-This is my first story ever posted in here, and I hope it's decent. Lol. Reviews?
-And other important things would be nice.
-Don't worry this isn't the last of the story. Just need some motivation, I guess. Hopefully you all enjoy it.
"Hey, Shizu-chan." I was dreaming again, I could sense it, despite me being part sleeping, I was a tad awake. The feeling.. I knew this was nothing but cloud nine all over.
"What does it feel like..? To be a monster?" Hell, I can recognize that voice, even from a mile away. The flea. He's the only one who's able to call me that frickin' name without getting his face punched in, not that I let him, he was just that frickin' fast..
I couldn't tell where I was in this so-called "dream" of mine, but it sure looked and felt a hell of a lot... Familiar..The breeze, the sunlight shining through non-shaded eyes of mine, a clear fence caging us enemies together.. That being the case, it must've been somewhere near high school. Then I chuckled to myself, Raira. I flinched at the feeling of something sharp down my neck after realizing the location that brought us together as arch enemies; his flick blade. Of course. I didn't feel any fear, but I didn't want someone killing me in my own damned dream. I attempted to grab the weapon, but it was futile. Screw dreams and their paralysis effects.
He leaned close and whispered something to my ear; boy, did I want to push him off and send him flying out of here- Hell, why was he in my dream in the first place? I didn't care whatever reason it could've been, to be honest, I just wanted out of here. "A Beast and God..I wonder who would destroy who first..? He let that crazy laughter escape his lips, expressing that same insane joy of his. I hated it. I hated this guy in general, why does he intend on making my life full of gangs I could easily beat the shit out of? Throwing insults I could easily get angered from? Running from things I hauled at him with ease? He was different from anybody I've met, Celty can't even compare.
"I hope you would drop dead, Shizu-chan..." For once, that really sent shivers down my spine.. I sensed menace in his tone, like he was actually being serious..My view changed all on their own and my eyes were fixed on his own crimson ones, he smirked and raised his blade-gripped hand upward, and I shut my eyes tightly, knowing what happened next was beyond my control. Death.
I woke up, drenched in perspiration, my chest heaving up and downwards from my heavy breathing and my own head aching. Fuck. I mumbled to myself. Another head banging day to work. I considered having a day off, but I needed this, there was nothing else sending money back home; if Kasuka ever offered I declined it with alleviation. I didn't want my own brother pitying me and giving me cash he himself worked so hard for. So with that, I walked over to the bathroom and switched the light on. My reflection, it sure looked like crap. It took all the integrity I had inside me to stop myself from smashing that mirror, smashing that miserable reflected person who's managed to get fired in every job he's worked in, smashing that monster.
I turned on the sink and splashed several cold handfuls of water to my face and dabbed it lightly with a towel from the rack. I swear to God if I see that flea, I'm going to kick his ass once and for all.. I have no idea why that was in my mind, it could've been my nightmare, it could've been natural instinct.. It could've been anything, but today, it was just not my day. I placed the towel down, switched the light off and headed to the living room where I carelessly dropped my work attire onto. Did I really want to go through with this throbbing head of mine? .. Yes, you do, now get your ass straight and head to work.. I swear it was my conscience battling again. Like those miniature devil and angels that glide around your shoulders. But I was sane, I couldn't possibly be thinking about something like that now.
I put my bartender vest on and proceeded to walk toward the door, grabbing the knob with a bit of hesitation, and a bit of wanting. I twisted the knob and walked out, locking it. Locking it as if I've left a bit of my troubles behind. Although, we all know that wasn't possible. I inserted my hands into my pockets and walked to where Tom was; my destination to the start of my occupation. Glances were made, stares were done and I did nothing but ignore most and glared at some. I hated how people looked at me. I'm not a complete monster, I was human just like them, so why would they bother giving me looks like I'm some kind of monster created to destroy. I clearly had good in me by doing a job, doing the world a favor, but just like the feeble humans they are, they label me something I'm not. A beast.
I saw Tom ahead of me, so I partially jogged the rest of the way to him. He gave me that same friendly smile of his, like he was trying to calm me down from something that hasn't happened, something like.. Running into that damned Louse..I cursed myself in my head and flinched when I heard a sudden noise from my bosses mouth.
"Shizuo, you alright?" I saw worry in his eyes, the last thing I needed was someone worrying about me from something I had no idea of what the problem was.
I gave him a short a nod and rubbed the back of my neck with one hand and clenched my fist with the other, trying to ease the tension. "Yeah, I'm fine, just thinking about stuff is all.." I sighed under my breath, making sure it was inaudible to him, I think I screwed up there. Of course he's going to ask, and what are you going to say? Fuck this blunt mind of mine..
He leaned his head back slightly, laughing. I couldn't help but widen my eyes at this, why would he be laughing from something I said? "Shizuo." I raised a brow for a moment and let him continue. "You know, you're such a bad liar. You really shouldn't do things that'll lead people to think there is something wrong with you, like rubbing the back of your neck for example!" He continued to laugh and I couldn't help but flush a bit from embarrassment.
"Well.. There isn't anything wrong with me, so that's where you're incorrect.." Bad liar, eh? I'm somewhat starting to believe that, screw my lack of words.
He patted my shoulders lightly and his laughter dialed down to small chuckles. "Alright, alright, I believe you then, but you know you can always tell me if there's something wrong, I am your boss after all." I wish I could tell someone. But no one would understand me, no one has ever been placed with a situation like mine. I think.. Overall.. I just wanted to be.. Accepted. There was a sudden silence and I moved my gaze at the person I was hired to keep safe but something else caught my eye instead. It was him. No one else made my blood feel this hot, there's no other person in this damned town that was able to make me feel as if I was born to kill. Izaya Orihara.
"Oi, Shizu-chan! Fancy seeing you here! Are you off to another job to get fired again?~" Damn Smartass, his fucking remarks always find a way to piss me off. His taunting smirk followed after, and I snapped. I think the headache was coming to me- Not that I was never not mad with this guy.
"I-ZA-YA-KUUUN!" I gripped onto a nearby lamp post from within my reach and ripped its roots off from the pavement, unsheathing it as if were some javelin, I swinged it toward his direction, his head to be more precise, but knowing the sly flea he is, he dodged it with repose. I hauled it at him soon after and I got the same results; Failure. He began to run and of course, I began to chase him. Curse his game of Cat and Mouse, I swear I'll break his fucking legs one day so he wouldn't make another step ahead of me. Needless to say.. I sort of just ditched Tom there like I always did.
He ran pass an open alleyway and I continued to follow him, as past years, I always seem to forget the fucking car.
BAM!
I was ran over by another damn truck! God, was this getting old. I barely felt the pain, but falling for the same trick a third time was just fucking damn hindering. I heard footsteps come my way and I was force to lay under that mobile from the heavy weight. He crouched and snickered at me, I couldn't see him, but I felt him smiling at how sorry I looked. I grinded my teeth together and pressed my hands under the truck and pushed it forward to get it off from me. I sat up and took control of the stupid machine and tossed it over my shoulder with a small grunt. He clapped his hands together and praised me. What an asshole, I fucking hate your sarcasm.
He started to run again, why couldn't he just stand in one place so I can punch that frickin' look off his face! I darted after him once more and passed a tight corner before losing him. Where the hell did he go this time? I looked in every direction then heard my name called from above me, I looked upward and saw him waving at me, how the hell did he get there? On a roof.. And I'm down here on an alleyway, if I hadn't known better, I think I was chasing some kind of fake..
"Get down here so I can beat your ass up, Louse!" I heard myself shout. I don't like small talk, and he just needs to get out of Ikebukuro, before I wreck the damn place into ruins..
"Haha! I'd like to live a very long life, thank you, without any bones broken~!" His sing song voice, I'd hate myself for actually admitting to liking it. Too late. I stomped off toward the entrance of the building he was on and walked several steps upward. Leave it up to him to torture me like this. I opened the door to earn a new location and saw him splaying his arms about, he looked stupid doing that- Not like anything else on him wasn't stupid.. But he looked so peaceful, fuck, what a contradiction, me and my hypocrite slogan.
He turned to look at me and he had a small grin on his face. I shuddered for a moment, recalling my nightmare, and then he walked several steps toward me and pointed at my chest, where my heart was located at. "That organ that lies inside that brute body of yours, I want it." I felt my mouth gape at this, what the hell is he talking about? Is this some sort of ridiculous riddle of his? I flinched at the other sudden words he now was able to speak. "We're one of the same, we're nothing like original humans, you see.."
A dark smirk crept on his face, and I felt like I was living in that dream again. The breeze, the sun shining on my eyes, I forgot my shades today, but the thing that seemed different was..
There was nothing encasing us together...
-Hell, I was so stoked when everything from the beginning came back to the end. I didn't plan any plots for the story so it made me astonished.
-Goes to show I'm just more into the -Just type anything that comes to mind- kind of person. Lol
-Yet again, I hoped you all enjoyed it.
