Death iN Turn
Chapter Seven: Sexilicious
Inesa stared at the clothes on her bed. Never again will she let Shinra pick up clothes for her when he goes out shopping for food. She specifically told him that she wanted plain sweatshirts, doesn't matter what color they were, and cargo pants, same rules applied. No, instead he decided to go a different route, he bought her a pair of tight yoga pants, three pair of blue jeans, a pair of red sweatpants that said hotthing on the butt, (probably the matching pair the sweatshirt she was force to wear a week ago when she met up with Mikado and Izaya). The shirts weren't any better; a white button up blouse, a low cut short sleeve shirt, actually, a couple of those in a lot of different colors, and a tank top.
In her unfortunate state, she had to choose one of each pair, since she just took a shower and her original clothes are finally in the shower, (And Celty and Shinra stressed the finally part). She was going to kill Shinra after this. She was going to tear him to pieces.
Inesa picked the tank top, which was purple, and the sweatpants. Tonight, she wasn't going out, not without a sweatshirt.
Once she was finally dressed Inesa walked over to the mirror and looked at her naked face. Not really looking, more like looking at her one heavily scared eye since that's the only thing she allows her eyes to stare at when her face wasn't wrapped up. If she does happen to glance at her face it only brings back memories of her…
Inesa shook her head and grabbed the white, long wraps on the dresser; at least Shinra did one thing right when he bought her new ones as well. She pinned her slightly longer, shoulder length hair up finding it difficult to pin due to thickness of her dark (almost black) brown hair. Why, she wondered, she was cursed with this thick hair, she probably will never know.
Once everything was in place, and she took one last look at her newly covered face, she finally walked out of the room… But, to her dismay, and she kicked herself for not smelling him before she walked out, Shizuo somehow arrived here undetected by her. And, of course, he was instantly staring at her across the room where he stood in the living room. Their eyes meet simultaneously, but soon his eyes wondered down to the clothes she was wearing.
Shinra, who was standing next to Shizuo, which Inesa just noticed he was standing there, began to speak, "Hey! You're wearing the clothes I gave you!" He was smiling at her not realizing how her temper was boiling over at his stupidity, (yes, for a doctor he was quite stupid).
She was about to walk over to him and punch him in the jaw until Shizuo lifted something up that he was holding for Inesa to see and offered it to her.
"A sweatshirt!" Inesa said with relief. She walked over to him and grabbed the sweatshirt out of his hand, her eye showing that she was happy.
"Yeah, you did just text me that Shinra was an idiot and didn't buy you any sweatshirts, not too long ago." He shrugged his shoulders and pushed up his sunglasses further up his noise. "And I was nearby; you forgot didn't you?"
Inesa smiled up at him, but didn't say anything because it was true. Shizuo sighed but didn't say anything more.
Two days ago Inesa stole Shizuo's phone out of his pocket while the two and Celty were "hanging out", or just talking about how their day went or whatever. Inesa just listened in and only replied to what they were saying but had nothing to add to their conversation. Inesa, in her boredom, stole Shizuo's cell phone and ran off with it. Juvenile, yes, but she becomes bored with stupidity and tends to do stupid things. Shizuo, of course, chased after her yelling cursed words and swearing to kill her if she doesn't bring his phone back. As she ran she began to type her phone number into his phone and called it. Shizuo didn't know this and thought she was making a long distance call, which in his case his phone plan didn't cover it, (And it didn't help that Inesa began to talk into it in a different language).
Now, she constantly texts him, sometimes he replies with a short yes or no, or just doesn't reply at all because the things she said are either stupid or irrelevant.
Shinra began to pout, "But you told me to grab some clothes for you and now you don't like them?"
Inesa put on the sweatshirt and after she got it over her head she glared at Shinra. "Why do you ask that?" She said sarcastically.
Shinra pouted some more and began to ramble on about nonsense like usual when he's upset or overly happy/excited. Inesa turned her attention back to Shizuo. "So, how much do I owe you?"
Shizuo shook his head, "No need to pay me back."
Inesa smiled. "Come on, I'm not going to make you buy me something without paying you back."
"Is that so? Then how come you're always making me buy you food?"
Inesa huffed and crossed her arms. "Because, it's what a gentleman does, something you obviously lack."
Shizuo glared. "I just bought you a sweatshirt out of the goodness of my heart and now you have the nerve to insult me?" He began to growl at the end. Inesa smiled up at him, she thought it to be cute when he gets slightly angry at her.
She grabbed his arm lightly and smiled up at him while she closed her eye as she spoke. "Come on Blondie, I want to pay you back. I actually have money this time."
What Inesa didn't see was Shizuo looking at her hand dumbfounded? He shook his head and sighed, "Whatever you want, I learned now that nothing can change your mind." Shizuo said in defeat.
"I know," She said and opened her eye. "Being a woman is great." She walked away and back into her bedroom. A second latter she came back out with a wad of cash.
Shizuo looked at her with surprise. "Where did you get that at?"
"I've been helping Celty out with her jobs, the more complicated ones, and she gives me half of what she makes that day," she said and shrugged her shoulders. "So, how much was it."
"800 yen."
Inesa grabbed about 1000 out of her bundle and handed it to Shizuo. He looked at it and shook his head. "Really?" He said annoyingly. Inesa smiled and hurriedly placed the 1000 yen into Shizuo's pocket. "Hey!"
Inesa ran back to her bedroom while saying. "Too late, it's already in your pocket!" Inesa could imagine his eye twitching with irritation, something she's getting use to seeing. She loved playing around with Shizuo, he was way too entertaining. When she placed her money back in her sock and then under her mattress she shivered at the thought; she was growing more human every day. But is it human emotion she's feeling, or just plain old mischief?
Then a familiar scent entered the house. Celty has finally arrived; she left early in the morning, when it was still dark, for a job. It's now ten o'clock in the morning and she's just now getting back? Inesa meet her out in the living room where she watched her slump down on the couch. Shinra sat down next to her and opened his mouth to say something but Celty put her finger to his lips telling him to shut it. Celty's shoulders slumped down and she seemed to sink further into the couch.
Shizuo sat on the other side of her and placed both of his hands behind his head. "That bad, huh?" He asked, even though he already knew the answer.
Celty typed on her PDA, "I really don't want to talk about it." Celty grabbed the controller and turned on the TV. As soon as the TV turned on the face of a young man with dark brown hair, brownish grey eyes, and a smile that seemed forced and over used began talking into a microphone about his upcoming movie that was coming out tomorrow. Celty instantly perked up when she saw him. She scooted up till her butt was barely on her seat and her arms were held close to her body as she shacked ever so slightly from excitement. Shizuo looked away from the TV to his left at nothing in particular as soon as he saw the young man.
Inesa watched him as he did this, now this she found to be quite interesting.
She walked over to the couch until she was standing behind it and propped her arms up between Celty and Shizuo. She placed her head on her hands and watched as the young man continued to speak. Inesa knew he was only acting the part of a happy outgoing actor, she could see it in his eyes, and he's a lot mellower than what he's exhibiting.
"Who's that?" Inesa asked as she watched the screen. At the corner of her eye she saw Shizuo suddenly freeze, not even taking a breath of air.
Shinra was the first the answer, "That's Kasuka He…" But Celty interrupted him by shoving her PDA in his face telling him to shut his mouth. She wasn't acting all giddy anymore, no, she was definitely trying to hide something and she had the strange feeling it had something to do with Shizuo?
"Kasuka, huh?" She said nonchalantly. "He's seems…" Everyone began to tense up; Inesa tried her hardest not to smile. "Weird." Shizuo stood up quickly and took off his glasses, his hands shaking ever so slightly. Inesa continued, "Weird, but cute. I usually don't like humans but I can see myself going out on a couple of dates with him. He seems sexilicious." Sexilicious? Where did she hear that name before? Now it's going to bother her for the rest of the day.
Shizuo just stood there, his hands weren't shaking anymore and he seemed… Inesa couldn't put her hand on it. She actually hasn't seen Shizuo act like this before. Was he – thinking?
Celty stood up and showed me her PDA. "It's Kasuka Heiwajima, Shizuo's younger brother." Inesa froze, what she just said completely backfired on her. Saying the Shizuo's younger brother is cute is almost like saying Shizuo was cute himself. Inesa could fall over and die at this moment. Ugh! These human emotions are tormenting her! Embarrassed? When does she ever get embarrassed about anything? Shinra began to snicker probably realizing as he watched her very closely, of the mistake she just made.
Shizuo put his hands into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette pack with his right. "I'm going now." He made his way to the door and walked out.
"I'm actually kind of surprise," Shinra began. "That Shizuo didn't try just killing you now. Even if you are complimenting his brother, he doesn't like anyone talking about Kasuka in front of him."
Inesa sighed. "I'm going to my bedroom now." Inesa sighed once more and made her way to her bedroom. Now she was going to pretend pass out on the bed for the rest of the day; at least, until night comes around.
Shizuo took the elevator down as he lit his cigarette. He took one long drag and blew the smoke out of his damaged lungs. Yes, he knew that smoking was "Bad" for him, but he really didn't give a damn. Inesa… She's a fucking idiot. He gritted his teeth together; he should have kicked her ass in there when she mentioned his brother. Damn it, now he can't stop thinking about her. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK! But why didn't he kick her ass, he certainly had the urge to, and his anger was at its peak to do so. So, why? Why didn't he do it?
Once Shizuo made his way out of the building he instantly turned to the right and made his way down the street. He didn't know where he was going; he had too much on his mind to really give a damn. That stupid fucking bitch, he was going to kill her next to he sees her. He shouldn't let her get to him this much. She's almost like Izaya, damn how he hates thinking about that flea, but it's true. He had no idea what she was thinking, one moment she'll be happy and – crazy, then she'll be quit and zoned out from the world; deep in thought about something.
This was when Shizuo decided that no matter what, he was going to figure out this girl.
Shizuo somehow made his way to Russia Sushi; at first he didn't realize it until he almost ran into Simon. He saw Simon's white uniform and stopped in mid-step when he was only mere inches from walking into him. Shizuo looked up slightly to the man he came to know as his friend, in a sort of strange and twisted way considering how many times they fought. But something was off today, Simon wasn't his happy chip self. Simon stood there with his eye staring down at the ground, deep in thought and seemed to be worried.
Shizuo gave him a confused face then spook making Simon snap back into reality, "Hey, is there something wrong?"
Simon looked down at his friend smiling, "Oh, nothing friend, everything is just great!" But Shizuo could see past his smile. There was something deeply wrong, but Simon obviously didn't want to talk about it. But Shizuo did note that he looked like he saw a ghost. Shizuo mentally shrugged, he wasn't going to pester Simon any further on the issue. "So, how's little Inesa?" Simon asked, eyeballing Shizuo.
"What?" Shizuo asked, a little annoyed at how Simon was looking at him.
"Nothing, I was just wondering how our friend is doing, you are always with her it seems."
Shizuo shrugged. "Well, Tom hasn't had me working lately and I've frankly been bored." Then Shizuo thought about it, not liking in the least bit how Simon said that, like he was insinuating something. "I've been with Celty a lot, too. Not just Inesa."
Simon nodded while he smiled big. "Oh yes, yes, of course. So, she doing good?"
Shizuo shrugged once more. "Annoying as always.
Simon laughed. "It seems she only acts that way with you, if you haven't noticed."
Shizuo looked ahead of him, ignoring the fact the Simon was still trying to insinuate at something. What? He didn't know. Shizuo began to walk away mumbling something underneath his breath; he didn't like to play games. Simon yelled after him but didn't follow, "Come back whenever you get hungry! And don't forget about Inesa!" Shizuo waved his hand over his head but didn't turn around to acknowledge what Simon said. To tell the truth, Shizuo really, really didn't give a rat's ass about the situation, even if he doesn't entirely understand it… or doesn't want to understand it.
Shizuo phone began to ring with a text. He stopped where he was walking and grabbed his phone out his pocket and opened it. It was a text from Inesa, which actually said iN, that's what Inesa put her phone number under in his contact list. Blondie! Bored! Hungry! Celty has a job tonight. Afterwards, want to go eat at Russia Sushi?
Shizuo replied, Sure.
In a minute his phone rang again. You pay!
Shizuo didn't reply back but changed the subject completely. We need to talk.
Talk about what?
Damn, Shizuo hated texting, he doesn't know how someone can do this all day. It takes Shizuo to text a small simple text in about five minutes; while another person texting the same message takes a couple of seconds. He looked down at his message he just texted, he was still a little pissed off about earlier, and the more he thought about it the more pissed off he got. The message he typed didn't make any sense, anyone can tell he was mad by all the missed placed letters and numbers all over the place. Shizuo sneered and erased the message and just typed, you.
I'm a very boring person, how about we talk about you and all of your dirty little secrets. ;)
Shizuo closed his phone. He was done texting, she wouldn't take him seriously. Damn that girl, if she keeps it up he's bound to "accidently" kill her. But he doesn't know if it would actually be an accident. Why couldn't she be like Celty? They both got along so well, they understood each other. But Inesa, she was a completely different story. At first, when he saw Inesa fight her brother, the torture she went through and then afterwards, how she looked scared/frightened and… determined, he felt like he knew her in a way. Now, she's seems like a completely different person. But sometimes he still sees that side of her once in awhile when she's deep in thought about whatever, possibly her brother?
Maybe she's faking it. It's a possibility, a stupid pathetic possibility. Why would she do that? Now he was even more pissed off.
Shizuo walked down the streets hunched over more than usual and a look that told everyone who came near him that he was out to kill. The people who saw him made sure they made their way around him, not coming anywhere near him. At least, until someone accidentally ran into him; a business man talking on his phone, not paying any attention to Shizuo whatsoever. He actually continued walking without even saying sorry.
Shizuo turned around and looked after the man who kept on walking, a loud annoyed growl escaping his lips making everyone around him look down at the ground and walk away completely in fear. Yes, everyone fears him, they better be. The business man on the phone turned around and looked at him, not realizing in the least bit that it was Shizuo.
"In running into me without saying sorry is telling me that you did it on purpose, almost like you're trying to prove something," Shizuo began, glaring at the man in front of him who was completely clueless. "It's almost like you wanted to run into me, just to piss me off," His voice rising into a yell. "And in doing so you just pissed off the wrong guy at the wrong time!" Shizuo walked over to a bench and picked it up with little effort, yelling as he did so. The Business man screamed in fear and turned around to try and run, but Shizuo swung the bench and hit the side of the man making him fly off to the side hitting a light pole and then falling to the ground in a twisted heap, (but still alive). Shizuo stood there in the last position after he hit him, arms extended, bench still in his hands as he breathed hard.
His phone began to ring again, he dropped the bench and reached into his pocket and put the phone into his ear. "What?"
It was Tom. "Who pissed you off?"
Shizuo sighed, the anger dissipating. "What is it?"
"We have another Job, meet me by Russia Sushi."
"Okay, I'll see you." Shizuo hung up the phone and turned around toward Russia Sushi. He had a feeling that today and tonight was going to be a long night.
Night descended over Ikebukuro while Shizuo was leaning against the wall of Russia Sushi; Celty and Inesa drove up on Celty's bike, Inesa sitting on the back comfortably. Inesa was the first to get off the bike; she was wearing the same sweatshirt Shizuo gave her earlier, but with tight jean pants on instead of the red ones. One thing Shizuo noted when he saw her with sweatpants and a tank top was that she was… curvy, curvier than most, especially near the hips that was even showing through the blue jeans, (Shizuo is still a guy after all).
"Aren't you tired, Celty?" Inesa asked as she watched Celty kicked her stand down.
Celty brought her PDA out and began to type, "A little, but I'll survive."
Inesa didn't say anything more and looked over at Shizuo and brought her hand up in a small wave, "Yo."Shizuo nodded, but stayed quit. Inesa stared at him, waiting for him to say something, but he didn't and this made Inesa sigh. "Okay – so, what do you want to talk about?"Shizuo closed his eyes but still didn't say anything. To tell the truth, he really didn't want to say anything in front of Celty, he wanted to be alone with Inesa.
Almost on cue, Celty's phone began to buzz. She accepted the call and brought it to where her head would be. An all too familiar, sly voice began to speak and almost instantly Celty was done and hit the end button on her phone. She began to type and said, "Got to go, looks like there was a little trouble with one of Izaya's informants and he wants me to come along. Probably just to scare them into submission." When Inesa nodded and Shizuo just glared at the ground with anger Celty drove off into the night air, her bike making a naying noise as it drove away.
Inesa turned toward Shizuo, a serious tone was about her. "I can tell something is bothering you, more so than usual."
Shizuo glared at the girl he was having a hard time deciding if she was friend material. "I don't get you."
Inesa stared at him for a moment, assessing his words. "Nobody does, and I like to keep it that way."
"Then why do you stay with us, if you don't want anyone to get you, then why do you continue to live in Ikebukuro?"
This caught Inesa a little off guard. Her one eye grew wide for only a split second before she looked back toward the ground staying silent. Shizuo stayed quit as well as he waited for her to finally answer him. It was about five minutes before she decided to speak once again, "To tell you the truth blondie, I really don't know myself."
"Well, that's pretty pathetic."
"What's pathetic?"
"It's pathetic that you don't know, and I also think it's a lie."
Inesa glared at him. "And how do you know if I'm lying, you don't even know me."
Shizuo glared back. "Maybe if you give me more insight about…"
Inesa cut him off, taking a step toward him, her glare deepening. "Is this what it's about, you just want to know more about me, learn my very own dirty little secrets? What for? Why would you really care?"
"I don't, but if you're staying at Shinra's and Celty's place then I want a better idea of who you are so I won't consider you a threat," Shizuo growled, he was growing impatient.
Inesa took yet another step towards Shizuo, almost like she was challenging him. "Maybe I am a threat, maybe I'm a mass murderer and wants all of you dead?"
This, almost made Shizuo laugh. "If that's true, then why haven't you killed us yet?"
"Maybe I'm waiting for the right moment." Then Inesa smiled. "Since we're talking about dirty little secrets, why won't you tell me about yours? What's your dirty little secret, Blondie?"
Shizuo pushed himself off the wall and took his own step forward until Inesa was only mere inches away from him. He glared down at the girl who only went up to his chest. "This isn't about me."
"Isn't it?"
"Will you stop playing games, why are you always like this? Always acting like a child?" Shizuo voice rose until he was almost yelling.
"I like to have fun, pure fun, what's wrong with that?"
Shizuo grabbed her collar and brought her face close to his, his face showing complete hatred toward Inesa. "It's wrong when you're acting, faking, hiding from something, something I want to know. What are you hiding from?"
Inesa didn't say anything, her face – began to… soften? She looked at Shizuo with a new face, something he never seen on her face before, it was … sadness, and a look of betrayal, then, just like that, it was gone. He let her go and turned to the side, not looking at her any further. He didn't say anything more, the look she just gave him…
What is he doing? Obviously she was hiding something, something about her past, something that was hurting her, and all he was doing is trying to make her think it, to tell the story to him, and possibly making her relive it. It had to be something terrible, Shizuo known Inesa long enough to know that she wouldn't let her guard down that fast, even if he can only see her eye, he could still see the emotion she was going through. She can be a bad liar sometimes. This isn't right, the way he's acting toward her. Damn it! What the hell is wrong with him! This isn't like him, why does she do this to him?
"I've always been afraid of losing control," Shizuo began. He walked back over to where he was leaning against the wall, but this time he sat down on the ground with one leg propped up where he placed his arm and he began to speak about his own past. Something about the look she gave him triggered something inside of him, almost like he had to bore himself to her so she can do the same. A story for a story.
Inesa at first stared at him as he spoke, only watching and listening. Soon though, she too sat down close next to him and placed both hands behind her head and just – listened. This calmed Shizuo down some, it was nice to tell someone here and there what's been bugging him all these years. It's also nice to have someone listening, someone who wasn't afraid of him.
Someone who listens and may possibly understand what he went through.
(YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, done with chapter seven! This one took me FOREVER, I had such a hard time writing this one. Shizuo can be complicated and I tried my hardest to keep him in character, so I hope you guys think he's not OOC. If you think he is OOC, then I'll re-write this chapter.
