How dared him.

Izaya clenched his teeth at the veiled knowledge of his hatred and bit voer his flick-blade. The blade that made Shizuo bled. The blade that had part of his body.

"I really do hate you, Shizu-chan, that's why you must be stripped of all humanity. You can't be human if I hate you. You can't be human if you don't love me."

The man served himself a cold coffee into his luxurious appartment as he looked over the city to relax, ahh, the city, specially at a friday evening made him so happy, it made his chest pound with emotion to be able to watch everybody rush from their jobs to home, below him.

As it should be.

As it always should.

Yet, this time was different because he couldn't concentrate in his precious creatures with Shizuo alive, Knowing that someone did not have a sympathy for him at all.

"If you are not human, you must die, Shizu-chan, you aren't allowed to live between my fragile and beautiful creatures."

He reached a slender finger towards his mouth biting on the iron ring that was dressing it. As he thought that it might be fun. He would try to make Shizu-chan fall for him. No matter the cost. It was his task to get back to his beloved throne. To be again the god, the angel and not some fallen cheap cult to his humans.

And so, that was the beggining, he would go to Ikebukuro hoping the blonde would plain smell him, as always.

He used to say he stank, whatever. Nobody ever told him that, actually Izaya was proud of causing a few good reactions with his natural musk. So he would plain wander the city carelessly swinging from street to street.

-"IZAYA!"-

-Bingo.- he muttered to himself as he turned around pretending to be surprised.

-Shizu-chan, what a lovely surprise, but I won't be able to play with you today. I'm here for business. ∼ -Lie. Ikebukuro will always hold something that Shinjuku doesn't, and it's pure brawl, bad mood and howls. That alone would always bring him back to the city and that charm will fade away as soon as the blonde dies.

Such pity.

But there is always a price to this kinda stuff.

- Izaya- the blonde repeated more calm as he noted with his perifericall sight the crew of the city not long ago just worried to make it safely to home to flee aay like a school o fish when a shark comes near by.

Izaya noted the same looking smugly to the sides.

-So, Shizu-chan, are you going to let me do my job or we will do this the hard way? I know for your thick skull this isn't so much but there are plenty of people here that could get hurt, don't you think?-

Shizuo had to use all of his willpower not to charge like a raged bull. He wanted to crush that smile with his very own hands. But he had more urgent stuff due to the raven's odd behaviour, he was coming more and more often, and always tried something with the excuse of getting too close for his own confort. He decided to back away much to his distaste.

-Good boy, Shizu-chan.- The raven purred but continued his way relentlesstly biting his tongue in anger under a fachade of fake joy.

The day continued on without further incidents, much to Shizuo suspiciousness.

As Shizuo waved Tom goodbye after a long day of work he muttered to himself while undoing his bowtie as he entered to his appartment

This city is full of rats, I should move sometime, I mean, it's not like the city didn't get him a good job, full of delinquency and all, but he really wished it didn't take a toll on his nerves.

-Maybe a nice house by the mountains, I could...maybe, who knows work with wood or something...-

As he started putting away the untied bow, he started walking toward the stairs of his old appartment unaware of the broker following his every move like a hawk from another building.

- Ahhh, Shizu -chan, I really want to see your reaction. Must be something else when you find out what I've done.

You'll regret it, you monster. The raven thought with a cruel smile on his thin lips. Before biting on the ring on his fingers.

-You will. -
