Izaya was more than excited for tonight. He and the bodyguard had been together for nearly 8 months, tonight marking month 8, and their anniversary. He giggled with glee as he hurried through the piling snow to his apartment, where the blonde was most likely awaiting him with a candle light dinner and silk covered bed.

The thought made his smile brighten even more. "Tonight is going to be wonderful~!" He exclaimed happily, not noticing nor caring of the odd looks he was given.

He was only halfway there when someone had grabbed him from behind and pulled him into the alleyway. He struggled against his captor's grip, kicking back at his legs to get him to drop him. No success.

His assailant was a good foot and a half taller than him, and much stronger. The attacker held the informant with one arm while he reached into his pocket and removed a rag soaked in chlorophorm and slipped it over Izaya's mouth and nose.

He held his breath, not allowing himself to breathe in the horrid substance. He continued to struggle against the other's hold, slowly giving in as his lungs began to burn from lack of oxygen. He finally gave up and breathed in the terrible substance, feeling his body slacken as the chlorophorm began to take effect immidiately.

His legs buckled under him and he dropped to the ground, his assailant letting go of his hold as Izaya fell limp into the snow. A low chuckled emmitted from his throat as he grabbed the informant up by his neck and flung him over his shoulder, careful not to break his neck in the process.

Shizuo waited quietly at home, a quiet candle lit buffet laid out on the table. He sighed sorrowfully when he noticed the time.

8:16 p.m.

He blew out the candles and headed up to the bedroom, stripping himself of his suide suit into his boxers and climbed into bed, drifting off to sleep.

"He'll be here in the morning…he just had a lot of work to do…"

He was awoken early by a frantic neko. "Shizu-nii! Shizu-nii, wake up! Izaya is missinging!" Shizuo sat up quickly, knocking the neko off the side of the bed to the floor.

"What do you mean he's missinging?!" Izanyan was nearly in tears.

"I waited up…for him last…n-night and…he didn't come h-home…and someone…slipped this note u-under the door…saying that he'd been kidnapped…and…and…" He hugged the blonde, sobbing into his chest at the thought of the informant being injured or even killed. Shizuo gently rubbed his back, attempting to calm him down.

"Let me see the note." The distressed cat handed him the letter and envelope, and Shizuo gave a chuckle.

"W-why are you laughing? Izaya is in trouble and we don't know where he is!" The bodyguard gently petted his head.

"Because whoever took him was dumb enough to leave their address on the envelope." He held up the nilla envelope with a printed address on the top left corner.

Warehouse 16
The warf

The neko smiled slightly. "We have to get there and save Iza-nii!" The bodyguard gave him a nod and ran to the bathroom and got dressed in a hurry, choosing to go in a pair of sweats and a t-shirt instead of his usual get-up to save time, and they hurried out the door to the warf.

Izaya finally awoke to a bright light shone in his eyes, nearly blinding him completely. His sight finally even out and he looked around the room.

He attempted to get up from the chair, finding his arms and legs bound to the chair. In a panic he attempted to pull his arms from the ropes. His motions were halted by the sound of footsteps.

" You probably don't remember me. Or you probably never met me, but you met my sister." The man's voice was shaky. Angered but shaky.

"Well, it doesn't matter. You won't be here long enough to find out who I am."
