The hustle and bustle of Ikebukuro, at the surface it looks like normal. People going out to their jobs, school, or some other things. But looking closer, in the faces of some of these people they seemed relaxed. Like a weight has been lifted off of everyone. Three high schoolers walking to their favorite sushi restaurant, as if the events that happened months ago no longer matter. The mysterious black biker speeds past them, with a determined traffic cop after her. While the only thing on the cat ear motorcyclist's mind, is what she should cook her soon to be husband tonight.

So many others seemed to be at a inner peace. For the past 3 or so months, it felt like everyone had a normal life, including the so called monster of Ikebukuro. That monster is Shizuo Heiwajima, he is dangerous but only when angered. He can truly do amazing things, but these past few months felt more like a vacation. He felt so at peace, especially sense the flea that has caused so much unnecessary trouble vanished. To day was his day off so he was heading to Russia Sushi, he sees Simon and smiles politely.

"Ah Shizuo! Long time, not seen." Simon said with his poor English but with a friendly smile on his face. Shizuo knew it's been a little over a month sense he last been here to see Simon and others. His been focused on his job which feels too easy nowadays, word has spread fast about the flea supposedly being dead. That news stays closer in the world of gangs and underground businesses, so now the people he collects money from with Tom hand it over fast. Afraid of ending up as the dead information broker.

"Yeah, I've been focusing on work. But I'll come by and visit a bit more." Shizuo saying politely and heading inside the sushi joint. He recognizes a few faces there. The students from Raira Academy, Kadota and his unique group of friends, and Mairu and Kururi Orihara. He wasn't bothered by the two of them as he was with their brother, he sits at the bar and orders his usual. As he waits he hears the twins not that far from him. He didn't want to listen but he couldn't help but over hear her.

"Hello! Yes these is she, may I ask who I'm speaking with?" Mairu answers her phone a bit loudly and pauses as the person on the other line talks to her.

"Oh you worked for my brother? So why should I-" Mairu response was cut off by the person on the other line. Her cheerful disposition slowly deteriorated, Shizuo noticed her smile was gone and she looked a bit serious. He became more interested, but didn't want eavesdrop but he had to know what was going on in the phone. Especially if it involved Izaya. He tries his best to ignore Mairu, then he can feel his angry slowly starting boil. So far he heard some things like 'where are you', and 'are you sure?' From the sister of the damned flea.

"Brother... Gone?" Shizuo heard Kururi say in her quiet monotone voice as she watches her twin with worry in her eyes.

"Let's get our order to go, Kururi. We have to get to Mitsui Memorial Hospital." Mairu telling her sister her voiced was low and she tries to put on a smile but struggled. Simon comes back inside and goes to them to take their order. He noticed their atmosphere changed and Shizuo's as well, like his anger was slowly resurfacing. Simon never bother to ask him or the young twins what seems to be the matter, after being told they want their orders to go. Soon the twins left and he walks over to Shizuo, seeing he was slowly calming down but he still seemed angry.

"Shizuo, what is matter? One moment you happy now angry. Sushi will help." Simon getting Shizuo's regular put together.

"That damn flea... his still out there... but..." Shizuo said clutching his teeth in anger, but he was curious why were the flea's sister concerned over him. If he knew anything, he knew for certainty that Mairu and Kururi hated Izaya. They love Shizuo's brother more then their own brother, but here these time they were concerned for him. That was the only thing he wonders, what could have happened to the flea that can even make the twins concerned for him.

His eyes widen slight behind his blue shades. A thought occurred in his mind, a quiet disturbing one to even Shizuo. What if the flea's on his deathbed. The single idea of that happening, kinda worried him. He knew Verona, was the one who put the final blow on the flea before he vanished from the city. He thought back to that night and now, pitted him in some way. No one even bothered to miss him, not even Shinra noticed the flea's absence. He couldn't decide what to do, but if the flea is on his death bed, he'll stop by that hospital before work tomorrow. He needed to see the pest himself, one final time if he is to die.

Shizuo looks down and sees his typical order placed in front of him. His mix emotions of angry, curiosity and pity still filled his mind, affected his appetite deeply. He starts to poke at his sushi with his chop sticks, not sure about eating anymore. "I'll just take these to go instead, Simon. Lost my appetite for now." He tells Simon his voice low and his head hung down a bit. But he tries to fake a smile so the Russian didn't suspect anything. But that look couldn't fool the Russian that see through people like glass.

Simon made no comment about Shizuo's sudden change, he figured it had something to do with the Orihara girls that left a few minutes ago. Yes, the atmosphere that surrounded Shizuo had changed within a matter of minutes. Once the blonde muscle left the restaurant, Mikado Ryuugamine was curious why the blonde's mood changed so fast. The last time he witnessed the quiet mood change was when Izaya was around.

The other teens noticed their friend was in a deep thought of something. The blonde of the group moves closer, and flicks his forehead to snap his friend back to reality.

"Yo, Mikado. What were you thinking of?" Kida asked him curiously with a playful smile on his face. Anri sat next to Mikado while Kida sat across from them, Kida's girl Saki went to use the restroom while they waited for the food. Anri also curious, but had a gentle smile on her face wondering. What is one of her closet friends thinking so deeply about, she hasn't seen him that deep in thought in months.

"Oh I just was wondering what made Shizuo so upset earlier. That's all." Mikado answering calmly not wanting his friends to know completely that he was curious about Izaya. The subject dropped when Saki returned to their table and shortly their food.

In the sun room of the Mitsui Memorial Hospital, a raven hair, 24 year old was gently wheeled in the room. The sun gently entering the peaceful room full of other patients of the hospital, the nurse pushing him stops and moves to his side. The nurse smiling kindly at him. The 24 year old didn't notice at first, he was busy slowly studying the room. Seeing the pale blue walls and reddish brown furniture was place on both sides of the big room. He watches people play cards, talk, and read, it was so peaceful he smiles lightly and takes in the relaxing sent the filled the air.

"Is these comfortable, Mr. Ohirara?" Nurse asking him snapping him out of his thoughts remembering their was his nurse. He looks to him and smiles kindly towards her and nods yes as way to reassure her his fine.

For the nurse that stood in front of him, she was worried for her patient. Not only does these man have no memory of who he once was, but has a low chance of walking again. "Alright. The man who brought you here told us your sisters will arrive shortly. I'll be back," the nurse telling the patient who was now still lost in his own mind sat starring a bit surprised. He had learned something about who he was, a brother. He smiles happily a bit and letting the sunlight hit his face, to signify some sorta hope for him. He has a thought run through his mind.

I have a family... I guess I'm not alone. I wonder... if anyone else out there worries for me.
