One more day.

Just another day of loving people.

Of manipulating them. Oh how easy they were to pull around for his entertainment.

Except one person.

That Shizuo.

His one rival.

In spite of his usual responses and attacks, Izaya found him to be the most entertaining of them all. That guy proved to be quite a challenge, and he for one couldn't resist a challenge. It was thrilling and invigorating.

How many times had they played the cat and mouse game?

Sometimes he wondered who was the cat and who was the mouse. If it were up to him, he would have to say he was the mouse for the mouse was sneaky and crafty. Shizu-chan was the cat. His brutish ways and bulk were similar to that of a chasing feline.

Yes.

Shizu-chan the cat.

It had a nice ring to it.

Thinking about it, Izaya laughed to himself and startled the people around him. They edged around this infamous man, who was known for being hunted down by the strongest man there. Hardly anyone who knew his reputation wanted to be around him unless they had business with him. Even then, they were wary for Shizuo might pop up anywhere, and they certainly didn't want to be caught in the cross fire.

A dark shadow fell over him.

Izaya jumped out of the way as a large heart shaped sign fell where he stood. He looked up at the furious Shizuo. "Is it Valentine's Day already? And look you brought me a card. How sweet of you. Does that mean you're the uke?"

Shizuo fumed at the thought of being with Izaya out of all the people, let alone being the bottom person, the recipient, in said relationship. "I-za-ya-kun," he drawled. "Like hell!" He reached over to grab something nearby, and when he found nothing, he cursed. The Valentine heart still laid where he dropped it.

The information broker took this as a sign to go out of reach and throwing range though it was hard to tell with Shizu-chan being the thrower. "Aaaaaa, I think I'll go find a White Day gift for you since you were so thoughtful to bring me a gift."

Everyone in the vicinity made a mad dash to any place except there! This guy was insane.

"Dammit!" Shizuo picked up the large heart and attempted to flatten the annoying pest with it. Sadly, he failed, leaving heart impressions where they ran off to.

Shortly after, a van pulled up.

"I knew it I knew it I knew it," Erika giggled, her head poking out of the window. "Shizu-chan is the receiver!"
