Shinra brought Izaya into his living room and set him onto the couch.

"Well then, let's see what wrong with you… You said you're hurt, right? Where exactly?" Shinra asked, looking over Izaya for any obvious injuries.

"My right arm and left leg hurt" Izaya said, wincing when Shinra examined the mentioned areas.

"Ah, ok… Well you're not seriously hurt, you're just going to have a nasty bruise or two and it's going to hurt quite a bit for a while. I have some strong painkillers if you want some." Shinra said walking towards his medicine cabinet and taking out some tablets he thought were the painkillers. "Here?" He said, holding the tablets out towards Izaya along with a glass of water.

"Thanks…" Izaya said, taking the medicine while looking suspiciously at Shinra. He wasn't entirely ok taking medicine from Shinra, he didn't trust him completely, and not that he thought Shinra would try to kill him either, but Shinra probably wouldn't miss the chance to try a new medicine on him.

"Those painkillers are strong so they'll probably knock you out for a while but they last a long time so you can nap on the couch for a while if you want." Shinra said, remembering exactly what the tablets were, they were painkillers, but he'd been told they had sketchy…. 'Side effects'.

"Right…" Izaya replied, lying down on the couch. "Where's Celty?" he asked, trying to start a conversation.

"Out doing a job, she didn't tell me all the details, but it didn't seem too bad…" Shinra responded. "So… uh... Why did Shizuo of all people bring you here?" Shinra asked, Shizuo's actions worrying him.

"I don't know" Izaya said. "I guess he was being nice? Don't know why though…"

"Uh-huh…" Shinra said.

They talked about random things until Izaya fell asleep, which didn't take long. When Izaya woke up his pain was gone, the painkillers had worked, but there was something…. Wrong… Something very wrong.

Shizuo walked through the streets, the image of a pitiful Izaya burning in his mind. He had no idea the flea could be so pathetic and pitiful. He didn't want to kill something like that. He tried to think of why, but gave up when he noticed thinking about it only made him angry. That's when he noticed someone running towards him.

"What the hell?" He said, squinting to see who it was.

"Izaya… Did you not get the message last time!?" He called out but Izaya didn't stop running towards him.

"Izaya?" Shizuo said stepping back a step when the man in front of him failed to slow down before he crashed into the bigger man. Shizuo almost fell over but caught himself only to be scratched at and punched by the smaller man.

"Uh… The hell?" Shizuo asked, looking down Izaya.

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT YOU PROTOZOAN. OUT OF ALL THE DOCTORS YOU COULD'VE BROUGHT ME TO IT HAD TO BE THAT MADMAN, DIDN'T IT!?" Izaya practically screamed while attempting to injure the blond.

"Did Shinra do something?" Shizuo asked, clearly shocked by Izaya's sudden show of anger. Shizuo didn't think he had ever seen the man angry before. At least, not like this.

"Did Shinra do something? DID SHINRA DO SOMETHING!? LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT SHINRA DID!" Izaya shouted. He made sure the street was empty before pulling down his hood to reveal two large, fluffy cat ears. "THIS IS WHAT SHINRA DID."

"Pfffffft" Shizuo couldn't help but laugh. This was what he was so angry about?

"DON'T LAUGH!" Izaya cried out. "THIS ISN'T FUNNY!"

"Actually it kinda is" Shizuo said, petting Izaya's ears, surprised at how soft they were.

"DON'T TOUCH" Izaya shouted, swatting Shizuo's hand away.

"Don't shout" Shizuo responded. "Anyway, what do you want me to do about it?" Shizuo inquired.

"Obviously, this is your fault, so you're going to fix it right now" Izaya said.

"First, how is this my fault? Second, how am I supposed to fix it?" Shizuo asked.

"First, you're the one who injured me and brought me to Shinra off all people who then gave me dodgy medicine. Second, I don't know, but you have to take responsibility" Izaya responded.

"Responsibility?" Shizuo said, a look of confusion on his face.

"I know, I've told all my clients I'm taking a holiday so until I'm back to normal you have to take care of me" Izaya said, smirking.

"WHAT?" Shizuo shouted.

"Now's who the one who's shouting" Izaya said.

"Shut up! What do you mean 'take care of you' and why didn't you just say you were sick, why a holiday?" Shizuo asked.

"You have to feed me and tend to me until I'm better and even if I said I was sick my clients would still come looking for me" Izaya answered.

"I just have to drop of food and make sure you don't kill yourself?" Shizuo asked, his head tilting.

"No, you have to bring me to your place" Izaya said.

"HELL NO" Shizuo roared, obvious displeasure now painted on his face. Like hell he was going to let that flea live in with him.

"It wouldn't be good if my clients saw people entering and leaving my house if I'm supposed to be away so sorry, but you don't have any real say in the matter" Izaya said, starting to see a way to get his revenge.

Grrrrr. Shizuo growled as he tried to think a way out of this, but his brain didn't want to listen to him today. "FINE, BUT IF YOU DO ANYTHING TO ANNOY ME, I SWEAR I'LL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF" Shizuo shouted as he grabbed Izaya by the arm and started to drag him towards his home.

Sorry that it's going a little slowly but I promise it will get good soon. Well I hope it'll be good… I'll get the next chapter done as soon as I can so bear with me until then, Ok?
