"Such bad employ we have, dear Shinny-chan." Izaya stepped through the threshold to his chambers before blinking. A small grin began to form on his visage as he perceived the mood, "And we have an awakened Shizu-chan, well done. Well done!"

"Louse…" Shizuo moved to sit up and winced a bit. Indeed, his insides were still recovering. So much pain remained after that night, but he couldn't- wouldn't let the louse see him so weak.

"I must say, you are quite a great deal stronger than those before you, Shizu-chan. Normally we would be hog-tying and heaving you over the port side." He made a chucking motion with his hands, "just a nice heave ho over the edge. You could be swimming with fishes right now."

"Arrogant ass…"

"Oh now now, who do you think provided you with just such a grand doctor?" Izaya looked over at Shinra and shook his head, "Very ungrateful and after all that work you did to help him live."

"Perhaps he is more grateful than you realize," Shinra sat the blond up more and cupped the blond's face. "He is tired. Recovering has taken a large toll on him. His faith and confidence will take time to fully recover."

"Leave us, Shinra," the captain purred, moving forward.

"He's going to need at least a week's worth of bed rest before-"

"Leave~ us. Shinra." He moved forth, footsteps echoing a bit in the room. With each step forward, the doctor moved away.

"I will return within good time."

"You will return," the captain responded, "when I deem it necessary. Leave us, Shinra."

Shizuo watched him leave before his attention turned to the captain. He remained wary, eyes glued to the captain now.

"What fun we have, my dear Shizu-chan. You must inform me what it is like, to feel death upon your very being. To know what that fleeting moment is before you lose all consciousness. Did you see God? Ah, or was it another religion… Our western traders always speak of God. They somewhat have it in mind that we all do terrible things and need to start apo-"

"Go away."

"Ah, so hell then? How disappointing, has Shizu-chan been a terrible person? Was killing your fellow villagers such a damning incident?"

"I said leave!"

The captain undid the buttons of his coat though, grinning more as he sat down. "Such a sinful spirit. That's alright though, I forgive your sins and do not condemn you for them. I am your God after all."

The urge to hit the captain only grew stronger. The man was an asshole. Nothing more nothing less. He should kill him, slit the beast's throat.

"Oh look at that," a hand shot out, holding onto his chin as the man moved closer, crawling over his legs to straddle him, "such ire, over something so simple as a bit of teasing."

"You don't tease, you mock."

"Does it hurt, Shizu-chan?" Izaya tilted the blond's face in his hands, "oh… would you look at that, someone is not as pure as they seem. Brown hair, that would make more sense than that golden mess…" Something flickered within the eyes of the captain before Shizuo saw a glint. Golden color fell in front of his eyes before he froze. More fell, tumbling down into his lap. The captain's laugh ringing in his ears as more of his hair fell.

"Ah… and thus the blond monster is gone. All that remains is the fragile human." Izaya ruffled Shizuo's remaining hair. "On this ship, there are gods and there are servants. I am a god and soon enough, you will learn your place."

He pulled away, brushing some of the strands of hair from his clothing.

Shizuo could only sit there, unable to fully move. Not that he didn't try. He forced himself to sit up higher, to shuffle around as though to pursue the plague of a captain.

"Ah? And what is this?" Izaya smirked, "very impatient for another tumble in the sheets." As fast as Shizuo took in air, the captain was on him. The sheets were shoved to the ground.

But not this time; Shizuo wasn't going to let it be a repeated event. He snatched at the knife that was belted to Izaya's waist.

He was going to kill the captain before he was raped again.
