Chapter 4-

Shizuo x Izaya

Izaya's POV-

Last time~

"Tell me why! Give me one good reason why!"

"God damn it I said leave it alone already Izaya!"

"Why!"

"Because he's my childhood friend and I ruined his life! There happy? I tried to forget about it… but…"

"How on earth did you ruin his life? Aren't you over exaggerating just a bit Shizu-"

"I killed his family. So don't try telling me….. that I'm over exaggerating…."

"What do you mean?..." I asked with a worried look as he took out a cigarette and lighter from the pocket of his pants that lay crumpled on the floor.

"I mean I ruined his life. What's there not to get…?" he mumbled and lit the cigarette, taking a large puff from it before exhaling a small cloud of smoke.

"I grew up with him…Kasuka and I would play outside with him when we were kids and I hung around him all the way until high school, because we ended up at different schools," he explained briefly and then continued.

"After three years of not speaking with him, I got a job working for Tom and that was when I finally got to see him again, but it wasn't the 'classic' best-friend meet up ad you might guess…His father was in some serious debt for a lot of things and I heard he was even in debt for Yokozawa. His wife, sister, and Ichiro lived with him….So when we knocked on his door Ichiro was the one to answer it and we got re-acquainted a little as Tom questioned his wife. She started flipping out and went rambling on and on about how it's our fault her husband was acting crazy. She looked like she was on the brink of insanity too. She ran screaming into the kitchen for her husband as he ran down the stairs, looking at us in fear…."

"No! I don't have money for you! Get out!" he yelled and his wife came back into the living room with a knife.

"I won't let you mess up this family anymore than you already have!" she yelled and went after Tom. I got in the way and grabbed the knife, taking it away from her, but she struggled so much that she fell and went after the knife again.

"Drop it, or else I'll have to-" I was cut off by a loud BANG and realized it was a gun shot. I looked around until my eyes landed Ichiro's sister…She had been shot in the head by her father. Ichiro was just standing there with an expression full of pure fear.

"D-Dad?...Wh-What are you doing!" he yelled and ran over to his already dead sister.

"If we're going to die because of debts and the Yokozawa, where going to die together!" he shouted, aiming the gun at Ichiro. His eyes widened as his father was brutally punched into a wall by me. It was horrible; I still remember hearing his bones crack under the pressure. I just couldn't control myself…..I couldn't stand to see my best friend get killed right in of me and just watch. I remember his wife screaming and running over to him, putting her head to his chest.

"Y-You….You killed him! W-What are you?" she screamed in terror and I backed up a little.

"I-I…" My strength had done it again. I used it, only to have it hurt someone…

"I-I can't let you-" she ran at me again with the knife again and I dodged her, grabbing her as I put her in a choke hold.

I….didn't even mean to use my strength this time…but I heard a faint snap and her body went limp. My eyes widened and I dropped her, shocked that I had killed yet another human being …..Ichiru was the only one left in the house and he looked shocked to the bone.

"H-How could this happen?..." he mumbled and then looked up at Tom and I. "Th-this wouldn't have happened…If you guys didn't come here just to collect money….My parents and sister wouldn't have died..I would've still had a family….." he breathed. "Get out! NEVER COME BACK!" he yelled as he stood up, tears streaming down his face. We both looked at each other hesitantly before leaving and we never spoke of it again…"

"But….I guess that's changed now, huh?..." I looked at his pained expression and put my hand on his knee.

"Sh-Shizu-chan…I-It wasn't your faul-"

"No…It was. Ichiro was right….If we didn't come to collect his father's debt, then they wouldn't have done such drastic things. He would still have a family…Plus I KILLED his parents….."

"But Shizuo! That wasn't your fault! You couldn't control your strength!" he looked down and took another long drag of his cigarette, putting his head in hands.

"Heh….I guess that just makes me even more of a monster…Right?" he said sadly.

I can't take this!

"Shizuo Heiwajima! You listen, and you listen good you big dope! You CAN NOT blame yourself for this! It's not your fault! It's his parents fault! His father shot his own daughter, then he came at you and you defended yourself, same with his wife! If you think I'm going to let you mope around about this thing all by yourself, you're wrong! I refuse to let you go through this by yourself…So….I'm helping you whether you like it or not." I stated loud and clear and Shizuo blinked eyes wide.

"I-Izaya…" he suddenly embraced me in a tight hug, hanging his head over my shoulder.

"Uhhhh Shizu-chan..?...W-Whats wrong now?..." I said in worry, but he only hugged tighter.

"Thank you…Izaya…" he mumbled and I blushed slightly, trying to think of what to say.

"Y-yeah…F-for what exactly though…?" I stuttered as he only held me closer to him.

"You made feel not so guilty like before…Thank you…." If he hugged me any tighter I was sure I was going to break in half.

"O-Okay okay Shizu-chan… I get it, y-your happy… B-But could you let go now? I can't breathe…" I huffed and he released me, nodding his head.

"Sorry… It's just I've felt like this ever since it happened and this is the only time I haven't felt so guilty about it…"

"I know…. But now that your with me everything will be fine~" I said and hugged him with a smile.

"Hey so… how about a snack? Or Dinner? Since you know… we kind of skipped it." he laughed and I nodded, getting up and pulling on some underwear and pants.

"Off to the Kitchen we go~ hehe~" I smiled and that night we had BBQ chicken with a few sides. Shizuo of coarse had to have two frickin' glasses of milk but I guess that's Shizu-chan for you.

A couple of weeks later Ichiro ended up getting caught for stealing computer data and the murders of his henchmen… even though Shizuo killed them we decided he didn't need to own up for that. Even if the police had solid evidence against Shizuo, they couldn't use it because he has a sort of 'immunity' when it comes to the law. His abnormal strength actually come in handy in this area so all he needs to say is, 'I can't control it, please forgive me?' and they let it slide, also because they can get messed up too if they piss Shizuo off so they just leave it alone.

But… I can't help but wonder why Shizu-chan has been avoiding me. We've been together for a while now so it shouldn't be anything with our relationship but… What if it is?... What if I did something wrong? No… it can't be… Right?

He's been avoiding me for 3 weeks now. Every time I try to get together with him he says he has to work. Every time I text him he doesn't respond. Every time I see him walking on the sidewalk or crossing the street he goes the other way. What the hell is going on?

I got onto my computer and searched through any information on him, anything that might be new. Credit card purchases, where he's been, medical history- ah… There it is. He's been paying Shinra frequent visits for the past 3 weeks… almost every day. I rested my chin on my desk and sighed deeply.

What the fuck is going on Shizuo? Why are you avoiding me? For what crazy reason are you seeing that stupid doctor for anyway?

I slumped down and spun around in my spinney chair, thinking things over before stopping abruptly and smirking. Time to go visit the loopy underground doctor and his sidekick- or rather- leader, Celty.

I grabbed my comfy fur jacket and headed out the door, always making sure to check my pockets for my switch blade and locking the door behind me; better safe than sorry. I walked from my house down to Ikebukuro, hoping to see Shizu-chan but failing. Arriving at Shinra's door, hoping to get some answers I knocked a few times and waited….and waited…..and waited.

I was about to pick the lock because I really didn't have the patience for this before Shinra answered the door out of breath with a surprised look on his face, like I could be the worst person to see right now. I squinted at him as he invited me in, taking a seat on his couch and looking at him intently.

"H-Hey Izaya, what brings you he-"

"Where's Shizu-chan?" I asked and he got a surprised yet readable look on his face and I answered for him again.

"There is a smell of cigarette smoke in here and I know you and Celty don't smoke those cancer sticks but Shizu-chan does. So…. Care to tell me why he's been visiting you so frequently?..." I said with a smirk and he was about to say something back to defend his friend but sighed and admitted defeat.

"I can't tell you why but there's a good reason he's been avoiding you Izaya. So just leave it alone." He waved his finger but I only smirked.

"Now… What kind of information broker would I be if I just left things alone?" I said innocently and he scowled at me.

"I'm not giving you any information on another client so you can just beat it if that's what you want." He said firmly and crossed his arms.

"Well are you sure about that? You wouldn't want anything to happen to your dear Celty… now would you?" his eyes widened and a dark aura came over him.

"I won't allow you to do anything to my Celty Izaya…"

"Then just tell me about Shizu-chan. I'm getting really irritated…" I really was at my breaking point and Shinra knew it. I haven't slept in about 3 days and I haven't eaten in 4. Walking over here produced a major headache and I did not want to spend any more time over here than I needed to. Shinra sighed and looked me over.

"This is really getting to you huh?... Surprising even for the great Izaya Orihara!~ he laughed and I looked away, too tired to snap back at him.

"Well… I know you won't let me help you so…. I guess it couldn't hurt…" he walked up to me and leaned down, whispering in my ear about the new mystery about Shizuo. At first I was a bit taken back. But then I just laughed. And laughed. And laughed.

"Hahahahahahahaha theres no way! It's a mistake right? Hahaha~" I laughed more and clutched my sides, making Shinra look very displeased and stepping away.

"I'm serious Izaya. It's no laughing matter… and if you tell anyone about this I will personally make sure you don't get any with it." he warned and I nodded, still too amused to speak.

"But… I would continue to stay away from him until he comes to you. You don't know what he's thinking right now Izaya…"

"And you do?" I laughed and continued, "But… I won't tell anyone. I promise~" I mused and got up, walking out the door with that same smirk on my face.

Haha, there's no way Shizu-chan has that~

I thought about how Shinra told me not to go see Shizu-chan so, I might as well see him. I mean.. since when do I listen to what I'm told?

I decided I was tired of being avoided and was just going to accept the worst as I walked to visit him at his apartment. As I walked I began so feel dizzy, remembering I hadn't eaten anything… Or slept for a while. I strained my eyes to look around as I realized I was very close to his apartment, about a minute away. I willed my body to go forward and I eventually reached his door, panting and my vision blurring.

I couldn't find the strength to knock on his door so I just slumped against it and drifted off into a dreamless sleep, feeling like I was being carried and then a couple of irritated mumbles found their way to my ears. Before long I opened my eyes slowly, taking in the smells around me and realized I was in Shizu-chan's apartment. I could tell in an instant it was his apartment because of the familiar smell of cigarette smoke lingering around. I got up and went over to the fridge to get something to eat, and to my surprise, saw that his fridge was filled with milk. Typical Shizu-chan and his overkill obsession for milk.

I looked around and noticed he wasn't here, not surprising though…. Heh… He's probably just waiting for me to leave. I wobbled and nearly toppled over as I lost my footing and hit my head on the cupboard, instantly feeling a small trail of blood trickle down my temple.

"Itaaaaiiii…." I whined and furrowed my brow. I held my head walking more carefully over to the closet where my jacket might be. Bingo. I grabbed it and slowly made my way over to the door, still holding my head.

Fuck this hurts… I think it's either pretty deep or I need stitches. I thought unhappily and grabbed the door knob only to have the door open suddenly in my face and see Shizu-chan standing there with a surprised look. The sudden force sent me toppling over on my ass and grumbling more, thinking bitterly about having to head over to Shinra's again.

"I-Izaya…" he questioned as I looked up at him, now holding my head with one hand and my ass with the other to try to soothe the pain.

"Uh… Hey Shizu-chan~ Don't mind me I was just-"

"What the hell do you think you doing? And what did you do to your head you idiot!" he yelled and my smile faded, replacing it with a startled frown as he picked me up and set me on the couch.

"Eh?... But I thought you-"

"Just shut up and let me see."

I sighed in irritation that he kept cutting me off but removed my hand and felt more blood trickle down.

"Haha you see… I was about to leave your kitchen when I stumbled suddenly and hit my head on the cupboard corner. It hurts~ Kiss it better Shizu-chan~" I whined and suddenly felt a warm yet cool feeling on my forehead. I looked up as Shizuo kissed it gently, sending a strange sensation through me, making me shiver.

"U-Uh… Shizu-chan I was kidding… You don't really have to-" I was cut off by Shizuo pulling away from my forehead and kissing me gently on the lips.

"You really are a pain in the ass, you know that flea?" Shizuo said pulling away from me yet again to walk off into another room.

My cheeks turned a light pink. "W-Well you aren't exactly a walk in the park either, you brute!" I blurted out, hating how pathetic I sounded.

Shizuo walked back into the room with a small-sized medicine kit. He grunted and sat next to me. "Shut up before I change my mind." he said cleaning my wound.

"Ow! Damn it Shizuo that hurts! Can't you be more gentle?" I whined.

Shizuo seemed to think that was funny. "Sorry, can't help it. I'm a brute remember?"

I gritted my teeth as I realized he had got me there. Tch…Smartass… "Just hurry up, will you?"

Shizuo was almost done bandaging me up when I remembered what Shinra said. "Shizuo….Why have you been avoiding me?" I asked, finally turning serious.

Shizuo looked up. "What? I'm not allowed to have my alone time?"

"You expect me to believe you haven't talked to me in three weeks because you wanted some alone time?'"

"There. You can go home now." Shizuo stated, putting down the small medicine kit and ignoring my comment.

I'm officially pissed! I mean who the HELL does he think he is?

"So it IS true~" I teased.

Shizuo paled. "Unless what's true?" He growled.

"Shinra told me something very fascinating earlier…What was it..? Something about you having hyp-" Shizuo lunged at me.

"Say one more fucking word flea, and it'll be your last!" He yelled infuriated.

I smirked, "Oh yes! Now I remember! Hyper sexuality!~"

"Your fucking dead!" He growled, throwing a coffee maker at me.

"So it's true!~ Shizu-chan's just been horny!~" I teased letting the coffee maker fly past me and hit the wall, shattering into pieces. He growled again and walked up to me while blushing terribly.

"Shut u-up you asshole! I don't need you teasing me about this! It's not funny…" He mumbled as his anger began to slip away. I looked him up and down and sighed, taking his hand and leading him to the bedroom. I pushed him on the bed and straddled his waist while smirking.

"Let's have sex Shizu-chan~ I'll do all the work so just sit back and watch, ne?~" I mumbled into his neck and licked the sensitive flesh, earning a small moan in approval as he put his hands around my waist. He pressed my body against his and I blushed with wide eyes as I noticed he was already hard.

"W-Wow Shizu-chan…. I-I didn't think you'd give in so easily~" I said, trying to regain my composure and went back to working him over even more. I rose my arms up and pulled my shirt off, leaving my exposed chest out in the open and he took his chance, pulling me down and sucking on my hard nub while using his hand to play with the other.

"Wai- Sh-Shizu-chan…." I mumbled and let out a small moan. He flipped our positions and sat on top of me, pulling off his shirt as well.

"You started this Izaya, and I'm going to finish it weather you like it or not." Shizuo growled into my ear, letting his hands slip lower.

"Ahh! S-Shizu-c-chan I change my mind!" I stuttered, trying my best to push the protozoan off of me.

Shizuo smirked. "Your mine now Izaya." He purred, pulling my hands up and over my head. I heard him fumbling with his belt buckle as he tied my hands to the bed post with his belt.

"Nuhh….s-stop….." I whimpered, losing all my strength.

"Why? You look like you're enjoying this, flea." He teased, pulling off my pants and tossing it off the bed and to the side.

I inhaled sharply as Shizuo slid his hands into my boxers, gently stroking my erection. "Shizu-o p-please….I..Nahh!" I moaned helplessly, bucking my hips into Shizuo's hand. He pulled my boxers off slowly and tossed them to the floor along with my pants, taking care not to release his grip on my manhood.

He leaned down and licked my throbbing member causing me to arch my back, begging Shizuo to hurry up. "Tch..I don't think so…..I'm going to take my time with this..." He growled, pushing me back down with his right hand while barely stroking me with his left.

"H-hurry Shizuo…..I-I have work to do-AHH!" I lied and moaned as Shizuo suddenly put all of me in his mouth, his tongue teasing my slit.

"Beg for it Izaya." He growled, biting lightly into my flesh.

"A-Ahh… N-No-" I gasped as he sucked roughly on my member, already drawing out some pre-cum.

"I'd be careful if I were you, wouldn't wanna piss me off would you?" He growled, taking me out of his mouth just to lick the underside of my manhood.

"G-Gah! S-Shizuo-nuhh…" I felt a slippery finger move into my entrance and abuse my small hole over and over again. "A-Ahh S-Shizu-chan…it h-hurts!~" I teased even though I knew it would only make things worse.

Sorry guys XDDDD I didn't want to end it at a good part but I have some news…. Next chapter will be the end of it! I'm starting a different story that involves Shizaya and I don't really feel like writing two stories at once with the same characters :/ haha sorry! But I will sum things up in the next chapter and then it will be the end!
