A/N: Here is chapter 9. It's a bit shorter, but I thought this was a good point to stop at in this chapter. Please enjoy reading this chapter!
Summary: Izaya has been hiding the fact that he is intersex for the people around him. One of the people he doesn't want to find out is Heiwajima Shizuo. So what happens when both get drunk at a party and end up at Izaya's apartment together?

"Damnit!" Izaya yelled in frustration. "Why can't I find what I need?" Namie looked up from her work to stare at her boss.
"What now?" She asked and Izaya turned his head to glare at her.
"I can't find the information I need!" The informant was clearly frustrated by this. "What to do now? I already told Shiki-san that I would be able to do this job." He knew that there was one thing he could do, but that meant going outside to get the information himself. Seems like he didn't have any choice.
Standing up and cursing under his breath he walked to where his jacket was and put it on. "I will be going out for a bit." He told his assistant, before grabbing his phone and sending a message to his source to meet him somewhere in Ikebukuro. He wanted to put his phone away, but decided that it might not be bad to send Shizuo a message too.
[Shizu-chan~ I will be in Ikebukuro, so when you are finished with work, shall we meet up?] He send the message and then left his apartment. He honestly told the blonde, just to be sure, because you never knew what could happen.

Walking through Ikebukuro, Izaya could feel the stares of the people around him. He knew it couldn't be because he was pregnant, since he wasn't showing that much yet, which was pretty normal for being almost fourteen weeks pregnant. It probably was because he hadn't shown his face much lately and hadn't been here at all for the past three weeks.
The only times he came in Ikebukuro lately was when he was together with Shizuo, but this time he was alone. This would make him more vulnerable, but there was no way he was going to let his humans know that.
He was almost at the place where he would meet his source, so he picked up his pace a bit more, he really didn't want to think about what the people around him were thinking, it would only make him more anxious.
"Izaya!" He suddenly heard and he stopped in his tracks to look at Simon. He had almost walked passed the russian, but it seemed like the man hadn't noticed this. "Come eat sushi." At that Izaya smiled apologetic to the russian.
"I'm sorry Simon, but I can't. I have work to do." He said and turned around to walk away, but stopped when the man suddenly started talking in Russian.
"Izaya, I haven't seen you lately, did something happen?" Izaya contemplated it for a moment, he couldn't tell the man the truth, but maybe half the truth would be good enough?
"I haven't been feeling well lately and Shinra said that I should stop eating sushi for now." It was the truth, but he didn't tell the real reason behind it.
"How can sushi not be good?" The russian countered and Izaya smiled at that.
"It's not good for me right now, but as soon as I can eat it again, you will be sure to see me." Waving his hand Izaya started walking away. "I have to go now!" He said stopping the Russian conversation.
This was the first time he had spoken to Simon since he found out he was pregnant and honestly he wondered what the man had to think right now. There weren't many options where someone wasn't able to eat sushi, but the russian might not be able to guess it, since he thought he was a man.
Shaking the thought away, he looked up to find he had arrived at the place where he was going to met his source. To his surprise the man was already there and Izaya walked over to him. "Do you have the information?" Izaya asked the man, whom nodded and took out an envelope.
"Here is the information. I'm surprised you came out to get it, since I heard you weren't doing any field work right now." The man said and Izaya narrowed his eyes at that.
Having checked the contents, he put the envelope in his pocket and took out the money before giving it to the man. "That has nothing to do with you." Izaya said and put his hand in the pocket where he held his switchblade. He had taken it with him in case he had to defend himself.
"No need to get like that, I'm just giving you information, but I'm also warning you." Izaya tilted his head in question when he heard this. "Some gangs have been trying to find and attack you, but since you haven't been to Ikebukuro alone lately they haven't gotten the chance, so be careful, now that you're alone this time." Izaya snorted at that.
"You don't need to worry, I can defend myself perfectly fine." Even though he said that he couldn't stop his stomach from churning a bit out of nervousness. "Thanks for the information, I will be going back now." He said and walked out of the alley and into the street. There he grabbed his phone to check for any messages from the blonde and noticed there was one.
[I just finished work. Where are you now, so that we can meet up.] Izaya started smiling at the message before he caught himself and forced the smile away. He started writing a reply quickly.
[You can follow my scent right~? But I'm at-] Suddenly Izaya got grabbed by the arm and was taken into an alley, he pushed the send button just before he lost grip on his phone and hoped that the message would at least reach the blonde. He tried to get his arm free, but the grip on it only tightened, before he was pushed hard into a wall. A small cry of pain left his lips when his head hit the wall and he glared to the people who were now surrounding him.
It was probably one of the gangs his source had been talking about. "Can't believe we caught you so easily, Orihara Izaya." The man who was holding him to the wall said and Izaya glared at him before spitting in his face.
"You were just lucky." He knew he shouldn't aggravate the people before him, but there was no way he was going down without a fight. A hand left his left wrist and was pulled back before it landed a punch right in the informants face. Izaya closed his eyes when he felt the impact and shot his now free hand into his pocket, before taking out his switchblade.
Ignoring the pain in his face, he flipped the blade open and slashed at the face of the man in front of him. The knife made contact with the man's cheek, before he sprang back and released Izaya completely.
Now free, Izaya started looking around to see if there was anyway he could escape. He knew he had to get away as fast as possible, since there was no way he could win this fight in his current condition. He didn't even know if he could run away properly, let alone fight eight men. They really knew not to go easy on him.
One of the men came at him and Izaya dodged, before cutting the man across the chest, he was able to do this with another one, before he stumbled and fell to the ground. He couldn't believe he had just tripped over nothing! He tried to get up fast, but someone was already on top of him holding him to the ground. Izaya did the only thing he could think of in that moment and lashed out with the knife, which was still in his hand, but his wrist got grabbed painfully and was twisted behind his back. His arm felt like it was going to break any moment and a cry of pain escaped his lips.
"Seems like there is no one to help you." He heard the man above him say and the man must definitely be grinning. Izaya tried to lift his body from the ground, since it was getting uncomfortable to lie on his stomach, but that action only granted him more pain in his arm. This time he clenched his teeth and didn't let any sound escape.
"You sure got quiet, normally you would be talking our ears of, but it seems like this time you're keeping quiet." The sneer in the man's voice made Izaya want to punch him in the face, which he wasn't able to do right now. Where the hell was Shizu-chan when he needed him?
Suddenly his hair was grabbed and his head got slammed into the ground, Izaya could feel himself getting dizzy and black spots started to appear in his vision when his head was once again slammed into the ground. This time he started groaning, since a headache was starting to form and the throbbing didn't seem to decrease any, instead it just seemed to increase.
Suddenly he felt the weight on him be lifted of him and Izaya immediately turned on his side. In his dazed state, he could still think that it wasn't good for the baby to lay on his stomach.
His vision was only getting darker with the second and he didn't even notice when he got carefully lifted off the ground. The only thing his mind could register was a familiar warmth, before he fell completely unconscious.
