Authors Note: Who wants Shiki to get his ass beat? XD

Chapter 12: Even the mightiest of walls break down.

The blood pressure in Shizuo's veins skyrocketed high. The blonde's face burned red with an angry heat. Holding Izaya closer in his arms pressing him against his chest Shizuo growled at the man before him. "You. You're the bastard that hurt Izaya." His fist clenched together cracking his knuckles as he stared down the man causing this emotion.

A slick dirty smirk spread across Shiki's face. "Does that make you angry? Honestly it was about time you found out. He was becoming such a handful, the little slut." He taunted trying to push the other's buttons.

"Don't you dare speak of him in such a way!" Shizuo snarled, shaking in his very stance with Izaya passed out against his beating chest. "You don't know anything-"

"I know plenty Shizuo Heiwajima. It is you who knows nothing of him. You see for the past few years he has been my greatest company. Not that you would know of course because he kept it hidden from you." Pausing Shiki looked over at the blonde across from him. Shizuo's eyes were wide with disbelief. His entire frame racked with emotion. Chuckling to himself Shiki continued, " He is a liar and a filthy man, you honestly don't expect to move on with a good relationship after this do you?"

Stuttering for words Shizuo struggled to respond to the underground leader. He held onto Izaya trying to gain some sort of strength. "I-...He-.."

"Let yourself hate him. Just like old times, hand him over to me and I can release you of this pest and leave you to your most wanted peace and solitude." He grinned.

Looking down at the man collapsed in his arms Shizuo didn't need to think twice in the situation. Slowly he walked toward the man in the way of his exit. "He is a flea and he is a plotting person." The blonde began. "He may have made some wrong choices,but...so have I. I don't know what exactly he and you have done together, but there is no way in hell I am going to listen to you and take your word over his!" Shizuo screamed his voice growing louder now by each syllable. "He is not trash, he is my boyfriend, my lover. Though he may have secrets from me I will not allow you to stand there, the man who has touched and abused WHAT IS MINE to speak down on him!" In a split second Shizuo full on punched Shiki strait in the face knocking him down and back a few feet out the bar's door. Following him outside, with the resting informant still in his hold he lifted Shiki up and tossed him against the brick wall of the building. A smirk gleamed on Shizuo's own facial features when he noticed blood begin to stain that flashy white suit.

Feeling blood begin to fall down his face Shiki wiped his forehead of the liquid and glared up at the brute attacking him. "You can't expect to fight me with the informant in your arms." He said trying to get out of the situation.

Chuckling an evil laugh Shizuo replied, "Oh I can and I will." Stomping over to a yeild sign, he returned to the injured male before him. "Truth be told I do hate violence, but I think this one time I can make an exception."

"I'm not scared of you" Shiki said lying right between his teeth. Even he was no fool, he knew how strong this man was. He began regreting on taunting the brute. The resulting factor of angering the once debt collector was coming back and making matters worse for him. Shiki finally realized if this continued he would be beaten to a bloody pulp. He felt the first swing hit him right in the face with the flat metal of the sign. Feeling the impact he feared he would have to resort to begging. Hell, after one hit he felt as if he was going to die. "Can't we just talk about this? UGH!"

"YOU WANT TO TALK? HUH?" He took another swing. "YOU PISS ME OFF, YOU ARE A FUCKING GANG LEADER AND YOUR AFRAID TO TAKE A HIT!" Another swing splat more blood against the wall. Dropping the blood stained sign to the ground Shizuo leaned over and kicked Shiki in the stomach harshly jabbing his foot into it. "HOW DOES IT FEEL?" Shizuo felt himself slipping, he was getting out of control. He knew, but he couldn't stop himself. "DIE!" He began stomping continuously on the other's body. "DIE DIE DIE!" Bending down the now lost in rage blonde began to punch at him in a repeating pattern "DIE!"

Hearing the now unsteady pattern of a heartbeat Izaya wearily opened his eyes to see hear Shizuo screaming at the top of his lungs. Confused he tilted his head to see Shizuo punching Shiki into a bloody mess. "Shizuo" He said, eyes widening at the sight. Shifting in his arms Izaya turned himself in Shizuo's tight hold and held the blonde's shaken face. "SHIZUO!" Confused Shizuo shook his head as if he was in a daze, his fist froze mid-air, foot over Shiki's throat preventing him from moving. Looking down below him, mocha eyes locked with auburn.

"I-Izaya?" Shizuo cautiously asked.

Soft bruised hands ran themselves through the sweaty mop of the blonde's hair. "Leave him Shizu-Chan."

"H-How can you say that?!" Shizuo snapped back at him. "After all he has done to you?!" Tears pricked at his eyes threating to fall.

"I know what he has done, but Shizuo you don't need to do this to him."

"I was just defending you-"

Smiling a soft weak smile at his boyfriend Izaya held Shizuo's face in his own. "You did well. You are the best boyfriend anyone could ask for to defend and kick ass for them, but he will get what he deserves."

"But-"

"Lets just go home Shizu-Chan~ Just you and me, together. We can clean this jerk's blood off your beautiful face." Loosening his grip Shizuo allowed Izaya to entertwine their hands and pull him away from the beyond shocked, but greatly injured Shiki.

Izaya turned at glared at Shiki, "Speak of us, or come near us again I will not make him stop." He threatened.

Turning back to Shizuo the dark haired man tried to comfort his wiled up beast of a boyfriend. "See, thats a good Shizu-Chan" Izaya smiled as leading him home leaving the beaten man behind them.

One in the door of their apartment all Izaya heard from Shizuo was little mutters of him saying that he lost control.

Grabbing a wash cloth Izaya began to clean up Shizuo's face with soap and water. With the male still silent, the informant slowly lead Shizuo to the sink to wash his bloody hands. After all the blood was cleaned from the blonde's body Izaya looked into Shizuo's lost eyes. "I'm sorry Shizuo."

Lifting his head up, Shizuo whispered. "Its not your fault."

"No it is, I kept secrets and lied to you. So here it is..." Sighing Izaya continued. "Shiki threatened me for many things, mainly you. I know honestly you can take care of yourself and that I should have asked you for help, but I hate to admit that I was scared. He, he usually would just abuse me,but...the last event he just ...he raped me Shizuo. He has never done that before." Izaya began to shake, in rejection at feeling such a fear. "I'm sorry Shizuo I got away as fast as I could. I am so sorry I left you all alone. Please forgive m-"

The apology was cut off as Shizuo enclosed his mouth onto Izaya's. Pulling away he responded. "I forgive you for everything, but no secrets...no more. 'Cause if I lose you again like this, I really might lose myself."

Izaya hugged the trembling man before him. "I promise."

"He-He makes me so angry. I-I lost control back there. I could have killed him. I wanted to kill him. " Shizuo fisted his hands in his hair as sitting on the edge of their bed.

Hopping himself onto the bed Izaya wrapped his arms around Shizuo behind him. "But you didn't."

"I-I-I can't calm down, this is why I hate this strength and anger its not controllable!" Shizuo shouted at himself.

Leaning forward Izaya leaned to Shizuo's ear and kissed it lightly as unbuttoning the remainder of Shizuo's clothing. "Let me calm you down."
