ஜ Chapter 14: WHY?! ஜ
-Izumi´s point of view.-
No mistake- the second the silver caught her eyes the woman knew what was going on-
The chains clicked, came off, and Izumi turned around, her expression way beyond furious-
"YOU!" Saya had been standing right behind her the whole time, knowing very well what she had done. She had watched the scene, she knew that Izaya was trying to unlock Shizuo´s chains- and now he had succeeded.
Tears were slithering down her cheeks as she for the first time showed an expression as she glared at the woman.
"I once had a sister. She died in an accident," she said with trembling lips, he little fists tightened. She had seen the game, she had looked at the tape, she didn´t even know those two girls were his sisters but when she realized that fact...
"His sister didn´t do anything wrong." This wasn´t what she agreed to-
Even if it was Izumi she was talking to-
"What you did wasn´t right-!" A choking sound left her throat as it got constricted by the woman´s hands. She had approached the girl, the expression on her face nowhere near sane anymore.
The girl hit Izumi, she kicked her, tried to get the hands of her neck, but no chance- harder and harder the pressed down on her throat, efficiently cutting off all air.
For a few more second she flinched, struggled.
Until her arms limply slipped off the woman´s hands.
The woman let go, Says dropping to the floor as she returned to the screens.
"Now you can follow that stupid sister of his if you want that bad."
-Shizuo´s point of view.-
The chains-
They were off-!
His eyes were wide as he stared at the flea- he had fucking got them off- now they could get out of here! He couldn't believe the flea actually did it- where did he even get... whatever he just used to open them!
Just how-
"Shizu-chan!" snapping his head up he saw the door to their room open, the very familiar two gorillas were entering the scene- the blond thought they were going to be stupid and try to actually chain him back up or fight with hi like countless idiots in Ikebukuro used to, thinking they were stronger than him after all- but no.
They were heading for Izaya-
Incredible rage suddenly filled his veins and he pulled the flea back by his wrist, maybe a tad too violent, but for now he was just focused on these two-
These two assholes-
They caught him, they gave him some weird drug to trap him in here, they dragged his friends into this, and they hurt Izaya so many times- tortured him, almost let him die!
Usually the blond hated to use violence, he hated to have this strength he had, but right now he couldn´t ask for anything better-
The guys didn´t even have enough time to realize they were doomed when the raging bulla approached them. A fist flew into the first guy´s face, bones cracking was to be heard and blood dripped from his nose and mouth as he got sent flying backwards through the wall-
The other seemed to be about to run away after seeing this show of strength, but too late- the same fate met him as he crashed with his back into the glass door, destroying it completely. The blond heaved only getting more and more pissed about this entire place- but now, now he was free, he would get them all out of here and make them pay for what they did!
It was then that the sound of loud sirens reached his ears probably telling everyone in this shitty building that something didn´t go as they had planned.
"Shizu-chan, hold still-" a sudden stinging pain in the back of his neck made the blond cringe- did Izaya just stab him?! But strange enough he did as the raven said-
He turned around only after what he expected to be a knife left his skin and glared at the flea.
"What the hell was that for?!" It was when he spotted a tiny silver looking shiny but also bloody object in the raven´s palm that he realized what he just did.
The flea didn´t even bother to explain as he turned around quick, pushing the little knife into Shizuo´s palm.
"Mine too!" it was the weird computer chip that always sent them into this game-
Izaya had taken it out!
The blond tightened his grip on the blade and even rose it to the flea´s neck as he turned around- but...
He hesitated, having that wound, still covered with bloody crusts in front of him-
He couldn´t do this-
There was no way he could do that sort of thing without killing Izaya- just cutting into the neck like that- he was amazed Izaya could do that sort of thing so damn quick and precise ion the first place, but him?
"Are you kidding? I will end up killing you accidentally!" he frowned, lowering the blade. He couldn´t do this- the raven turned around, Shizuo expected him to be annoyed or angry, but instead he wore an expression that only made the blond even more angry-
"… but then they will just kill me in the game instead." Izaya looked scared-
Shit- he really couldn´t do this-!
Grabbing the flea´s wrist he just dragged him after, not wasting any time to explain as he ran out of that door.
"If they activate it I will drag your sorry ass out of here so just run!" They just had to be fast enough, right? They just had to find someone the rest of his friends that were trapped in here, he bet anyone could do this better than him- so no matter who it was once they found someone they could cut that shit out-!
Tightening his grip on the flea they ran- a long all white corridor was connected to their room, it was the one Izaya had been walking through a couple times by now.
"Shizu-chan, that door-!" the flea informed, pointing at the one door he hadn´t passed yet- if any of these doors lead to the outside then it had to be this one!
Shizuo did as told, barging through the locked door, destroying whatever came into his sight as he entered what seemed to look like a hall- it was cylindrical shaped and there were multiple floors up to the ceiling- it was only at the top floor that Izaya could make out sunlight- were they underground?
"What the hell is this?" So far Shizuo had sort of thought this was just a tiny place and those crazy scientists or whoever the woman and that guy were, were just keeping them in that tiny room, having no more space than that, but looking at it now it seemed this whole facility belonged to them!
Not wasting any more time the blond heard some yelling and dozens of people came out of various doors, carrying long sticks that seemed like electro shockers for animals.
Without a second thought the blond pulled the flea after him, barging his way to a staircase that lead to the very top of this building.
Step after step flew past their feet and he kept glancing around, throwing punches at whoever was in the way- and he kept glancing back as well, at the flea, because if they noticed he still wore the computer ship they would knock him out just like that.
Shizuo was ready to pick that flea up in case they activated the stupid chip-
He didn´t want to think about it, but if they really did, then he would have to cut this damned thing out of his neck-
Running even faster the blond sped up.
They had to get out of here quick-
"Shizuo-senpai!" and then Shizuo froze in his steps, looking towards the source of the noise.
They were still running up the stairs various doors and windows to rooms flying past them.
And now they were standing in front of another one of these rooms, except that this time someone was inside of them!
Tom and Vorona!
"Iza-nii-!"
The raven blinked, not thinking he would hear that voice again.
Mairu and Kururi- they- she was alive?
They were just messing with them-?!
Fuck-
Letting go of the flea´s wrist the raven dashed over to the window, all of the people behind it that they had met in the game. Even Seiji and his girlfriend, and Simon too! Little Akane-chan was hiding behind Tom.
"Take a step back!" he heard the blond yell and everyone did as told as he threw his fist into the glass, breaking it into dozens of shards-
Their friends didn´t waste any time as they rushed out of the room. All ahead his two siblings, two pairs of arms suddenly connecting around his waist while Vorona and Simon immediately started attacking the people after them.
"You idiot brother you let me die, what kind of brother are you?" Mairu, complained, her face hiding in his shirt- "That woman said you would be dead soon anyway, what did she mean? Why does she want to kill you?"
She...
Had she been worried?
"I´m sorry..." the raven whispered locking his arms around the two- "really-"
He didn't know what to say, he felt anxious because of this stupid chip still being implanted in his neck, he felt relieved, even happy, because Mairu wasn´t actually dead- and angry at all these people for capturing and scaring them in the first place.
The moment of reunion wasn´t lasting long, however, as the guards or whatever they were caught up to them- the blond fought punched their lights out and Vorona as well as Simon did the same, helping him with the task, but more and more were coming out of nowhere-
The flea grabbing his siblings hands and pulled them after him-
"We need to get up there!" The blond nodded in his direction, taking the lead as he ran up the last couple stairs.
It was then that suddenly a shudder ran down the flea´s back- as if on instinct, something so brutish he would never admit he had- he turned around, meeting the eyes of a woman in the distance.
Opposite of them, on the other side of the hall-
That woman.
A gun in her hands she grinned like a maniac, rising the weapon almost in slow motion- aiming at-
"Shizu-chan!"
*BANG*
... it was just a shove. Really.
He didn´t even know why he did that sort of thing.
But the way she held the weapon the way she glared at Shizu-chan... she was clearly aiming at his head. Maybe it was because Shizuo had destroyed the place, got them out of there maybe she was just going to shoot them all anyway and wanted to take out the greatest threat first.
Izaya didn't know. But one thing he did.
Even while being a monster, Izaya knew Shizu-chan wasn´t invincible.
Pain numbed his senses as the flea gasped for a second unable to breathe from the sheer feeling of pain surging through his veins.
A door was sent flying- the blond had turned around upon having heard the flea´s voice, throwing whatever he had been holding onto in the woman´s direction-
It hit her square on the head, knocking her out, the gun falling to the ground-
But Shizuo´s eyes weren´t even on the woman anymore when trembling hands suddenly held onto him, grasping his shirt, to try stay upright even though the effort was useless-
"Izaya-" Shizuo had heard the bang, he knew the woman had shot, it wasn´t until he spotted the blood pooling on the ground that he realized who she hit-
"FUCK-"
There was blood, so much blood, crimson staining the flea´s chest pretty damn near where he suspected his heart to be- and god damn did it flow fast-
Grasping the flea´s shoulders he tried to help the raven keep upright, but it was no use, all strength left the flea´s body as he let himself slide to the ground, the blond following- his brain only now catching up on what exactly just happened.
He had felt something shove him aside.
The flea.
Izaya had pushed him out of the bullet´s way-
"Why did you do that?!" The flea had shoved him away so the woman shot him instead-
There was blood, more blood, so much of it, flowing fast-
No, no, no- the metallic smell filled the blond´s nostrils and panic started to make itself noticeable as his hands started to shake lightly.
He pressed his palms on the wound, trying, thinking maybe he could stop the blood like that-
Fuck-
No-
It didn´t stop, it just didn´t stop flowing!
The tohers had seen what happened and tried their best ot keep the guards away- Tom was covering the little girls eyes, not wanting a child to see something like this.
"Ah, not glad I´m finally going to die for real?" Izaya´s voice sounded awfully strained, blood was trickling from his mouth and his brows were furrowed so deeply he was clearly in an immense amount of pain-
"Iza-nii-!" His siblings called his name in a choir, their expressions both only mirroring Shizuo´s frustration and worry.
"You stupid prick, why did you do that?!" Shizuo panicked, no matter how he tried to keep the blood from flowing it just didn´t stop- it just- "Why?!"
But the flea just smiled, forced it, but he did smile.
Shizuo didn´t get it- why? Why did he do that?
"Guess," the flea started, mumbling softly, coughing wracking his body as his breathing was getting shallower and shallower- "... you just weren´t supposed to die like that either, you know?"
Not supposed... -
That was what he said to the flea.
It was what he said before when he asked why he let them implant the chip- but now... no way.
Why was he saying this now? Why was he smiling like this?
"Oi... " the blond mumbled, his throat feeling constricted.
"Izaya." But the flea already didn´t answer anymore.
"Oi." Izaya´s expression had relaxed.
"This isn´t funny." The blond tightened his grip on the flea, shaking him softly. He had to wake up.
He wasn´t supposed to sleep now- he had to wake up.
They had to return to Ikebukuro. Get these sick assholes in jail, Izaya said he would come piss him off in Ikebukuro-
"Shizuo." It was the Russian man who had raised his voice, but the blond didn´t even seem to register he was talking to him.
"Iza-nii...?" It was then that a loud noise interrupted the scene, black shadows crashing through what they had believed to be the exit.
An all too familiar Dullahan entered the building, followed by Shinra and Izaya´s secretary.
Almost immediately Celty´s PDA was shoved into everyone´s direction, not having yet noticed the blond crouching on the ground.
(What´s going on here?!)
Shinra walked up to the blond, his head snapping around in search of his other old friend- it wasn´t until he stood right next to Shizuo that he noticed the raven.
But Izaya-
"Izaya-"
... he wasn´t moving anymore. He was pale, blood everywhere-
"Seiji!" A delighted voice filled the sudden tense silence as the woman spotted her brother, alright and alive.
"Young lady!" Akabayashi didn´t act any different when he spotted the little girl hiding behind Tom.
It was over.
It was finally over. They could go home.
All of them.
All of them...
Except...
"Izaya- oi talk to me-" the blond was still shaking the raven, more and more violent.
"You gotta wake up, you hear me? Oi, Izaya-" But Izaya didn´t hear.
"Izaya-" Izaya didn´t move.
"Don´t fucking die on me-" Izaya was dead.
