Hello my lovelies! I'm so sorry about my absence and keeping everyone waiting, I really did intend to come back to this story ;w; But here I am with a new chapter and more to come.

I really did miss this and when I saw I was still getting a few reviews for it even now...it made me happy. So here I am to provide! Would you guys like to see more of Kanra and Shizuo interacting with other characters, or with each other more? Or any fan favorite characters you'd like me to squeeze in? Let me know!

Thank you so much for your patience and, hopefully, understanding. As always, enjoy the chapter.

Gratefully and Sincerely

Shizuo wasn't quite sure what to do with himself now. Kanra laid there on his couch still passed out and wasn't moving at all. He even kept checking to make sure she was breathing, which she was. Damn this was his fault. Wait, it's her fault for egging him on!

"Gah!" Shizuo had grumbled out loud. He huffed and sat on a chair across from the couch then leaned over and watched the girl closely. There was no point in making himself angry but it was just...her presence here. Shizuo would never let Izaya anywhere near his own home. Then again if he ever did manage to land a hit on Izaya then he would have taken the opportunity to finish him off. Shizuo sighed and thought back to Kanra laying on the couch. Maybe he should get ready for when she does wake up. Painkillers could help? Some water? What is something that Shinra would do when he got bruises...Ice is really all the blonde had.

Shizuo was up and about again getting the supplies together he had thought of. He came back with them and set them on the table before gently laying the bag of ice on Kanra's neck. That should be better. Now being so close to the girl he could get a good look at her. Honestly she does really look like Izaya. Everything from the hair and the nose a little too. Her lips were a bit more plump though. A thought then crossed Shizuo's mind. Could her hair actually be a…? His hand reached out carefully to touch Kanra's black hair and ever slightly pull at it. But Shizuo jumped back when a response came from the girl.

"...It's not a wig if that's what you're thinking." At that her auburn eyes opened and a smirk when to her lips. Shizuo had taken a step back by now and was back over to the chair. "I-I wasn't!" Such a bad liar. Kanra moved a little bit before reaching up and grabbing the ice pack before it fell and keeping it to her neck. "That bad huh?" Kanra sighed and slowly sat up. Shizuo really does pack a wallop, and that was him holding back. A slight flinch could be seen on the blonde's face when she asked that. Better not to answer.

"How long were you awake?" Shizuo asked.

"Not very long...I woke up when I heard you thumping around. But I decided to pretend to be asleep to see if you were up to anything. And you were." Kanra chuckled which made him glare at her of course then look away.

"Look it's not my fault you kept pushing at me. You should know the consequences if you know me so well." The last part came out as a scoff from him. Kanra simply shrugged at it.

"Oh I know. I think I learned better now so…" Before Kanra could really finish what she was going to say Shizuo cut her off.

"I won't hit you again…"

Even that made Kanra pause and stare at him.

"Eh...what?" Shizuo, with how easily irritated he is, snapped his glaring eyes at Kanra.

"I won't hit you again! You may be like Izaya but...you're still a girl. I guess…" A short snort came from the young girl.

"Yeah you're only now believing that I'm a girl after checking my hair isn't a wig." Another death glare that actually made him seem more embarrassed than angry. But Kanra just laughed it off. To Shizuo, that laugh seemed a little different. "If you think you can hold yourself to that, then sure. It doesn't mean I will stop what I'm doing. But I think I should hold up my end of the deal again right?" The blonde was a little confused as to what she was talking about before it hit him and he sat up more, even leaning closer to her. That caught his attention. The young girl leaned back a little and adjusted the ice on her neck as she thought what to tell him about Izaya. "I gotta get better at not being caught." She huffed slightly.

"Well...Izaya is no longer in Japan. So if you had a secret hope of passing him by here in Tokyo, it's not gonna happen." The blonde visibly sank a little from her words. He did sort of have that hope. A stupid hope at least. "The last time I talked to him was a little over a month ago now." This made Shizuo look right back at her although her head was down.

"You've been talking to him?" A sharp and urgent knock on the door cut away at the two's attention. Before Shizuo could even go open it here strolls in Shinra.

"Ah Kanra! You're ok…" The doctor was huffing as if he ran a mile.

"Shinra, good timing." The young girl smiled as she stood and walked over to him. For a moment she had a bit of a dizzy spell but fought it off and kept walking until she was back at the door. "I think it's best we get going. You should check me for a concussion." Shinra looked up at her with a raised brow.

"Don't you want to stay here and be checked? It's not best for you to be walking…"

"My presence here won't be very welcomed." That earned Kanra a look from Shizuo as he slowly stood.

"...She's right. You have better equipment at your place." Shizuo also knew he wasn't going to be getting anymore information out of her for now. This prompted Shinra to groan loudly.

"But I came all the way here…!" Even with his complaining, Kanra managed to move him out of the apartment and back to his place, leaving Shizuo alone with his thoughts and the little information Kanra gave him this time.
