CHAPTER 5: I will find out who you are

Shizuo swayed in the rolling chair for a few moments. He knew he would be watched if he had taken any action right then and there. He looked at the ceiling, relaxing, with his hands behind his neck. It was still silent in the room; however the silence was not too long until Shinra appeared back into the room.

"She is awake," He said giving a small gesture that the two of them should go with him. Celty and Shizuo rose to their feet and walked back into the room where they had laid the girl to rest. There she was; sitting on the table, legs swung over to the side, with her hands in her lap. There was neither a scratch nor a bruise left on her. Shizuo was quite surprised. Of course the others were as well, but it took a lot to surprise the, always, strong headed man.

The girl's head lifted as her eyes met the other three's in the room. Shinra was the first to speak.

"I am sorry if I scared you before," he said taking a small step forwards to show his trust. As brave as he sounded it was certain he must have been sweating like crazy. The first time he had seen the girl awake, she was chucking objects from around the house at him. It was smart to take baby steps from that point.

"My name is Shinra, I am, what you say, a doctor," He said, this time sticking his hand out towards her. The girl sitting before him gave Shinra a slight frown, this made him gulp. But she stuck her hand out and shook his hand. Shinra became a little bit more relieved by that point. The girl released her grip.

"May I leave?" she asked. Her tone was a little demanding, with a slight fear mixed in. the three people looked at one another for a few moments, and Shinra spoke out once again, "I can't, exactly, let you do that," He said to her. He didn't want to make it seem like he was kidnapping her or holding her captive. Shinra wanted to just let her leave, he would have been more than glad to do so, but he just couldn't.

"Why can't I?" The girl asked, positioning to brace herself in case she would have needed to escape. Shinra looked at her and smiled, "Because you have nowhere to stay that's why!" it was his normal goofy grin. Celty sort of shook her head. Shizuo just stood there.

The girl stopped looking angry now. Her face softened, she knew that Shinra was right. She really had nowhere to go. Before she had gotten here, she was just making her way on the streets like most of the people in the poor part of the city, or rather slums.

"That's why I think you should just stay here!" Shinra said. He was intentionally trying to lift the girl's and his own, spirits so that he would not have to fear her brute strength. Shinra then turned back over to Shizuo, "its fine, I can take it from here so you can leave." This left Shizuo a bit dumbfounded. On the other hand, he contemplated the fact that he wouldn't be 'monitored' by Shinra anymore, and thus finally being able to do as he pleased. That would have been the right advantage he needed for finding out the identity of the girl on his own.

Shizuo looked at the girl, who was now looking straight at him. "Would you be fine here?" He asked, sort of averting his gaze from hers. He didn't like normal confrontation with people, but he really was trying his best there. The girl turned her own head away, "You're not my dad. Why wouldn't I be fine?" She asked, with a slight snobbish attitude in her voice. Shizuo made a gruffed sound as he turned his whole body to the doorway. "Later" he said as he exited the room, went down the stairs and left the building. He was not that far from the building when he stopped and looked back behind him. His assumptions were right; no one was watching him.

The only thing he could do now was go and see the person he despised the most: Izaya. He was the only other person that seemed to know anything about the girl. He didn't like the thought of asking that guy about things, Since Izaya had a dickish way of mixing truth with lies, and then watching his victims crash and fall.

Walking down the street he stopped himself. He really didn't know where to go now. He really didn't have a clue as to where Izaya was. Izaya normally appeared whenever it was most convenient for his self.

"Dammit" Shizuo cursed from under his breath. That was when he heard the engine of a motorcycle, as Celty dismounted her bike. He turned; she held her phone in his face.

"I am here to help you," it said.

"Shinra know about this?" he asked folding his arms over his chest.

Celty had shaken no, from under her helmet. Shizuo then sighed, "Then you know where Izaya is right?"

Celty sort of scratched the back of her head (helmet) as she looked away from Shizuo for a moment. She didn't want to reveal where Izaya worked to Shizuo, since the two of them weren't all that friendly towards each other.

"It's not what you think, I just need to ask him some…questions" he said trying to see if that wording was right. Celty crossed her arms, let them back to her side, and then nodded her head at Shizuo. She gave him the extra helmet she had and the two of them hopped on her bike. Celty knew this was really not going to end well, for either party.

She sped off with Shizuo hitched to her back, Izaya the only thing in the pair's minds.
