Chapter 4

Let's Get Even

Izaya considered himself lucky as they had just broke his legs while his arms were left untouched. They were still recovering from Shizuo's hit a year before and any kind of injury would be fatal. Also his wound from Varona's knife, which almost killed him, had closed too. She even apologized for it. Of course because Shizuo asked her to. That girl was head over heels for him and she thought that it was respect or hate. Anyway something that he enjoyed was her irritated expression when she was apologizing.

But that was not his only problem. He couldn't move so automatically he couldn't work and that was frustrating.

"Hm? Consider it as a break." Cecilia told him one day as she was cleaning his apartment after his request. He personally called her and asked her to come and clean. Obviously, he would pay her at the end of the day or else she wouldn't accept the job on her day off.

"A break? I am an information broker! Last year I was out for a couple of days and I lost so many events! Hey! Be careful with that! It's expensive you know!" he teased her knowing that this would get her nerves more. She wasn't happy about this cleaning at all.

"You are lucky that you are paying me for this! Or else I would be gone by now!" she hissed and continued her work.

The truth behind his request was that he was feeling lonely and he really didn't have anyone to talk to as Namie was gone to stalk he brother 24/7 now that he was unable to work.

"Aren't we friends?" he asked mocking her with her own words. She didn't answer but just ignored him again. Time passed with him being stuck on his bed and Cecilia walking up and down in his room cleaning.

"Ne! You need money right? Why by the way?" he asked all of a sudden. She was now next to his bed cleaning his closet.

"To pay for my own apartment."

"Do you own one?"

"No. I will rent one."

"Hm…. So? Where do you live now?"

"At a hotel."

"I see… and how do you like your apartment?"

"At a high place where I can see the city..." she answered as she threw all his clothes on his bed. He looked at them and then back at her, who now was taking out some boxes with shoes and stuff.

"I see… by the way how old are you?" he asked again and throw him self back.

"Younger than you." she said as she started to open the boxes.

"I see… wait, how do you know my age?"

"You are 26 to 27, 1.75 but I guess you got a little taller, blood type O, Orihara Shirou your father and Orihara Kyoko your mother. You also have two sisters Mairu and Kururi, twins. And like I said… I am younger than you but older than your sisters." she said in a bored tone like his information weren't interesting at all. Izaya's smile was gone and now he was looking at her suspiciously.

"Oi… where did you find all these information?" he was grave and his tone was heavy. She continued to arrange his closet without answering to him.

"Hey! Don't ignore me!" he hissed and got up a little. She started to put the boxes back into the wardrobe carefully.

"Someone's eyes are the windows of his heart, and someone's house is the door to his past and life." she said with a slow voice without enjoying the conversation. She sounded disappointed. Izaya's eyes opened wide and a huge grin appeared on his face while shouting loudly how much he loved humans and how curiosity is one of human's best ability. Cecilia ignored his usual behavior and continued her job.

"You are perfect for the job after all!" he exclaimed. "Lia-chan~ want to make a deal with me?" The girl ignored him again.

"With this you will get a great amount of money." he continued.

Cecilia stopped moving his clothes back to the closet and turned towards the raven.

"Keep talking." she said sharply as now he had her attention. Izaya smiled satisfied. He sat a little more comfortable and cleared his throat. He explained to her again that he was unable to work so he needed someone to help him now that Namie was gone. In other words he asked her to become his eyes in the city for certain jobs he had to finish. She thought about it for a while and asked if the jobs had to do with the yakuza. He smiled widely and nodded.

"I will accept but you have to promise me that you won't lie to me about any kind of job and cause me any kind of problem, because I can kill you now that you are unable to move." she was serious and her eyes were sending him messages of danger which were making him nervous. But he didn't lose his cool and promised to not mess with her.

"And about the money?"

"There is a payment of course! You will get the 30% of the money."

"70%" she corrected him.

"Excuse me?"

"I said I will get the 70% from each job. I will be doing the job and meeting with the clients. You will only give the name. Deal?" she was smart and Izaya knew that he couldn't do anything as he was needing her so he agreed defeated.

She blinked a few times as she didn't expect him to agree so easily and nodded smiling. They gave hands and sealed their agreement.

The very next day Cecilia went to buy a second phone with a new number. That would be for Izaya's jobs. She didn't want them to have her personal number.

"Jee…. Thinking that I will start the same thing and here… Once an information broker, always an information broker, huh?" she signed while she was playing with her new phone waiting for instructions from Izaya. "But this job is perfect for me to form bonds with the underworld." she smiled at her phone when Izaya finally contacted her with information for her first job.

The next two months were intense, dangerous and bad, but they had and good things in them. For example, Cecilia was enjoying every bit of her new job. She even combined both her jobs making it much easier for her to gather information. The trick was that no one was paying attention to the cleaners. So getting the information she wanted was easier.

Also Izaya's apartment had became her second home as she would spend her days there when she wasn't at any of her two jobs. They would spend hours talking and discussing the upcoming jobs and clients. A good thing about Izaya was the fact that he liked to brag about his previous clients and his jobs with them. Cecilia would sit and suck every detail he was telling her about anyone and anything. That way she was getting anything and everything she wanted thanks to Izaya. She got to know her clients better than they thought, making it easier for her to use them at some point for her own record as they would trust her completely at that point.

But the deal was also good and for Izaya as he had some company and could get the information he wanted for the outside world without getting bored at home. She was also cooking and cleaning the house, of course with extra payment, but he was totally ok with it. He was pleased with her work and he enjoyed her company. With every job she was doing successfully the more he thought that he could might even trust her. Something that was bothering him the nights before he go to sleep. At the end he chose to just ignore that feeling and go back to his regular ways.

The last job Cecilia had, was to collect information about a famous CEO which there were rumors about him trying to pull yakuza's legs as he was trying to sell drugs into their bars via the bartenders he was sending to work there.

The quest was from a famous redhead yakuza member, Akabayashi Mizuki. He highly disliked drugs and was quiet angry about that matter. Cecilia had heard from Izaya and from other clients that he was kind but fearful and strong at the same time and that his boss was one of the strongest yakuza bosses in Ikebukuro, maybe in Japan too. She thought that if she could make him an ally that would be a big win.

"Hm… so you are working for Izaya?" was the demon's first question when he met with Cecilia at one of the bars he liked to hang out. The girl just nodded. She wasn't surprised by his injured eye but thought that it was giving him something like a charm.

"Yes. Please forgive my rudeness. My name is Kendo Cecilia. I am currently working under Orihara Izaya. At least until he is able to work again." she bowed her head and sat at the opposite side of the table. The redhead demon was impressed by her politeness and smiled to himself.

"Such a good girl. Too bad you are working for that guy." he drank some of his drink feeling sorry for the girl.

"Please don't feel sorry for my account. You should only think about your problem, which I am here to solve."

'So professional… is she in the business too?' the old man thought and let his glass on the table.

"Ok then. Let's get into business. Here is the photo of the CEO I want you to follow and learn about his next plans and how deep he is in this job." he placed the photo of a good looking yet hateful guy on the table and pushed her towards the girl. The girl saw it and put her under her coat.

"How would you like to inform you about him, once I have the information you ask?" she asked next making the yakuza to look at her surprised.

"Hahahaha… you are too serious about it! Fine! Here is my contact info. Once you are through give me a call." the girl took his card and left bowing again.

The old man sat back and grabbed his glass again.

"That girl seems quite useful. Izaya, you bastard, you have a good eye."

Cecilia liked that demon, a lot. She had a long time meeting such a person. So she wanted to get that job done perfect! First thing was to get her company send her to the company of that CEO she had to look for. She managed to get her company give her and Kotarou the job for this company. Her company was responsible for almost all the big companies in Ikebukuro and other places around.

"Lucky!" she hummed when she walked inside the company.

They worked there for five days. Those days were more than welcomed as she managed to get some crazy information about the CEO and rumors which ended up to be true at the end. How did she manage to gather so many information? Easy as eating a cake! Being a cleaner means that you can be whenever you want, anytime you want and being ignore by everyone and anyone. People had that bad habit of speaking in front of cleaners all the time so she could gather plenty of information. Also she had volunteered to clean and the windows from outside. Maybe she couldn't listen to what they were saying inside but she took plenty of photos. And juicy ones.

During the sixth day she went to Izaya to report about her process and to get his permission to call the client. Izaya was very strict when it came to the information which was about to be given to the client. He wanted everything to be perfect. Cecilia was a perfectionist so she didn't have any problem with meeting Izaya's expectations. The meeting would be in two days.

At the meeting with Akabayashi

Akabayashi was sitting at his usual spot at his favorite bar waiting for the information broker to appear. Cecilia arrived a few minutes later holding a folder in her hands. She bowed to her client and sat at the opposite side like the last time.

"Well… give me what you have!" the yakuza asked her looking at her folder. She nodded and opened the folder taking out papers and photos of the CEO.

"Let me start then. The target was the CEO of Usagi Company, Shantaro Ichigo. He is the CEO there as a vitrine. He doesn't really have any kind of power in the company. He is the face of the company and only that. He is also indeed the one who sends the bartenders to your bars and he is also the one who is training them. By training I mean he teaches them the tactics of selling drugs to the drunk ones and mix drugs with the drinks of innocent drinkers. Here are some of the formulas they use." she handed him a sheet and continued. "But he is merely a pawn. He just follows orders by the son of the owner of the company." she handed him a photo of the CEO speaking with the son. "Also they are using lot's of different drug dealers but right now they are working with him." she gave him one more photo with the CEO making a deal with that drug dealer. Akayabashi immediately recognized the other person and let his glass on the table with force, almost breaking it.

Cecilia ignored his reaction and continued with the same tone.

"They are usually meeting at strip clubs like the 'Bunnies Paradise' and 'Angel's Sanctuary'. The CEO also has been convicted for sexual harassment but the charges were dismissed as the girl who was attacked sexually by him was mysteriously disappeared. There are many other girls who were attacked by him but none of them went against him as they were afraid of being 'disappeared' too. Many of the workers of the company believe that the girl was murdered. Her name is Natasha Victorof. She is half Russian. The company says that she left for Russia but no one believes it expect from the police. Also the owner of the company is sick and he is close to death. That work with the bartenders was supposed to be a project by the son. But the father rejected it saying that it was too dangerous and he couldn't trust anyone for this kind of job. Now that he is out of the company, the son took charge and he started that project of his. The amount of money they are getting is huge compared to the company's usual income. So, they are sending them aboard to other banks to cover their plans. This is the name of the bank. It's somewhere in Europe. An underground bank. You need to be very well trusted to have your money there. That is all." she finished and took a deep breath to calm down a little as she was a little nervous. The yakuza in front of her wasn't looking very good and was really angry. Cecilia didn't speak because she knew that with any sudden move or any wrong word, she is as good as dead. Akayabashi stayed quiet for a while and then smiled at her. The girl didn't change her calm expression and waited for his response.

"Ah! I am sorry! I am sorry! Did I scare you?" She didn't answer and he lost his smile.

"I am sorry… you know that guy, that mother fucker and low life drug dealer is a scum. He has killed with his drugs so many innocent people. I hate scums like him. The information you gave me were perfect! Really! You did and amazing job! Izaya must be proud of you. Good job! Would you like something to drink? I am so rude for not offering you something to drink." he said in a sad tone and tried to call the bartender but Cecilia kindly refused his offer and left for back home. She was exhausted and she wanted to sleep. But for her bad luck Izaya called her.

"Heyyy! So? How did it go?" his voice was the usual annoying one.

"Good. I hope so. You need something else?" she asked waiting to close the phone.

"Υes. Come over. It's a new job." he said in a more serious tone and hanged up first. Amelia cursed him and changed her way to his house disappointed.

"Izaya! I hate you! I want to sleep!" she complaint when she entered the house screaming so he could listen to her from his bedroom. He had given her the keys of his house so she could enter when she was coming over as he couldn't move. She climbed the stairs finding him standing and looking inside his closet.

"Wow? You can walk again?" she asked amazed.

"Somehow. I am still in pain though. So? How was your last job?" he asked excited.

"Exhausting! And you said that this would be the last one! What now?" she asked annoyed and threw herself on his bed, not intending to get up again.

"Well actually I am looking for something and I can't find it! You were the last one who arranged the boxes in here so you better know where it is and… you are sleeping."

He singed heavily and chuckled.

"She is only human after all! Humans get tired too. I will look for it tomorrow then." he said to him self and painfully returned to his bed where he slept next to her.

The next morning when Cecilia had woken up he was already gone. She got up still tired and looked around half asleep.

"Hm?" she tried to understand where she was when a female voice woke her up once and for all.

"If you are one of Izaya's sleeping hoes please get your things and get out of here." she said. Cecilia just looked at her confused but she recognized her immediately.

"Oh! You are Namie-san, right?" asked the younger girl as she sat more properly on the bed.

"Yes. Now leave!" she groaned and went straight to the wardrobe.

Cecilia watched her every move and she understood that she was looking for something in the closet.

"What are you looking for?" she asked willing to help as she knew the closet pretty good.

"None of your business." Namie answered coldly and continue to throw the things out of the closet like a manic. She was upset.

"I was the one who had arranged that closet and now you are ruining it. Tell me what you are looking for so I can help you and stop wasting your time like this." Cecilia started to get angry as her efforts were going into waste.

"Fine! I am looking for a little box. It contains a ring. Izaya is asking for it. And of course he asked me to do his chores. But he is lucky he is paying me!" Namie explained and let the closet alone.

"I like you, we think alike…Well I had seen a small box but I don't know about any ring… it's at the blue box at the back of the closet. Behind the black jeans. Check there."

Namie followed her instructions and found it immediately but when she opened it she left it disappointed.

"No ring?"

"No ring..." Namie said and left the room. Cecilia got up and followed her to the living room. Namie offered her coffee and they sat at the living room to chat.

"So you aren't sleeping with Izaya?" Namie asked the other girl in disbelief. She found her after all sleeping in his bed. But she was full dressed so there was a chance she was something else too, right?

"No. I was working for him while he was hurt. Well I needed money so I accepted his offer." Cecilia smiled at the other woman. Namie then recognized her.

"Now I feel stupid. I have seen you so many times already. You are working for that cleaning company right?"

"That is correct."

"I see… so tell me how do you know Izaya?"

Cecilia explained her everything from the beginning. From the cleaning day, their meetings and how annoying he is, to the events at the hospital and the deal they had. Namie was impressed from Cecilia's patience.

"So how about you?" Cecilia asked. Namie explained to her about her company and how she got bought from other, stronger ones and that she was working under Izaya for money and to avoid getting arrest.

"We do think alike after all!" Namie smirked and the girls laughed together. They continued to make fun of Izaya until Cecilia asked her new friend a serious question.

"Ne Namie. What do you think of Izaya?" Namie let her cup of coffee and thought for a while before she answers.

"He is a manipulator and a lonely guy. He likes to play with other people lives. He can use you and then throw you like a trash. He can stab you smiling. He can send you to your death without caring a bit. He will make you do anything so he could see your reactions. He proclaims that he loves all human beings even though they don't love him back and he is totally ok with it. That is what making him more lonely. But he is not as low as to attack a woman." she finished in a professional manner.

"One side love huh? And you? Do you have any feelings for your boss?" she asked again in a cheesy matter. Namie burst out laughing but managed to control herself and answer the question.

"Me? In love with Izaya? Oh my! Hell no! There is only one for me! Seiji!" she became all red and cupped both her cheeks with her hands.

"Seiji?"

"My brother!"

"Wow! Incest? Cool!" Cecilia chuckled. She didn't see THAT coming!

Izaya was walking down the street in deep thought as lots events had occurred from the moment he had woken up this morning. First he couldn't find the ring anywhere in the closet so he gave up and asked Namie to look for it. Then Shinra told him that he had to wait some more until he goes back at work, something he didn't like at all. Then her sisters called and annoyed him even more saying that they would visit him. But what he was thinking and couldn't take out of his mind was what he did the morning before he left for Shinra's.

He had woken up first and got a shower and stuff and was ready to leave when he heard a voice from his bed. When he checked he found Cecilia under the sheets sleeping. He looked at her confused for a while until he saw her wearing clothes and remembered that last night he had asked her to come over and she ended up sleeping on his bed. He signed and was ready to wake her up when he noticed her calm sleeping face. He was caught in the moment and after a few minutes a desire to touch her clouded his mind. Blind from that desire he approached her face and placed his lips on hers. After the touch he retreated immediately feeling embarrassed for his action and he walked out of his house as fast as he could.

"Why? Why did I do that? Shinra can't be right! No… I love all humans the same way. She isn't any different. I did that because wanted to annoy her! That's right!" he kept telling to himself until he arrived at the place he wanted to. A state agency.

"Oh my! Orihara-san! What can I do for you today?" the owner asked him as Izaya had worked for him in the past.

"I need to find a house."

"Oh yeah yeah! Is it for you?"

"No. It's for… a friend."

The owner of the agency took him personally to look around for apartments and houses. Izaya liked only one, which was at a place where you could see the whole city from there and it wasn't that much away from the center. Once he decided on the house he started to negotiate for the price. But for this he had to ask the owner. The owner was a very kind old woman which she immediately agreed on reducing the amount of the rent as long as the renter was a girl.

Izaya thanked the elderly woman and left for back home. He was tired and the cold started to catch up as November had come. When he arrived home a surprise was waiting for him. Cecilia, Namie and his twin sisters were all sitting around a hot pot and were chit chatting without hearing him entering the house. Cecilia saw him first and waved him to join them. The rest made place and he sat down too.

"What are you all doing here?"

"I found Cecilia here, so we started to talk. But we found no ring." Namie answered first.

"We came later as we promised and we found them here!" one of the twins said.

"And she asked us to stay and have a hot pot." the other twin continued.

"And as we had the ingredients we started one." Namie said again.

"And you are just in time! Eat up!" Cecilia sat next to him and gave him a plate smiling widely.

Izaya looked at her and then at her lips as the desire came back and started to get food in his plate trying to hide his embarrassment. Namie noticed that embarrassment and smiled evilly. The rest just ignored them. The rest of the night passed quietly with laughs and lot's of stories being told by Izaya. When they were full and tired they all decided to part. Before Cecilia leaves Izaya asked her to meet with him the next day after her work. She looked at him confused but agreed.

Next day

Izaya was sitting out of Cecilia's company waiting for her. He was thinking about how she would react about the apartment he found for her. He was anxious for some reason. After all he had never get any kind of present for anyone. He had only one friend after all, Shinra. But they never had any kind of special bond between them. After all when Shinra had saved him back in highschool, Izaya managed to pay him back by making his attacker's life a living hell. So you can say that he didn't own him anymore. And there was Kine with that girl. Well they saved him alright but he paid them both so that was also over. And now was Cecilia. She was considering him as a friend and saved him the last time. He owned her. But still… why did he go so far as to find her an apartment to make it even?

"I don't get it! Fuck!" he groaned irritated by his own thoughts.

"Why are you here?" he heard someone from behind him. He turned and saw Cecilia looking at him irritated.

"Oh my! Lia-chan~! I came to pick up my girlfriend!" he said in his usual 'i don't care what others think about me' tone and loudly enough making some of Cecilia's coworkers look at them.

"Hahahaha… don't listen to him. He is joking. You know!" Cecilia laughed awkwardly and took Izaya from his jacket and pulled him away from her company's entrance.

"Are you crazy? Do you want them to think that we are a couple?" she hissed at him when they were away and in a dark alley.

"Me? You took me to a dark alley. Maybe..." he approached her face. "...you want my body?" and smirked satisfied to her angry face. The girl lost it for a second and was about to punch that idiot but instead she stepped forward and looked deep inside Izaya's eyes. Izaya blinked a few times with a lost smile. She withdrew and now she was looking at him smiling.

"You are so cute when someone look at you from a closer angle, Izaya-kun~" she sang and giggled as she was walking away waving. "Come and pick me up from the hotel I am staying. 'New Life' the name. Saya is the owner."

Izaya stayed quiet for a while as he was watching her walking away.

"Damn… she is good." he commented and went to find that hotel when he was found by his sisters in the middle of his way.

"Iza-ni!" Mairu shouted excited and jumped in front of him.

"Hm hm!" Kururi jumped next to her sister.

"What do you want?" Izaya asked annoyed as they were getting in his way.

"Ne ne! Cecilia-nessan is so cool! When is she coming again?" Mairu asked first.

"Why?"

"Because we liked her and we want to invite her for dinner." Kururi continued shyly. Izaya looked at them surprised as those two didn't like to have any kind of affection for anyone other themselves.

"Do you really want to invite her for dinner?" he raised his eyebrows.

"I want to fight her too! She said that she knew how to fight!" Mairu said excited and started to punch the air. Izaya signed and promised them that when she comes to visit he would call them and went back to his own way. He found the hotel quite easily in the narrow roads of Ikebukuro and he let himself in.

"Welcome to 'New Life'- You?" Saya lost her welcoming attitude and a rage took its place.

"Oh Isn't it Saya-san?" Izaya smirked as he saw one of his old clients. "Long time no see! I see that you own the hotel now, right?"

"Yes, I do. What are you doing here?"

"I came to pick up Lia-chan~" he sang and looked around amazed. "You did change it! Wow! Last time I saw it it was a whore house. Do you still have them?"

"No."

"I see..."

"Orihara-san. What is your connection with Cecilia?" Saya asked him all of a sudden.

"Hm.. you can say that we are friends. But she has worked for me so… I don't know, why?"

"Because I know you that you like to play with other people's emotions. I don't trust you!" Saya hissed and glared at him harder. Izaya didn't loose his cool but just smirk.

"Well then shall I play with her?"

"Please don't play with her. Don't hurt her more. She can't help but trust people and let them use her. But she is a good girl and she would never betray a friend." Saya's voice was broken but Izaya knew that she was telling the truth. After all Saya was a very honest person to begin with.

"Oh! You came!" Cecilia appeared from the stairs wearing new clothes. Izaya looked at her but couldn't take his eyes from her. She was wearing a tight black blouse, with a chess pattern skirt and black tights with black boots.

"Saya! I am leaving!" Cecilia drugged Izaya out of the hotel waving goodbye at the owner.

"Have fun!" Saya wished them.

The couple walked towards the center of the Ikebukuro with Izaya skipping next to Cecilia.

"So? Why did you want to meet up?" she asked when they finally arrived at the center of Ikebukuro.

"I wanted to show you something. Follow me." he said in a cute matter as he took her from her hand and guided her to the house he found. He kept holding her hand all the way to the house. Cecilia was all red but tried to hide it by looking around and being quiet so he wouldn't look at her. Izaya again didn't care until they arrived at the house. There he realized what he was doing and let her hand being embarrassed himself. The house was a two store house, with a big garden and big balconies. It was tall and cute.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" the girl exclaimed.

"Wanna see it and from the inside?"

"Can we?"

"Of course!"

They walked through the garden to the door and entered the house. Cecilia looked at it's every corner. From the kitchen to the living room, to the two bathrooms and two bedrooms and office on the second floor. It was full furnitured and even had and its own fireplace at the living room. The kitchen was adorable and huge with a big table in the middle. Cecilia climbed to the second floor and stopped looking at the three doors in front of her.

"What is it?"

"Hm… which one should I choose first?" she had a very concerned expression. At the end she ran to the left and shouted that that room was huge! Izaya followed her to the balcony where she let a loud 'wow' which could be heard all over the neighborhood.

"It's so perfect! This house is like a dream! Is it yours? Are you buying it?" She asked excited Izaya who was next to her and was also admiring the view.

"Nope. Its yours. You said that you were looking for a place to live, right? And I owned you my life so I found one for you so you could start your life. That way we are even. Also, an old woman has it and it's really cheap because she wanted a girl to have it. Such a good old woman, don't you think?" he turned his head towards her to admire her expression. He expected her to be happy and jump up and down thanking him but it was completely the opposite. At the beginning she was silent looking at him with her big dark blue eyes. Then tears started to gather up making her eyes to sparkle under the moonlight along with a small smile. Izaya felt something like magic being cast upon him. He had lost his ignorance and was completely drawn by her beauty under the moon.

"Thank you, Izaya..."

Her words came out slowly and melodically. They were music to his ears. He felt his whole body shiver and getting hot. His heart started to beat faster and his breathing slightly increased. Unconsciously he walked towards her and hugged her tightly. She got off guard for a moment but hugged him back and buried her face in his clothes. Izaya was trying to understand the reason of his actions. He hated when someone was touching him and he didn't like to have much physical contact with other human beings. Now there he was hugging someone on his own. But he didn't hate it.

They were closer to each other than they usually are and he could feel the warmness of her body around his and that wasn't annoying him. He took his eyes from the moon down to her. He could feel her tremble a little cause of the cold. He felt the need to protect her and touch her more. He slowly placed his hand under her chin and made her face him. Her eyes were still sparkling under the moonlight and her tears of thankfulness were running down her cheeks. His mind went blank and slowly approached her in an attempt to kiss her. She knew that so she closed her eyes slowly and waited.

"Hey! YOU TWO! GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!" an officer screamed at them making them jump away from each. Izaya looked at the officer confused and Cecilia looked down at him before turning to Izaya. Izaya shook his head and ran to the first floor to lock the door. Cecilia glared at the police officer from the darkness trying to hide from him.

"Just a little more…too bad!" she signed and looked at Izaya who returned.

"I locked the door, so he won't enter." he relaxed her.

"Do you think that he saw our faces?" she asked anxious, but she really didn't care anymore.

"Nuh… to dark to see. Well I am leaving! You should leave too. And here are the keys. The old woman lives there." he pointed a house with a blue roof. "Go and find her tomorrow. Have fun with your new house, princess!" Izaya smiled with his usual ignorance and jumped off. The officer noticed him and ran after him leaving Cecilia alone.

"Well… it was nice playing with you Izaya-kun~ I guess I didn't get my goodbye kiss after all..." she giggled sadly and left too.

When she arrived at the hotel she met with Saya to tell her the good news about the house that Izaya found for her and about her moving out soon after she gets a deal with the old lady who owned the house. Saya was very happy to hear that and offered to help her with moving her stuff. And so she did. Cecilia managed to get an even better deal than Izaya with the old lady in exchange of getting good care of the garden of the house and moved in two days later.

"By the way, Cecilia. What about Izaya?" Saya asked her friend while she was drinking tea with her at her new living room.

"Hm? Nothing. I don't need him anymore." Cecilia answered without care.

"I thought that you were friends."

"We are. I mean if he needs anything I won't have any problem helping him but only that. I took everything I wanted from him. He has nothing else to offer me after all. Now I think it's time to make some more friends… this time without an exchange." Cecilia winked at her ex landlord and sat more comfortably on her couch humming happily. Saya looked at her concerned.

"You have changed a lot in those two years, huh?" Saya whispered to herself.

"Huh?"

"Oh… nothing!"

Ok! That was it! Well the truth is that i got stuck with either Cecilia should continue using Izaya or not. So i decided to stop as she had anything she wanted. I am not going to revile yet Cecilia's past and Izaya's with Saya's past. Maybe later. But for now let's leave it like that and i will explain it better on the next chap. Cecilia will meet out other characters a little more in the next chapter too! Stay tuned! Thank you for reading! See ya next chapter!
