-Flashback-
"Oi~ Tsu-nee~! Look, I got up here before you did!"
A sweaty black haired boy stood upon the many roofs of Ikebukuro, leaning against the edge with a proud grin on his face as he looked at a girl below him on the same building. The girl turned her mocha eyes towards the boy, blowing some dark black hair off her face as both her hands were occupied as they held her lifeline if she let go of one of them. She let out a small exasperated smile at the cheerful boy, her expression softening despite her being tired from the exercise of climbing tall buildings. Nothing that a ten-year old should do at their age.
She furrowed her brows slightly, acting annoyed despite the soft quirk of the lips she had. "Perhaps Izaya, that's because you went and started climbing without waiting for me or my instruction." Izaya pouted. Watching his twin get closer and closer to where he stood in a controlled and even pace. Different from how Izaya did it, which was fast and choppy. Wishing to beat his sister. Her black bangs sticking to her forehead cause of her sweat. A result of her practicing parkour for three hours, Izaya coming afterwords at a later time. A drop of sweat on his temple was the only thing that showed his work during that time.
"Older brothers get to go first. Didn't you know that Tsu-nee?" Izaya said with a playful grin, the pout already gone from his face as he looked down at his twin with teasing eyes.
Natsu gave a mild eye roll at those words. Her hand reaching over to the edge of the roof.
"I think you mixed it up. It's girls first Izaya."
Izaya snorted in response, reaching over to help his twin up to the roof. Natsu gave him a grateful glance as she took his hand tightly, Izaya giving her a knowing smile in return. She helped him pull her self up with her legs and her other hand, now safely on the roof. She took another glance at Izaya, who seemed to be beaming at her as he leaned over the edge.
"I told you Tsu-nee~. That I was-" Natsu didn't see Izaya's eyes anymore, only his flailing arm as he seemed to fall backwards. A strangled surprised gasp coming out of him as he was falling towards the ground. Natsu's eyes widened, quickly trying to grab his hand but narrowly missed. Only touching his fingers. Natsu did the next best thing, which was on impulse. Not willing to lose her twin. At least not on her watch and while she was still alive and breathing. And that was throwing herself to grab Izaya's falling figure. Reaching towards the one person she held above her own life, prepared to throw away her life to save his. Who cares that she was only ten? Izaya was only ten too and must be protected. He MUST be.
Natsu reached her fingers down as Izaya looked at her with desperate eyes. Natsu narrowed her eyes in determination. With her free hand she caught the edge of the roof and with the other-.
She caught his hand. Tightly, releasing the breath of air that she didn't realize she held as she did. She saw Izaya look down and then back at her with wide eyes. Natsu gave him a comforting smile, and swung him towards the top of the roof, ignoring the way her young muscles stretched and protested. She then climbed back on to the roof, seeing Izaya farther away from the edge as he should be. Natsu walked towards Izaya and sat beside him, looking at him in concern. He was sitting with his knees close to his chest, his arms encircling him. His head sat on his knees, his gaze facing nothing besides the city before them. Natsu looked at him worriedly, for she didn't see any physical injuries on his body. In his mind however, that may be a different story. Even though she would think Izaya would normally just give her a grin. But Natsu suspects the thing on his mind. Izaya opened his mouth.
"Natsu. Do you know what you just-"
Natsu cut him off, a kind smile on her face as she looked at him. Already knowing what he was going to say.
"I saved you from falling. I caught you."
Izaya quickly moved his head towards her, his eyebrows down in confusion and slight anger.
"But I was the one who said I was going to catch you when you fall. It's not supposed to be the other way around! Natsu, you almost di-"
Warm arms suddenly encircled his hunched form, tightening around his shoulders as he felt a chin lay on his shoulder. Izaya, already cut himself off in surprise as he just sat there as he felt Natsu comforting body on his.
"I never said that I wasn't going to do it for you as well." She brought him closer to her, Izaya only staring wide-eyed at the sky. "You'd think I'd just let you die? It's my responsibility to catch you when you fall too you know." Natsu's soothing smile softened even more, although Izaya didn't see it, he could tell that she was.
"But Natsu you-"
Natsu quietly shushed him, which worked as she tried to show Izaya that he was fine. She was fine. They were safe. They were here in this world still together. Alive. And not separated. She did all that with a simple gesture. He didn't speak up to argue again, which Natsu was thankful for. Izaya's eyes however, never lost that thoughtful expression on his face as he let Natsu hug him.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Natsu-San, are you alright? It's lunchtime."
Natsu blinked owlishly, coming out of her nostalgic mind as she noticed the classroom was nearly empty. Except for a few students who were eating their bentos in the classroom. It seemed she was out for a few minutes, her mind wandering to the past that was already lost. Her blank gaze then flitted to the boy next to her desk, waiting for her answer to her well-being. She didn't know him personally, just a regular classmate of hers. His name was Akashi she believed, and had light brown hair and caramel colored eyes. A regular build for a teenage boy as well. She nodded towards the boy and a small thanks for the boy who told her that it was time for a break from the white average classroom. As she got up to leave however, he stopped her.
"Ah, wait Natsu-San! Can I ask you something?"
Natsu raised a single eyebrow in question, but nodded. Akashi grinned excitedly.
"Do you want to come to a party this Saturday? I was planning to invite your brother too. You can also bring some of your friends if you want. I don't mind."
'A party.' Natsu thought with a dead tone.
The last time she went to a party, it was horrible. With Izaya? Not only is it impossible because she has no idea where he is-which worried her every day-but Natsu doesn't think a party with Izaya would be a safe one. Natsu knew that for a fact. And so with a blunt 'No', ignoring the grin that quickly fell off the boys face, she walked out of the classroom. Heading towards the roof with a small bento in hand, but doubting herself she will eat it anyway. She opened the door to the roof, seeing no one there. And so she laid down, placing her bento beside her as she looked at the fluffy clouds over her. Natsu wasn't really bothered by the fact that Shinra didn't seem to tell her it was lunch time. He probably thought she was behind him anyways, and just didn't realize that he in fact forgot about her. Perhaps already trying to frantically find her, an annoyed Shizuo and exasperated Kadota by him as they will probably help to search. Instead, Natsu's mind went back to the past. The particular memory where she saved Izaya's life on the roof. But she mostly focused on the parts where a cheerful grin easily came to his face. That childish innocence that he had, for even though they had a strong intellect it didn't mean that they weren't children. Even though he was rushing, Izaya knew exactly what he was doing as he went off to challenge her in a race of climbing. It may not have been as cautious as she hoped, but she knew he was calculating in his mind where he was going. Even though it was only a few months in that she started teaching him, he was a quick learner. He still is. Devious and manipulative was just added into the mix throughout the years. Natsu let out a quiet nostalgic sigh, missing the innocent grins he had.
But as long as Izaya is here, Natsu will still see that same fragility that she's always seen since they were little. No matter what he does or says, she will see that part of him. Try as he might to hide it from others, he'll never hide it from her. Never. She will fail as a sister and twin if she did. Something that she will not lose, ever.
Her mind then wandered to the unforgettable memory of the party during middle school. Or more like how she was the day after. A horrible headache. A swollen lip. And a slow grogginess to her movements.
What a day it was.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
-Flashback-
It was during their third year of middle school. Like any other day, Natsu stood close to Izaya. Making sure that she never strayed too far from him, just in case. Not even a year has passed since the Nakura incident, so she did this to make sure no harm comes between Izaya.
Although, it just made Natsu get introduced to strange people.
From teenaged girls who mindlessly followed her twin like an occult to people that looked like they belong somewhere else. The somewhere else being in jail. For most of them belonged in gangs or were involved someway with the Yakuza or Mafia. It worried Natsu, even making her want to learn some Italian or Russian, since that's where those groups mostly came from and spoke. And it seems her brother already knows some Russian, if those conversations with an unknown gruff sounding language she caught when he was with those certain people with such connections.
Which so happened to be happening right now.
Natsu owlishly blinked beside her smirking twin, brought out of her thoughts at the sudden bark of laughter from the boy across them. A smirk coming across his face as well, gray eyes appearing smug and satisfied with dark blondish bangs seeming to shadow his features. While smoke was still being released to the air outside of the school's building, coming from the cigarette in the boys mouth. Natsu's nose twitched in slight discomfort of the smell. Not liking the toxic smell coming from the death imposing stick, even though she should be used to it by now. Natsu's nose just couldn't take it. But she said nothing as she looked the boy over. She knows that he was born here, perhaps half-Japanese as well, if those almond shaped eyes and high cheekbones had anything to do with it. She believed his name was Seiichi. Seiichi Volkov. Definitely half-Japanese and Russian.
Though, Natsu has decided that she should start studying the language, mostly because she didn't like how both her brother and Seiichi were smirking at one another. When the conversation so happened to come to a close. Seiichi brought his hand up for a drag when his gray eyes looked towards her, his smirk never wavering. Izaya's, however, twitched downwards for a second. Not like Seiichi noticed for his eyes never strayed from Natsu's form. He then spoke again in Russian, obviously towards Izaya, his eyes never torn away from Natsu. Izaya's eyes narrowed in annoyance, and said something back to him. And seemed to try to bring those gray eyes back on him, even though Natsu remained unperturbed by the whole thing. At Izaya's reply, the boy finally turned his head away from Natsu and spoke again with a bitter tone. Appearing annoyed at her twin for whatever he said, a frown suddenly marred on his face. Natsu's eyes slightly narrowed, and discreetly began to observe the boy for any sudden movements. Not liking how both boys appeared annoyed with the other. Izaya spoke again, his words appearing threatening with those reddish brown eyes of his and smirk. After a moment of silence, Seiichi replied back his tone appearing final. His ashy eyes then came back to Natsu.
"Would you like to go to a party Donna?"
Natsu blinked in surprise, not expecting such a question from the boys mouth and the sudden smoky breath of air towards her. Whose voice sounded smoother then when he spoke in Russian. She took a glance to Izaya, who had his teeth clenched with closed eyes. Obviously annoyed, he then opened his eyes and gave her a warning glance, the smirk never leaving his face but now appearing forced. Cautioning her on to choose her answer carefully. But she needed a question to be answered first.
"Is Izaya going?"
The answer to this question was the deciding factor, and based on Izaya's annoyed eyes and the sudden smug smirk on Seiichi's, Natsu already knew the answer.
"Why of course Donna! Can't have just one half of a twin without the other in a party such as this."
Natsu didn't need his reply, for she has already decided. And so she silently nodded, making Seiichi's smirk widen even further. The smoke curling around his face as he did so. And so with a final word to Izaya, he left, the cigarette already dead on the ground.
Leaving an annoyed Izaya and indifferent Natsu behind.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Tsu-chan, remind me again why you said yes?" Izaya said with false curiosity as they walked down the sidewalk to the supposed party location, the moon over them as they walked the light-filled street. Natsu continued to walk silently though, knowing that her brother already knows the answer to that question. More rhetorical then anything else. Natsu was sure she heard the annoyance in his voice as well.
Perhaps it was because their little sisters caught wind of where exactly they were going. They were only five, but it seemed they were too sharp for their own good. Well, for Izaya anyway. She saw how greatly irritated he was, even though he was trying to hide it, when Mairu and Kururi stood behind Natsu while holding her black jeans stubbornly. Wanting to go with them, even threatening to do something to the babysitter when they were gone.
"Why can't we go?! It's not fair! Tsu-nee, tell him!" Mairu exclaimed as she tightened her hold on her pants, Kururi giving a mild nod in agreement to her twin's statement.
"You little monsters just can't. And get your grubby little hands off of Tsu-chan." Izaya replied with an annoyed sigh, irritation all over his features despite the smirk on his face that seemed to be twitching to Natsu's observant eyes. Mairu stuck her tongue at him.
"You're just mad that I'm touching Tsu-nee and you're not!"
Izaya looked down at her with narrowed eyes at that statement, a smirk that appeared too forced to Natsu. If she didn't know any better, Izaya looked like he would personally torture their little sisters and then put them in a cage far below sea level so he wouldn't see them again. The only thing stopping him though, was her as a possible witness to that crime.
"Nii...jealous" Kururi's said, her soft voice managing to be understood by Natsu's ears. Natsu knew that Izaya heard her as well, if that strained smile had anything to do with it.
Natsu decided to speak, wanting to diffuse the tension between her siblings.
"Mairu. Kururi. I'm sorry but I gotta go with Izaya and it can be only us two. I'll make sure I bring lots of candy for both of you alright?"
A small smile appeared on Kururi's face and she gave a nod. Mairu however, just pouted like the child she was. Not liking how serious Natsu was with them when she called them by their name instead of the childish 'Mai-nee' and 'Ruri-nee'. Izaya didn't seem to like it either from what Mairu saw, which Mairu took sadistic delight in. She was still upset on how he was going with Tsu-nee instead of her and Kururi.
"Iza-nii is going to get naughty with you Tsu-nee. Not fair~" Mairu's form seemed to slump in disappointment, but she looked at Izaya with knowing eyes. Izaya just gave a smirk at Mairu with his eyebrows down, appearing to show arrogance.
"Jealous~?"
Natsu ignored on what their five year old sister was implying, her being too young for such knowledge anyway. She also ignored Izaya's rebuttal at Mairu's words, aware that Izaya will do anything to anger and irritate his sisters like they do to him.
She put a hand on top of Mairu's head, slightly ruffling her hair.
"We'll be back before you know it," she put her other hand on top Kururi's head, her eyes shut with pleasant delight at the soft touch. Mairu still holding the pout, although her shoulders slouched a bit with Natsu's soothing touch on her head. Even though she messed their hair up a bit because of the action.
She slowly released herself from them and gave them a wave, telling them to not bother the babysitter as she left with her silent twin. But Natsu didn't overlook the mocking smirk that Izaya had as he closed the door behind them.
"And here we are." Natsu looked up, a two-story house facing her. It was quite big, the property that the owner had was huge from what Natsu could see. For the house was fairly wide in length and appeared to have many rooms inside, for Natsu saw many lights coming from the numerous windows of the dark blue colored house. Izaya gave it an unimpressed once over.
"Hmm~, not too shabby. I expected more though. Interesting DJ they must have as well."
Izaya wasn't really wrong in that. The music sounded techno, although Natsu didn't know for sure. It sounded...nice. But seemed foreign to her ears. Perhaps it was Russian music? Who really knows. Izaya then faced Natsu, a smirk already adorning his face as he held a single finger up in front of him.
"Now Tsu-chan, this isn't your any normal BORING party. This is a party with people high up. Well," Izaya gave a casual shrug, "people below would make more sense. Then again, this party perhaps won't make any sense once we get out of it."
Natsu blinked at him.
Izaya's smirk widened as he suddenly put an arm around her shoulders.
"What I'm saying is, just stay close to me got it Tsu-chan~? I know you did this cause of your promise and this and that," he waved his hands as to show,"but we are dealing with dangerous people. So keep your eyes opened alright?" His head was next to hers, his eyes looking towards the right to see if she understood. Which Natsu did. Fully. This is people related with the Mafia, perhaps a party within a Mafia members house. It was dangerous, but that's why she's here in the first place. To make sure Izaya stood at least a mile away from it, but that was mostly impossible so Natsu could cope with him just being a few feet away. Izaya was trying to warn her in his own way, the dangers that might come within this house. But what better way to face it then be by each other's side?
" I was going to stay by your side anyways."
Izaya gave her a knowing smirk and eyes with understanding and approval.
"Wouldn't expect any less from my Tsu-chan~. Now, let's party."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Natsu eyes hurt when she entered the house, all the flashing lights with different colors. It seemed she was at a club more then a house party, it didn't help that smoke seemed to be inside the house. But after a few minutes, her nose got used to it. The smoke still covered her vision slightly though, the amount of it was great. And all these people in the party seemed to be only teens around her age. Honestly, what kind of parents housed and taught these kids Natsu wondered.
'Parents in the mafia', her mind answered for her.
Izaya stood with no tension on his shoulders, but his reddish brown eyes were guarded. And so was Natsu's. Natsu analyzed the dancing and laughing teens around them, marking everyone as a potential threat to her or Izaya. Seiichi then spotted them near the entrance, and walked towards them with a flourish as he left the group he was with seconds ago. His clothes appeared formal, just being a white long sleeved shirt with black dress pants but with expensive sneakers adorning his feet. Natsu was glad that they could dress casual, which is what Izaya and Natsu did. Both of them having their trademark leather jackets on them. Seiichi gave a nod towards Izaya, and then turned towards his attention towards her, a smirk on his face.
"Why hello Donna, I'm glad that you both were able to come." Seiichi moved his hand to grab hers when Izaya suddenly put his arms around her, jostling her and pulling her away from the gray-eyed boy's reach.
"Why of course Sei-kun~. We wouldn't miss this kind of party in the world." Izaya gave a charming smirk at him, his eyes narrowed in challenge. Ashy orbs narrowed themselves but then appeared back to normal, Seiichi losing that brief tension in him as he looked at both of them. Natsu knew that Seiichi was probably going to kiss her hand, an action that Izaya would not stand. So he cleared her out of his reach, making it look like he didn't know what Seiichi was going to do and was just replying back to the host in good taste. Izaya though, of course knew what he was doing. He didn't need mafia behind his back because of bad blood, but it wouldn't appear unless a full fight or argument happens. Izaya was calculative, knowing what not to do and when. That didn't mean that he didn't know how to act innocent in such situations.
Seiichi hummed in agreement to Izaya's statement, and asked if they would like a drink. Izaya giving a polite no. Seiichi looked towards Natsu and asked the same, Izaya giving a brief squeeze of the shoulder as he asked.
Natsu gave a small bow, "No thank you, but I appreciate the offer." Seiichi's eyes seemed to glisten when she rose up from her bow, causing Izaya to narrow his eyes at him.
"Why of course Donna! It's the host's responsibility to make sure he takes care each and every one if his guests. Though," He smirked at her, his dark blond bangs coming across his eyes,"There are favorites among them."
This boy sure knew how to use his tongue, Natsu will give him that much. It reminded her of Izaya, except more flirtatious in a way. More seductive. If Natsu didn't know any better, they could've been friends.
A hand then appeared in her vision, connecting to the smirking Seiichi.
"Would you like to dance Donna?" His voice was low as he said it, seductive. For some reason, Natsu thought it matched the voice of the snake that tempted Eve in the Bible.
Before Natsu could respond, Izaya spoke for her.
"Sorry Sei-kun, but it seems Natsu already promised she'd dance with me for the whole night. What a shame~." Izaya's tone had false remorse, which Natsu was concerned over. Izaya started to tempt dangerous waters around him.
Seiichi looked Izaya over and then hummed, eyes traveling back to Natsu.
"Perhaps later you will change your mind. I must leave now and tend to the other guests, enjoy yourselves."
And with a small bow of the head, he left them. The smirk never leaving Izaya's face as he went. Izaya then brought Natsu to what seemed to be the living room after some walking around, the good and drinks located in the room next to it. They sat down on the spacious couch, ignoring the conversation around them as Izaya whispered to Natsu.
"Tsu-chan, I'm sure you're aware of this but Sei-kun wants you. Alone," Izaya emphasized on that word and continued,"And we can't have that. Nope~, it's not in any of our plans on why we are here. So let's try to stick together throughout this whole thing shall we?" His tone ended in a playful note, too bad that they didn't seem to manage their plan on sticking together. Izaya went off to get food and drinks for them, wanting Natsu to follow him as he did so, but Natsu seemed to get lost in the crowd. And was now just completely lost. Several minutes passed as she tried to figure out where the living room was, but not having ever been there before didn't help her situation.
She managed to find the food and drinks though, but it seemed it was just another room with items, not seeing the familiar living room next to it. Instead, it was the makeshift dance floor. Natsu grabbed a drink, that being soda, not wanting any other. She's not going to get drunk at her age, far too young for her liking. Even though the other people around her thought differently. She absentmindedly drank as she waited, leaning against the wall of the second food and drinks room. It wasn't until her third cup of soda did Natsu noticed something odd. The soda to have a mild strange taste then what she was used to.
'Was she...was the drink drugged?'
And with that last thought, Natsu saw black.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Izaya's POV
Izaya admits it, he does, he was displeased. Displeased really isn't the word, perhaps annoyed. Irritated. Irked. Miffed. Ruffled.
Whatever he was, he didn't like it. What kind of host doesn't give his guests a tour of his home? Perhaps if that dear 'Sei-KUN' did that, Natsu wouldn't have gotten lost. She wasn't even supposed to be here, at this party, at this time. It was just supposed to be him. She wasn't supposed to get involved in him strengthening his connections, and a guy like Seiichi, he knew what could happen there. But that promise she kept trying to hold, much to Izaya's annoyance and chagrin, kept getting in the way. He admits this though, the attention she gives him, he revels in it. Much more then he thought he would. The lost closeness they had was all but forgotten when she kept that promise, but as of now, it didn't help.
Izaya didn't like it when nothing was according to plan, and this was one of them. He didn't like it at all.
Izaya took another look at the dance floor, checking if Seiichi perhaps caught Natsu prisoner as he danced with her. Izaya's eyes narrowed at the thought, he was really pushing his nerves, that Seiichi. But considering who he was related to, Izaya wasn't surprised. It seemed the whole family was looking for Izaya's wrath. No one looks at Natsu like that, like a piece of meat to be eaten. No one. Not even his only friend Shinra will be allowed to do so, but he's too caught up in his Celty so Izaya doubts it will ever happen.
Izaya began to walk around the house once more, checking each room for a raven colored head and leather jacket that was close to his own. He then took notice of a very important observation.
He hasn't seen Seiichi either.
Izaya felt his eyes narrow into slits, not liking where his mind was going with this. Not at all. He wouldn't dare. Seiichi was aware on what he capable of, like he was aware on what him. Izaya slowly clenched his fists, he wouldn't. Izaya then noticed he just checked all the rooms where the party was being held, which was in the first floor. He didn't check the second floor yet. Izaya began to walk in a fast pace, not wanting to attract attention to himself as he mumbled 'excuse me's' as he passed the other guests of the party.
He quickly went up the stairs, noticing that his ears were finally getting a break from that noise that was called music from the story below. He began to look through the rooms one by one, one hand in his pocket, feeling the familiar leather handle and grabbing hold of it.
Izaya knew what these kind of people were. He's been learning how to deal with them, which has been going well so far. But again, he knew how they were. Mafia? Just by that word, any ordinary person would know how a person from a group like that would act and what they could do. They want something? They'll get it. They want someone dead? They're dead within the next four hours. They want someone gone? Consider like they never existed, no government agency able to find a single file on the person. Izaya knew all that. But he also knew that could be a useful tool. A dangerous and smart tool, but a tool nonetheless.
Tools know their place. And this one seemed to stray a little too far for Izaya's liking.
Izaya came to the final door that he hasn't checked, a double wooden door. He placed a single ear on the door, listening for any sounds. And he did, hearing a voice speaking within the room. He took his ear off the door, tensing in preparation as he placed a hand on the door handle. He then thought better off it, and rose a hand to knock the door, a smirk on his face as he did so.
He knocked with a beat.
"Oh Tsu-chan~, where are you~? Are you in here? I've been looking everywhere you know." He opened the door, walking in with a flamboyant step, his arms up in the air by his side as he did so. And there he was.
Dear Seiichi sitting behind a desk with mouth agape in surprise, with what appeared an unconscious Natsu sitting on his lap. Izaya's eyes glinted dangerously, but that smirk never wavered as he began to walk towards the twin.
"Oh Sei-kun~," His tone mocked surprise," I didn't expect to see you here. And oh my, what happened to dear old Tsu-chan~? Do I see her asleep on your lap Sei-kun~?"
"Izaya-"
Izaya interrupted with a sudden laugh.
"Well, well, what have you two been up to when I was missing in action? Surely nothing naughty? I wonder what your father would think Sei-kun~?"
Seiichi widened his eyes, appearing frantic.
"Wait no, Izaya please-"
He loved this. He absolutely, positively, indulged in this feeling. The feeling of having power over others, it's what Izaya wants to have his entire life. This feeling. This feeling of being in control, while the people around you are in disarray and in fear. He felt, dare he say it and he shall, God-like. Izaya's smirk widened at the look of Seiichi's eyes, appearing mocking. Here he was, making the son of an ex-mafia leader be in fear. Oh yes, Izaya felt God-like indeed.
Izaya hummed.
"Put Tsu-chan off your lap then."
Seiichi did, placing her on a couch in the side of the room. And began to walk towards Izaya until he was stopped by a raise of the hand.
"Ah, ah," Izaya waved a single finger as he said," Go back and sit down."
Seiichi mildly glared at him, his relatively handsome face in a scowl.
"Don't order me around Izaya or I'll-"
Izard rose an unimpressed eyebrow. "Did your father not teach you to follow orders as well? Hmm~, maybe he needs to stay for a little longer then-
"No!" Seiichi exclaimed loudly, for the first time appearing disheveled since Izaya entered the room. Which was what he was hoping for. Seiichi then went to sit back down in the chair he was in before, tense as a rod. Izaya's eyes took in on this, appearing sadistic as he observed the normally cool and perhaps charming blond gray-eyed, now tense with pleading eyes with fists clenched tight on his knees.
Izaya then began to question the half-Russian on what exactly he was doing.
"What were you trying to do to Tsu-chan dear Sei-kun~? Why is she asleep?"
Seiichi gulped in nervousness.
"Will you be able to free my dad if I answer?"
Izaya's eyes narrowed back into dangerous slits, making Seiichi flinch, his eyes appearing demonic based on his reddish tint seeming to glow at the angle the light was hitting.
"It depends on how you'll answer Sei-kun. Now answer it correctly, and your dad will finally be here at home with you instead of behind a cell." Seiichi took a moment to collect himself and then began to speak, carefully.
"Well, its more of what she did to herself then what I did to her." Izaya looked at him skeptically.
"Are you saying its Tsu-chan's fault she's like this Sei-kun~?" Izaya asked slowly, a dangerous tone coming from his voice at the possible accusation Seiichi was making. Seiichi widened his eyes and shook his head. "No! Well, she drank the soda." Izaya gave him a look to ask him to go on, his patience already starting to wear thin. "All the drinks that are here, have alcohol in them. So-" Izaya interrupted him. "Are you saying you drugged Tsu-chan?"
Seiichi looked at him in what Izaya registered as fear. "Listen, Izaya, I never gave it to her. She's the one that drank it voluntarily. You know what kind of parties I hold here." Izaya ignored his last sentence and mostly focused on what he said in the beginning. "But Sei-kun, aren't you the one that drugged all the drinks?" Seiichi appeared in a loss on what to say, looking defeated and hopeless. Izaya stared at him for a few moments and then walked towards the lying form of Natsu on the couch, crouching beside her as he overlooked her form. Looking for any differences to anything on her body. Whether it be on her skin or on her clothes.
"I didn't touch her Izaya."
Izaya's hand moved a strand of black hair behind Natsu's ear, tenderly as he did so. "You mean you didn't get the chance to." Izaya nearly growled out, but then quickly went back to his mocking and smirking self. He looked back at Seiichi, his red orbs seeming to pierce through him as he spoke.
"Don't invite me again. If you want to discuss important matters I'll choose the location. And don't get even twenty feet towards Natsu, or you can basically say goodbye to your father forever. And then you'll never get your wealth back. Understood, Sei-kun~?"
Seiichi slowly nodded, in fear if he did it too fast, the demon within the boy will come and attack him. He gave a chilling cold and mocking smirk at him in response.
"Good. Now get out before I change my mind."
And out he went, barely able to keep his two feet from causing him to fall as he basically ran out the door. Izaya darkly chuckled. That's what he gets. He underestimated him for a moment there, he'd gladly keep his father in jail. He didn't care, but they made a deal. A deal that Izaya needed to spread his connections, and so he must keep it. Even though he wouldn't mind keeping Seiichi's father behind bars. He really didn't like that man, less then Seiichi even. But Izaya should've warned Natsu about the possible drugged drinks, but he didn't think it would've mattered, since he was supposed to stay by her side the whole time like he planned. And now look. An unconscious Natsu sleeping on a couch, with Izaya not knowing how much cups she drank.
Izaya knew one thing, she'd wake up with one heck of a headache he thought with an amused grin. She always gets this irritated look on her face when she gets them, a wrinkle in her between her eyebrows occasionally because of the pain. He took every chance he could in poking the wrinkle and teasing her that she'll look older then him if she kept doing that. Which only made her give him on what he could only see as a childish pout, something that made her look innocent. It made her look cute, unlike his younger sisters where he knew that they were either faking them or they just looked like brats.
Natsu however...
Izaya's eyes softened. He's glad that she made that promise to him, where she would stay by his side from now on. It quelled a fear within him. What that was, he didn't know. And didn't particularly care either, just glad that the closeness they had when they were kids didn't disappear into the air. Although, Izaya's eyes casted downward as he stared at Natsu's sleeping face in thought, he has to make sure that she doesn't keep her promise. No matter what. It was her duty to stay by his side no matter what? Well, it's his to make sure he stays away from her. Which he's been doing slowly throughout the years.
Oh yes, it was quite cruel. Did he care? Perhaps. Will he show it? Obviously not, he's no emotional idiot. Everyone has a duty in this world, it was his to make sure he stayed away from Natsu, no matter what she thought. For Izaya knew he grew to care for Natsu a little too much.
Izaya then began to idly wonder how he was going to get Natsu and himself out of there inconspicuously when he heard a sudden giggle. Izaya's eyes widened comically. There, sat Natsu with a wide and cheerful smile on her face as she stared at him. Izaya felt air coming into his mouth, must've opened up in shock he realized. Natsu? His indifferent blank faced twin, who only ever gave the smallest of smiles specifically for him, giving him a huge happy grin on her face? If he was Shinra, he perhaps would've pinched himself to check if this was a dream. But Izaya wasn't Shinra, he knew this wasn't a dream.
Another giggle escaped Natsu, her cheeks flushed and eyes lighted with giddiness. Izaya could only stare in awe, drawing closer to stare openly at her. And taking each feature of her face in, feeling warmth spread in his chest as she stared at him like that. The only rare times Natsu did give out a laugh was when they were very young, perhaps around the age of five. And that was when they played with each other actively, and her giggling at the idiotic things he used to do as a kid. Even then, it wasn't a common thing. If he was like Shinra, he would say he sort of missed those times, those moments. But he's not Shinra.
'Was it the drinks?'
It definitely was. She'll never act this way if it wasn't for the drugs, but Izaya guesses might as well have a little fun. He'll never see her like this again perhaps, so let's see what kind of things she says in this state.
"Oi Tsu-chan, you alright there?" He gave her a grin, greatly enjoying this as he was taking it in. Those white glimmering teeth that she barely showed, a smile that was too bright and innocent for this world as she stared at him with pure joy. He couldn't help but admire her face at such a state. Izaya then was suddenly grabbed by the back of his head and was pulled against her, lips locked with hers.
This was too sudden.
Way too sudden.
Here he was, at a mafia family's party, in their house. With a drunk Natsu lip locking with him, her eyes closed in happiness while he just stared at her with wide eyes, shellshocked on what was warmth that was in Izaya's chest began to creep into his face, but Izaya didn't dare pull , he didn't answer, knowing exactly why. Natsu's soft lips then slacked, her eyes relaxing as she fell against the couch. Izaya's lips still inches away from her own, cheeks with a small flush covering them and wide shocked eyes of pure disbelief on what just occurred in this room.
He put a hand up against his above average temperature face, covering half of it as he did so. It then slid to his slightly swollen lips, his eyes casted downward as he touched them.
Yes. He really did care for Natsu more than he was supposed to.
Izaya's eyes narrowed.
Way more.

Present Natsu POV
Natsu didn't know what happened afterwords, like she said, she woke up the day after the party. With a huge headache that came from the hangover she got as a result of her drinking just soda. The soda being drugged. Izaya then examined to her how she was when she was drunk, it was the opposite of how she normally acted. Her being all giddy and bubbling with emotions, Izaya's voice sounding like he seemed to be in bliss as his smirk transformed more into a happy grin. He then explained she got a kissing big when she was drunk and kissed someone during that time. Natsu asked who, Izaya just said it was this random person from the party that she grabbed. It explained why her lips were a little swollen when she woke up, so Natsu didn't ask any further. As Izaya was explaining in their house however, Natsu noticed Mairu kept her eyes narrowed at her twin, seeming to not believe his words for a second. It made Natsu raise an eyebrow at her, but didn't question it.
That day though, crushed any plan of another party. She wouldn't go. No. She doesn't want to worry about drugged drinks again, which was best solved in her not going to any parties. Shinra had quite a hoot when he heard what happened, he didn't stop laughing until he noticed the irritated glare aimed at him. Immediately causing him to be put into silence as sweat nervously started to form on his temple. Izaya though, each time he mentioned it a grin would come over his face. Filled with nostalgic glee as he recalled it each time. It made Natsu smile.
It was those moments that she saw the child that Izaya was. Still is. He was just now surrounded by walls, walls that he won't even let his twin come through. Which saddens her, but she won't give up on breaking those walls. It's an impossibility. For whatever he does, Natsu would always see the fragile little childish Izaya in him. Natsu admits she began to feel lonely after that event, when Izaya decided to start skipping school and the avoid seeing her all together.
Natsu then heard the door to the roof slam open, making Natsu slightly jump in surprise as she laid in the ground now facing the entrance/exit of the roof. There stood an irritated Shizuo, holding Shinra up by the collar with tears cascading down his face. Kadota stood behind them both, appearing exasperated with the both of them. Shizuo took notice of Natsu and dropped Shinra on the ground, causing him to yelp as he began to walk towards her.
"Oi, is it true that Shinra-kun forgot about you? We've been trying to find you for awhile because of his mistake."
Natsu looked up at Shizuo, seeing the annoyance in his features as he looked down at her waiting for an answer. Irritation clear on his face, not liking how they had to go looking to get her to start lunch. After all, they wouldn't start without her, Shizuo thought with childlike honesty to himself. Natsu glanced at the hurt Shinra and felt sympathy towards her friend.
"Well, he thought that I was behind him so I don't think it's entirely his fault."
Shizuo rose an eyebrow while Shinra gave her a grateful look behind him.
"What do you mean?"
Natsu's gaze softened at him, Shizuo looking at her calm eyes suddenly directed at him and she saw his tense shoulders relax slightly.
"I wasn't really paying attention and didn't realize it was time to go to lunch." Natsu answered honestly. Shizuo snorted. Kadota helping Shinra up and walking towards them in a slow even pace, for Shinra was making things dramatic over his fall to the ground. Which just made Shizuo shout at him to shut his mouth. Something that Kadota couldn't help but sigh and give Natsu an irritated look at what he's dealing with. And basically telling her that she has no idea what he's been through between these two as they tried to find her. It touched her heart, the fact that they went looking for her so they could start eating lunch together as a whole. Them not willing to start eating without her. Natsu gave a low chuckle at Kadota's look, oddly amused by the whole thing.
Everyone looked at her, her little chuckle catching everyone's attention. Even causing Shinra's dramatics to cease as he looked at her with furrowed brows. Kadota blinked in surprise with wide eyes. And Shizuo tilted his head, his expression holding innocent confusion.
"Hey, what's so funny?" Shizuo questioned defensively."And what were you thinking about anyway that made you almost miss lunch?"
Natsu looked at them, taking each and every one of their somewhat concerned and curious expressions. And couldn't help but let out a small smile at the warmth she suddenly felt in her chest.
"Oh you know," Natsu looked back towards the sky, spotting a bird flying to the horizon,"just the past."
What kind of person gets lonely with these kind of people around?
