So this is going to be the flashback still… I need to build up and establish bonds, right? Remember… lemon reccomendations. I won't do it unless I get enough votes. So post it in the review or PM me. Either way. But it's hard to type as fast as people read! I'll try to be fast!

Later that week…

"Look at her!" One man exclaimed, pointing at Kizuki.

"Isn't she the Witch of Ikebukuro?" Another man yelled.

"I hear she's with the Dollars…" The first man whispered, a thin line of blood dripping out of his nose.

"Man, they have all the hot babes on their side." The second man said, disappointed.

"Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking…?" The first man asked.

"I have a bad feeling about this, Renji." The second man replied.

"Relax, Akamichi, I got this covered. We'll kidnap her and….. heh…" Renji said, his blood coming visible again. Akamichi shook his head but he reluctantly followed Kizuki down the the alleyway she was sent to investigate. Renji didn't think this through! Akamichi thought. But it was too hard and too late to stop him.

"Seriously, Izaya. There's nothing in this alleyway but a bunch of bloodstains." Kizuki spoke over the phone. A giant frown formed on her face as she listened to his reply. "Fine, fine. I'll sit here and wait. Yeah. Talk to you later." She finished, turning the phone off.

"Stop right there, miss. I'm afraid you're going to find yourself kidnapped." Renji stated, pulling a pocket knife out of his jacket and pointing it at her.

"Hmm…?" She said, looking up at them with a half-hearted expression. "What? I couldn't hear you. I'm a tad deaf in my left ear."

"Kizuki Aihara, prepare to find yourself the Mistress of the Yellow Scarves!" Renji yelled. Kizuki just looked at them like they were crazy homeless people rambling in another language.

"The Yellow Scarves? Are you guys idiots or something?" She demanded, crossing her arms. "You guys aren't my type, anyway." She teased. Renji looked at her with increasing rage.

"Yo, how dare you mock us! We are the Yellow Scarves! You will pay, Witch!" Renji yelled, taking a step foreward. Kizuki had a look of worry shoot up her face when she realized she was cornered ina dark alleyway. She was claustrophobic and afraid of the dark. Whenever he took a step forewards, she stepped back. It went like that until whe was against the wall.

"Our leader is gonna be so proud of us, bringing in a girl to play around with." Renji said, running his hand around her face, causing her to tremble. Then familiar footsteps were heard right next to them, as a man with glasses and a bartender costume stopped right by the alleyway to fix his ciggarette. No one realized he was there, and he didn't know they were there either.

"We're going to do some baaaaaad things to you, lady." Renji said, his face too close to hers for her to tolerate. It was there that Shizuo heard the voices and turned.

"Huh…?" He mumbled, shooting glare at the man who was invading Kizuki's space bubble. Everyone turned their heads to see who it was. Shizuo looked Renji right in the eyes with a death glare.

"I-It's Shizuo Heiwajima! RUN FOR IT!" Renji shouted. Him and Akamichi desperately looked around for somewhere to go.

"Shizu-chan!" Kizuki shouted in relief. Shizuo dropped his cigarrette on the ground and stomped on it, and then he continued glaring at the gangsters.

"What do you fleas think you're doing to her?" He yelled, clearly in no mood to be reckoned with. Kizuki beamed in his direction, pressed up against the wall, while her predators looked for somewhere to escape. It was too late. Shizuo had already grabbed one of the men and punched them so hard they wen't flying out of their clothes. Then he grabbed a stop sign and sent the other one flying with it.

"Damn jerks… what the hell…" He mumbled, walking over to Kizuki. "You alright, Kizuki-chan?"

"Hai, hai. I'm good. Thank you for saving me, Shizuo!" She said with a smile. Shizuo nodded and lit his cigarrette.

"If those jerks ever pick on you again, you tell me, alright? You can't just walk around being rape-bait for the rest of your life. You have magic. Put it to good use." He scolded. Kizuki sighed and nodded.

"Yeah, I know. They just caught me off guard. I'm sure if you didn't come around I would have given them a flaming wedgie at some point." She replied. "But still….. thank you. I'll always appreciate your kindness." She said. Shizuo blushed slighty but turned his head to hide it.

"Don't go getting all gushy on me, now…. All I did was beat up a few punks." He scolded, putting his hands in his pockets. "I just lost control again…. You shouldn't be thanking me…" He added, causing Kizuki to scowl at him but then give him a warm and sympathetic look.

"I know exactly how you feel… always feeling like you went to far. Like your some kind of alien. But I managed to get over that, because I found a purpose for my life." She said, still looking sympathetic. But then she looked him in the eyes with a sly look. "You should join me, y'know. We'd be a great team." She offered. Shizuo looked at her for a minute.

"A team for what?" He asked. She smirked.

"A team of using our gifts to help people. Stop crime. Like you just did, Shizu-chan." She replied.

"Don't call me that." He scolded.

"Sorry. Instinct. It actually kind of fits you!" She replied with a giggle. He shook his head. Using my powers for good…. He thought.

"Shizu-chan…. I didn't know you were that kind of person." A familiar voice teased from the edge of the alleyway. They both turned to see Izaya standing there with his hands in his pockets and the smirk of a troll plastered on his face. Just then, Shizuo realized the kind of position he was in. Kizuki was against the wall, and he was in front of her. It made the situation look way different then it actually was. He scowled at Izaya and hid the blush that came across his face for a split second.

"Don't get your panties in a twist, Izaya-kun… it's not what it looks like!" Kizuki responded with a big smile. Izaya just smirked to himself like the cat that got the cream. Shizuo, on the other hand, did not appreciate the situation he had been put in. Izaya was probably enjoying every minute of his embarrassment.

"Iiiiii-zaaaaaaaaa-yaaaaaaaa…." He started, looking like he was going to take out his organs and skip rope with them. He went to take a step foreward but Kizuki grabbed his hand, causing him to look at her with a surprised face. She shook her head softly.

"Don't. It's not worth it." She replied. Izaya's smirk evaporated and he felt a strange feeling. A feeling most would describe as 'jealousy'.

"Come on, Kizuki-chan. We have work to do…" Izaya scolded. Kizuki smiled and kissed Shizuo on the cheek.

"Gotta go." She said. "Oh, and concider my offer…" She added. Before Shizuo could even react she turned her form into a black cat and pranced over to Izaya, jumping on top of his shoulder as he turned to walk away. The Kizuki kitty's bright blue eyes flickered back at Shizuo's as if to say "See you around."

"….the hell…." Shizuo grumbled. He wasn't sure exactly what had happened. He had been kissed. But the question was, did he enjoy it? Was there a slight chance that maybe Shizuo Hewajima had a soft spot for a certain witch? He couldn't be sure, himself. But now, the gears of the Game of Life have started turning in a rather interesting direction…

Alright, so that was like, chapter three and stuff… I really like Shizuo and I really like Izaya. I figured Shizuo needs atleast one person to love him for who he is, and since Celty obiously ends up with Shinra (rage rage) I decided tha he should get the love he deserves. 3

Until Next Time!
