Hello there! This is my first fanfiction, I hope someone will enjoy it xD

I didn't write a plot because I didn't want to spoiler anything :3

I warn you that I want to try to write something where the characters are more "in character" as possible, and that could make the fic a bit "heavy". Also there will be some serious topics here.

I accept any kind of critics, about the language (english isn't my motherlanguage), the characters and the story, so please feel free to write what you think, it will help :) Enjoy!

~*IZAYA'S POV*~

"IZAYAAAAAAAA"

CRUSH

Izaya jerked to his right, avoiding the collision with a giant widescreen for half an inch

That was close… and where the hell did he even find that thing?!

"Why don't you just let me go? This is becoming annoying, Shizu-chan"

"THE HELL I WILL" said the blond, keeping to throw random pieces of city at the informant "I told you to keep your sorry ass out of my sight!"

"You know Shizu-chan, not everyone's life is useless like yours, I was here to take care of my business, not to see you"

For once Izaya was telling the truth

I tried to avoid him, but that monster has that sniff of his! And also, I didn't think I could run into him at the fucking 2 a.m.!

"SHUT UP" said the fortissimo of Ikebukuro trying to reach for the brunette that had already resumed his running

I feel quite strange

Actually, I feel like shit.

Shizuo stopped to uproot a pole in the middle of the street, so Izaya tried to vanish from his sight sneaking into an alley

By now, everything seems to have a tail of copies of itself behind, just like that common, funny windows glitch in Windows XP

Darkness is not helping, but maybe I could take advantage of it…

"Izayaaaa-kuuuun where do you think you're going?"

Maybe away from your sight, just like you wanted? And fuck, he saw me! – thought sarcastically to himself the mentioned black-dressed man, while leaving the alley from the other exit on the main street where he had planned to lose the blond inside the crowd.

In other occurrences, Izaya Orihara, the "powerful and skilled underground information broker" of Shinjuku would have surely remarked about Shizuo Heiwajima, "the Strongest Man in Ikebukuro", being a paradox, telling him to stay away from his sight while not letting him go, and he would have also felt amused by his renewed burst of rage, but

But now I'm too busy trying to stay alive!

Shouts were heard from the people around, as a reply to Izaya's appearance and Shizuo's voice.

It's 2 in the morning and we have a so varying audience

Really, this city NEVER sleeps

He turned around, facing the alley he had just left, waiting for his arch-nemesis to come

From the outside he seemed a brave man waiting for a giant to challenge him

The truth is, I cannot feel my legs anymore

Yes, I'm fucked.

He moved a hand to his hip, pressing it on the open wound that cut through it. A kind present from one of his acquaintances

Heh, I've been quite lucky tonight, haven't I?

"Izaya-kuuuuuun"

At the sound of Shizuo's voice, he pulled out his knife with his free hand, still feeling the hot blood flowing through his fingers.

It's not like a cut through my abdomen is enough to bring me down, but I already felt like shit before.

He could see the blade shaking.

The city lights all around me keep growing and growing, they're almost blinding

Ahah, that's not how I planned to die

Oh well, it actually is, but it is just…

"Izaya?"

He took his attention back to the blond, attracted by the sudden change in his tone.

Shizuo's look changed suddenly. His frown dropped completely leaving a freaked out expression on his face that Izaya link to anything at that moment

What's with that face Shizu-chan? That's not how I thought you would look like when you finally got me.

Shizuo took a hesitant step forward.

He's really close, isn't he?

The ground is strangely close too… Am I… down on my knees?

"Izaya!"

Still, huh?

I feel like I didn't complete a thought

Do you know that sensation of missing when you were thinking something but you just forget it during the stream of thoughts itself?

An important one

Ah yes..

.

.

.

It is just too soon.

"IZAYA!"

And then

Everything goes black.

Well, I hope it didn't suck too much for a first chapter xD I know it was pretty short, but this will have a looooot of chapter so I'll recover ;)

I like to let the character talk together with the narrator, I hope it is not too much of a burden xD

Also I don't think I'll upload regularly due of my task BUT I won't leave this story incomplete I swear xD so see ya soon~~
