The pair of eyes stared at Shizuo, and the blonde returned the frightening look. It was as if the person was taking a trip through Shizuo's soul and knew of all his thoughts.

Shizuo started for the door not taking his eyes off the red laser beams. He reached for the doorknob but the door was gently pushed.

In slithered a scaly, crimson-eyed being, which Shizuo couldn't identify. It slowly slid into the room, hissing at its surroundings, the blonde backed away completely bewildered. Suddenly falling on his bed again, the snake spoke up.

"Are you just going to stare at me?"

A sinister voice erupted through the room; the large serpent slithered closer and closer to Shizuo. Its red eyes still drilled through Shizuo's brain.

"Don't make the deal!" His voice was raspy and full of anger; his eyes a wild look in them.

"Don't make the deal," it spat again when inches away from Shizuo's face.

"Don't make the deal, don't make the deal!" It continued to chant, Shizuo glared at the snake trying to back away from it.

It was no use, the snake's warm breathe hit Shizuo's face, but its words hit him harder. Why shouldn't he make the deal? It was his only chance to leave this horrid place. Who was this guy anyways, and what the hell was he?

As the snake neared Shizuo, the blonde instinctively slapped the serpent causing it to fly across the room. After a few gags and coughs, it glared at Shizuo with a wild eye.

"Who the hell are you?" Shizuo confidently stood over the scaly figure, waiting for an answer. The snake didn't reply though, and it earned him a kick in the gut.

He coughed again and straightened himself out, leveling himself with Shizuo. Its red eyes contradicted his blue scaly body; he looked like a fish or a snake but with red beady eyes.

"Don't make the deal," he warned again making a distance between himself and Shizuo.

"Why?"

"Don't make the deal!"

Shizuo grew angry; he bawled his fists at the snake ready to beat it out of its scales. He didn't get a chance to though; the snake was starting to fade away, being sucked into a dark hole that became smaller through Shizuo's eyes. Still, his voice echoed through the room, repeating that chant.

"Don't make the deal."

Mocha eyes flew open, a bold flame of anger highlighting them. Shizuo sucked in his surroundings, and slowly the anger began to reduce.

Was that all a dream? The stranger thing was his location.

He was standing on top of a large building, and he got a beautiful view of a busy city. Lights illuminated the cities shops and clubs, snippets of people's conversations filled his ears, and a cold breeze blew back his hair.

He actually missed seeing humans walking amongst each other in joy, instead of them burning of fire. He frowned though; something was strange about all of this.

"Finally awake, Eh," a familiar voice said from behind him. He turned around, and a few feet away from him was grinning Cassius. A feeling of relief filled Shizuo, the serpent and his warning was just a dream.

"Now just to confirm, you want to be alive again right?"

Shizuo glanced at the humans; laughing, crying, hugging, eating. He missed it so much, but maybe his that snake was his conscience telling him not to do it.

Cassius waited for the confirmation he'd been wanting to hear all day, but it didn't come as quick as he thought it would. He stared at Shizuo, who looked like he was in battle with himself, and hoped for the answer he wanted to hear.

"Yes, I do."

Cassius grinned in a villainous manner, and restrained himself from jumping for joy.

"Jump down," Cassius said gesturing at the bottom of the building.

"What?" Shizuo asked in confusion.

"Jump off this building."

The blonde raised an eyebrow at the beast, was he to jump down and break his skull only to end up back in Hell?

"I'll die!"

Cassius broke into laughter, causing Shizuo to grow angry. He hated Cassius, and he hoped to never see him again.

"It's a portal, that's why it has a strange look. It's made of water, it's a reflection of Ikebukuro, Japan. Oh and as soon as you are back on Earth you'll be blessed with amazing power," Cassius said attempting to persuade Shizuo with power.

The blonde waited for a hint of dishonesty, but failed to find one.

The beast bared his yellow teeth at Shizuo, waiting patiently for the blonde to go.

"And don't forget, if you fall in love with a human, you will die within a matter of days."

He sighed, he lived twenty five years of his life without love, he doesn't need it now .He stared at Ikebukuro for a minute before jumping into the portal.

Cassius didn't break into his usual fit of laughter, nor did he grin with malice. He turned back and waited for a couple of seconds before yelling out.

"Did you get rid of Geode?"

He wasn't talking to himself, a familiar lean man appeared where an air vent once stood. In his hand was the body scaly serpent, with wide open red eyes.

"He's dealt with."

A/N: O.o

Geode is pronounced jee-ohd, he is the snake that was in Shizuo's "dream".

And I wanted to thank everyone for all the support, you guys are amazing!
