Chapter 3

Can't leave now, can I?

The rest of the week passed quietly. Well almost quiet. There were good and bad news in this week. The good news were that Simon was shot in a place where didn't cause him any damage. Cecilia paid him a visit one day after her job and saw with her own eyes that he was good as new. The bad news were that the man, who was responsible for his injury, was never caught. That rumor gave a mixture of feelings to Cecilia. After all he shot her friend but at the end he was forced to act like that.

More good news were the fact that work was going good and her boss seemed to like her and trust her. The money were also good.

More bad news were the problem that she couldn't find a place to stay like she wanted it plus her sudden meetings with Izaya at the streets and roofs. She was seeing him at least once every day. He would always act like an idiot and make her angry with his cheesy comments causing them to argue. But they exchanged contact information under some weird circumstances.

Of course wherever was Izaya was and Shizuo along with a flying vending machine.

"Really those guys have lots of free time! And that Shizuo! Can't he stop throwing stuff when I am arguing with Izaya?" Cecilia murmured under her breath while she was one step away from being hit by a flying vending machine. "I give up..." she said when Shizuo ran after Izaya and she sat on the ground out of a cat-cafe. She looked at the sky and begged god to give some scenes into those two idiots. Then suddenly she felt someone sitting next to her out of the blue. She looked at her side and saw a girl looking at her curiously.

"Can I help you?" she asked politely trying to understand her reasons behind her behavior. The unknown girl got up again and pointed down at Cecilia with her finger.

"I knew it! You are the one from last week at the Russian Sushi Restaurant! Ne ne NE?" she shouted excited while jumping up and down. Cecilia nodded lost.

"I knew it! You were awesome!" stars appeared in her eyes while she bended over Cecilia.

"Um… you were there?"

"Hell yeah I was! But that courage you show! Oh my god! Like a heroine out of a manga! Badass and crazy! Really, at some point I thought I was seeing Izaya-kun!" she continue to speak non-stop. Cecilia was smiling at her not knowing what to do.

"Oh by the way! I am Erica! Nice to meet you!"

"Oh, I am Cecilia! Nice to meet you too!"

The girl then waved goodbye and left.

"Ikebukuro has some crazy people." Cecilia commented and got up too. She had to return back to her work.

A few days later, her boss asked her and Kotarou to go again to Izaya's house for cleaning.

"Weren't we there like a week ago? Why so fast?" she asked annoyed as she really didn't want to see him. She had enough Izaya for that week.

"No idea, girl!" Kotarou tried to easy the situation.

But she got her answer soon enough. When they arrived, the apartment was a huge mess. The books were all thrown on the floor, his computer was destroyed and some of the windows were broken. His bedroom was a mess too. The bed was totally destroyed.

"Ah… and I liked that bed!" Cecilia commented sadly when she saw it like that. Izaya smirked with her comment and promised her that he would buy a new and better one. Of course she was more than welcomed to try it. She looked at him annoyed and pushed him out of the room.

According to Izaya someone had sneaked in while he was out and was looking for something.

"Maybe they were seeking for revenge." She joked with him but he agreed with her with a smile. Cecilia looked at him worried.

"Olia? Are you worried about me, Lia-chan?" He mocked her while walking towards his destroyed desk.

"You are human. You aren't a god Izaya. Maybe this was a warning." She said only to be shut with a sudden kiss on the lips by the raven. She backed off disgusted and he passed her skipping.

"Aren't you cute when you are worried about me?" he whispered in her ear.

"Cut the crap already and get your sorry ass out of here. We have to clean the place." she said clearly not amused with his games. He smiled and left humming.

"That idiot. He will get killed before I..." she shook her head and brought her fingers on her lips.

"No… I will kill him first!" she shouted.

After that day she didn't hear from Izaya and neither saw him on the streets. For some reason she was feeling weird when she was walking down the street. So she would jump from roof to roof instead. Again the same feeling. She was feeling like something was missing. And it was also so quiet.

One of those quiet days she started to have a very bad feeling. And why not, as everything was going wrong from the moment she had woken up. First, she didn't get up early so she was late for work making her boss angry. Second she almost fell from the stairs on her way to check an apartment and third, she forgot her phone at work which she realized on her way home.

"How bad can this day get?" she screamed so she returned to her company to get her phone. While she was walking out of the company her phone rang.

"Hello! Kendo speaking." she answered as she didn't recognize the caller.

"Huh… I called you of all people… what a bad luck I have today..." an almost dead voice was heard from the other line of the phone making Cecilia worry. But she recognized that voice.

"Izaya?"

"The one and… only..." he said with a voice covered in pain.

"Where are you?" she asked calmly.

"Home…"

"I am coming! Stay on the phone!" she ordered as she ran out of the company towards his apartment.

"Heh… why would you come?"

"Eh?"

"You hate me, right? So why would you come? Let me die already..."

"Shut up! Stop talking like that! I will be there in ten!"

So she ran. She ran as fast as she could. She was still speaking with him on the phone to make sure he was still alive until she arrived outside his apartment. The door was open and the house was again a mess. She looked around trying to spot him.

"Over here..." she heard his weak voice behind his desk. He was on the ground and covered in his own blood. She let her phone on the desk, looked at him coldly and sat next to him.

"Want me to call someone or to call an ambulance?" she asked calmly like they were chit chatting.

"In my phone I have an entry… Shinra is the name… call him… he is an underground doctor..."

She followed his instructions and called that doctor asking him to come over. Once she finished with the call she threw the phone on the desk too.

"Why didn't you call him from the beginning?" she asked annoyed. "And I thought that I had your number."

"I didn't see who I called. As you can I see I can't see right now… and I have more than one phones."

"You still have them? Your eyes I mean..."

"Yes… they just beat me up pretty badly. I wonder if I will be as handsome as before after my recovery." he said sarcastically. His eyes were both closed and he had a peaceful yet painful expression on his face. She signed and threw herself on the ground next to him.

"If you have a strong desire to live… you will survive from anything..." she said like she was talking to herself.

Izaya burst out laughing but regretted it immediately as he was hurt all over his body and the pain was unbearable. "What is this? Trying to make me feel better?"

"Who knows?" she said without care and stayed quiet waiting for the doctor to come.

"You are pretty calm. I thought you would be the kind of person who would scream and panic by looking at a badly injured person. That is why I said I was in bad luck today when I called you." he commented and smirked.

"I have seen worse. You have nothing." she spitted coldly.

"Oh… you are so cold, Lia-chan!" he said in pain and shut up.

After some time they heard steps inside the house and a guy dressed like a doctor appeared behind the desk. Shinra looked at the fallen raven and shook his head disappointed.

"It seems like this time they got you alright." he said and stepped down to treat his patient. Cecilia ignored him and left their side. As long as the doctor was there she wasn't needed anymore so she left the house.

Shinra continued to treat Izaya after he took his eyes from Cecilia.

"Who was that girl? One of your girlfriends?"

"No… but she will fall at some point – aouch - hey!"

"You should stop using people Izaya-kun! Look at what happened to you! Next time you may end up dead you know."

"Yeah… but she is nothing like them..." he smiled at his friend.

Izaya was Shinra's best friend along with Shizuo. Shinra knew that they were both fighters and they were strong but every time they would call he was afraid that something very bad would have happened to them. Like today. A girl called him instead of Izaya. At first he thought that Izaya was dead, as he never let anyone touch his phones. So his first thought was death. Of course he felt relieved when he heard that he was alive but still. He wanted to punch those two idiots who fight without caring about the people who actually care about them.

"All set!" the doctor said and got up again. "Do you have anyone to take care of you?" he asked next.

"Hm… Namie-san. But I highly doubt it. Why?"

"You will need someone to look after you. You won't be able to move for a long time after all. They broke lots of bones." the doctor said concerned. "I will send you to the hospital then."

And so he did. Izaya wanted to stay away from the hospital as he would be an easier target for those who hated him but Shinra wouldn't listen so he accepted his fate. But this time he really didn't want anyone to know that he was in the hospital and in that kind of situation.

The next day someone kept calling Cecilia's phone non-stop. When she tried to answer the calls, the caller wouldn't speak but he would only breath so she just stopped picking up the phone. That continued for the whole day driving her crazy. Then, at the end of her shift, someone mailed her telling her that he knew that she was in the hospital and that he would kill her soon. She wondered about what he was talking about so she mailed him back asking him for explanations. Then it was when she realized what was going on. The guy actually answered her back calling her Izaya and told her to stop giving his phone to girls to answer it. She then checked her phone once again. That phone wasn't hers. It was someone's else and she didn't realized it until now. And that phone was Izaya's.

"Shit shit shit shit..." she cursed her stupidity. She must have taken the wrong phone the day before at Izaya's house. It seemed like they had the same model and the same color. No wonder they couldn't reach her all day.

"What an idiot can I be… so let me call my phone… he must be having it..." she murmured on her way home.

"Hello?"

"Izaya..."

"Oh isn't it Lia-chan!"

"Where are you?"

"Non of your business!" he said playfully like a maiden in love teasing her boyfriend.

"Ok… so you don't care what is going to happen to your phone right?" she said agreeing playing his game.

"What are you talking about? I have it right here." he continued to mock her.

"No you don't...I have it… I took your phone while I was leaving your apartment yesterday. We have the same model and color…." she remained silent.

Izaya stayed silent too for a while and then he asked her to come to his room at the Raira Hospital to exchange phones. She hanged up and changed her way to the hospital.

At the hospital

"Here..." she gave his phone to him as soon as she got inside the room.

"Make me a favor… don't tell anyone about this..." Izaya said embarrassed from his mistake as he handed her phone back to her.

"I won't… but I don't think that you should care about that right now..." she said amused.

"Why?"

"They know that you are here and they want to kill you. Check your phone..."

Izaya first checked his calls. All of them were from the same number. He looked at her for a moment and looked back at his mails. It was full of hateful mails towards him, all from the same email address.

"What did he tell you on the phone?"

"He wouldn't talk. He would only breath. Creepy as hell. Then he send me that mail." she said and he looked at his mails where he saw what she meant.

"Perfect" he humored enjoying his situation.

"Are you in danger?" she asked and this time her voice had some color in her.

"Maybe. But this is perfectly fine! I am excited you know!" he grinned widely but she didn't.

"You know that they might kill you this time!" she said in the same worried tone.

"Oh don't sound like Shinra-chan! Lia-chan, are you worried about me?"

"Of course I am! I was the one who helped you! I don't want my efforts to go to waste! Plus after all this you I consider you as a friend. So shut up!" she exclaimed feeling angry with him. He blinked a few times and burst out laughing.

"Humans! I love humans!"

She signed and sat on the bed next to him.

"They will kill you. Keep on smiling!" she said without caring and looked at the ceiling.

"I will be waiting!" he answered when their phones buzzed at the same time. They had mail.

Izaya grinned reading his and Cecilia started to look around her as she got up.

"What are you doing?" he asked annoyed.

"They are here. Read."

It was true. Her mail was saying that they were at the hospital and they were coming for them. His mail from the other side was just saying "Get ready to die!". He looked at her and then at the door and windows.

"HAHAHAHA this is the best!" he laughed out loud and threw his arms in the air.

"Dude!" she shouted at him when the glass of one of the windows broke and Cecilia felt a small burn at her cheek. She brought her hand to her face to check what it was.

"Blood. They shot you." Izaya smiled waiting for her reaction.

"I hope next time they will shoot you." she said calmly and walked away from his bed. Izaya followed her every move. She hadn't freak out and she was acting like nothing was wrong with the whole situation. He started to enjoy the situation even more.

"What are you going to do?" he asked totally interested to her answer.

"The best option I have here is to give you to them, but I won't. My efforts would go on waste. So I guess I will help you escape." she answered and shined a bright smile. She sat him on the wheelchair next to the bed and covered his legs with one of the bed sheets.

"Do you have your knife with you?" she asked him. He nodded and pointed at his jacket. She took his jacket and threw it at him after taking his knife from it. With it she opened two holes at another sheet and wore it like a jacket too.

"What are you-?"

"You will see… you are lucky that it's night outside and dark." she grinned at him and pushed him out of the room slowly. She looked around to check if anyone was there and took him out of the room as fast as she could towards the elevator. Some nurses who saw them didn't respond at all. Izaya then got the reason of the bed sheets. Once they were in and the door was closing they heard someone calling them to stop, gunshots and screams.

"That was a close one" he commented and smirked at her when they were safe in the elevator. She didn't answer as she was focused on the floors they were passing.

"Wear your jacket and cover your face as much as you can." She ordered him. Once they arrived at the ground floor she covered her face with some of the sheet she was wearing and pushed him towards the outdoor parking without again anyone reacting. She looked around to see if anyone was there and was looking at them or was following them.

"They are still into the hospital. Hurry." the raven gave her the green light to continue. She nodded and pushed him to the other side of the parking. There she found the ambulances.

"You are kidding, right?" he asked when he realized what she was thinking. She ignored him and left him alone for a while to check if anyone was there. She took off the bed sheets and she opened the door of the ambulance. The keys were on.

"Hey! What are you doing there!?" a driver caught her all of a sudden and drag her out. She didn't fight but went along with him. When he pinned her on the ambulance, in front of the raven, she saw some men in black approaching them dangerously. She turned to the raven worried as he was sitting calmly at his chair and then to the driver who was asking her questions. She slowly moved her head towards his ear and murmured something in his ear. The driver immediately set her free from his arms and walked towards Izaya. She went back to the ambulance and got in at the driver's seat. The driver took Izaya and brought him inside the ambulance making him lay on the bed in there. He threw the wheelchair in there too and he closed the door. Cecilia started the ambulance and left the hospital as fast as she could. She saw from the side mirror the men throwing the driver away and then getting into a car to go after them.

"Izaya! Tell me where you want me to take you!" she joked with the injured and shocked black haired guy at the back of the ambulance. The raven just looked at her and let his self rest on the bed.

"Anywhere you want. Just away from those guys."

She nodded satisfied with his response and drove the ambulance inside Ikebukuro. The men kept on following them at every part of it they were going.

"They are really persistent! I have to admit that much!" she smiled to herself. She was enjoying it more than she thought she would until she found herself in front of train rails and an upcoming train.

"Izaya hold still!" she screamed at him and drove directly to the train rails. It was a game of time, and they managed to win it. Their hunters didn't and the train hit them hard.

"ts… amateurs" she remarked and drove a little out of Ikebukuro. There she parked at a deserted place and went to take Izaya. The raven was sleeping quietly on the bed.

"How?" she said in disbelief. "Did he passed out?"

She took the wheelchair out of the ambulance and placed him on her carefully. She let the ambulance and pushed the chair slowly all the way back to his apartment.

Izaya woke up and found himself on his new bed. He looked around him to make sure he was home and then checked his phone. He had several messages, all from the same sender again. All of them were somehow the same.

This time you escaped.

This girl is as good as dead.

Stay alive until we kill you!

Stay alert! We are coming for you!

He rolled his eyes and tried to move but he was in pain to do so, so he just gave up. He tried to recall what happened. He was at the hospital. Cecilia came. Someone shoot her and they both left the hospital, in an ambulance.

"Woow… that is crazy… and embarrassing at the same time." he rolled under his bedsheets. Then the door opened and Shinra entered the room.

"Oh! You finally woke up Izaya-kun!" he said happily and sat next to him. The raven looked at him confused.

"Oh yes… you were sleeping the whole day! It's night now you know!" the doctor smiled at his patient. Izaya smirked and looked out of the window.

"You know… Cecilia-chan saved your sorry-ass twice already! You should thank her someday."

"Someday?"

"Yes. She isn't here right now. Well she said that she got a mail and she had to leave. And I let her go."

"A mail, huh?"

Then he received one himself. Once he saw the content he grinned evilly.

"Hm? Is something wrong?" the doctor asked and looked at the screen too.

"She is a monster. That girl..." the raven said and started to laugh unable to stop himself. The doctor again had lost his color. The mail was from Cecilia and it contained a single photo of men in black all beat up and under it a question.

Is that enough?

Ok! That was and the third chap! I hope you liked it! And like that Cecilia and Izaya came a little closer, ne? And Also you saw some of Cecilia's power. :P Stay tuned for the next chapter! ^_^ See ya! ^_^
