"shizu... Chan... Do it" the flea said, shivering in the monsters arms. The ravenhaired had lost much blod due to Shizuo's own fists. "Finally got me... Please do it fast, it hurts..." The monster hesitated.

"okay... Any last words?" The blonde asked. He gulped.

"I envy you..." the fleas words were fainth but still so loud the monster could hear it. Shizuo leaned down.

"Haahh?"

"I envy you" Izaya repeated. Shizuo stared in chock at the grate Orihara Izaya. He just gaped. "Shizu-chan has friends..." the raven looked really sad when he said that. "even if you're a monster you have friends... It's not fair..."

tears fell from Izayas face. The calm mask was broken. That was when the ex-bartender realised that the flea actually was more human than he thought.

"What did I do wrong? Tell me... just so I know before you kill me, tell me my mistake"

Shizuo closed his mouth. He took a deep breath.

"Look, flea. If you truly want an answer you should ask someone else. Someone like Shinra. Shinra is your friend right?"

"okay, I'll ask Shinra..."

Izaya looked up at Shizuo to get permission. The blonde nodded, helped the flea up.

"one thing I've allways wanted to ask you is that: Aren't you scared of me?" the blonde suddenly asked. he earned a smirk from the raven.

"not at all"

They walked in silence the last few steps up to Shinras aprtment. Nobody was home at the moment so they sat down.

"..."

"..."

A thick silence surounded the sworn enemys. They just sat like that till Celty came home. She almost dropped her helmet in surprise when she saw the two of them. She quickly started to type on her PDA.

'What are you two doing here?'

Shizuo shrugged. "Just sort of happen, I wasn't really thinking." he gestured at Izaya who sat quieter than usual. Celty nodded her helmet.

'Is that so. Do you seek Shinra?'

"yes"

'He'll be home at any moment now! Come in!'

"thank you" both Shizuo and Izaya said. After a while Shinra finally came home. He tossed himself into the dullalahans arms before noticing the two extra persons in his home. Izaya was still tired because of blodloss, Shizuo smoked inside even when they'd told him many times he couldn't. Shinra glanced from the raven to the blonde.

"What's going on here?" Shinra asked them. He looked at Izayas wounds and brushies. "You're hurt... is that the reason?"

"Shizu-chan told me to ask you, my last question before I die" the raven spoke. His voice sounded forced and dry. "what mistakes did I make to never make any friends?"

Shinra shook his head. He plucked up a roll of bandage and started to wrapp up Izayas wounds. "What are you talking about? You must have lost too much blod..." Shinra was known to be too kind. He would only see the good in people. "Izaya, you actually have a few good parts that you never show"

Izaya suddenly fainted breathing heavily. His head rested at the blondes shoulder.

"Hehe, told you so" Shinra chuckled. Shizuo swallowed. He looked down.

"I don't want to kill him anymore..." He mumbled. Shinra smiled cheerfully at him.

"Ikebukuro will be much more peacefull then"

Shinra had his famous dreamface on. Celtys shoulders moved up and down. She was probably laughing. She even bent over.

'Ikebukuro in peace? That would be a sight!' Celty typed. Shinra froze. "C-Celty, don't be like that!" Shizuo started to laugh too.

"Yes it sure would be" he blurted out between the laughing. Shinra shook his head. He didn't really understand what had happen. "Shinra when the flea wakes up don't tell him I was here" Shizuo waved as he walked out of their appartment.

"F-fine..."
