CHAPTER 2: informant trouble

Shizuo was at a loss, unsure of what to do. He couldn't take the girl in, yet he was under no obligation to leave her on her own in the condition she was in. all this thinking was giving him a headache.

"For now you can stay here", he grumbled trying to adjust the glasses upon his face. He was twitching with the anger of having to babysit a girl, a girl who could possibly kill him in his sleep if she wanted.

"listen I need to get back to work, but don't worry no one can come back here so you'll be fine". Shizuo then let the door shut behind him. He stood o n the opposite end of the door and let out a deep sigh. He didn't have the heart to turn the girl away, or tell her to get lost; he realized that his only choice was to help her get her lost memory back. All this was such a hassle for him.

After about three hours Shizuo's shift was over. He said bye to his co-workers and made his way back to the room in the back. He opened the door, she was gone. "what the hell!", he blurted looking into the empty room with a small window in the back open with the wind blowing in.

"I'm seriously going to strangle this kid", he gritted as he ran out the front door of the bar. He looked left and then to the right.

"have you seen a girl, about ye high with brown hair?" he asked every other passerby. To no avail no one had seen her. "Great a freakin bipolar girl on the loose in one of the most gang rated towns" Shizuo said still looking around.

"I see you lost something", a too familiar voice sounded behind Shizuo. Shizuo turned to see the most wanted man on his list, Izaya.

"Why the hell are you here?" Shizuo asked with a glare.

"ooh, if only looks killed," Izaya taunted with a smile, "I'm actually only here on business but I thought that I would stop by and see my special friend, oh looks like I just did" Izaya continued with the taunts. Shizuo was about ready to lose his mind if he didn't do something about Izaya.

"I don't have time to deal with vermin like you" Shizuo said stepping in a fighting stance.

"that's too bad, and here I was going to tell you something about a young girl with brown hair and immense strength, but if you insist I leave then bye", Izaya waved and began to trot away.

"Wait, what do you mean? How do you know this girl?" Shizuo asked angry more than ever at the fact that Izaya was taunting him about valuable information.

Izaya stopped running and looked behind him, "you know I don't give the facts out for free right?" he said smiling. Shizuo could tell that his smile was not warm but yet a demon who loves to see its prey rip itself together to get to the truth.

"What don't I know?" Izaya laughed. "I mean I practically own the city," he looked down at his hand and held it up, "all of the humans are my pawns in my game of fun," he laughed more manically now.

"IZAYA!" Shizuo yelled. Izaya stopped laughing only immediately.

"I know we've had our differences in the past but why not put that behind us for right now, and then I will start telling you where your little love interest ran off to". Shizuo sort of gritted his teeth to the point they could be heard sawing together. "As if I would ever believe that load of crap", Shizuo roared as he lifted up the lifted up a street sign and throw it in the direction of Izaya. Izaya stepped to the side as the sign flung to the right of him. The bricks on the wall crumbled away on impact as the sign's imprint appeared clearly before the two individuals. Izaya's smug look was still lurking across his face.

"it's fine that you don't believe me, so here is a little letter from yours truly to you", he inquired reaching into the jacket pocket and throwing what looked like a pager at Shizuo. Shizuo looked at the technological piece that lay within his hand.

"what is this for?" he asked.

"why, you don't know?" Izaya asked with a teasing surprised look on his face, "in there are the coordinates in which the girl lives".

"bye" Izaya said with a wave before Shizuo could even speak.

Shizuo looked down at the pager a second rime. He turned it on and an address popped up across the screen. "creepy, he knows too much for a little man" Shizuo inquired as he took off running.

Shizuo ended up where the pager said the coordinates were. There was nothing but a broken down building with a bunch of shady characters standing around. Some of the gang members recognized Shizuo and went running off in the opposite direction. Others simply ignored him. Shizuo walked up to a door. The number was the same as on the pager. He grabbed the handle and turned as the door slowly creaked open.

There was nothing but a broken window and shredded shades that laid within the room. Shizuo walked around a bit and kicked around some trash that laid upon the floor. He then noticed a picture that was stuck to the side of the mirror. There were three figures in the photo but one figure that was supposed to be there was torn from the other two.

"She must have a hatred deeper than mine" Shizuo scoffed as he saw there were no other objects of interest in there. He took the photo and tucked it away within his black vest.

Walking out of the room there were a group of guys huddled around in the hallway.

"hey you, can you tell me the name of the person who lives here?" Shizuo announced harshly. The gang members looked up with their pimpled faces and bad case of acne surrounding their face.

"Who the hell are you talking to?" one member asked stepping forward cracking his knuckles.

Shizuo huffed in an annoyed tone.

"GRAAAAAAAH!"

Shizuo yelled out as he punched the man in the face, and the man went flying through one of the plaster walls of the building.

"Lets try this again", Shizuo said popping his shoulder back into place.

"What is the person's name who lives here?" he asked once more taking a step towards the remaining men. Two ran as the third coward in fear. "s-she doesn't have a name" the man inquired covering his face in case Shizuo decided to punch once again.

"What do you mean?" Shizuo asked grabbing the man's collar and lifting him a foot off of the ground.

"I-its just as I said" the man said beginning to bawl his eyes out. Shizuo scoffed and flung the man away from his sight.

Shizuo exited the building when Celty came riding up on her roaring black motorcycle.

"celty?" Shizuo asked.

Celty typed, "I found the girl that you brought in earlier"

"What!" Shizuo said with veins popping on his forehead. "Oh she is going to get her ass beat now" Shizuo said clenching his hand into a fist. Celty typed again. "She was saying something about, "Death coming to someone"; fortunately I took her back to Shinra's".

Celty gave Shizuo the black helmet as he placed it over his head.

"What could she mean, could it be the person who was ripped from the photo?" he asked himself, "either way, violence isn't the answer".

Celty sort of slowly shook her head to inquire how Shizuo should sometimes follow his own advice.

Celty and Shizuo ended up back at the home of Shinra. They both dismounted the bike when they both suddenly heard crashing sounds coming from within the building. There was then a scream and everything went quiet.

Hmmm I wonder what happened, well I guess you will just have to find out when I submit the third chapter, which hopefully it won't be that far away. Oh and I know I said I would have this chapter up in two days but I finished early, because I really like how the plot is turning out inside of my head. Well please don't forget to review, I enjoy hearing your thoughts.
