So, I've seen a bunch of song challenges and stuff like that out on fanfiction recently, so I thought I'd give one a try. I changed the rules up a little bit though because I'm such a slow writer. Each chapter will be posted individually so I can sort of elaborate on each one-shot as much as I want. I also don't have the one song time limit because, like I said, I write really slowly. I hope you guys still enjoy these though because that's kind of the only reason I post on this site =)

Shizuo heard the sizzle of the cigarette as he stomped it out on the pavement before looking around the night darkened street for the hundredth time in the past five minutes. It wasn't that the person he was supposed to be meeting was late necessarily, he had just wanted to get there early, trying to be the gentleman that he certainly was not so that his blind date wouldn't have to wait for him by themselves on the crowded street.

After another nerve wracking minute of waiting, the tall blond gave a sigh, immediately catching something off about the air around him. His nose twitched at the disturbing smell, knowing that it hadn't been there a minute ago. A grimace spread across his face, and a gut wrenching feeling told him that something dreadful was about to happen.

Just as he had predicted, the corner of his eye then caught sight of a flea, prancing around in the open as if it simply wanted to be squished.

"Iiizzzzaaayyyaaaa." The beast growled in the back of his throat, quickly scanning the area for something to throw at the information broker before he set off after him. Chase ended up being unnecessary though, as the raven skipped over to stop directly in front of Shizuo.

"Now now, Shizu-chan." The informant soon chided with a smile. "You look like you're about to murder someone. Is that anyway to greet your date?"

"Date...?" The blond pondered for a moment, trying to get his small brain through the maze of Izaya's words. "Wait a second. Don't tell me that you're my blind-"

"Date?" The raven then finished for him. "Wow Shizu-chan, I'm impressed with how quickly you figured that out. That has to be a personal best for you, doesn't it?"

An animal like growl once again started up in the back of the monster's throat, his hand reaching out to grab the nearby lamp post as it bent itself over to his strength. "IIIIZZZZAAAAAYYYAAAAAA!" The light source snapped then, darkening as its power source was cut off. It of course would still hold a purpose even though it was dark, but it can't be said that anyone would expect a lamp post to be used to try and squash a flea.
