I wake up the next day slightly confused and completely exhausted.

Why the hell am I sleeping in the pleasure room, without a sleeping mat?

Sitting up, I stretch so that I can try and get some of the knots out of my back. Soft pops are heard as I turn from side to side. After my morning stretches, thoughts of what happened last night start to run through my head. From leaving the Okiya, to the fight into the alley, to those inviting eyes looking mine, and finally on the images of the two males having passionate sex in my own room.

I let out a painful sigh and push myself off the floor. I slide the door and open and start to head towards my room. To my surprise upon entering, Mikado is still in the room, fast asleep with Kida's arms wrapped around him. Both boys have a peaceful expression their faces and their soft breathing is the only sound that is heard within the room. I study Mikado's face as I stand there. The look on his face is so peaceful and happy…Not a care in the world expect for the blonde that held him. That faint smile that pulled on his lips…I feel envy start to fill me as I stare at that smile. It had been such a long time since I smiled so genuinely. I haven't let my true self show for such a long time now, I'm not even sure what the real me looks like anymore.

I run my hand through my dark locks and close the door roughly to startle the sleeping couple. Mikado shot up and looked around the room before spotting me.

"O-Orihara-san…" I remain quiet to let his current situation begin to set in before I speak. He looks down at himself, then over to his side, and finally back up at me with a rather red face.

"Rough night Mikado-kun?" I say playfully with a smirk. The boy bows his head to me.

"M-My deepest apologies!" He begins before shaking Kida slightly. Kida lets out a groan before rolling over to look up at Mikado then at me while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"Hey, what happened to your face?" He says while looking at me. I raise an eyebrow, not quite sure what he is talking about.

"What do you mean what happened to my face?"

"You've got a huge bruise on your cheek." He says while pointing at my face. I am about to protest before my eyes widen. I scramble over to my bed and pull out a mirror. Low and behold, I had a disgusting bruise on the same side of the face that the damn samurai struck last night.

Goddammit.

"Fuck!" I growl out as I through the mirror on my bed. Kida and Mikado just sit there in complete confusion. "How the hell am I suppose to cover that up!" I say more as rhetorical question.

"Well…looks like you're gonna have to wear the makeup for a little while~" He says with a chuckle. I shoot him a death glare and he immediately shuts up.

"K-Kida-kun...I should…get going…" Mikado says.

"O-Oh…yeah, you probably should get going." He says while rubbing the back of his head with a faint blush. Ha, guess the current situation finally set in for him. The dark haired boy starts to dress himself. I study Kida's expression and body language while this is occurring. His eyes are glued on his lovers body, but his eyes weren't filled with lust…They were filled with something else that I couldn't quite put my finger on. His expression and body were both relaxed and calm, even though, if caught, that meant they would lose everything.

Doesn't he know that?

Doesn't he know that he is risking everything for this boy?

Mikado starts to take his leave before Kida pulls on his kimono sleeve so that he stumbles backwards into the blonde lap. Mikado looks up confused before my apprentice presses his soft lips to the smaller males. A moment passes before Mikado starts to press more into the kiss. I try to keep myself composed, but feel a tinge of jealousy in me begin to stir up. The two part ways and Mikado makes his way out of the room. Kida sits there dazed for a few moments before he acknowledges my presence.

"So…how did you get that bruise again?" I glare at the sitting male and he raises his hands in defense. "Hey just asking! No need to get all pissed off about it." I close my eyes and start to rub my temples in irritation.

This days really going to suck.


"Something the matter Orihara-san?" The mixture of smoke and sex filled the air as I gathered up my clothing. My tired eyes meet that of my danna's.

"Nothing's wrong, why do I ask?" I reply while faking my best smile. Shiki inhales his cigarette while eyeing me down before replying.

"You're not as much of a smart ass as you normally are. Also, you have a bandage on your face. Did one of your clients strike you?" I bring my hand up at my bandaged cheek and look down. I'm kind of surprised he said something, but at the same time I'm not. Shiki may appear rough on the outside, but he is a truly compassionate man on the inside. Even though the relationship we share is quite unethical, he does look out for me. I'm not just a sex toy to him, which I am truly thankful for…but…that is all I feel for this man. I attach no emotions to our little encounters. When I start to get sexual with anyone, I completely detach myself. Sex, to me, is just sex. There is no passion, no love, no emotion.

"Something like that." I say finally. The room remains quiet as I put on all my decorative clothing. At moments like this, I am truly thankful for the older man's composure and understanding.

"Here, double pay." He says as the sound of metal being dropped and slid cross the room rings out in the air.

"Thanks…" I say while reaching over to grab the money. I know I should say something more to express my thanks, but nothing comes to mind. The conversation dies down and I take my leave from the room.

It's been a really long day and I really want to do is just fall into a deep slumber….

And never wake up.

Before I can make my way towards my room, a soft voice calls out to me. I turn and see the dark haired female that I have grown to know quite well.

"For what do I owe this honor Namie-san?" I ask with a smirk slowly making it's way on my face. The mistress crosses her arms and leans against the wall.

"You have another customer, he is waiting for you in the room at the end of the hall." My eyebrows tighten up and my face starts to show the anger that I am feeling at the moment.

"Namie-san, I am quite tired from my last custom-"

"You don't have a choice." The woman cuts me off. My glare intensifies as I cross my arms. We hold a silent battle with our eyes before the woman looks away and start's to talk once again. "Look, he refuses to be put with anyone else besides you. So just suck it up for once and do it." I continue to glare but am forced to do what the horrid woman orders.

"Fine." A small smirk appears on the woman's face in triumphant before it turns back into a frown.

"Don't let him break anything this time." She says before walking away. Disregarding her comment, I make my way towards the room with my awaiting client. I kneel down and gently bring my hands up to the door. I put soft pressure on it and start push it open. I make my way into the room and respectively bow to the man awaiting for me.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." I say with my head facing the ground.

"Huh, you actually do have manors?" I quickly raise my head when the voice of the man reaches my ears. Low and behold, the eyes of the man that has been haunting my dreams are looking right at me. I force myself to glare at the man.

"What are you doing here?"

"Is that bandage from the punch?" He asks, ignoring my question.

"Don't avoid my question, what are you doing here?"

"Now who has anger problems?" He says with a slight chuckle in his tone. I take a deep breath to regain my composure, before pulling out one of my masks to mask the pain I'm feeling.

"Am I really that enticing Shizu-chan~?" The man started to glare at my new found playful tone. "I thought you weren't gay, did I change your mind?" I continue.

"I just want to talk." Talk? Oh how intriguing.

"Oh really? You just want to talk?" I ask, not believing him one bit. Nobody comes to a geisha house to just talk; they come for other things as well.

"Yeah." He says simply while looking down at his katana laying on the floor. He had it laying just out of his reach. I guess it's something of a peace offering.

"Fine, what do you want to 'talk' about then Shizu-chan?" There is silence before the blonde starts conversation back up.

"Look, err…I was kind of thinking that maybe we can talk about things. Things we can't tell anyone else." I raise an eyebrow and look at brute in disbelief.

"You mean like we tell each other our inner most thoughts and secrets?" The blonde nods, completely serious about this whole thing. I have to stop myself from laughing. How ridiculous. "This isn't a confessional Shizuo, this is a geisha house. People don't come here to talk about their feelings."

"Look…I know that's not how it is now but in the past they use to do that right? Besides I'm paying you, so what's the difference?" He says. I can't help myself from laughing this time. This only angered the blonde more. "Shut the fuck up!"

"Okay, okay." I say with a chuckle. "Let's talk. What do you want to talk about?" Silence takes over the room once again before his voice fills the room once again.

"Are you happy Izaya-kun?"

In other news; I am getting a Shizaya Tattoo for my 20th birthday...however, I don't know how I want it! D: So I am putting out a calling to all artists. Draw me a shizaya tattoo and, if I decide to use the one you draw, I will pay you $20 for your design. Some additional information; it's going on my lower back, essentially a tramp stamp, and I want to incorporate a quote. I know that I absolutely don't want just their faces in general on my body, I also want it only black...no color, and I would like it a medium size. I'm VEEEERRYY serious about this guys! If your an artist, please draw a tattoo for me ^_^ I turn 20 in January~
