"Hello again~" came the sweet innocent voice of the blue haired Shinigami. "Have you changed your mind~?" the blond ex-bartender simply stared at him, eyes void of emotion and mouth set in a straight line. "If I do this-"

"You can be with him again~" Azrael finished. Shizuo thought about it, about the people he'd be leaving behind… Kasuka, Celty, Shinra… is it worth it? … "Yes" he had reached his resolve, everyday he spent without that annoying flea just ripped him apart a little more each time he woke up and realized- He's really gone.

Azrael smiled before disappearing, one down, one to go.

Somewhere in Ikebukuro; Time Unknown

Izaya sat quietly on a park bench, he couldn't understand this, why was Shizu-chan thinking about him? Crying for him? The raven had never had a single doubt that the blond hated him so…why?

"Why not?" a voice asked from behind, causing him to jump. "Because I'm just a 'Disgusting flea'" Izaya answered with a sad sigh. "You can't believe he really meant that. After all, haven't' you called him names that you didn't mean?" Azrael had a point, but from the first moment they met, Shizuo had tried to kill him. "Maybe so, but you attacked him back." the bluenette answered his inner thoughts. "That's creepy." Izaya told him as the other just continued to smile. "He loves you."

"No he doesn't." the raven replied. "Then why is he going to kill himself?" Azrael asked innocently while staring at Izaya with a confused expression. "HE'S WHAT!?" the former informant shouted, standing up from his seat and looking around in panic. "You don't want him to?" the Shinigami asked. "NO!" the crimson eyed male continued to shout, grabbing the front of Azrael's shirt and staring into the others glowing blue eyes.

"Stop him! Please!" tears had begun to from in Izaya's eyes as he thought desperately about what to do, what could he do? Shizuo couldn't hear him, he couldn't touch him, he couldn't stop him…

"We have to do something! There has to be some way!" Izaya was frantic, he couldn't let Shizu-chan do this! "There is one way…" Azrael said, his voice losing all of it's cheery innocence. "Tell me!" the panicked information broker demanded. "You have to wait… for the second Shizuo's heart stops. Then you can save him."

"So he has to die for me to save him!?" Izaya asked in disbelief. Azrael just nodded somberly. "He'll only be dead for a few seconds though."

"That's stupid." Izaya growled. "Do you want him to live?" the blue eyed Shinigami asked, "Yes." the raven said with no hesitation. "Alright then… But there is one thing."

"What?" he asked the bluenette. "If you do this… You'll disappear, for good this time." Izaya only paused for a second before nodding, "That's okay. As long as Shizu-chan is alright."

Azrael smiled sadly for a moment before becoming cheerful once more. "Don't you worry about a thing. Everything'll work out." Azrael giggled before linking arms with his only friend. "We've gotta hurry, can't be late…"

Ikebukuro, Shizuo's Apartment; 11:59 p.m.

The clock was ticking slowly, it seemed as if an eternity had passed as Shizuo watched the glowing red numbers, waiting for 12 a.m. to strike. He wasn't sure what possessed him to listen to the blue haired boy form his dreams. Then again, people always said he acted before thinking… especially Izaya… It was ironic really, not too long ago the simply mention of Izaya Orihara would send Shizuo into a blind rage. Now, the mention of that name sent pain coursing through his being. He had never felt this kind of love before, and it took the death of the person he loved to finally realize these feelings.

Shizuo placed the barrel of the gun to his temple, clicked off the safety, and just as the numbers on the bedside alarm clock blinked 12:00, he pulled the trigger…

Whoa! What is going on with our sweet little Azrael? What's he got going on in that little head of his? And is it good or bad? Can he be trusted…? All these questions will be answered in the next chapter~ So stay tuned. One more chapter down. I hope you guys liked this chapter. Review~
