'So your parents wanted to meet you again especially because of your sisters who are going to Raira Academy soon?' I asked him, actually repeating his past words in short detail. 'Yups~' the sober Izaya answered my question. 'Then, why do I have to come with you?' I continued my attack of questions. He sighed, staring at the plafond. 'My parents will be asking what I gained after my high school life and telling them I'm a information broker who enjoys raping the pure souls of the city would be a very sad thing,' He explained, it almost sounded like he was pitying himself. Is his bond with family really that weak?

'My unusual behaviour has effected my younger sisters, you know? They keep having this weird goal… I just can't stand them,' I didn't get his words at all, how did it they all turn out like this anyway? 'What kind of goal?' I continued. 'Ah, yes,' as if he just remembered and he starts to chuckle with a nostalgic feeling all written over his face. 'They are trying to be human,'

'Huh?'

'Don't let it bother you, even I can't deal with them,'

Instead of answering him again, I stay staring. Watching him as the only female in this world who can do it like I do. Izaya, who was sitting on the couch while I was standing in the door opening stretched his arms in the air and turns his head towards me afterwards. 'So I'll be adding ''girlfriend'' in the storyline of mine,' His words, in combination of his eyes and smirk, pierced through my heart and I get all flustered in return. Slowly did I lift my hand and pointed at myself. 'You mean… me?' I reached for the possibility I would be his so-called ''girlfriend'' to make his life sound more… pleasant.

'Exactly,' he smirked. Having his word was making me nervous. 'So when are we going?' Again a question. Izaya stood up and walked around, I didn't know what he was going to do at all but I didn't dare to turn around when he passed me by. 'When you're free from school~' his voice echoed through the hallway. In my head was I counting the days I had left 'till I had free from school, remembering soon enough I had three days left.

I froze, leaving to my room a few minutes later, getting my cell phone. That gave me another reason to talk with Namie or-. I paused when I was reading Kasuka's name in my list of phone numbers. I hesitated but decided to call Kasuka instead of Namie. 'Heiwajima Kasuka,' 'Kasuka-san, can I-' '-Isn't avaible to answer the phone, please leave a voice message behind after the beep,'

I stopped before the beep arrived and sighed. So he is probably filming now... 'This is an live interview with Hanejima Yuuhei,' His name faintly said makes me dash to the living room where Izaya was sitting on the couch again with a bottle of beer, watching the news channel, really. This News channel what Izaya is addicted to contains every kind of news around Shinjuku and Ikebukuro so they even show live interviews, especially because Kasuka - or to say; Yuuhei - is one of the most famous celebrities around these districts.

Izaya turned his head to me and smirked playfully. 'What is with the sudden interest?' he asked, almost forcing me to give an answer. 'Didn't I tell you already that he is a good actor,' I responded, placing myself on the cough next to him but with certainly some distance between us. So that's why he didn't pick up the phone, he's in an interview. I was listening focused on it, until Izaya laughed harshly halfway what disturbingly makes me lose my ''peace and silence'' moment next to him.

'What is it?' My head heated up without me knowing why it was all happening in the first place. I was nervous about his laughing, wondering if I did something stupid. Was I being foolish and cheesy again?

'Nothing at all,' Izaya answered, fighting away his laughter and even whipping a tear from his eye away. That doesn't convinced me at all, just say it already. 'Why are you laughing?' I asked carefully, not wanting to made fun off, besides, the interview is ending soon so I want to have him shut up already.

'You just looked like my sisters,' he answered and now is he trying to stop himself from laughing, without any success. When I glanced towards the TV, I notice the interview was done and so I stand up. 'I'll be going,' I mentioned before walking away, without hearing him say anything. Even his laughter faded away slowly.

I walked through the hallway to my room, picking up my cell phone again but I hesitated first. The interview was just over, maybe is he still doing something and will I only bother him. Before I could do anything the phone begins to ring in my hands. My eyes widened and I almost dropped it but saved it just in time and picked up.

'Hello?' I asked carefully. 'With Kasuka,' I didn't answer, I didn't know how to answer, why was he calling? Wasn't he busy just a moment ago? 'Why did you call?' I head his voice say at the other side of the phone, his voice didn't change at all. 'Well I wanted you to talk to you about something but…' 'You can come over now,'

That surprised me, he sure has a lot of energy, being an actor, having tons of fans, interviews and still having some time left to listen to my and my burdens.

'Are you sure? You were so busy just now,' 'It's fine, do I need to send someone to pick you up?' 'No need to,' I hurried, breaking the conversation and rushing towards the door. Izaya disappeared from the living room, what is a good thing for now. Without him knowing anything, I left the house, stepping into a taxi immediately. The fat man with a beard and creepy eyes asked me where to go. The hairs in my neck sprung straight up and shivers go through my whole body while the creepy eyes were staring at me.

When we finally left to Kasuka's place, I felt really out of place on this bench when I noticed the driver was staring at my via the mirror above. While I was looking at the surrounding of the taxi outside I was hoping time would fly fastly and that I arrive soon. Whenever I felt the eyes of the driver targeting me, I wanted to escape, but I couldn't.

When I finally arrived I jumped out of the taxi in top speed, dashing into the building, walking to the reception but before I could do anything, she lets me through with annoyance in her voice. I bowed slightly as thanks and walked further, into the lift. I saw the numbers increase above the door and I waited until I arrived at Kasuka's.

I knocked on his door when I finally arrived and am standing in front of his doors. I took exactly 10 seconds for him to open his door.

'Hi,' I greeted him, not really knowing how to act around him, I haven't seen him for a while and it was making me feel bad. He stepped aside so I could step in. Slowly did I come inside and sitted on his couch, watching him how he is closing the door and prepared something to drink for me.

I just waited there, not doing anything, not thinking anything. I smiled slightly when he came back with some tea what he puts in front of me and sits down next to me. He stared at me, what I took as a sign that he was waiting for my upcoming story. I told him about me going to his parents as his ''girlfriend'' and all the thoughts I had about that around it. Before I knew it, it was time for dinner. Kasuka pointed at his clock what makes me gasp after I saw the time. Stress fell upon my mind and I couldn't figure out what to do. I kept mumbling things about dinner and how to come in time, Izaya… would probably waiting or suspect things. 'You can eat here,' he said. I looked up to him, completely calming down at once.

I didn't know how he did it, but he always gives me peace. 'I… go call him to say him that,' I said after hesitating for a minute. I quietly stood up, walking to the hallway and picking my cell phone out of the little pocket from my pink skirt. I waited peacefully for Izaya to pick up, of course he won't leave me alone after this, I know that all alone. He would never let something like this pass him by.

'Orihara Izaya here,' It sounds like he didn't saw on his phone it was me. For a moment did I forget what I was actually doing here and what I am calling him for. 'With Kamichika Rio, I just wanted to mention I am staying over for dinner by a friend of mine, I hope you can care for dinner yourself,' I told him through with a doubt in my voice. I immediately felt stupid for saying it. Of course can he get himself dinner, he did that for years.

'Oh~ Then, where are you Rio-chan, should I pick you up?'

I froze, I absolutely don't want that. If he sees me with THAT actor, I… don't know what would happen from than. 'Tell me the address,' 'No!' I said rapidly. 'I'll be going then,' I continued afterwards more calmly and I quit the conversation, putting my cell phone back.

I went back to the living room, seeing Kasuka nowhere. 'Kasuka-san?' I asked. I looked around to find him and finally see him in the kitchen, making dinner by himself. 'Do I need to help?' I asked him, feeling guilty to have him making so much dinner for two by himself. 'No need to,' he answered. I went back to the couch and waited until he was done.
