Chapter 11

Three Weeks later...

Mairu looked at herself in the tall mirror and spun,letting her dress swirl around her. She laughed lightly and turned to her sister who had been sitting listlessly. "What do you think?" She beamed to her.

Kururi shrugged, not sure what her sister wanted her to say. She looked her up and down before saying; "You look nice."

Mairu grinned, content with her answer and spun again. "I can't wait. Only a few days away." Kururi smiled, she was truly happy for her sister, but she couldn't let herself accept that it was Shizuo Mairu was going to marry. It wasn't right - and not completely because she knew how Izaya felt either - she knew Shizuo and Mairu couldn't be happy for too long.

She looked up at her sister as she adjusted her dress. "Are you sure about this Mairu?" She asked worried.

Mairu turned around to face her sister and raised a brow. "Of course I'm sure, I love Shizuo, and he treats me so well."

Kururi nodded slowly. "Will you be staying in Ikebukuro?"

Mairu looked behind her and shrugged. "I don't really want to, But Shizuo doesn't want to leave."

She nodded again, sitting up. "You should... leave I mean. There's no point in staying in Ikebukuro."

Mairu blinked her eyes and turned to face Kururi. "Why?"

Kururi turned away from her sister, the broken face of her brother etched in her memory.


Shizuo didn't want to be here.

His bachelor party.

He sighed as he stared around the room at the body's dancing and writhing together. None of this was his thing at all. He would have rather stayed at home with Mairu until the wedding but Shinra and Celty had convinced him that he needed to get out before the wedding, so he reluctantly complied.

He sat at the table, across from his friends, absolutely bored out his mind.

The Dullahan across the table began tying away at her PDA before the device was shoved in his face. [What's wrong?] it said, and Shizuo smiled at his friend's concern.

Shizuo shrugged. "Just not in the mood for all of this."

Celty nodded understandingly.

Of course he wasn't in the mood. The guilt of what he had done with Izaya still ate away at him. He had betrayed Mairu, and he couldn't figure out why he had done it. It wasn't like him to do that to someone. Especially with Izaya.

It didn't seem right.

He felt disgusted with what had happened, when he thought about what he did, the familiar sting in his heart would return.

"Do you want to head home early Shizuo?" Shizuo looked up to his boss Tom staring down at him. "You don't seem too good."

Shizuo shrugged, smiling up at his friends. "I really should get back to Mairu."

They all nodded. Any other day they would have forced Shizuo to stay but there seemed to be something wrong with him in the last couple of days, so they decided it wouldn't be the best thing.

Shizuo stood up from his seat and turned to his friends. "There's no point in ruining it for everyone. You guys have fun." He called over his shoulder as he left the bar.

He lit a cigarette and shoved his hands in his pocket as he made his way home.

He didn't like the feeling he had when he thought about Izaya. The crippling pain. He sighed, looking up to the sky, Izaya's crimson eyes filling his vision. He frowned deciding the worst part of it was, he wasn't sure if he was hurt over his betrayal of Mairu, or Izaya.


Two days later...

"Izaya, are you sure you don't want me to stay with you?"

Izaya looked up at his sister and shook his head. "Just go, I'm fine."

The informant looked out towards his city, feeling nothing. Not laughter, or joy, or sadness, or anger.

Just.

Nothing.

The sun peaked over the horizon, it would be morning soon. The entire population of Ikebukuro would be up and moving soon. Most off to work, some, off to a beautiful wedding of his sister and his brute.

He looked at his sister, dressed in her light purple bride's maid dress. He smiled at her with half lidded eyes and leaned back in his chair. "Have fun Kururi," he reminded her, feeling a sickening feeling in his stomach.

"Izaya..." Kururi walked over to her brother and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him close and nearly jumped as she felt him return the affection. She smiled, pulling away and kissing the top of his head. "Namie's driving me to the wedding. Will you be okay here by yourself for a little while?"

Izaya rolled his eyes. "I'm not a child Kururi."

Kururi nodded as she left her brother, hurt, and confused.

Izaya hated Shizuo, he decided. He wanted nothing to do with him or Mairu or their life together. He would leave Ikebukuro if he had to. He reminded himself, leaning his head down on the desk.

"Shizu-chan.." He all but whimpered. "Why are you doing this?"

He closed his eyes tight, refusing to cry for the neanderthal anymore than he already had. The worst part of it was, he would give anything to see him again.


A.N~ Review please~ I'll upload hopefully tommorrow. If I don't then sorry. But I'm sure the story will be done this week.
