Author's Note: ((Okay, so I didn't explain this in the previous chapter, but this story is completely fabricated from a RolePlay between myself and a Shizu-chan on Facebook. The only thing done to it was that it was copy-pasted onto a document in the order it was posted.
I do not own Izaya or Shizuo, sadly.
Please enjoy our experimental roleplaying in literary form~! And if you want to flame, go ahead. My Izaya's an asshole so he'll just bug you anyways.))
Izaya had noticed-the fresh smell of Shizu-chan's blood was unmistakable...he knew it well. Hrm...well, the informant couldn't possibly hope to manipulate /this/ little Shizu-chan by being nasty now could he~? Noooooo~! Aaah, that's when he remembered, he did have something important to ask Shinra today, might as well~...Izaya reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a vibrantly crimson red handkerchief. It was a gift from Shinra himself for the man's birthday. Whatever Shinra thought Izaya would ever use it for he didn't know, nor did he care. But at least it was something to stifle the bleeding for now. Izaya crouched, flicking his little knife out and taking the blonde's hand in it. Aha...AHAHAHAHH~! It was hilarious~! He...Orihara Izaya, was going to wrap up Shizu-chan, /Shizu-chan/ like a little injured child~! Well, the man did have emotional issues, he was needy too...feh. A child~ Teehee~...a dangerous one. His eyes lit up as he remembered, carefully and swiftly removing he metal bits one by one with skill and parkour-honed precision. He knew-Shizuo didn't feel physical pain...Shizo was emotionally unstable-fragile even...and that he, Orihara Izaya was the reason for it all. If he played his cards right-juuust right, the mighty beast of Ikebukuro would be at the mercy of his very words~! AHA...HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA! HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH~! But belay that-...he'd have to behave first, to get that far...He ripped the cloth in half. It was already scarlet, so Shizu-chan didn't have to worry about people seeing blood stains. For how clingy and needy the monster was right now-for Izaya had yet to accept the fact that this Shizu-chan was tame-he'd never know what else the blonde would complain about! Izaya wrapped both hands neatly and tightly, snug even. "There...all better~?" he asked sweetly, mustering up the sweetest voice Ikebukuro's citizens sometimes accidentally fell in love with. It was the one he used around children in Raira, and around cute little girls...and Kanra-chan~
The blonde now stared at his palms, liking the feel of the cloth. A serene smile inched onto his face and he looked up at the other male. "Thanks Izaya." He said and looked up at the other male. The tone of the said man's voice brought his spirits up. His cheerful demeanor and his happy, or probably forced, smile made his chest grow with unknown warmth. For a moment, probably him going insane, he thought he saw the familiar face, the giggling woman. Without even thinking of his next action, instincts took over. The blonde placed on of the bandaged hands on Izaya's shoulders, leaning in ever so slowly and laying his lips on the raven's temple of his forehead. Shizuo leaned back, and then his face flushed out of embarrassment. "S- Sorry!" he apologized quickly and turned around; stuffing his hands in his pockets "G- Got carried away! Sorry man!" Shizuo stared at the floor in utter shock. Did he just kiss a man? A MAN? He even thought it was HIS Izaya for that sliver of the moment. Shit! Shit! Shit! Could he have made this moment any more awkward! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! He was totally screwed. This was ridiculous! This was a man! Not her! She died a long time ago! Auuuggghhh! Shizuo dug franticly in his pockets for his cigarettes, quickly finding the pack. The blonde let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. Thankfully he had his cancer stick pack. Pulling out one of the cigs, the blonde found his lighter next, lighting the stick, and taking a calming drag. Shizuo tried to recollect his thoughts from the moment and ran a shaky hand through his dyed hair. 'I'm so screwed! I just met the fucking guy! I just fucking kissed him! It was on the forehead right? S- So he wasn't a real thing! Yeah! Yeah! A mistake! Nothing real! Nothing!' he screamed in his head.
Izaya stared with one of his bored expressions-maaaah, this Shizu-chan really was...predictable. Human...PFFFT-...he then erupted into one of his maniacal cackles again. The sound echoed through the morning streets, disturbing passersby and warning all those that knew, at least in his head-Orihara Izaya was back~! Although the adventure had only been for a while, it wasn't over. Izaya sighed and shrugged. "Aaah, it's not the first kiss I'd gotten from a man...ahaha...AHAHAHAHAHA-" BAMM! Why...hello concrete, was his next thought-as a trashcan (AHAH! HE KNEW IT WOULD BE ONE!) Collided with him, taking his entire body to the side of the alley wall, and then the ground. He coughed. Well...wasn't he a favorite ragdoll today? Of course, the only thing left was that telltale "IIIIIZAAAAAYAAA-KUUUUUNNNNN~~~!" that came along. Thankfully, Shizu-chan was still a long ways off. But he was strong enough to throw the trashcan precisely at the informant a good...well...hrmm...fifty meters? Aaah yes, that seemed about right.
Shizuo's eyes widened as the raven flew to the side. "I- Izaya!" he stammered and ran to the others side. "What the fuck was that?" he shouted, turning his head to see from where did item was thrown. There in front of him, was man who looked... Exactly... Like him. "What the hell?..." he said, utter shock and confusion flooding his mind. That was him? No. He was here. 'Then who was that? Why was he holding a stop sign? What the fucking hell is going on?' he thought and stood up. "Izaya... You alright?..." he asked, anger starting to flood through his veins as he glared at the other man across him.
Izaya coughed and groaned slightly as he got up, but the evil grin he had when such things happened remained on his face. He glared and chuckled at Shizu-chan-reminding himself he might have to come up with different names for the two inside his head so he could differentiate them from each other. Well, Shizu-chan couldn't quite see his little secret yet now could he? That would be spoiling the surprise~! Just as the blonde began his little "Fleaaaa...I thought I told you never to come back to Ikebukuro" speech, Izaya threw off his fur coat-a prized possession mind you, and tossed it over Shizu-kun's face. "Neeee...you might wanna hide~ " He suggested to the other quickly before running right at the ex-bartender to lead him away at least. "I'll come back for you~!" he chimed cheerfully as the ex-bartender roared an "IM NOT DONE YET FUCKING FLEA!" and gave chase. The stop sign was swung, or rather, thrown at the raven as he ducked. It stabbed into the concrete, right next to Shizu-kun's foot. Well..that was a close one~! Let's hope little Shizu-kun behaves while Izaya took care of Shizu-chan~!
Shizuo gaped as his own face started coming dangerously toward him. "What the-?" he was about to question until his vision darkened. The raven had dumped the furry coat on top of his face blocking his vision. "Huh?" he questioned when he heard Izaya's voice start to trail off. Removing the piece of cloth off his face, Shizuo watched the battle between his other self and Izaya unfold. Thankfully Shizuo didn't flinch as the stop sign the other held came close to stabbing himself. The blonde stared at the sign for a moment, then without a second thought or hesitation, Shizuo picked up the sign in his grip, trying to fix the sign to the best of his capabilities, and laying it beside him. He would help fix the other property later, but the destruction unfolding before him by, well, himself made him feel like, and it really was his fault.
Izaya laughed and dodged and they danced their little dance of destruction. Before long, not even a few minutes, the whole street was desecrated into a unrecognizable state. Izaya grinned as the ex-bartender panted, before growling and running at him again. "Ahaha...you just can't get enough of me can you Shizu-chan~?" Izaya smirked and avoided two deadly punches. "Woahah~! Nasty, nasty, Shizu-chan~!" He teased before running away again, but not before throwing several knives into precise spots around the street. One at a traffic light, the other at a concrete neon sign, and several at electrical wires. The metal things came apart and all fell at the same time. Izaya laughed.. They wouldn't crush the beast-sadly, but they'd slow him down. The street was flooded with smoke and carnage, Shizuo trying his best to beat off the collapsing itself. Izaya laughed and ran back to the alley, grabbing Shizu-kun's hand without stopping. "Let's go~! Shizu-chan doesn't like to stay down for long~!" he sang. Now he'd head to Shinra's place...at least, that was the plan. Ahahaha! The game hasn't even started fully yet and he was already having so much FUN~!
Shizuo's eyes widened as the other grabbed his arm, retreating from his other self and away. Thankfully the blonde had enough time to grab Izaya's precious jacket as he ran. Did... Did he really just see what he saw? The other Shizuo, the one like him, who had just gotten crushed by so much metal…. Was starting to stand back up? He didn't even look like he hadn't even just got hit by more than a few tons of heavy material! Could he himself do that too? The blonde followed the raven quickly, then catching up, and then running faster than the raven, pulling the man behind him to get away from the other him. Shizuo ran and ran, turning down random roads and streets, just enough to where he stopped down a slim piece of street, this where only a few people seemed to walk down. Bending over to catch his breath, unused to running so far and long, the blonde stood back up and turned to Izaya asking "Are you alright? He didn't hurt you did he?" he asked, handing the raven back his fur-lined coat.
Izaya dusted off a few things from his favorite black v-necked shirt, panting slightly still. Jeez...he didn't like getting dragged around~! Aaaah...Shizu-chan really was annoying. He always ruined his favorite clothes-oh...Izaya looked up when the fur coat was presented to him. He flashed a grin and took it quickly, draping it over his shoulders. Aaaah...it felt odd without it. "Why thank you...and no...nothing but a fractured rib and a few cuts and bruises. Ahahaha~! Shizu-chan however would probably wake up with a slight migraine tomorrow...not that it ever stops him of course~ " He shrugged and turned. "Well...at least you managed to head down a certain...sort of street." They hadn't arrived at Shinra's, instead...it was the alley of Izaya's own apartment complex. Aaaah...home sweet home~! Meh...he could always call Shinra over. And it was probably safer that way too-we wouldn't want people around Ikebukuro seeing him with Shizu-chan on such...friendly terms, now would we? Not until it was the right time~ Heehehehe~..."C'mon Shizu-chan...~" he said, walking to the fire escape. He often used the stairs instead of the elevator, especially when he didn't want to be seen. "Shinra'll come over later to patch us both up, so let's just check on Kanra-chan~!" The thought of differentiating the two with different names already being brushed off. Meh, as long as they weren't together at the same time-it mattered very little.
Shizuo nodded at the raven, following right behind him. "Uh... Alright. But... Who's this Kanra person you've been talking about a lot?" the blonde ask curiously. But seriously? There was a Shinra here too? Was it really safe to let the nutcase do anything to him? With all those threatening experiments... Shizuo swallowed nervously.
Izaya chuckled and continued up. "Kanra-chan is my lovely little baby~!" he said cheerfully, grinning. Aaaah...he couldn't help but be smitten about his little spawn could he~? Ahahaha...not while he knew what he was slowly going to turn her into~! She'd be so.../perfect/ after that~! "She's only two, so she won't have any clue as to what you're saying from time to time~..." he shrugged-although hearts could already be visible flying from his being if this were any cornier. "She's almost a favorite.../almost/~ But aaahhh... love ALL humans~! AHAHAHAHAHA~! They're so interesting~! So fragile~!" he ranted, spreading his arms around to hug the world and turning on a heel to stop and laugh. "But ahh...she'll be quite lonely by now...so I'll have to tend to her first~ " he smiled and continued up, humming a silly little tune he carried when doing something...sinister. Or at least, planning it. Meanwhile, the little baby was-as Izaya suspected-busy cutting pretty little patterns of flowers into the couch. needless to say, the room was a mess. Ahaha...little Kanra-chan was adorable when she was bored. Oh the things Izaya could teach her! Just as she raised her little knife for the hundredth time, the informant opened the door to his-now ruined-apartment. "Kanra-chaaaaan~!" he sang as he did. The child looked up, little cow ears and tail wagging. "Daddy desu desu~! Daddy desu desu~!"
Shizuo stared at the raven, feeling a comical sweatdrop fall down his forehead. "I... I see. I doubt anyone could... Love the world." he replied, scratching his face nervously while thinking how more and more the man was to his own Izaya. Pfft. Kind of entertaining actually. The blonde eyed Izaya as he flung open his apartment door and called for his young child. Shizuo peered his head through the door, smiling slightly at how cute the child was. Thinking now... He wished him and his Izaya would've been able to have a child themselves...Shizuo sighed and waved awkwardly at the kid. "Uh... Hi. I'm Shizuo." he greeted the child, walking towards the child and eyes a scanning the couch. 'The kid did all this? Damn. Izaya wasn't kidding about turning her into something like that. Though... Those designs are kind of neat for a kid her age.' he thought and held his palm out to Kanra. "It's nice to meet you Kanra-chan. Your daddy has told me a lot about you." he continued, smiling sweetly at the kid.
The baby made a little sound, something like 'Muh!' and got up on those tiny legs-standing at 2 feet tall only, she can over at who she thought was her Daddy and hide behind a slim leg. "Daddy desu desu! Shizu-baka desu desu!" she cried, pointing to the blonde and almost crying. Aaaah yes, Izaya had taught her well so far. She may have been young-really yung, but even a baby can tell who they can and can't trust. Izaya merely laughed and picked her up.
"Shhh...that's not Shizu-chan...hrmm...that's merely..." Izaya looked at the blonde. Hrmph...well...this would be rather odd on his tongue. No matter, it wasn't like Shizu-kun was going to be around forver~! Heh. For now it was excusable. "That's...Shizu...Shizuo..." he said, almost frowning slightly. Kanra stared at the 'big scary man' and her little ears went up and down in thought-eyes like her 'daddys', flashed red in delight and she giggled. "Kanra-chan desu desu! Shizuo desu desu!" she said leaning over and reaching those tiny arms out to hug the other. Izaya blinked-it was...odd, for Kanra to get so...friendly with other people she wasn't acquainted with. Even Izaya, whom she thought was her daddy the moment she saw him was bitten a few times in the first days. "Hrmph...looks like baby likes you~...ahahaha...you're definitely not Shizu-chan, thats for sure~..." he didn't want to look /too/ impressed though-Shizu-chan or no-...wait. What was this..did Shizu-kun look...younger. Ah-...well that was odd. Maybe it was just the informent, but there was for sure a vibrant look in the other's eyes, and when he smiled earlier at Kanra. It made him look...younger, better, happier-in a sense? Hrmph...strange...he could already feel a smirk tugging at his lips. Aaaa, just how far was he getting to this fragile-hearted blonde already~?
Shizuo smiled at the child and bent down on one of his knees. The blonde took the little girl in his arms and laughed. "Hello Kanra-chan. Yup. I'm not that big old bad mean guy Shizuo. Nice to meet you. " he said, taking his fore finger and gently shaking the said childs hand. "Really? She seems sweet enough. Shes not bad at all." he replied with a grin. "I take it she met that other me didn't she?"
Izaya shrugged and walked over to his desk, looking at the sate it was in. Aaaaah, one thing was for sure, Kanra-chan sure knew how to make a mess of things~! Well, first thing was first-Izaya flipped his phone oopen and called Shinra. The child meanwhile mooed and bucked her tiny little horns at the blonde. She looked up with her biiiig red eyes and smiled. "Why Shizuo hands lookie funny desu desu?" he asked, taking one of the man's large hands into her to tiny tiny ones and examining it. Was Shizuo wearing gloves? Wasn't that Daddy's clothy thingy thingy? "Hrm~?" Izaya looked at his newly acquired toy. "Ahh...yes, she's very well acquainted with Shizu-chan~..." he grinned deviously before lying-quite easily at that, "The poor thing was almost crushed by a bus for merely looking at me~!" Good, yes...the more he put Shizu-chan in a bad light, the more favor he'd gain from Shizu-kun. "It's a good thing I"m fast or we both would've been roadkill~!" he said laughing-knowing very well that it'd hurt the other thanks to the allusion to the other world's Izaya. Manipulating words were easy enough, but he had to wait for a proper reaction before proceeding.
Shizuo smiled at the young girl, letting her examine his hand. "I got a little cuts. Do you know what those are? By you stabbing that couch, I'm sure you would understand." he said with a grin. The blonde then turned to the other, eyebrows furrowing and a low growl in place. Gently covering the girls ears the best he could, Shizuo hissed back to Izaya "That bastard... I'll kick his ass and send him straight to hell where he belongs. A monster like him doesn't deserve to live... Wow. Makes me sound like I want to kill myself." Shizuo removed his palms then from Kanras ears and look down. "Why would myself do that? It doesn't make sense. With the Izaya I knew, I found her so irritable at first... But we got along because we found out be harbored feelings for each other..."
If Izaya had a music CD playing in his head it would have come to an abrupt, screeching stop. "...PFFFT-!" he bit his bottom lip and tried to keep from keeling over. The thought of /Izaya/ any Izaya, himself or her, having /feelings/ for SHIZU-CHAN~! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It was so...so stupid~! So pleasantly idiotic~! "Aha...khh-teehe...PFFTghh..." the informant made little sounds as he tried his best not to laugh. In fact, it was too good~! He stumbled over nothing and ended up curled up on the ground snickering and still trying not to laugh. "Khh-th-the mere thought...aaah...aha..." he sighed and sat up, closing an eye and smirking. "Since the /Izaya/ you know was a woman, I can see how that's possible~..." he then shrugged and stood again. Yes, a woman's heart was easier to claim. Not that Izaya minded gender, but it was understandable~...
But he did take note of the other's devotion. It was...almost cute. ALMOST-Izaya made sure in his mind to remember that. This was still a /Shizu-chan/ no matter how nice or sweet he could be. At one point he hated Izaya too. That was something he couldn't forget. And those gestures were dangerous-the hugging, the kissing and then the overall unwillingness to let him go when the portal opened up. He'd ignore those, use them, forget them...he could, right?
Shizuo sighed, rubbing his temple in slight frustration. How could this man believe he and his Izaya's love was a mere joke. Slightly, it pissed him off, but it wasn't enough for him wanting to lunge for the mans throat. "Hey. I'm being serious here." he said as a matter of fact, setting Kanra down. "I loved her more than anyone, even if you do look, act, and talk like her, you still are slightly pissing me off. Don't laugh please." he pointed out, placing his right hand in his pocket, and his left hand to adjust his tie. Till, a thought struck him. "I don't have a job... Oh crap..." he said, bribing his hand to his face. More and more thoughts piled in. With his prescene in this world and not his own, he didn't have a job, own a car or house, money, pictures, his life, vanished and replaced by this other sorely Shizuos life. "I'm so screwed..." he grumbled.
Izaya took note of the other's dillemma. "Pshh...hah, please Shizu-ch-...Shizu...o..." he forced out, frowning slightly at how strange it seemed to be saying the name. "I cant take care of that..." he shrugged and waved a hand to brush it off. "There are actually a number of things you could do...it's not like you're unknown in this town...you could stay here and help me out, or I'm sure there's /something/ I can do out there to get you a job. I know people..." he grinned. "And I was simply laughing because I'd never fall in love with a protozoan. Err...well...I suppose my Shizu-chan is protozoan, so I picture your Izaya viewed you the same for a while...~" Even when the words would've stung, he kept smiling. Ahahaha...Shiki-san could always do him a favor, and seeing as Shizu-chan's inhuman strength was well-feared and desired, it would be easy. Or the informant could provide for the blonde himself-of course, he'd have to do something in return~...Izaya smirked, many many possibilities flooding his mind just as worried flooded the blonde's mere moments ago. Kanra meanwhile was busy chewing on her little flickblade.
Shizuo sighed and shrugged replying "A teaching job is what I liked most. Is it possible I can still work at Raira? Or I could try and tutor yer kid." Shizuo then bent down, rubbing the small girls head gently. "Kanra-chan. No biting that. If you slip. That will get you a ouchie." he tried to explain to the girl in the best of his ability. The blonde than stood back up, grinning at the other. "I think this'll be fun. Don't you think Izaya?" he said, again one of his truly happy smiles forming on his face. "You can still call me 'Shizu-chan' whatever if ya want. I can see it's a difficult task for you to say my real name." he added.
Izaya liked the idea of having a sort of baby-sitter for Kanra-chan. It sure did cut some ropes~! He'd be able to wander around without worrying about where Kanra-chan might've gotten herself. But...Shizu-chan of all people...that could be dangerous. But the child-"Hrm...well...I suppose...Kanra, can you get rid of that?" he asked, referring to the ruined couch. "Daddy's getting a new one." The baby looked at the couch for a little, opening her mouth and letting the knife drop freely. She then walked over and picked it up by a leg and tossed it out the window-quiet easilly. Yes, Shizu-chan would probably be able to teach her a thing or two-or the two could teach each other~! Ah~! There~! That was perfect~! "Alright...well...so you'll stay here with Kanra-chan and teach her~? I'll put a roof over your head and have Namie cook for you if you'd like~..." he said, smiling. It was good for now, at least while he figured out what to do next with his little toy.
Shizuo blinked in shock as Kanra flung the coach as if it were nothing."I... I thought I was that only..." he blinked in utter confusion, then looked at Kanra, to Izaya, the window, and back to Kanra. 'Oh jeez... Makes me think what happens when she has a temper tantrum...' he thought, crossing his arms across his chest in thought. "Hm... Alright. I'll look after her. Thanks Izaya. Your a nice guy." he said, grinning happily. "But hey, I'm not gunna be locked up all day long forever. Do I ever get the chance to beat that other guys ass in?" he asked, a low growl emanating from his lips. He was so pissed off! More so at himself! How could a Shizuo, himself even, try to harm these two? They were so sweet, innocent, kind and without a father or another to help them! It was ridiculous! A man raising a child by himself... RRrgggggghhhh... Just the thought pisses him off. Even the few signs of clenching his teeth, his eyes closed to control his anger, and grasping tightly on his fore arms showed he was ready tp loose it. But not around the girl. He wouldn't do that. He'd go find a wall or something in the next building over.
And with that the deep evils in Izaya began to emerge and he smiled-it was one of his happier, insane smiles. "Ah...well...~..." he looked as if he'd think it over. HAHAHA~! This was too easy~! It was perfect~! Absolutely perfect~! AHAHAHAHAHHA! Yes, yes YES~! "But Shizuo..." he said, pulling on his sad mask, "What if you get hurt~? Surely you don't think Shiu-chan will take to seeing you very lightly...worse, you might get killed~!" ...or they could end up killing each other~! Oh joy, OH JOY~! HAHAH-AAAAHAAHAHAHAHA! This was too good to be true~! He needed to be pinched~! Kanra hobbled over like a little fat penguin to the blonde, sitting in front of his with her legs splayed out and her hands in front of them. "Shizuzu desu desu~!" he said, raising her arms. "No, no bad~! Shiu-chan later hurty you desu desu! Stay desu desu!" she demanded-Kanra always got what she wanted. Ahahaha...or at least she thought she did.
Shizuo stared at the other. The sad look on his face seemed... Out of character. "Uh... I won't get hurt. And since he seems stupider than me, I doubt he'd have a chance." Shizuo replied, smiling at the other in reassurance. The blonde stare back down at the girl, the smile widening on his features. Reaching out he gently rubbed the girls head and replied "I won't get hurt Kanra-chan. I have too much to live for to just die." Shizuo then got up, walking towards Izaya. That man... He caused so much trouble for these two. Rage poured through the blondes mind, but his actions seemed calm. Just the thought... Of him losing Izaya twice... And by himself... Again... This was too much. He wasn't going to let this happen! "I'll protect you both. That guy won't be a problem anymore." he said and pat Izayas face gently, hoping that sad, even if it was feint, expression would wipe away; hugging the raven into a calm embrace. "I couldn't protect her... But I'll protect you." he whispered softly.
Woah-WOAH, WOAH! This was getting a little...TOO touchy~! "A-aha...I-I see..." Izaya forced out, trying /not/ to go into a frenzied spree with his flickblade-contact from Shizu-chan was..never good. It was uncomfortable! And...j-just weird! Okay, okay calm down...keep your head on Izaya...yes. Right. This was all just part of the game~! Ahaha, yes yes that was it...nothing more. But Izaya couldn't help but stiffen at the contact. Hrmph...hopefully Shizu-kun would think he was homophobic or something. "Ahahaha...sorry...getting a hug from Shizu-chan isn't exactly something I'm used to~..." he said confidently, gently putting his hands on the other's chest to push him away-or try to. Kanra merely began flapping her ears about, watching the two. Yey~! Oniichan ook nice! And he like Daddy too~! She was happy. Even though the face was the same, he seemed really good~! Not like big meanie, meanie Shizu-chan! "Kanra want hug from Daddy too!" she said, pitter-pattering over.
Shizuo let go of Izaya, laughing and pointing at his face. "Yer stuttering. Somehow I think ya enjoyed it." he teased. Shizuo let out a hearty laugh and looked down. Kanra was just so cute, he wished, deep in his heart, his Izaya and himself could've had a child like her. "Hold on Kanra-chan." he cooed and picked the girl up, handing her to her father. "I believe this is yers." he said, a grin on his face. These moments, admittedly, were ones that he'd like to live with forever.
Izaya stared-this was...not good. Sh-Shizu-chan couldn't possibly be this...this tame...! No, lies~! "I'd rather you not assu-" Ah...Kanra...Izaya took her into his arms, blinking-oh shit. Tch...stupid, stupid, Shizu-chan! Izaya cursed inwardly...how could he? How could he have possibly gotten distracted enough not to notice when Kanra had moved? Shit...these were dangerous waters. "Please do try to c-contain yourself...Shizu-chan..." Izaya said, almost smiling-it was hard. But it was never this hard before...then again, he'd never met such a Shizu-chan. This wasn't good…he needed to be careful. It was gross, right? That's…thats why he was in shock. That was all..right? YES! Izaya screamed in his head. Yes. Yes. He was always right-always...it's alright. It'll e alright-but Izaya knew then. He'd have to dispose of both blondes quick. But he was so infuriating! Izaya snapped-he didn't need to be laughed at by some protozoic brute! He shook, oblivious to that fact itself, and swallowed hard from getting-aah...he was...he was angry? Angry. Orihara Izaya. Angry. That didnt-FUCK! Shizu-chan had even managed to push his buttons-by LAUGHING. TCHH...shit calm down...calm down...FUCK!
"Daddy desu desu?" Kanra asked-daddy went all jiggly-wiggly like a jelly. That not good normally...uh-oh desu desu... OAO
Shizuo stared at Izaya with curiosity. "Contain myself? Uh... I'm not the one stuttering." he replied as a matter of fact. Why did Izaya seem like he was containing himself? What was going on? The blonde then noticed Izaya was suddenly starting to shake. Oh shit! Did he embarrass the guy? Or is he crying? Oh shit, oh shit! "Hey man. Sorry. I didn't mean to do anything. Stop shaking. Sorry." he apologized quickly. Shizuo waved his hands on front of the other, hoping to knock him out of his shaky attitude. "Hey. You need something? Sorry 'bout that." he apologized once more. Was it his fault? Did he do something wrong? He stared at the girl in his arms. She seemed... to have a bit of worry on her features. Oh crap. Did she know what was going on?
Izaya took in a shaky breath. Again-this was insane! "Aha-AHAHHAHHA-HAHAHAHAHAHAH
AHAHA! HAHAHAHAH-AHAHAHHAHAAHAAAAAHA
AAHHAHAHA!" Wh-what was that? He was so...what was that feeling just now? It was like a mixture of anger and-was that...No...no. It was his mere love for serendipity...it had to be. Izaya's mind began to wander in his laugh-aaah, it would be weird to have a /nice/ Shizu-chan~! So strange~! it was okay-Izaya tried to convince himself. It was alright...this was just a little fluke. He wouldn't drop his mask. Orihara Izaya was not some ordinary pathetic human. He was Orihara Izaya! And he got his way. Ignore it. Yeah, that's what he would do. That...that was it. And, putting thoughts back into some random box under lock and key at the back of his mind, Izaya calmed down-or seemed to. He'd never lose to such petty emotions-especially NOT to Shizu-chan. "Haaah~ " he sighed, satisfied ad straightening himself.
Kanra looked up at her Daddy-who almost dropped her in his mad laugh. "Daddy desu desuuuu..." she whined, pacing tiny hands on his face. At least he didn't go all mad and make Shizuo-niichan go bye-bye like everyone else~! That was good~!
Shizuo flinched at the sudden insane laughter. What... was so funny? Shizuo's face wiped into a look of complete concern. Just... The laugh seemed... Forced? It was like Izaya was opening up emotions, yet hiding them away. Like a folded page as a bookmark. When you tried to find that one page you left off, it seemed to be hidden amongst the more pages that the story contained. The raven was trying to hide something. Shizuo didn't know what, but it did truly worry him. When the others laughing finally calmed down, the blonde took in a fresh deep breath. "It seems... Yer the one who needs more help than mere Kanra-chan needs." he stated, placing his hand on top of the ravens head. "I don't know what kind of shit you've been put through, but you need to know, there are people who are good and bad. That other guy, the other me, is one of the bad. I hope to rid him for ya. And if it takes my life to make both yers and Kanra's safe, I'll do it." he said and feeling his heart thump in his ears. To know he could save another Izaya, do fix his mistake and have a do over, made his heart swell in happiness. "I'll treat you two like the family I never got to have." he whispered, reaching out with his other hand to gently brush Kanra's head in reassurance.
Wasn't the lock strong enough? Wasn't the key lost? Or did Shizu-chan manage to just pick up that little box and throw it against the wall, shattering it to pieces and letting all hell inside break lose like he did everything else? Izaya didn't know. But what he did know was all he saw was red. Literally-like a bull. Knowing he'd regret this later, he slapped the man's hand away and snarled, "You sicken me!" he the grinned-"Ahaha-AHAH! That's what's wrong! You overgrown idiotic, moronic protozoic monster~! Don't you laugh at me~! I hate you! I fucking hate you! I want to see your body mangled and col-" Izaya gasped when he realized-and even now his knife was in his hand, poised above the other's heart. He dropped it. Fuck...fuck...he couldn't think! When did he stop breathing-tch...it must've been that double no, triple blow to the head. He was just tired...a lot had happened today and it was hardly five yet... Without even needed to force it, Izaya's body went limp and calm. he hated this. These times when he just-completely lost it. He chuckled-for real this time. It was...so human of him. So pathetic..."Aha...oh dear..." he sighed, putting Kanra down and walking around the desk to sit in his favorite spinning office chair and gaze out the window. Blank eyes scanned all the humans walking down there-...hrmph. Slowly, Izaya picked up his broken mask-and it was like new. He put it back on...
Shizuo's eyes widened as his hand was smacked away. Slowly he brought his hand down, letting Izaya scream to his hearts content. Only when he blinked after, did he realize a knife was held right above his heart. The blonde didn't move, didn't flinch. When the other fell into the seat behind a one of the desks. Shizuo sighed and bent down, picking the girl up in his arms. "Hey... Just so ya know. I don't hate you. If ya wanted me dead... Then kill me. Just smile, for real later." he replied calmly, gently brushing Kanra's head. Why would Izaya suddenly crack? Was it something he did? He knew the other was hurt... But to this extent. Izaya broke loose. His mind faltered and his heart was displayed for all to see. Just for that glimer of the moment. But Shizuo knew. Knew that somewhere, not all those words were true. That they were held back by something much greater. His heart beat much more loudly, knowing and gaining this new leverage of information in his mind.
A mild chuckle emerged from the informant's smooth voice-that arrogant smirk played once again on those thin, sinful lips. Izaya spun the chair around, entwining his hands and resting elbows on the desk, laying his chin on the entwined hands soon after. He closed an eye in a mock wink, that smile never leaving his lips. The playfulness in his eyes was back. "Ahahaha...I suppose I've had one too many blows to the head~ " he said. "I apologize~!" Aaaah, it was very convenient to have something to pin the blame on~! Afterall, Izaya didn't normally get hit so many times on a normal day~! But that was it...this wasn't any normal day~! Thinking straight again, Izaya remembered everything step by step. Just look, just look in front of him~! A living, breathing, Shizu-chan~! At his mercy and disposal~! It was worth it...worth every last impact to the head~! As much as he hated the thought of losing brain cells and becoming as dumb as the protozoan, at least he had a prize. And great one at that. A slim finger began moving some small stacks of papers over each other to reorganize them thanks to Kanra's little mishap. "You will be working here on most days, but I suppose your request on leaving can be granted by a special order from Shiki-san..." Izaya said in a very business-like manner, which he always used when he was satisfied with whatever he had planned for his unfortunate victim. Of course, that smooth deadly tone in his voice was forever there, when did it ever leave? "I suppose it'll be something along the lines of training you, he's familiar with Shizu-chan and I suspect your strength level is smilier. I saw how impressed yo were with the brute's utter refusal to die even after the little /trap/ I set~ " Izaya chuckled and leaned back, crossing a leg over the other. "You will be able to do the same in no time~!" he said in a pleased tone. "Oh, all sorts of things…" and this is where he let his voice escalate to that of an excited little child, "-taking more than ten bullets, catching metal traffic lights with your head, pounding beautiful craters into the road…" and he went on for a while before there was a knock on the door. "Aaah~…here he is. I'll let him ten to you first~!" he said, getting up and sauntering over to the door to open it.
Kanra clung to the blonde, tiny fingers gripping into the office shirt he had on. "Muuuh..." she smiled, "Daddy okay, desu desu~!" she said. Yes desu desu! Daddy was fine~! Sometimes he just went a liiiiittle off the teeter-totter~! Her big eyes blinked and went watery as she yawned...it was time for little Kanra's afternoon nap~!
Shizuo stared at Izaya, recognizing the same now familiar smile plaster on his face. Like a horrible mask put back together but sticky tack. Shizuo sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, knowing that THIS Izaya was going to be a pain in his ass. "I guess. Maybe you should get checked up on that." the blonde pointed out, raising his finger to poke the others forehead. "Just say'n. Don't worry 'bout it though I guess." Shizuo then thought, just a slimmer of a glance, he noticed a light flash in the others crimson eyes. /That/ gave him pretty edgy feelings about him being around the insane guy. Shizuo then examined as Izaya filed through some pretty complicated looking papers. What did this guy work for? It brought more curiosity to the blondes tongue. More question he knew the man probably would avoid answering. The blonde could easily tell Izaya didn't like talking about his feelings, or emotions, or really much of anything personal, only as long as it benefited himself. Shizuo glanced at Kanra in his arms, and gave a calm smile, gently rubbing her head. "Time fer a nap huh? Hey Izaya, where's her room? I'll take her up there." he asked.
