A/N: Thank you everyone for the reviews, alerts, favorites. They mean a lot to me ^.^ I have some good news, the next chapter will be updated quicker than usual, I've already typed it but I'm still editing, so look forward to that. If you haven't skimmed through the last chapters, this one won't be to confusing (I hope) ;P
The alleyway suddenly felt suffocating to Tamara, the deep voice made her cringe. It only got spookier; she could vaguely make out the silhouette of a muscular being, at the end of the narrow alleyway. No matter how wide she made her eyes she couldn't see anything but the creep next to her, his crimson eyes dancing with excitement and a hint of surprise. She raised an eyebrow at him, could he see what was there?
As clear as day Izaya saw none other than Shizuo Heiwajima at the end of the aisle, his hands deep in his pocket and his features as serious as his voice. If this guy had overheard his little conversation with the women, he was screwed.
"Well, well; look who came to play Superman," Izaya said with a lopsided grin, "care to tell me who you are?"
For a second Shizuo was completely confused, this guy remained calm, even when a 300 pound machine just came hurling over his head. It quickly faded away though, how could he be so nonchalant and calm about this, one should be running out of the alley.
"It doesn't matter who I am, I don't want to harm anyone. So please, let her go and leave." That's exactly what Izaya wanted to hear, it was now obvious that the brute had not heard his plan, but was his monstrous strength not a secret to him?
"Oh but it does, I've been living in the city for years and nobody had ever dared to stop me from doing my business," he wiggled his eyebrows at Tamara, who for a minute both men forgot about.
Tamara's heart sped up at the sight of the two men, beasts. The man she thought was going to help her, her last bit of hope, he was probably no different then the one who get her in this mess. She jumped at every little thing she heard, but she then went completely deaf. She could see the men exchanging words, but heard nothing being said. She could see fists being curled up, and steps being taken, but heard not even her own breathing.
As quickly as her hearing was taken, her sight was too, her plan of slipping away from Death's scrawny fingers was slipping away from her own. She was too paralyzed to speak.
A strong wind blew past her, teasing her, telling her to run; quickly! Maybe they were fighting and this wind was a sign to go while they weren't looking.
"Leave this alleyway now." It was a raspy, cold voice, one that an average person wouldn't listen to, but Tamara Hamilton was desperate.
Izaya stood at his end of the alley, and a fuming Shizuo on the other end. He tried to hold himself back, he didn't care if he this would earn him a sin anymore, surely he could make up for it.
"Help me! Help me! There's a monster in this-"Tamara ran straight into Shizuo, his eyebrow raised at her direction.
"Help me," she shrieked as she realized she ran into him. She felt his hand gently resting on her shoulder, telling her it would all be alright.
"Fight him, he'll kill you!" The voice hissed, and for a second Tamara saw wild, mismatched eyes.
She started kicking him and slapping him, but he caught her arm with ease.
Her cries for help were muffled by Shizuo hand clasped over her mouth. She screamed from beneath his palm, hoping somebody would hear her.
"Calm down, please." Shizuo didn't like where this was headed, he could feel anger rising like the tension in that alley.
She didn't scream again though began punching him, uncontrollably.
"Hey, cut it out!" Shizuo reached for her arm, as it was just about to hit his face. Suddenly, he felt the tip of her heel collide with his knee.
"Dammit stop!" She continued trying to fight him off.
"Please, stop screaming. I'll get you out of here safely if you jus-Ow!" he yelled when he felt the women teeth bite deep into his palm. She managed to wiggle her hand out of his grasp and began hitting him again.
Before she could get another slap in, a scream erupted from his throat, and held a note for about five seconds. He grabbed her arm and threw her up over his head and kicked her body into the wall.
Izaya's eyes widened at the scene in front of him. He saw the life exit from her body as she took her last breath, blood oozed from her head as her body stood limply upside-down.
Her neck curved and broke just a few seconds later, a dark liquid poured from her neck and stained the alley floor. Police car lights flashed through the whole scene, and yellow tape surrounded the alley, keeping it separate from the rest of Ikebukuro.
That alleyway turned into a crime scene just a few hours later, that alleyway where Tamara Hamilton took her last breathe and lost her senses. That alleyway that separated two building; and standing on top of one of those buildings was a smirking beast and fearful serpent.
"Our work here is finished Geode, you know have a one-way ticket to Heaven," Cassius stood on top of that building watching the scene before him, with no other than Geode the snake.
Cassius sighed and turned on his heel, this whole scene reminded him of the past, and that was one thing he didn't want to remember. He focused all his power on the snake, he felt like a sponge absorbing every last bit of the power he had just given the snake.
It was an explosion of colors as he took it all back, but it was a curse to possess such power but to not ever be able to use it.
He created a portal back to the underworld and gestured for the snake go in first.
He hoped his plan would work out precisely how he wanted it to, but with Shizuo and Izaya, anything could happen.
