"Damn you, Izayaaaaaaaaa..." was the first thing Shizuka said when she buried her head in one of the sofa cushions. Kasuka sat at the other end of the couch, sighing.
Deciding that there was nothing better to do, the blonde decided to log in to the chatroom again.

Tanaka Taro: Oh! Hi!
Okashi: Are you the only one online?
Tanaka Taro: Sadly, yes
Okashi: lol
Tanaka Taro: Btw, did you hear that Heiwajima-san turned into a girl? He really isn't on vacation, actually!
Shizuka's eyes widened at the sentence. Ah crap! So almost the entire of Ikebukuro knew that she was actually Shizuo-turned-female! Ah... Maybe she should not have lost her temper...
Tanaka Taro: Ano... Hey, are you alright?
Okashi: Eh? Yeah, I'm perfectly fine! Why?
Tanaka Taro: You seemed to be spacing out...
Okashi: Gomenasai
Kanra has signed on to chat
Kanra: HI EVERYONE~~~ IT'S KANRA-CHAN~~
Tanaka Taro: Hey
Okashi: Konnichiwa...
Kanra: Does anyone wonder how Shizuo got turned into a girl?
Tanaka Taro: Eh? No...
Shizuka frowned as she continued chatting with her online friends. She wondered why Kanra was so much like the stupid "Flea".
Okashi: I heard that his friend turned him into one.
Tanaka Taro: Who?
Okashi: Some dumb underground doctor called Shinra
Kanra: You seemed to know a lot about Shizuka- No, Shizuo~~~~
Tanaka Taro: o_o
Upon reading Kanra's response, Shizuka swore. Ah well, might as well just tell them. Even if Kanra seemed stupid, at least Tanaka Taro seemed perfectly fine.
Okashi: Ah... Then can I tell you something?
Kanra: YOU ARE SHIZUKA-CHAN~~~?
Tanaka Taro: Eh?
Okashi: WHA-?
Shizuka was honestly not expecting that. How did Kanra actually guess? Unless...
Okashi: ...IZAYA!
Kanra: Oh noes! ;n;
Tanaka Taro: Oh crap! Heiwajima-san and Orihara-san. Online? Oh no...
Okashi: QKHDKOSNWKQBEOA! THANKS TO YOU, NOW EVERYONE KNOWS!
Kanra: Ne~ Calm down, Shizu-chan~
Tanaka Taro: Ah...? Should I log off?
Okashi: GO TUH HELL FLEA!
Kanra: No thank you~!
Tanaka Taro: Ah... Okashi-san! Calm down
Okashi: CALM DOWN? HOW TO FREAK AM I SUPPOSED TO FREAKING CALM DOWN?
Kanra: Mikado-kun, think~~~!
Tanaka Taro: ! Orihara-san!
Kanra: Oopsies~~~
Okashi: ****
Kanra: "****"?
Tanaka Taro: Okashi-san, no vulgarities please
Kanra: TROLOLOL~ IT'S A CENSOR!
Shizuka growled. Even online, Izaya was still annoying. And the fact that vulgarities were censored made her all the more pissed.
Okashi: FUDGE OFF, IZAYA!
Kanra: Fudge?
Tanaka Taro: ...Fudge?
Okashi: ptdhpzrig
Tanaka Taro: o_o
Shizuka threw the keyboard at the wall; She was too pissed off. She decided that she needed to take a break and had to cool off, thus she went to take a shower, forgetting to log off. Kasuka noticed this and went to log off for his sister, but instead, he started reading her messages and ended up talking to the two who were still online.
Kanra: HELLOOOOO~? Shizu-chaaaan?
Tanaka Taro: H-Heiwajima-san?
Okashi: Konnichiwa
Kanra: ?
Tanaka Taro: Eh?
Okashi: This is not Aneki, this is Kasuka
Kanra: KYAAAA~ KASUKA~
Okashi: Stop that
Tanaka Taro: Yes, it sounds gay
Kanra: SO MEAN ;n;
Okashi: Izaya-san, I understand that you hate my bro- Sister, but I swear, if you EVER hurt her, I will kill you
Tanaka Taro: E-E-Eh?
Kanra: Ne~ Kasuka's being so OOC now, ne?
Kasuka frowned. Now he understood why Shizuka hated the informant. But really, why did he just show his protective side to others? Online!
Okashi: Just don't hurt her

Celty turned off the computer before running off to find Shinra. When she found him, she grabbed her PDA and typed, [Shinra! The slasher is back!]
"Eh? But didn't Anri-chan end the entire incident?" the underground doctor asked, tilting his head in confusion.
[Y-Yes! But I think there is a new slasher! And he or she is after Shizuka!] she replied, typing ten times faster than ever.
"What?" Shinra exclaimed, shocked, before he continued, "You'd better go tell hi- I mean, her!" Celty nodded before she ran out of the door, not bothering about closing it, and drove off on her bike as fast as it could go.
Meanwhile, Mikado had just left his house and, although he did not know where Shizuka lived, he was still going to try and find her.
"Celty-san!" the high school boy exclaimed when he saw his headless friend. Celty took one look at Mikado before she gestured for him to get on the motorbike. Nodding, Mikado ran and sat behind the dullahan, wrapping his arms around her waist. After Mikado ensured he was comfortable and that he would not fall off the bike, Celty sped off again.
At another part of Ikebukuro, Masaomi was strolling around the streets. He honestly did not care about what just happened online. It was not as if it was related to him.
"Oh? Kadota!" the Yellow Scarves leader waved when he noticed the ex-Blue Squares member and his friends.
Erika was still going on about genderbend fanfictions and Walker was desperately trying to make her keep quiet as the beanie-wearing man's face was going redder and redder every second. Saburo was in the van, listening to Ruri Hijiribe's songs.
"H-Hey, Kida..." Kadota stuttered, having problems trying to find his voice after listening to what his female friend said. The brown-haired man pulled his beanie down lower in an attempt to hide his already tomato-red face.
Upon remembering that Kadota and Shizuka were high school friends, except that Shizuka was still a male then, Masaomi decided that it was right to tell him about what had happened online, "Ah, Kadota. I think the slasher is back." That sentence made the entire gang grow silent and Kadota's face was back to its original colour. Saburo had turned off his music to hear what they would say next.
"What? The slasher...?" was his response.
"Yeah! And I think I should notify you about this since you are Shizuka's friend: The slasher is after Shizuka," Masaomi stated. Now the entire crew had a shocked expression on their face. Even Erika was shocked. And she was not even squealing about how cool that was.
"Let's go!" Kadota exclaimed suddenly. The man went into the van while Saburo started the engine. Walker and Erika grabbed Masaomi, despite his protests, and entered the van before Saburo sped off.
Meanwhile, Celty and Mikado were about eleven kilometres away from Shizuka's house when they met Anri.
"Huh? S-Shizuka-chan is the target of the new slasher...?" Anri asked to confirm what she had just heard. Mikado nodded seriously, making Anri gasp.
[Do you know anything about this?] Celty typed.
"N-No! I swear!" the user of Saika and mother of all of Saika's children said.
[Either way, I think the new slasher probably wants Shizuka for her strength only, just like before.] Celty typed again.
"I-I'm coming along! I think I can put a stop to this if I know who the real slasher is! I can help! After all, I owe Shizuka-chan! Even if she doesn't remember who I am..." Mikado's crush uttered.
Nodding once again, Celty gestured for her female friend to get on the motorbike. Mikado blushed a deep crimson red when Anri wrapped her arms around him. Once again, Celty zoomed off on her bike.
Meanwhile, Shizuka was lying on her bed, still pissed off at Izaya. Kasuka knocked and entered the room, passing his sister a bottle of milk which the blonde girl snatched and gulped down.
Deciding to start a conversation to try and calm his sister down, Kasuka said, "...I thought you didn't like that outfit..."
Shizuka immediately looked down to look at her outfit and said, "Kasuka, I don't recall ever saying I hated any of the outfits..."
"Well, you did not wear it as often as that Megurine Luka one so I thought you didn't like it..." the younger of the two replied.
"H-Hey! I like Luka more than Kaito!" Shizuka pouted, making Kasuka smirk at how childish she acted.
Shizuka was wearing a turtle-neck shirt with extremely long sleeves that cover her hands. The vocaloid called Kaito was on the front of her shirt, holding an ice-cream. The girl was also wearing a short skirt that high school girls liked to wear, but she was wearing tights under it. Sometimes, she wondered if her younger brother was secretly a pervert.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Kasuka slowly got up and left the room, leaving Shizuka behind. The girl was going to count how many vocaloid outfits she had when she suddenly heard a yell from outside. The first thing that came to her mind was: Kasuka. Immediately, she sped out of the room and headed down to the door. The first thing she saw was her younger brother lying unconscious on the carpet, bleeding from the head, and a man, who seemed to be about thirty to forty, standing at the door. He was holding a blunt object in his left hand and it was covered in blood. In his right hand was a knife. The child of Saika, no doubt.
According to what Shizuka had heard from Celty, one would only become one of Saika's "babies" if they were to be stabbed by Saika herself or her children's knives, swords, and vice versa. But from the looks of it, Kasuka was only hit by the blunt object and not the knife, so Shizuka felt slightly relieved.
"W-Who the heck are you?" Shizuka exclaimed.
"Shizuka Heiwajima, I need to cut you, because I love you and I need your strength," the stranger said in a very creepy tone. Shizuka noted that what the man said was quite similar to what the other Saika children said to her during the previous slasher incident. Like before, the statement did not make any sense.
"What the hell? That doesn't make any freaking sense! But either way, you'll pay for hurting my little brother!" Shizuka roared before she bravely tossed the sofa at the stranger, quickly carrying her unconscious brother and running out of the house.
[Shizuka!] was what was typed on to Celty's PDA when she saw her friend running out of her house with the actor in her hands. Shizuka panted before she uttered "Slasher" at her friend. She then ran off, leaving the three to handle and try to stop the seemingly insane man. After all, they managed to stop the other slasher last time.
The slasher ran out of the Heiwajima residence. Immediately, Anri pulled out her katana and dashed in front of the man. She swung her katana but unfortunately, the man dodged it, whacked her with the blunt object, and ran off. Mikado immediately ran to help Anri and heaved a sigh of relief to find out that she was just knocked out. Celty chased the slasher with her motorbike but damn! The man could run fast.
Shizuka's legs grew tired after running for what seemed like hours when, in fact, it was just a few minutes. But for her brother's sake, she had to go to Shinra's apartment. With that, she continued running, ignoring the fact that her lungs were practically begging her to stop and breathe.
"Cut cut cut cut cut! Love love love love! Heiwajima...! Shizukaaaaaa...!" came the creepy voice which sent chills down Shizuka's spine. Was it her, or did he sound like a rapist or something?
"Freaking hell...!" Shizuka slowly slowed down even though she tried not to. She panted heavily. She usually had a lot more stamina than this! So why did she suddenly feel so tired? Or was Kasuka a lot more heavier than she thought? Oh wait, it was probably bacause she was already tired from chasing Izaya around Ikebukuro earlier on.
"Found you," was the two simple words that made Shizuka's eyes widened. Damn it! He had already caught up?
"Cut cut cut cut," the stranger chanted, spinning his knife in his hand. Too tired to even move, Shizuka collapsed on the ground, too exhausted to even care what would happen next.
She had expected to feel a sharp object burying itself deep into her skin but it never came. Instead, she heard someone yell in pain and someone shouting swears angrily.
"You dick!" was what the familiar voice exclaimed.
"Kadota! What the hell? I have never heard you call someone that before!" came the leader of the Yellow Scarves voice.
"He tried to hurt my friend!" came the first voice.
"Ka...Do...Ta...?" was all the blonde girl uttered. Her eyes were closed, but she was still awake.
"Shizuka!" four voices exclaimed at the same time. There was a loud "Vroom" and a "Screech" before the blonde heard a girl exclaim her name, followed by a boy shouting "Heiwajima-san!". Damn, this was the first time Shizuka pushed herself too hard. If Izaya was not there earlier that day, the bodyguard would not be feeling so tired. So sleepy... So... Exhausted... The last thing Shizuka knew was that she felt herself being carried off and the sound of engines could be heard.
A/N: Okay, I know normally Shizu-chan would not faint so easily, but c'mon! Shizuka chased Izaya for a long time, hit Shinra, went home and threw a fit 'cuz of the chatroom, and ended up getting chased by a slasher! So c'mon! For the sake of this story, lighten up, please?
