Hey look! Chapter three! I need to thank Llama for the title too, she thought of it and remember, she is the co-authour. We BOTH wrote this story. If you want to see what the unedited version of our rp's look like she is posting one of out Togainu no Chi rp's on her own account randomllama.
Celty spoke with Shizuo the next day. She told him the truth of course, knowing it was foolish to lie to him. Besides he agreed to meet this girl anyways. Izaya was even willing enough to go as far as wearing high heels and a dress, specially modified to hide his masculinity... More like just his male body as he was fairly androgynous as it was, but even Shizuo failed to recognize him, and that was saying something. Izaya became this 'Shya' perfectly, since she seemed the total opposite of him.
"H-Heiwajima-san," He had to really focus and not call him 'Shizu-chan'.
"Ah? Oh are you um...Shya-chan?" He asked blinking in surprise. Izaya nodded, holding his hand to his chin and blushing, he even wore colored contacts to hide his unique eyes.
"Ah...r-right, well...nice to meet you," He said. She smelled familiar...and for some reason she reminded him of Izaya...but not in a bad way either.
"S-Same, n-nice to m-meet you Heiwajima-san..." Izaya fidgeted nervously, and then glanced at Shizuo in a similar manner that he had the night they'd had sex. It sent the oddest jolt of pleasure through Shizuo too. He had no idea what he was doing though. He'd had a couple one night stands sure, but he'd never made a real attempt at a relationship either. Most people were too scared of him excepting the few rare times he had been drunk…usually thanks to Shinra.
"Can... Can, I-I give you m-my number?" Izaya stammered out shyly... Despite the fact he already had Shizuo's
"Uh Y-yeah, sure, I guess..." He said, shrugging one shoulder. Izaya smiled as Shya would and then dug around clumsily in the purse and pulled out a card that had a number on it that was one of Izaya's numerous phones. Shizuo took it and gave her his number since she shouldn't have it...if she weren't Izaya she wouldn't.
"AH!" Izaya pretended to gasp in surprise, though it sounded like that night, "Th-Thank you Heiwajima-san!"
"R-right, sure," He frowned at the gasp. Everything about this chick screamed Izaya but...not Izaya. It was really disconcerting. She was hot though...Izaya bowed and then stood straight again with his normal trademark grin causing Shizuo's eyes to narrow in suspicion. There was no way a female version of Izaya could exist right? Unless this was Izaya in disguise, but what purpose that would serve was beyond Shizuo. Izaya saw that on Shizuo and cursed inwardly as he pretended to be flustered and looked down brushing the wig behind his ear.
"Right so..." He cleared his throat. Now he was really confused.
"U-Uhm, C-Celty-san, I think I-I'll be fine now... Thank you," Izaya stammered. She nodded once and typed a quick [Be nice!] to Shizuo before speeding off. Now Shizuo felt awkward too. Ah, wait, why did he say that? Izaya stared after Celty in a mild moment of panic; he could only keep up his shy act because she was there.
"So uh...what exactly did you have in mind then?" Shizuo asked, trying to be casual. He wasn't good with people though. Izaya had no clue...
"U-Uhm, want to h-have cof-ffee?" He stammered though
"Sure, what the hell," He shrugged. He didn't drink coffee...too bitter. But he liked other stuff.
"Well, maybe t-tea instead," Izaya laughed nervously, he didn't like coffee either.
"Sounds even better," Shizuo grinned handsomely then. He liked tea. That was pretty good. Izaya stared in disbelief at that, no monster was allowed to be handsome!
"I-I know a good place," Izaya came over his shock eventually, and then lead the way, amazingly stable on heels. He had practiced after all. Shizuo nodded and followed. People got out of his way and avoided him like they usually did if they saw him coming down the street. 'So this is what it feels like to have people avoid you?' Izaya blinked as he noted the human's part for them.
"Here it is," He said shyly, Cafe Kichijouji De hung on a sign as there was outside seating. Shizuo had heard of the place, but he'd never actually tried the stuff either. It was actually Izaya's favorite place because he could always get something to satisfy his tastes. They were seated outside and he ordered a fruity tea. Shizuo ordered a black infusion tea. He liked those since they weren't strong, but the fruity ones always tasted a bit bitter to him. Izaya had strange tastes. He also ordered a little tart that complimented his tea so there was no complaining from him while Shizuo ordered something with strawberries. He liked strawberries a lot, so he indulged and besides this place had prices in his range. Izaya took that bit of information in, though he wasn't sure why he was so happy about it...
"I-I just moved here," He lied
"Really? What area?" He asked, genuinely curious.
"Near O-Otome Road," He lied.
"Oh..." Erika probably knew where that was he decided, since he'd heard it was like an Otaku heaven. Izaya heard about it from her in fact.
"Y-Yeah, h-have you lived here l-long?"
"Yeah. I've been in Ikebukuro my whole life," He answered.
"D-Don't you ever want to move or see the world?"
"I like where I am. And I don't really have money to travel outside Tokyo so I don't really think about it," He shrugged.
"Ah, th-that's understandable..." Izaya sipped his tea nervously; unsure of why he was so nervous, this was only a monster!
"How about you? Where are you moving from?"
"Ah, Sh-Shinjuku," Ah! Why'd he tell the truth?
"Not too far away then," He nodded.
"N-No, but I'm l-leaving my friends and f-family..." More or less…Shizuo nodded.
"Still. Only twenty minutes on the JR line right? I walk there now and then." Mainly to kill Izaya, but he left that out.
"Yes, b-but I've never been able to t-talk to people... S-So they worry..." Where was this lie coming from? Izaya was panicking inwardly at having to fabricate Shya completely and on the spot like this. He really should have thought this whole thing through some more.
"I see. Ikebukuro's pretty much okay I guess..." He said.
"It's...Safe?" Izaya questioned, what kind of answer would he get then?
"Well...as safe as any other area I guess...I mean just don't go near the guys that were the same colors or the Yakuza and you'll be okay,"
"Uhm, but-but, the internet says you're scary too..." The internet according to Izaya did anyways.
"Ah...yeah, I guess I can be if someone pisses me off," He admitted. 'But it is fun,' Izaya thought and almost smirked at the thought of making his monster mad.
"I-I'll try not to then..."
"Oh...I don't hurt women," He said. He had once. After that he had sworn never to harm a woman again. Izaya blinked... A very useful piece of information... He was able to keep this act up until one of his phones went off and he inwardly frowned at the message.
"Uhm, I'm sorry H-Heiwajima-san, but I have to go..."
"Ah...r-right, well, it was nice meeting you," He said, though he was still strongly reminded of Izaya. It was odd...she sounded kinda like him; she smelled exactly like him, she even looked similar... Izaya placed down his share of the bill and stood.
"Yes, C-Can we meet again Heiwajima-san?"
"Yeah...I'd like that," He smiled again. Izaya grinned his usual Izaya grin at that.
"Ah, okay! B-Bye Heiwajima-san!" He then ran off semi-casually... He had to change first. Her grinning exactly like Izaya...that was the really weird part. Shizuo sighed and frowned, wondering if he should pursue this idea of Shya being Izaya or not...well, he was suspicious at any rate.
Shizuo was later interrogated first by Celty, then by Erika who happened to overhear that he had been on a date. She was very lucky Shizuo didn't hit women when she started going on about how him getting a girlfriend opened lots of opportunities for her new Doujinshi involving him and Izaya. Togusa's van was less lucky; except the poor man simply cried because he's not crazy enough to go against or challenge Shizuo... he just didn't want Walker or Erika to pick another otaku door. Celty was also under the impression Shya was truly a female, so as a female herself, she was curious how Shizuo fared with her.
Izaya made it home and changed, hiding away those clothes... 'Ah,' the informant smirked and decided to buy more clothes like this since it was an effective way to get closer to Shizuo. After all there's a saying to keep your friends close but your enemies closer, and what better way to do that than cross-dress and pretend to be a shy girl? His meeting went smoothly, selling off semi-accurate information to a foreign mafia branch that was coming to Ikebukuro for business. Shiki had paid him extra to lie since the man didn't trust these foreigners. Later that night, Izaya signed into the Dollars' site as both Kanra and Shya to see what would happen. Of course it was abuzz with news that Shizuo had been seen on a 'date like setting' with a chick. Shizuo only got the mass texts and messages sent out so he was unaware that the internet constantly buzzed away about him.
{Shya\H-Hello, good evening...}
{Kanra\Welcome~~~} Izaya was able to post as two different people as he had two computers.
{Shya\Setton-san, thank you again!}
{Setton\You're welcome.}
{Taro Tanaka\Yeah! Hey, how'd it go?}
{Shya\I-It went well... I think...}
{Setton\Did you two talk after I left?}
{Shya\AH, y-yes, we had tea...}
{Taro Tanaka\That's good! Are you going to see him again?}
{Saika\What happened?}
{Shya\I-I... I got his number!}
{Kanra\OOOO~ Lucky! But watch out, he's a monster!}
{Saika\Not really}
{Taro Tanaka\Well, he is scary. First time I saw him he threw a convenience store trash can at someone!}
{Kanra\Oh my! See, a m~o~n~s~t~e~r~}
{Setton\Kanra-san, don't say such things! And Taro-kun, you shouldn't scare someone who's new to Ikebukuro!}
{Shya\*lol* I've yet to see it, but... I don't think I'll be scared.}
{Taro Tanaka\AH! S-sorry. I was just really surprised the first time I saw it. I didn't know someone could really be that strong!}
{Saika\Kanra, why do you think he's a monster?}
{Kanra\Because I've seen it~! Shizuo-kun doesn't die, even when you kill him! He's like this: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻}
{Setton\KANRA!}
{Kanra\Also, I've heard rumors that he's gay! Nobody would like a monster like that!}
{Taro Tanaka\Kanra, if he went on a date with a girl, he can't be gay. And I never heard those rumors...}
{Saika\That's because Kanra started them...}
{Kanra\Saika-chan, how could you! TT-TT}
{Setton\No, she's right, you lie too much Kanra.}
{Shya\ O-Oh... W-Well I'm glad to have your support everyone, but I have to go now...Good night 3}
Izaya stuck around as Kanra to rally them up to get them to help Shya more with Shizuo. Even Anri wanted to help by the end of it, all three falling into his well-played trap easily enough but he just hoped the smarter three weren't able to see through his disguise, though it was good enough to fool his mortal-monster-enemy. Kanra logged off and Shya texted Shizuo.
[Today was fun, when can I see you again?] Shizuo blinked at the message and ended up smiling though he wasn't sure why.
[I'm free Wednesday] He replied. That was his next day off anyways, and it gave Izaya enough to time to shop.
[Okay! ^_^ S-Same place?]
[Same place as in the park, or the tea shop?] He asked. He decided it would be a good idea to double check.
[Ah! T-The park, m-maybe we can go somewhere else?]
[Sure. See you there then] He smiled and hoped Izaya didn't turn up and ruin his good mood for a while.
Seliphra: Otome road is real, go look it up humans.
Izaya: Ooh, I am the best troll of all~!
Seliphra: Yes you are, you are even willing to cross dress to troll!
Shizuo: Why do I have a feeling this will backfire badly?
Seliphra: Who knows, review humans!
Izaya: (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
