You may finally enjoy the chapter
It had been a couple days since I started taking care of my worst nightmare… Izaya. I seriously can't remember why I wanted to help him, back then. Now, my only motivation is the money. I seriously can't think of another reason for taking care of this jerk!
"Ne, Electra-chan~ I want coffee~" And here goes the second morning call after he's settled on his computer…'working' What kind of an idiot does he think I am? A person sitting in front of a computer screen, smirking and laughing every now and then is definitely NOT working.
I stood up, anyway, and went to make his coffee. None of this was my business and I'm so not going to make it. Still, what did he do to gain all of this? Why am I still here? All these thoughts are trying to make me get involved with him… and I really don't want to.
"Thanks Electra chan~" He said, with that stupid, fake, innocent smile of his. I really hate it when someone is trying to fool me like that and, as I said before, if it wasn't for my pay, I would have left like nothing had ever happened.
"So… what are you working on today?" I asked him, trying to satisfy both my curiosity and boredom.
He looked at me, as if he was pleased with my question, with a 'you finally asked' look.
"I'm gathering information for someone" He answered, looking at me with expectation, like a kid expecting their new toy.
"You really want me to ask more, don't you?" I asked and he pouted
"I'm the one reading you, not the other way around, Electra-chan"
"Your fault for letting your guard down" He seemed like he cursed at himself for something, but I'll never know… he returned to his smirk in an instant.
"Well, it's also your fault. I mean, of course I know everything about you, but still… all these days together, we never had a decent conversation and I need to know more"
"You're creepy. I will fry you again" I said, with a straightforward look.
"Geez, can't you relax a little? I'm an info broker, what do you expect? I always need to know everything" He said, letting a sigh out. How was I supposed to know what his job is? Well, I guess I can play this one for a while.
"I guess I'm a little bored" I said "So, what do you want to know?" I asked
He laid back to his chair, thinking "Hmmm I don't know…" He said, not deciding how to play his own game. Fine, I'll start.
"What kind of info are you looking into?" I asked and he seemed amused, since I made the first step
"As much as I would like to tell you, that's classified information" He smirked
"Ok" I said not caring much and he pouted. *Annoying little brat!* I thought "How about for whom is it?" I tried playing again.
His smirk seemed even wider than before "The yakuza are my best clients"
I didn't really like knowing that "I regret asking… Should have expected to hear more shady stuff from you… I mean, besides the looks, you just said you're an info broker… Yea, I shouldn't have asked…I guess I'm in trouble, huh?"
His expressions were constantly changing with every word that came out of my mouth. It's like, he can't decide what he feels or if he likes what he's hearing.
"Heh… You mean that I look like a bad guy? Electra-chan, you wound me!" He mocked being hurt "But still, even if you give up on taking care of me, I wouldn't let them touch you, idiot" He whispered and I almost did not hear it… but I did
"What did you say?" I asked surprised
"Did I say something?" He asked innocently.
*Heh… acting like you never said that out loud… Guess he's more of a kid than I thought… Stupid bug… making me interested* Thinking back to it, Izaya has shown a lot of faces up to now. He's changing masks according to the occasion. He was being a tease to Shinra-san. He'd have a really annoying smirk when scheming for that monster of Ikebukuro... He'd change between smirks and professionalism when speaking with a client. But when he was talking to me, it was like he had a hard time keeping them up. He'd drop his guard, he'd laugh, he'd play and sometimes… ONLY sometimes, he'd get serious, if needed
"What's with the smile?" He asked and I realized, that I really was smiling. I shrugged my shoulders and turned my back to him
"I guess I got lost in thought" I replied, walking to the couch
"What were you thinking?" He asked as I sat down
"Nothing special"
"You were smiling over 'nothing special'" He said with his (I'm 100% sure) famous smirk.
"Sure, why not?" I said, chuckling at my own answer. This was stupid. I couldn't evade him and I knew it.
"Heh… Our first conversation in forever and you're already avoiding it" He tried again to take the little piece of info from my head.
"Then change the subject" I said, turning to look at him, smirking myself. This is a gamble. If I win, I keep my thoughts to myself. If he wins, I'll have to make some pretty good story in milliseconds.
"Ok… When was your first love?" He asked, as if he already knew my answer… It was a bit shocking, but I was still glad that the subject had changed.
But, as I was thinking *Victory*, I also saw his face when I answered.
"I've never been in love with anyone" I said "Everyone is calling me a monster, remember? Nobody even tried to get close to me and I did the same" I said honestly
He seemed taken aback by this. As if he had two theories in his mind and I verified the one he didn't want to be true. He got lost in thought.
"Is that so…" He paused for a while "Say, did you ever hit your head or something?" He asked again, getting serious all of a sudden.
"No… At least I don't remember anything like that, why?" I asked, curious
"Nothing, just making conversation… Why don't you ask any questions?" He changed the subject.
"Will I get any answers?" I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. *He knows something about me that I don't… but he's missing an important piece of information. Maybe if I ask him the same question or just play along with this game… Maybe I can get him to reveal something, anything*
"Depends on the question… I don't give classified info" Fair enough. I'm not planning to ask about other clients, anyway.
"Ok… then, since you asked, it's only fair I can ask the same thing… Did you ever fall in love?" I said, not really caring about his private life, but still, I had to be patient.
"Hmm… I guess I did, when I was 7, with a girl two years younger than me" He answered with a smirk
*Two years younger... Back when he was 7… I was 5! Ahh… I remember that one day I woke up and I felt like I was forgetting a lot of things... When was that… at the end of the winter break?*
"But now I love all humans equally and I can't pick one over the rest" He kept saying, breaking me out of my line of thinking
*So, she was a human, after all… Heh… of course it's not me, what was I thinking?! He hates monsters like me and, even if he didn't, I wouldn't want someone like him to have feelings for me*
"I guess… Something must have happened when I was little…" I said staring into space, having forgotten all about our conversation game.
"Did you remember something?!" He asked, banging his desk and getting up, but then falling back down, since his leg hadn't healed yet. I went to help his sorry ass back. What's he getting so excited about anyway? It's not like this has anything to do with him.
"Not really. I just remember that I felt like I was forgetting something, sometime when I was 5… like, a long period of time… but I thought it was natural for people not to remember that back to their childhood" I explained
"It is, after some years, but not suddenly, like it happened to you" He answered. After I placed him on his chair, I left the room without a word and called my father.
"So, she doesn't remember" Izaya said, with a serious look on his face, after Electra left the room and started searching something at his computer "It's definitely the work of that damned monster… I guess I'll be paying Shizu-chan a visit, soon"
When I re-entered the room, Izaya seemed to have been really concentrated on his research *Wow… I take back everything… He takes his job seriously, after all*
"What are you staring at?" He asked, not taking his eyes off of his computer
"Nothing really… I was just admiring your concentration for your work"
"Well, this is not enough anymore… I'm going to need your help" He said and looked at me after taking some notes on paper
"My help? How can I help finding info?" I asked confused
"No, no, you don't need to find info. I just need you to take me to Ikebukuro" He said with an oddly serious look. No, it was scary. His vibe was seriously getting to me.
"What if the monster of Ikebukuro finds you?" I asked
"That's quite all right. I want him to find us" He answered, still with a serious look. I didn't like the sound of this
"He's dangerous… I'm no match for him. The fact that we got off last time, was because he didn't know I was there" I said, terrified of the risk Izaya was taking.
"Well, if he loses his temper, it will be a problem… But, I need to discuss something serious with him"
"Will he even listen to you?"
"Chances are, that he won't… But it's a serious matter… to me at least… I need to try and get some info out of him"
"What if things take a bad turn?"
"Then you run… I'll still take it out of him…" I was taken aback… What could be so important, to risk his life for?
After a long argument, I couldn't make him stay away from Ikebukuro. And now, here we are… waiting at the park, for that guy to sniff us out or something…
"What makes you think he'll just appear before us?" I asked
"I told you, he's a monster… His senses are 100% inhuman"
And with that said, he DID magically appear in front of us, holding a sign post. *Oh dear God…*
"Izaya… You came here to die?" He asked, already pissed off
"Now, now, Shizu-chan, can't you give me a more human-like welcome for once? I know that she isn't human, but I am" I felt like smacking his head
"Hey!" I shouted, pissed off as well, as I did just that.
"Hm? Who are you?" Asked the other monster… ahh what was his name again?
"I'm Electra. Sorry for hitting you the other day… I totally understand why you want to kill him now" I answered
"You smell like a flea, I'm not buying that. I'm Shizuo"
*He gave his name anyway* "Pft… I guess I'm getting your germs from staying over at your house, bug" I said to Izaya
"You monsters are getting along from the moment you meet each other, even if you're not on the same side, huh?" He asked with a wicked smile
"Who's on your side? I'm just getting a good pay… but my inner peace is more important, so if he kills you, I'll be saved" I talked back
"Get the fuck out of Ikebukuro and fight there if you want!" Shizuo said and was about to throw that sign at us
"Wait, wait, Shizu-chan! I'm here for an important reason today" Izaya finally got serious again
"Why should I fucking care about what reason you're here for? Get out of my turf you louse!"
"Even if I came here to give you something? I've been researching something today… something very serious and we need to talk… I need you to cooperate Shizu-chan"
"Why the hell should I help you flea?"
"Because you're a big part of it" Izaya said with a smirk
"Stop messing with my life damn it!" He said throwing the street sign directly at us. I didn't have enough time to get out of the way, so I kicked it to change its course. It worked, but I couldn't move my leg for a while. That man sure is not to mess with. I glared at Izaya
"I told you that I'm no much for him! If he loses his temper, we're both dead!"
"I told you to run if that happens, not dodge! Can you even walk now?!"
"For your information, I didn't have the time to run, plus… stop messing around and get to work instead!" I shouted. He looked at Shizuo and kept talking, like before
"Here's the info I have… I need you to help me complete this puzzle, Shizu-chan… It's really important… and I'm sure it's the same to you, except if you have forgotten" He said holding out a folded paper for Shizuo to take.
"What the hell do you want?" He asked
"JUST READ IT AND THEN REFUSE IT! I'M NOT HERE TO PLAY GAMES TONIGHT!" Izaya shouted… I never heard him lose his cool and it seemed that Shizuo was the same. We looked at each other dumfounded. Then he walked over at Izaya and took the paper reading it.
"Huh? That's-"
"I know, Shizu-chan, I wrote it myself" It seems that, whatever was written down that little piece of paper, Izaya didn't want me to know.
"Before you leave, Shizu-chan… Take a look at Electra-chan… Does she remind you of anything?" He asked. Shizuo looked at me and I took a couple steps back.
*Why is he mentioning me?* I started panicking
"She does look familiar, but I don't remember meeting her" Shizuo answered
"That's all I needed to know… We'll talk later" Izaya said and turned to look at me "We're leaving"
Dun dun DUUUUUN! What's written in the small paper Izaya gave Shizuo? Has Electra-chan forgotten just because she grew up? Or is there more to it? Is Shizuo going to help Izaya? Find out in…
Well it's not going to be the next chapter, so I'm not promising xD Hope you had fun in this chapter, there's a reason they're a bit small, because I want them to end at a very specific point each time…
Ah! But I'm going to promise 2 things
Next chapter is going to be a little fluffy *wink wink*
I'm going to update AT LEAST one more chapter these days because a) I didn't upload fast enough and b) Idk when my next update will be because I'm going to move houses and that's going to take a lot of time…
That is all… If you like my story so far FAV and leave a REVIEW. You may even tell me what to correct in my writing or if you have any thoughts for the future of this fic…
Till next chap! ^_^
