I feel so loved! I want to thank all of you for your support of this story! I mean, thanks for reading and reviewing. It makes me glad. Anyway, my idea for this chapter is that, last chapter Izaya left Nai alone with Namie. Namie actually finds Nai a bit cute, and Kasuka finds Izaya to ask about a certain Nai Wata Shi, A.K.A. [I have no idea what aka means, but I know how to use it] Shizuo Heiwajima.
Yeah. I don't know. But it'll turn out better than I'm thinking it will, it almost always does.
Summery and Disclaimer are in chapter one.
Warning(s): Namie comes onto Nai, as well as tries to get him to hate Izaya. And, Kasuka yells, angrily. It will first be in Namie's POV and then in Izaya's.
And I know Namie is supposed to like her brother. But I did say at some point [I think] that this is AU. So, she did like her brother and was completely shot down, and then she got over it.
Also, both POVs are going on at the same time. You'll know what I mean when you read it. Ah, poor, poor Shizuo.
Nai just sort of stood there after Izaya left. Poor guy, he had a crush on a total bastard that would never in a million years like him back. I know how that feels, sadly. He really looked like he was lost. "Hey, why don't you sit down next to me? I won't bite." He seemed a bit hesitant, but he sat down next to me.
"You know, you don't have to wear that if you don't want to."
"Izaya said it was my uniform. Besides, my only other clothes are dirty." He said it so quietly. I could barely even hear him. My guess was that he was shy, but didn't really care what I thought of him.
"You know, if you give me the clothing size, I'll go out after work and buy you some more clothes." Well, I did sort of kind of like him, so the least I could do was give him some more clothes to wear. That and being nice to him would get him to like me.
"Thanks." He got up and walked into the other room, most likely to see what size his clothes were, and returned slightly after. He quickly gave me his clothing size before sitting as far away from me as he could. I would have to help him get over his shyness, as well. But, something told me that that was part of who he was, and that I would be unable to change it.
"I don't see why you like our boss. He's an arrogant bastard who toys with people's lives just for his own sick, twisted amusement." His answer surprised me.
"I know."
I didn't say anything else and focused on doing Izaya's paperwork. I didn't notice that Nai had left the room until he sat down a plate with a sandwich next to me. "It's… about lunch. You shouldn't skip meals."
"Thanks." He cares for me! Or, at least, he knows how to treat a lady. I inwardly sighed. Yeah, I had fallen for him. Head over heals. I blame my female hormones. We both looked up as we hear some whistling noise coming from the kitchen.
"I'll check it out." I let him go. However, I soon wished that I hadn't. There was a small explosion from the kitchen, and the sound of a body hitting the floor. I instantly got up and ran into the kitchen, where I was faced with an unconscious Nai. Nai, who had a pipe sticking through his stomach. In front of him was a giant hole in the wall. I pulled out my cell and called an ambulance.

Soon after I started my walk, I spotted someone familiar. Someone my sisters fawned over constantly. Yūhei Hanejima, or should I say, Kasuka Heiwajima. The strangest thing is that, he was heading strait towards me. This, piqued my interest.
"Orihara-san, I'm in need of some information about a certain person."
"Why, of course! However, It'll be for a price and we'll have to go somewhere with less people." Kasuka merely nodded and followed me to a less populated area of Ikebukuro. Honestly, I don't know why I was still wondering around here. I knew where Shizu-chan was. I guess that I just didn't want to believe that Shizu-chan actually traded his very being to save my life.
"Who is it that you need information on, my dear Kasuka?"
He kept his face void of all emotion, and spoke his words slow and deliberately. "I require information on a certain Nai Wata Shi."
This actually surprised me, but I quickly recovered. "Ah, I do believe that I've already looked him up for someone else, but I'm afraid that I couldn't find a single fact."
Kasuka just looked coldly at me, giving me the feeling that he knew something. "You know something. Now tell me." The voice was cold and threatening. Definitely not how Kasuka acted. He's supposed to be indifferent and calm no matter what happened.
"I don't know what you could possibly mean."
"Tell me about my brother!"
There was silence. Did Kasuka just yell at me? This way to out-of-character for my liking. "What do you mean, your brother?" I better play this safe. Who knows what he knows?
"Yesterday, I was visited by a rather strange 'person' if that's what you could call it." His voice was back to being the monotonous boring tone it always was, and his face was blank as well. "When I asked him who he was-
"Who are you?" For once, you could hear the distrust in Kasuka's voice. Whatever it was grinned.
"I'm Kasuka Heiwajima. Or maybe I want to be Izaya Orihara, or I could be Shinra Kishitani. I can even be even be Shizuo Heiwajima." With every name the thing mentioned, it transformed into, until it was just standing there, wearing the face and body of Shizuo. Kasuka sub-consciously clenched his fists.
"I repeat, who are you?"
"I'm everyone. In a literal and metaphorical sense. Everyone is my name." Kasuka shivered. While wearing the skin of Shizuo, he sounded like him as well.
"What do you want?" Kasuka kept my voice calm.
"I know why you're worried. You're afraid for your older brother. You think that something bad must have happened to him. He's fine. But also, a completely different person, literally." Everyone thought for a moment. "Well, not completely. He still thinks the same, just with a longer fuse. And, I guess that once, only once, did he yell angrily at Izaya. He also has the same strength, in a different sense. He has been able to withstand being run over twice and being struck by lightening."
"What do you want?"
Everyone grinned evilly. "You to make a deal with me. Give me who you are, and I bring your brother back."
Kasuka ran the thought over in my head, analyzing the situation. "No deal. From what you've said, my brother isn't in some unreachable realm. If I figure out who he is now, I can easily speak with him again."
It grinned. "You passed. I'll tell you his new name now. It's Nai Wata Shi." Then, it literally disappeared from in front of Kasuka.
-and so I know that my brother is alive. Tell me about him, now."
That makes sense. But why would Everyone visit Kasuka. This is going to be a whole lot more difficult now.
"Well, he's staying at my place with me. He's a Hell of a lot more shy, and he doesn't get angry as fast. He's shorter than me by about 5 cm. I would say he weighs somewhere around 63 kg. His hair is a really dark blue and his eyes are a deep, dare I say, innocent violet. He's also prone to getting hurt a lot because apparently, there are three of him now. The one that is him, the one that is Everyone, and the one that is Nai. Apparently, there are supposed to only be the first two of him." I stopped to think for a moment. "And, apparently, the only reason he's even in this situation is because I died. So, he traded who he was to save me."
Kasuka just stood there for a moment before he replied, still in his monotonous voice. "It makes sense. Brother has loved you since he laid eyes on you."
I burst out laughing. That brute, loved me since he met me? Yeah right! "How could he of loved me since then? The first thing he said to me was 'You piss me off.' and then he tried to punch me." Kasuka's reply surprised me.
"He's been afraid of showing people how he feels ever since that time he hurt the lady who gave us milk."
That, picked up my interest. I never really bothered looking into Shizu-chan's childhood. "Ooh. Do tell."
He seemed a bit hesitant, probably because it was his brother's story to tell. "One day, as we walked home, a lady gave us milk, saying how she always saw Shizuo hurt, and that he needed to strengthen his bones. From that day on, everyday after school, she gave us free milk. Shizuo developed a bit of a crush on her. One day, we were walking home, and we saw that same lady being assaulted. He lost his temper, and lashed out. Though he meant to help the lady, he hurt her as well. He hasn't spoken to her since."
I thought for a moment. "If he was afraid of hurting me, why did he constantly throw items at me?" I saw irritation in Kaskuka's face.
"Really? You never noticed it? Brother never actually aimed to hurt you. The only time he threw something directly at you was when he knew you would dodge."
Thinking about it, Shizu-chan didn't aim at me unless I could dodge. How could I have not noticed? There was silence for a moment. "Well, we should get going. See ya, Kasuka." I ran off without saying a word. After I was safely back in a populated area of Ikebukuro, did I start walking. A few minutes later, I clutched my stomach, feeling pain. At that moment, my cell phone rang. Checking, I saw that it was Namie.
"What is it, Yagiri?" I wasn't really in the mood to talk with her. It felt like there was a pipe or something running through my insides.
"Well, um." Namie was hesitant. This couldn't possible be good. "You see, um, Nai is in the hospital with one of the water pipes sticking through his stomach."
"What?" Well, that most likely explains the pain I'm feeling.
"Nai is in the hospital. As soon as it happened I called an ambulance, and then I called you."
"Thank you. Please tell me which hospital and the room number." She did give me the name and room number. As soon as I had them, I sprinted towards the hospital. "Shit! Celty wasn't kidding when she said Fate and Destiny would try to get rid of you."
Ahhh, I'm so evil. And I feel like a horrible person for leaving poor Shizuo like he is. Blame Fate and Destiny. They're the ones trying to kill him, not me. I want Shizuo to live happily with Izaya. But, I can't jut leave him off the hook.
What happened was, water pressure built up, and when Shizuo went to go check, it burst. Yeah, that works. (I honestly have no clue if it would do that. But I needed something to work.)
And I feel so happy that so many people like Coma. I'll go type up the next chapter of that right away. After I upload this and check my emails.
