Betsuni means "it was nothing" or "not really"

Kutabare means "Go to hell"

Urusai means "Shut up"

Uza means annoying, since za is in izaya's name, putting it together would be like an insult. (Like Kawai-souma, Kawaii-sou means pityable, Souma is a name.)

Woot! Chpt 5! don't forget to read chpt 4!


Chapter 5 - Cat in a bath tub

Ahchoo!

Four o'clock, the day before thanksgiving. Shizuo hasn't returned from work yet. Celty had stepped out and Shinra was watching some anime on the T.V.

"Are? Are you sick, Yuu-chan?"

"No I'm okay." You hated that nickname.

You were busy in the kitchen, putting in some practice for tomorrow.

Okay, I'll make a practice dish.. just for practice! I'll start cooking dinner for tomorrow in the morning.

Shinra stared at you for a long time. You were rather scared by the mischievous grin that spread on his face. Ignoring this, you placed the dish on the table and asked him to taste it. He did.

"Cough hack-hack cough! Wh-WHAT IS THIS?!"

"N..Nikuja-"

"Well I know WHAT it is...Just.. WHAT is it?!"

"It's...wait, huh?"

"This part is uncooked, this part is OVER cooked and that part is way too salty and this part is tasteless!"

"I'm sorry...I..

only really know how to make tonkatsu"

Shinra looked at your teary eyes and couldn't help but think you were seriously adorable and swung his arms around you.

"Ohhh~~! Its okay! It's okay!"

He snuggled his face into your fluffy hair until Shizuo nearly- no, literally broke down his door and swung it at him, trying not to hit you, hair dripping from the down pour outside.

"WAAAH-Sh-Shizuo! Please try to calm down! I-"

"YOU MOLESTER PERVERTED SCIENTIST DOCTOR! I WILL MURDER YOU!"

"NO- I!"

"SHUT UP, IDIOT!"

"A-ah, Shizuo-san, its okay he was just.. trying to reassure me.."

You tried to wipe your eyes before Shizuo would notice.

He walked over to you with pitying eyes and softly put his hand on your face.

"Are you okay? Did he do something? Whats wrong?"

"N-no I'm okay.."

Your face turned red and your eyes went blurry until your knees collapsed, your face kinda spacy.

"Yui!"

Shinra rushed over and Shizuo knelt down on one knee and felt your forehead, burning hot.

"I'm...okay! ^/./^" You wobbly try to stand but stagger back, Shizuo grabbing your hand and yanking you into his arms.

"Ah-sorry" I didn't intend to yank her so hard..She's really ligh-

Shizuo looked down at you in his arms and his face turned red at your soft embrace.

"Nnn... Warm~"

You snuggle your nose into his chest.

"Ah-I-i-Y-SHINRA get some medicine for me!"

Shizuo lifted you and placed you on the couch.

"Shizuo.."

"W-what? What is it?"

"Some hot milk? If you please...?"

"Sure. I-in a bit. Shinra!"

"Ah-We're all out!"

Shinra scrambled about all the med cabinets.

"A doctor out of- UGH I'm gunna run back to the store before they close!"

Shizuo pulls on his vest and bolts into the rain, not having to worry about the door..that was laying on the floor with torn hinges.

His arm raised above his eyes so he could block the rain from getting into them, Shizuo sprinted through the thick down-poor, into the store and back to the house. By the time he got back, he was dying and fell to the floor out of breath after handing the medication to Shinra to treat you.

"Wow, that was quick, Shizuo. I didn't even have time to go look for some ice"

"I...had to run to..the one on the other side.. of the city-the other one was closed...haaah...There are Ice packs in there, too...guhh.. huhh.."

"How thoughtful, Shizu-chan-She should be fine by tomorrow. Good thing you were so quick getting her treatment"

"...B-betsuni.." Shizuo accepted the praise with a slightly proud and red face.

Nnnn...

You opened your eyes and sat up.

Zzz...

In your surprise, you saw Shizuo sitting on the floor with his head leaned on the side of the couch where the arm rest was.

Didn't he go home?

You smile and crouch next to him.

"...Arigatou...Shizuo"

You place your lips on his forehead, being silent so he wouldn't notice and stood and scampered over to the kitchen, not noticing Shizuo's face turn red and him slightly smile and go back to sleep.

"Okay! Now to try to get that recipe right!"

You said in a wisper-yell to yourself.

After the horiffying meal (excluding the delicious pudding and tonkatsu...), Shizuo calls you out into the hall and asked Celty and Shinra to give them some privacy. Celty nods, she had a job to do after dinner, anyway. As she took off, Shinra said he'd be going out to get more medicine.

"You have a phone...Right?"

Shizuo tried to avoid your eyes as he sheepishly asked you.

"I do. Do you?"

"Y-yeah. So... Here"

He takes out his phone and shows his number to you.

"I just thought... if anything like.. that would happen again.. It'd be easier to find you if you... called me sometime...Uh! That is- if I...you...If.."

You paused and stared at him with a blank face.

"A-ah I know it's stupid..I..Augh forget i-"

Beep Beep Beep - Beep Beep Beep- Beep Beep Beep Beep

"Thank you, Shizuo-kun. For protecting me last time, too."

You smiled at him and he added your number to his phone, his face red.

"...It was.. nothing..

I'm gunna go home. I-I have work tomorrow...bye" Aw man..That was so lame...she must think I'm so stupi-

"Shizuo-kun"

"Hu-

?!"

You stood on your tip toes and reached to kiss him on the cheek and waved him goodbye, red and smiling.

Shizuo walked home, slightly in a daze as..

"Why, hello, Shizu-chan~!"

Shit...

Shizuo turned to the creepy fur-cuffed man who was licking his knife..again, creepy.

"Tch. Buzz off, flea. I have no quarrel with you today"

"Oh? I thought you had one with me everyday!"

"Shut up." Shizuo closed his eyes and tried to calm down as his eyebrow quivered and twitched.

Twitch

"Oh? It's her, isn't it? She's changing you, Shizu-chan~"

Twitch Twitch

He looked at a picture of you he had and turned his view to the corner of his eye, looking at Shizuo with a rather angered look.

"I don't like that."

SNAP

"URUSAI! KUTABARE!"

creeeeeek...SNAP

Shizuo reached for the metal sign behind him and swung it at Izaya with a huge gust of wind trailing behind.

"YOU'RE DEAD! UZAYA! YOU'RE DEAD! YOU'RE DEAD! YOU'RE SO FUCKING DEAD!"

No one was home and you were bored. Looking around for something to do, you decide to go take a bath.

You think to yourself as you disrobe I'm a cat...so I shouldn't like water...

You shrug and turn on the faucet, holding the towel to your chest and looking out the window that was around a foot above your head.

"Ah, good. The steam won't be a problem. And theirs a shower head over there."

You say as a soliloquy to yourself (That phrase was kinda redundant but whatevs xD) as you step into the nearly scorching but soothing water.

"Ahhhh..."

You look at the warm cup of milk you had prepared before you had stepped into the room and listened to the soft orchestra-style music softly play on the stereo that was just on the other side of the bathroom, out of wet harm's way.

You didn't notice that Celty arrived, shortly after was followed by Shinra. Shinra looked at the neatly folded clothes out side of the bathroom and thought

Oh that's Yuu-chan's. Celty wouldn't wear anything so bright(color wise) and girly, at that.

An odd smile spreads across Shinra's face as he replaced your clothes with..something else.

I'm just gunna go wash Yuu-chan's dirty clothes~

...

...

...

Shizuo walked through the lack-of door, covered in cuts, blood and bruises to the sight of Shinra on top of you, trying to force the cosplay onto you.

"Nooooo~! I don't wanna be a Neko-maid!"

"C'mon! Just try it on!"
