Dark Changes
Chapter 9 Fear
[Saika] No one's on?
[Saika] I hope everyone is okay…
[Saika] I can hear a lot of yelling outside…
Izaya stepped back, trying to keep the black bag out of the way, he didn't know what might happen if Shizuo were to damage it's contents.
Shizuo smirked, thinking he had hit Izaya, not just the bag. The blonde stepped forward, ripping a guard rail from the pavement. The raven's eyes widened slightly, fear ran through him, but it barely showed on his face.
"I'd love to stay and continue our game, Shizu-chan" he said as he showed a fake smirk. "Buuut~ I have to get going now~" He waved and quickly sprinted through the alley. Shizuo chased after him with the large piece of metal still in his grip.
"Get back here, you bastard!" Shizuo shouted as he turned the corner after the brunette.
Izaya sped up, not wanting the bag to be in the line of fire when Shizuo chucked the guard rail at his head. He jumped up onto a fire escape and made his way up to the roof of the building. Thinking he had lost the brute, he sat down and opened the bag to review the damage inflicted to the head.
The head of the Dullahan seemed unharmed, though her container had a good sized crack up the side, spilling the green liquid out into the bag.
"Damn it," Izaya cursed under his breath.
Izaya heard a door open behind him. He quickly stuffed the glass, containing the head, back into the bag and turned around.
"What are you up to now, flea?" Shizuo accused. Every time he saw the informant, something bad was bound to happen.
Izaya laughed. "I don't know what you're talking about~"
"Don't play dumb with me!" Shizuo walked toward the smaller man. "You started this, didn't you?"
Izaya put on an innocent façade. "And what makes you so sure I started this? ~" He tucked the bag further behind him as he stood up.
Shizuo looked down at what Izaya was hiding. "What's that?" The blonde asked, suspicious of what the informant might be trying to do.
The brunette frowned. "Nothing of you're concern, I assure you~"
The ex bartender's eyebrow raised.
Shizuo's curiosity was beginning to annoy the raven. If the brute were to find out that he had Celty's head, even more hell was sure to break loose in Ikebukuro!
The informant picked up the bag and was about to make a run for it. He was going to leap onto the roof of the next building. But the brute grabbed his wrist before he left the ledge, leaving him almost about to fall from the tall building. They were high enough up that the fall would be in no doubt, fatal. The contact made Izaya flinch and look up at the taller man who had a hold of him.
"Let go!" Izaya shouted, trying to pull his wrist out of the brute's grip. Shizuo could very well throw Izaya off the building easily. The thought scared the brunette, but he wouldn't let the fear show; he kept the façade with a smirk.
"Tell me what's going on! NOW!" The ex-bartender demanded through gritted teeth.
The smaller man slung the bag over his shoulder carefully to free his hand. He reached in to his pocket to grab his knife.
Yet again, the protozoan had to be unpredictable. The blonde took a hold of Izaya's hand that had the knife as well, and easily confiscated the blade. The raven's hands were still being restricted from moving out of Shizuo's grip.
'Something feels wrong…' The Dullahan thought as she sat in the alley way again after leaving the fight to go chase down Izaya and Shizuo before they destroyed the town for the umpteenth time that week. 'Something is not right…' She could sense something familiar was close by, and something bad was mixed with that familiar feeling.
"Damn it, Shizu-chan, let go!" Izaya protested, trying to squirm out of Shizuo's grip. The raven was trying to pull his hands away from the blonde. This was the same ledge that he had trolled a few suicidal teens into jumping from; how ironic.
Shizuo noticed just then that they were on the edge. A smirk tugged at the corners of his lips as he began to loosen his grip on the informant. The smaller man tugged again, his hands slipped from the brute's, and he watched the raven fall. The façade he had a moment ago was gone. A look of pure terror showed in the raven's red eyes.
Celty looked up and was shocked to see Izaya, falling from the building she was parked behind. 'Izaya!' She quickly focused and made a net of the dark shadows that surrounded them. The net was similar to the one she used to save on of the suicidal girls after rescuing her from being kidnapped.
When the net was lowered the informant down safely, Celty quickly approached to make sure he was alright. To her surprise, Izaya was unconscious. The Dullahan shook him bit in an attempt to wake him; nothing.
