Chapter 4-Memories

As I sat at home I began to have memories flood my mind. One that stuck out the most was the first time I ever met Izaya. What a day that was...

Flashback start

I walked out of the school building and pushed past people as I left the doors. I was in a hurry to meet up with Shizuo and Shinra after school. I pretty much had all my classes with them except my last ones. I looked around in the crowd of people leaving but couldn't find either one of them. Even when the crowd was so small I could name every person.

'Maybe they went out the back way',I thought as I walked down the steps and then ran around the building. The city was closer to the back of the school,but we always toke the front way to pass my house. Why change it today? High school just meant changes I guess. As I ran I began to hear shouts and loud crashing noises and figured I was right.

Sure enough when I reached the back there was Shizuo,surrounded by a bunch of past out looking guys. Didn't these idiots ever learn? I was really getting annoyed with all these gangs. They should know by now that no one would be able to actually cause harm to Shizuo. But did anyone ever listen to reason?

As I looked harder I saw that Shizuo was looking over at the back of the school and that he had a cut through his shirt and was...actually bleeding? Are you telling me he was actually hurt?

I followed his line of sight and saw that he was looking over at Shinra and some dude I didn't even know. He had black hair and wasn't in our uniform. So he didn't go to our school? Then why was he here. I gasped as I saw that he was holding a switch blade. Did he cut my best-friend?

"Shizuo! Shinra!",I yelled as I walked over to Shinra. I wanted to know who this guy was but I didn't want to be mean. So I smiled and acted happy. Everyone looked over at me and my eyes widened a little as I saw the new guys eyes. They were red and he had this smirk on his face that could have easily un-nerved some people.

"Who's your friend?",I asked Shinra as I approached them.

He smiled at me."This is Izaya Orihara. He went to our middle school",he said.

I nodded and looked the guy up and down. I knew that name. I just never knew what he looked like. I'll admit he was hot. I blushed at that thought. 'Perfect timing Aki',I scolded myself.

"Aki Moto",I said smiling at Izaya. He still had that smirk on his face as he looked me up and down causing my blush to heighten up a little.

"Oh,I know who you are",he said,"Pleasure to meet you in person". I hummed my answer and then looked over at Shizuo who was glaring,at Izaya I guessed.

"Shizuo,what happened?",I yelled over at him. I wanted to make sure that it was Izaya before I went and presumed anything. Even though the evidence was in front of my face.

Shizuo didn't say anything,he didn't even look at me. I toke that as my answer and looked back at Izaya who was looking back at Shizuo and then me.

"Are you and Shizu-chan together?",he asked almost smiling now. My eyes widened and I had to say that this was look was much better. But back to the question.

"No were not. More like an older brother,best-friend situation. And even if I was dating him,what would you care?",I asked before walking away to Shizuo."I'm goin now Shinra,I'll see you tomorrow". I could've cared less if he came or not. Izaya may of been hot but he was a nosy fucker.

"You hurt me Aki-chan! Every thing that involves you and Shizu-chan is my life!",Izaya yelled back at me in a mock happy tone. I rolled my eyes as I got to Shizuo who looked ready to beat the hell out of him. I grabbed his hand and pulled him,trying to get him away before anything else happened. It toke a minute of pulling before he went along with me.

As we walked along it was quiet besides the people around us. I didn't know what to say. All I had in my head was that damned jerks face.

"You think he's cute don't you?",Shizuo suddenly asked causing me to turn to him and glare. I ripped my hand from his and hit him in the arm.

"Shut up! How can you just say that?",I said.

"Your face is red",he said pointing at me. I hit his hand away with one hand and reached the other up to my cheek to feel a rush of heat there. Damn him..

"Whatever",I said before walking ahead of him. After a second I felt his presence beside me to look up and see he was smoking now.

"So you do like that flea",he stated. I kept silent for the next few minutes as we walked by shops and stores.

"He's cute".

End Flashback

Izaya's POV

I chuckled as I remembered that day. It was one of my favorite memories. I had followed them after Celty had dragged Shinra away. That was the first day I as Aki-chan calls it 'stalked' her home. She had made me so curious with her first impression. Even more so than Shizu-chan did. I couldn't help but have old memories flow in my head after our little 'date'.

I didn't know back then,or during our schooling,exactly I really felt towards my new she left us that is. I grew bored. even messing with Shizu-chan didn't entertain me as much. I had always thought there was something special about her. She left me shocked sometimes. Manly at her attitude to my actions.

She didn't react the same way as I had intended. She never cried,or got angry at me. She was always in a happy mood,even when aggravated. She let me use her at my free will. Let me tease her. Let me throw it in her face that I never loved her. Let me stalk her and a bunch of other things.

She toke everything with that smile on her face. It almost seemed to enlighten the room she was in. She was just so confident in her self. She would even admit that she loved me after I teased her. Something I always frowned at. Aki-chan was diffidently something special.

That's why I was so obsessed with her back then. I adored the red that painted her cheeks almost every time she was around me. How 'I love you' just rolled off her tongue.

I sighed as I gazed out my window into the city. Such a human world it was. I swept a hand through my hair and placed a hand on my hip. Everything I was holding dear to me was against me now. My own philosophy was turning upside down. The great Izaya Orihara was finally going to admit he had a weakness. I chuckled at that.

Why is it the human I fell in love with was going to cause me so much trouble?
