Chapter 4: Afternoon Agony

Shizuo's dark amber eyes opened to welcome the bright yellow light above him as he grunted at the painful glare that seemed to attack his caramel coloured eyes with a burning pain. 'Aaahh- My head, did I run into a truck again?' Shizuo gasped as the pain shot through him once more, Shizuo's eyelashes fluttered closed to keep the light at bay, but it did no good considering the pain was persistent. The blonde's hard head throbbed angrily at the searing light, making the pain more unbearable as it mixed with his migraine in an almost evil combination. Shizuo lazily hid his eyes beneath his tan large hands, in an attempt to hide from the light again, but like a vampire he hissed as his tan hand that provided sanctuary was pryed away from him by another hand.

This hand however was very large, more so than Shizuo's tan hands, and that's when Shizuo became more aware of his surroundings rather than how bright the torturous light was. The blonde man then heard a loud booming voice that made him grunt in pain as his head throbbed viciously at the volume the new gruff male voice produced, "Are you awake, my friend?" 'My head...is that a...Russian accent?' Shizuo's tanned ears rang loudly as he opened his eyes again to see shadows of the man before him. The blonde grunted in confirmation as he slowly sat up on whatever he had been laying on, and looked at the very large man that stood before him drowsily taking in the whole situation very slowly.

'What in the world?' , Shizuo's brown ecru eyes then widened in stunned realization, instantly sobering from his sleepy state of mind as the man's large stature finally registered to him. The man who had spoken was tall, even taller than Shizuo himself, making a rather large shadow cast on the blonde as the large man looked down at him. The man was very dark skinned like a deer's fur colour only slightly darker and his storm grey eyes spoke of many tales that seemed lost in his soul. The black man was indeed huge, in almost every way, making Shizuo a little comprehensive about speaking back to him, but he could help but stare at the newcomer.

The tall man had blue hair that almost looked periwinkle in the light that peeked out from his white roped wrapped blue hat, and his eyes were dark and navy coloured that switched from blue to grey, almost striking fear into the blonde was it not for the disarming sincere smile the honest man gave. The man was wearing a white tank top that showed his strong chiseled muscles just beneath he surface of the snowy fabric. The dark skinned man stood beside the bench that Shizuo had been laying on and the blonde looked down to see the man had put a white with blue trim Japanese type of jacket on him while he had slept.

The man looked pleasant and friendly with his smile, but Shizuo had learned to not trust appearances, because many were decieving and even more were fake. Shizuo shuffled backwards slightly as the man walked closer to the bench and held up a large plate of food with all sorts of breakfast items on it. The blonde stopped his retreat dumbfounded as he was suddenly handed the white plate with various foods with a wide smile to Shizuo as the blonde looked at the bluenette confusingly in return.

"Breakfast, most peaceful for day. I made it, it is good! You are student, so you need to eat." the man responded jovially to the look the beast gave him as the dubious blonde took the white filled plate muttering a "Thank you" quietly for the stranger's kindness in a different direction, but the man replied loudly, making Shizuo slightly jump and grit his teeth as the man's booming loud voice made his head throb with unbearable dogged pain, "You are most welcome, my friend. You must be tired, sleeping in garden."

Shizuo's dark amber pupils stared at the clean shiny white tiled floor that looked glossy from the new polish that must have been put on before the school year started, because Rairabukuro was no different in hygenic habits than any other school, which was weird considering the students that went to Rairakukuro were not particularly tidy. His caramel coloured eyes narrowed in concentration as he tried to remember what happened after he saw the flower in the garden, but nothing else appeared in his mind after that. As it seemed he could not remember a thing after the mesmorizing blue flower came into his vision.

Shizuo almost inhaled all of the mouth watering smells in the air as he smelled the wonderful taste of delicious food in front of him, and gaped at the food's quality as it was all almost perfectly done. On the white dazzling plate was 4 large pancakes, a bit of butter, 2 slices of toasts, 1 biscuit, a pile of all sorts of different forms of eggs, and 2 strips each of bacon and sausage. It all looked amazing to him and he looked over at the periwinkle haired man, who now sat next to him on the bench, and said, "Uh...Thanks... a lot." The blue haired man smiled widely again, proud of the fact that the young blonde boy had thanked him.

When Simon had first looked at the young student, he thought that the blonde would be a delinquient or a disrespectful brat because of his hair colour, but it seemed the young man was neither of the two, which was a relief for Simon. The bluenette couldn't help but notice as the boy seemed reserved around him, but maybe..."What would you like for drink? Orange Juice, Water, Mil-" "Milk...please." Shizuo said swiftly after as the large man shut the stainless steel fridge returning to Shizu and handed him a small glass bottle of milk. Shizuo took it and started to drink it in one go but paused slightly as he heard someone shout from the open doorway at the blue haired man, "Simon, we need your help with the food. The freshmen are flooding in like water and we need help."

Simon stood up and took his jacket from the flat bench and put it on quickly, after all, he needed to make food. "I hope you like my food. I must make more breakfast for new children now, I be back soon." Shizuo nodded with an understanding look crossing his features and with that, the tall man walked out the doorway with his ever permanent smile etched on his features and walked past the open door where loud metal and sizzling sounds could be heard from his seat.

Shizuo closed and opened his eyes slowly to avoid the painful headache as looked around the small room with light brown walls that almost looked a light butterscotch icing that had been frosted on, and the floors were like white cake only brighter. 'Funny, I can only think of food even though it's right in front of me.' Shizuo mused quietly to himself as his stomach growled from the seemingly cruel torture of food. Shizuo then proceeded to eat all the food on his plate with vigor, which soothed his stomach and his headache a bit. As soon as Shizuo had finished with the food and nilk Simon came back into the room a little sweaty from his work, but the smile remained on his face as he saw the empty plate.

The large man took the plate from the blonde and sat down next to Shizuo on the bench looking straight at the blonde who eyed him so warily, "Do you have class you going to? 11 o'clock so I must meet new freshmen for baking/cooking class," The blue haired man said gently as he continued, "I must leave, but you can go-" "Are you in charge of the baking/cooking class?" Shizuo asked bluntly as he leered over at the large black man with a quick look over. Simon smiled like he cheshire cat and reached over to Shizuo blonde hair ruffling it roughly as he said in a very jovial tone, "Yes, Yes! I am teacher of class! Do you like cooking/baking?"

Shizuo felt goosebumps prickle his tan rough skin as he watched bluenette's eyes narrow in on his face waiting for an answer, making Shizuo look away anxiously. 'This is embarassing! Why the heck do I have to say this so many times in a day! Grrr...' Shizuo pushed up his purple glasses in his nervousness, a habit he had always had. Simon drew closer and asked the question again. The blonde felt his face flush from the awkwardness of the situation, so the usually seething blonde raging beast, uncharacteristically shuffled away from the very candid smiling bluenette in shame as he nodded blushing brightly.

The man smiled brightly and shouted again in excitement, making Shizuo's head throb bitterly, "That great news, you come to baking/cooking class and have fun with other new students!" Simon grabbed for Shizuo's arm before he could protest and the teacher led him through the kitchen full of shiny appliances and workers that were making more breakfast for the rest of the students that came later, through the courtyards and gardens full of flowers, which Shizuo stared in awe at them, and finally into the tall building that was the ever intimidating brick building that was Rairabukuro Academy's main building.

A haunting sound echoed in the halls of Rairabukuro in the early morning. It was a chilling sound to most, but it sounded oddly joyous to some like a laugh. Izaya Orihara skipped zealously inside the white and blue hallways with a content look on his face as he smiled intimidatingly from ear to ear. All creatures who passed the raven looked away in fear, it was said that if you looked a god in the eye you would be punished by them, and turned into a slave against your will. It was only a silly rumor of course, but a god's eyes were indeed the manipulative sort. If the person was susceptible enough, it was true, but most of the creatures in Rairabukuro were not, almost all humans were though.

Izaya smiled even wider as he thought happily, "Ah~ I just love humans SO much! They are much more interesting than us creatures of the dark, and what's more is that they are predictable like all creatures on this earth...Well, all except one that is...isn't that right Shizu-chan~ ' Personally he raven would love to manipulate the blonde beast, probably because he was a fun new toy to him. Shizu-chan was now a more little special, and the protozoan isn't even scared of the powers of the gods, the absurdity and stupidity of the blonde astounded him. Izaya craved to control the beast even more now than when he had first met. Izaya's crimson eyes though were more powerful than a regular gods even potent, because he had been born very gifted in inheriting god's skills such as good looks, his powers, and manipulation.

Izaya Orihara had it all, the most handsome seductive looks, the most powerful group behind him aside the Beasts and the Manu, the extra power, the advanced intelligence, the ability to get almost anyone in to bed with him on a whim, but to Izaya Orihara, it wasn't nearly enough fun. He wanted something to be different, something new and unpredictable to challenge his control, and so the raven came to Rairabukuro Academy just so he could stir up the chaos in the world. Instead of stirring up the chaos like he had planned, chaos was already here in the form of a blonde monster.

Who rather than what he found was a little more interesting to play with for now. Izaya always had been the kid that played with just for fun, even if he got burned in the process. He found a person from the Beast group attending the Academy. It was not as if Izaya had never saw a creature from the beast group, but this one Beast was different from the usual, but it was easy to tell he was a beast from his height alone. Unlike most beasts that have a dark colored hair trait that passes down, this beast had blonde shining short hair that shimmered stunningly in the light of the morning sun.

Izaya had stood on a balcony above the building, simply observing the newcomers that walked in the building, but the Beast stayed outside for a moment longer looking at the flowers behind the archway of trees. The raven then noticed his build was also different than most of the beast group who had very muscular ugly bodies, this blonde man had a leaner more delicious looking body fit into the Rairabukuro Academy's uniform perfectly. Izaya's red flame colored eyes had zeroed in on the blonde beast almost immediately again, because the blonde had been actually smiling while watching the flowers. The wind had swayed lazily moving the blonde soft locks almost motionlessly in front of the Beast's face, but Izaya had seen that the smile the blonde had worn almost moments ago had changed into a sad forced smile.

Most Beasts were not sentimental in the slightest, and usually they only smiled at gore, fighting, drugs, and the like. After all, they were a very dark group that liked the darkness, but this blonde Beast had been looking at flowers, a flower field in fact, and it was at that moment that Izaya Orihara found the entertaining toy called Shizuo Heiwajima. A strange Beast who got riled up so easily at the sight of him near, but smiles like a shy girl when it came to flowers. It was just too much for the raven to take. With the memory bubbling in Izaya's mind he laughed at the irony and weakness of the blonde Beast man.

'No, not a man...,' His mythical god voiced in his mind which made Izaya's black thin eyebrow raise in surprise. 'How odd. You never usually speak to me Theism, is it a special occasion or are in a good mood?' Izaya asked calmly while striding continuously down the never ending hallway without missing a beat as crossed by a group of girls who looked away from him once again, not surprising really. 'I am speaking to you only to let you know about this boy, he is very different than any male Beasts you have come across, he will not be manipulated so easily Izaya by your antics and words.' Themis replied rationally as usual, making the red eyed raven smile slyly at his words, because the god of thought was only saying things that he already knew.

Izaya knew that the blonde was different than any other Beast he had ever had the displeasure of meeting. Shizu-chan was a very rare character in the Beast group indeed, but even the blonde's personality was different from that of a Beast descent. The fact that meeting this Beast made Themis even speak to him, let alone have a conversation with the raven about the Blonde loner, is a miracle in itself. Usually the god of thought, Themis stayed out of his thoughts, saying that they were "twisted beyond even his comprehension" or that they were "broken beyond repair", but now Themis voiced in his preaching words into thoughts that only Izaya could understand.

'You are only telling me things I know Themy-chan. I want to know what you meant earlier when you said that he wasn't a man...' Izaya inquired curiously. Izaya suddenly knew what were going to come next to his thoughts instantly, 'He is a Beast, right?' 'No, not just that...He is something else as well,..' Themis voiced back vaguely making Izaya face palm his face, and this is why he didn't like talking to his inner god, every single question was answered was as vague as the question itself. How is it that that the god of information is so unclear with his answers! He had had enough of this nonsense so he decided to speak to the god again one last time, to try and get a better answer to his straight forward question.

'Then what would he be? Shizu-chan is part of the beast group while I am part of the god group. You say he is not just a Beast, then what else would he be little Themy-chan~?' Themis growled, cursing at the belittling name,making Izaya smile at the small triumphs he had over his inner god. Themis knew though that it wasn't all that often that the raven ever required anything of him so he must be curious about this interestingly strange blonde Beast. The fact that Izaya Orihara was curious about this blonde boy was boggling, usually the raven did not need to inquire about people because most of the time the raven already knew everything about them with a single look, but it seemed that the blonde was different than the rest of the general population. Themis did not know whether this was a good thing or a very very bad thing, he still did not have enough information to decide.

'You see, I have heard the thoughts of other beasts in your head, they say that Shizuo Heiwajima is many things, none of them are good things. It is all words like Monster, Disgusting, wretched, feared, hopeless, lost, alone, evil, son of a reaper, born from the bewitching she-devil, liar, Violence itself, Chaos, and hated, but when we saw the blonde boy looking at the flowers he was not-...' Themis paused and faded as Izaya reached classroom, leaving Izaya alone once again with his thoughts. Like radio signals, inner gods had a frequency so they would fade when the signal was interrupted or cut out when he went through a tunnel. The classroom he was about to enter probably neutralized their powersconsidering powers were not needed for most classrooms in school the principal put barriers in the classrooms that did not require powers.

Since Themis was cut out, now Izaya was curious, and that was never a good thing. It meant that there were things the raven wasn't aware of and that simply would not do. Izaya was the god of information (self given title) and he wanted to know and predict the creatures he loved by any means necessary So Izaya backed up in the hallway until he was out of the protective barrier so he continue his talk with Themis. When he backed out of the barrier he could hear Themis's voice flooding back into his mind and he heard only gibberish which confused him.

'What? I couldn't hear you over the protective barrier in front of the classroom,' Izaya asked, and the world was silent as he heard Themis speak. 'I will tell you later Izaya. Go to your class now.' and with that Themis disappeared from his thoughts again quickly. The red eyed god snorted at the command and snickered as he neared the classroom. Izaya was a little late to class as would soon be the usual in the classrooms he would be attending most of the year. As Izaya stood in front of the door he heard male voices from the other side, which surprised him considering it was a baking and cooking class that he was attending.

He was enrolling in this class for the sake of being able to feed himself, but he hoped that he would have some good entertainment in the class as well. Izaya reached for the slide door and pulled it open with a small smug smile pulled on his face as heard a familiar rough voice coming from the classroom. Oh yes indeed this would be fun, it would be very fun indeed as saw a giant black man in the front of the classroom fighting with his special blonde beast, who was sitting on the front of the teacher's lap like a child who had misbehaved yelling at the teacher wildly.

The blonde's back was to Izaya as he strode into the room, getting infinitely closer to the taller men. Izaya shifted closer to the blonde without him noticing from all his loud shouting, and whispered something in his ear rather loudly, "Hello Shizu-chan~ Looks like we are in the same class~!" That is when Shizuo Heiwajima met Izaya Orihara a second time in the same day, and the only word that came instantly to Shizuo's mind was like a siren that ripped from his throat, slowly getting louder as his golden eyes turned a bright vibrant orange and changed from round to lizard like pupils as he met with wide crimson eyes that spoke of vice in the highest regard.

I roar ripped out of the blonde male so loud that half of the class held their ears as the voice seemed to instinctively make them fearful of what was to come. Izaya Orihara only smiled with his snake like sneer that was almost haughty as it seemed to look down upon the inhabitants of the class. The roar of the Beast echoed throughout the school, and the Rairabukuro students even in the courtyard heard it loud as a army siren and as clear as a church organ at a funeral that held nothing but anger in it, "IZAYAAAAAA!"
