Two weeks ealier…

Humans, humans, humans. That was all Kizuki ever heard and thought about. Everything that happened was justified by a human. Humans were interesting. Humans were mysterious. All of their emotions like happiness, fear, sadness, anger, love, hatred. It was all interesting. But all she ever asked for was a fair chance.

"Don't get me wrong, Izaya-kun. I completely agree with you… but…" Kizuki started after hearing about Izaya's life long devotion to his interest. His brow furrowed and he placed his head on top of his hands. Almost out of pure interest of what he had to say.

"Isn't there…. Any particular human you value above the rest? Humans are interesting…. Yes… but there has to be atleast one you favor the most…" She added, looking slightly embarrassed about her accusation. "A-After all…. I know I have a favorite…" She added, playing with her hair slightly.

Izaya took that time to think for a moment. He definitely got what she was hinting at and it brought a mischeivous smirk to his face thinking of all the ways he could tease her about her attatchment. He knew that it was going to be fun to watch her tremble as he toyed with her strings of emotion, which was one of her wishes. She wanted to be his puppet. She had no problem with that. Izaya stood up and started pacing around the room in an attempt to intimidate her.

"I love the entire human race. It'd be very difficult to pick a favorite, Kizuki-chan." He started, glancing up at her breifly to watch her become flustered. "But now you have me curious… who is your favroite human, may I ask?" He said, a look of triumph coming over his sly smile when he relized he had her cornered.

"Well, uh…. I can't really say. It's a secret…" She stammered. Normally she was a lot like Izaya. She was calm and collected, and she had the urge to be the asshole of the world. But he just stomped on her parade whenever she opened her mouth.

"Well, that's fine…. But chances are…. I already know." Izaya teased, causing an even bigger blush to form on Kizuki's face. He walked behind her and started approaching her from behind. "And I know everything…. I do research… there isn't anything you can hide from me…" He added, moving a piece of her hair away from her ear. "But about my favorite human…."

It was at that moment that Kizuki wanted to melt. She was frozen in place, but she could sense the emotion on his face. It was a look of triumph, and it was almost sinister. It was that typical face he had when he was up to no good. It was almost like when he made that girl almost commit suicide. Sinister, just like his disposition.

"You're definatley one of my favorites, Kizuki-hime." He whispered in her ear, making chills run up her spine. And just to tease her, he immediately walked back to his desk and put his feet up on the table.

"I find you very interesting, actually. I've observed you for a long time. You're very entertaining to watch." He said, smirking at her almost seductively. Kizuki quickly gathered herself and lit some fire in her hands.

"Watch it. I'll toast you." She said with a glare. She was just bluffing, and he knew that, but he also knew he didn't want to try her patience. She was fun to toy with but her emotions could quickly turn into anger if it wasn't taken to moderation.

"Well, now. I meant no offense, of course." He said, taking his feet off the table and turning his attention to the chat box that suddenly popped open.

Taro Tanaka Is anyone here?

Kanra Yes. Hello, Tanaka-san. It's been a while.

Taro Tanaka Hey Kanra have you heard about the recent serial killings?

Kanra You bet I have. The group called "Itsuwaribito" has been killing many people when they kidnap them because they're victims don't pay the ransom in time.

Setton That's horrible.

Taro Tanaka I hear they like taking teenage girls that are related in some way to businesses.

Kanra They recently took a young girl and her father didn't pay the expensive ransom so the beheaded her.

Setton ….

Kanra And they sent the head in the mail to the faher.

Setton Didn't they track the return adress?

Kanra All of them have been faked and they leave no DNA trace.

Setton Someone needs to stop them.

Kanra Some people say the Dollars are involved…

Taro Tanaka What? The Dollars?

Setton I doubt the dollars have anything to do with it…

Kanra We can't be so sure…. Recent incidents with the Headless Rider and the Slasher have been playing tricks on people's minds lately.

Taro Tanaka If anyone has anything to do with it it's probably The Yellow Scarves.

Kanra That's another rumor I've heard…

Setton How do you know all this, Kanra?

Kanra I observe. I actually find all this entertaining.

Taro Tanaka I'm going to go look into this.

Setton Me too.

This chatroom is now empty.

It was then that he realized that Kizuki had been looking over his shoulder.

"Izaya, how come you never told me about this..?" She asked, kind of upset. Her life has been at risk for a long time and she never knew it.

"I wanted you to find out on your own. You need to get out more." He teased. Kizuki sighed and flopped down on the sofa in the middle of his office.

"Just what I want to think about when I walk home tonight in the dark." She said, a slight fear in her tone.

"Aww… is the big bad witch afraid to go up against a few criminals?" He teased again, resulting in a dirty look. "Well don't worry about it, because you're staying here until this matter is resolved." He watched her face twist at his last sentence.

"You only have one bedroom." She stated quickly, almost like it was her ticket into not staying there.

"So? I don't bite." He teased. "Unless you want me to…"

"Ha-ha. Very funny. Have you ever got a job as a comedian?" She retorted.

"You know, that Tsundere attitude of yours is quite alluring. How do you do it?" He asked, showing a look of sarcastic interest. Kizuki scowled in return.

"Whatever. Just get your sleeping bags out." She scolded.

"Sleeping bags? Why use those when there's a perfectly good Queen size bed in the bedroom?" He said, narrowing his eyes at her. "Like I said, I don't bite…"

"Fine, fine. There's no use even arguing with you." She said with a look of disgust. Kizuki hated losing arguments, but how could she pass up the chance to share a bed with Izaya Orihara? She'd be crazy to. But she couldn't help but convince herself she was crazy that she didn't.

Alright, children. The offer is still out there… send me a message if you think there should be a lemon out there!

I'll be waiting.
