There is this fucking law in our country that prohibits uploading materials over the net. I might be really stalling after some time. Oh beloved country, why do you have to suffer under such bad governance? Taking away Internet from the people of...
UGH!

With Tom Tanaka revealed to be not just an average dorm head, more secrets begin to creep along the hallways of Raira Academy. However, with the events just ending and with the academy enduring much, school days should be set aside for now.
Between the two of them sprouted a vow long ago… but it is just now that Izaya gets to remember about it. However, it could have been too late for him to keep both his promises to Shizuo… to love him and to love him truly which are synonymous one way or the other.
And now, Izaya's gone after sacrificing himself… no, not for the people of Ikebukuro. The city will start to rise again and get back its old strength to continue existing. However, someone might not be able to walk with the city's spirit.
Shizuo's been crying within him… and no one else can heal his shattered heart.

Nothing else matters other than fun and promiscuity.

"Here, please eat."
"Thank you very much."
As part of Ikebukuro's contingency plan, Raira Academy and other still-usable schools have to shelter the people who have nothing left. The surviving and free students are obliged to help in the ration distribution of goods for the people. Celty, Shinra, Mikado, Masaomi, and the other students are attending to their tasks.
Vorona and some more exorcists are requested to stay with the new quarters of the Order for the mean time.
Most students are still chattering about the sudden crisis that has hit their big city. Everyone is still hoping for finding the missing people more likely the people they know.
Izaya's disappearance is also one of the hottest topics among their classmates. Gossipers do know that for three days now, Shizuo hasn't been going out of his own room… occasionally seen crying soundlessly within. Just like their daily habit, they do associate the absence of his 'boyfriend' to his case.
"I can't believe they're still at it." Celty sighs, "With everything and stuff."
"Gossipers are gossipers. There's nothing we can do." Shinra speaks as he helps Celty with the blankets to be distributed by someone else.
"Speaking of which… Shizuo-kun is making me worry. He hasn't been eating or saying anything for three days now."
"He's trying to be strong… I guess. But if I were to lose you, Celty, I wouldn't know if I can last three days without attempting to kill myself."
"More like he's just waiting for himself to die." Masaomi whispers and then Mikado argues with a whisper, "Masaomi…"
"That's scary. I hope it's not what is going on in Shizuo-kun's head."
"I can't believe Izaya has done that." Masaomi whispers, everyone feeling depressed as well… as if they know what he really means.
"…" From a distance, Vorona watches them walk and discuss with soft voices. After having their daily meetings dismissed earlier than usual, she just wanted to apologize to Shizuo the most. But her words will not go through… especially in his state.
In his own room lies Shizuo stomach-flat at his bed. His head is tilted so that one of his sore eyes can be seen… an eye that is already tired from all of its crying that cannot change anything… "I… Izaya."

Chapter 11: That Kid Back Then
…
Three days ago, seconds after Izaya disappears…
"Shizu-chan, don't cry… okay?"
He swears he heard Izaya called him for the last time during the kiss… the last moment he will ever hear his beloved's voice again.
"Izaya…"
The broken heart starts to cry within loudly to an extent that he collapses to the ground. Masaomi and Vorona then run to him with the blonde exorcist yelling out loud, "Shizuo-san!"
She then brings Shizuo closer to her only to find him unconscious. Too much pain has caused him to hyperventilate and rest already. But the flaring sadness within his soul never died.
They then bring him to the Girl's Dorm where everyone is waiting for anyone. Celty and Shinra have taken him somewhere he can rest and where they can freely talk about things… just like Izaya's death.
The group then falls into absolute silence as the fact that Izaya's gone sinks in. Vorona then starts and keeps on apologizing to them… with the whole party knowing that even those words will be worthless for the blond.
Celty then begins stroking at Shizuo's hair, "Will he… no, when is he going to be alright?"
"I don't know, Celty. Shizuo never cared for someone so bad other than his brother." Shinra answers… failing to keep Celty from worrying for her friend. He then looks at Masaomi who is also feeling bad… them knowing that Masaomi did know Izaya for so long. Then a gold streak of light goes in the room and then behind the door. Everyone else pins their eyes at the door but then Masaomi speaks…
"Tell me you're feeling equally guilty."
"He should have resorted to something else." After putting on the clothes she has brought with her, a woman then walks out from behind the door… Vorona clearly pinpointing her race, "You're… a kitsune."
"Izaya's maidservant, gofer, runner, etc…" She answers as she makes her way towards them, "You can call me Namie. I didn't really come here to sympathize with your loss."
"You're going to ask me what I will do now? Is that it?" Masaomi speaks but then she flicks her long off her shoulders, "Wrong, too. I just came to know the reason as to why Izaya did not just seal the two brats like before."
"Maybe probably he doesn't trust you anymore. You run an errand for his sisters, didn't you?"
"I… I didn't know they are really trying to make the Order neutralize Izaya! Those fuck— I mean, those girls are way too cunning than their brother!"
Masaomi then renders her arguments invalid with hand gestures and then she looks at Shizuo who is lying unconscious near Celty. She walks up to him with the Dullahan eyeing at her. The kitsune touches the blond and then she… takes hold of the broken red thread that Izaya saw earlier that day. Masaomi notices her actions… making him gasp.
Namie squints and grunts… "Now I know. He's that kid back then." She smiles… as the blond starts to regain consciousness.
"Shizuo!" They all call for him but then he stares first at Namie who is smiling at him…
"That time rift has thrown you quite too far, huh? Where's your brother?"
"No way!" Masaomi gets up and stares at the red thread Namie is holding, "Seriously?"
"…Have we met somewhere before, miss?"
"Yep…" She smiles more as Masaomi stares at him as well, "If my memory serves me right… it was seven hundred years ago."

"Masaomi~!" Izaya calls on him and then the Inugami huffs as he answers, "What is it, Izaya?"
"Aren't you tired of destroying villages?" The brunet kitsune chirps around the annoyed Inugami with his seven tails soon blocking Masaomi's sight, "Neh? Neh? Neh? Neh?"
"I thought you wanted to be the next nine-tailed fox and rule all of Yomi?"
"…I already dropped the thought."
"?!" Masaomi then steps on one of Izaya's tails intentionally as he starts yelling at him, "WHAT?! Then what have we been doing for you all this time?!"
"Psh. Be quiet, Masaomi." Izaya then sits down after wincing for his poor tail, "It's actually tiring… and it's starting to feel bad."
"A demon with a conscience?"
"Nope, I just feel awesomely bored now."
"Iza-nii!" "Izaya-nii-san!" His sisters then come around with three tails sprouting from their butts… each cuddling Izaya from either side. Masaomi squints at them and then Namie comes in as well, one sole tail swaying behind her like how Masaomi's thin tail does. Izaya then chuckles and sits down the cushion with his sisters, "Hey, hey! Listen to your older brother, Mairu, Kururi! Listen to your master, Namie, Masaomi!"
"Like fuck you're my master." Masaomi whispers… despite the fact that he has been serving him quite for some time.
"I want a more peaceful life from now on! No more killing! No more destruction! We can simply live off from what our minions are serving us! (Like how the other fat-ass Inugamis are doing.)"
"What?! You can't do that, Iza-nii!" "Absolutely!"
"We need an explanation. (An insult to my race is uncalled for.)"
"Do what you like."
"Eh?! Why are you two so disappointed? Don't you want to refrain from a very boring activity?"
Mairu and Kururi get off from his sides and then the younger one yells, "Iza-nii! Don't you want to be the new nine-tailed kitsune anymore?"
"Yep."
"Yomi god?! (How about becoming the God of Yomi?!)"
"Not interested anymore."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" The two screams and then they protest at him, "Why not anymore?!" Mairu then twitches and she smirks bigger, "That simply means you don't want your power anymore." Kururi pulls back and agrees with the question.
Izaya twists his lips and then he points at Namie and Masaomi, "Losing my power might mean losing minions. If so, I would just ask Namie and Masaomi to get food for us."
"As long as you keep Seiji away from danger." "I'm not your runner!"
"That's settled!" Mairu yells and then she sits at Izaya's lap, her face nearing to his brother's, "We can have it then!"
"…No." With his smile turning into a pout, he uses a tail to take her off and put her at the floor, "This power is too hard to wield and control. You're going to lose yourselves if I give it to you girls. (Considering what you two are made of.)"
"You can't just let it go idle!" Mairu continues to argue but then Izaya puts a tail in her mouth, "Yes, I can. I'm not doing anything starting from this very moment." He pulls out his tail and she chokes some fur out of her mouth.
"Fine. (It's fine then.) Self! (We'll become nine-tails ourselves!)"
"Don't dare, you two." Izaya glares at them but the two girls run off the room. The eldest of the siblings then holds his forehead, "Why don't they just listen to me when I tell them?"
"Why are you planning to do then?" Namie asks and then the guy hums… "Of course, I'm going to stop them." He then walks away while waving goodbye to the two servants, "I'm not going to let them get corrupted by such thing like this."
"Hey, Izaya." Izaya turns to the Inugami, "What exactly made you change your mind?"
"…a human."

"You are… insane." Namie speaks as they reach the house Izaya leads them to… as they hide themselves in plain sight. Masaomi then picks up a baby from a crib that is near a blood pool, "You're supposed to kill everyone in this village, right?"
"But I didn't…" Izaya picks up a boy that has been staring at him for a whole while. He smiles and carries the boy like how toddlers should be, the boy loving the embrace, "Masaomi, bring the baby."
The three then proceed walking to the plaza with the children… during the first night the village has after the attack of the fox demon. Mairu and Kururi are waiting for them… skyward grins embracing their faces.
"Mairu, start a barrier to keep the people from running. You would have to eat a lot once you have your fair share of my tails."
"Yaho!" An invisible barrier shrouds the whole village… the villagers completely oblivious of their fate.
"Namie, hold him while I open a time rift."
"A time rift?"
"Yep. I'm sending them years to the future."
"How many years?" Masaomi strokes at the sleeping baby's face and then Izaya smirks, "I don't know. A century or so."
Namie then stares at the boy's face… stinging feeling of pleading evident in his eyes, "He's supposed to be talking already, right?"
"He's mute. But the aftereffects of the time rift might make him able to speak. It might do something else to do them, too…" He then cups his hand at the boy's head, "Sorry for that, though."
The boy starts reaching for Izaya's hand… as the villagers start screaming as a vortex starts opening at the top of the fountain. Izaya then touches the boy's chest and then the baby's… having a red thread connect them together, "There. It might break after the travel but it'll guarantee that you two will be in the same time."
"It's ready…" Masaomi speaks and then Izaya takes the boy from Namie… the kitsune's usual malicious eyes gleaming so kind and gentle at the boy's hazel ones. The guy then bitterly grins as the child starts to cry silently… his little hands reaching for Izaya's face, "Yeah, there's no way for me to know your name. But I'm sure we'll see each other again." He then pulls him closer for a hug and before kissing the boy's forehead. He then slowly lifts him up to be engulfed by the vortex along with his baby brother…
"Don't be sad. When we meet again, I owe you the greatest thing humans give. I owe you some love."
With a final gasp, the boy and the baby get engulfed by the time rift… and they watch it close.
"Izaya… the people are getting very noisy. What are we supposed to do here anyway?" Namie sighs and then Izaya instructs them, "Get away from us. It might be dangerous for you." He smirks with a bitter expression, "I'll be giving them my power… equally divided. Now, go."
Masaomi and Namie then look at one another and then they take on their demon forms to fly away from the place. Izaya takes a deep breath and looks at his sisters… who are anticipating the promise.
A spiritual barrier then builds up around the village… Izaya then apologizing to his sisters, "My, you two are so gullible. That's why I don't want to give my tails to you."
A very strange and bright light explodes in the whole place… disintegrating everything within Izaya's humungous spiritual barrier. Masaomi and Namie are far enough to be not hit… yet they feel something is wrong inside the circle. As the light vanishes… a large crater has marked where the village is supposed to be. Izaya and his sisters are standing in the middle… the brother smirking victorious at the other two.
"Izaya!" Masaomi dashes towards them with Namie following suit. He then notices the heaviest punishment Izaya has given his sisters… "W… Where are your other tails?"
"Sealed. I sealed my power along with theirs. We're just normal fox demons from now on. But I can still protect Seiji… don't worry, Namie."
"Iza-nii! You liar!" "Powerless! (I feel so powerless!)" The two once called killer princesses gloom over the loss of their powers…
"Ah, be quiet." Izaya then smiles and looks around the vast damaged land… "Soon, he will be here again and I will be paying what I owe that kid. Until then, I will wait for him." He then goes on ahead, "So what kind of house do you guys like to have?"
