Mayumi could not kill Izaya Orihara. How could she have ever even thought about that? He was a smart man, a stronger individual, and she was just frail and naïve Mayumi who killed her parents. "You wanted to see me, Yumi-chan?" She nodded and said, "Come with me." Izaya smirked before saying, "Where to?" Mayumi immediately replied, "Bunkyo." Izaya cocked his eyebrow. Bunkyo wasn't too far off from Ikebukuro. They got into the train and Izaya watched her for any signs, and the fact that he couldn't tell what she was up to made his insides shudder with anticipation.

Shizuo Heiwajima was angry, and none could approach him. He sat on his bed, the letter in his hands, him not seeing any other reason for Mayumi to leave him other than the one reason that told him that she didn't love him like she said. He felt used, and he never felt anger toward a woman enough to hurt her, but even at that moment, he didn't hate Mayumi. He was angry thinking, maybe he wasn't enough for her. Maybe it was he who scared her away. Because, he was a demon after all. Suddenly, his phone started to ring, the number unknown to him, but he answered anyway. He needed to take a break and take his mind off things, and as soon as he said 'Hello', it seemed like he was talking to an ally. Kyohei Kadota.

For usual situations, Kyohei never wanted to interfere between people's love lives. Especially a man as scary as Shizuo. But, Kyohei knew Shizuo was a good human being, and he knew at the same time that Izaya wasn't to be trusted. He had to tell Shizuo about what he saw, and about the time he bumped into Mayumi as well. Izaya had to be the reason she left and Izaya had to be the reason for his confusion. When is Izaya not the reason for anything that occurs in Ikebukuro?

"Shizuo? It's about Mayumi. I think she's being black-""Listen, I don't care anymore-""No, you do, Shizuo listen, Izaya's got-"This caught his attention. Shizuo stood up, his eyes angry, and his palms feeling the need to be clenched but he needed to hear the rest of this conversation. "Speak." He spat and Kyohei smiled slightly. "A few weeks ago, I bumped into Mayumi and I saw Izaya's text message in her phone by accident. I don't know what it said, but she panicked and picked up her phone before I could see anything. And just today, a few minutes ago, I saw Izaya and Mayumi get into a train." Shizuo was angry. He was beyond angry. Not at Mayumi, he just didn't know anymore. He felt so angry he didn't know what his name was anymore. He was consumed with a feeling to destroy and he was consumed with hate, and ire and the distasteful feelings that could make a person a demon. That can make a person do the things he would most regret at a later stage in his life.

"Where did they go?" Kyohei felt lucky he heard Mayumi when she said Bunkyo. And the phone went dead right after he said it. Right then, he didn't know whether he did a good thing. Sending Shizuo after Izaya. He already hated the man, but now since Izaya had Mayumi with him, triggering Shizuo to hate him even more, Shizuo could turn into a killer. And all Kyohei could hope for was simply this. "Mayumi, I leave it to you."

"What's so special in Bunkyo?" Izaya asked watching the girl beside him. She looked so much like him, Izaya would have believed she was his sister if someone told him so. But, he felt happiness when with her, a strange feeling which asked him never to return to Ikebukuro but be with this woman all his life, and leave behind his informant job- Izaya's eyes widened and he chuckled. "Human beings are so fascinating." Mayumi frowned slightly. "There's a place in Bunkyo that I want to see. I'm sure you've heard of it. The Yanaka Cemetery." Izaya had heard of it before, but now wasn't the time to visit such a place. It wasn't around April when the Sakura Blossoms bloomed, so it would look just like an antique cemetery. "Have you heard of Yanaka Five-Storied Pagoda Double-Suicide Arson Case?" Izaya's blood ran cold.

He believed he wouldn't ever feel afraid because of another person, but the way Mayumi said what she did, gave him the creeps. It felt sadistic, and as much as Izaya loved human beings and inflicting pain to them, he had never personally taken a life. But, the girl beside him, as naïve and timid as she was, had taken the lives of her own parents, and watched them burn in front of her. Somehow, the thought came shooting into his head, and he knew right then, that the act of her parents' deaths was deliberate.

"It's a very tragic case. A dressmaker in her twenties working in a sewing shop in Tokyo, and a middle-aged married lover had gone missing one day. They knew that the love they shared was adulterous, and they wanted to burn themselves to atone for it. It is very ironic though. I mean, they took away another life with theirs. I'm sure the man's wife would have loved the man." Izaya frowned.

"Shizu-chan loves you but you left him-""For you. Didn't I? How very similar. And you know how much I can relate to burning things down." Izaya chuckled. "You aren't scaring me Mayumi-chan-""I wasn't trying to." Izaya let out a breath casually, not at all amused and said, "What are we going to do there?" Mayumi closed her eyes and smiled slightly. "You'll see." And Izaya was sure he would.

Shizuo sprinted to the station and left as fast as he could. It was around evening, and he knew it would be dark soon. He was in a state where nothing could make sense to him anymore. The anger had reached a point that could not be managed anymore, and it was dangerous to cross a man's path who was this red. Shizuo Heiwajima had in fact turned into a demon that evening, and it was all because of another man, another different type of demon, who used emotional trauma instead of physical. The two souls being so different, yet, never failing to be the reason for each other's downfall. The railing had been dented due to Shizuo's force on them, and he waited, without knowing how to anymore. Mayumi was not on his mind anymore, and she wouldn't be for a longer while.

They had reached Bunkyo, but Izaya couldn't help but keep wondering what Mayumi was planning. The fact of the matter was, Mayumi had no idea what she was doing. Something told her Shizuo would come, but her mind told her it wasn't possible. She felt close to Shizuo, but it wasn't possible. 'I don't know what I'm doing, but, all I know is that if I die tonight, then I'm taking this man with me.' Mayumi thought to herself as she walked beside Izaya in the cemetery. She waited. She waited for the right moment. She didn't even know what she was waiting for. And then she asked him. "What did you want from me Izaya?" Izaya answered back truthfully, not seeing a reason to hide it anymore.

Even if she does go back to Shizuo, he wouldn't take her in. She had left him, and all for Izaya, and that would make Shizuo hate her, and that was what he needed. For seeing Shizuo happy with the woman that confused him, took out all the fun from Izaya's usual life. In a way, he was jealous of Shizuo, for having someone who loved him for being the demon that he was. Izaya was a demon, every human was one in more ways than one, and every human had someone that loved them. But, Izaya didn't. And the one human that loved Izaya's enemy, made Izaya want someone who loved him as well.

The lack of an answer made Mayumi turn to look at Izaya's confused face. "Izaya…" His face held confusion, and distress. "Would you be shocked if I told you I don't know?" Mayumi understood now. "You love humans. You keep saying that. All the time." It came to her, the answers that she needed. She didn't feel angry anymore. She felt pity. Empathy. "Izaya…you don't have anyone to love you." She told him, and Izaya chuckled. He laughed menacingly, masking his pain, and he said, "You think I want that? I can't love a single human-""But you would want one to love you right?" Izaya frowned. "Being around Shizu-chan so much, you piss me off too." Mayumi knew it. She understood the male now.

"Izaya…I am so sorry. Sorry." She said, and reached out to touch the male when he grabbed her hand. "I don't want your pity, I am not hurt-"She hugged him. Izaya's eyes widened. This wasn't what he had planned. "Izaya…you just want someone to love you."

Before he could put his hands around her, he heard someone yell. "Izzzaaaayaaa!" Izaya smirked and pulled Mayumi to his chest, turned her around, and placed a knife under her chin. Izaya masked everything. He didn't need it anymore. He had everything he wanted. Everything.

But nothing what he needed.
