Greetings~ Sorry I haven't updated, I've been really sick but here's an update for ya. I hope you like it~ We're going to finally find out what Azrael's been planning! Anyway, enjoy.
Izaya watched in horror as Shizuo fell to the floor in front of him. He felt cold tears stream from his eyes as he stared down at the corps that had once been Shizuo Heiwajima. "Hurry up, you only have less than a minute." Azrael told him, the bluenette's voice void of emotion. Izaya nodded and did what Azrael had told him to do, he kneeled down over Shizuo and kissed him softly. The raven was amazed when he actually felt the others cold lips. Izaya was shocked to see Shizuo's wound disappearing and was about to ask what happens next when suddenly a searing pain shot through his head. He began to panic as he felt warm blood dripping down from his temple. "What's happening!?" Izaya demanded as he began to fight off dizziness.
"Simple," Azrael responded, "You're dying. All over again… You took his death upon yourself and now you're the one dying. But not so quickly. It's a slow and painful process and it's going to last a while." Izaya looked up at the blue eyed Shinigami in disbelief. "Y-you didn't mention this part! You- I thought we were friends!" the raven shouted, hurt that the person he trusted had done this to him. It's not that he would have changed his mind about saving Shizu-chan but it hurt that Azrael didn't explain everything to him.
"We are…" Azrael answered as he smiled sadly. "That's why I'm going to do this~" the bluenette leaned down suddenly and kissed Izaya's temple softly. The pain in Izaya's head began to slowly stop, he looked into the Shinigami's blue eyes and saw that they were filled with tears. "You were my first ever friend, so I'm doing this… You're my best friend, so I'll die for you~"
"Azrael…" Izaya said slowly, "It was fun… being with you" Azrael interrupted, he didn't want his last moments to be depressing. "Tell him how you feel alright? I promise he feels the same." Izaya could only nod, not trusting his voice and not wanting Azrael to see his tears, he stared at the floor. It was then the raven noticed that Azrael's shirt sleeves were stained red. A/N
"What's going to happen to you?" the crimson eyed male asked, Azrael smiled innocently and shrugged his shoulders, "Not sure~" he laughed but Izaya could hear it sounded pained and almost forced as if Azrael didn't want Izaya to see that he was suffering.
It wasn't long after when Azrael began to shake, he held his arms tightly around himself as he tried to keep a smile on his face. "Well… I guess it's time~" The bluenette smiled happily as he noticed Shizuo begin to wake, Izaya however kept his eyes on his friend shaking as silent tears left his eyes.
The blonde ex-bartender slowly opened his eyes and looked up just as Azrael disappeared, a soft giggle and single black feather being the only proof he had ever been…
A/N: Azrael's shirt sleeves were stained red because he committed suicide by slitting his wrists. When he took Izaya's death upon himself he began to die the same way his did the first time. By his wrist being cut.
