I stood there, frozen in my footsteps as I gazed upon the seven muscular men with yellow bandanas covering half their faces.
"Huh? Sh-Shizuo Hewajima? What the hell's goin on here!?"-shouted one from the back. "What gives? I thought this was Orihara's place!"- said another one. "Damn it! If the boss knows that we fucked up again, we're screwed for sure!"-they continued.
I stood there in shock as the seven men brawled. "Boys, boys, boys! Did ya forget already? The boss man was sure that this was Izaya's place. And I specifically rememba him tellin us to kill anything and anyone in our way…heheheh"- a guy said, taking a crowbar out of his backpack. "Huh?...OhhhYeah, yeah…I rememba now! Haha and ta think we almost missed our golden opportunity to kill two birds with one stone! I wonder how many gang membas Shizuo's killed…it would be nice ta get ridda a pest like that."- said another, taking out a bat.
…The…the yellow scarves?…but…why the hell are they here? Why now? Why now…when I'm in my most fragile state…damn it…
I…I have to play it cool…relax Shizuo…you can take'um.
"And just what the hell do you think you're doing here?"- I said in the most serious voice I could pull off. "Get the hell outta here… before I rearrange… all your faces."- I continued, trying to hide my pain from them. "Fuck off…all…all of…you"- I said, leaning on the door.
Shit! No! Not now! Please let me for once control my body! Don't give up on me damn it!?
"Hmm…I wonder what you're doin at Orihara's anyways…were you two busy fightin? Did ya want some information on someone? Did we come at the wrong time? Heheh…judging by your apparel, I guess you had nowhere else ta take a shower"- a guy said, chuckling.
I sensed Izaya glaring at me from the back. I knew he was terrified…I felt it. I gave out a little sigh and winced, as I touched my hip. Shit…I'm so screwed….
One of the gang members looked at me with a bit of confusion then finally realized. He started laughing hysterically then spoke. "HEHEH! GUYS! HE'S HURT! WE CAN TAKE'UM! OH BOY I WONDER WHAT THE BOSS'LL GIVE US FOR KILLIN SHIZUO HEWAJIMA!?"- he said, cracking his fingers.
No…no…please…not now…why did this have to happen now…I'm….I'm going to die…
My serious expression turned into one of desperation."Well, well, well…looks like this is our lucky day boys…heheh…Masaomi sure is gonna be proud of us…"- a gang member said, slowly approaching me with two butcher knives.
I quickly slammed the door on their faces, holding the knob as tight as I could. I glared over my shoulder at Izaya. "Izaya! Listen to me! You have to hide now! I'll fight them!"- I said in a nervous tone. "No! Are you insane!? You can't fight them! You can barely walk! I'm not going anywhere!"- he said slamming the ground.
"Listen to me flea! We don't have that much time! They're gonna bust in here any second…this door isn't stable enough to keep them out! Please! Go hide…please…"- I begged him. He looked at me for a moment, then looked at the ground in disgust. A moment later, he got up on his feet, ran down the hall and hid inside one of the rooms.
I breathed out a sigh of relief but then was quickly alarmed by the guys' voice from behind the door."You can't keep this up forever Shizuo! We're gonna kill you and Izaya!"- he said, pushing on the door. I held the door's knob as tightly as possible trying to prevent them from coming in and after a minute of them trying to break open the door, it grew quiet.
Then suddenly, they lunged a crowbar in the middle of the door, breaking the wood apart from each other. They slowly pulled the crowbar out. It had made a gap right in the center of the door. I cautiously took a look in the hole and saw one of the gang members. He pulled off his bandana and smiled maniacally as he slammed his foot against the door causing it to brake off its' hinges. I flew back, hitting the wall. I grimaced as I looked up to see all seven men, bandanas off, smiling down at me.
"Heheh, this is gonna be a piece of cake!"- said the guy with the bat. "Don't worry Shizuo we'll take good care of Izaya. Heh, by the time we're done with him, he'll be begging us to kill him. I know you would've wanted to kill him but I'm sorry, Masaomi wanted us to kill him personally…and well you…he didn't say anything about you bein here but hey, looks like you're a bonus."- another member said with a twisted smirk.
Two guys approached me and lifted me off the ground. I tried so hard to break free and at least try and fight them but it was no good.
"I'll…I'll kill all of you!"- I said, slowly squirming around, trying to break free from their grasp. "Really now? Kill all of us? I don't think so."- the guy with the crowbar said. "Speakin of killin…where is that little bitch Izaya at? Ohhh, Izaya…come out, come out where ever you are!"- he continued, walking around the house.
No…I won't let them hurt Izaya…I…I WON'T LET THEM!
My eyes shut open as I felt adrenaline run through my veins once more. I turned to look at the guy who was holding my right arm. I snarled and head butted him as hard as I possibly could, causing him to fall to the floor, unconscious. Then, I turned to the guy who was restraining my left arm. I slowly smiled at him as he began to realize what just happened to his partner. He let go of my left arm, in panic as he saw his former alley on the ground. I grabbed the guy by his collar and slammed him onto the wall.
"P-PLEASE! I-I'M SORRY! DON'T KILL ME!"- he yelled. I formed a fist with my right hand, as I held him in place with my left. Then suddenly, another member hit me in the back of the head with a shovel, causing it to break. I quickly let go of the guy I was about to punch and held the back of my head, trying to regain my focus. The member I was about to punch ran to the guy that hit me with the shovel. I then looked at my hands and they were bloody. Not bothering to turn around to face the two gang members, I spoke. "You know…that really hurt…and do you know what happens to people that hurt me? They end up dying very…very…VERY painful deaths…"- I said in a serious tone. I heard them whimpering. I turned around with a devilish smile as I jolted towards them.
I grabbed both their faces and threw them at the wall. I threw them so hard that they tore through the wall. I walked towards the huge hole I made and looked outside. They were on top of each other, both unconscious. I smiled at the sight, then slowly turned around. I looked up to see three terrified men gripping their weapons as tightly as they could. I was feeding off of their fears. Their terror was my drug!
"HAHA! WHAT'S THE MATTER YELLOW SCARVES!? NOT TOO ENTHUSIASTIC ANYMORE? WHAT HAPPENED HUH!?"- I said laughing maniacally.
All three backed up, whimpering in fear. "I…I think I just pissed myself…"- one said, in total fear. "Please…we're sorry! Don't…don't kill us please!"- another one continued. "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND COME HERE YA SHITS! LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!"- I yelled, as I lunged at them. I grabbed one member by his legs and threw him at the other two laughing hysterically. "AIN'T THIS FUN? HAHAHA! IT IS FOR ME!"- said twirling around, smiling.
I lost it…at this point I don't know what was controlling my body….this…this always happens…damn it. I'll never learn to control myself. I hate violence…I…I hate myself.
After a few minutes things grew quiet. I looked at the gang members' bodies, counting them…wait a minute…there was one missing…where's the last one…the one with the crowbar…I began to panic as I feared for the worst…WHERE IS HE!?
I ran down the hallways, looking through every single room.
I opened the last door and saw Izaya curled into a ball in the corner of the room with a knife. I ran up to him. "IZAYA! ARE YOU HURT!?"- I yelled. "Sh…Shizu-Chan? SHIZU-CHAN! YOU'RE ALRIGHT!. "- he yelled.
At this point, the adrenaline was decreasing in my body and I slowly started feeling the pain in my hip once more.
"I...I thought they killed you…I'm…I'm so happy you're alright!"- Izaya said looking up at me with tears in his eyes. I smiled at him and helped him stand up. "But…how…how did you defeat all of them?"- he asked. "I…I don't know…it was like another person was controlling my body…I….I don't know what came over me…"- I said looking towards the ground. Then, Izaya slowly placed his hand on my cheek. "I don't care if you lost control, I'm just so happy you're alright…"- he said, smiling.
I smiled back at him. He, then turned around to get his knife from the ground, then once he got back up and faced me, his facial expression changed from a happy one to a one filled with horror.
"SHIZUO! WATCH OUT!"- he yelled as he attempted to push me out of the way. But…it was too late. The guy….the guy with the crowbar…it was him.
Before I could even turn around, he bashed the crowbar against my hip. A loud cracking noise came from the impact as the crowbar broke in half.
I instantly fell to the floor. The pain sent me into utter shock as I began shivering on the floor. I didn't even have enough energy to scream. I…I was paralyzed…I couldn't move.
"FUCK YEAH! I GOT HIM!"- the gang member said, screaming with joy.
Izaya looked at my now motionless body, his eyes…his eyes were different this time…I had never seen his eyes like that before…they were so….so cold…
He then bitterly looked at the gang member.
"You."- he said pointing at him. "I'LL KILL YOU!"- Izaya said jolting at the gang member, blade ready in his hand.
The gang member had no weapon to fight with. He looked around the room nervously, whimpering. Then, he fell to his knees. "PLEASE! I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WANTED TO KILL HIM! PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU! DON'T HURT ME!"- the gang member begged. Izaya stopped in his footsteps, leaned his head to the left, and gave the guy a crooked smile.
"You're pleas for help will do you no good. I love all humans…BUT YOU'RE AN EXCEPTION!"- he said glaring at the guy with pure hatred.
I looked at their shadows from the wall. I couldn't really see what was going on…all I could here was Izaya laughing as the man's pleas for help grew quiet. However, through the shadow I could see Izaya stabbing the gang member multiple times. But then, I noticed that after a few minutes, while continuously stabbing the now dead gang member's body, Izaya's maniacal laughter turned into uncontrollable sobs.
After five minutes of stabbing the body, Izaya crawled on all fours towards me. He looked at me for a few moments. He tried reaching to touch my shoulder but pulled away and began crying harder. "Sh…SHIZU-CHAN! I'M SORRY!"- he said, burying his face in his arms. I slowly turned towards him and smiled. "Why…are….you…crying Izaya-Kun?"- I said with a faint grin. Izaya looked up at me, with shock. "What? Don't…don't tell me…you thought…I was….dead…"- I said slowly. A huge smile spread across Izaya's face. "You're…okay…"- he said. "Yeah, I'm alright…why the hell…were the yellow scarves…here anyways…"- I said quietly. "Let's just say that…me and their boss don't get along too well. I'm so sorry I got you into this mess."- Izaya said holding my hand. "Don't worry….about it…"- I said with a faint smile. "Thank god…I'm so happy you're okay! Let's go to Shinra's. He'll take good care of you Shizu-Chan."- Izaya said smiling with joy.
"Yeah…that's the thing…I…I can't feel my legs…"- I said.
