Note from author: Half year ago I planned to write this on my own of many, many chapters... But thanks to my wonderful girlfriend, with who I met thanks to Shizaya and started to roleplay with, our own canon story was made! For the past 10 months we roleplayed so much, yet the story is still going on and on, having even side stories. So here the story starts! Hope you enjoy!

Summary: Hating your enemy for so long makes you start developing some feelings towards each other, but is it even mutual? And who knows what more weird things can happen if you spill out a secret or two.


Volume 1

Chapter 1: I can't leave him

Shizuo's POV

It was already near evening time as I worked with my boss and friend, Tom Tanaka. We went through almost whole list of the people we had to demand money from, surprisingly almost none pissed me off. There were only just one or two who wanted to play cool and be a show off with their pathetic little knives, but after one punch they were ready to pee in their pants.

"Alright, I guess it's all for today," the dreadlock man said, turning to face me. I just smiled a bit and nodded. Seems it's all for today, and I haven't seen nor sniffed the familiar disgusting smell of the flea all day. 'Tch, he's probably up to something no good as usual.' I thought and before I could thank Tom for a good job day the wind blew the familiar scent towards me, the smell making my blood pressure rise and eye twitch.

Standing still, hoping that one certain, fucking, annoying, blood sucking, mind-fucking, jumping like-a-God-damn-flea informant will pass by and not annoy me today. The day was going by well, I don't want that little shit ruin it. Man, just the thought of him makes me want to grab his throat and choke him! I swear to the blue sky that one day he-

"Shiiiizuuu-chaaaan~"

Oh, fucking, motherfuck, no...

Groaning, I turned around to see a skipping raven walking my way. Biting onto the cigarette between my lips, I curse under my breath and turn to Tom, saying a goodbye and walking off fastly. The least I want right now is a headache from him. Maybe if I avoid him he will leave me the fuck alone, though the skipping steps behind me aren't ceasing.

"Shizu-chan, wait up! Shiiizuuu~!" suddenly, I feel something stabbing me between my shoulder blades. Stopping in mid tracks, I turn head at the informant. "If I said stop, then stop, you protozoan~" the raven smirked as I glanced at the window of a shop, seeing my pissed off reflection as my eyes glare at the knife stuck in my back, probably blood rushing out as well.

"You asshole…" I growl between clenched teeth, pulling the knife out as if it's nothing but a little scratch and crush the knife in my hand, only earning a wicked smirk from the other, "How many times I said to stay out of Ikebukuro?!"

"But Shizu-chan, last time I checked you don't own the place. So I can be here all I want~" he literally purred those words, making a vein appear on my forehead. Really… What does it take to get rid of this asshole?!

"Come on now, don't look so angry~ I just came to play with you! Aren't you happy?"

"I'll be happy when you finally DROP DEAD!" I shout as I grab a near by mail box and throw it at him, though he only jumps up, kicking the object with his foot and lands back gracefully on the ground, making one spin. Tch, what a show off…

"Ora, what rude manners~ I went through all the trouble to just say hi~" he sing-songed the words, yet… Wait, did he just really looked upset for a split second? Ah, no, that flea will be sad only when I break his neck!

Throwing some more insults at each other the usual chase starts from throwing my cigarette on the ground, stomping it and running through the streets. After half hour of running, pushing few people and breaking over six traffic signs, one car and three trash cans we end up in an alleyway, the flea cornered against the wire fence, having a bit panicked look. Of course, panic, be scared you little shit, because NOW I'm gonna crush you for good!

"I~za~ya~ku~n~ What, trapped now, huh flea?" smirking at him as I walk over, stopping just a few steps away, just in case to keep a distance if he takes out another knife. Really, how many does he carry with him anyway?

"S-Shizu-chan…"

Izaya's POV

Really, I didn't think I would be captured so fast. Shizu-chan was fast enough today… But really, if only he was a bit more far away I would have climbed over this damn fence if not for the spiky wires above it. What is it, some jail fence or what? Who in their sane mind would put a damn fence with spiky wire? Humans are so weird with their ideas.

"S-Shizu-chan…" I try to act cool but really, the situation is scaring me. Being trapped like a mouse in a corner by a cat isn't fun. Hmm… Maybe I could fool him and slip between his legs or from sides. Seeing the blond only smirk more as he approaches me I press my back against the fence, a cold sweat dripping down my face. Shit, I got to move if I want to stay in one piece!

"Easy t-there Shizu-chan. You don't want to get hurt, ne~?"

"It's you who will get hurt right now, flea!" and with a roar he sends a punch, on instinct I slide down, hearing the fence rattle from the punch and have a small hole now. Just imagining there could be my head just is a horrifying image. Rolling to the right as the brute decides to kick me with his leg I decided to use the chance and run for my freedom, only to be grabbed by my left leg and fall on the ground. Looking behind me, my eyes grow wide at the wicked smile of victory of the other that he caught me, "Going somewhere?"

Earning a yank on my leg he pulls me back and throws me against the brick wall of the buildings, hearing a loud crack and cough out some blood, shuddering in pain as I fall forward and land on the ground, face smashing against the dirty ground. Shit it fucking hurts… Feels like I've been run over by a truck and then by a road roller on my face.

"Don't fall asleep now~" being grabbed by my hood he yanks me up, the jacket making my arms raise up to the sides. Scowling at the blonds smirking face, only earning a chuckle, I try to kick him but he doesn't even fucking flinch! Damn, never thought my death will be this horrific, being smashed and killed by him. Ahh… But if to think about it, better killed by Shizu-chan than by some of my clients and their guns, at least my death will be an amazing one. But, who said am going to die today? Wiggling out of my jacket I land down on the ground, taking my last knife I had hidden in my right sock, I aim at the blonds face and jump up to slash him, only to see him turning his face and backing away, though a small scratch on his right cheek is visible as a drip of blood rolls down his cheek. For some reason he looks so good being marked by me… As if I'm marking him as mine. ...wait, did I just really think of that?

"Why you little shit…!" hearing an animalistic growl he dashes towards me with a punch and hits me in the stomach, making me cough and shudder, as pain shoots through me like electricity. Shit, why didn't I dodge that?!

Shizuo's POV

"Why you little shit…!" having enough of these cuts I see red as I land a punch on the flea, punching him in the stomach and hearing him cough and some blood splatters on my white shirt. Ha! Now I got you!

"...flea?" I ask quietly as he doesn't move, the surprisingly light body going limp and hangs on my fist. Standing frozen for a moment I lift the raven up by the front of his shirt only to see a calm face. For a moment I thought I really did kill him with the last blow, but then felt a small breath. Good, he's alive… ...for some reason I got scared I really killed him, but wouldn't I be happy if he died?

"..." standing confused with my own feelings right now I sigh heavily and grab the raven, throwing him over my shoulder, "Why am I doing this even…" I mumble as grab the fleas jacket and start walking out of the alleyway, seeing it is getting really dark already and the street lights are turned on. How did it get late so fast? Well, time does fly fast when you are chasing this annoying pest. Adjusting the body on my shoulder I start to walk towards the infamous underground doctor's apartment. I don't know why am I taking the flea there, but I can't just leave him like this out cold. ...I should but I just can't for some reason. Damn it, I need to check my own self at Shinra's while am at it.
