Dark Changes

Chapter 1 Missing

[Taro Tanaka] Hey.

[Setton] Hey Taro!

[Taro Tanaka] Kanra still hasn't been on?

[Setton] Were you looking for him?

[Taro Tanaka] Yeah, he hasn't been around for a long time, I hope nothing happened…

[Setton] I hope not, too.

It had been about four months now since Mikado had seen any sign of Izaya in Ikebukuro. At first he thought it was nothing. Maybe Shizuo had finally chased him away. But Izaya had too much fun toying with his beloved humans; there was no way he would leave.

It seemed as if no one really took notice to Izaya's absence. Maybe Shizuo noticed, but that was it other than Mikado. The ex-bartender seemed pretty calm right after Izaya first disappeared. This worried Mikado, did Shizuo finally kill him?

Mikado walked around the city with Masaomi, hoping to catch a glimpse of the infamous information broker. He got his wish.

Out of an alley, about ten feet in front of them, a dark figure with a fur-trimmed jacket darted out. He was followed by a metal ladder, probably ripped off of a fire escape from one of the surrounding buildings.

"O-Orihara-san!" Mikado gasped as he realized who it was.

"Get your ass back here you bastard!" Shizuo shouted as he came out of the alley after Izaya.

"Ne ne~ Shizu-chan! Wouldn't want to have a child get hurt in your little rampage~" a voice appeared behind Mikado as he felt a hand on his shoulder.

'How did he—' Mikado thought as he turned, confused how Izaya was behind him all of a sudden. "Huh..?"

-About an hour earlier-

Shizuo had been having a peaceful life, not having to worry about the flea for four months. After a while he had started to think that maybe the louse had been killed. That was a nice thought.

But now, Izaya had come back. The bastard was back in Ikebukuro and was pissing him off even more!

"Ne ne~ Shizu-chan~" The raven haired informant called. "Long time no see~"

The smirk Izaya had really annoyed the blonde man. It always has. "Where the hell have you been, flea? And why the hell are you back!" Shizuo spat as he pulled the yield sign that was next to him from the concrete.

"Aw, were you worried about me~?" The smaller man teased. "Don't be." His eyes narrowed and his voice became a bit darker, causing Shizuo to cringe.

Shizuo stepped back; there was something off about the flea. It scared him, Izaya seemed different, and not in a good way.

Izaya's eyes were hidden by his bangs as his head lowered.

"U-uhh...you okay?" Shizuo asked hesitantly, not used to Izaya acting like this.

"What's it matter to you!" The informant spat. The playfulness in his voice from before was gone. Shizuo began to wonder what really happened to the man and why he disappeared.

The ex-bartender didn't answer. What could he say? 'I hate you but I want to know your problems.'?

He then heard chuckling come from the smaller man. That chuckling then turned to laughter, then into hysterics. Izaya laughed like a maniac. Shizuo knew the flea was messed up in the head, but this was just creepy!

A sharp object pierced his stomach. He looked down to see that Izaya had stabbed him in the stomach with his flick blade. The blade wasn't enough to cause too much damage, but it was still annoying that this louse had ruined yet another outfit that he received from his brother, Kasuka.

"IZAYA!" Shizuo yelled as the smaller man pulled the knife out of the blonde's stomach. He swung the sign that was still in his grip, missing.

Izaya had dodged everything Shizuo threw at him; even his punches couldn't touch the raven haired man.

"Ne ne~ Shizu-chan~" Izaya looked at the blonde, eyes now visible. "All that strength is quite useless when you can't even aim!" The smirk was back, but there was something different about it. Something was different in his eyes.

Izaya tuned on his heel and began running down an alley. Shizuo chased after him, tearing a ladder from a fire escape on one of the buildings that made up the alley. He chucked it at the fleeing informant as he ran out the other side.

"O-Orihara-san!" one of the teens on the other end gasped. Shizuo had met this kid before, but could never remember his name.

"Get your ass back here you bastard!" Shizuo ran out of the alley after the dark haired man. Izaya was standing behind the brunette teen.

"Ne ne~ Shizu-chan~" Izaya called, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder making him jump. "Wouldn't want a child to get hurt in your rampage~" The boy looked confused.

"Hiding behind a kid is a pussy move, even for you!" Shizuo said, hoping to get the flea away from the kid.

"What the Hell Izaya, Get away from Mikado!" The blonde teen yelled.

The informant glanced over to Masaomi and smirked. "Don't worry, I wont let this monster harm one of my lovely humans~"

"You're more of a monster than I am!" Shizuo scoffed. "You hurt more people than I have!"

His eyes. Shizuo noticed the flea's eyes again. Their color was off, and they seemed to be glowing, but not quite like the slasher's.

Apparently Masaomi noticed this difference too. "W-what the—" Masaomi looked scared, and Shizuo didn't blame him. Izaya was acting really creepy.

"What's wrong, Masaomi-kun~~" Izaya said in the creepiest way possible.

Shizuo needed to figure out what the hell happened to the flea before it was too late!

Author's Note: Yay! My first fanfiction…well not really. This is more like my second, but this is the first one I posted on ! I'm still kind of new to this, so I apologize if this sucks. I started writing this during math, so it may not flow very well, and my grammar seems to suck according to Microsoft Word. :P Thank you for reading and tell me what you think~ I would love to hear any suggestions and what typos I have made because my friend loves to point those out xD

I have the next few chapters written but I don't think I'll post them yet
