It was about a month towards the school year when I realized Shizuo's and Izaya's "game" of cat and mouse. Whether it was in class or outside of campus, every time Shizuo saw Izaya, he would grab something and pick up things normal people wouldn't be able to and throw them at Izaya. The first time I saw it was in homeroom class. For odd reasons, Izaya would come to my class every morning, visiting me. I didn't look too much into, but my female classmates did and would often give me glares and talk about me behind my back. I didn't care, since I didn't like Izaya in any way. We went out once or twice, but that's about it. Izaya asked me out again. He grabbed my right hand and brought it up to his lips. He wore the same Chesire like smirk on his lips. I stared into his reddish-brown eyes, still revealing that malicious intent. A low growl was heard from behind him.

"IIIIIZZZZZAAAAAYYYYAAA!"

I looked up behind him to see a flying desk heading towards the both of us. Izaya's smirk curved wider as he jumped up and landed behind me. I didn't flinch a muscle as the desk landed right in front of me. Shizuo was panting heavily as his and legs were paused in the same stance he threw the desk. Though I didn't reveal it on my face, I was shocked to see the strength Shizuo had. My heart was pounding rapidly.

"I better go my dear. I'll be waiting for that answer. ~"

After that he left.

Shizuo was still panting heavily as he stood up straight. I got up from my seat and walked up to him. With the same anger in his eyes, he stared down at me as I stood in front of him. I handed him my carton of milk I was about to drink, before Izaya interrupted me.

"Drinks this." I demanded him kindly.

"Milk always calms me down when I'm angry. Maybe it will to you too."

Without taking his eyes off me, he took the carton from my hands.

"Thanks…." He mumbled.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Ain't no problem." I said to him as I walked away and sat back in my seat.

A small smiled curved upon my lips as I thought about that. After I gave him that milk, he became so calm and relaxed. He was like a grumpy baby. Until he drank some bottled milk. After that happened, Shizuo and I became close in a friendly way. I would be the only one that was able to calm him down when he got furiously angry. People even called for me to tell me that Shizuo was acting up again and needed me to calm him down.

I decided to chase after them. I haven't seen Shizuo and Izaya in years. I wanted to meet them again, especially…Shizuo.

I stopped in my tracks when I only saw Shizuo. He was standing alone, still holding the stop sign in his hand. His other hand was stuck in his pocket. He took a drag from his cigarette as he stared off into the sky. I guessed where Izaya disappeared, since he was no longer to be found anywhere. As I stared at Shizuo from behind him, I thought he looked extremely….cool.

"Shizu-chan…"I accidently muttered out.

I grabbed my mouth when I realized I whispered his name. I watched as Shizuo turned around and stared down at me. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't recognize me. We haven't seen each other for a few years.

"Haruka…?" He asked me with a hint of shock in his voice.

I nodded my head.

I was surprised he even remembered me.

"I….it's been awhile, Shizu-chan." I smiled warmly at him.

He took the cigarette out of his mouth and threw it on the ground. He rose his foot up and stepped on it, putting it out. He walked up towards me. My heart started racing when he stood so close in front of me. So close, that there was barely an inch of space between our two bodies. He grazed a strand of hair away from my face. I closed my eyes when his thumbed gently caressed my right cheek... The softness of his warm touch brought back blissful memories. I held onto his hand with mine as they cupped my cheek. My heart was racing out of my chest as I felt heat creep up to my cheeks. My eyes were still closed, but I felt Shizuo lean his face closer to mine.

"Yo, Shizuo!"

Someone calling out to him interrupted us. I shot open my eyes to see another guy waving his hand at Shizuo. He was tall, wore a suit, and had dark brown dreadlocks and tan skin like mine. Shizuo stared back down at me as I looked back up at him.

"I have to go. I'll…..see you later?" He asked me.

I nodded my head, answering his question with a yes.

After that, he walked away with the other guy. It must be a job thing.

I grabbed my chest as I tried to calm myself down. Every time I saw Shizuo, my heart would sway and do flips. I took a deep breath and exhaled it out. I thought about a couple of old friends that I would love to see. I already knew where they live, so I decided to pay them a visit. I wonder if they would remember who I am.
