This is a Shizaya fanfiction.

Disclaimer: I own none of these characters!

THIS STORY CONTAINS MALExMALE RELATIONSHIPS. You have been warned.

...Or, at least will.

Quick author's note: This story will most likely be dull, sloppy, and well... odd. I'll admit I am still 'wet behind the ears' for this sort of thing. A newbie is bound to make mistakes, but I'm hoping with practice, I'll get better at this. Until then, please take care of me! Oh, and enjoy! XD


It seems no matter how deep I shove that part of me, it still manages to dig its way back up, devouring my mind. I can't stand it. I hate it when someone beats me in strength, I don't care for anything else though. If it's something other than physical strength, I just shrug it off. It doesn't matter to me if they're smarter, because I know that I can break their neck if they become a threat.

So why, when I met that person, did I feel uneasy? I could tell just by looking at him that he wasn't all that strong, just a skinny, short weakling. But as soon as I came in contact with him, I knew I had to be weary, cautious.


"Oi! Where do you think you're hiding, eh? Orihara!" I bellowed. I had been searching around for him for quite a while now and I was really getting ticked off. I was about to give up when I saw a little rustle in a tree to the right of the park's walkway.

'Heh, so that's where you are...' I thought.

I circled around it so it'll look like left from where he is. Slowly, I crept up to the back of the tree, and jumped up grabbing the first branch as lightly as possible. Despite my appearance, I really am pretty graceful. I have to be in order to keep up with this acrobat, Orihara Izaya.

I slowly scaled the branches, so as not to get the brunette's attention. When I finally got up there though, I saw him smiling down at me with that devilish smirk of his. 'Well, I already knew all this sneakiness was futile,' I though as he snickered at me.

"Oh, Shizu-chan! How lovely of you to join me. I certainly hope you weren't trying to sneak up on me~"

"Hmph. Of course not, you are far too smart to fool, huh Louse?" I retorted, my voice dripping with sarcasm. I hate how he always looks down on me and my mind. I know I'm not the brightest, but I'm not stupid like he says. I'm just easily stirred up!

"Oh well, no matter. I found out some pretty interesting things~ want to know about them?"

I could see his eyes glittering with a mischievous glint, one that only the infamous Orihara Izaya would have.

I snorted, "Since you are the one bringing it up, I'd rather not. I know that it's better I don't get involved in your schemes." I searched in my pocket for a cigarette.

"Boo, Shizu-chan! You always have to ruin the fun. No matter, I must be off. Places to go, people to destroy, I do hope you understand." Izaya stretches out to jump from the branch he was on. "Oh, and before I go, you do realize smoking a cigarette in a tree is extremely ironic. I just thought I'd bring it up~ later, Shizu-cha~n!" And with that, he was gone.

I watched as he flitted down to Ikebukuro until he was lost in the crowd. I looked up and blew out the remaining smoke in my lungs. Then I crushed the cigarette in my hand so as not to set fire to the tree, then dropped from the tree myself. I decided I'd better get back to my job as a debt collector, or Tom might scold me again. I was in no hurry as I strolled from the park to the polluted streets of Ikebukuro.
