-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

After the 'Beautiful Shizuo' incident, Shizuo's and Natsu's relationship grew closer. Which Natsu was happy for, cause she can look at him more now. As well as getting closer looks, thanks to the discovery of Russian Sushi. Of course, Shizuo, still wasn't used to it. He didn't gruffly tell her to stop looking at him anymore, but, he did ask her with exasperated eyes. At times, when Natsu felt like it, she'd just stare at him with no response or give him a quiet 'no'. This caused Shizuo to be irked(always, Natsu thought with amusement) and he'd grab the top of her head with his strong hands.

Natsu believes that one time he lifted her from her head to bring her closer to his annoyed face, with her just continuing to give her customary blank stare back. Which just made Shizuo more annoyed on how he deliberately brought her closer to his face. Although, that event caught her off guard. She's surprised her head didn't pop from the necessary force to be lifted up from the head. But it seemed that Shizuo has great control of his strength. And Natsu continues to hope that she isn't becoming like Izaya when it came to teasing, that will be bad.

Even at the end of their freshmen year, gangsters came to fight Shizuo. He just blew them away. Literally. And now they were already in their second month of their sophomore year.

But during this time, Natsu has increasingly become more and more worried about Izaya. Where he is and been, as well as what he's been doing.

One time at the roof, Shizuo sported injuries, most possibly from a fight. But it was from none other then Izaya, if Shizuo's words had anything to do with it. 'Flea', 'Bastard', as well as Shizuo's mantra of 'Korosu, korosu, korosu, korosu'(kill,kill,kill,kill). Natsu walked up to Shizuo and crouched next to him as Shinra was working on his injuries with the small med kit he took with him to school. Kadota not here at the moment, probably dealing with his own problems, for Natsu knew that Kadota was a mild delinquent but still did his work.

"Shizuo, when did you see him?"

Shizuo let out a growl.

"Like hell I remember, but I'll kill him the next time I see him."

Natsu frowned, her hand then coming on top of his shoulder and gripped tightly.

Shizuo momentarily stopped to glance at her, which caused him to pause and stare at her face. Her brows were furrowed down in worry, as well a deep frown on her face, clearly she was in distress over Izaya.

Shinra noticed as well, for he then questioned her on why she was asking.

"I haven't seen him since the first three months of our freshmen year." Natsu answered with downcast eyes. Both of their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Not even at home?"

Natsu shook her head, her worry clearly showing throughout her face as well as body language.

"I think..." Shizuo spoke up with a gruff voice, his face holding a concentrated look.

"I think I saw him about two hours ago, by the courtyard."

Natsu sent him a grateful look, as much as she could anyway. Which was her brows relaxing and a twinge of a small smile on her face. Her head then lowered again.

"I think he's already gone by now though. I've tried looking for him everywhere. When Izaya doesn't want to be found, there's no way of finding him." It was true, for no matter how many times she asked her classmates about his whereabouts, he would seem to disappear from said location. Which just caused Natsu's worry to grow, as well as frustration.

"Like HELL there isn't!" Shizuo yelled out, his face twisted in anger. Shinra and Natsu looked at him with slight widened eyes, not expecting for his rage to come full force again.

"What kind of brother leaves his sibling alone?! That's it!" Shizuo swiftly got up, causing some of Shinra's unfinished handiwork to fall on the ground which made Shinra yelp in surprise as some tools fell on top of him.

"I'm going to look for the bastard! I'll drag him here either he wants to or not." Shizuo yelled, already walking towards the exit of the roof. He then felt a hand on his arm, glancing down, he saw Natsu. She made eye contact, seeming to be telling him something with her blank eyes.

Shizuo grunted and turned his head back around.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Bring him in one piece." Natsu gave him a grateful nod towards him, Shizuo seeing it in the corner of his eye, and released him.

Shizuo then walked out the door, with resolve and angry determination in his eyes.

Natsu stared at the door for a few moments until she continued to hear Shinra's yelps of pain.

"Tuna-chan! Help me, I have surgical tools stuck in my hair. I think they have blood on them!"

And so with a mild twitch of the eyebrow because of the nickname, she did her best with taking out the tools out of Shinra's hair. Internally hoping to herself that Shizuo will succeed and Natsu would be able to see her twin. Shinra took a small glance at her, when he didn't look away Natsu momentarily stopped trying to get the tools off his hair. And instead lifted an eyebrow in question. Shinra then gave her a comforting smile, those smiles that only Shinra can pull off that can put anyone at ease.

"Don't worry. We'll find him."

And with those words, Natsu's eyes slightly sparkled with hope, and gave a grateful nod to Shinra with a small hint of a smile on her face. Shinra's smile widened, but then quickly turned to a pained scowl when Natsu accidentally yanked his hair with the surgical tool.

"Ow! Tuna-chan that—ow!"

Shinra doesn't think the second yank was accidental. She really doesn't like the nickname. But all Natsu could think about how she had people by her to help her. Good people, who had each others back. Now all she had to do was help to find her twin, someone she desperately wants to see.

It wasn't until later she received a phone call at home a day or so after though, that she found out what happened to Izaya.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Shizuo's POV

Shizuo was honestly in a loss.

Here he was, frantically looking for his worst enemy in the city of Ikebukuro while he would normally want to stay away from him as much as possible. All for the blank faced girl that he met last school year, who was named Natsu. Shizuo felt a mix of emotions when he first met the girl who stopped his punch to Izaya the day he met him. At first it was shock, when he looked blankly above him, that was all he felt. For someone stopped his punch, which was full force, he wasn't holding back at all. So you could say Shizuo was in a daze of confusion and shock.

Then, he heard a soothing voice, along with a pale hand. Waiting for his to connect them together to help him up. Shizuo's anger was gone, instead, he was calm, but still held the shock within him as he asked what she was for her to stop him. She only blinked blankly at him(like a child), then answered his question, quite honestly and humbly. That she was a human as much as he was.

It touched something in Shizuo, when he heard her say that to him. Also at the fact she didn't treat him like a monster like everybody else around him. Izaya's presence ruined it though, the way the flea said things in a mocking tone made him pissed. But she stopped him again, her voice trying to sooth his anger.

It worked. For awhile.

Then he found out she was related to the obnoxious flea, which surprised him. A lot. And he also got a better read on how she was, which was just having a neutral tone of voice, as well as expression. It made Shizuo's eyes twitch on how she seemed to ignore him when she was in her mind scape. Afterwords, when he discovered he hurt her, badly, because of his strength. Shizuo felt extreme guilt, as well as inner hatred for himself. Thinking that he proved the girl wrong, that he wasn't human like she was. That he truly was a monster. But then her words and smile of comfort made him forget. He was calm again, as well as relieved. Relieved at the fact that there are people like her. Him seeming to ignore everyone else around them, with their shocked and wide eyed expressions at what was going on between him and the girl.

Of course, then the stares came. When they were eating lunch with Shinra and later Kadota. When they walked to their classrooms. Every chance she got, she stared. It wasn't of fear though, Shizuo didn't really know what to call it. It wasn't like the excited gleam that Shinra had when he fought, as well as when he wanted to experiment on him. It was...something else. It was like...

'Awe.'

She seemed to be at awe with him, but not just his strength, everything about him. She'd just stare. The blank look she had still on her face, but it held awe within her brown orbs.

But it wasn't just that that he saw from her, when he asked for her name earlier on, mistaking it for 'Tuna'(probably because of how she always blinked blankly like a fish), another expression came over. Mild annoyance as well as exasperation. It sort of surprised him, that she had other expressions besides that dead fish face she had on always, minus the minuscule smile he saw from her the day they met. But really, those stares she gave him creeped him out sometimes. He discovered later that she, Natsu he learned, had a sense of humor. Which involved him; liking to annoy him. But, he never minded that much, Natsu never went overboard like with her twin. So he never felt himself snap, at least, not physically. She also seemed to start to gradually tease him, sometimes even staring at him more closely then necessary. Shizuo couldn't help but blush like an idiot because of her close face, he's not used to girls getting close to him like that. Hell, no one gets close to him like that. Who'd get close to a guy that has the strength to kill a thousand men anyway?

'She does.' Shizuo thought back, correcting himself of the obvious mistake.

Natsu then called him beautiful.

A beautiful human being, too pure for this world.

Shizuo wasn't sure if it was what she said or her facial expression when she said it, but it made him blush. No one-not ever-has called him that before. Not even his parents. The way she said it as well, that soothing voice she had when she talked, and her soft coffee colored eyes looking at him serenely. Shizuo wanted the moment to last, where she looked at him with those eyes, and where he didn't want to go back to the world that feared him.

But Shinra came and ruined it.

Now, here he is.

Helping his friend that was worried about her annoying flea of a brother, Izaya. He'd never understand how she can put up with him. Then again, Shizuo didn't really understand how his brother, Kasuka, put up with him either. Shizuo already tried asking a few people on the street, some of them giving him attitude. Which caused a few stop signs to be picked up and thrown. He had no time for such people, Shizuo was getting impatient. And the prospect of trying to find Izaya didn't help either. He was walking through the streets of the now dark Ikebukuro; already night time-passing the sushi place that opened last year called 'Russian Sushi'. Shizuo ignored the dark hand with a flyer that came to his side and kept walking, his shoulders and face slouched in annoyance, hands in his pockets.

Despite him seeing Izaya almost every day, which in turn made him annoyed every day, it seemed he didn't want to be found.

Which was bullshit.

It was just yesterday he told Natsu that he and Izaya fought, but now it seemed the bastard disappeared off the face of the earth.

"Tch."

Shizuo grunted, his limited patience was wearing thin. Maybe he'll just continue looking for the obnoxious flea tomorrow morning, Saturday. Shizuo suddenly felt a push to the shoulder by someone, momentarily stopping his movement.

"Ah, sorry."

Shizuo, still deciding whether he should continue searching for his worried friend, ignored the person, only grumbling out a 'It's fine' and took a step to go back home. The person then let out a familiar, very familiar, nauseating annoying flea-like giggle. Shizuo turned around, to see a running leather jacket wearing guy running away from him.

Shizuo snapped into action.

"IIIIIIIIIIZAAAAAYAAAAA-KUUUN!"

Shizuo began chasing after the little flea through the streets of Ikebukuro, knocking down oblivious people out of the way, not caring. Just wanting to grab that little bastards neck and throw him in front of his twin. Shizuo came to a sudden stop, momentarily losing Izaya in the crowd.

"III-ZAAA-YAAA-KUUUN!"

Shizuo shouted up towards the sky in a rage, he was so close. So close to the annoying flea, and now he's lost him. Shizuo then caught a figure wearing the trademark leather jacket running towards an alley.

"You aren't getting away from me!"

He ran towards the dark alley, not caring how nobody of average standing would usually stay from such places. Shizuo wasn't normal after all. When Shizuo was in front of the entrance to the alley-he paused.

There was the flea, getting dragged into a suspicious van by two dark figures, appearing unconscious.

"Oi! What the hell are you doing?"

The figures merely glanced at Shizuo, then one suddenly took something out of his pocket, appearing like a grenade.

"Oi-" The figure threw to the ground towards Shizuo, gas coming out of it, which even made Shizuo's eyes water and his lungs cough in pain. Tear gas. Shizuo heard the van's engine turn up and then slowly getting farther and farther away, exiting out of the other end of the alley.

It took Shizuo a few moments to catch his breath from the horrible gas that he realized that Izaya was kidnapped.

.

.

.

Well...that happened. :/

Uhhhhhhhhhm...yeah.

So, uh, yeah. Things are about to get...dramatic.

ANYWAYS! XD MOVING ON FROM THAT!

I hope you guys saw and observed how Natsu's and Shizuo's relationship got considerably closer. Like how Shizuo was now aware on how much Natsu cares for her brother, so he answered to the best if his ability on where he last saw him.

As well as getting pissed on how horrible of a brother Izaya is. He even independently volunteered to try to FIND Izaya. FIND Izaya, I don't think Shizuo will normally ever do that. And that timehe DID try to find Izaya was during the Saika Arc when he wanted to know if he was behind everything in his town.

But this was different, he's trying to find Izaya for NATSU'S sake. Not the towns. I hope you guys were able to connect all of this. As well on the silent conversation between them when she stopped him, and he immediately understood.

I just wanted to say this just in case some people didn't see it, or if I portrayed how they got closer well.

ANYWAYS!
