A Devil In Disguise (A Durarara and Bungou Stray Dogs crossover)

Chapter 12

I walked towards my best friend only to notice a new and younger figure right beside him. I wasn't able to say anything or even greet him as Dazai jumped to hug me to death. "Itoooo!!! Ito, Ito, Ito-chan~~ I am so happy to see you!!!"

I smiled and hugged him rubbing circles on his back. "I am also happy to see you Osamu. Tho I was only missing for a week or so." "That's too long for me..." He said to my ear quite sadly tightening the hug. He seemed really down... I imagine how lonely he may felt. "I am here now. Don't worry."

I noticed the boy beside him looking very uncomfortable and awkward. "Ne Osamu, why don't you introduce me to your companion?" Dazai released the hug and turned to introduce me to the young boy beside us.

"His name is Atsushi Nakajima. He is my new subordinate." "Ano... It's a pleasure to meet you ma'am." The boy by the name Atsushi Nakajima was an albino with a very unique haircut. What was very noticeable on his white hair, was a black highlight. The boy was filled with anxiety and I wanted to help him feel better as soon as possible.

"Nice to meet you Atsushi-kun. My name is Ito Akamine. I am also part of the detective agency and I hope that Osamu is taking a good care of you." I said smiling while ruffling the younger boy's hair. "Also, please don't be so formal. There is no need for you to get so nervous." He in the end smiled now completely out of any fear.

"Thank you very much Akamine-san. And yes Dazai-san has taken a good care of me so far. It's thanks to him I am still alive." He said showing a small smile. That's truly weird. Usually it will be Dazai who will often be saved.

"He was kicked out of the orphanage. I found him on the brinks of death so I made Kunikida-kun to pay for him some food~ Later we learned that he is an ability user without him actually knowing. He wasn't aware of his own ability." Well that's interesting...

"So what's your ability Atsushi-kun?" I asked the albino. "It's Beast Beneath the Moonlight. I can transform into a tiger." He said with sparkling eyes. My eyes widened with obvious excitement. "Wow... That's a really cool ability!" "Thank you Akamine-san!" He said rubbing bashfuly the back of his neck.

"THERE YOU ARE, YOU SUICIDAL MANIAC!!!" I heard a familiar voice screaming from far behind. I looked to see one of my friends from the agency. "Kunikida-kun~ You found us~" Said Dazai hiding behind me for protection. I shook my head and smiled at our friend.

"Why hello there Kunikida-san." "Oh? Hello Ito-san. DAZAI WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE RUNNING TO?!!" He screamed once again to Dazai only to reach deaf ears. That much screaming made many of the people around us to turn their heads towards us. They just arrived and they get too much attention already...

Kunikida was still scolding Dazai and honestly I found this very funny. "What did I told you Dazai?! Don't rush off and ask people to commit double suicide with you! I was just barely able to save you from that lady's partner from killing you!! And what about Ito-san?! Have you ever thought that she might feel uncomfortable with you hugging from her neck?!" In the middle of their arguing, I started laughing out loud wiping a small tear from my eye. "Oh my... I will never get tired from you guys haha..."

I reopened my eyes to see everyone staring at me. Kunikida being the first one to break the silence. "Did you just laugh?" I titled curiously my head to the side. "I guess so? Why? Wasn't I supposed to?" "It's just that you are so serious and out of any emotion most of the time that is hard to believe that you are human." Said Kunikida as Dazai just nodded his head.

A tick mark appeared on my head and I started to growl. "I am human too you know! I do have feelings you know!! I can also laugh you know!!!" Dazai just chuckled and placed a hand over my head. "Of course you can. Just, try to laugh and smile more often okay?" I exhaled a sigh and nodded my head. "I'll do what I can."
