Okay, so, I've had alot of headaches lately, caused by allergies, so everything I write is crap, and I kepp having to go back and fix it, so it takes longer to get a chapter out, so, from now on, I promise I won't go more than four days without posting a chapter, but I can't promise that I will post a new chapter every other day. Sorry! Thank you for reading!

Chapter 11

~OC's POV~

I woke up to Natsumi, staring at me. "What?" No response. "What?!" A smile suddenly spread across her face. "You two are so cute!" "Ugh…." She burst out laughing. "You really should have told me about this sooner, because now, you're not going to hear the end of it." "I'm sorry!" "Too late! Senritsu and Shizuo, sitting in a tree—!" I jumped up. "Don't you start!" "K-I-S-S—!" "Shut up!" I walked out to the balcony and started to climb onto the rail. "I'll do it!" "I-N-G!" Knowing it wouldn't really hurt me, I jumped, prepared to land on my feet. Instead, I fell into someone's arms. I squealed. "Calm down. Hmm…you're lighter than you look." Izaya. I tried to wiggle out of his arms. "Let go of me!" "Alright." He dropped me. Because of the angle he had been holding me, I fell on my back. "Ah!" "Woops."

"Senritsu!" Natsumi yelled down from the balcony. When she saw Izaya, her eyes got wide, and she ran back into the apartment. A few minutes later, She burst thought the doors to the apartment building and ran to me. "Are you okay?!" "I'm fine." She helped me to my feet. I turned to Izaya. "What do you want, Izaya?" "You ran from me earlier." I looked away. "I don't know what you're talking about." He put his finger under my chin and turned my head to look at him again. "Don't lie." I jerked my head away. "You want to keep that finger?" He laughed and dropped his hand. "I heard what you told Shizuo. Thanks for that, by the way, now he wants to kill me even more." I smiled. "It was my pleasure making your life just a bit more difficult." "You're lying to him." "No I'm not. I told him you kissed me, which is true." "What?!" Natsumi yelled. "Who else have you kissed since you've been here?!" "He kissed me." "You enjoyed it." I scrunched up my face. "Ew…." He grimaced. "Anyway, you told him only part of the truth." I looked at Natsumi, then back at him. "Shut up." "Make me." Then in the distance I heard, "IZAYA!" Izaya closed his eyes and sighed, frustrated. "Great." There were no more words. Just the fighting I had gotten used to when Izaya and Shizuo were near each other. Shizuo attacked Izaya with a street sign, Izaya dodged, said a few sly comments, and pissed Shizuo off even more. It was really starting to get old.

Meanwhile, Natsumi looked like she was about to piss herself. "Oh, calm down. At least Shizuo's not mad at you. Then you should be afraid." "But-but, this shouldn't be physically possible!" I watched a dumpster fly by us. "Well, you've got me there." "Can you stop him?!" I thought about that. "I don't really know." I slowly walked between them. Shizuo, who had been running at Izaya with another sign, stopped abruptly and yelled, "What are you doing?! Get out of the way!" I walked to him. "Don't waste your time on Izaya. All he's doing is trying to make you angry. Don't give him the satisfaction." "But…." He looked behind me at Izaya, and then looked back at me. He dropped the sign, and grabbed me. "Let's go, then." We walked back inside. (I grabbed Natsumi's hand as we walked by, and dragged her in with us.)

"Thank you for stopping me," Shizuo whispered. "You're welcome." When we reached the stairs, I stared to climb them, but a sharp pain ran up my spine, and I screamed, and started to fall. "Senritsu!" Shizuo caught me right before I passed out from the pain.

~Shizuo's POV~

I laid Senritsu on the futon in her apartment. "What happened to her?" I asked Natsumi. "Well, um, I was teasing her about, um, well, you, and she jumped off the balcony—," "She did what?!" Natsumi jumped. "She would have been fine! I think Izaya did something, because it was a while before she screamed, and I ran out on the balcony to see what happened. She was on the ground in front of Izaya. It looked like she had fallen on her back." "I think we should get her to the hospital." "That might be a bad idea." "Why?" "Senritsu is terrified of hospitals. Maybe we should try to wake her up first." "How?"

Natsumi walked to the kitchen sink and turned it on, cupping her hands, and filling them with water, then walked back to us and dumped the water on Senritsu's face. "What are you—?!" Senritsu started coughing. "What was that?!" she yelled when the coughing subsided. Natsumi answered, "I was trying to wake you up." "By pouring water on me?!" "It worked, didn't it?!" "It got up my nose!" "Would you to shut up?!" I yelled. They stopped talking and looked at me. "What happened to you?" Senritsu looked down. "I…erm…fell." "I already know you jumped off of the balcony." Her head shot up. "How?!" "Natsumi told me." She looked at Natsumi. "Thanks a lot." Natsumi started to defend herself, but I cut her off, saying, "You and I will have a talk about that later. What happened after you jumped?" "Izaya caught me, and when I told him to let go of me, he dropped me on my back." "Did it hit your spine?" "No. Really, I'm fine. I'm just going to have a bruise, and a limp for a while." "Are you sure? Because I can take you to a hospital—," "No!" She sat straight up and winced. "No, no hospital. I'll be fine."

She was clutching her back. "Here, turn around, let me see." She turned and lifted her shirt up on the side. I could already see a dark bruise forming. "If it starts hurting worse, let me know." She turned to look at me. "How? I don't have your phone number, and I don't know where you live." Do you have some paper and a pen?" She pointed to the dresser, where I found a notebook and a pen with a little cat on the tip. I wrote my phone number on a blank sheet, and tore it out and handed it to her. "There. I'm going to go get you some pain meds. I'll be back soon." I kissed her forehead, stood up, and started to leave. "And, by the way," I turned back, "don't let anyone but me in."
