A/N: Here is chapter two, I had already written two chapters, so I decided to place this one too. Enjoy reading and please review.

Summary: Izaya has been having headaches lately and when more symptoms appear he decides to go to the hospital. There he gets to hear that he has brain cancer.

Disclaimer: I don't own Durarara!

Opening the door to his apartment he walked inside, to see that Namie was still there. "I thought you would have left already." Izaya commented.

"I thought I would hear what's wrong with you first before going home." Was his assistant's answer. Izaya took of his jacket and walked over to his desk before placing the bag of medicine on top of it and taking place in his chair.

"Not much, nothing that can't be cured with some medicine." Izaya said and turned around in his chair to look out the window to the people below. They didn't have a care in the world and here he was with a tumor in his brain, which he didn't even know if it was deadly or not. It was at least affecting him, so he just hoped that Namie wouldn't notice anything if it wasn't getting any better, but worse for that matter.

He heard some rustling behind him and he turned around to see Namie holding his bag with medicine. "What kind of medicine did you get?" Izaya stood up and grabbed the bag from her.

"That's none of you business. We're done for today, so can you just leave?" He really didn't want her to find out. Nobody needed to find out, he would handle this on his own.

"Fine, but if something happens to you, don't expect any help from me." With that Namie grabbed her stuff and headed out the apartment.

Izaya closed his eyes for a moment. He honestly didn't want anyone to know, but hearing that someone didn't care if something happened to him was still not a great thing to hear. Here he was worrying about the fact if something might happen to him and honestly he didn't want to think about dying, but he knew it was possible with a brain tumor.

Opening the bag of medicine he grabbed the bottles for the corticosteroids and the antiseizure medicine and grabbed the pills he would need to take and took them together with some water.

Izaya hoped the medicine would work, but who knows, maybe they wouldn't be enough to help. He felt quite tired and didn't really feel like eating, so he went upstairs and to his bedroom to sleep for as long as he would need.

A week had gone by way too fast for him. The symptoms had become a bit less noticeable thanks to the medication, but if he forgot to take them they still came back. Not to mention that he still had a headache most of the time and was more irritable. He had already lost count how many times he had snapped at Namie.

Now he was on his way to the hospital and he honestly dreaded the talk that he would need to have with the doctor. If it wasn't necessary then he wouldn't have come back, but even he realized that this was serious and that there was no way he was getting out of this without help, even though he hated admitting that he even needed help.

Orihara Izaya saw himself as a god, who stood above the humans, but now reality has come to take him down. Why couldn't he be immune for things like this? Why did it have to happen to him? Had he already waited too long before going to a hospital? Was he going to die? The last question was the one he most dreaded. He really didn't want to die. He was afraid of dying, but he was never going to let anyone see that weakness. He would keep on hiding behind a mask and pretend that everything is alright. Nobody needed to know about this. He could do this on his own.

Izaya was brought out of his thoughts when he arrived at the hospital. He had purposefully chosen to go to one in Shinjuku and not in Ikebukuro, since it would be a hassle to walk into the protozoan while he was there.

Calming his nerves for a bit he put on a fake smile and walked into the hospital. Nobody needed to see what he really felt inside and how nervous he really was. "I'm here for the appointment of Orihara Izaya." Izaya said once he was at the desk.

"Ah right, if you can wait for a bit then the doctor will come to get you." The woman behind the desk said to which Izaya nodded and went over to a chair before sitting down on it. He had honestly hoped that he wouldn't have to wait, but it seems like he didn't have that much luck.

After a while his name was finally called. "Orihara Izaya." It was a nurse who had come to get him and Izaya slowly stood up to follow her, but he suddenly lost his balance while standing up and had to grab the chair he had been sitting on to stay upright. Cursing under his breath he stabilized himself before making his way over to the nurse.

"Are you alright, sir?" Izaya just ignored her and walked behind her to the room where the doctor was, once there the nurse went in before him and over to the doctor before leaving. Izaya said down on the other chair and waited for the doctor to pay attention to him.

"Orihara-san, how have you been doing?" Asked the doctor when he turned around to face his patient.

"I have been fine." Izaya lied, of course he hadn't been completely fine, but there was no way he was going to tell the doctor that.

"Are the medicine helping?" The doctor asked and Izaya sighed.

"Yeah, they have, it's just that when I didn't take one for a while the symptoms came back." Izaya decided to answer truthfully.

"The nurse told me that you lost your balance just now in the waiting room. Is that true?" Izaya wanted to glare at the nurse for telling the doctor, but she was no longer there.

"Yes." Was all he answered.

"Alright, let's talk about the treatment then, that is if you want to go into treatment. If you don't you will definitely die, it's just not clear how long that will take." The doctor said very seriously and Izaya stared at him for a moment.

"I have decided to try the treatment." Izaya said. He hoped that everything would be done with as soon as the treatment was over. He just hoped that it wouldn't take too much time.

"I have discussed with a team what we think would be the best course of action. We won't do anything you don't want to, but you must realize that all this is necessary. There is one thing I need to tell you though. There is better treatment for you at the hospital in Ikebukuro, so I would advise you to go there for the treatment." Izaya's eyes opened wide at this.

"I can't do that, I will get killed if I do that." Izaya said to which the doctor looked at him surprised.

"It shouldn't be that bad right? Even though you might want someone to take you to and from the hospital while you're in treatment." Izaya sighed at that. He really didn't have anyone like that. Who would want to help him? No one right? He didn't want other people's pity either, so there was no way he was going to ask for help.

"I have no one to help me." He said and he noticed the doctor's sad look.

"I had hoped you would have someone to help you through this." Izaya glared at the doctor at that.

"I don't have anyone, but I might have someone who could take me to and from the hospital, even though she will do it as a job instead." Izaya said.

"Alright, if you could ask her to help you, then I'm fine with that. Maybe you could contact her right now if possible?" The doctor proposed and Izaya sighed.

"She doesn't talk, so it will have to be by text, she might not reply immediately." Izaya said, but grabbed his phone anyway and started sending a text.

[Hey Celty! I have a new job for you and I want to discuss the details with you. Could you please come to the hospital in Shinjuku?] Izaya send the text and he got one back almost immediately.

[If it's a job then it's fine, but why the hospital?]

[I will tell you when you get here, so could you please come right now?]

[Alright, I'm on my way, I will text you when I'm there.]

"She's coming." Izaya said to the doctor.

"Do you want me to explain our treatment right now or when she is here?" Izaya shook his head at that.

"You can tell me right now." Izaya answered.

"Alright, we want to start with removing the tumor surgically. We will try to take away as much as possible without damaging your brain. The recovery period is different per person, but at the very least it will take two weeks. We will also take a biopsy, so that we can determine what kind of tumor it is." Izaya nodded. This was something he could still understand.

"After the recovery we will start with radio therapy, which will consist of a treatment for seven weeks from monday till friday, the treatment will take a few hours. After the radio therapy we will finish your treatment with chemotherapy, to make sure that the last of the tumor cells will die. This will happen in cycles of four weeks. You will receive treatment on the first three days and then you will have time to recover till the new cycle starts. This will be happening for as long as it will be deemed necessary. Of course you will also need to take medication for the side effects, since there are some of them. I will give you a folder where you can read all about them." The doctor finished and Izaya wanted to ask him a question when he got a text.

[I'm at the hospital, at the main entrance.] Izaya looked to the doctor.

"The courier is here, can I go and pick her up to come in here before we go any further in this discussion?" The doctor nodded and Izaya left the room to find Celty.

Once he had found the woman he made his way over to her. [Izaya, what do you need me to do?] Was all she asked.

"I will tell you, but can you follow me first?" The raven asked, but didn't wait for an answer before he walked back to the room followed by Celty.

Once inside the room Izaya sat down again and then pointed from Celty to the doctor. "This is Celty, the one I was talking about." Izaya said.

[What do you mean with that?] The woman asked, but Izaya ignored her.

"Could you please explain to her why she is here?" Izaya asked the doctor to which he nodded.

"We have found a tumor in the brain of Orihara-san. He will be receiving treatment, but in the hospital in Ikebukuro. But to be able to do that he will need someone to take him to and from the hospital especially when he is weak after treatment." The doctor explained and Izaya could see how shocked the woman beside him was.

[What do you mean? Izaya has a brain tumor?] Celty was clearly shocked and Izaya let out a sigh.

"Yeah, it's pretty shocking isn't it, but I really need your help, I can't afford to run into Shizu-chan when I'm weak from treatment." Izaya said and saw the woman hesitate for a moment. "I will pay you, but in return I expect you not to tell anyone about this. Just tell Shinra that you're doing a job for me."

The dullahan seemed to think this over but then nodded her helmet. [Fine, I will help you.] Izaya could hear the doctor sigh in relieve.

"Alright, now that is settled, I wanted to ask you when the surgery will take place." Izaya said and looked at the doctor.

"We want to move fast, so you can be helped before it might be too late." Izaya shuddered at that thought, he really didn't want for it to be too late. "We will keep you in the hospital for at least two weeks after the surgery, so in that time Celty won't be needed, but as soon as you start radio therapy, she will be needed." The doctor explained and the dullahan nodded her head.

"Do you need to tell me anything more?" Izaya asked, but the doctor shook his head.

"I will call you to give you the exact time and day that the surgery will take place." With that Izaya thanked the doctor and walked out with Celty.

[Are you alright?] Izaya smiled a fake smile at that question.

"Why wouldn't I be?" He was lying, he knew it himself, but there was no way he was going to show weakness.

[If you ever need to talk, I'm here for you.] At that the raven looked to the woman in surprise.

"I never thought I would hear that from you." Izaya said, but kept his smile. "But I might take you up on your offer when I need it."

[Shall I take you home?] The dullahan asked, but Izaya shook his head.

"I will be fine on my own." Izaya said and then separated his way with the dullahan.
