I woke up early in the morning, immediately noticing that Izaya was still fast asleep next to me. I watched him carefully, inspecting for any little clue that would prove he was really awake and just tricking me, but I found nothing. I sighed softly and got up as quietly as possible, trying to keep him asleep for as long as I could. Once I had gotten up without incident, I went to the bathroom, changing out of my pyjamas when I'd come back out.

Izaya was still sleeping, so I crawled back into the bed and watched him a little longer, eventually falling back asleep myself. When I woke up again, it was to find breakfast already in the room, but Izaya still sleeping next to me.

He must have a note on the account for breakfast at a certain time…

I smiled to myself and closed my eyes for a moment, expecting him to sleep on for a little while longer. It really shocked me when, a few seconds after closing my eyes, Izaya spoke, loud and clear.

"Don't go away…" he said, rolling over slightly. My eyes snapped open and I stared blankly at the sleeping information broker, trying to process what had just happened. Once my mind had completely wrapped around the incident, I started to get out of bed again and was shocked for the second time that morning when Izaya locked his arms firmly around my waist and said "No, don't go!"

I fell right back into the pillows at that point and couldn't figure out if he was just joking with me or if he was really still asleep. The question wasn't answered entirely until he rolled back over and sat up finally, looking back at me and yawning hugely. "Morning, Masaomi…" he said, standing up and going into the bathroom.

I stared after him for a moment, mouth agape, and was still staring when he came back out, which pulled a smirk to his lips. "What, are you lusting after me again already Masaomi? Shouldn't you know by now that you don't need to ask on this trip?"

"Shut up." I spat back, quickly regaining my composure while retaining the desire to know what the Hell the sleep-talking was about.

Izaya just smiled and went to sit at the small table to devour his breakfast, which had probably gotten cold already, but what did I care?

"You are, aren't you Kida-kun? Come on, you don't have to lie to me…" Izaya spoke, that grin still firmly in place on his face, and I just snapped.

"You know something Izaya? You might think you've 'helped me' through all of this, but you really haven't. The only thing you can claim is that you paid for my surgeries. THAT'S ALL YOU DID. SO maybe you should just get over yourself and leave me the fuck alone!" I shouted, storming out of the room and slamming the door behind me.

I wasn't really sure where I was going or even where I could go, but I left the hotel anyway, not really wanting to be anywhere near the brunette information broker.

A few hours went by and I was still on my own when a couple of guys came up to me. "Hey, what's goin' on?" one of them said. I smiled brightly and stood up to face them.

"Not much. I was just bored so I came out here." I said.

The second guy grinned mischievously. "Wanna hang out with us for a while?"

"I guess so… I mean… I'm not doing anything else…" I speak slowly and deliberately, trying to sound like I know exactly what I'm doing while really wondering what the Hell is going on.

I stand up and look at the two guys carefully before following them out of the park I'd wandered into. The take me down the street and, before I know what's going on, I get shoved into the back of their car and locked in.

They drove for a long time, completely ignoring me until they got us to wherever they were taking me. Once there, they dragged me out of the car and restrained me before I could run away. They pulled me into this really big building and shut the door behind us. "So, that guy you're with is really rich, isn't he?" one of them asked me. I glared at him.

"I'm not with any guy!" I spat, hoping to make them think they'd gotten the wrong person.

"You are. We've seen you two…" the other guy pipes in, smiling broadly.

"You're always together… Never have been able to get you apart…"

"Until now that is." Both of them smile broadly, showing their teeth, and I know I'm in some serious shit.

Damnit… Can't anything ever go right!
