So some of you pointed out I didn't really get into what happened with Izaya's confession and how Namie ruined everything for him and Shizuo. I mostly just hinted at it. And I realized, you're totally right! OTL Forgive me for that little plot hole.
So here's a little extra on what happened exactly. Although I mostly just tell Namie's part. I didn't rewrite the part where Izaya waits to confess but Shizuo never shows as that scene was in the first part of Shizuo and Izaya's story and pretty much what happened at that part. Sorry I didn't actually include these parts before though, so enjoy everyone~!
BTW, this extra in un-betaed so I apologize if there's any typos anywhere. OTL It's 3AM here and my brain is (somehow) wide awake while my eyes are like 'SLEEP!'. XD

Shizuo & Izaya Omake
"There." Izaya pulled away to survey his product, his hands on his hips and a satisfied smile on his face. The chocolate he had spent hours making was skillfully wrapped in a shiny crimson paper he had specifically picked to match his eyes. A bright gold ribbon was wrapped around the box to accent it, standing out beautifully against the red color.
He was so happy and relieved it had turned out okay. And now the only issue was giving it to a certain someone tomorrow…
Izaya bit his lip slightly in worry, glancing at the chocolate as he began to clean up after himself. He wondered if maybe he was being too over the top. He knew Shizuo liked sweets, but would he like the idea that came with the chocolate? What if he didn't? What he rejected it? What if he didn't feel the same way Izaya felt? What if friendship was the only thing Shizuo wanted?
Izaya could feel the anxiety growing in him as his heart beat faster. He really shouldn't worry about it. He was sure it would be okay. He and Shizuo were inseparable after all.
Yes, he thought with a confident nod of confirmation. Even if Shizuo didn't feel the same way…they would still be friends wouldn't they? It wasn't what Izaya wanted, but if Shizuo did…he could live with that. After all, he loved Shizuo. He would do anything for him.
Absolutely anything. Even still be his best friend when Izaya wanted to be something more.
He could that…
Maybe.
"Hey Zaya!" Izaya was slightly startled when he felt a hand clap on his shoulder. He quickly stuffed the wrapped box and letter back into his desk, looking up over his shoulder at the smiling pink-eyed blonde that stood behind him. "Everyone's thinking about coming over to my place after school today to play games, you wanna come?"
"Uh," Izaya muttered for a moment as his eyes glanced down at the letter and box. That put a little damper on things, but as long as Shizuo read the letter before he left, it should be fine. He and Shizuo could even go to Delic's after if things turned out okay. Izaya turned back to Delic, giving him a small smile, "Sure, but I have something I need to do after school so I'll meet you guys at your place later, okay?"
"Alright then," Delic shrugged, walking off to tell the others.
Izaya sighed, looking back at the box and letter in his desk before he took out the letter and walked out the classroom, heading to the shoe lockers. As he walked into the main entrance where the lockers were, he bumped into someone who was just heading back inside. Izaya turned, readying to apologize until he saw who it was. Then he frowned as the other person also saw who it was and frowned as well.
"Why hell there, Namie-chan," Izaya greeted with just a bit of a sneer as his eyes narrowed sharply at the brunette girl.
"Orihara-kun," she greeted with just as much acid in her tone and hate in her eyes. She noticed Izaya was holding a red envelope in his hand and she briefly wondered what it was for. "And where are you going?"
"I hardly think that's any of your business."
Namie snorted, shrugging and pretending not to care. "Whatever."
Izaya just gave her one last cold look before continuing on his way, Namie heading in the opposite direction of him. But she glanced over her shoulder, seeing Izaya disappear into a row of lockers. If she remembered correctly, that wasn't where his shoes were as his locker was actually pretty close to hers. But then she remembered that Heiwajima Shizuo's locker was in the row Izaya went to, and they were best friends. So maybe Izaya was putting something in Shizuo's locker? But hadn't Izaya been holding a…what was it? A letter?
Hmm, Namie thought to herself curiously, turning back around and returning to her classroom. Perhaps this was something worth looking into…
Namie glanced around the main entrance, making sure that no one was around to see her. She had faked being sick and was able to leave class a bit early to 'go to the infirmary'. She was really curious as to what Izaya had put into Shizuo's locker. If it was anything she could use against them, that would be just grand! She needed to get back at Izaya anyway for ruining her relationship with her little brother. The bastard.
Seeing the coast was clear, Namie slipped into the row of lockers and found Shizuo's, opening it up and seeing the red envelope sitting atop of the boy's outdoor shoes. She took it, ripped it open and pulled out the piece of paper filled with Izaya's precise handwriting.
She scanned through most of the beginning contents—most of it being about Izaya and Shizuo's close friendship—her expression twisting with disgust at how sickly sweet the letter sounded for it being from Orihara Izaya. But then her eyes widened with surprise as she read on and realized just what kind of letter this was.
…I guess what I'm really trying to, Shizu-chan, is that I like you more than as a best friend. And if you feel the same way, meet me under the sakura tree where we buried the time capsule after school. I have a surprise for you.
A confession letter. Namie wanted to laugh—and she almost did—but she quickly stopped herself as she realized that if she did that, she'd get caught skipping. But to think that Izaya actually had a crush on his best friend! Oh, this was more than she ever hoped for!
She could ruin his entire life with just this little letter.
And so she did.
Namie walked up to a trash can, tearing up the letter and letting the paper bits fall into the bin. Shizuo would never see it. He would never know what Izaya felt. He would not meet Izaya, and Izaya would assume Shizuo had rejected him. And hopefully, this would make the raven feel as horrible as she wanted him to feel.
If only she knew just what her actions would do to both him and Shizuo in the future.
Fourteen years later…
Chikage waited patiently, leaning against the trunk of a car as he fiddled with a small blade. He waited inside an abandoned parking structure, with just the lone black, nondescript car he was leaning against. A shadow cast beside him then, the click of heels against the concrete breaking the silence. "Rokujo Chikage?"
It was a feminine voice that spoke, cool and composed. Chikage looked up through his bangs and from the rim of his hat, seeing a pretty tall woman with long black hair and sharp, dark eyes looking at him impatiently, her arms crossed.
"That's me. So you're Yagiri Namie?" Chikage smiled all friendly like, standing up straight. "Nice to meet you." He held out his hand in offering, but she didn't bother to shake it.
Instead, she somewhat scowled at it in distaste and upturned her nose snootily, demanding, "So what did you want from me?"
"Hm, that's hard to say exactly." Chikage pulled away his hand, not seeming at all affected by her blatant rudeness as he stuffed his hand in his pants pocket.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Namie glared at him icily, her tone clipped. "Did you really just call me out here for nothing?"
"Joke?" Chikage laughed, although the sound was hollow and a bit frightening. "Oh no, this isn't a joke at all, Yagiri-san."
Namie was starting to feel a bit freaked out about this situation, sensing something was off about it. "If you're not buying any information, I'm out of here." She turned on her heel to leave when Chikage's voice paralyzed her.
"But Yagiri-san, don't you want to see your brother?"
Namie turned slowly, a horrified look on her face as Chikage just smiled wickedly. He popped open the trunk, dragging out a boy that was tied up, bruised, gagged, and blindfolded. Namie shrieked, "Seiji? What have you done to him!"
"Nothing yet," Chikage simply stated, grabbing a fistful of the boy's brown hair, holding a knife to his throat as a warning for Namie to be mindful of her actions.
Namie shook with withheld anger, biting her lip as she glared at Chikage murderously. "What do you want from me? Why did you drag my brother into this?"
"Oh, simple," Chikage shrugged casually as if he weren't holding onto someone's life right now. "I merely wanted you to feel what it's like to watch the one you love be hurt."
And then before Namie could even do anything Chikage reached down and cut across the boy's chest, blood spilling from it. It wasn't deep enough to really put his life in danger, but it still hurt. The boy cried out in pain, his scream muffled.
"Stop!" Namie demanded, her eyes widening crazily as she watched Chikage cut the boy all over, always shallow cuts that wouldn't kill him but still sting. The boy's chest, his arms, his legs. Chikage cut wherever there was skin. Blood began to soak through the boy's clothes. "STOP IT!"
Namie ran over, forcing the knife out of Chikage's hands and she pushed the man aside. "Seiji! Seiji, are you okay!" she called out in worry, working off the gag and blindfold. But then she gasped and pulled away, shock evident on her face as she finally saw the boy's entire face. It wasn't her Seiji. Just someone who looked similar enough o him.
"What…what is this?" she shouted in disbelief, turning on Chikage.
The auburn-haired man just stood there, a satisfied smile on his face. "You really think I would have dragged an innocent person into this? Of course it wasn't really your brother; that man's just a drug lord the Awakusu-kai wanted to punish anyway."
"How—How dare you!" Namie was angry now, getting up to her feet.
"How dare I?" Chikage countered. He reached out, slamming Namie down against the trunk of the car and trapping her hands, his expression now clearly angered. "How dare you mess around with someone else's feelings like their toys! I just wanted you to feel a little bit of what Izaya felt before."
Namie was stunned, speechless as she just stared at Chikage in disbelief. Izaya…? This was all Izaya's fault? What feelings was this man talking about? Izaya deserved what she did to him! Didn't he?
And as if Chikage sensed that was what she was thinking, he pulled out another knife from his pocket, slamming it down into the trunk, giving Namie a small cut on her cheek as he purposely put it as close to her as possible. His voice was low and threatening as he spoke, "This was just a warning. If I catch you trying to mess with Izaya or Shizuo again, the next 'Seiji' I cut might just be the real one."
Namie was too afraid to speak, collapsing on shaky legs to the ground once Chikage let her go and walked away. She watched his retreating back, shivers of fright still coursing through her body.
She usually wasn't an easy person to fright. But that man had certainly frightened her enough.
Chikage walked out of the parking structure, heading over to a similar dark, nondescript car parked across the street. He opened the door and slid inside, pulling off his hat and fanning himself with it.
"So I'm guessing it went well?" a voice spoke, Chikage turning to the speaker and smiling. Shiki sat across from the auburn-haired man, his legs crossed and his fingers threaded together as he rested his hands atop of his knee. "Your little revenge plot?"
"Yes, it did." Chikage nodded his confirmation. "Thanks for letting me use that man, by the way."
"Of course. We were looking for a way to get rid of him anyway," Shiki stated matter-of-factly like he was talking about the weather. "You actually did us a big favor."
"Ah, well, anything for an old friend."
"Certainly, you and Orihara-kun seem quite close," Shiki commented. "I was surprised when you came to us asking for help."
"Really?"
"Yes, I didn't know you and Orihara-kun knew each other."
"Well, it's a small world," Chikage shrugged. "I didn't even know Izaya had started working for you."
"Well, like you said, it's a small world," Shiki smiled mysteriously as he motioned to the driver to leave.
"I guess it is." Chikage mused with amusement. "You won't tell Izaya about this, right?"
"What Orihara-kun doesn't know won't hurt him."
"Good."
And so Chikage and Shiki rode on in silence, their secret safe between just them.
Hm, got a little morbid there near the end. XD But of course I wouldn't let Namie get away with messing with our two favorite characters without some sort of twisted revenge. *insert evil laugh here*
