Weak
Izaya
One month. Shizu-chan, hadn't chased him in a month. No one had seen him. Shinra and Celty were keeping him out of what was happening. He hated it, he hated not knowing what was going on. Izaya knew where Shingen lived, after all he was the one who had given Mikado-kun. No Shizu-chan the information. "You're going to wear a hole in the carpet." Izaya glared at her, stopping his pacing to look out of the window.
He picked his phone up and dialed Shinra's number. There was a cold silence on the other end, which he knew was Celty. "Can you get Shinra?" He listened as the phone was brought closer to the voices. I'm busy Celty, Who is it? There was a pause and then he heard Shinra sigh. I'll talk to him. Make sure Shizuo eats. Ah. So they had gotten Shizu-chan back. Izaya. What do you want? "That's not nice Shinra. Did you find Shizu-chan?" No, not yet. Celty is still trying to track my father down. Why did you want to help? "I'm being nice." Shinra laughed. You're never nice Izaya. There was a scream in the background. Damn it. Sorry Izaya, I have to go. Izaya was left staring at his phone. Was that Shizu-chan screaming?
-Kanra has entered the chat room-
Kanra:- Hello.
Tanaka Taro:- Hello Kanra.
It was just the two of them. Celty wouldn't be on, since she was probably taking care of Shizu-chan or trying to kill Shingen.
-Kanra has entered PM mode-
Kanra:- Tanaka Taro, you're so mean.
Tanaka Taro:- What do you mean Izaya-san?
Kanra:- You still owe me information.
Tanaka Taro:- I told you, Heiwajima-san asked me to get it.
Kanra:- True. But I wanted to know why Shingen was needed.
Tanaka Taro:- I can't help you. I don't know where Heiwajima-san is.
Tanaka Taro:- Sorry Izaya-san.
-Tanaka Taro has left the chat room-
Ah, Mikado-kun was no fun. Kida would have no reason, to visit. That left Izaya to do it by himself. It wasn't that dark. Izaya put his jacket on and left the apartment. He wanted to know if the monster was still alive. That was all.
Izaya made his way to his friend's apartment, sitting on the same stairs. He still had the device in his pocket. I'll kill him. Damn it, he's lucky Shizuo woke up. There was a soft pause. Celty was probably trying to calm him down. Yeah, I know. At least he's safe. But he doesn't have his strength anymore. Shizuo has lived using his strength. He has nothing to protect himself. Damn it. I told him it was a bad idea. Who gave him my father's number anyway? Izaya switched off the device, slipping it back into his pocket. He knew the gist of what had been done to Shizu-chan.
Shinra gaped at him, when he opened the door and quickly tried to mask it. "Izaya. What are you doing here?" Izaya bounced past him, taking his usual space on the sofa. "I can't visit a friend?" He watched Shinra curse, trying to keep his voice low. You don't want Shizu-chan to know I'm here. "It's late Izaya. Me and Celty were going to bed." Izaya leaned back on the sofa. "You don't want to disturb Shizu-chan?" The look of shock on Shinra's face gave everything away. "How did you know?" Izaya laughed quietly. "I'll talk to him, make sure Shizuo eats." Izaya recited word for word. "You heard that? Damn." Shinra made his was to the sofa.
Before he could open his mouth, Celty ran out of the room, shadows spilling from her neck and shoved her PDA in Shinra's face. Shinra stared at the screen and then stared some more. "Seriously?" The Dullahan nodded. "I should have seen this coming." Celty went back into the room, probably where Shizuo was. "Anything wrong?" Shinra rubbed a hand over his face. "Why are you interested in knowing how Shizuo is?" Shinra was watching him closely. "I'm curious. In case you hadn't noticed. He's the only monster who throws vending machines at me." Shinra sighed. "That's not going to happen anymore. Izaya, I need a favor."
"You're favors cause me trouble." Every favor he had done for his friend he regretted. Shinra called him a horrible person, but the doctor was a lot worse with his experiments. "Can Shizuo live with you for a while?" See. Why would he want Shizu-chan, anywhere near his apartment? "You realize we hate each other?" Shinra looked away. "Right now, Shizuo is a normal human, just slightly weaker. He can't protect himself." Izaya didn't believe it. Shizu-chan was a monster. "I don't believe you." Shinra sighed standing up. "I'll show you."
If Celty had her head, which she didn't because he had it. She would have been glaring at him. Her shadows were spiking from her neck as if she wanted to kill him. Sitting up, in the bed was Shizu-chan. He didn't look any different. Well one way to see. Izaya aimed one of his knives at Shizu-chan's head. He didn't block it or dodge it. Celty's shadow darted out at the last moment flinging the blade to the side. Izaya stared back at Shizu-chan. The blond sat there looking at him. Come on Shizu-chan. I just tried to kill you. Shouldn't you be screaming at me? The old you would have picked up the bed. Izaya didn't like this new Shizu-chan. "Shinra, you owe me." The doctor smiled. If only to get his Shizu-chan back. He was never giving Mikado information unless he knew exactly what is was for.
"No." Izaya turned to the figure in the bed. "Shizuo. This is for your own good." The blond tensed. "Shizuo relax, you still haven't healed." Too late, Izaya was shoved back by Celty's shadows, as Shinra reached for a needle. Shizuo's screaming pierced his ears. It wasn't a scream of rage like usual, this was one Izaya had never heard. Shizuo was screaming in pain. His face twisted as he fought against it. This wasn't his enemy. He almost couldn't believe it. Shizuo had made himself human.
Shinra sighed as the sedative silenced the screaming blond. "He doesn't want your help." Izaya smirked. "Well, if it pisses him off I'll do it." His friend sighed. "Why are you an asshole?" The informant grinned. "How many times have you asked me that question?" Izaya didn't wait for an answer. "He can stay with me, but I'm not guaranteeing his safety. He's still Shizu-chan. He might try and kill me in my sleep." Shinra rubbed a hand through his hair. "Celty! Don't kill him."
