Chapter 3 - Our Second Meeting
B.Y.R:
Hahaha. i love how you guys are supporting this story! It makes me smile, so heres a present for you! Enjoy~
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
"Hmm?"
Pulled out of his day dream, Izaya checked his phone. A text message was sent to him. And you would never have guessed who it was from.
"Shizu-chan? Interesting... How did he get my number?"
Opening the text, the informant read and re-read the message twice before he smiled.
-Hey. I need to talk to you. Can you meet me by the high school?-
"Well well, I wonder what he wants. Probably to just kill me, but then again he didn't sound angry in his text... What is he up to...?"
Since he was already at Raira, the brunet decided to meet with the blonde to see what he wanted. In all honesty, curiosity had taken over and he wanted to know why the monster wanted to see him.
-Of course Shizu-chan~ I'm already up at Raira so I'll be waiting for you there!-
Pressing send, he closed his phone with a satisfying smile on his face as he stared down at the ground. No one was around, which meant that everyone had went home. Looking to the east, he saw that the sun had almost disappeared from the horizon, indicating that it was a little pass six.
"*sigh* why does he want to meet me so late during the day? Why does he even want to meet me in the first place? This isn't like the monster..."
As he sat on the roof top, Izaya hummed a little tune to himself as he waited. Minutes passed and still no sign of the blonde anywhere. The informant was beginning to think that he had been tricked, but he received another text.
-Sorry. I'll be a little late. We can talk tomorrow if you want."
-Whatever you want Shizu-chan. It's you who wants to meet me.-
-Then I'll just meet you tomorrow.-
"He's avoiding me... I can tell..."
Saddened by the sudden change in plans, the brunet got up from the roof and headed down the stairs. Picking the lock, he walks down the empty, abandon halls of Raira. Echoes from how footsteps filled the halls as he strolled down them. Walking pass his old homeroom, he couldn't help but remember the first day he transferred here.
"And this will be your homeroom."
The assistance principle was the transfer student's tour guide around the facility. Izaya had transferred to Raira during the middle of his junior year when his middle school acquaintance, Shinra, asked him to attend the private school with him. Passing the entrance exam was a piece of cake and the brunet needed a change in scenery. As he entered his homeroom, he went to the windows and looked out. Many other students were being to collect around the front gates, arriving with friends. He glared at the sight; everything was basically the same here. Though it was a new start, the brunet knew he wouldn't be making any friends here either. He'd given up on trying to make friends back in elementary school, so why start now? He gave off a vibe that made others stay as far away from him as possible, and he was just fine with that. As students filed into the building, the future informant just over looked them all. Every single one of them looked the same to him; same hair color, same height, same annoying personality. All but one. One person stood out from the crowd. And it was mostly because of his blonde hair. His sun drop color hair that shined in the faintest light that hits it. He smiled when he saw this person. (Maybe this place won't be as boring as I thought.)
"Izaya? Izaya is that you?"
Hearing his name being called out, the brunet turned around to see a familiar face.
"It is you!"
"Hello Shinra. It's been awhile."
"Yeah! How have you been?"
"Fine."
"That's good to hear! I'm glad you came to Raira! It's gonna be great to have you in class again."
"Sure. I guess it'll be fun."
The brunet just stared at the grinning glasses wearing male. Shinra had always came off as a weird person to Izaya, with his obsession with dissecting things, but they were pals in middle school. Actually, Shinra was basically the only person he really talked to.
"Shinra. I have a question."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Can you tell me who that is?"
"Who?"
"The one with the blonde hair."
"Ohh him! That's Shizuo Heiwajima. You probably want to stay away from him. He has a bit of a temper and can go overboard sometimes."
(No... It can't be him... He looks so familiar though, just his hair is different. But if it is, then there's only one way to make sure.)
"Wait don't tell me, he has inhuman strength! Hahahaha!"
"Actually, you're right on the money with that! How did you know?"
"Umm, lucky guess..."
(So it really is him! The boy who saved me ten years ago... I wonder if he remembers me...)
"Ohh, so since today is the first day of second semester, the teachers are giving us all a day off to get settled in any new classes we might have. Why don't we take the time to catch up?"
"Sure."
"I'll introduce you to a couple of people I know. It'll make things less awkward for you here."
They walked out of their homeroom and strolled down the semi crowded hallway. Most students were searching for their friends, seeing if they had any classes together. Other just stood blocked the halls in small clusters. A mini group of girls stopped and whispered as the brunet passed them. They had wide smiles on their faces and squealed with delight. (How annoying.) Obviously they thought he was attractive, which in fact he was. Izaya had multiple crushes as he grew up, from both genders, but that didn't change the fact that he didn't have any friends. Many only admired him from afar, which made his lonely boy act even more attractive towards crazy fan girls. Once in a while, he would get a confession from one of his fans, but ultimately rejected them all. His excuse: "I can't love one person. That wouldn't be fair to all the other humans in this world." While Shinra had his obsession with dissections, Izaya has his obsession with humans. He hated them, but claimed that he loved them all equally. Making their way around the school, Izaya spaced out as Shinra talked on and on about random things. He was more focused on finding the blonde than anything else. After touring the whole school, the glasses wearing male took them outside to the tennis court. There, they ran into the person the brunet had been waiting to see all day.
"Shizuo! Hey!"
"Hey Shinra."
"I want you to meet someone. This is Izaya Orihara. He transferred this semester into our class."
Stepping out of the blonde's view, Shinra smiled as the two males met. But he soon realized that this wasn't a good idea. The blonde's face was completely pissed, like someone had said something nasty about him.
"Hello Shizuo."
"You piss me off."
"Huh?"
"You. Piss. Me. Off!"
"I... But we..."
(He doesn't remember me... And why do I piss him off? I literally said two words to him! What did I do?)
Confused of the blonde's reaction, Izaya did what he always does when all else fails. He smiles. He smiles a sly, evil smile that scared those around him, causing them to think that he'd kill them at any moment. And of course, this only angered the temperamental teen even more.
"Bastard!"
"My Shizuo~ you're very rude to newbies aren't you? I haven't even done anything yet and you already hate me?"
"It's that face of yours. It just pisses me off!"
"My face?"
"I can tell you're not a good person. You like tormenting others for your own pleasure."
(He can tell all that by just looking at me? Who is this guy?) A bit disappointed by the fact the blonde didn't recognize him, Izaya decided that maybe he should just let it go. Still-
"I can't believe you don't remember..."
His voice was like a whisper. He was talking to himself, something he always did when he needed to think aloud.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"It's nothing. I just expected too much from you, that's all..."
"What? I don't know what you're taking about flea!"
"Already giving me a nickname eh? Well then, I guess I'll call you Shizu-chan~"
"Don't call me that!"
"It obviously irritates you, so I think that's what I'll call you from now on~ Kay Shizu-chan~"
"I told you not on all me that!"
Shizuo charged towards the grinning male, annoyed by his teasing. But missed him as the brunet dodged the unexpected attack.
"You could've kill me!"
"That's what I was trying to do!"
(Why? Why does he hate me? I've done nothing wrong! Is this really the person that saved me 10 years ago? He seemed so...calm back then.) Running away from the enraged male, Izaya made it out the front gates before he heard footsteps not far behind him.
"Come back here flea!"
"Get away from me! I haven't done a thing to you!"
"Doesn't matter to me! You're dead!"
(He's insane! Clearly he doesn't remember! What should I do? I'm a dead man if I don't do something!) As they chased each other throughout the neighborhood, Izaya did everything he could to loose the blonde. But every time he managed to get away, he was found again seconds later.
"Shizu-chan! Go away!"
"No way in hell!"
The brunet felt his energy draining as he pushed his limit. He was going to run out of gas soon and then he would be dead. His first day at Raira and it would be his last. Finally out of breath, Izaya slowed to a stop and the blonde soon caught up with him.
"I'm done... I can't run anymore..."
"It's about time."
Grabbing the smaller male by his collar, Shizuo lifted him up in the air and held him there.
"It's sad...I've searched for you all my life, and now that I've found you, you intend to kill me... How ironic, since you were the one who saved my life that day..."
"What the hell are you talking about? I never met you in my entire life!"
"But that's where you are wrong... You're wrong Shizuo..."
The lack of oxygen to his brain caused the brunet to pass out in the blonde's grip. Startled by the fainting male, Shizuo sets him down and leans in near his chest. After confirming that the smaller male was still alive, he lifted him up bridal style and walked back to the school. (Man... Why did he have to go and pass out on me? Annoying flea... Why do I hate him so much? It's not like me... What is it with him that causes me the urge to kill?) He looked down at the unconscious brunet as he walked on. He couldn't figure him out. Especially the part where he kept saying that he didn't "remember" him. He was sure that he'd never met this strange teen in his life, but then again, he was never too sure of himself. Just meters away from Raira, Shizuo suddenly received the feeling that his high school year was going to become a living hell.
"I hate you."
