Hello there!:D
Yesh...I know I should be working on my fics, but I just wanted to post this first and that's it. I suddenly got this idea when I was listening to a song while doing an assignment at school. I was suddenly(more like randomly) thinking 'What would happen if Shizuo mute?' and I couldn't help but imagining it in my head XD
I don't know much about stuff like this, so I should do some research if this'll get a continuation. If there's any mistake in this fic let me know :)
And wow, this is my longest chapter ever, hahah!But I hope you guys enjoy this as I do enjoy writing it!:D
English is not my first language, grammars will be fixed later. So please, bear with this!Thank you!
And warning for a little(?)OOC, I hope Shizuo's not really out of character here...but anyways!Enjoy!
Pairing: IzayaxShizuo(Izuo)

Chapter 1: Rumour
-Shinjuku-
"Alright, Namie-san. I'm counting on you with all of the paperworks. I will be back in three days, have fun~!" The informant broker waved his hand at the pissed secretary before he finally left his apartment. He grabbed his suitcase and started to walk as he got a call from his regular customer.
"Hello, Shiki-san. I'll get my suitcase to the car soon, but I have to do one more little thing before I go, it won't be long." He smirked. He stopped when he finally outside the apartment as a black limousine car stopped it track near Izaya. A guy with black sunglasses and wearing a suit came out of the limousine and get his suitcase to put it in the baggage.
"Hm…fine, do what you want. But be quick, the meeting will be started two hours from now. You know your place is not in a short distance from here, right?We'll be waiting for your arrival, Orihara-san."
Just like that the line was disconnected. Izaya let out a huff as he closed his phone, "Ara…Shiki-san is stern as always." He put his phone in his jacket pocket and walked to the driver.
"Wait for me at the sunshine building." The man with black sunglasses nodded. Izaya smirked when he saw the limousine drove away. He looked at his watch and hummed.
"He should be there right now." He chuckled as he started walking heading to the train station.
-A few minutes later at West Gate Park, Ikebukuro-
"AAAAAAAAAAGH!"
CRASH!
The blonde haired man panted after he threw that heavy vending machine towards someone who tried to mess with him. A pat on his back made him back to reality. He sighed heavily and frowned, "Sorry, Tom-san…that guy annoyed me…" he growled. His dread haired senior shrugged his shoulder and smiled, "It's okay, Shizuo. He shouldn't have done that anyway….you're kind of in a bad mood today, huh?" he arched a brow as he started walking with his junior following beside him.
"Well…sort of…" He rubbed the back of his head and sighed.
He really was in a bad mood. He even crushed his last milk for that day in the morning because his neighbor's annoying loud music. He never get to see who was living beside his room, the only thing he knew that the guy was not from Ikebukuro and started living there for about two days. Not that he care anyways.
Tom looked at his phone for a while before he closed it. He glanced at his junior, "Good news for you, we didn't have to go to the next one after this. The boss said he'll take care of it himself." He patted on the blonde's back.
"Eh?Tom-san…this isn't on purpose, right…?" Shizuo stared at his senior, doubting if that was the truth. Tom let out a small chuckle and opened his phone, showing the text at the blonde.
"See?Go get some rest, Shizuo." Shizuo didn't say anything but nodded at him.
Tom sighed, "Okay, I'll be going from here then. See you." He waved a bit at the blonde as he left him alone. Shizuo took a deep breath before he released it. He needed a cigarette.
A few minutes later he was sitting on a bench at the park, smoking as he stared at the orange-purple sky. He blew out the smoke as he leaned his head back and closed his eyes. He put back the cigarette on his mouth a while before he blew it out again.
"Aha!What a view, you look kind of gloomy, Shizu-chan~" a familiar voice was heard near him. The person who was just calling him that stepped forward to him. Shizuo crushed his cigarette with his fingers and stomped it with his feet. He stood up from the bench, "Iiiiizaaaayaaaa-kuuuuun…." He gritted his teeth as he glared at the raven haired man who grinned at him.
"I told you to get out from Ikebukuro!" The blonde shouted at him. People at the park slowly make some distance from the both infamous guys in the town, trying not to get involved.
"Haha, that's what I'm planning to do, Shizu-chan~ since I'm going to be in a faaar place after this, I'm thinking to leave some marks before I go." He chuckled as he took out his switch blade and point it at Shizuo. Shizuo growled, gripping hard on the bench, "I don't care, flea!" Lies. "Just go away already!" with a force he lifted the bench easily with one hand and threw it towards the raven haired man who easily dodged it. The bench crashed next to the tree, Izaya looked at the blonde with a pitiful smile, mocking him.
Shizuo screamed the raven's name again, throwing a trash can at the guy. He panted after a few minutes;he pretty much already thrown everything at Izaya. Some new scars were now at Shizuo's arms and chest. And a blood flowing out from his cheek a little.
"Hahaha, I thought you already learn something!But it's just the same…you're so boring, Shizu-chan." He mocked the blonde, moving around the switch blade in the air as if he was explaining something. Shizuo could feel a vein popped out from his forehead. He didn't want to do anything more than this, but he couldn't control himself, his rage controls him.
"IIIIIZAAAAYAAAA!" He ran towards the raven and throw a punch at the guy. Izaya jumped back, still giving the blonde his usual smirk. Stop…stop…stop!
That was all the blonde wanted. He might look like he wanted to kill the raven, but he didn't. Though, his fist still trying to get Izaya's cheek.
He flinched when the raven grabbed his fist. "You're slow today, Shizu-chan. So boring." He said with a bored expression.
Shizuo could feel his heart pained a bit, he didn't like it when the raven gave him that bored expression. It made him felt so low, unwanted. Don't look at me like that, flea…
Izaya started to get annoyed at the blonde's lack of response, "Tsk, I thought you're going to raging all over again. Why are you being unpredictable?Aaah!so annoying!" He huffed as he put his hands beside his hips.
Shizuo still didn't reply him, "I should leave now, you're wasting my precious time, Shizu-chan. See you." He turned around from the silent blonde and started walking until a hand grabbed his wrist, stopping him, "….Don't…" the blonde said in a small voice. Izaya furrowed his eyebrows, "Huh?" he didn't understand why was the blonde acting like that. It was actually starting to annoy him to know that Shizuo didn't act like how he wanted to.
"…Don't go…." He raised his voice a bit so the raven could hear it. He hid his face with his hair, looking on the ground. He started to hear a small chuckle, and slowly it turned into a huge laughter coming from the raven's mouth.
"Ahahah!Oi, Shizu-chan…if you stopped me only to say those stupid words, you shouldn't have called me, Shizu-chan. Don't say anything stupid like that again, ne?You're really weird today…I hope you'll be back as usual when I get back, bye." He snatched his wrist from the other's grasp and waved a little at the blonde as he left.
He groaned to himself as he started to walk lazily.
What is wrong with me?I wasn't supposed to say that so suddenly….of course he would responded like that…
He keep walking like that leaving the park until he finally at an alleyway. He didn't care though, he just keep walking without knowing something was about to happen to himself.
A shadow following behind him for about a few minutes. Shizuo was starting to get a bit pissed because he could feel someone was following him. Not so long after that, a group of people with blue bandanas were standing infront of him with weapons in their hands. He furrowed his eyebrows. Really?I have to deal with this now…?
"Yo, bartender-san!play with us, will you?" Someone said with those people laughter following. His eyebrow twitched a bit when he heard that.
"Haha, let's just get on with it. I don't like looking at his face any longer here." Another one said, provocating the others. As they nodded, they started to walked towards him. He didn't care anymore as a red vision take over his body.
In three minutes all of them were beaten up, with Shizuo the only one standing still in the middle. He panted and wiped a blood on his chin with his palm.
With Shizuo being defenseless, a shadow slowly walked behind the blonde as the person who owned the shadow grabbed his chin upwards quickly and with a fast slash, blood starting to come out from Shizuo's neck.
The ex-bartender shocked, he could feel his blood running out from his neck. The unknown person behind him took the opportunity to stab the knife at his trachea hard. Shizuo's eyes widened as he felt the knife being stabbed into his windpipe. The pain slowly became stronger when he felt it moving deeper inside the trachea and quickly the person pulled out the knife.
Shizuo's knees dropped on the ground as the blood still running out, he quickly put his hands over where he was bleeding, trying to stop the blood.
He could hear the steps from the person who stabbed him. His mouth hanged open, didn't know what to do and wondering what that unknown person would do if Shizuo tried to scream. Though, it might be useless because he actually trying to let out his voice but he couldn't.
….Ugh…is this seriously happening?Tch...I'm not going to die if I just turned around….right?
"Ne, bartender-san. Don't even try to turned around to look at me. I still have the knife behind your neck here, I can just easily kill you right now." The unfamiliar voice started to speak as if he knew what the blonde was thinking.
Shizuo gritted his teeth. No, he couldn't just stay kneeling down like this. He could die running out of blood right now, he didn't want that.
No…I'm not going to die here. I have to say it to him before I get killed…and the only one who should kill me isn't this stupid stabber but him!
Shizuo slowly started to stood up shakily, though he managed to do it. He could feel the coldness of the knife pressing on the back of his neck. "Oya…are you trying to die here, bartender-san?Well, if you wanted to…since you need to repay what you've done to my friends…" the knife swinging fast as the guy tried to slash Shizuo again from the back, but Shizuo ducked and quickly turned around, tackling the guy on the ground and Shizuo slammed his head hard at the guy's forehead, making the guy fainted in an instant.
Sighing in relieve, he slowly straighten up and tried to walk a little faster. He needed to go to Shinra's apartment quick.
He walked as he leaning on the building's walls, feeling exhausted. His vision started to blurred a little as he heard a horse kind of voice not so far away from where he was standing. A familiar black figure with yellow cat-shaped helmet stopped the motorcycle infront of the alley. Shizuo's mouth moving like he was saying something, but nothing came out from his mouth as he finally let the darkness surrounded him.

Setton: Oh, yeah. I heard that too. I actually saw him when I just finished my work…he did look beaten up…
Tanaka Taro: What?No way…who did that to him?

Tanaka Taro: Bye, Setton-san.

Bakura: See you soon~
[-Setton has left the chatroom-]
-One Day later, Sasaki Hospital-
"Alright, thank you for the help, Shiratori-san." The bespectacled man smiled, shifting his glasses. The older man In his fourties nodded at the younger doctor.
"It's my pleasure, Kishitani-sensei. Your family always helped me with my works, so it's my turn now." He said in a soft tone. He looked at the patient who was sleeping soundly, his neck wrapped with bandages with a few bandage around his arms.
"Anyways, about Heiwajima-san….I'm quite impressed that he could stay conscious for a few minutes with those wounds…but, if it's about his voice cord…that's a different case.." Shiratori furrowed his eyebrows as he walked towards his table work and grabbed a paper from the table. He walked back towards the younger doctor and gave the paper to him.
"That's the result…he might get his voice back, if he wanted to he can choose a date for an operation. But he still need to recover completely before he do that." The younger one nodded at the older one and thanked him once more.
"Ah, I have another appointment. Is it okay to leave you here?" Shiratori feeling a bit panick, looking at his watch and grabbed his paper works. The young doctor nodded, "Sure, I will take care of him, Shiratori-san." He smiled.
"Alright, thank you, Kishitani-sensei!" He rushed towards the door and closed it. The young doctor sighed heavily and sat on the corner of the bed after he put down the paper on the small table beside the bed.
"How could this even happened…?" He of course one of the people who often see the blonde getting injured. He was always with Shizuo since they were a kid, he knew Shizuo often break his bones. But this was different, he couldn't compare this problem with that.
A knock on the door startled him. "Come in." he said, shifting his glasses. The person who knocked the door, walked in as she closed it. The urban legend typed on her phone.
[Shinra…how's Shizuo?]. She gripped her phone tight, worrying the blonde. Shinra could only sighed and gave her the paper which Shiratori gave him earlier. She took it from Shinra for a second and put it on the small table.
[He really…can't talk…?What if Shizuo awake?He'd be frustrated if he knew he couldn't speak anymore!]. She typed furiously.
Shinra grabbed her hands and looked at her. "It's okay, Celty…he can still speak if he take an operation." He gave her a smile, hoping she'd try not to get overly worried about the blonde. He didn't want her to be panicked and all. He knew that Shizuo was her friend, he was also Shizuo's friend, but he couldn't help but feeling a little jealous.
Celty's shoulder stiffened as she saw Shizuo slowly opening his eyes, trying to adapted his eyes with the light. Shinra turned around to see the blonde finally slowly awake, smiling to the blonde, "Shizuo!Finally you…" he stopped his words when he saw the blonde's caramel eyes looked so dull, almost lifeless. The blonde still didn't glance at Shinra and Celty's direction one bit, he stared at the hospital's white ceiling as if it was the most interesting to look at.
"Shizuo..?" He frowned when the blonde still didn't look at him. He then moved his hand infront of Shizuo's view and waved his hand. Fortunately, the blonde slowly started to blink his eyes a few times at the hand and finally glanced at the raven and the urban legend.
"….." his mouth opened slightly, but he closed it again. The dullahan walked at the other side of the bed and typed.
[Shizuo, I'm glad you're awake…]. Shizuo looked at it for a while before a small smile formed on his face as he glanced at her. "Shizuo…you know that you can't…uh..speak right now…right..?" the bespectacled man rubbed the back of his neck. The blonde's smile disappeared. He didn't say anything for a second before he nodded slowly at him.
Shinra smiled, "Un..but, you can still speak again!You can get an operation after you completely recovered." The blonde could only nodded at his childhood friend. He didn't know how to react. He should be feeling happy that he can still speak if he do the operation, he knew that. But in his heart, he somehow given up trying to speak, since he wasn't going to listen to what he would say anyway.
A clack sound interrupted his thoughts as he glanced to his side where Celty put a glass of water on the small table. He smiled at her as a sign of thanking her. "Oh, and Shizuo..Kasuka-kun will be here in two hours, he told me to make sure you're getting much rest, so get some sleep. I have work after this, so Celty will wake you up when he's here." Shinra said as he looked at his watch. Shizuo nodded at him and shifted on the bed, trying to get a comfortable position. He quickly sank into a deep sleep after that. Celty pulled the blanket up, trying to cover the blonde and patted his head.
"Celty, I'll go now."
[Okay. Be careful, Shinra.]
"Kishitani-sensei, how's Heiwajima Shizuo's condition?" He quickly walked, ignoring the questions starting to came out from the reporters mouths.
"Sensei, do you know who did this to Heiwajima-san?" He felt a bit annoyed now. But he need to be patient.
"Kishitani-sensei!So the monster of Ikebukuro is mute now?" and then Shinra stopped. People were expecting a comment from him, he glared at the person who asked. "First, if you don't know, his name is Heiwajima Shizuo and he still asleep. And we didn't know what might happens next. We're expecting he will wake up and recover soon, that's all." He shifted his glasses with his forefinger as he continue to walk towards the door, ignoring the questions.
He quickly get into a car which already waited for him infront of the hospital's gate and went to his destination. He leaned back on the seat and put his chin on the back of his hand. Shinra let out a heavy sigh and stared outside the car from the window.
Haahh…it will be a trouble when Kasuka comes here. But I think he can handle the situation better than me…..ah…and I think Shizuo need to change his hair colour…I'll tell that to Kasuka later.
A/N: Alright that's it!:D I don't know why but it felt a bit weird for me to write something like this lol
I never write a serious story other than 'A White Paper'...so...I don't really know what to say .-.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed that..or no?:")
See you next time!
