Alright in this chapter Izaya's past comes out. I made him a little OOCish in this chap but not a lot. I like to keep the characters as close to the real ones as possible. I have a theory behind Izaya's character and it shows in this chap.(I came up with this theory from all the DRRR! I read and from the show. There were times when it hinted about this,so I took it and did what I could with it.)Oh and there's finally Shzaya in this :D enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: SHINRA:Allisson does not own DRRR! or any of its characters,anybody says differently I'll have fun cutting you open-grins-
ME:...What he said now on wards to the story!
'Shit!'I heard a sign being ripped from the ground and slowly looked back. He smirked evilly at me and I felt a shiver run down my body.'Focus Izaya!Your not alone this time!'I bolted for the nearest ally,practically joyful for my agility skills."Daddy!Whats goin on? Who's that man and why is he running after us?"
"He's someone I know from high school."I ran into a dead end."Damn it!"I put Tatsuomi down and turned around,guarding him with my body. A minute later Shizuo came walking into the ally. I instinctively moved back more,putting Tatsuomi against the wall. His sunglasses were tucked in his shirt,his eyes visible and readable. I looked down at his hands and saw that the sign was missing.'Must of thrown it at me while we were running. Why is he just standing there?'I looked up into his eyes and froze at the look in his eyes.'Is that-?...no there's no way...'
He started walking towards me and I swallowed the lump in my throat."You seem anxious flea."
I glared at him halfheartedly."Look,as much as I would love to talk with you I have matters that I have to attend to. So-"
"Matters more important then me?"He smirked.
I could feel my resolve leave me and I sighed in both annoyance and frustration."Well I never got a reply from you so I guess I can make some time. But make it quick,I have plans."He walked closer to me and didn't stop until he was directly in front of me. He grabbed the front of my jacket and pulled me closer to him,our faces mere inches apart. I narrowed my eyes at him,feeling a bit threatened but kept my hands at my sides."Izaya..."I looked up into his eyes and felt myself blush.'Damn human feelings. Stupid protozon making me feel this way.'His face started getting closer to mine."Shizuo..."His honey orbs shined with emotions I've never seen before,and his answer became clear to me."Get away from my Daddy!"I snapped out of my trance as Tatsuomi came out from behind me,trying to push Shizu-chan away from me. I sighed and gave Shizu-chan an apologetic look.
"Who's this?"He asked,looking down at him.
"Let him go!Let him go!Let him GO!"
I laughed nervously."This,is Tatsu-kun...I'm okay Tatsu. You can stop hitting Shizu-chan."He looked up at me,sniffling. I felt my eyes darken and looked at the brute with a serious look."Shizuo put me down."
"Ah,right."He let me go and I knelled down,taking Tatsuomi in my arms."Shh,its okay Tatsu. See I'm okay."I said pulling him back so he could see me to prove my point. He nodded and hugged me tighter,digging his face back into my neck."Wow,never thought you had a soft side Flea."My eyes widened.'Shit. I forgot he was here. Ugh,now this kid is changing me. Great whats next,me prancing around Ikebukuro hugging random people?'I shivered in disgust at the thought .'No. I'd rather let hell freeze over before I'd ever do that!'I stood up and turned towards Shizu-chan. For the first time since I could remember I was at loss for words."So~,I never got that answer Shizu-chan~."He blushed.'Heh,never knew the protozon got embarrassed.'
"Well,I thought about what you said."I nodded,signaling him to continue."And I have a few questions of my own."He looked me directly in the eyes,a determined look on his face."And I expect answers."I smirked,feeling a bit like my old self."Alright,ask away then."I shrugged."I have nothing to hide."He nodded and opened his mouth to say something when my ringtone cut him off. He frowned and I shrugged,grabbing my phone and flipping it open.
"Hello?"
"IZAYA WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING FIGHTING WITH SHIZUO WHEN YOU HAVE YURUMATE-KUN WITH YOU!"
I pulled the phone away from ear,wincing at the volume Shinra was using."We're not fighting Shinra,we're actually talking."
"Yeah,well Celty's on her way to pick him up just in case."
"Yeah I was about to call you to ask that of you. You know your a great uncle Shinra."
"You really think so?"
"Yup. Just don't teach him about experimentation or make him cut people open and we'll be fine. Got that?"
"Ahahaha,of course Izaya. I would never think of it!"He kept chuckling nervously and I smiled at the fear that I gave him.'Good he still fears me.'I heard a bike's motor and cleared my throat to get Shinra to stop blabbering nonsense."Celty's here."
"Alright,I'll call you or text you when they get here alright."
I nodded,"Sounds good."I hung up without another word and walked calmly out of the ally to go get Celty.
[Where's Tatsu-kun?]
"He's in the ally with Shizu-chan."
[YOU LEFT HIM ALONE WITH SHIZUO?]
My eyes widened as the realization hit me."Damn it!"We ran back to the ally and the scene I saw stopped me dead in my tracks. Shizu-chan was playing with Tatsu,throwing him up in the air which sent Tatsu into fits of laughter. I felt happiness fill my heart at the sight and couldn't help the small smile that spreaded on my features.
[Well this was the last thing I expected to see.]
I wiped the smile off my face and put my mask on,just nodding in agreement. It was a few minutes before he realized we were back and placed Tatsu down on the floor."Daddy!Daddy!"Tatsu called,running to me."Did you see how high I went?"I laughed and ruffled his hair."I sure did. Hey Tatsu,I have some adult things that I have to attend to,so your going to have to go with Celty alright?"He frowned."Is it that bad?"I nod."I don't know where the conversation might go. Where ever it does go I don't want you to see a very bad side of me,alright?"He smiled up at me."I'll never think differently about you. Your my Daddy and I love you."
I wrapped him in hug and whispered,"You only think that because you don't know."I pulled back and smiled,"Now go with Celty Tatsu,I'll pick you up when I'm done alright."
"Promise?"
I held out my pinky and he took it."Cross my heart hope to die and if I lie you can stab a needle in my eye."He giggled."Alright Daddy. You know I'll do it too."I smirked and kissed him on the forehead."I know."I stood up as he ran around me to Celty.
[Don't worry Izaya I won't let anything happen to him.]
I nod."I have faith in you. Just know that if something does happen to him I won't give you a light punishment."I narrowed my eyes at her.
[Right. Well,I have to go back to Shinra...Good luck with Shizuo :)]
I looked up at the women with wide eyes."How'd..."
[Woman's intuition. Try your best Izaya.]
I nodded and she took her leave."Bye Shizuo!Bye daddy!"
"Bye Tatsu."I waved to him as he left and when he turned the corner,looked back at the brute.
"Like I was saying,I want answers."
I stuffed my hands in my pocket and leaned back against the wall behind me."I need questions in order for me to give you answers Shizu-chan."
He glared at me but asked,"Why wait so long?"
"Confessing your love to someone who hates you isn't the easiest thing you know."
"Alright,then when did you start liking me?"
"High school,the first day I met you in fact."
"Since..high school..."
I nodded."You look surprised Shizu-chan."I smirked.
"Well,of course I'm surprised you've been lying to me this whole time!"
"And how have I been lying?"I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We've been fighting all this time Flea,you acted like you've wanted to kill me many times and it was pretty convincing if you ask me."
"Tell me Shizu-chan,if you were in my predicament would you not do the same?"
"Well...I guess I would. But that doesn't change the fact that you didn't tell me sooner,why let a battle be fought that doesn't need to be fought."
I felt my eyes widen and I smirked,"Wow Shizu-chan I didn't know you had some smarts."I saw a vein pop on his forehead and sighed,closing my eyes.'Well I guess that ruined it. What's done is done,no use on trying to attempt at something that was never meant to be.'Suddenly I felt something slam by my head and quickly opened my eyes to see Shizu-chan in front of me.
"Don't try pushing me away now Flea,you started this now you have to deal with the consequences of your actions."And before I could come back with a retort he placed his lips on mine,successfully shutting me up.'Alright this is NOT going how I expected. Stay calm,don't let this get to you...Damn it I can't think straight...Fuck it!'I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer,lavishing in the fact that I was experiencing something that I've wanted to since I could remember. Soon air became something we both needed and we broke away gasping for air."Stop running from me Flea,"he placed his forehead on mine,"you don't have to run from me anymore."
"Who said I was running away protozon?"I asked smirking. He smirked back."Which reminds me,I have one more question." I raised an eyebrow.'What more information does he need?' "How did you meet that kid and why do you have him?"I smirked,"First that's two questions."He frowned."Second,I met him on my way back to Shinjuku on the sub train. The reason I have him is because in the short time we've known each other he's grown attached to me...and I'm sorta attached myself."I muttered the last part,but at the proximity we were I was more then sure the brute heard me."That still doesn't answer my question."I sighed."He was being abused Shizuo,I'm not going to leave a kid in a home like that...not when that's gunna make him turn into a monster."I looked down at the ground,memories flooding my head.'I don't want him to end up a twisted person like me. If I have to change so he can be happy and become something he wants to be,then so be it.'
I felt a finger gently slide under my chin and lift it up."Why do I have the feeling that your relating to this kid."I smirked."You've got good instincts,like your part animal."He rolled his eyes but the meaning behind my words seemed to hit him."So you can relate to him."
"You can say that."I said shrugging.
"Did you tell anyone?"
"Yeah...Shinra,he was my doctor after all but he was the closet thing I had to a friend..."
"So that's why you were paranoid when someone bumped into you."
"Or when someone tried grabbing me,yes that would be the reason."
"Why didn't you do anything about it?"
"I did something about when I was in middle school,but he ended up coming back. He beat me worse then he did before so I never told anybody again. Whats was the use,he was just going to come back. Besides I'd rather deal with it then let him lay a hand on my mother or sisters."
"Why not try to defend yourself?"
"Are you kidding me?And run where?"I shook my head."Besides my mother and sisters would receive the bad end of it."
"What about now?"
"I got my sisters their own apartment. I tried to do the same for my mom,but she insisted that she stayed with him."I shook my head at remembering our argument about it."He tried beating my mom while I went to visit her two months ago,"I felt my face darken at the memory."And I enjoyed putting him in his place. He hasn't laid a hand on her since."
"Did you land him in the hospital?"
I smirked."In a full body cast. He's still recovering from the last I heard."Shizu-chan wrapped me in an unexpected hug and I just stood there wide-eyed."Now I can see why you turned out the way you did...I'm so sorry that you had to go through that Flea. No one deserves a childhood like that,not even you."
"I'm not going to cry Shizu-chan,I've learned not to show emotions anymore."He held me tighter,bringing me closer to him and laying his cheek on my head."You don't have to be strong anymore Izaya,I'm here for you now."It was as if those words were a trigger and I felt the rush of memories I've kept locked away for so long come back,and with it the emotions. I cried into his chest,letting out what I had been holding in too long out."Shh,that's right. Let it all out,I've got you."He stroked my hair gently and I kept crying. I cried for what seemed like hours and eventually feel asleep from it.
