In another part of the island Shizuo was leading an always silent Kasuka through the bushes and other various obstacles they found in their path.

If you had the nerves to ask him where he thought he was going you would receive no answer, only a groan in which anger would linger.

Heiwajima Shizuo had no idea about where he was going.

He just wanted to escape this island and go back to his beloved Ikebukuro, or anywhere else for that matter. Anywhere else without these crazy scientists and these crazy people who apparently enjoyed to kill each other.

He had lost Shinra for a while now and didn't want to think about what could have happened to him. As far as he was concerned Shinra was enough of a grown up to take care of himself, or so he wanted to convince himself.

He had no time to think about it, he had no time to think about Kadota and his friends either, he just hoped they were ok and that they would find a way to get out of this island.

Shizuo tried to ask his little brother if he had an idea about how they could get out of this isle, he knew full well that he was being the smartest of them both and so he was disappointed when the answer came

"No idea"

The one who was once a debt collector sighed, for a second he almost wished he had Izaya around, that smartass bastard would surely have an idea to exit this atrocious heaven.

He shook his head and quickly made this idea disappear, no he would never rely on Izaya for anything.

Soon enough they were blocked by a pile of leaves and branches and a lot of things Shizuo couldn't quite distinguish, he stopped and resolved to carry Kasuka in his arms, whispering to him that he had nothing to worry about, that he would protect him whatever happens. He nodded and Shizuo jumped above the heap.

Behind them an appreciative whistle rang out. Slon couldn't stop himself from talking again, after he was told countless time to just shut up by his companion.

"He sure he's strong, you sure you want to try beating him up again?"

"I'm sure as would be the eagle swooping down on his prey"

She paused before adding "And now could you please close your mouth"

Slon nodded but still muttered "It's not like he could hear us anyway, you've seen where he went? How are we supposed to follow him in the sky?"

Luckily, Vorona had a few interesting items in her bag.

She rummaged through her pack, picking up a grenade and pridefully showing it around to nobody in particular, a wide smile on her face.

"With that, we can follow anyone anywhere"
