Chapter 3: Breakdown Before Breakfast

"Mommy, why does Kasuka get a bottle of milk? I want one too! It's not fair!" A small young boy with dark mud brown hair shouted tugging at his mother's blue jeans. They were both in the white sparkling clean kitchen. Mom was washing the dishes at the sink which wasn't unusual in the Heiwajima house. It was all a daily cycle in the Heiwajima house. The young boy with the mud brown hair was Shizuo Hewajima, he was the older brother of the house. Kasuka, the boy with coffee brown hair sitting at the kitchen table, was the younger brother of the house.

Their father, Kichirou Hewajima, was at work and he would get home 7 o'clock at night, as usual. Their mother's name was Namiko Hewajima and she would stay home and play with the children as usual. The boys stayed home all day, because they didn't go to public school, even though they were both old enough to go. The boys would stay home and learn with their mother, while their father worked and played them when he got home from work at 7. It was a routine that they had gone through their whole lives, but Shizuo's birthday was tomorrow and all of the Heiwajima family was driving to the world martial arts championship to celebrate, because Shizuo loved watching martial artists fight.

Kasuka and Shizuo were also very happy about tomorrow, because they would get to spend time with their father and mother at the Martial Arts Competition for the whole day. Shizuo would be turning 11 and Kasuka would still be 8 until Febuary. It was supposed to be a wonderful day in Shizuo's young life, but this was a day he couldn't remember. He couldn't remember his 11th birthday on January 28th. The only thing he knew about what happened on January, 28th was that his parents disappeared from their lives forever. He had woken up January 29th with Kasuka beside on the floor in front of the TV with neither of his parents to be found in the house, and he had never had the nerve to ask Kasuka what happened that day. He didn't want to know, but for some reason in his mind he knew, he knew they were gone for good. He had not panicked at all when he realized this, but only sat up next to Kasuka, who was now awake next to him, and Shizuo had turned to ask, "Do you want some breakfast?"

Shizuo stood outside the meeting building with a dumbfounded look on his face that said it all, 'What the Fuck?' "What on earth just happened?" Shizuo asked to no one in particular, but he got an answer that he didn't expect. "Well, you just met Izaya Orihara, and officially got an enemy against you. A god no less," Shizuo turned his head in a bit of shock to see a short brown haired teenager beside him, "How did you get there without me noticing?" "That's a secret~! But you really are no fun to sneak up on, you're too serious," The brunette man looked at Shizuo with a smile and it was then that Shizuo figured out that this man had glasses as they glinted sharply in the sun at him. The brown haired male smiled and moved back with a mischievious glint.

"Want me to do it again?" and without an answer from Shizuo the young man disappeared out of Shizuo's sight. The blonde's eyes widened as he looked around in frustration, 'He probably disappeared back to his dorm.' "Hey, over here!" Shizuo slowly turned and saw the young man above waving at him where Izaya Orihara had stood on the balcony before floating down to the ground. Then, without warning, the short brunette disappeared again. "I just realized I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Shinra, Shinra Kishitani! It is a pleasure to meet a real person from the Beast group." Shizuo slowly turned around to Shinra, who whispered all of this in his ear. Shizuo face showed nothing really as he turned to face Shinra, who smiling grandly.

"My name is Shizuo Heiwajima, and it is the first time I've met a wizard in person, so far not impressed," The blonde watched as the brunette laughed at his joke. Shizuo smiled a bit, and suddenly Shinra stopped laughing and looked behind Shizuo with his eyes wide. Shizuo turned to see a headless woman/man (he couldn't be sure with the distance) walking towards them from the building. Shizuo looked back at Shinra as soon as he had he wished he hadn't. The brunette man's face was a full blush as the now more apparent girl came closer to them with a phone in her hand. She pulled it to her nonexistent face and started tapping on the keyboard. She was now only 10 feet away from us as she lifted to screen up to Shinra and him to read, "Shinra, you are missing the meeting! It's almost over now! Did you sleep in again? We are getting you an alarm clock!"

"But Celty~ It's not my fault I smelled your beautiful scent on my pillow slip and I felt so warm and cozy, I couldn't wake up yet! Not when it felt like you were there right beside m-me,"the flirty Shinra stuttered only because the Valkarye named Celty gave him a blow to the stomach with her gloved fist so hard even Shizuo felt bad for Shinra. Celty typed furiously on her phone and held it upto Shinra only, but the brunette replied, "Celty! You can't do that to me, I have my rights! I'll die! I'll wither like a plant that has weed killer!" The brunette began to throw a hissy fit about something while holding onto the woman's lower waist on the ground, 'I wonder what she said to him?' Shizuo thought absentmindedly.

The woman typed once again on her electrical device and held in to Shizuo's face that read, "I am sorry that you had to see him act like this, I told him I wouldn't let him borrow my stuff anymore." Shizuo slightly laughed at that as he read on, "Hello, my name is Celty Sturluson. What's yours?" "My name is Shizuo Heiwajima, It's nice to meet you Celty. So is the meeting almost done?" Shizuo asked. Quickly she typed on her phone a long message as Shinra made another plea to Celty, "Celty, It's not fair~! I would let you borrow anything of mine!" She patted Shinra's head like a dog, which pleased him for a while as she prepared to answer Shizuo's question.

"Yes, but if you didn't go to the meeting, you go here at 1 o'clock for another meeting during lunch hours. For now they gave us the schedule paper and told us we only are obligated to take 2 classes and we have to join at least one club. That's it. One of the obligated classes though is Physical Education, but there is no real education, it's more like the fight training. The other obligated class you choose out of this schedule along with the club. I am going to take "defense against N.W.'s" class, and I am going to join the Mechanics club."

Shizuo nodded and smiled about the "defense against N.W.'s" knowing it was probably because of Shinra. She handed the schedule out to him, and he he took it gratefully as he muttered a thank you as he read the classes of in his head, ' So basically all groups have defense classes and attack classes. Then there are technology classes, agricultural, biology, human trending, habit breaking, anger class, marine life...' and list went on to weirder classes which Shizuo didn't care for until he saw "Baking and Cooking". He stopped as he thought about joining the "Baking and Cooking" class.

Shizuo didn't like violence, and he didn't like hard studying. The class was with a teacher called, Simon Brezhnev, who was said to be a very strong man with a hard Russian accent. So, Breakfast was at 8:30 in the mess hall, The B.C. (baking and cooking) class was at 11 o'clock today in room 243, Lunch was at 12:30 in the mess hall, P.E. was at 3 o'clock in the gym, and the time right now is 8:15 p.m. Shizuo hoped he could remember the times and places, seeing as how he didn't have a schedule.

Shizuo handed it back to her and asked politely, "So do we go to the class that we like today?" Her phone whipped in his face so fast that he thought she hadn't even touched the screen at all, "Yes." was her reply. It was then that Shizuo decided he liked Celty, because she was polite with him. She was straight forward, kind, and she wasn't annoying unlike her dog like wizard pal, Shinra. It seemed he had another friend now that he could talk to. It felt comfortable to talk to her actually, because she was one of the only Valkaryes that still roamed the earth, she was a lot like him.

"What else can I do to wait for the class I want?", Shizuo asked and Shinra finally stood up from the ground with a sad pout on his face, knowing the Valkarye was very stubborn when it came to her punishments. The school in itself was boring to Shizuo, but he couldn't change that at all. "What class did you sign up for?", she asked and Shizuo blushed profusely, knowing they would make fun of him if they knew.

Shinra looked at the red flooding Shizuo's face and asked, "What did you write? He's blushing like a tomatoe! You must of told him all the fine times we've had t-together~" He hesitated in his words as Celty punched him right in the nose and typed quickly on her phone, "BAKA! I would not write about that! I only asked him what class he was going to take!" The brunette looked at Shizuo, who's face still had a bit of red in it, and asked point blank, "What class are you taking?" Shizuo looked away while nervously pushed up his purple tinted glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "...You'll laugh..."

Shinra immediately said, "We won't laugh, I promise!" Shizuo looked at him with suspicious eyes, but eventually he said it while looking away, "...*mumble* and *mumble* class" "What was that I couldn't hear you? Speak a bit louder." Shinra said obviously taunting the blonde. Shizuo turned angerily and shouted in his ear, "BAKING AND COOKING CLASS! ALRIGHT!? You got a problem with that?" Shinra stared in shock at Shizuo and stated, "No, I was just curious being a wizard and all, but if you ever get hurt in a fight or something Shizuo come to me and Celty's dorm room. I am a doctor so I will fix you up!"

Shizuo looked at him through his purple shaded glasses as he poofed away again. Celty typed on her phone once more and showed him the message, "I think Cooking and Baking will be a fun class. I heard the teacher Simon likes peace and lets you pretty much make whatever you want. It will be fun for you! I wish you luck Shizuo!" As soon as the blonde read the message, the girl quickly waved goodbye to Shizuo. Then Shizuo saw the coolest thing he had ever seen. A pool of shadows came up like paper in the wind from her feet and shaped an egg shape around her of pure black. The egg shape popped into sparkling black specks as she too disappeared, leaving Shizuo in speechless awe.

Shizuo really loved Rairabukuro Academy. The blonde looked over at the school building where the meeting was being held, and sighed. He might as well go get breakfast before everyone else in the freshman class did, but the second year students would already be there most likely. He walked out onto the soft grass behind the Cherry blossom and Jacarda tree arch as he made his way past the green house, looking at the plants with a real smile. Plants always brought out the best in him, because they reminded him of his mother. She had loved flowers almost as much as Shizuo did.

It took a moment for Shizuo to realized he had stopped to stare at the beautiful blue flowers in front of him. 'Disgusting' Shizuo heard a familiar voice say in his mind. It made Shizuo cringe at how harsh the voice was. He knew the voice very well, because it was his father's voice. It was one of the last things he had said to Shizuo before Kasuka had accidentally killed them. It hurt Shizuo to stand here, staring at a flower of all things.

The blue flower seemed to be circled in a fuzzy black as his vision narrowed. That was when he lost conciousness as his eyes hazed over. He fell to his knees as he watched the flower that had capture his eyes and made him remember something he didn't want to remember, his parents. The blue flower he saw made him remember them. 'The blue flower that I love...it...was...a bit different...from that one...it was more...beautiful than any...other...flower...it was called...it was...called...'. Shizuo saw black as he hit the grass ground hard, desperately trying to remember its name.

"SHIZUO! What have I told you about baking." A voice yelled at him, making him feel guilty. Young Shizuo had been baking cookies and cakes with mommy, because he had wanted to make the cakes pretty. He especially loved to put little flowers on it and making it look colorful. He loved flowers a lot! Especially loved a flower called a Blue Lotus! He found it in a picture book and it was so pretty! It was a wide flower that was a sad blue, but when it opened it was a yellow purple colour. Mommy always said that the Blue Lotus grew in Egypt and in East Africa, it is said to rise and fall like the sun.

Shizuo now looked at the ground and replied, 'That I am not allowed to bake, because I mess it up with my strength I know, but Dad, ' Shizuo looked up at his father with pleading eyes and said, 'I won't break anything I promise, so far I haven't broken a thing, and I have been baking all day with Mom!' Shizou's father looked at him angerily, but relented seeing the boy's point. "Fine, but if you break something, it comes out of your allowance!" Shizuo smiled at his mother and she smiled back as he walked back over to the bowls of cake mix with his mother.

They were making a special cake for his older cousin Airi, her birthday was tomorrow so they were making the cake as a present. Mommy's cakes were the best type of cake, delicious! She made them perfectly almost every time. "Mommy, are you going to make me a perfect cake on my birthday?" Shizuo asked as he gently mixed the cake mixture to smooth out the bumps. "Yes I will, an 11 year old boy must have a good cake! I will make you the best type of cake." Shizuo looked up at his mother with a confused look, "A delicious cake?" She looked over at him with a grand smile and said, "A delicious birthday cake!" He smiled with glee as he still gently mixed the mixture and said, "Mommy, I think I am done with the mixing."

"Oh, let me see it." She said still washing the dishes, so Shizuo rushed over to her with the bowl of the white cake mixture. She leaned as far as she could without her hands leaving the sink as Shizuo lifted the shiny silver like bowl to her face with a smile. "That is perfect! Now set it down on the counter till I get done, okay?" She asked, still smiling brightly as he nodded, placing the metal bowl on the table. Soon, his mother finished cleaning the dishes and walked over with the cake pan they were going to use.

"Now let's pour it into the pan evenly okay? You can use this spoon to scrape it out of the bowl." She talked him through how to level it out and even how to make sure it was cooked. Soon, the cake was done and cooled. It was a round moist looking cake that made little Shizuo's mouth water as the smell made its way into the air. Now it was time to decorate it! "Now Shizuo here's what we are going to do. We are going to ice the whole cake white then we are going to draw either flowers or balloons and write 'Happy Birthday Airi' then we will put in the fridge till tomorrow and then we will take it to her party."

It was just that we heard Kasuka crying outside with our father. "Oh, I will be right back okay?" with that she rushed out of the room in a hurry. Shizuo looked at the cake with a smile. He wanted to ice it now. Besides he had seen his mom do it a thousand times on other cakes, this one couldn't be much different. Shizuo went to the drawer and pulled out a knife and a cake leveler. Then he went back to the table with his cake making kit and smiled wide, this was going to be fun.

"Shizuo," his mother called, "I'm back. Don't worry, Kasuka got stuck in a tree, but daddy get him down." She waited for an answer as she walked towards the kitchen, but heard none. "Shizu-" She stopped dead in her tracks, breathless at the sight in her kitchen. The cake that Shizuo and her were supposed to make together was already iced. The cake was a white with green trimming as leaves around the base of the cake. Around the sides of the cake was gorgeous lily pads each attached to one another with a vine of green.

Around the top of the cake was a grass like green with an ocattional brown to symbolize reeds. On the inside of the top of the cake was a dark blue green pond showing a reflection of the full moon that had written in beautiful lettering, 'Happy Birthday, Aria' and below the reflection was a giant Blue Lotus that spread halfway across the birthday cake, but it was gorgeous. It was something she could never do, and what was more amazing was that Shizuo was doing the last lily pad on the side with great detail. His eyes hadn't looked up once from his work, "Shizuo." Then Shizuo looked up at her and stopped.

He stood up and looked at his work smiling, but soon he turned to her and said, "I am sorry I did it without you." She looked at the cake then at him, but before she could say a word about how amazing it was another voice spoke before she could utter a word, "Disgusting." Shizuo's eyes widened as he saw his father behind his mother with Kasuka in tow. Shizuo's heart frenzied in fear as he heard his father go on, "What on earth did you do? Your mother is supposed to decorate the cake, not you! You just wasted 10 bucks worth of icing to create one cake!"

Shizuo couldn't speak because his mouth went dry. He lost his voice to speak as he heard his father's words take over his mind. Tears started to stream down his face, but then he heard his father yell, "Stop crying." Instantly, Shizuo's tears ceased to fall as he froze from the harsh tone of the usually loving voice. "If you cry again, I will personally throw out all the things you love." Shizuo's mind held these words tightly because after that day, Shizuo never really remembered ever crying, even when he was in pain or he had broken his limbs, he has never once shed a tear.

Shizuo muttered a word out in the open as he was carried unknowingly into the indoors, "Sorry." A tear streamed down Shizuo's tan face as his body was held in a reassuring grip as the man who carried him put his body down on a flat surface. "Simon, you coming to help serve up breakfast?" someone asked. "Yes, I help with breakfast soon," Simon responded as he looked at the strange blonde student he had layed on the break bench. He had passed out right in front of the green house where Simon had been getting herbs. He saw the boy smile at the blue flowers in the front of the greenhouse before he fell to the ground.

He had looked fine and happy, but the teacher had heard the word 'sorry' from the teenager's mouth, and the blue haired man had seen the single tear drop from his face. He wondered what was wrong with the blonde teenager. It was troubling him, but he had to make breakfast. 'Yes breakfast, maybe the blonde boy would like some breakfast. That would make him much more happy when he woke up', and with this thought Simon turned to the serving tables to make trays for the new freshmen that had just gotten out of the morning meeting. They would be very hungry indeed.

Yay Simon appears! I made him a teacher! No, for all of you who thinks he will just do sushi in his class, he won't. He loves sushi though and all the things he makes are sushilicious! XD but I want to make Simon cool. I am sorry for any spelling errors. I also have to say that if you look up blue lotus on google they are so beautiful like Shizuo's otomen (a men who likes feminine things or a feminine way of thinking) heart, plus they are just dazzling. Yes, I absolutely adore Shizuo shipped with anybody really! What's your favorite shipping of Shizuo? Let me know in your reviews! :) Thank you for reading~
