Alternating Pov. '...' is Celty's text.
Izaya had stopped paying attention to Erika's rambling. She talked about some sort of collaboration with the headless rider to help them get together ...or something along those lines.
He really couldn't concentrate on what Erika was saying since he felt some sort of sharp pain coursing through his body and it was becoming more and more intense as she kept talking. The pain was so intense he felt like almost crying, especially since his left arm felt as if it was on fire.
Looking at his left hand, his eye automatically went to his wrist where the once black substance had been flowing.
He almost gasped as he noticed that the black substance had changed from a black smokey string to a blood-red solid string. The next thing he noticed was that the string was pulsing rapidly and he was sure that whatever was pulsing through the string was the reason for the intense pain.
Izaya eyes traveled from his wrist to Shizuo's wrist, all the way up to the beasts face, which showed no trace of pain. If anything Shizuo's face looked pensive.
Before he could wonder what the idiot was thinking of, he let out a hiss as another wave of excruciating pain passed through his wrist and moved all over his body.
"Neh are you okay Izaya?" Erika asked after she heard his hiss of pain.
"Just peachy~" he managed to say after the pain slowly left.
"What the fuck was that!" Shizuo said.
Izaya turned to look at Shizuo once again and tried to find any trace of pain in his expression, but the blond looked more confused than in pain.
"What was what?" Erika spoke as she stared at them with an intense expression.
Both ignored her as they looked at the string that wasn't pulsing as erratically as before, but still pulsing, only more evenly. It still retained a reddish color, but not as intense as it was a few moments ago.
"um what are you two staring at?" Erika asked with her head cocked to the side.
Izaya turned his attention back to the girl slightly confused.
What did she mean What are we staring at? Could it be that me and the brute are the only ones able to see the string?
"Erika what exactly did you and Celty do to us?" Izaya asked.
Erika sighed and pouted at the question. "I just explained that! Where you guys not paying attention?"
"Ah I apologize it's just a little surprising to wake up next to Shizu-chan and with no recollection of how this happened." Izaya said as charmingly as he could, even though he felt annoyed with the girl.
"Well I guess I'll start from the beginning again." She clapped happily.
Both Izaya and Shizuo weren't sure what was happening, but they did know they weren't gonna like it.
Shizuo wanted to strangle Erika after she told them the plan.
Most of the crap that came out of her mouth made him want to either strangle her or throw the nearest (heavy) object he could find at her.
It just didn't make sense.
Erika wasn't exactly specific about the so-called plan.
In fact she only told them the plan, supposedly, was to get them into the same bed and that Celty had injected them with some sort of "love potion".
Of course it didn't take a genius to know that Erika didn't know everything about the plan.
The flea had already tried to ask her about the string that was between them and she only stared blankly at him. After that she murmured something about how maybe the potion was making them delusional, which only increased his anger with her.
Sadly, before he could even lay a finger on her Celty had entered.
He felt absolutely betrayed by her.
Of all his few friend, she was the one person he could trust with anything, but now he felt like an idiot for even thinking she cared for him.
"Celty! What the hell is going on!?" he said angrily.
He could tell by her body language that she was being cautious with what she was going to tell him, especially since she kept typing and then erasing what she was typing. Finally she settled on typing something, but instead of showing them the text, she went to where Erika was sitting and showed her the text. After that Erika nodded and left the room.
He had to admit he was at least grateful for that, he never really hated the weird girl or even found her as a threat, but now he wasn't really sure how he felt.
'Ok I know you guys have a lot of questions and don't worry I will explain everything, but first I need to know how you guys are feeling.'
"How we feel? Could you be a little more specific about how we should feel?" Izaya calmly answered, though Shizuo swore he could hear an edge of irritation in his voice.
Still, other than the slight irritation, Shizuo didn't know how Izaya could be so calm.
Ever since Celty entered the room, an irritating buzzing sensation was coursing through his body and he was pretty sure that the reason for the feeling had something to do with the string.
'More specifically, is there any irritation or pain anywhere in your body?'
"Yes, a freaking irritating buzzing." Shizuo answered, getting more and more annoyed with Celty.
He just wanted answers and a solution for whatever they did.
"Just stop asking dumb questions and tell us what the fuck this is." he added, pointing at the string in between him and Izaya.
'Ok. Please calm down Shizuo.'
'First I want to apologize for doing this with out your permission, but not for actually going through with it.'
'You guys need to stop fighting and I'm sure this is going to help you two get along with each other.'
Shizuo was about to interrupt her and tell her to just answer, but she had predicted his demand and quickly lifted her hand as signal to let her finish.
'The string you guys can see is a soul connector.'
'The connector is only visible to the ones connected and as well as the one who connected you both together. Meaning, I'm the only one able to see your connection since I was the one who did the transaction.'
'As a dullahan a transaction is quite simple, but since this was my first time doing one, I took my time. In a transaction, those who souls are bonding, can only bond if they are right next to each other'
'Since I needed both of you in the same room while I started the transaction, I asked Erika to help me since she was the only one that would be willing.'
'After we drugged you both we took you to my place and Shinra checked if your blood type was the same. Those with the same blood are able to connect without much problems unlike those who don't. So since both of you are blood type O, we quickly started the transaction in this room.'
'All I did was take some blood from both of you and mixed it with my own "blood" and then injected the blood once more into each of your wrists. Depending on those connected the process on bonding souls is quite painful, but rarely deadly, which is why I asked how you felt.'
Both Izaya and Shizuo were speechless.
What exactly were they suppose to say, they were still doubtful even though the evidence was right there in between the both of them.
All Shizuo knew was that there better be a way to separate their souls because if there wasn't, he was gonna to go berserk.
I thought I had more chapters done for this story, apparently I have one more that's done. Anyway, thanks to those who read my stories :).
