A/N: Sorry fights aren't my specialty, R&R.

Izaya

"So how do you expect me to prove my strength?"

"Do you have something in mind?"

"How does fighting a berserker with super strength, an inability to feel most pain, and a healing factor sound?"

"You need to either kill them or last a long time."

Izaya walked down the road of Ikebukuro hands in his pockets a camera pinned to the front of his jacket and Tsunahime trailing him with another. I didn't show it but I was a little nervous I was hoping that she wouldn't turn into a casualty the very thought made me feel like my blood turned to ice it's been 10 years I don't know how well she can fight let alone dodge. Just as I was about to abort my search for Shizu-chan I heard it.

"Izaayaa!" the shout of an angry beast, the fearful and surprised screaming of bystanders, and the screeching of something being ripped from the cement ground. Turning to the noise I see Shizu-chan with a stop sign and I faintly hear the camera click on from Hime's direction. My nervousness vanished and I stood resolutely in place whether Hime could defend herself or not it is my job to hide her away from harm and I'm not gonna let my nerves get the better of me. I pulled out my switchblade and bounced away from my previous position and willed the swirled violet flames(mist my mind reminded me) to hide her from notice and to avoid her. No way would I fail my duty and have her(my sky, my home, my sister) taken from me in the worst way possible.


"Shizu-chan how are you today?" I say as I dodge a punch to the ground where once stood mere seconds ago.

"flee I told you to stay out of Ikebukuro" The protozoan shouts as I retaliate with a knife slit his clothes but not managing to draw blood and skip and jump and backflip away when Shizu-chan tries to punch me in retaliation.

"Sorry, Shizu-chan you'd have to die first," I said a sardonic smirk stretching across my face as I leaped away when Shizu-chan pulled a lamppost out of the ground.

"No, die, flee." He said swinging the lamppost in my direction with a wall behind me I decide to use the lamppost as a springboard.


"Do me a favor Shizu-chan?" I said breathing a little heavy now I've been fighting Shizu- chan for a few minutes now. about 10 by my estimate. My answer was a car tire being thrown at me his lamppost thrown sometime awhile back along with a dozen others.

"No, flee!" He was visibly gritting his teeth and was reaching for the rest of the hunk of junk that was once a luxury vehicle but was now in 3 pieces and missing the tires as we had changed locations to the more beat up part of town close to the junkyard this was a common sight now.

"I honestly didn't think that you would agree to the favor anyway." It was a good thing anyway the more difficult he made this the better I looked on camera and the less likely I would be to be hunted down. No matter what people think no one is invincible enough to avoid an entire organization actively searching for them and after their blood numbering hundreds maybe thousands without serious backup plans which I have never planned for such.

"Then why did you ask, flee?!" Why did I ask while Shizu- chan here is the most challenging and powerful individual in Ikebukuro he was just that an individual. Much easier to avoid than a group. I figured it was good to ask one last manipulation attempt I don't know no matter what other people think I do not plan everything, I do not know everything I just read people perfectly, I know a lot, I don't really plan anything out to perfection, and take advantage of unexpected situations. Just cause people think I'm always planning something doesn't mean I am. I am an improviser so why did I ask for Shizu- chan to die?

"No reason a protozoan would understand," I said smirking as the car piece was tossed at me I dodged left up on top of a street sign. I think I know the one person I could never manipulate...

"Damn Flee!" I jumped to the next one tossed my disposable knives at the monster a few stuck in his incredibly tough skin causing the monster a few gashes but nothing serious. The one person that was always giving me a challenge...

"No Damn you Shizu-chan." I proceeded to parkour to the top of a small building nearby Shizu-chan following me. The one person who I can be myself with for a few moments every time I see him...

"Stop running bastard!" He said looking at me with fury Tsunahime clinging to his back without his notice obviously trying to follow me jump down from the roof onto a veranda a lamppost a car and then finally a the road where the bystanders scattered as Shizu- chan followed me straight to the street creating a crater and shaking Tsunahime from his back in the process. But I have someone else who I can be myself with...

"Ne ne, this is why you are a monster Shizu-chan look at the damage!" I said laughing and spinning around flicking my knife at him every other second slowly turning his bartender outfit red as he lashed out at me with his fists. Shizu-chan is not my first friend...

"Why aren't you running like usual?" I smile at him and jumped over him trying to aim for his neck. Shizu-chan isn't even close to a friend...

"Do you want me to run?" I said standing still as he stomped over to me. I don't hate him though strangely enough...

"What are you planning, flee?!" I smirk and skip back a few steps before he can grab me. I'm not that close to him though he can see through me pretty well...

"Why Shizu-chan only the obvious." I felt a punch graze my side even as I plunged my favorite switchblade the one I had since high school into his stomach. You know I think I'm gonna miss this...

"Izaya you're clear." I could hear Tsunahime's voice a little ways away even but everything was a blur. I just wish that we didn't have to hate each other...

"Die." I look over at my Shizu-chan he was glaring at me trying to keep his insides in. The world would be more peaceful don't you say...

"Izaya did you not hear me, you don't have to fight anymore?" I limp over uncomfortably to the kneeling blonde. It seems I am worrying my little sister I better hurry this up...

"It ends today" I raise the blood-drenched switchblade in preparation. Goodbye, my rival.

My vision turned black.


"Izaya!" I was experiencing a new emotion, Izaya had already gotten injured and he kept on moving with that kind of strength no way did that blow not damage his internal organs. I watched helplessly as he collapsed barely avoiding landing on Heiwajima Shizuo. I just got close when a lady with a cat helmet and a black biker suit appeared on a neighing motorcycle.
