Chapter III
"SHINRA!" Shizuo yelled on the top of his lungs.
"Shizuo! There you are. I was worried whe-"
"Not now. Izaya took poison in my place. Fix him!" he said out of breath. He had run ten miles to get to the underground doctor's place.
Not getting why he was so worried about him, he just complied. Shinra shut the door with the raven inside.
He sat on the couch, catching his breath. Celty walked up.
[Where were you?] she typed.
"Long story short, we were kidnapped"
[What happened?]
"Izaya took the poison from me and drank it so I could get out and go home…"
[Shinra's a good doctor. It'll be alright.]
"I hope you're right, Celty."
Shinra stalked out half and hour later.
"Is he ok?"
"Yeah. That was powerful poison. I gave him antibiotics to fight it. He's just sleeping now."
A sigh of relief.
"I have to go Shizuo. I trust you won't kill him. Let's go Celty." The two left.
Shizuo walked in the room. A bunch of wires with IV's were hooked onto the raven as well as an oxygen mask. Izaya was pale and the thing the bodyguard missed most about the raven was those eyes and that smile…those crimson eyes that stabbed daggers through his heart and that smile that almost comforted the ex-bartender. Shizuo sat by him.
"Baka…why did you do that…?" he asked softly, burying his face with his hands.
"Isn't it…obvious…Shizu-chan?" a weak voice answered. The ex-bartender's face shot up to be met with a weak raven's smile and crimson eyes smiled with them, shining. They were back. The wonderful things…had returned.
"Izaya!" he exclaimed, hugging the raven. "Why…why? I was so worried…"
"Haha…seems like Shizu-chan loves me, too," he said, his face buried in Shizuo's collarbone.
"I guess I do my raven. Promise me you won't ever do that again."
"My raven, huh? I can live with that…and I promise Shizu-chan. I don't intend on getting kidnapped again," he replied.
A chuckle emitted from Shizuo's worried face. He softly petted Izaya on the head.
"I'll protect you damn flea…always."
