I decided that I would type this up, even if no one is interested. *I am assuming things because no one has reviewed yet.* Anyway, this idea literally assaulted me while I was trying to clean and think of what to do next for Nai Wata Shi.
It's going to be a bit weird writing, since Psyche is Izaya but Izaya thinks that he's just Izaya.
Summery: This is it. Shizuo actually got me. I can see the white and, I'm in Shinra's office? Shizuo is here, apologizing to me. Shinra says I've been in a coma for about a month. They keep calling me Psyche and apparently, everything I remember was the made up dream I dreamt while in my coma. What the Hell is going on here?
Disclaimer: I do not in anyway own these characters. The only thing I own is the idea and the way I type it up. [I hope that I own that, but I don't remember seeing anything like this before.
Warning(s): Well, it's obviously Tsugaru X Psyche (Izaya).
Info: (Izaya) Psyche's full name will be Psyche Orihara and Tsugaru's full name will be Tsugaru Heiwajima. I'm too lazy to try and come up with different last names and it fits. And I've decided that Celty isn't actually a Dullahan. She's a person. But she dresses the same and [obviously] has her head. She does ride around on a motorcycle as well.
"You missed again, Shizu-chan! What are you, blind? Or perhaps you actually care for me! Maybe you just got tired of chasing me, for once, and aimed at all these lovely bystanders." I giggled to myself as I could see the veins pulsate against Shizu-chan's head. It was just so fun to piss him off.
"You know, I-za-ya-kun, its incredible rude to assume things about people." I dropped my grin. That sentence was uttered a little, who am I kidding? It was uttered way too calmly to be Shizuo. He walked towards me, seemingly completely calm. I knew I should run, but the way he was being so cam froze me. For once in my life, I was completely, and utterly afraid.
"I want you to die, flea." I couldn't move. Shizuo forced my flickblade out of my hand and, I let him. I couldn't move; I couldn't say a word. Shizuo held my own blade to my throat. "Do you have any last words?" I didn't. My mind was blank, except for one thought.
'This is it. Shizu-chan is actually going to kill me. I-I'm going to die.'
The utter fear showed on my face, however, Shizu-chan was completely unaffected. I held my breathe and closed my eyes tight and I felt the cool metal of my blade slice my own throat. I didn't feel a thing and my life didn't flash in front of my eyes.
Instead, I could feel a bed underneath me. I was in too much pain to open my eyes. However, it wasn't my neck that hurt, it was my chest. Slowly, I started to hear all the noises around me. I also heard two very distinct voices talking. Shinra and Shizuo.
"Tsugaru, its 2:30 in the morning. Leave him be and come rest."
"Shinra, I want to be here when he wakes up. I want to apologize and tell him how sorry I am the moment he wakes up."
"You won't be able to if you exhaust yourself to the point of collapsing. Besides, you need as much rest as you can get if you want your arm to finish healing. It'll be in that cast for about another two weeks."
There was a slight pause. "I know. But I feel so bad. I've never lost my temper before. I never knew I had such strength. And, I used it against Psyche."
'Shizu-chan thinks he's never lost his temper before and didn't know of his strength. Shinra keeps calling Shizu-chan Tsugaru, and Shizu-chan just refereed to me as Psyche. What. The. Hell. Is. Going. On. Here?' I was seriously confused by the conversation. I didn't know what was going on, and I always know what's going on. I'm Orihara Izaya!
"Ah! Tsugaru! Look at the machines! He's aware and awake!"
"Really?" I could hear… excitement and relief in his voice. What the Hell? I soon felt Shizu-chan beside me, holding my hand. And not in a threatening way. I was still in too much pain to actually open my eyes and I honestly didn't want to deal with anything.
"Psyche-chan, I'm so sorry! I just snapped when you accessed me of liking Celty more than I like you. As soon as I hit you, I got so scared. I thought I didn't have the strength to send anyone flying like that. If it makes you feel any better, the strain broke my arm. You've been asleep for around a month."
"Tsugaru, give poor Psyche some space. Just wait in the other room while I talk to him."
There was a moment's hesitation before I could hear Shizu-chan agree and leave. After I was sure that Shizu-chan really was gone, I slowly and painfully sat up.
"Ah, Psyche, let me help!" Shinra exclaimed before he helped me up. "You've been in a coma for about a month. How do you feel?"
I was confused. Didn't Shizu-chan kill me? And if he didn't kill me, why was he so worried that I was in said coma? And why the Hell did they did keep calling me Psyche? My name is Izaya, damn it! "Shinra, who is Psyche?"
Shinra seemed generally surprised by my question, which only confused me more. "You're Psyche. Orihara Psyche."
"No," I argued, knowing that I was right. "I'm Izaya. Orihara Izaya. And I'm confused, why did Shizu-chan sound so worried about me?" Actually admitting that I was confused was a large hit to my ego, but whatever.
Shinra's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe what I was saying. But, why? He knows that Shizu-chan and I are on bad terms.
"You mean Tsugaru? Psyche, you couldn't have forgotten him. You two are closer than me and Celty."
"WHAT? That can't be true! Shizu-chan and I hate each other's guts. We have from the moment you introduced us to each other." This can't be true. Shinra and Shizu-chan have to be playing some weird prank on me. Yeah, that had to be it. Shizu-chan decided that he wanted to piss me off for once, so he threatened Shinra to play along. That makes complete sense.
"Psyche, I didn't introduce you to Tsugaru. You've never hated each other in any way. Something must have happened to your brain when Tsugaru punched you. Tell me everything you remember right now."
There was a commanding tone to his voice. Seriousness I've never heard Shinra speak with. Something told me that I would be in deep shit if I disobeyed him. So, I told him. I told him everything I remembered, including my death right before I 'woke' up.
At the end of my, well, life story, Shinra had some sort of look on his face. I didn't really know how to describe it. All I knew was that it meant bad new.
"Psyche," There he goes with the Psyche again. "I believe I have an explanation."
"Then tell me! I fucking hate not knowing!" Shinra flinched when I screamed that. Apparently, that's not how I talk. After my outburst, we both heard two voices from the other room.
"Tsugaru! Calm down! I'm sure Psyche is fine! Just let Shinra talk to him."
"Celty, that's not how Psyche talks at all! I'm worried."
"I don't think barging in there is the smartest thing to do. The last thing Psyche probably remembers is you sending him flying with a punch!" There was silence after that.
Shinra quickly excused himself momentarily to tell them not to worry. Soon, he was back.
"As I was saying, I think I may have an explanation." He cleared his throat. "The last thing that happened to you before you went into your coma was Tsugaru punching you. It would have terribly frightened you. Especially since you and Tsugaru are lover."
I was too stunned to say anything. Seeing as I was silent, Shinra continued. "You were, for once, scared at how weak and innocent you are, err, were. You didn't know how to think of Tsugaru. So, your mind created a place for you to live and grow 'stronger'. I'm going to tell you this right now. None of that is real. There are no such things as Dullahans; you are an only child, as is Tsugaru. What most likely happened is that in this 'dream world' of yours, you constructed a stronger personality. And when you met Tsugaru, or Shizu-chan, you wanted to be with him, but were subconsciously scared of him, so you decided that you hated him. Your strongest memory of Tsugaru was when he lost his temper and punched you with incredible strength. So, you made your version of Tsugaru with inhuman strength and an incredibly short temper. When it got to the point of your 'death' you froze because your Shizu-chan was acting like Tsugaru. And it was if your lover was killing you. Then, you woke up. Your subconscious has been repressed for a month, however, to you, it seemed like 23 years. It's the same as having a split personality."
I just sat there, absorbing it all. There's no way the whole thing could have been made up, could there? But, damn it! Shinra's explanation did make some sense. And I couldn't think of anything better. "So, what do I do now?" It was a stupid question, but I was at a loss for what to do.
"Personally, I would go home with Tsugaru. You two do live together. And seeing things you're familiar with should help bring your memory back. I'm just going to explain what happened to Tsugaru and Celty now."
He left the room and there was a moment of silence before. "What do you mean I live with Shizu-chan?"
Well, I think that I did well. Does this make sense? Basically, Izaya's whole life was really just a dream he made up while in a coma. He is really Psyche Orihara, boy-friend to Tsugaru Heiwajima. However, upon waking from his month long coma, he does not remember his life as Psyche. Only his 'fake' life as Izaya.
Please review telling me what you think. I would really appreciate it. And remember, if any of you read Truly a Monster, and liked it, just tell me and I'll put it back up.
