Chapter 9: Shinra and Izaya (Part III)

A/N: Guys, I am sooooooo sorry for the long delay! The last few weeks have been really hectic for me between exams, graduation, and getting prepared for college. I'm out of school now, so hopefully I can start updating more often. There was also the fact that this chapter was the hardest one I had to write so far. It's extremely graphic and full of angst about what Shinra did to Izaya, so please proceed with caution. Otherwise, onto the final part of Shinra and Izaya!

Shizuo knocked firmly on the door to Shinra's apartment, waiting impatiently for the doctor to answer the door. It meekly opened a few moments later, his friend half hidden behind it. "C-Come on in Shizuo." he said quietly, resigned to the fact that he would have to explain himself to the enforcer.

The Heiwajima walked past him, going to the living room with his host following, before he stopped to turn and look intently at the male. "Shinra...just what the hell was that between you and Izaya earlier? Why did he start flipping out when he saw you?" he asked, brown eyes digging into the other's.

The smaller man sighed, motioning for the blond to sit down. He sat down on the chair opposite him, spinning it so that he was sitting backwards and facing his guest. Kishitani let a heavy sigh, a dark look gathering in his eyes.

"Look Shizuo, I've had to do some pretty horrible things in the past. I've done a lot of things I'm not particularly proud of, but you have to understand, it was all because I had to. I did what I did in order to protect the love of my life, even if it meant betraying and destroying my friend." he told the other, who stared at him in confusion and suspicion.

"What the fuck are you talking about? What does Celty have to do with this and why did saving her require you to "destroy" someone? How does this relate to Izaya?" he questioned, getting annoyed as the brunet's obscure explanation gave him nothing but more questions. Shinra bit his lip, staring at the floor as he struggled with himself.

"Shinra." Shizuo said, voice firm and hard. "What did you do to Izaya for Celty?" The younger man swallowed before speaking.

"I-I...I helped break him." he replied, voice small and faint.

Flashback

Shinra bit his lip as he paced back and forth, anxiety running through him. "Where is she? She was given a simple job by Izaya, which would normally have been over and done with by now. What's taking so long?" the doctor asked himself, becoming more and more concerned as time went on without his fiance returning.

Just as he was thinking about calling Izaya to see if he knew what the hold up was, his cellphone began to ring. He snatched it up, grinning when he noticed it was his lover's number. He flicked the device open. "Hey Celty, are you on your way home?" he asked happily, relief coloring his tone. All joy drained out of him when he heard a raspy voice respond in the dullahan's instead.

"Afraid not, mate. See, your li'l girlfriend is a bit... tied up at the moment. She won't be getting home for awhile...or maybe ever." it said, a malicious tone to it. Shinra felt fear start to wash over him.

"What...What did you do to her?" he asked, voice trembling slightly. His question was met with a loud guffaw.

"Oh, a li'l bit of this and a li'l bit of that. She fought at first, but once we showed her that we had her head, she submitted and stopped using those freaky powers of hers. Since then, we've been having quite a bit of fun with her. She's got a nice set of lips on 'er." he said, grinning as he let the implication sink in.

The glasses-wearer felt the room spin around him as he realized what they had done. "Y-You...YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" he screamed, fury and horror flooding his veins. Yellow Teeth laughed harder.

"Ahahaha! Guess it's true what they say about you, Doc. You catch on pretty quickly! Yeah, we've violated your pretty li'l pet, over and over again. Hearing her scream was the best part. Sounded just like this." When he stopped, a loud screech of pain was heard, followed by heaving sobs. The Kishitani fell to his knees, stunned by the tortured yells of his beloved.

His bangs covered his eyes as tears flowed down his face. "...I'll fucking kill you…" he said, voice cold and merciless. Crooked Teeth smirked.

"I'd like to see you try. Tell ya what. Come down to the abandoned warehouse in West Ikebukuro, and maybe you can get ya girly back." he snickered. The brunet scrambled to his feet, grabbing his jacket as the other spoke.

"I'll be there." he answered, even as he heard Celty scream in the background, begging him not to come.

"Shinra! NO! Don't come! I'll be f-" She was cut off by another cry of agony, going silent. Shinra clenched his fists in fury.

"Better hurry. She doesn't have much time left. Time's ticking, Doc." Crooked Teeth said before ending the call. The brunet felt despair overwhelm him, alongside passionate wrath. He shoved his phone into his pocket before slamming a fist against the wall.

"Dammit! Why did it have to be her?! I should never have let her take this assignment. I can't let her work with Izaya anymore, not after...not after this." he said quietly to himself, removing his hand from the wall and walking towards the door, slamming it shut behind him.

Shinra found himself at the specified location a little while later, having sped as fast as he could in order to get to Celty. He looked around and walked over to a partially opened garage-like door. He ducked his head under the entrance and entered the darkened space.

A familiar laugh met him and he turned to see Crooked Teeth standing a few feet away. A low growl escaped the doctor, who charged the man, grabbing his collar and leaning in close. "Where the fuck is she, you son of a bitch? Where's CELTY?!" he yelled, body boiling over with rage.

His tormentor grinned at him. "You mean her?" he said, gesturing over to a wall. Shinra followed the man's hand and almost screamed in revulsion at what he saw. The dullahan was chained to the wall, neck drooping forward as the black mist that was in place of her head waved sluggishly back and forth. Her pale skin was covered in various bruises, cuts, and liquids, some of which made the Kishitani's stomach turn as he thought about what they might be.

The stunned medical professional released his hold on the gangster in front of him, all of his attention focused on his soulmate. "C-Celty?" he asked quietly. The woman's body twitched in response to his voice.

"Sh-Sh-Shinra. I thought I t-told you not to c-come." she said, voice raspy and weak from what she had done through. The brunet couldn't help but run over to her, wrapping his arms tightly around her. He could feel the shivering that encased her frame and only became angrier.

"I wasn't just going to leave you here with them." he spit out, glaring viciously at Crooked Tooth. "You're the woman I love. Besides, I need to see if Izaya had anything to do with this." At the sound of the informant's name, a wracking sob escaped the transporter.

The reaction made Shinra growl. "So he did have something to do with this. That fucking bastard! I knew he enjoyed breaking people, but to involve you in it?! I'll slaughter him!" he threatened, feeling his vision turn red at the thought of the informant.

He was surprised as Celty suddenly clutched him tight, looking up at him. "NO! You can't! This...This wasn't his fault. Izaya, he...oh god...he's been through even worse than me." she said, shuddering intensely. The younger of the two felt himself rife with confusion.

"Worse than you? Celty, what are you talking about? Isn't Izaya the one behind all this?" he questioned. The dullahan waved the smoke back and forth to say 'no'.

"Shinra, that message from Izaya was a fake. He's been held here for the last four months. They've done unspeakable things to him. They hurt me too, but not as bad as him. Th-They're monsters." the spirit replied, voice growing quieter from strain and emotion.

The Kishitani took some time to process that information. Izaya had been captured and tortured for that long? Is that why he hadn't heard from the man up until the message he had thought had come from him? The idea made Shinra want to retch. He couldn't believe his best friend had been put through this hell.

He found himself turning towards Crooked Teeth, who had been quietly observing up until this point. "...Why did you bring us here…?" he asked, body tensing as he awaited a response.

His tormentor laughed. "It's simple. Like ya girly said, we've been have a bit fun with our pet Iza-chan. He's a feisty one, I've got to admit, and he's able to hold himself well enough against what we do. Thing is, we can see that the shell is cracking. All we need to do is push 'im over the edge and that's where you come in." he said, smirking grotesquely.

"Ya see, this is how it's going to go down. You're going to rape that li'l smug piece of shit." he said as he slowly walked towards the doctor. The male opened his mouth to relay his disgust and refusal, but he was silenced by the knife that was pressed against his throat. A small cry of fear came from his battered lover.

"You're going to do it Doc, because if ya don't, we'll just make ya watch as we do the same thing to ya precious fiance over there." he told Shinra, who froze at the threat, eyes filled with horror. Knowing that he had the brunet in the palm of his hand, he released the knife and walked back over to his previous position.

"One more thing, Doc. You're gonna have ta show li'l Iza-chan just how much ya enjoy taking him against his will. You'll rip of his clothes and fuck him until he's nothin' but a bleedin', broken shell. Do it and you get ta leave with that pretty girly of yours. Don't and...well, I think ya got the idea." he said, snickering as he snapped his fingers.

Two men appeared, dragging a struggling body between them. They threw the person on the floor, who proceeded to get to his feet, a grimace on his face from the rough treatment. Crooked Teeth wrapped an arm around Izaya, who glared viciously at him.

"Look what we brought you, pet. It's some old friends of yours." he said. The brunet looked over, seeing Celty and Shinra. His eyes widened in shock.

"Wh-What...are they doing here…?" he asked, eyes growing mortified as he looked into the eyes of his best friend. His captor's grin widened.

"Well, you haven't been enjoying it much when we have our way with ya, so I thought you might like it better if it was someone a li'l more familiar to ya." All three of them tensed as the insinuation.

Izaya's eyes nearly popped out his head from how wide they got. "Wh-What? You brought him here for...that?" His thin frame shook with both fear and anger, but he covered it up with false bravado. "Heh, as you can already see, Shinra is involved with a woman. I highly doubt that he would enjoy having sex with me, let alone doing the things you sick bastards do. Isn't that right, Shinra?" he said, directing his gaze towards the glasses-wearer.

Said male had his head down, bangs covering his eyes as he struggled with a dilemma. 'They want me to do such a sick, twisted thing to Izaya…? I don't want to, but if I don't, they do the same to Celty and make me watch. Fuck! What do I do?' he paused in his thoughts, weighing his options. '...It goes against my morals, however I have to protect the woman I love. I have to protect Celty. I won't let anything...or anyone...get in the way of that.' he said silently, filled with determination.

"Shinra…?" Izaya called, breaking into the man's silent struggle.

With his will set, the scientist looked up at the informant. The man found himself intensely disturbed when he saw the glint in his eyes. The red-eyed male instinctively took a step back as the other started to walk forward. The brunet's retreat was stopped by Crooked Teeth, who shot him a sadistic grin.

Izaya looked back towards his friend. He thought about trying to appeal to him, but the look in the man's eyes told him that he had no chance. Despite it being against his nature, the Orihara began to shake at the thought of being assaulted again, this time by someone he was intimate with.

Shinra quickly made his way over to the restrained informant. Crooked Teeth released the brunet in favor of allowing the doctor to get his hands on him. A smirk of glee slid across his face as he watched Izaya squirm.

The Orihara tried to get out of the Kisihitani's grip, knowing that the man was physically weak. However, his attempts were in vain as the male displayed a strength that nearly rivaled Shizuo's. The red-eyed man looked up at his friend. "Sh-Shinra…" he said quietly.

Said male shoved Izaya to the ground, crawling over him as he pinned the 23-year-old to the concrete floor. His face was hidden in shadow as he positioned himself above him. Meticulous hands began to remove the man's clothing, bit by bit. Izaya was unsure of how to react to the cold actions, so much unlike the untamed nature of his tormentors.

Noticing this as well, Crooked Teeth spoke up. "Don't forget about our li'l talk, Doc." he said, referring to the agreement. The male bit his lip in anger, but then released it, planting a twisted smile on his face that was directed toward the man below him.

"We're going to have fun, aren't we, Izaya? It can be another experiment of mine." he said, tone bright and happy, an utter contrast to the revulsion Shinra felt internally. His captive stared up at him, fear starting to build up the scarlet orbs. Was the only person he cared about really going to…?

His question seemed to be answered when he felt something press against his entrance. Izaya froze. "Sh-Shinra...Please...don't…" he said, voice shaking just a bit. That moment of weakness from the normally unmoved informant almost made Shinra reconsider his actions. Almost.

Instead, he simply laughed. "I never thought I'd hear the day when you would sound so vulnerable, Izaya. Makes me curious about just how weak you'll get." he said as he sat back on his knees, stroking his cock until it was erect.

Watching the organ swell with blood made the Orihara want to vomit. 'I guess karma is really punishing me for all the things I've done in the past. Is this how I've made others feel with my schemes? Human emotions truly are sickening.' he thought to himself, repressing a shiver of disgust.

He was drawn back to reality by a harsh slap to the face. He blinked in shock before looking up at the doctor. "You're daydreaming now, too? Just what has gotten into you, Izaya?" Shinra snarked. Before the other could formulate a retort, the brunet slammed into him.

The sudden onslaught of agony made Izaya scream loudly. Crooked Teeth grinned gleefully while Celty curled in on herself, unable to watch the graphic scene before her. Shinra pounded in and out of him. He could feel the rough heat inside the brunet devouring his length as he moved and shuddered in revulsion as he felt the blood from the sudden intrusion slicken his way.

Despite the wretchedness he felt, the young Kishitani followed his agreement to the T, forcing out primal moans to keep up the appearance of enjoying it. Knowing he would need to kick up the torment another level, the doctor started to speak.

"Ahh, damn you're tight Izaya. You would think you'd be pretty loose after all the guys you've whored yourself out to. No complaints here though. It feels fantastic~." he said, shooting the other a vile grin.

Izaya neglected to respond. He focused his eyes on the roof above him to try and allow his mind to drift, to be anywhere but where he was now. However, he remained in the present, feeling every caress of skin by his supposed friend and hearing every merciless taunt. He couldn't help as tears built up at the corners of his eyes, remaining there until they spilled down his temples to pool on the ground. 'Why? Wh-Why can't I leave this place? Why am I stuck in this hell, unable to do anything...unable to protect myself...unable to escape...my body's become a prison. I'm just a toy for everyone's sick amusement...just like they used to be mine…' the 23-year-old thought as he felt the last strands of his sanity start to snap.

Shinra could see the despair boiling within the other. He hung his head down further to hide his own tears. 'I'm so sorry Izaya. I wish I didn't have to, but I had no choice. Celty comes first, even above my best friend.' he silently told his victim. As the pair wordlessly broke down within their minds, their bodies continued to move against one another, the union marked by a mix of blood, sweat, and self-hatred.

It took a whole hour for Shinra to finally finish. Due to his abhorrence for what he was being forced to do, he could not bring himself to ejaculate. Izaya found no comfort in the lack of the male's orgasm. It made the torture last longer, the terror overtake him, and insanity claim him. He internally begged for the doctor to finish up, to cum so that he could stop being subjected to this inhumane betrayal. All he received in return was more mockery and pain. When the man eventually relieved himself, the Orihara felt himself shatter. He was no longer Izaya Orihara, the info broker. He was an empty shell of himself.

Shinra pulled away from the other so that he could quickly get dressed and leave with his fiance. He avoided looking Izaya in the face, not wanting to see all the damage he had caused. Unfortunately, Crooked Teeth had another idea in mind. He forced Izaya up, dragging him by the hair and throwing him at Shinra, causing his face to land near the doctor. He then moved beside the pair, using one hand to force the Orihara's mouth open and Shinra's hips forward, causing the man to enter the red-eyed man's mouth.

Kishitani's eyes widened in horror. "Wh-What...What the hell are you fucking doing?!" he screamed, trying to escape the iron hold around his waist. Crooked Teeth leaned in close to the man,words coming out in a cold whisper.

"I never said you two were done with each other after screwing this li'l shit once, Doc. You're not done until I say you are, understand? So get to work." He pulled back and made the pair move, forcibly giving Shinra a blowjob via Izaya. Said brunet sat silently through all of it, tears sliding down his face.

'It's never over, is it? Just when I hope...never over...never...never...never...never…. n-never...WHY CAN THIS NEVER BE OVER?!' he ranted within his mind, screaming for someone to answer why he had to be the one who had to go through this hell. Madness set upon him, ravaging him from the inside-out until he was nothing but a doll on the outside. He was trapped within the one thing that he thought would never betray him: himself.

'WHEN THE HELL WILL THIS BE FUCKING OVER?! WHEN WILL I FINALLY BE ALLOWED TO DIE TO GET OUT OF THIS?! Please...kill me...anyone...'

At this point, he was in severe pain, his body, his head, even his heart, hurt, throbbing with intense agony. He felt...broken...violated...dirty. As he lay there on the filthy ground, one thought, one person, filled his mind. He saw a streak of blond hair and caught a glimpse of blue sunglasses. 'Sh-Shizu-chan...Help me...Shizu-chan...'

End Flashback

"...I was forced to assault Izaya several more times before Celty and I were finally free to go." Shinra concluded, face hidden behind his hair once more. Retelling the story made the doctor loathe himself again. He was still repulsed by his actions, but he didn't regret them, as he felt saving Celty had been worth it. He didn't expect anyone else to understand, so he was unsurprised when Shizuo slammed him against a wall with his face twisted in a murderous rage.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" the blond screamed, feeling fury overtake him. He smashed his fist into Shinra's face, over and over. He held nothing back, releasing all of the hurt, horror, and anger from hearing what the doctor had done to Izaya.

The Heiwajima tossed the man on the ground, his body falling brokenly. "HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR FRIEND! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM?!" he raved, slamming his foot into the brunet's side. The action flipped the doctor over and he lied there, struggling to draw in a single breath. Shizuo brought his foot back to kick him the other again before he was stopped by charcoal strands wrapping tightly around his body. He couldn't move at all, so he turned to the person who held him back. "What the fuck do you want, Celty?! Let me go." he growled, glaring daggers at the headless spirit.

She shook her head. "I'm sorry Shizuo, but I can't let you do this. I can't allow you to kill Shinra." she said, voice heavy with sadness. He snarled.

"WHY THE FUCK NOT?! AFTER WHAT HE DID TO IZAYA, THE BASTARD SHOULD GO TO HELL!" The dullahan remained silent for a moment.

"Shizuo...I know what he did. He did it to save me. And that's why I can't let you do this. I love Shinra and he loves me to the point where he did something like that. We can never be forgiven for what we did to Izaya, but I won't sit back and allow you to kill the man I owe my life to. I'm sorry." she said, voice full of distress and hurt, yet also determination for protecting her fiance.

The enforcer snarled, but Celty let him loose, knowing her words had gotten to him. Shizuo stormed over to the door. "Izaya was right - you two really are monsters." he said, opening the door and slamming it shut behind him.

Neither of the apartment's remaining occupants could bring themselves to respond to the blond's words as the spirit went to check on her lover's condition.

The Heiwajima ran all the way back to his flat, wanting nothing more than to be with Izaya after what he had heard. Once he was back on his side of town, he quickly made his way up to the apartment, unlocking the door and securing it behind him. He then headed for his bedroom to check on his roommate.

The brunet lay under the sheets, still sleeping. Shizuo made his way over over to him, stripping off his jacket, pants, shoes, and glasses before climbing in bed next to the other. He wrapped his arms around Izaya's waist, pulling the male into his chest. The red-eyed man shifted a bit, waking up briefly. "Sh-Shizu...chan?" he asked groggily. The blond hummed in reply.

"Yeah, it's me. Go back to sleep. You're safe." he said comfortingly. The Orihara nodded lazily, cuddling into his partner's chest before falling back asleep. Shizuo gently squeezed the amnesiac.

'You'll always be safe with me, no matter what. I'll destroy anyone who tries to hurt you, I promise.' the Heiwajima thought to himself as he watched over the brunet.
