Chapter 1: Truths Mistaken as Lies

Heiwajima Shizuo, The monster of Ikebukuro, was walking the streets having eyes flickering and glancing over to him with fear and worry as usual. The people feared him; were scared of him, would flee from him.

Flee...

Flea.

The flea was never afraid of Shizuo. The faux blond was tall and scary to the people, he seemed like the scariest thing they had ever seen- but not the flea. Shizuo seemed deeply in thought that he didn't realize his boss, Tom, was still by his side giving a questionable glare.

"Hey, Shizuo, you alright man? We don't have anymore debts to collect for the day." He said while cocking his head to the side, examining his friend.

"Huh? Oh right, I know. I guess I just zoned out, sorry." Shizuo snapped out of his thoughts to greet Tom's worried glare. "It's alright. Today's work is already done, so I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Tom turned on his heel after waving Shizuo goodbye while he waved back. It was getting pretty late and yet, the blond still looked dazed. The light of sunset filled the sky with it's happy orange sky and puffy clouds, but something didn't feel right... Tom did let him off rather quickly. Then it hit him.

A sickening scent crossed his nostrils, seeming so familiar.

...Izaya.

As soon as he caught onto the scent, he whipped his head around the throngs of people trying to locate where that cursed flea was. Of all the times and places, he had to be here now? Without even thinking, Shizuo dashed off as fast as a cheetah towards the direction of the horrid scent. People rushed out of the way so they wouldn't get blown away by the furious man. Honey eyes darting around looking for the raven that was still no where to be found. The smell was getting stronger and stronger until it felt like he was floating in a pit of the stench.

When he stepped around the the next corner- Honey colored eyes filled with anger laid upon a dark coat with fur-lined ends on a dark haired man.

Anger bubbled from inside him like he was a volcano on the edge of erupting. As soon as he saw an object that could be thrown at the insect, he paced towards it with no hesitation. A trash bin. Shizuo grasped the bin with a death grip now holding it high aiming it for the skipping raven with that smile and laugh as mischievous as a hyena. He hurled it with excruciating force directly at the bouncing figure who didn't turn around fast enough. The raven whipped around just to see a trash bin ram into his side causing him to tumble over with such force.

Still from a distance, the figure started to rise and gaining a stance. No time was wasted as he raced over seeing the flea rising from his fall.

"IIIZZAAAAYYYAAAAAAAAA!"

Izaya had turned around just to see the ex-bartender storming over his way with the usual anger written all over his face. A malicious grin couldn't help but snake its way onto the raven's soft face.

"Why hello to you too, Shizu-chan~!" Izaya chirped with his enthusiasm spilling throughout the air.

"What the hell are you doing back in Ikebukuro?! Didn't I tell you not to come back? And that damn name..." He could feel a vein bulge from the side of his forehead, taking off his blue sunglasses and placing them as neatly as he could into his breast pocket without breaking them from his anger.

"Aw, don't be mad Shizu-chan! I was just taking a walk~" Arms spread wide as if greeting the blond like he was welcomed. The people in the area now knew what was to come, they started making their way out of the area as quickly as they could. Shizuo marched over to the crimson eyed man, steps as hard as an elephant.

"Then you should be taking a walk out of here, right? Hah?!" The smirk that was still on the informant's face never wavered and sickeningly grew with how mad he was making the monster. "But what's the point of taking a walk here if I wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon~?" He shrugged while chuckling under his breathe. With a flash, Shizuo threw a fist towards Izaya, who dodged it swiftly and bounced away.

"You better leave now OR YOU'RE DEAD FLEA!" He stormed after Izaya who was just bouncing and spinning away like some school girl.

"Is that so? Well, catch me if you can, Shizu-chaaan~" Now furious, Shizuo flew into a full pit of rage chasing after the informant.

"DAMN YOU IIZAAYAAAAAA!" He heard Shizuo roar through the clearing as he tried to pick up the pace.

The trash bin that hit him earlier- it actually hurt- but he couldn't worry about that now fot The 'chase' had begun. He would run, Shizuo would track him down, and he would always lose Shizuo. It's how it always went. Turning around more keener, Izaya's eyes found Shizuo now hurling a stop sign towards his direction. With ease he dodged the sign that sliced through the air only to be greeted by another one aiming his way. His side hurt and he couldn't dodge fast like he always did before, he managed to evade the sign, but it slightly grazed his arm making him almost topple over.

With this chance seeing the monster pace to a vending machine, he ran. The blood pumped into his ears with the wind slapping across his face and the small shrieks of people in the area; It really made him feel alive! Turning the corner, Izaya ran to a point he believed the beast wouldn't follow, but on his contrary, the blond did.

'He truly is a monster' his thoughts deliberately ran through his head with the ex-bartender heaving and growling behind him.

Up ahead was completely dark and covered in shadows and seemed to be a dead end, but he quickly noticed the fire escape and climbed onto it. He could still hear Shizuo yelling his name with a growl. Grabbing the rail on the side, Izaya used it as a boost gracefully flipping upon the top only to find Shizuo leaping to the ledge.

His side hurt so much he might as well pass out, but he knew what would come if he did.

"IZAYA!" The man filled with fury roared watching the flea jump to buildings. While he managed to get to the top, he dashed with light speed after the informant who was closer than before.

'He's slower than before. Damn flea should know better! I might actually catch him this time!' The thought raced through his head as he watched the raven get slower. The informant had leaped onto a smaller building that the blond could barely see from over the building's railing and the sun blinding it from his view.

The building was close to the ground but it was pretty dark and something seemed off about it. Before he knew it, the person he was chasing finally came to a halt on the edge of the building. It looked like Izaya was looking for another way out but couldn't pin point anywhere else. The blond heard the raven curse under his breathe as he slowly turned around to greet Shizuo with his facade and usual grin. A small devilish smile crept up onto Shizuo's face as well seeing how he's finally cornered the flea.

"I've got you now, damn flea...!" Shizuo slowly came closer panting with a devilish smile growing even wider. Izaya was slightly feeling tension around him and a thumping rhythm banging inside his rib cage as if he was a mouse being loomed over by a cat. "Oh~? Shizu-chan catching me? Don't make me laugh!" He gave a smile of malice, but his eyes weren't smiling. In fact, they were glaring daggers.

"Stop talking shit flea! We both know you're stuck here, unless you plan to jump down there."

"Speaking of down there, why don't you jump and run now? You scared, shitty flea?" Shizuo growled and marched over to the raven only to be greeted with a knife to his throat. "Don't count on it, Shizu-chan." He didn't bother to hear it, but now he could. Shizuo slowly looked down to see...

Water?

Did this shit not wanna get wet? Izaya making the first move slashed his knife fast as light could travel across Shizuo's vest only to be stopped by his arm being swatted awa and hauled up by his shirt.

"You're slower than before. That's even better since I'm gonna beat the shit out of you!"

Izaya couldn't feel his feet on the cement anymore making him squirm and look around. Only then did he realize, he's above the water.

Worry flashed through the raven's crimson eyes only for a split second to be replaced by his godly facade.

"Dropping me? Are you serious?" He tried to muster up the best smirk he could at the moment but was greeted by a breath that smelled of nicotine. "Damn straight. I bet you just don't wanna get wet stupid flea!" He growled.

He was serious.

He would drop Izaya into the water.

"Is that the best thing a brute like you can do? Why not just let me go and see where it goes, ne~?"

"If you're serious, then you must believe I am a fucking idiot!" He snarled. "Let go you protozoan! I don't want to get dirty with your germs!"

"But if I let go, you'll just complain, damn flea. Not that I have a problem with that. As long as you're out of my sight!" The raven glanced down one last time before finally meeting eyes with the brute.

"Um... S-Shizu-chan..." Shizuo's vein in his forehead now a bulge from the flea still using that nickname he hated so very much. "Hah?! What is it flea?"

"...!?"

Were his eyes lying to him? Was the sun blinding his full view of it?

Izaya was giving a small pleading look but was still smiling.

"I can't swim."

He couldn't believe his ears. Were his virgin ears being tricked and deceived by what he had just heard? No way. He was the flea. He would lie and manipulate to get what he wanted, why believe him on this crap?

"Nice try, but I don't believe a shit load you say."

Time slowed down and the suspense kicked in. Shizuo had stretched his fingers outward letting the fabric of Izaya's shirt slip from his fingers.

For a moment, even Shizuo saw it, Izaya's crimson eyes flashed with fear into honey ones filled with anger.

He had let him go...

And he wasn't lying.
