Rivalry and Fatherhood

Chapter 6

Gaelic/irish/english will be in underlined, Celty's speech is in bold, thoughts will be in italics.

"So what happened?" Celtion asked.

"Of what?" Shizuno asked.

"At Tori's house."

*Day earlier*

"You came all this way to give me my stuff back?" Victoria smiled. "How sweet Shizu-chan."

Shizuno continuously blushed from being called "Shizu-chan" due to the fact he's heard Izaya say it to his dad.

"You wanna come in?" Tori asked.

"A-ah...Okay..." Shizuno said cautiously.

He walked through the door way in to the (surprisingly) large apartment. Even though it had tatami mats, there was quite a bit of english things, most likely for Tori.

"You want some tea? I was about to put some on."

"S-sure." he mumbled.

"Go on and sit down." Tori said pointing to the couch.

Shizuno walked over and sat down.

W-why do I feel so awkward? He thought nervously.

"So why did you come out all this way?" Tori asked him.

He shrugged. He looked at Tori, finally being able to really see what she was wearing.

She was wearing everyday clothes, short-snug black shorts, a tight black top that had a VERY low neckline, and it gave her a very curvy figure.

"Did you come out all this way just to see me?" she whispered, leaning closer to him.

She put her arms on either side of him, and her face close to his. Both of them were only a few centimeters apart from each other.

Shizuno realizing this, started to blush a very pretty shade of red.

Don't look down, don't look down. he thought wildly.

Yeah...he looked down.

Tori didn't seem to pay heed that Shizuno was looking at her chest, actually, she was enjoying herself teasing him.

"Enjoying the view?" she said flirtatiously.

Shizuno looked away. Not wanting to answer that question.

"Go ahead, you can answer that question. I won't get offended." Tori said, inching closer.

"M-maybe." he muttered.

Shizuno was now officially wondering how he got in this position. He was starting to feel hot all over.

Tori was getting a rise out of this, she was having so much fun.

How innocent he is! she laughed inside.

Then she leaned even closer to him and licked him.

Shizuno yelped in surprise.

"W-w-w-why d-d-d-did you do that?!" he said nervously.

Tori looked at him for a few moments, then burst into laughter.

"Omg Shizu-chan! You're so funny! So innocent!" she laughed and backed up slightly. "Are you seriously turned on by this?"

Shizuno growled in enbaressment and looked away from the girly looking Izaya.

Like father like daughter. he thought.

Tori got up when the kettle started to whistle. Leaving a very embaressed Shizuno behind her.

Shizuno sat, frozen, trying to calm his heart.

Tori smiled. She was definitely going to enjoy herself with him.

She poured the tea into two cups, and walked over with them back to the couch.

"Here." Tori said, handing him his drink. A few curls falling over her shoulder.

"Thanks." he smiled. Finally calmed down from a few minutes ago. Tori smiled.

"So...you're a banshee half right?" he asked, hoping to start a conversation without offending her.

"Yeah, I'm a banshee half. Why do you ask?"

"J-just wondering."

Silence seemed to fall. Shizuno was hoping he didn't just bring something up that she didn't like.

"What's it like, being part banshee?" he asked.

Tori's pale face had a pink tint to it.

"I...I've never been asked that before..." she dropped her head down. Her hair fell in front of her eyes, hiding her eyes from Shizuno's vision.

"Can you try and explain it?" he figured out that this was her pressure spot. He now could manipulate her. He smiled at the thought.

Not giving eye contact, and face having more pink to it now, Tori responded.

"I guess it's weird since if someone's going to die, I have the urge to scream. Dullahan's never liked me because I was more social with humans than a normal banshee...Mom always compared me to Dad." she smiled when she mentioned her mom.

"What does your mom look like?" Shizuno pushed, and scooted closer to her.

She looked at him in surprise.

Yes! I have the upper hand now! he thought happily.

"Here...let me go get her picture." she said getting up.

Tori went over to the breu near the tv and took one of the frames from it. She walked back over and held it up to him.

"This is what she looked like."

Shizuno gasped as he looked at the picture.

The woman was a few inches shorter than Izaya, and had a smile on her face. Her hair was long and crimson with a slight curl to it, quite opposite to Tori. She also had pale skin, and her eyes were a deep shade of purple. In both her, and Izaya's arms was a baby with curly black hair.

Victoria got some of her mother's looks, like the beauty, her eye color and her hair. But she seemed so opposite of what he saw in the picture.

"Wow..." he breathed.

"Yeah, she was the best." Tori smiled.

"You sometimes wonder how your dad managed to snag a good find." Shizuno said without thinking, then quickly covered his mouth. "I-"

Tori chuckled.

"Don't worry, sometimes I wonder that to, seeing how he can be at times."

"Did your dad know? that she was a banshee and all?" Shizuno pried.

"Yeah, he found out apparently AFTER I was born." Tori sighed.

Silence overlapped the room once more.

Shizuno scooted closer to her and looked her in the eye.

"How'd they meet?"

Tori was about to say something. Then the front door slammed shut.

"Maeve Victoria! Your dad asked me to make something." a voice came.

"Ah! Hi Namie!" Tori said bouncing up. She turned to Shizuno.

"You wanna stay for dinner Shizu-chan?"

Shizuno shook his head, he had stayed long enough.

"Yeah man, she's really perverted. Takes after Izaya." Shizuno said.

Celtion grunted in response.

"Don't get to friendly with her Shizuno. Banshees can and will break hearts."

"Do you think that happened with Izaya?"

"Maybe, but most likely not. Since her mother had her, a banshee will never leave their lover after they have a child."

Shizuno thought about that.

"But what would happen if one was raped and they had a child?"

"I don't know. I think they get killed. Honestly, banshees aren't very social and normally don't care for humans."

"Huh." Shizuno said, just as the warning bell rang.
