Element of Danger (Izaya Orihara x OC)

Chapter 1: She's Back~

"Ms. Namazaki, have you come to any conclusions yet?" a young man entered Takara Namazaki's new office. She hadn't been given enough time to come up with a logical conclusion. She released a sigh, for she had not been in Ikebukuro for longer than two weeks and she already had at least five cases. All of which, involving the renowned 'color' gang, the Dollars.

Takara graduated from university with a degree in Criminal Psychology nearly a year ago. She lived in America for the years during her study, and had not been to Ikebukuro since leaving for high-level schooling when she was eighteen. And now, she had been newly employed in Ikebukuro, where she did have quite a reputation.

"I'm going to need more time." the brunette said, furrowing her thin eyebrows. It had been about five years since returning to the crime-ridden town, and a lot had changed. She was still processing everything going on and news of Takara's return had not seemed to reach the streets yet.

"Give me a night to think about it." she ordered. The young man then left her tidy office as she began to pack her belongings. Her apartment was a mere ten minute walk from her office building. It was a small and cozy space, only enough room for one resident. Takara liked it like that and she wasn't ready for anything to change. Little did she know, the wheels of insanity in Ikebukuro had already begun to turn.

Out of exhaustion, the brunette unbuttoned her suit jacket and shirt then took them off, throwing them carelessly on the couch. She unzipped her tight skirt and folded it beside her other clothing articles. She pulled on comfortable sweat pants and turned on her laptop. Recently, she joined the famous 'Dollars' in order to assist her business with Criminal Psychology. Getting the general information about rumors and crimes that may have occurred could help significantly with the local police, which is where Takara worked.

Kira has entered the chatroom.

Takara, now posed as 'Kira', viewed the familiar aliases of those in the chatroom.

Setton: Welcome back, Kira-chan~

'Setton' was always kind and welcoming to her. 'Kanra' on the other hand; he enjoyed teasing her. The only reason that 'Kira' was sure that 'Kanra' was a he in particular was how he treated her, for no girl in their right mind would say the things that he said.

Kanra: Kira-chan~ I know you missed me~

The brunette could almost hear the teasing sing-songy tone that 'Kanra' possessed. Takara rolled her hazel eyes.

Taro Tanaka: You're back, Kira-chan! I was just about to share something interesting I heard today!

'Taro Tanaka' was rather friendly as well. Heck, the only person in the chatroom that 'Kira' wasn't too fond of was 'Kanra'.

Kira: Hello, Setton, Tanaka ^^

Kira: News? Do tell!

Kanra: How cruel, Kira-chan~ Your poor lover doesn't get a hug, much less a hello. I'm hurt!

Takara wanted to reach her hands through the screen and strangle this 'Kanra'.

Kira: Don't be putting false fantasies into your head, Kanra.

Setton: You two sound like an old married couple :P

Setton: Anyway, the news?

Taro Tanaka: Right! So, I had heard a few rumors that Takara Namazaki was back in town...

'Kira's' fingers froze over the silver keyboard. Maybe news of her return had reached the streets. This wasn't ideal.

Setton: I thought I saw a familiar curly-haired brunette walking the streets today. Her name escaped me that moment, it must've been her!

Kanra: No way! Taka-chan is back! This is gonna be fun~

No. It couldn't be, could it? There was only one person who referred to Takara as 'Taka-chan', and that was no one other than Izaya Orihara. She knew there was something she despised about 'Kanra', and now that she hypothesized that 'Kanra' was that man; she had a reason to dislike him.

Kanra: Hey, Kira-chan~ Don't get jealous cause I plan on having fun with Taka-chan~

Kira: Why would I be jealous? I pity that woman. But why is it such a big deal that she's back in Ikebukuro?

Of course, Takara knew the significance. But she could not let the others in the chatroom know that 'Kira' was the famous Takara Namazaki.

Kanra: Taka-chan is special~

Very specific.

Setton: She's known to be the only person who can match up with Izaya Orihara, the not-very-liked information broker. She's a smart and pretty liked girl. Of course, she's only liked by the good guys.

Taro Tanaka: Yeah, AND she's rumored to be a part of the Dollars!

Kira: Does anyone know how long she's been in Ikebukuro?

Setton: Well, she left for college five years ago. And she's supposedly only been back for about two weeks.

Meanwhile, Izaya Orihara was furiously gazing at his laptop screen in his dark apartment. One of his favorite humans was back in Ikebukuro. Oh, how he was excited. Of course, he knew that the woman who had returned to Ikebukuro had to be Takara, because she was the only one who could return to the town without the information broker noticing. However, after hearing the streams of rumors coming from 'Setton' and 'Taro Tanaka' who he knew both to be the town Dullahan and the leader of the Dollars, he had quite a believable hypothesis.

Requesting private chatroom

The small white letters appeared on 'Kira's' laptop screen. Of course, she obliged.

Entering private chatroom with Kanra

Kanra: Welcome back~ Kira-chan

Kira: What do you want?

Kanra: Eager, are we?

Kanra: Anyway, I meant to say welcome back to Ikebukuro.

Takara could almost see his devilish smirk, but a similar one danced on her own lips. Oh, she knew exactly what he meant.

Kira: Challenge accepted, Izaya Orihara~
