Finally! OH MY GOD! I finally managed to write the chapter... I am exhausted! And exams are coming closer and closer! And summer too!
*******ATTENTION!*******
NEVER! EVER! NEVER EVER WRITE A CHAPTER WHEN YOU ARE HORNY!
It's just a bad move... a very bad... bad... BAD MOVE!
Anyway! I got my inspiration back(until the next one... somehow) I really hope that you aren't getting confused about what is happening. At the future chapters I plan on explaining most of them.
Let me thank you for still being with me here guys!
Thank you 1Lionhearted0 and ShizuosPrincess for following and favoring the story! It means a lot to me guys!
Please enjoy everyone!
Plus... i believe i am driving Izaya to occ Izaya. Izaya is a person who can't possibly have romantic feelings for someone else as he is known as a possible asexual, but in the fanfictions I am reading, we have made him a fucking sex machine! And I really liked that! You can say that he is having sex to see the reactions of his partner! XD Not his victim! :P Anyway! Please forgive me.
Chapter 7
Fight Dragon - Part 1
still christmas… yeah such a big day...
Cecilia couldn't sleep. After she took a shower and got dressed she felt restless. She laid back on the bed next to a sleeping Izaya and tried to calm down and sleep but she was unable to from all the thoughts she had in her head. She turned around and grabbed her phone. '!7:00' Izaya was dead tired but she was refreshed and cool. Also it was still Christmas and she had got a good and a bad gift that day.
Bad gift? The wonderful news of Dragon finding her! She couldn't believe that Dragon hired someone to kill her and Izaya! She was supposed to be dead and no one should have known about her whereabouts. Well at least it was Shou. Shou was a cool guy. Deadly but cool. They had done lots of things in the past, so getting an opportunity to kill her was a good shot. There was no way he would refuse.
She started to laugh in silence remembering what they had done to each other. Then she remembered about him beating her, as Izaya had told her, and she promised to herself that she would beat his ass if she was going to get out alive.
"Alive huh?" she looked at Izaya next to her. For some reason Izaya kept her hidden and helped her a lot. She didn't really care about the reason he did it. Either if he did it for his own enjoyment or for future use, it didn't matter. She still found it weird. He was against Dragon and under Shou's gun. Anyone would crack and run for their dear life. Yet he didn't. That was a good gift indeed.
She smiled. Maybe the bed they shared was a good thing after all. She didn't have such good sex for years. Last time she had quality sex must have been with her ex boyfriend. She shook her head trying to not remember her ex. He ended up being a complete asshole and a pussy.
"And what is that thing with me being all horny after I get out of my recovery mode. I thought I had it under control." she murmured tired of how her body was reacting. Last time she had a recovery mode was after her fight with Varona. She had to take a leave for the next day to calm down a little. Now she did her best to not make any advances to Izaya but at the end she couldn't hold herself back and they did it. She didn't regret it at all but now it would be a little awkward.
"No… we said it was just sex..." she said to herself. "But damn..." She looked at the sleeping raven again. She smiled warmly at him and she ran her fingers through his soft and silk hair. He was so adorable. She wanted to wake him up for a second round but she held herself back.
She had more important things to take care off. She was out for a long time and she had to be informed about what was going on. Her life was too good to just give up now, and time was against her. She was sure that they were looking for her. She got nervously out of bed and ran to the door. Got her shoes, Izaya's jacket, some black sun-glasses she found there and left the apartment with his keys. On her way out she called Saya.
"Huh? You are going where? Are you crazy? You do realize that Dragon is after you right? Go back and hide!" Saya told to her younger friend.
"No! I can't just stay still! I did lots of idiotic things until now and waste enough time already!" Cecilia said and yawned.
"Like?"
"I slept with Izaya..."
"Oh shit... with Izaya from all people? I thought I told you to stay away from him, and not only you went directly at him, you even slept with him!" Saya said in a matter of fact tone. She sounded disappointed.
"Saya! I guess that you already know why I went directly at Izaya… you know about Dragon already so that is a given!" the siren cried at her older friend.
"Yeah! But you slept with him! This is a disgrace honey!" Saya continued.
"Ok ok! I get it! I was horny and he was available! Shoot me next time!" the younger girl said tired of hearing Saya's scoldings.
"Anyway, what are you going to do about Dragon? You knew how Dragon works yet you failed your mission. Why?" Saya asked in a serious tone making the siren come back to reality again.
"It's simple. I didn't give it too much thought! I found Izaya the second day I arrived in Ikebukuro. It was too easy! And I got into his house too! I reached for the ring Dragon wanted, I didn't find it, the end. Also I found and a house and a job and I made friends. You know how much I wanted a life like this Saya! I just wanted to live normally a little more..." Cecilia answered like there was nothing wrong with it.
"I know… I feel you but you had to find the ring Cecilia. Dragon is-"
"Dragon would kill me anyway. I am not welcomed to his kind… You better not know why… But I don't regret anything." The siren answered back with sadness growing inside of her. Saya remained silent for a while. She knew very well why Dragon and his kind didn't want Cecilia alive, she knew very well everything about her. After she left Yogsai-City she kept being in contact with the Boss to get information. But she promised to not talk… not yet…
"Do you believe that Izaya know where the ring is?" Saya asked again.
"He was also looking for it. And from what happened I guess he has no intent to give it away even if he has it. We haven't talk about it yet..."
Saya almost scream at the phone. "INSTEAD OF SLEEPING WITH HIM YOU COULD JUST SPEAK TO HIM! What the fuck is wrong with you? Do you plan on keep on living you little bitch or not?" Saya could be heard all the way around Cecilia, making some strangers turn to look at Cecilia confused. Cecilia drove the phone away from her ear so she could avoid her head being exploded from Saya's screams and waved at the strangers to go away.
"Relax! He is sleeping now so I left to do some research my self! Damn!"
"Also… I saw Alex with Shou at some point. Alex turned against you?" Saya asked worried. After all she was the one who told Alex about Cecilia and her new name. She never thought that he, from all people, would betray her like that.
"I don't really know. But why the fuck did you give Alex my name in the first place, Saya? Did you know him? I mean how the fuck did you trust him?" Cecilia asked her angry. Saya caught off guard. She again couldn't say that she knew that Alex was working for Cecilia in the past and that she knew that they knew each other so she gave it to him freely. That would be catastrophic for now. So she decided to lie.
"Um… he said that he… um… he was new and that he was looking for someone to help him around the city and that he was here for a new life…. Yeah… like you… you know that at my hotel are coming only people from out city for a new chance in life and-"
"Yeah yeah whatever! And you thought that it was a good idea? Jesus Saya! You destroyed me, you bitch!" Cecilia screamed this time when she saw Erica waving at her from afar. "Look, I have to go now. I will figure out something to do with Dragon. So you better keep your mouth shut for now!" the girl said and hanged up before Saya could react.
Cecilia approached Erica who was out with an other girl with her. The siren smiled at both of them.
"Cici! Oh my Cici!" Erica screamed and ran at the siren to hug her. "I am so glad to see you so well and refreshed! Damn girl! What happened with you and Izaya all alone into his house?" Erica asked bluntly at the girl while hitting her softly with her elbow. Cecilia turned all red as she didn't expect someone to know if she had sex or not. And good sex! She just shook her head smiling nervously.
"Nothing happened! Hey! Who is this cutie?" she tried to change the subject by pointing at the girl next to Erica.
"Oh! This is my friend Saki! She said that she didn't want to stay home so she came to find me again. She was just telling me that she wanted to talk to you!" Erica said happily and she pushed Saki towards the new coming girl. Cecilia smiled at her and she gave her hand to shook it. Saki did the same and smiled back. Erica kept staring at both of them.
"Oh yes Erica! Thank you very much for saving our asses back there! If you weren't there with Shizuo and Varona, me and Izaya would be dead." Cecilia smiled.
"And now you wouldn't be that happy and refreshed, huh?" Erica dropped the bomb again.
Saki all this time was watching them without saying a word. She was still holding the paper that Alex had given her a few hours before. Every time she would hear Izaya's name she would clinch her hands into fists.
"Ok ok! I will tell you some other time!" Cecilia finally gave up at Erica's teasing.
"I knew it!" The other girl exclaimed happily when Saki suddenly started to whisper.
"Stay away from Izaya!"
"Eh?" the two laughing girls looked at her.
"Stay away from Izaya. He is using you and you fell right into his trap. Stay away from him." Saki's tone started to volume up as she continued to repeat her words.
Cecilia looked at her astonished but Erica got what was going on. She took Saki into her arms and hugged her tightly. She believed that Cecilia was one of Izaya's victims like her.
"Saki. Izaya wasn't at fault this time. So calm down." Erica patted her head slowly. Cecilia looked at them tying to understand what was going on.
"Izaya… Izaya had her get involved in some business and that had as an outcome Saki to be kidnapped by blue squares and get out injured. Me and the rest saved her last time. Your case was almost the same as Saki's." Erica explained to the siren.
"I see..." Cecilia said feeling sorry for the kid. Saki left Erica's arms and sat down. Then she told Cecilia what happened some years ago when she met Izaya and how much of an idiot she was for following his instructions to get her current boyfriend. Cecilia wasn't surprised at all. She got what happened and thought that it was typical for someone like Izaya to do. The girl was just too easy to manipulate. When Saki finished her story she looked at Cecilia with tears in her eyes.
"So… if you really love your boyfriend, please go and find him here and stay away from Izaya..."
Saki gave Cecilia the paper Alex had given her. Cecilia with Erica looked both confused at Saki.
"Who gave it to you?" Cecilia's warm tone was gone. She could feel that something wasn't right.
"A guy named Alex. He loves you! You should stay away from Izaya… Izaya will use you like he did with me to get more people involved and make a huge mess just to enjoy himself… go there and find your boyfriend and stay away from Izaya... He told me to not tell you that he was the one who called you there because he said that you wouldn't appear but I trust you. I know that you are a good girl, because Erica is your friend. So-"
"Saki!" three voices were heard from behind them. It was Anri, Mikado and her boyfriend, Masaomi. Saki looked at them socked. Cecilia took the paper and studied the address. The three kids approached them, all worried about their friend. Apparently she lied about going out and because she was late they were looking for her.
"I was so worried about you Saki!" her boyfriend said.
"I am sorry..."
"Guys… it's Christmas… go and enjoy your selves." Cecilia suddenly shouted at them. Erica looked suspiciously at Cecilia but followed her lead.
"How about we all go for launch at Russian Sushi?" Erica offered.
"Yeah it would be a good idea." Mikado agreed.
"I will pass. I have a job to do." Cecilia winked at Saki and stared to walk away. Erica didn't like it and grabbed her by her hand.
"Cici… I didn't know you had a boyfriend… is something wrong?" she whispered into her friend's ear. The other girl smiled at her and shook her head.
"No… it's nothing important… he is just a dude who is obsessed with me, I am going to clear things up now." she lied to her beloved friend. She hated it but she had to keep her safe and away from Dragon and Shou and Alex. Izaya was enough. Erica didn't seem to be convinced but she let it go for the time being taking the other four to have dinner.
Cecilia looked at the address once again. She knew that building. It was tall, like fifty stores tall. It was a creepy place to have a meeting but she was feeling like Alex would be there alone for some reason. He maybe wanted to talk or apologize? That was so like him. He was also working shyly and didn't want to talk face to face. Shady guy. So she drove herself there. She climbed the building and found her way to the roof.
There she found someone alone waiting for her into the shadows. She walked confidently towards him and stood in the middle of the roof, arms crossed in front of her chest and legs opened like a bad ass woman she was. Her stand was screaming 'come at me bro with everything you have'.
"Alex!" she called annoyed and waited for him to turn around. She was angry at him for all the bullshit he had done. She knew that he snitched her at Shou and she wasn't going to let that slid like that! He was going to get beaten up!
That someone turned around and waved at her while holding a lighted cigar between his figures and a gun at his free hand.
"You gotta be fucking kidding me." the siren said and let her head fall in front of her and shook it feeling that it was so wrong for him to be there.
"Cecilia!" It wasn't Alex. It was Shou. Cecilia chuckled nervously hearing her new name being known to him and stared at his dark soul approaching her. The girl didn't move from her spot and waited. He placed his cigar back to his mouth and opened his gun to check his bullets. When he arrived in front of the girl, he stopped and turned the gun around letting five bullets fall on the ground between them. The girl watched them hit the ground and cause a metallic sound while rolling away on the ground.
"Five bullets… each one for my every comrade that got killed for no reason..." he said in a slow dark tone, betraying the pain and the sorrow he was carrying. The siren got stiffer and cold sweat was running down her back. She didn't know what to expect. His eyes were dead. His soul was damaged. A damaged dog is a dog who carries no feeling or mercy. The only thing it cares about is revenge. She stood motionless and waited for him to continue. Just because he had just emptied his visible gun in front of her that didn't mean that he didn't have any other gun with him. He was indeed the best paid assassin in Yogsai-City.
Shou looked at the bullets on the ground and then at the girl in front of him. He saw in her eyes that she wasn't going to underestimate him and that she was neutral. He felt relieved with her reaction and smirked.
"You are still the same, Manipulator. You never underestimate anyone. You kept your cool and didn't do anything unnecessary." he said softly and dragged his jacket to revealed a second gun under his belt. The girl didn't respond but closed her eyes to collect her thoughts.
"I hope that you don't have any hard feelings, eh?" he asked playfully and painfully.
"None, none. I would do the same in your place. A job is a job. We have talked about that." She waved her hand in front of her face like she didn't care, with her eyes still closed. Then she opened her eyes, placed her hands on his shoulders and brought her knee to his stomach with all her power. He gasped and fall on the ground in pain.
"I guess I deserved that." he coughed while on the ground.
"Yes, but I heard what you did to me. This was a payback." she snorted angrily and waited for him collect himself. He got up slowly while holding his stomach and stared at his cigarette on the floor disappointed.
"I am sorry, baby girl. But I had to do my job…"
"To make it clear. Are you here to kill me?" she cut him. He shook his head negatively.
"Are you going to kill me afterward?" He shook his head negatively again.
"I see. Now. How the fuck are your men dead? How is that even possible?" she asked obviously confused with his statement. She knew that those guys were invisible. Best shooters and ex-soldiers. Being killed was impossible.
"Dragon…"
Silence fall.
"Anyway… I am happy that you are alive. When I heard that you were dead I got sad."
She looked at him with most 'what the fuck are you talking about? I don't buy that bullshit' face she had, making him chock to thin air.
"It's true. But imagine my surprise when Dragon asked me to kill you."
"Bet you couldn't be happier." she answered for him and flip her hair away from her face. He hmed happily in response and took his cigar case out.
"Want one?" he offered her and she gladly accepted. She knew that he was going to speak about heavy things, as he was trying to cut smoking and he would smoke when things got stiff. They lighted their cigars and they sat on the cold floor.
"Manipulator, or else Cecilia for now, I am here to make a deal with you. We know each other a long time now so I can say that I can trust you on this one." He let some smoke escape from his mouth. The girl just nodded.
"Ok, I am listening."
"Well to make it clear. In Yogsai-City when you were declared dead everyone panicked. They didn't expect you, from all people, to be killed. And then chaos came. They all got that they weren't safe anymore. So you understand the madness right?"
"Yes."
"Well some people used that chaos and managed to get power above the rest. Dragon was also a victim. I heard that lots off his men were slayed and that people were after him."
"Wow… I didn't expect something like that to happen."
"Yes… Well a few days ago Dragon asked for me and he dropped me the bomb. You alive and living a new life! And the next bomb that he wanted to assassinate you in case you had failed your mission. I accepted, excuse me, but I didn't expect you bitch to fail!"
That annoyed the girl but she chose to stay silent.
"The guy asked you to get him a damn ring! Easy as killing an idiot in public space. Alex, that good for nothing idiot, explained to me what happened and why you left. That was nasty thing to happen baby girl!"
"It was, yes."
"And then we came here! I send Alex to go and get you and I found a local gang to get info about Orihara. That bluehead was a good boy, a little out of his mind but cool guy. Aoba his name. I was at that gang's hideout along with some of Dragon's men, and here comes Alex, saying that you had failed. I had to play along so I asked the gang to cooperate, of course with money in the middle."
Cecilia cringe when she heard that Alex had screw her up so badly. That guy was always a slow one.
"Well, then we found Orihara and you and I had to play my part baby girl! I had over twenty guys from Dragon, blend into that gang. Sorry for the hits."
"And the gun and you even stepped on me!" she hissed angrily at him. He dropped his head and apologized the classical Japanese way.
"Well a monster came to your rescue and kicked the shit out of us!" his happy go around attitude was gone and his aura got darker and chilli. "Dragon didn't like the news and he panicked I guess. So he ordered Alex to find you and send some of the rest of his men to kill me and my men. They shot us on the spot that night."
Cecilia gasped. She didn't expect that.
"You are kidding me right?"
"Nope… that night, after Alex and Dragon's men failed to find you, Alex came back to that hideout to check up on us as he heard about the beating. It was ugly man. They shot lots of people, even members from that gang. Dragon's men who were with me were all dead. My five men were also dead. I was lucky that I survived, only god knows how. Aoba, that gang's leader was furious. He asked for explanations. He seeks revenge. I was taken away from there by Alex immediately, leaving my men behind. Police has their bodies now but the incident was silenced and they said that yakuza was responsible."
"I see… that is why I didn't hear anything." she noticed and continued. "I fail to see where I am involved in all this. I mean if you want revenge you can work with that gang and finish the job. You are capable to do so much. Isn't that right?" she raised her eyebrow. It was too convenient.
Something didn't match.
"That is true. But I thought that you would maybe want to participate in all this." A cheeky smile appeared on his face. "I know you Manipulator. You enjoy taking revenge. You can't hide that, at least not from me." his smile became bigger.
She couldn't refuse it. She did enjoy taking revenge. She would love to take revenge on Dragon who was partly responsible for her city's destruction. It was a very seductive offer indeed. She tried to hide her smile by biting her lips but it was almost impossible.
"Fuck you Shou! I just want to live a peaceful life and here we are talking about killing Dragon. How can you be so cruel, man?"
Shou started to laugh his ass off with her response. She didn't change at all after all this time.
"Also I am doing this and for some other reason."
"Hm?"
"I didn't finish my story after all. When Alex took me away from there I was out. When I woke up I found my self at my brother's house."
"Brother? Wait! Really? That brother that left the city and then disappeared?"
"Yes. He found me and Alex on the street and took us in. His wife is a very pleasant woman. I am happy that he managed to make a family. Anyway. He saw a photo of you that I had in my wallet, a picture Alex had given me, and he recognized you. I heard that you saved his life so he asked me to not hurt you."
"I saved his life?"
"Yes. He told me that because he was in dept he took a gun and went to robe a restaurant. There he shot someone and you managed to talk to him and throw him out of his misery. I really own you. You know. Family first, then job and then the rest. You saved my family. I own you big time." he said thankful to her and gave her genius smile. She became all red and rubbed the back of her head.
"I do like what I hear and I am willing to help, yet I need to make sure that me and my family is safe too. If Dragon and his men are to be taken down here, is going someone to come after us?"
"Hm… from what Alex said, Dragon actually ran away from Yogsai-City to come and get that ring. He believes that this ring will give him the power to get his thesis back, so he made sure no one to ever know about the ring. So I guess that no one will come here after his death."
"Ok… and if Dragon is taken out there would be you and Alex who will know that I am alive." she said and stared at him hard. He got what she meant and what he had to do.
"I give you my word that I will keep it a secret about you, your whereabouts and your new name. I will take them with me to my grave."
"Thank you." she knew that she could trust him on this one. Yet she continued to feel a little worried about all this.
"And the plan is?" she asked to get more information so her worries would go away.
"Dragon has with him three servants and twenty more as guards. With Dragon we need to kill twenty four guys."
"Too many bodies..." she noticed. They weren't at Yogsai-City. They were out of there. Out of there meant that real police would be involved. It would be too risky.
"Yes. I can shot them alright, but I can't hide them..."
"The gang can't help?"
"Hm… well they are a bunch of amateurs. Can you really trust them to do such an important work?"
"Nope but they can help us kill them one by one."
"You mean?"
"If we manage to take each of Dragon's men into the city and kill them one by one, away from each other, it would be easier to get them and take them away. Then we lure Dragon out of his hideout, make him look like he is leaving the city, and we kill him."
Shou waited for a while to think. It would be convenient for any future question to send Dragon out of Ikebukuro and kill him. It would seem like Dragon just disappeared and would never come back.
"Interesting… We are going to talk with Aoba and Alex though. Can you do that?" Shou asked her.
"You know I can. Maybe I am not as strong as I used to be, but I can do as much as to manipulate."
Shou smiled and got up. Cecilia did the same. They both took one last smoke and threw their cigars away.
"You know… I am disappointed that Dragon asked from an outsider to come and kill me. But thank god he asked you to come. Or else I would have to kill you too. You know I was planning on killing him at some point. After all I don't have that god damned ring!"
"Speaking of the ring. How did you failed? Don't tell me you fell for that dude? He was hot alright, he even tried to save you from me. That was cute, but still..."
"Nope. I just got used to the kind of life I had. I didn't really pay much attention to it. I know silly, but I still wanted to cool off for a while..."
"I see… I bet that guy helped too, especially with your recovery." he winked at her with a mischievous smile. She kicked him in response and drove him to the door for the stairs. They got down from the emergency stairs at a dark alley next to the building. Cecilia turned to the assassin and gave him a piece of paper.
"Here is my number. Call me tomorrow and ask Alex and the leader of the gang to gather up. We need a plan."
"Ne! Tell me! That guy is into you, right?" he kept nagging her. "That is why he saved you and kept you hidden all this time."
"No. He likes humans. You know that I am not human." she cut him annoyed.
"Yeah yeah! I know that personally. You don't need to remind me!" he answered and bowed comically as they departed.
Izaya woke up tired and exhausted during the night. He felt like he was sleeping for centuries. He searched his phone to his bed side and checked the time. '20:30' He had been sleeping for some hours. His eyes were burning and he was hungry. He rolled over to see that next to him was no one. He got caught off guard for a while but then he remembered. He had sex with Cecilia, she took a shower and he fell asleep. He looked around him and saw that the apartment was dark.
"She left?" he questioned himself. He tried to drag himself out of bed. He walked naked around until he found the lights. Once the room was bright he closed his eyes blinded by the light. He didn't hear anyone complain so he guessed that she was away. He didn't really give any thought to it and just walked to the bathroom to finally take a bath. He filled the bathtub with hot water and dive in it.
He stared around him and then he noticed that he had left the bathroom's door open. He let his head rest at the end of the bathtub and he stare at the rest of the house from there. He could see his clothes all over the floor. Too many of them. Then he remembered that she was wearing his clothes previously.
Images of him and her having sex flashed. He could still remember the feeling of having her body in his arms and his lips on hers. He could still remember the argue to have her only for him, to make her think only of him and make her want only him. When he was having sex with someone his only thought was how to please himself and not his partner.
He never got excited by the idea of having sex with anyone. He thought that it was just a need to be fulfilled like eating or taking a shower. He had indeed slept with lots of different women in the past but this girl was something different. First of all she had amazing accuracy and stamina and wasn't shy at all. She knew what she wanted and she was making sure to get it. Something that not so many know how to do it. It was exciting sharing his bed with her. He was desperately trying to please her. He wanted to make her moan and call his name. He wanted to make her his. Everything was so different from what he was used to until then. Everything that girl was doing was new to him.
He brought his head at front again and dived deeper until the water was touching his nose. He closed his eyes to relax.
He never expected to be so excited about sex. He was more interested on making the others a big mess than actually be intimate with them. Was it weird for him to want to know more about her? But that girl was so interesting and he wanted to have more parts of her. He was intriguer by her.
Something inside him was sad because she was gone. Something very small, deep, deep inside of him. And it wanted to come out but he would stop it every time.
He kept sitting into the bathtub until he heard someone at his door. He immediately got up and left the water while wrapping a towel around his waist. He exited the bathroom and got face to face with Cecilia who was wearing his coat and had some paper bags in her arms.
"Oh you are awake!" she smiled at him and entered the house. Izaya smirked and watched her leaving the bags on the kitchen table while following her every move after that.
"I thought that you left." he said in hurt tone obviously mocking her. The girl chuckled while getting out of the bag some food.
"And? Now you are disappointed that I came back? We need to talk, right?" she winked at him smiling. Izaya waved and proceed to change into some clothes. His heart was now calmer and his sadness had left.
Cecilia tried to not look at him while he was changing so she kept her self busy by ordering the plates and the chopsticks on the table. When everything was set they sat to eat in peace and quiet. They kept eating without speaking to each other. That silence was awkward. Izaya had the urge to ask where she was until that time and why she was out when they were after her.
"So? Where were you?" he asked all of a sudden.
"Eh? Out. I met with Erica." she answered quickly and ate something. Izaya hmed as an answer."And you? Did you sleep well?" she asked this time.
"Yes. I was tired. You really took all my energy. Amazing I have to say."
"I see. Well I have to admit it. You were some of the few men who made me actually finish. Most of them would finish without me. It was always a let down." she winked at him. He smirked at her comment. She knew how to make a man feel good.
A few minutes passed before she gasped. "Fuck! I forgot to take the pill!" she said shocked and left the dinner table to go get her bag, almost running. She threw everything out of her bag on the bed and look through them until she found a pack of pills, shouting 'eureka' with the most relieved expression Izaya had seen. She took one, drank some water and sat satisfied back to her seat. Izaya was watching her all this time confused.
"What was that?" he asked trying to hold his laugh.
"Morning pill, or the pill of the next day, whatever! We didn't use any condoms bro! You even finished inside! Damn me! You wanted to become a daddy?" she asked exhaling air and all red. He couldn't hold it anymore and burst out laughing. Cecilia stood in a state of shock trying to get the reason of his reaction.
"And where did you find it? It's Christmas." he asked inside his laughter.
"Oh, I asked Saya to send me some with Celty. I had some at my house. I asked her to bring me and some condoms too, but at the end we didn't use them. Thank god I asked for morning pills." she answered like she was talking to herself.
Izaya lost his smile and stopped laughing.
"I think I should go and check my self." she continued her monologue.
"Check your self?" he started to get annoyed.
"Yes. I usually use condoms, you know. But yesterday I didn't ask you to use one… it was stupid… ah man..." she cried confused as she buried her face into her arms.
Izaya smirked. "I usually use condoms too. Yesterday I didn't ask to use any too. So we are both at fault. It's only human to make mistakes like this." She raised her head and stuck her tongue out.
"I am not a full blood human, though..." she added. He took a sip from his tea. "That is true indeed." he agreed.
Cecilia felt weird for a minute. His voice was sad and had a tone of disappointment into it. He loved humans. He was adoring humans. He was head over heels for humans. She could still remember his theories about humans and their ways. He would speak for hours and hours when they were working for his jobs. His face was all lighten up when he was talking about humans. Sometimes she was getting jealous of how someone can love someone like this, even if it was an entire race, like humans. But she never minded him. He was just giving information. But now she was aching inside. It must be her hormones after her recovery mode. That must be. That proved that she wasn't human. She didn't have periods like normal girls to have mood swigs, or bleed, or be in pain… she had recovery modes. That wasn't human. And that proved Shou wrong. Someone would expect her to be happy for being proven right, but she wasn't.
"Do you regret it?" she asked all of a sudden.
"Regret what?"
"Regret having sex with a monster." she continued blandly. Her emotions needed to know that answer.
"I don't." he gave her a small smile.
"You are a smooth talker. I like that." she smiled, reassured this time and got up. She walked to the fridge and got a bottle of red wine out. She took two wine glasses and placed them all at the table in front of the couch. Izaya followed her there and sat beside her. She opened the bottle and pure wine into the glasses.
"I met with Shou." she stated all of a sudden. Izaya chocked and almost make a mess with his wine. He wanted to make others what he wanted in order to see their reactions, yet he hated when they were doing it to him.
"Why? Wasn't he the one who was supposed to kill you?" he asked confused and feeling himself getting dizzy.
"It's complicated how he managed to find me, but he did. Well, there is plan to take Dragon down and to close what was left open, for me and for you. Are you interested?" she asked.
"I am listening."
"I have not much to say about it. Shou and that gang that got me, Blue Squares? They want to kill Dragon, because he killed their men. It's about revenge. A perfect opportunity to get ride of him."
"So why don't you let them do your job and just observe from above?"
"That is indeed a good idea, but I want to make sure that everything is done right. I don't like half done jobs."
"And what makes you think that I want to go against Dragon? What if I betray you?" he continued.
"I don't and I am not worried about it. You will just have to be killed at the end too. I make no exceptions. Your death won't cause me any kind of problems. It would be like you never existed in my life. Also I won't feel bad either. I am happy that you saved me but betrayal is unforgivable."
Izaya was left speechless. She was cold and ruthless. She was a monster after all. He sat back amused and raised his glass.
"So...Are you interested in my story?" he asked next.
"I am, but that ring won't be any use to me anymore, so you are free to keep it to yourself."
He raised his eyebrow bewildered. "You think that I have it?"
"I honestly don't know and I don't care. For you to don't do anything until now to get ride of Dragon means two things. One you don't have it or two you have it and you have no reason or intention of giving it to him. Anyway both reasons have nothing to do with me right now. Which means you can keep the ring. Dragon is going down."
Silence fell again. They looked at each other. She smiled at him and he turned towards the table.
"Do you trust him?" he asked her concerned.
"Who?"
"Shou? You sound like the job is done."
"I do. We know each other for quite some time after all."
"And he was willing to kill you?"
"It was his job. Dragon hired him to kill me. In his place I would do the same. No hard feelings involved." she took a sip from her wine in a delicate way and placed it back to the table. Izaya was watching her every move and was trying to understand her way of thinking. A normal person wouldn't do nothing of what she did. They wouldn't go outside while they are being targeted, they wouldn't even talk with their own assassin. They wouldn't even think to make a plan to take down their enemy. It was crazy. Everything was crazy and dangerous. And he loved it. It was thrilling. It was unique. She was acting completely different from what he expect and that was raising his ecstasy. He finally found someone who was acting and thinking differently. He didn't feel the slightest regret for what he was thinking during his bath. He was right after all. He needed her to keep him busy. He needed her to keep him alive.
'I am not a full blood human though...'
That stopped his wave.
She wasn't a human…
She wasn't a human…
She wasn't a human…
She wasn't a monster like Shizuo. She was a monster like Celty, in which he never got any kind of interest to begin with. He never bothered to play with her to get her reactions and he never had the yearning to see her reactions. Not that someone could see them. She had no head. Only Shinra could see them. Yet he kept facing Cecilia like she was a human being.
He kept holding his glass with the wine between his fingers and kept playing with it with thoughts like that. The wine was dancing inside the glass carefully to not let a drop fall on the carpet below. His thoughts were lost in it while Cecilia from the other side was drinking one glass after an other. She started to get nervous about the whole situation. She was trying to keep her cool, and her hormones in check and the best cure was the alcohol. So she kept on drinking.
"You know, that ring was a gift from my father to my mother." he sounded all of a sudden making the siren stop drinking her third glass of wine. She shifted her view to him and let the glass down. He had her whole attention.
"The stone is a very beautiful, clear blue stone. This stone can cause lots of destruction if it happened to fall on the wrong hands. So my father started to spread rumors that the ring was cursed to make buyers and other interested people to go away. Dragon was one of them. He didn't like it at all and tried to get it a few times but he failed. Because he wouldn't give up we let him steal a fake one. It has been years since then."
"I see… So the ring is a family reminder, yes?"
"You can say that. My parents died at an accident years ago. I raised my two sisters but they can manage on their own. My job gets enough money so I can pay for everything." he became a little over dramatic making the girl cringe.
"That is so out of character. What is your goal here?"
Izaya chuckled. "I just want to give you a reason to trust me so I will come out alive from all this." he smiled innocently.
"I bet you do." she agreed with him.
"So? What is your story?" he asked next. She glared at him not amused. She wasn't really into the mood to give any kind of explanations. She didn't want to do anything. Just sleep and forget about everything.
"No story… I…" she stopped and looked at her glass. "I just want a normal life… a life where I won't have to run for my life, where I won't have to fear for my life 24/7... that is my chance. Tomorrow… from tomorrow everything will be over…." her eyes lighten up and looked at him with hope.
He blushed with her sudden change of attitude and couched to cover it up. 'She is going to be the death of me...' he thought and took a big sip from his wine. She got up from the couch and went towards the bed.
"Ne Izi… I am sorry… for trying to take from you something so important." Izaya stared at her and she laid down on the bed where she fell asleep immediately.
Izaya stayed awake for some more time to think about her suggestions. She didn't give any kind of useful information about it but it was indeed a good deal. He didn't know what he had to do, if he had a role in this, but getting Dragon out was indeed good, for now. Yet he didn't know if there was anyone else who would come after that ring again. Dragon must wanted to use the ring for something to make him check it after all those years. That was a worrisome event on its own.
"What could he possibly use it for?" he asked himself when he received a message on his phone.
He grabbed it from the floor and saw that it was one of his sisters. He answered annoyed.
"What do you want? Do you know what time is it?"
"We heard that Cecilia-san is in trouble and we want to help..." one the twins voice was heard.
"She is indeed. And I am too. You don't care about me?" he pouted playfully with his eyes on the sleeping siren.
"No! Iza-nii can go die. We don't care! We have the ring. Come and take it." one of his sisters said and hanged up. Izaya was left astonished. He immediately got his jacket, his keys and left the house. He had to go to his sisters' house asap. While walking down the street he could still smell Cecilia's cologne from his coat. That made him remember her body and have a desire for her but then he bump on a dude and he set his thoughts free. He apologized quickly and left but didn't really see who it was. He continued his way to his sisters completely ignoring the rest of the world around him. What he was thinking was the ring and the siren. A weird combination indeed. When he finally rang the bell he felt like he was brought back to the real world. His two sisters appeared at the door and dragged him in. They sat him at their couch and they sat on the floor. On the table was a small white box.
"Is that it?" he asked. They nodded. "Why do you have it?"
"It was from our parents..."
"How did you get it? When?"
"Last year when you were gone after your fight with Shizuo-onisan."
"I see… and now why do you give it to me?"
The twins looked at each other.
"Aoba told us about it."
"The blue squares boss?"
"And he told us that if she had the ring now she wouldn't have any kind of problem..."
Izaya didn't respond but grabbed the white box and open it. It had inside the ring. It had been years since the last time he had seen it, and it was still beautiful and crystal clear. He closed it and shoved it into his jacket.
"Thank you..." he got his body and soul and proceed to find his way out of the house.
"Iza-nii!" one of his sisters called him. "Be careful" she wished as she closed the door behind him.
He shook his head, slightly happy and left the building. He had his hands into his pockets to check on the ring when someone stopped him on his way out of the building where he was. Izaya started to examine the guy in front of him.
"I am sorry, but I am in a hurry." he said politely as he didn't have the energy to play with him and tried to escape from the man. The man again didn't say anything but stopped him from leaving by grabbing him from his arm. Izaya looked at the guy again. He was tall, red hair and green eyes. He didn't know who he was. In a matter of fact he didn't know anything.
"You have a problem with me?" he asked the unknown redhead.
"No. But you have something I want." the redhead answered. Izaya raised his eyebrows and decided to play it like he didn't understand.
"I don't have anything you need. I don't even know you." he answered innocently dragging his arm away from the other man's arms.
"You have that ring. I never believed a word Cecilia said. You have it right?"
"You work for Dragon huh?" Izaya took his pocket knife out of his jacket.
"In a matter of fact I do. Well, I work pretty much for everybody, you know, whoever offers me more… so now I am working for Dragon." Alex smiled silly and waited for Izaya's response.
"How did you find me?"
"Ho~? You want to do this conversation now? I followed Cecilia. She did the wrong move and walked instead of jumping. So when she finished with her meeting, which I arranged of course, I followed her to your apartment. No wonder I didn't manage to find it all this time." Alex said smiling. Izaya wasn't impressed at all. Yet he was interested at his previous statement.
"You said you are working for those who gives you more?"
"Yes."
"I see… And what will happen if I refuse to follow you?"
"Then I will have to kill Cecilia. And I know that you care about her. You did save her last time we had you!" Alex started to laugh ironically. "You must be an idiot to actually want to save someone like Cecilia. She will just use you and throw you away. Like she always does. It's common for people like her. And like you. I bet you know your own kind, right? You don't need my advice on that one..."
Izaya remained silent. His hand was squeezing the little box into his pocket like crazy.
"Well, right now my men are getting Cecilia out of your apartment, so I will have to ask you to follow me. Unless you want to do it the hard way." Izaya didn't have an other choice as almost ten men appeared around him. He just gave up and followed them.
Ok! At the next chap our chars will have to face Dragon as things didn't turn like they wanted!
After Dragon the story will continue with new enemies and more situations between Izaya and Cecilia.
