Orihara Izaya was not a poor man.

He never has been.

However, when the chance to get more money arises, he'll take it.

Especially if it meant he could use the opportunity to make his favorite monster angry.

Which is what happened on that particular day, when the familar roar of his name was thrown his way, along with various objects, and the chase began.

However, everything seemed to happen in a different fashion.

Izaya grinned as Shizuo stopped to pick up a vending machine. Izaya hadn't anything better to do, so why run away? He stood and waited, making the fortissimo of Ikebukuro even angrier than normal.

Shizuo hefted the vending machine above his head, and just the way the beast was holding the vending machine, just the way it was angled, Izaya saw something small and shiny drop out of the machine.

It was rare to see Izaya drop his guard, let alone around Shizuo, however this was the 0.0000675% chance that Izaya did drop his guard. His curiousity got the best of him, and he walked forward to see what he had just seen.

Confused, Shizuo just held the vending machine over his head, and watched as the flea came closer before dropping to the ground and touching something that was on the ground.

The hell is he doing?

Izaya suddenly let a small laugh out, and Shizuo looked at him as though he were insane. Then, Izaya held up the object just enough so Shizuo could see it, and a bright flash of suprise melted through him as he saw the object and Izaya's wide grin.

There, in Izaya's hand, was a shiny gold coin, that had fallen out of the vending machine.

"Ne Shizu-Chan! I heard you were poor, so here, take this money as a girft from me to save you from your poverty~!"

Shizuo glared and dropped the vending machine on the Flea, before stalking back over to Tom, grumbling something about Izaya, no doubt about killing him next time.

Izaya, of course, was fine, however, he was having trouble containing the laughter that had spilled from him after he saw his enemy's face. The weight of the vending machine surely wasn't helping.
