Chapter 10 - Is it too late?
BYR:
OMG...that was embarrassing...i updated the wrong story...that was something else! Another idea! Forget about it XD im such an idiot...
First off, I died laughing reading your reviews last chapter. Most of them went like this: "Crazy b*tch!, She needs to die!, I want her to die!, She needs help, Ohh no Izaya is gonna die!, Leave Shizuo alone crazy b*tch! Creepy chapter... What's wrong with her, ect. You get the idea. We all hate Akane with a burning passion and I'm glad you do! That was the whole point of her existence, as a center point for your anger and hate! Sweet! I'm doing my job right for once!
Anywho, I just finished taking my midterms and I pray I did good... So as a celebration I worked on this soooo, ON TO THE NEXT CHAPTER! XD
"Give him to me."
"No."
"Give...him...to me."
"No."
"Dammit Shizuo just hand him over!"
"You'll have to kill me first if you want him."
"Aww Shizuo~ I can't kill you~ I love you~ now let the demon go and we can be on our merry way~"
"Akane, I said no."
Thing were not going well for the blonde. Akane was on a psycho streak as the wide smile on her face and the wild look in her eyes gave off a demented aura. The sharp stick of ice in her hand glistened as she staggered forward closer to Shizuo. Izaya was still unconscious as the blood still dripped slowly from his open hand wounds. Hardly any body heat was exerting from the brunet as the larger male held onto him. (Shit! I need to get him out of here! He's gonna die freezing to death!)
"Akane! I need to get Izaya-"
"No! No! Leave him here, and we'll go back. He's. Not. Wanted."
"That's not true."
"Then who?! Who would want a pathetic person like him?! Who would ever love such a low life that doesn't care about anyone but himself?!"
The fact of the matter was, not many people 'liked' Izaya per say. Many rumors floated around school over the horrid things he did, the slander he spread, the trouble he caused for everyone around him. Though most of them were rumors, they were pretty much close to the truth. He wasn't a saint, but then again, no one really is. He made mistakes and is trying to mend them. Doesn't he deserve a second chance?
"It's true... Not many people care about Izaya..."
"See! So why don't you-"
"But... I am one of those people who do..."
"Wha...what...?"
"I care about Izaya. And so do his sisters, and Kyohei and Shinra too... He may not have the most friends in the world, but at least he has someone who cares... Someone who's willing to risk their life for him... That's why I can't leave him. Even if I wasn't going out with him, I don't think I would have the strength to leave him to die. So Akane, please... Let's go ba-"
"SHUT UP! Just shut up!"
The deranged girl had collapsed to the floor, her hands covering her ears, wanting to shut out all the lies she was hearing. She couldn't stand it, couldn't stand how much Shizuo wanted to save the person she hated the most. So the only conclusion that made sense was to kill him. With Izaya out of the way, she would finally have Shizuo to herself. (I have to kill him…)
Taking advantage of the distracted girl, the blonde kicked the icicle out of her hand, making it shatter against the wall.
"Shizuo!"
Setting the brunet down, he grabbed the girl by her coat hood and threw her through the hole made before. After she was through, he wrapped the bloody hands of Izaya's around his shoulders and hoisted up and out the hole. Harsh winds knocked him down when he got out and the heavy snow piled on him as he pulled Akane up to her feet.
"Let's go."
Shell shocked at what was happening, the blonde had to forcefully pull her along as they walked through the feet of snow.
"Sh-Shizuo!"
"Just shut up. I'm saving all our asses right now ok?!"
She immediately shut her mouth as she walked hand in hand with the blonde through the blizzard. A gleaming light ahead of them invited the warm sensation of salvation as a snow car came blazing towards them.
"Hey! Shizuo!"
"Kyohei! Over here!"
Coming to a slow stop, Shinra and Kadota hopped out the car and took the unconscious male off the blonde's back.
"How'd you guys get this?!"
"We kinda sorta... stole it...?"
"You did what!?"
"It was Kyohei's idea!"
"Just get in the car and I'll explain later!"
Pushing everyone into the heat blasting vehicle, Kyohei took driver seat and made a u-turn for home. Akane as sitting in between Shizuo the window as she glanced over to the brunet. He was resting his head on the blonde's shoulders, his face pale and purple shadows under his eyes. (Is he going to die? Did I...unintentionally kill Izaya...? Was this all my fault?)
A swarm of bodies exploded out the front doors as the stolen snow car pulled up front. EMT's came out with a stretcher and placed the light weight male on it, rushing him into the ambulance. Freaking out, the blonde grabbed onto one of the male nurses by the shoulders.
"Wait-"
"Sir we need you to stay back."
"But-!"
"Shizuo."
Kyohei came up to the male and placed a hand on his shoulder, shaking his head.
"Let them take care of him."
Not wanting to let Izaya go, but knew it was for the best, the blonde complied and let the medical man go. Escorted in by his friends, he was soon buried in a field of humans as they bombarded him with questions. But he just kept his eyes on the gurney that was wheeling Izaya way and disappeared behind doors of the car and drove away.
"Hey! Give him some space!"
"It's ok Kyohei."
"Come on man; let's get you into warmer clothes. You can crash in our room tonight."
"Thanks."
Leading Shizuo up the stairs and back to his room, he grabbed some things before heading back out into the hall and down to his friend's room. Flashes of cameras and news people were surrounding him as he just kept his stare to the floor and ignored them. Arriving at Shinra's and Kyohei's assigned room, he knocked and was soon rushed in by his friends.
"Excuse me sir, but what exactly happened out there?!"
"How did the avalanche happen?!"
"Why were you out there in the blizzard?"
"Are you in any way affiliated with the other boy?!"
Shinra, about to shut the door, paused before he turned around and faced the new casts. With an innocent smile, he said-
"Fuck off~"
-before shutting and locking the doors on them.
"No need to be rude."
"Hey! They were all over Shizuo here after he just survived something tragic! They didn't even do anything to help him in the first place and now they want a cover story over it! No! I'm not gonna-"
"Shinra...calm down. It's ok..."
"Shizu- it's ok?! How can you say that?! Izaya ran out there to save your life and all you can say is 'it's ok'?!"
"Dude! Chill-"
"No! You shut up Kyohei!"
Kadota was shocked; he was just told to shut up by the one person who was as peaceful minded as him. That was totally unexpected.
"Listen to me Shizuo! I don't know what happened out there, but at least talk to us! We're your friends! We care about you and Izaya!"
"She tried to..."
"What?"
"SHE TRIED TO KILL HIM! AKANE! SHE TRIED TO...she tried to kill Izaya...because of me..."
Eerie silence filled the room as the blonde sat on the couch distraught, hiding his face in his fists. Shinra and Kyohei stood where they were, surprised at what Shizuo had just said. The glasses wearing male started to feel a bit guilty for saying what he had and moved over to his friend.
"Hey... I'm sorry. I...didn't know..."
"What am I suppose to do?! I can't... I can't be close to him... He just ends up getting hurt by me."
"Shizuo, you know that's not-"
"Not what Kyohei?! True?! Look what happened today! What happened weeks ago, months ago! I wanted to kill him! I really did want to kill him!"
"So why don't you now?"
"Because-! I don't know! I don't know anymore!"
"Look man, maybe you should-"
"Screw it! I'm tired of this!"
Shizuo abruptly stood up from the couch and made a b-line towards the door. Shinra followed suit after him, trying to calm him down.
"Shizuo, wai-"
The door slammed on his face, and the two friends were left alone in the heavy aired room.
"That could've gone better..."
"Just let him be. He's just tired and all worked up with Izaya being hurt and all. Give him space and he'll be fine."
"I sure hope you're right Kyohei..."
"Dammit!"
A pillow went flying across the room and slammed against the wall on the opposite side of the room as the blonde pulled at his hair. Clothes and pillows were scattered all around the room, making it look almost as if a tornado had passed through the place. The frustrated male was pacing in circles, carving a scar on the carpeted floor as he continued this for almost an hour. Finally, he gave up, grabbed his sweater, and headed out the door.
The halls were empty, not a single form of life present as he sped walked down the halls and to the main lobby. Pushing through the front doors, he was met with the familiar deathly winds once again. Ignoring them, he walked in the snow and across to the other side of the mountain resort. There, was a hospital where Izaya was supposively taken to. Entering the medical premises, he went up to the front desk and asked the woman that was sitting there where Izaya Orihara was.
"Mr. Orihara, let me check... Ahh! Here we are. He just got out of the OR and is in room 638. Sixth floor to your left."
"Thank you."
Heading to the elevator, he pushed the up button and waited. The doors slid open as he let a couple of pedestrians and doctors out before entering alone. Pressing the 6, he leaned up against the back wall as he listened to the low hums of the machine ascending. A loud ding notified him that he'd reacted his destination and he stepped out.
Taking a left, he went down the brightly lit hall in search for the number 638. Some other patients were in the halls, a couple in wheel chairs, and others just walking around with nurses or hospital friends. It was a place where he thought he'd seen it all, since he himself had visited the hospital multiple times in his childhood.
"Excuse me."
"Huh?"
An old woman had called out to him as he stopped in the middle of the hall. She was a cute old lady, about 60-65 years old, nothing really noticeably wrong with her that he could see.
"Can you help me?"
"Sure?
"I was wondering if you can see this young man. He was going on and on about saving someone important to him in his room. I felt bad for him so I had a little chat with him. He's such a lively boy. Can you go see him for me? I'm an old women and can't stay up past midnight anymore Hahahaha!"
"Of course ma'am. By any chance, was this guy named Izaya?"
"Why yes!"
"I see. Thank you."
The kind old woman smiled at him before she shuffled back to her room. Continuing on his search, he finally spotted the numbers 638 on the metal board next to the door and entered the room.
The place was cold, white, almost dead. The only sounds made were of the machines beeping and the air conditioning running. As he stepped further into the room, the sound of someone's voice startled him.
"Fiyumi...I told you, I don't want to talk anymore... You can go back to your room."
"Ohh, so you want me to leave?"
The brunet's eyes shot open when he heard Shizuo's voice as he craned his neck up. The blonde was standing right on the side of his bed, pulling a chair up and took a seat.
"Shizu-chan?!"
"Hey. So this Fiyumi, she an old lady?"
"Yeah...how did you-"
"She stopped me in the hall, said to come talk to you."
"Ohh...yeah... She's very nice. Came to see me when they put me in here just about an hour ago. A good listener."
"Yeah..."
"So, what brings you here?"
"What do you mean?! You're hurt!"
"Well...visiting hours are over..."
"Ehh?!"
"Ahhh jeez Shizu-chan... Don't you know anything?"
"Sorry..."
"Hmp, well either way, I'm glad you're here."
"So...is anything wrong?"
"Mmm, no. The doctors said I was lucky that my hands didn't have frostbite. If I was out there any longer, I wouldn't have any fingers! Hahahaha!"
"So...you are ok?"
"As for the few scars and bruises, yep!"
"That's good..."
The conversation stopped for a minute as they just sat there, taking in everything that happened today. Izaya was the one who finally broke the silence.
"And I had everything all planned out today..."
"Huh?"
"No, it's nothing. Doesn't matter anymore..."
"No tell me. What is it?"
"I don't know, is it too late? What time is it?"
Shizuo opened up his phone and read the time.
"It's 11:58."
"Ohh, well then..."
Leaning over to the blonde, the brunet gave him a light kiss, which soon turned deeper. Even though they were out in the cold for hours, their kisses were warm and heart lifting. Parting away, Izaya smiled as he patted the larger male's head.
"Happy One Month Shizu-chan~"
"One month? Today...was our one month?!"
"I knew you wouldn't remember hahaha! Typical of a man."
"Well I would think one year would be more significant..."
"One year?! My my Shizu-chan! Do you expect me to stay that long with you?"
"...if...you want to..."
Signing, the light weight make pressed his head against the blonde's and whispered-
"As long as you want me, I'll stay."
"Really?"
"Really."
And so the night switched to the next day as Shizuo stayed by Izaya's side for the night, keeping him warm and safe from any harm. But as the couples were sleeping, another storm was beginning to brew just on the other side of the lodge.
"You bitch!"
A loud smack was heard on the room as Ryo fell to the floor, one of her hands covering the side of her red cheek. Akane was furious, he eyes blazing with anger as she took a step closer to the fallen girl and grabbed her hair.
"How dare you defy me?! You let that THING free and ruined everything! Shizuo would've been mine by now if you had just kept your mind on the plan!"
Tossing her back on the floor, she stormed out the room and slammed the door to her bedroom. Kuroko and Yumi just stood aside, not knowing what to say.
Yumi: "R-Ryo..."
Ryo: "Don't. I'm tired of this. Sorry, but I'm leaving."
Yumi: "But where are you going?!"
Ryo: "Anywhere is better than here. I rather die in that blizzard than see her ugly face. Later."
Walking out, one member of Akane's little team had disappeared and was determined to never return.
Yumi: "But...Ryo..."
Kuroko: "Well, that's one. Let's see how long I'll last."
Yumi: "You plan to leave too?!"
Kuroko: "You're all too boring."
Yumi: "Wh-what?! Boring?!"
Rushing down the halls of the lodge, Ryo was trying her best not to let the tears overcome her. But about halfway down the hall, she just broke down, falling to her knees and crying in her hands. A door opened and out walked someone she wasn't expecting.
"Ryo?"
Looking up, the girl quickly wiped any tears away before saying-
"Y-Yasuki?"
"Ryo…what happened? Why are you crying?"
The teary eye girl stood up, rubbing her check from the tears that stained her face. The last person she wanted to see was one of the Shizaya fan club members who hated anyone affiliated with Akane.
"It's nothing… I just broke away from Akane's group and she slapped me for freeing Izaya; nothing big."
"You're the one who freed Izaya?!"
"Yeah…"
"Wow…that must've taken a lot of guts."
"I guess… Who cares."
"Well I do! That's really amazing how you stood up for yourself and against Akane too!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"Hey Yasuki! What are you doing out there? We're having hot cocoa and cookies and the movie is about to start!"
The fan girl turned her head back inside the door to call back to her friends inside the room.
"Commin' Mimi!"
"I guess I should leave you then…"
"Hey Ryo wait! Why don't you join us?!"
"No… I shouldn't…"
"No really! Come on! Since you're not really our enemy anymore, you should join us!"
"I don't know…"
"Come on!"
Yasuki reached out to Ryo and grabbed her hand, pulling her inside the room. As she led the former enemy further inside, the rest of the girls froze in place when they saw her standing there in their presence.
"Girls! Welcome the newest member of the club! Ryo totally ditched Akane and she was the one who helped Izaya escape!"
Ryo stood there, feeling very out of place as she stared at the girls who had dumbfounded looks on their faces. She was about to leave when suddenly-
"Oh my god! That. Is. Awesome!"
"Ryo! I never knew you had it in ya!"
"Welcome to the club girl!"
She was surprised; they actually accepted her. After all she did, they still wanted to be her friend.
"Well come and sit! The movie is gonna start!"
Taking a seat next to Yasuki, Ryo couldn't help but smile as she shared the night with her new friends. But one question still lingered her mind.
"So…what do you guys actually do in the Shizaya fan club?"
All the girls turned to her with evil smirks on their faces. Needless to say, she was about to get warped into a world of yaoi…
