Tale of Shizaya: Chapter 3
XX
"Why hello there, Black Biker. Lovely day it is, isn't it?"
Orihara saw Celty from a distance and decided to chat with her. "You haven't seen Shizu-chan around, have you?" Celty shook her helmeted head.
"But since you are friends with him, there is no guarantee that you would tell me anyway, isn't that right?" Celty said nothing. She was standing next to her bike, but now she was getting on it, hoping to leave quickly before Shizuo actually did get there. She was planning to meet up with Shizuo, despite Kishitani's warnings, and talk about his mood. She was concerned for him, since this mood seemed to be getting worse and worse by the year. She wasn't sure as to what she could actually do, it's not like she knew too much about humans and their emotions, but seeing how Shizuo was abnormal, like her, she thought that maybe she had some chance in helping him.
"I-za-ya-kun." Celty looked behind her and saw Heiwajima Shizuo, in his usual bartender's outfit, walking up towards her and Izaya. Izaya's face was a blend between a smile and a grimace. Shizuo seemed to be only focused on Izaya; his hands were in the pockets of his butler uniform, he still wore his dark glasses, his hair a messy blond, and a cigarette was clenched between his teeth.
"Ah! Shizu-chan! I've been looking all over-"
"What are you doing back in Ikebukuro?"
"I just said-"
"I told you to stay away from here."
"Yes, but-"
"But I'm glad you came."
"Really? Aww, you missed me."
"No. You being here gives me a chance to finally KILL YOU!" Shizuo picked up a newspaper box and hurled it at Izaya, who smoothly dodged it. Celty knew she had to leave the area now, or there was no telling what would happen to her. She started up her bike and was about to zoom off until a light pole slammed into her side and flung her into the air. When gravity began to bring her down, she fell into Shizuo's arms. His eyes were still dead focused onto Izaya, so much so, that he just tossed Celty aside as if she were a sack of potatoes. Shizuo began to look for another weapon as Izaya began to speak.
"Ah, Shizu-chan. Always so eager to see me dead." He flicked out his knife and as he spoke, he tossed the object back and forth between his hands.
"I would love to oblige you," Izaya continued. "But I'm having too much fun with this life." Shizuo ripped a newspaper box from the ground and threw it at Izaya, just barely missing Celty who was in the process of standing up. Again, Izaya easily dodged the flying object.
"And to see you so aggravated at just the sight of me makes me…all tingly." Izaya then quickly swung his knife back and forth, trying his best to land a hit on the quick moving Shizuo. He went for a lunge, and Shizuo parried it by bending a street sign towards the knife. Izaya took a quick step back and then landed a forceful kick to Shizuo's side, causing him to be flung against a shop window and breaking it.
"I make you suffer, don't I?" said Izaya. "You know that you will never be able to defeat me. Why? Because you can't forget those precious memories of us." Shizuo groaned as he picked himself from the ground. He touched his forehead and noticed that it was bleeding.
"You know that even if you were able to incapacitate me, you couldn't kill me. Those memories would get in the way."
"I will kill you, Izaya. I forgot them, long ago."
"No. We both will never forget that time!" Izaya went for a right hook and got Shizuo in the face. Shizuo staggered to his side, then got down and rolled towards Celty who was standing near her bike while anxiously watching the fight.
"The difference between you and I Shizuo, is that despite all those memories, I know I would have no problem watching you die by my hand." Shizuo quickly picked up the bike and turned around just in time to defend himself from Izaya's aerial knife plunge. Izaya bounced off the bike, and as soon as he landed, Celty swooped in and sliced through him with her scythe, making him immediately go limp and fall to the ground. As Shizuo was preparing to slam the bike into Izaya, she used her dark powers to remove the bike from his hands. She then wrapped up Shizuo in dark matter and had him placed onto the bike. With the eerie neighing from her motorcycle, and Shizuo's voice yelling, "Stop! I have to kill him! Stop!" Celty rode off from the scene.
