Shape Shifter CH 08


"So? Why didn't you just kill it?"

"It'd be a waste… rare things, regardless if they're dangerous should be treasured... namie-chan, and I can tell you'd want to experiment with it…" Izaya reasons lifting a finger and swinging it as he makes a point. "…also, and I need to make sure it doesn't make any trouble for Shizu-chan, It can transform into him and who knows what it'd do… I'm just hoping it doesn't copy its victim's skills, meaning Shizu-chan's strength, but I'm sure it's strong on its own though…" he continues. The main subject of the raven haired duo was currently locked up in a small cage specially made for keeping very wild animals, neatly placed on the coffee table in the middle of the room. The three were at Izaya's office, bringing the cat was a lot easier than expected, it obediently let itself be held by Izaya and get locked up. It looked like a completely normal cat in a cage.

Last night wasn't easy though, Izaya had to stay up and keep his eyes open while the bigger man snored right behind him. The problem wasn't the fact that Izaya had to keep awake but the fact that the creature stayed awake as well. The two kept staring at each other's eyes the entire night, golden round eyes reflect reddish brown ones, izaya swore he'd have nightmares and he had the disadvantage of needing to blink more than that cat.

*yaaawn~* "Haa… I didn't get to sleep thanks to that thing…" Izaya waves namie to come closer. "I think I'll go home and just rest for today, sorry, look after stuff here while I'm gone, okay!" he orders as he shows the computer screen flooded with emails containing jobs. "Can't be helped… but there's no way I can finish all of these, I'll leave some for you when you wake up…will you come back here or should I send the files to you so you could do them at home?" namie asks. "hmm… I might need some stuff here, on second thought; I'll just stay here for a nap. The couch can't be that bad" the raven says as he stands up from his swivel chair. "Keep a close eye on him…" passing the tabby, fully awake despite the last night, how lucky of the cat to not feel sleepy, that or it has the ability to sleep with its eyes open, Izaya'd be pissed.

Falling on the couch with his front, hands above him, izaya takes a peek from his shoulder. Revealing those yellow eyes again, pasted on him, Creepy… his last thought as he finally drifts to sleep.


How troublesome… almost half of these are from yesterday… I guess we were too busy looking for… namie's eyes drift to the tabby. It had its eyes finally closed. Did it fall asleep? namie inspects, standing up, namie walks closer to the tabby. Slightly getting sight of the sleeping informant on the couch, It's amazing how he can just sleep there knowing there's a killer right in front of him. Namie heads over to the coat rack, grabbing the informant's coat. Kneeling down in front of the informant, she gently places it over her boss's upper body. *creaak*

Huh? The long haired raven quickly turns to where the sound came from, it was the cage. The cage's door had opened; the black tabby now with its eyes open was standing up and was poking its head out of its confinement. What? How? Namie hurriedly stands up, grabbing her purse and taking out a pack of tranquilizers, she'd been carrying it every day in case of trouble. Unfazed by the sudden movement, the black cat continues to remove itself from the cage. It's direction, Izaya. Tch, that idiot! He should have just gone home! Namie quickly takes aim, grabbing one of the tranquilizer and throwing it at the direction of the seemingly attacker. The tabby, expecting the attack, swiftly dodges the needle, now very wary of the female employee. Damn it… Again! Namie grabs another, turning her attention from the tabby definitely wasn't a good idea though.

The tabby makes a run to attack the long haired raven, completely unnoticed. Luckily, Namie turned back quickly, managing to get the needle inside the cat's body as it tried to jump her, pushing the liquid drug inside its veins. The black feline, jumps away from namie, injection still sticking in its fur.

'What… what is this?'

Namie goes for another tranquilizer, just in case, ready for another attack. Said attack though, didn't seem like it'd come. The drugged feline, falls into its belly, its eyelids slowly dropping…

'…'

…and losses consciousness.

Phew, that was a close one. Good thing this stuff worked on it. Namie stands up; walking over the sleeping cat she picks it up gently and places it back inside the cage. Used tranquilizer can stay effective for more than 5 hours, it was safe for now.

Tch, just look at that stupid face… I'm amazed you can sleep so peacefully in front of your probably soon to be killer. Namie turns, getting sight of the soundly sleeping informant completely unaware of what happened. Well… it makes me happy you trust me more now… tch… it's almost lunch time, he should be waking up in a while… I should go buy something… Namie thinks looking at her watch.

Looking back at the sleeping tabby, she adds another lock on the cage's door. It should be alright, that tranquilizer was enough to put Heiwajima-san to sleep… in less than 10 minutes anyway… She takes one last peak at the informant… and leaves.

Not knowing it was such a regretful mistake that caused a terrible incident.
