Sorry for such a nasty cliffie ;_; But here's the next chapter =3
Enjoy…I hope ;;
Standing outside his brother's apartment, Kasuka frowned…something was up; Shizuo knew he was coming for a visit today, so why wasn't he answering the door…?
Shrugging, he placed his hand on the knob and turned it, only feeling mildly surprised when it actually opened, but then again, Shizuo didn't seem like the type to bother with locks anyway…after all, who the hell would be dumb enough to break into his place?
Sighing he walked into the apartment and closed the door loudly behind him, always best to make yourself known with Shizuo…if he snuck in, he stood a high chance of a punch to the face.
Looking around his frown returned, no sign of his brother anywhere, and the only place left to check was his bedroom, walking towards the door Kasuka stopped, he could smell blood…and judging by how strong the smell was…there was a lot of it…
Without second thought Kasuka opened the door and rushed in, feeling what little colour he had in his face drain away at the sight; "Nii-san…"
Shaking his head, Kasuka bit his lip, towel he needed to find a towel to wrap around his arm to stop the bleeding…then…then a…first aid kid…yes, look for one of those…then call for help…
Wrapping the towel around his brothers heavily bleeding wrist Kasuka frowned, he knew he wasn't going to be able to handle this alone, but he couldn't for the life of him remember Shizuo's doctor friends name…heck the only name he could think about was Izaya…
Izaya…he probably had something to do with this…that bastard…
Pressing down on the towel, Kasuka's eyes widened as he heard a groan from his brother, looking up however, his face full of hope quickly fell, Shizuo was still unconscious and from the looks of things, didn't plan on waking up any time soon…
Whipping out his phone he quickly dialled a number, placing the phone to his ear using his shoulder to hold it, so his hands could keep the pressure on the cut; "Hello, Dr. Tanma…hi yeah, it's Yuuhei…huh, no it's not me it's my brother…he's got a pretty deep cut on his forearm that I think, will require stitches, and don't worry about the bill, I'll pay it…yes thank you…you should have the address next to mine…yeah emergency address…okay, thanks…see you soon…"
Taking his phone off his shoulder Kasuka sighed as he flipped it shut.
"Nii-san…You promised me and dad…on that day…that no matter how hard it gets…this wouldn't be the path you'd take…you promised…"
With that Kasuka let his tears flow, Shizuo was the only person who could bring out his emotions and the main reason he had to hide them in the first place…he hated him, but at the same time, loved him so much it hurt…
Looking around him he grimaced, a blood covered shard of glass and…his phone, reaching over, he picked up the orange and yellow device and flipped it open, eyes widening then falling into a glare as his lip rose in a snarl; [Shizu-chan…please come back soon, I really miss you….]
"Izaya…you bastard...I will never forgive you for this."
Typing up a reply he quickly sent it, then grabbing his brother by his good arm he placed him on his bed, before sitting next to him, by nature Kasuka was far from a spiteful person, but seeing his brother, then seeing that text…
Fuck he understood why Shizuo hated that guy so much now…
"Please hurry Tanma…"
"Izaya, don't you want to say something to Boku-chan?"
Glancing back at the woman Shinra hired to "help" him, Izaya sighed before averting his eyes to the wall again.
"It's a sock with eyes glued on…so no."
"Ah, but Boku-chan is a special sock, he's very good at keeping secrets, and he only tells people if they are a real danger to your health, but fear not, Boku-chan only tells people who can help."
Growling Izaya tried blocking out the woman's annoying voice, he was betting that 90% of her clients, that committed suicide, did so because of her….and he was beginning to see logic in their madness… her Japanese was awful for one thing, her voice high pitched and nasty, and seriously, was she a therapist or a street corner whore? He really could not tell.
When he was in a better position, he was going to make her life hell…that was a promise…
"Look…Linda, I appreciate you trying to help…but I just want to be left alone…"
The look on her face at his perfect English was rather amusing, but he wasn't in the mood for mocking her, instead he closed his eyes and tried to will sleep upon him…which considering he'd just woken up from a small unneeded in the first place cat nap, was proving near impossible…
"You know…you could have told me you spoke English before I embarrassed myself…but anyway, let's continue shall we; Shinra told me before I came in you'd been asleep, so you're not fooling anyone."
Groaning Izaya tried covering his head with one of the many pillows on the bed, but all she did was pull it away…damn woman.
"Boku-chan is waiting for your reply, Izaya. Boku-chan likes it when people talk to him."
"Well how about I cut Boku-chan's tongue out Linda~ Forget it…I'm not talking to a sock."
Sighing he pulled his phone out from under the covers and stared at it, he'd had nothing from Shizuo…he was beginning to get worried…
Pulling up a blank message he began tapping the letters on his phone; [Shizu-chan…please come back soon, I really miss you.]
Pressing send he sighed, he stood little chance of receiving an answer, but…he had to try…even if it was just to say he did…
He was just about to put his phone back under the pillow when it suddenly buzzed, smiling he opened the message from Shizuo…only for said smile to fall seconds after he finished reading the reply…
"Shinra…Shinra…SHINRA!"
Hearing the shouts, Shinra burst through the door and quickly walked over; "Izaya, what's the matter?" "Phone Shizuo; please just phone him…this has to be a lie…"
With that he thrust his phone into the doctor's hands; [I hope you're happy with yourself you bastard, my brother killed himself because of you!]
Eyes widening, Shinra nearly dropped the phone, this couldn't be right…he'd only spoken with Shizuo not even an hour ago…
"Linda, stay with him…I'm going to phone Shizuo's mobile, if it was Kasuka who sent this, he probably still has his phone…"
And with that said he was gone…
Pacing the living room with his phone glued to his ear, Shinra bit his lip as it continued to ring; that text had to be a lie…Shizuo couldn't die that easily…he just couldn't…
"Hello?"
"Kasuka? Kasuka, its Shinra…Shizuo's friend…"
The line was silent for a while before Kasuka made what Shinra suspected an approving hum…
"That text you just sent Izaya…please tell me you're joking…"
"I wasn't joking Shinra…Shizuo did try and kill himself, but I found him in time…he lost a lot of blood though…"
Frowning, Shinra couldn't decide whether he should thank all gods, or feel furious at the blonde's younger brother…
"Why did you do it Kasuka…? The text…you really upset Izaya…"
"Because that bastard has done nothing, but annoy and harass my brother for the last 8 years, and I'm sick of it. When Shizuo recovers I'm planning on leaving Ikebukuro with him, I want him to have a go at starting again without Izaya there to fuck things up."
"Kasuka…listen to me, there's something you need to know…"
For the next half hour, Shinra explained to Kasuka the happenings of the last couple of weeks, how Shizuo found Izaya, how he stayed with him, how they became friends, and how they are now what one could consider borderline lovers…and what Shizuo found out only days prior…
It was then the younger Heiwajima calmed down and returned to, as Shinra would call it, his normal mode…
"I see…well I'll keep you updated, the doctor I called is still with him, but he's pretty confident it's nothing too serious…"
"It would be much obliged Kasuka…"
"Kay, bye Shinra."
With that he hung up, Shinra following suit mere seconds after…
"Things are just going from bad to worse around here lately…"
[Shinra…?]
Turning, the bespectacled man smiled; "Ah Celty…I'm guessing you heard?"
Nodding the headless woman began typing on her PDA again; [Is it true…?]
Shaking his head with a sigh, Shinra smiled lightly; "no…it was a misunderstanding is all…but he did try to…well I guess it fits, after 8 years of hatred, love is going to be a hard thing for them both to conquer…but at least…this is a start…"
[Yeah…]
Wow…I know I say this every chapter and friends keep telling me to stop, but that was a heap of shit ;_; I only spent like half an hour writing it…I have so much catch up work to do, it's all the time I can afford to spend on this T^T
I may have to take a small break from this fic, just till I'm a bit more settled with my college work…I've only been in like 3 full weeks since September due to illness, so I have a LOT to catch up on :C
If I have made any spelling/grammar errors or a sentence makes no sense, please let me know ;; Usually when I read a chapter over, as much as I think it sucks, it flows "nicely" in my head, and well this chapter doesn't I feel I really messed up on description...sorry T^T
