A/N: Here is chapter 10! I hope you don't hate me for doing this to Izaya, but I'm not really sorry for it. Anyway, enjoy reading this chapter 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.

Izaya got woken up by a knock at his bedroom door. He groaned a bit and turned to his side, since he didn't feel like waking up yet. The knocking became louder, but Izaya still tried to ignore it.

"Izaya! Shizuo is here to pick you up, so get ready to go." He heard Namie's voice through the door. Suddenly he sat up in bed, but clearly too fast, since he felt immediately dizzy. Laying back down for a bit, he heard his door open and saw Namie walking in.

"Were you still sleeping?" The woman asked.

"Yeah, sorry, tell Shizu-chan I will be down soon." Izaya mumbled and closed his eyes for a bit.

"Don't go back to sleep, next time I will send him up if you're not downstairs soon." Namie said before leaving him in his bedroom once more.

Celty had told him yesterday that she wouldn't be able to help him today, so she had made sure that Shizuo would be there to help him to and from the hospital.

Izaya pulled his blankets of him and slipped out of his bed, before heading over to his closet and grabbing some clothes to put on. The treatment had been going on for another four weeks and he honestly didn't feel like going on with this any longer, even though he was entering the last week of radiotherapy. The medicine he had gotten at the start of the third week had helped a bit, but the nausea had still been there and the tiredness had only increased with every treatment. He had been able to recover a bit every weekend, but it still wasn't enough. He felt tired and drained of his energy and that was not even the worst, but something seemed to have made the symptoms worse too. The uncontrolled movements and the headaches have been coming back. Especially last week, it would probably be better to tell the doctor about it today.

Lost in his thoughts he hadn't noticed that he had been taking his time and was still holding his clothes without having put them on. A knock came on the door and this time it was more forceful, indicating that it had to be Shizuo this time.

"Izaya, have you gone back to sleep?" It was clear that the blonde was trying to keep his calm and Izaya was grateful for that. He really couldn't handle an angry blonde now.

"I'm getting dressed." Izaya said, making sure the blonde wouldn't come inside while he was changing clothes.

After having changed his clothes, Izaya opened the door to see Shizuo standing there.

"That took you long enough." The blonde commented.

"I know, sorry, I'm just tired." He said and started walking down the stairs carefully, but not carefully enough, since halfway down he felt his foot slip and lost his balance. He felt himself fall down, but before he could hit anything he felt a strong arm wrap around him.

"Watch out, you don't want to fall." He heard Shizuo say, while his heart was beating fast. This was why Izaya didn't like stairs anymore, he was afraid that he would fall down and just now had been once again proof for it. "Izaya?" Shizuo reminded him that he hadn't said anything yet.

"I'm fine Shizu-chan, thanks for catching me." But Izaya could feel his body shaking, which was clearly not convincing the blonde, but luckily Shizuo didn't comment on it.

Getting out of the blonde's arms he stepped down the stairs shakily. Once downstairs he stood still for a bit, willing his heart to calm down. Shizuo was soon by his side, but before the blonde could say anything Izaya turned towards the door. "Let's go Shizu-chan." The blonde had no time to protest, since Izaya just walked out of his apartment without waiting for the blonde.

"I called a cab." He heard the blonde say once they were outside the building. Izaya looked at the street and soon spotted the cab.

"That is the one right?" He asked the blonde to make sure that he would step into the right one. A nod from the blonde confirmed it and they went together into the cab before telling it to go to the hospital.

Once at the hospital they got out of the cab and into the hospital. "You don't need to go with me Shizu-chan, since you might need to wait for a few hours." Izaya said, but Shizuo shook his head.

"I'm free anyway, so I will be staying here waiting for you." The blonde wasn't going to tell the raven that the doctor had wanted to talk to him about how it was going, since the raven would definitely not like that.

"Fine, it's your free time." Izaya said and then knocked on a door once they had arrived.

"Come in." They heard from inside and the both of them walked inside once the door was opened by Izaya.

"Ah, welcome, Orihara-san and Heiwajima-san." The doctor said and pointed to two chairs where they could sit down.

"How have you been feeling?" Was the first thing the doctor asked Izaya.

"Still tired and sometimes nauseous." Izaya answered.

"How have the symptoms been?" Izaya knew exactly what the doctor meant and he knew that telling the truth was what was needed, but saying it where Shizuo was sitting next to him, was not something he felt really comfortable with.

"They have gotten worse over the past week." Izaya mumbled and when he looked at Shizuo he could see the blonde staring at him slightly concerned.

"Have you been taking your medicine?" The doctor asked and Izaya glared at him. Did he really think that he wasn't taking his medicine?

"I have." Izaya answered curtly.

"I didn't mean it as accusing, it was just a routine question." The doctor told Izaya. "But we will need to look into that, since the symptoms shouldn't be getting worse." Izaya felt his heart sink when he heard this. This could probably only mean one thing right? Had the tumor grown again or was there something else?

"You mean, that the tumor might have grown bigger right?" Izaya asked just to have it clarified. He honestly hoped that that wasn't true, but he knew it was a possibility.

"Sadly, that is a possibility." The doctor answered honestly. "I want to do another MRI, so that we can see what is wrong." Izaya really didn't like this. He had hoped that he wouldn't need a second surgery, but if the tumor had grown, that was definitely unavoidable.

"You mean to say that the treatment he has been having isn't working?" Shizuo asked suddenly and Izaya noticed that he was definitely concerned.

"That can be possible. I would like to start the treatment now and then afterwards, we will do an MRI to see what is wrong." The doctor said and Izaya honestly didn't feel like going to the treatment now, but seeing as he didn't have a choice he slowly stood up.

"I will be back in a while, Shizu-chan." That was the last thing Izaya said to the blonde before he disappeared to the other room, leaving Shizuo behind.

Shizuo had waited for the doctor to come back, since he had wanted to talk. He had to wait for a bit, but he knew that it had to be a lot worse for Izaya, so he waited patiently for once.

Soon enough the door opened again and the doctor came inside. "Heiwajima-san? I would like to talk about how it is going with Orihara-san." Shizuo nodded.

"How has he been doing? Has anything caught your attention?" Shizuo didn't need to think about this.

"He has been really tired and his movements have been very careful, as if he is afraid for his body to move wrong. This morning he slipped and almost fell down the stairs, but I was able to catch him before he really fell." Shizuo said, thinking about what had happened that morning. "His eating habits have improved for what his assistant told me and I don't think he has lost more weight, even though I don't know if he has gained any weight." The doctor nodded.

"It seems as if the symptoms have been getting worse and the treatment has been making him more tired than he was before. I had wanted to start the Chemotherapy next week, but we might need to do a surgery first if the tumor has grown back." The doctor said and Shizuo felt concerned for the raven. He knew Izaya really didn't want a second surgery, but now it seemed like it wasn't possible to avoid it.

"Izaya doesn't really like the idea of a second surgery." Shizuo decided to tell the doctor about this.

"That was something I noticed, but it might be the only way to remove the tumor, even though we would need to watch out for damaging the brain during surgery, since I'm planning on removing it fully this time." Shizuo didn't like the fact that the doctor was worried about damaging the raven's brain.

"What could happen if you damage something?" He might not want to know it, but he wanted to be prepared for what was to come.

"He could go blind or paralyzed or something else." The doctor informed in and Shizuo didn't like what he heard.

"Izaya would probably rather die than that that would happen to him." Shizuo mumbled.

"That's not for you to decide, but he might want to talk to someone about it, so that would probably be you. That's also why I'm telling you this." The doctor said and locked gazes with the blonde.

"I understand that he needs me, but honestly this is a lot to take in." Shizuo said and the doctor nodded in understanding.

"I understand, I will leave you alone now, you're free to wait for Orihara-san here." And with that the doctor left, leaving the blonde with his own thoughts.

The treatment was over, but Izaya kept laying down for a moment. He didn't feel like sitting up yet and he knew that he would be going to an MRI after this. He couldn't believe that he would actually need to do another MRI and that there is a possibility for another surgery.

The door opened and Izaya could hear footsteps approaching him. "Are you ready to go for the MRI?" He heard the doctor ask, to which Izaya slowly sat up.

"We need to find out what is wrong right? So let's just get this over with." He really didn't feel up to it, but he wanted to know what was wrong.

"The MRI is ready, so let's get you there alright?" Izaya didn't need to be asked that again and slowly slid of the bed, but suddenly his legs felt weak and they weren't able to carry him anymore.

"Wha-" Izaya said and stared at his legs while he was sitting on the floor. The doctor had heard him fall down and had hurried over.

"What happened?"

"My legs just gave out." Izaya said and tried to stand up, but his legs couldn't carry his weight. This was just like that time he had fallen down from the stairs for the first time.

"Can you get a wheelchair?" A nurse nodded and went out to get a wheelchair, but this only alerted Shizuo and soon he was standing in the door opening.

"What happened?" The blonde asked while he walked over.

"His legs gave out." Said the doctor since the raven was staring at his legs. Why wouldn't they listen to him? They wouldn't carry his weight, but movement was something that didn't happen either. "Are you able to move them?" He could hear the doctor ask, but Izaya was panicking. Why wouldn't his legs move? This couldn't be happening. Without the use of his legs he would be nothing.

"Izaya?" Izaya could hear the blonde's concerned voice and he looked up at the blonde with a desperate face.

"What should I do Shizu-chan? I can't move them." Izaya started sobbing and suddenly he found himself in the blonde's arms once more.

"It will be fine." Shizuo tried to sooth him, but Izaya felt like his world had just crashed down. He couldn't move his legs, which meant he wouldn't be able to walk or run, which were what he wanted to do again, but who knew? He might never be able to move his legs again.
