A.N~ Thank you to everyone who reviewed, your kind words helped me write this next chapter. I hope you all like it.

Realized after I posted this that I use Izaya's name WAY too much, so I'll change it when i get back from school

Chapter 2

Izaya sighed heavily as he spun thoughtlessly in his chair. He knew he had a lot of work to catch up on, but he couldn't find the concentration to finish any of it. He knew he would be sorry tomorrow when he had to work twice as hard due to his slacking today, but he figured he earned a break.

He turned his chair to stare out the large window behind him and suddenly regreted sending Namie home. He could use the company now - not that her sour mood ever made him feel much better, but even her stoic face was a lot better than being a lone now.

He leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling. It was beginning to get dark outside, and he would be leaving to meet Shizuo and Mairu soon.

Izaya sighed again. He didn't want to go. Not if Mairu was there too, not if Shizuo loved her. He wasn't sure how long he could keep his uncaring mask on while his sister clung to his Shizu-chan.

Mairu had always had everything. She was beautiful, smart, everyone loved her. It was cruel fate that she would be the one to finally steal the brutes heart. It wasnt fair.

Izaya couldn't help but smile as he remembered the first time he met Shizu-chan after their meeting at the park.

Izaya was more than intrigued by the - now - blonde teen when he discovered Shizuo's inhuman strength. Of course he had to test him. He wanted to know everything about the boy who had saved his life. He wanted to know what made him tick, what he loved, what he hated. He needed to know.

Though his hair was shorter that when they first met, he hadn't expected Shizuo to forget him so fast.

When Shizuo had attacked him, he had been hurt and angry. Of course he should have suspected that once Shizu-chan discovered his experiments to test Shizuo's strength, he would have been mad. But he definitely didn't expect the feud that had started because of it.

But then again, Shizuo was the only unpredictable thing about Ikebukuro.

Izaya skipped all the way to Shizuo's apartment, furrowing his brow as he reached the main lobby.

It never failed to amaze him when he found himself at Shizuo's apartment. But then a debt collector's body guard must not pay too well.

Izaya stuffed his hands in his pockets after ringing the buzzer. A few rings passed before a deep voice came on. "Who's this?"

Izaya rolled his eyes. "Is that how you answer your phone Shizu-chan? So uncivilized."

"Shut up Flea." He snapped.

The sound of Mairu's scolding was heard in the back ground before Shizuo said; "Just come up."

The informant grinned widely. "Does Mairu have Shizu-chan trained already?"

Izaya heard something that sounded like something breaking before Mairu's voice came on. "Hurry up Onii-chan."

He quickly skipped up the stairs to the second floor - he found no point in using the elevator to walk up two floors.

He made his way to Shizuo's door and knocked. "Shizu-chan~"

Shizuo ripped opened the door and motioned for him to come in.

Izaya furrowed his brow as he looked around Shizuo's small apartment. "Is this what my baby sister has been degraded to?" He turned to Mairu and frowned. "I expected you would have better taste imouto."

Shizuo gritted his teeth, but didn't say anything in fear of disappointing his soon-to-be-wife.

Mairu frowned as she hugged Izaya tightly, not expecting a hug in return. She pulled away, being proved right. "I want you there Onii-chan."

Izaya raised a brow. "I doubt the brute would want me anywhere near your wedding."

"This isn't about him Izaya." She said, linking her arm with Shizuo - of course this didn't make Izaya want to come to the wedding anymore than before. "I want you to be there."

Izaya rolled his eyes. "If this is all you wanted, then you just wasted my time." He said plainly, turning away from the two. He didn't want to see them together anymore.

He turned, leaving the apartment, hearing Mairu's sobs behind him. He wasn't fazed of course. He knew how much of a drama queen his sister could be.

"Hey Flea!"

Izaya turned as he reached the door to the stairs to see Shizuo running over to him. "What do you want Shizu-chan?"

Shizuo narrowed his eyes at the nickname but didn't say anything about it, stuffing his hands in his pocket. "Mairu is upset that you're not going."

"Eh? I thought you would be happy that I'm not Shizu-chan." Izaya said truthfully.

"Keh, I am. Mairu doesn't want to have the wedding without you there."

"Hm, if you want me to go, you better think of a better excuse. Because now not going seems a lot more tempting."

Shizuo sighed, growing angrier the more he talked to the flea.

"Hm, well what's in it for me if I go?" He grinned deviously. He could tell by the way Shizuo growled that his face showed none of the pain that was tearing his heart apart.

He shrugged. "You could observe the wedding, or whatever the hell a Flea does with their spare time."

Izaya thought for a second. As painful as it was, it might be the only time he would ever be invited to a wedding. It could be a once in a life time moment to observe his humans like that. It was extremely tempting. "I'll think about it." He said finally, almost blushing at the dumb smile that appeared on Shizuo's face. "On...one condition." He said suddenly.

Shizuo raised a brow. 'Of course there was a catch, there was always a catch with the stupid flea,' he thought bitterly. "What?" He growled.

"Meet me at the Russia Sushi restraunt at 7 tomorrow. Got it?" He said, with his head downcast.

"What is this? A trap or something? Are you gonna poison me or something?" Shizuo narrowed his eyes on the informant, not trusting him for a second.

"No," he started. "It's a date."

A.N ~ :O Poor Izaya. Anyways review please. I'll have the next chapter up soon. Hopefully by tomorrow.
