry blossom blossom and falling to the street, some of them got blowing by the wind, Mikado look at it with a smile on his face, his already charge from hospital and today was his first day in school after holiday
"Ryuugamine-kun" he turn around to see Anri standing there, a faint of blush start appear on his cheek when he realize Anri turn into beautiful girl "Someone in love, his name is Ryuugamine Mikado~" a teased sang coming from behind him, Mikado known better than anyone who is this voice belong to
"Masaomi, stop teasing me like that" he turn and see his bestfriend standing right there with a Raira spring uniform, beside him stood a girl named Saki "Good morning, Saki. You finally decide to go to school too, i'm really happy" say Anri
"Yeah, i guess it's time for me to go to school again. But, this uniform embarass me" she say while keep pulled the skirt more down "It's okay, you'll get used to it" say Anri "Let's go them" Kida start walking but Mikado stop him "We have to wait for two person" he say "Who?" ask the blond kid "Oh! Good morning everyone, your favorite Yoshimune Miyoshi is here~" greeted the reddish-brown haired male "Miyoshi, long time no see. I'm so happy that you decide to start go back to school" Kida greeted
"After all that's happen i decide to start going to school again" he said while rubbed the back of his head "You said we wait for two, right? Who's the last person?" ask the blond "Well, you'll know when he hear but when you see him please hold back your anger" he said
"I got a bad feeling for this person" when Kida said that a familiar voice called Mikado and they turn around to see "Mikado-senpai" Aoba with the Orihara twin walk together "Why is he here?" ask Kida clenched his fist
He still couldn't forgive the fact that Aoba was using Mikado for his own benefits but he still trying "Masaomi, calm down. You have to know that he already change and he also apologize to me for what happen even though we couldn't blame him, part of it were my own decision" he said
Aoba look toward Kida "What?" he ask, the younger student bow his head "I'm sorry for what happen, i'm really aware that i'm the one who have to be blamed. I used Mikado-senpai kindness amd make him do something terrible.
But, i'm really sorry for what happen and if you would gave me another chance" before Aoba finish his sentence, Kida sighed "You don't have to bow like that, it makes me feel old. Beside what's in the past is past, we have to move on now" he said
"Kida-senpai" Aoba looked at him with a happy eyes "Ugh, don't look at me like you falling for me. Unfortunately i have Saki now" he said while swung a hand to Saki shoulder "Geez" is all Saki could say when she sees how her boyfriend act like a little kid "Guys, we didn't want to bother this dramatic scene but the bell already rang five minutes ago" say Mairu, the other twin nodded "We already late" he said calmly, there's a silence between them until Masaomi and Mikado looked each other
"We gonna late for the first day of school" they yelled while start running toward Raira academy followed by the other student "Geez, we shouldn't gor carrying like that" shout Miyoshi "Well, we have to run if we didn't want Akatsuji-sensei to torturing us" say Kida
The raven haired woman slammed some document to her desk "Geez, that gas mask really annoying, much more annoying than Izaya. I should just killed him" she grumbled without realizing the gas mask man standing behind her "Ah, don't be like that Yagiri-san. I'm here you know and we have so much work to do plus i need your talent to help me" he say "Shut up, because of you i can't go with my dear Seiji" she cooed "Oh, didn't your brother Seiji are with that woman... They are go to honeymo-" before Shingen could finish his sentence Namie choked him "Don't you dare say that or i'll break your neck" she grunted
"You are doing that right now, you have to let me go or I'll seriously died" he said, Namie let him go while huffed "You really are a scary woman" he muttered "Hah? Got a problem with that?!" she retorded "No no, of course not" he say while lift his hand in defend "But, do you think they will find it? The head..." he say "I don't know, but they would never stop until they find it" she reply, Shingen sighed in defeat "Your brother really love that head so much. I'm gonna visit my son now" he said while walk out from the room, Namie grunted once more when she hear it "Yeah, he did love that head" she mumble
"Seiji-kun, look over there. That's building look really beautiful, oh i'm really happy i could go here with you, there's so much thing i haven't seen and it's really different than any city in Japan. I'm really happy" say Mika happily, she circling her hand to Seiji while both of them walk down on New York city sidewalk "Yeah, i'm really happy and thanked that you want to come with me. I would be lonely if you hadn't come here with me" he say "Don't say like that, i'm really happy i could help you Seiji-kun and be with you" she said while snuggling closer, the taller man smilled to see her action
The blond looking toward the cherry blossom, exhale some smoke, he were waiting for his boss to start work "Shizuo" he turn around and see his boss walking together along with a russian woman "Sorry, did you wait here too long?" he ask while try to catch his breath
"Nah, i just got here" he say while throw the cigarette to the pavement and step on it "Good morning, Shizuo-senpai" greeted the russian woman "Good morning, Vorona" he greeted back, apparently Vorona already come back from Russian with Sloan. She start working with Tom again while Sloan working with Simon and Dennis in Russian Sushi "Then, let's start our work today" say Tom start walking, his word earn a nodded two of his underlings "How about your wound, Shizuo-senpai?" she asked
"It's fine, now. Don't worry about it" he say, the blond woman nodded "That's good, knowing how danger your fight that night" she said, when they walked they passed the same building where Shizuo had his last fight with the informant broker He stopped and sees the building "What's wrong?" ask Tom who realize when the blond stopped in his track, the blond shook his head "It's nothing" he say while start walking again "Hey... Um, sorry to ask you but... Do you know how-"
"The flea condition?" he finished the sentencewhilel shrugging "Dunno, i try to search for him on my friend house but it's looks like he didn't go there. But with that wound there's no way he would go to hospital so i guess he go to another underground doctor" he say "Shizuo-senpai, are you feeling guilty? I could see your face show a guilt and sadness. Are you sad because you can't finish him? Or are you feeling guilty because you beat him?" she asked with her emotionless face "Well, i do feel guilty and sad but i don't know for whom. It is for me or for him, that's the part i don't know" he say, Vorona looked like she thinking but Tom intterupt them "Well, what's in the past is past, we have to move on. Beside we have job to do" he said "Yeah, you right Tom" he said 'Even though i couldn't move on without' he thought

"I like them but, my fujoushi instinct ship Zach and Edward more" she chirped "Eh, but didn't both of them man?" ask Walker "That's the amazing part of it, didn't you see. BL is one of the seven wonderful of the world. I could imagine them how they do it" exclaim Erika "Geez, you should try to stop imagine something like that again. It's disgusting" Saburo complained "Eh, but if you think carefully i bet you would agree with me" she say "Hell no, i wouldn't want to become homo. All i dreaminng of is to talk with Hijiribe Ruri" he exclaimed
"Could you guys please calm down, you guys act like a child?" ask Kadota "Oh, Kadota" the beanie man turn around to see Chikage with some of his harem "Hei, Chikage. What's up? It weird to see you here in Ikebukuro" he ask
"I just came to see how the situation going on after that night" he say "Well, things got better now, at least Ikebukuro become peace after that day" replied Kadota "What about him? Did he survive? As long as i could remember, when the light bomb's gone. He also gone right"
As if he know who Chikage refering to he just nodded "I come to visit Shinra just to see if he was there or not, but it turn out he wasn't there and never been there" reply Kadota, they could hear Erika squealing from behind them "Kadota X Chikage, why i never thought about it" she yelled "What she mean by that?" ask Chikage while tilted his head "Just ignore her, okay" say Kadota while sighed "By the way, have you check the hospital?" he ask again, Kadota raised his eyebrow "Do you woried about him?" ask the beanie man "Well, i don't really know him but i guess what he get that night wasn't worth, as for me" he said, Kadota sighed "Yeah, i know he's smart person but to actually try to kill Shizuo, even insane people know it would impossible" he said
"Pretty weird, huh" Kadota shrugged when he hear Chikage comment "I don't know Izaya very well and i'm kinda agree with you about he's deserved it or not but it doesn't mean i'm justify what he's doing" he added "Always take a neutral side" he chuckled, and once again they could hear Erika squealed from behind Saburo "OH MY GOD, what amazing threesome!!! Dotachin love Rocchi but he love Iza-iza and it got twisted because Iza-iza love Dotachin. Love TRIANGLE" she yelled
Walker immediately grab her and cover her mouth "Just ignore her, okay" Saburo said, Kadota sighed "Geez, you guys... Really" he say, Chikage chuckled "I'm sorry, Karisawa-san. But i like boobs better than flat chest, unfortunately Dotachin doesn't have it" he mocked
"You really-" Chikage laughed then walk away from the van gang as for Erika... She was passed out when Chikage 'tease' Kadota "Geez, this town already in peace but you guys still the same" he grumbled earn a chuckle from Saburo and Walker. Kadota who looked out frowned when he sees Kasuka car just passed them, and he could see clearly that he was with his girlfriend "There's no way i'll become otaku like you two, my love just for Hijiribe Ruri" Saburo stated "You should just gave up, you have a hard rival" Kadota muttered
"It is okay?" ask the idol toward her boyfriend who currently sit beside her while driving "What do you mean by that?" ask Kasuka with his usual poker face, Ruri looked toward her hand that she placed on her lap she keep silence until "Didn't you have a shoot today?" The actor shrugged "I want to spend today with you beside today is your day off, right? I want to use this free time" he said, the raven haired girl nodded "So, where are we going now?" she asked "Find my brother" replied Kasuka, after that Ruri didn't say a single word because she believe Kasuka had a good plan
After riding all around Ikebukuro for a hour, they finally spotted the blond with his comrade. He stopped infront of the blond and open the window "Nii-san" he say, the blond turn his head and confussion written all over his face "Kasuka" he mumbled then approach his car "What's wrong? Didn't you have a shoot today?" he asked, the brunette shook his head "Today is Ruri dsy off, so i'm planning to spend today with her" he said, Ruri leaned on "Hello, Heiwajima-san" she greeted, the blond nodded
"Did you need something from me?" he asked, the brunette nodded once again "I need your apartment key" he said bluntly, the ex-bartender tilted his head "My key? What for?" he ask "I don't want anyone intterupt me with Ruri, no one would thought i'll be on your apartment including my manager and her manager" he said made the ravenette woman beside him blushed "Beside, i just want to watch a movie with Ruri. But i'll be gone when you get back" he add, the ex-bartender nod "Nah, if you want to stay a little bit longer don't mind it. I'll gave both of you privacy" he spoke then duck his hand to his pocket to take a key with a key chain that have a stop sign shape
Kasuka took the key "Thanks, nii-san" he said then drive away "Kasuka?" he turn around and see Tom holding two cup of coffee on his hand and Vorona follow behind him "Is he need something?" ask the dark skinned man while handed one of the coffee Shizuo took it and then they start walk again "Well, apparently Kasuka runaway from his shoot and planning to spend today with his girlfriend, he ask my apartment key to watch some movie on my apartment" explain the blond
"Hm, he's really in love maybe it's your time to loosen up" he suggested, the blond tilt his head "About what?" he ask while Vorona keep watching them from behind "About woman of course but if i hadn't wrong, you are Bi right?" he asked The blond shrugged "Well, for me gender wasn't a problem but i haven't think about it" he replied bluntly "Come on, Shizuo. You're already 24, you need to try to find a girlfriend or boyfriend" he said "Don't be so ridiculous, there's no one out there want to be with me. They scared of me" he say "No, senpai. There's other people who didn't scared of you" said Vorona
"Right? You just have to try it" insist Tom "Alright, i'll think about it" he replied "Shizu-o" he could hear a thick dialect, he look lift his head and see Simon standing infront of the Russian Sushi with a new employee "Sloan" greeted Vorona "Oh, Vorona. Are you in the middle of work?" ask the ex-russian assassin, the blonde woman nodded "How's your day?" she ask "Perfect, it's like i'm really born to work here with Simon and Dennis" he say with a huge smile "Don't exaggerate like that, we really happy you are here to help us" the black skinned man said, Tom glance toward his watch "Look at the time, we still have a job guys" he exclaim "See you, Sloan" say Vorona "Have a nice day, don't fight. Fighting is no good" Simon shouted
"It sure really peace lately" say a certain Yakuza "Isn't that good? Do you hate peace, Akabayashi-san?" ask the little girl who stood beside him "It's not something like that, Lady Akane. Peace is good but it's kinda boring" he said, the little girl tilted her head "Akabayashi, don't put a weird idea like that on Lady Akane mind" said a man who sit on the fountain behind them "I'm not put any weird idea, i just try to explain what it mean by a peaceful who bring tedious" he smirked
"Oh yeah, do you heard any news about the informant-kun?" the red devil asked "Dunno, i haven't contact him yet" replied Shiki "Are you sure you want to let it go that talented informant?" he ask with grinned "Well, he left me with no choice. I guess neither of us could ever fully tame him" he chuckled "Yeah, i guess you right" say Akabayashi, Shiki sighed "Shizuo onii-chan" exclaim Akane while running toward the blond with ex-bartender suit "Akane-chan" the blond mumble and little shock when the little girl hugging his leg "I'm really miss you"
"Hey, there. Take it easy" he chuckled as he bent down and ruffle the little girl hair "What are you doing here?" he ask "I just want to walk around with Akabayashi-san and Shiki-san" reply Akane, Shizuo stiffened and look toward two guy that standing behind Akane
The blond take a deep breath then looking toward his boss "Senpai, can i have a minutes?" he ask, Tom feel confused by Shizuo sudden favor but he agreed "Just don't take long" he said, the blond nodded as reply
He walk toward the guy who wear white suit "Are you the one named Shiki from Awakusu-kai" he ask, the older male raised his eyebrow, this is his first time to talk with Ikebukuro strongest man and he never thought the day would come, he nodded. "Could we have a talk? Just the two of us?" he ask, Shiki was taken back by the sudden request, he glance toward Akabayashi who gave him a shrug, he sighed "Okay, let's talk about it somewhere else" he say, the blond nod
Both of them walked toward the fast-food restaurant near them, Shiki order a black coffee while Shizuo order a strawberry milkshake "I never thought you would order something sweet like that" the older man said as he look at the blond glass that full of pink liquid "I just have a sweet teeth" reply the blond, it was true that he have a sweet teeth. He really like a sweet things despite his scary appearance and reputation no one would ever dare to thought about it or even talk about it
"So, did you need something from me, Heiwajima-kun?" he ask, the blond shocked when the older male already know his name "How did you-" he was gonna ask about it but he was cut off by Shiki "Do you think i won't check your background when you this close with Lady Akane?" The blond nod in understanding "So, did you need something from me?" he ask again "I'm wondering what are they talk about inside?" ask Akane who waiting outside the restaurant with Akabayashi
"That's a conversation between a grown male, Lady Akane. So you wouldn't understand even though i'm telling you" he said while ruffling the little girl head "Geez, i'm really curious now" she pouted and the older male laughing to see her action
'Well, they must be talking about informant-kun' he thought "I heard that you work with the fle- i mean Izaya, is that true?" he ask with serious tone, there's a silence but Shiki answered "Yeah, you can call it like that.
He work for me as my informant, you already got your answer. Now this is my turn to ask something toward you" the blond little tensed because he already can guess what Shiki would ask toward him 'Why are you even asking me that?" he ask
"I... It's... I want... If you work with him then you must be know where or how is he condition, right?" he ask, honestly Shiki was a little bit surprised by the blond question, he of all people come to Shiki just want to ask how or where is his arch-enemy, is they even enemy? "Interesting, may i know why do you want to know about it?" he inquired "I... I just feel responsible for what happen, that's all" Shiki raised his eyebrow "Are you sure it's just the feeling of guilt? Because i sense something else here" he say while grinned
"I don't know what are you talking about" he try to denied but Shiki only narrowed his eyes
"Kid, you have to know that i'm more older than you and from the experience i have in my life, i could easily know that you were lying to me. So tell me the real answer" he say coldly
"I don't know about it but what i feel is guilty, nothing else. That's why i ask you if you know anything about Izaya" Shizuo know that Izaya must be already dead or fell into coma somewhere in this world, but even though he know about it, he just want to make sure
Because this past one half year, he's really dying wanting to know how the informant condition right now, is he a live or not, Is he awake or coma, how much Shizuo success to break him and would Izaya be able to stay strong
This question has been appear in the blond mind and it's slowly drive him crazy"What kind of answer will satisfy you, Heiwajima-kun?" the blond look at the Yakuza with confused face, Shiki chuckled "You want to hear the bad news first or the good one?" he ask "The good one, please" he said "I don't know where Izaya is but there's a big chance he still alive" he tolf Shizuo
"And the bad news?" ask the blond "The bad news is... I'm sorry but, that's all i know" a smile start forming on the Yakuza face "Did you care about him?" his sudden question made the blond choked on his own drinks "Don't get the wrong idea just because i asked how is he" he growled Shiki smiled "He'll surely come back here but he don't know when exactly he would setting his foot here" he said "Thank you for the information, Shiki-san. I'm really appreciate it" after that he stood up and excuse himself
"So what do you guys talking about?" ask Akabayashi who waiting infront of the restaurant "He's asking about Izaya" reply the other male "Like i thought" Akabayashi bragged "It surely wasn't hatred if he ask me about Izaya" mumbled Shiki
"Well, they say Hate is the ultimate shape of love" the one eyed man say "Such a twisted feeling" comment Shiki "For a twisted person" add Akabayashi, Shiki laughed when he hear that "Akabayashi-san, Shiki-san. Let's eat some ice cream" cooed Akane
"Tch, Akatsuji-sensei such a demon" Kida complained as he and his friend walk down on Ikebukuro sidewalk "He just doing his job" Saki try to calmed him down "But to think he will torturing us like that, he's really a demon" say Mairu "Yes, demon" add Kururi "We just running around the field, guys" say Mikado while sighed "My leg will definitely hurt tomorrow" Aoba said "Yeah, i guess i'll skip school tomorrow. I can't take it anymore" say Kida dramatically "Masaomi, it's a first day school. You can't skip tomorrow no matter what happen"
Mikado scold him "Yeah yeah, you really same like Akatsuji-sensei. Do you guys by any means related?" he teased "Masaomi" the younger blond chuckled "Isn't that Celty-san?" ask Anri pointed toward the black rider
"Yeah, she look rushed" comment Kida, but then a lot of police follow her "I guess, i know why she in rushed" say Anri, the other laughed "Celty-san never change" Kida say wipe some tears from his eyes "Yeah" Mikado agreed
'This is bad, this is bad, this is bad' the dullahan thought 'Why this cops never leave me alone?! They even didn't scared of my shadow, what a scary human' she take a sharp turn but the police keep following behind her 'What should i do?' she thought and keep taking a sharp turn to escape from the cops. After two hours, she finally escape from the cops and get back home "Welcome back, Celty" greet her fiance "What happen?" Shinra's really good at reading his fiancee face even though she didn't have any head [The cops chasing me around the city again]
She plopped to the couch feel exhausted "Well, they just doing what they thought is right" he say while took a seat beside her [It exhausted me] she say through her PDA "Well, it's nice to see you my daughter in law" they could hear a familiar voice coming from behind them
The dullahan stiffened when she sees the insane scientist a.k.a Shinra father, Shingen. Standing behind them [Why is he here!] Shinra chuckled nervously "You see, my father say he just want to visit" he replied
Yeah, Ikebukuro become peaceful city now... But, something in the dark are planning something and it never good
