After exiting the courtroom, I sighed with relief. The case was over and the judge ruled in my favour. "Told her that she wasn't getting Psyche~". Shizuo nodded in agreement. He was quite fond of Psyche, though I think Psyche is even fonder of him. "I'm also going to be having Hibiya; the judge believes that Kaori isn't capable of taking care of children. I agree seeing as she didn't even want Psyche when he was a baby, who's to say she wouldn't end up leaving Hibiya with me too?" I never understood why she didn't want Psyche. I mean I'm one of those people who no one would think would ever be a parent. I could have put Psyche up for adoption, but as soon as I saw him I knew that I was going to take care of him myself. I left Ikebukuro to ensure I could look after him without having to worry that Shizu-chan would injure me during a daily chase. How could I look after a baby if I was injured?
"I'm glad you get to look after Psyche, Hibiya too. Kaori probably wouldn't let you see them if she had won." He was right, if she had won she probably would never let me see Psyche again, or Hibiya for the first time. So it's a good thing that I won then. "Well Celty is going to pick up Hibiya for me and bring him over. Wonder how Psyche will respond to finding out he has a brother." I was more worried on how Hibiya would react. Psyche would love to get along with Hibiya, but Psyche has grown up with me. Hibiya doesn't know me, Psyche or Shizuo. I hope he gets along with us fine. "I bet he will be over the moon about it. He's always happy so finding out he has a brother will make him even happier." I think Shizuo was also worrying about how Hibiya would fit in.
"What if he doesn't like me?" There we go; he's worried that he and Hibiya won't get along. "I can't see any child of mine disliking you. After all, I love you and Psyche adores Shi-chan~". The resulting blush on his face from me saying 'love' was adorable. He knows I love him but I don't say it all that often. "Heh, Shizu-chan is blushing~" After kissing his cheek, he blushed a little more. He's so cute at times and he doesn't realise it. Even psyche has pointed it out once or twice. Then a voice I have really come to hate these past few weeks was heard. "That's even worse, not only have you taken my babies from me, but you are gay as well?!" I couldn't help but sigh at that remark. I've always been gay, if she had tried to get to know me before sleeping with me when I was drunk then she would have known that. "Kaori, I didn't 'take' them. Psyche was already in my care and the judge asked me to have Hibiya as well. As for being gay, I always have been dear. ~" Now that remark didn't help her sour mood at all, but it got a chuckle out of Shizu-chan.
"As for that point you made earlier, about me possibly hurting Psyche? I'd never do such a thing. The day I lay a hand on a child is the day Izaya becomes stupid!" Now Shizu-chan's remark made me laugh. "At least we will take care of them, not dump one on someone else then want him back after four years". She scowled at my comment, though it's true. That's what she did with Psyche, who's to say she wouldn't do it with Hibiya as well? Next she protested that two men shouldn't be together. "Now Kaori, when have I ever cared about what I should or shouldn't do? In the past I was told constantly to leave Shizu-chan alone, or to get out of Ikebukuro. However He would still end up chasing me every day. ~" Shizuo nodded in agreement "Yeah, it works like reverse psychology, I tell him not to do something and he goes and does it anyway." He had a point there, but that's just what I'm like. Though I am a little surprised that Shizu-chan knew how reverse psychology worked. "We should get going Shizu-chan, Celty should be on her way with my son~" as I said this I couldn't help but smirk at Kaori, who did not look the least bit happy with me. As we turned to walk away I waved to her before holding Shizuo's hand.
While walking home, I noticed myself doing that walk of mine that many seem to have dubbed 'The Izaya walk'. I heard Shizu-chan chuckle a little "I missed that too." Now there's a surprise. I never would have thought that he would have noticed my walk, let alone missed it. "Ne, you seem to have paid more attention to me than I had previously thought~". I was intrigued to see a faint dusting of pink form on his cheeks. "Y-yeah…" and now I'm even more intrigued, Shizu-chan stuttered!
