Okay, time for Tania to meet Shizuo's alts, since Arlua met Izaya's. This one isn't as good as the first one, but meh.
Disclaimer: I own only Tania and Arlua.
Tania frowned as she waited for Arlua. The technician was late, which was unlike her. Tania was about to call her when someone slung their arm around her shoulders.
"Shizuo was right; you're very attractive," mused a voice that sounded a lot like her boyfriend's. "Personally, I would prefer more curve, but…"
Tania was out of his hold in an instant, handgun unholstered and the muzzle pressed to the man's shoulder before he could so much as blink.
"I would advise you not touch me again," she informed him calmly. Then she blinked. The man looked like a pink-eyed, pink-and-white-suit-wearing version of Shizuo. "Who are you?"
"Delic Heiwajima, at your service," the man answered, grinning, seemingly unaffected by the weapon pointed at him. "And you're Tania Yuuki, Shizuo's girlfriend. Nice to meet you." Tania frowned and slowly put away her weapon.
"I don't think I've ever heard of you," she said.
"You haven't? That's a shame," he sighed.
"Or a blessing." Tania blinked at the men who had come up beside Delic. The one who had spoken was clad in a blue and white kimono of all things. His eyes were blue, and there was a sense of calm around him that Tania approved of. He wasn't a threat. The man who had arrived with him had red eyes and was wearing black dress pants and a white long-sleeved shirt with a vest, with a white scarf around his neck, glasses falling down his nose, and a messenger bag over his shoulder.
"What took you two so long?" Delic asked them. The one with the scarf blushed and buried his face in his scarf.
"Tsuki got lost again. I had to go find him," the kimono one explained.
"Tsuki?" Tania murmured.
"The blushy one is Tsukishima Heiwajima. The calm one is Tsugaru," Delic explained.
"Hello?" Tania tried. Mind whirling why were there three men who looked exactly like Shizuo – except for their eyes and outfits of course – and why were they talking to her?
"H-hello," Tsukishima stammered. Tsugaru just nodded in a calm, friendly way. Tania found herself thinking, Tsugaru and I would get along pretty well.
"So you're the teacher." Tania turned and found a woman who could have been Shizuo's twin sister. "I'm Shizuka Heiwajima." She held out her hand, which Tania shook warily.
"Who are you all?" the instructor inquired.
"Delic didn't tell you?" Shizuka sounded irritated. "We're different versions of Shizuo. Delic is how Shizuo would be if he were a pervert, Tsugaru is how he would be without his short temper, Tsukishima is his incredibly shy and clumsy version, and I'm how Shizuo would be as a girl."
Tania gaped at the four of them. Was this some sort of prank? Or maybe she was hallucinating?
"We just wanted to meet you," Tsugaru explained calmly. "To see if you were really as calm and pleasant as Shizuo sai-"
"Oh, by the way, you should probably wake up soon," Delic interrupted. "Your friend is here."
The teacher frowned and started to ask what he meant, then paused.
Someone was shaking Tania's shoulder.
She blinked awake on one of the benches around the fountain near Russia Sushi. Arlua was standing over her.
"Hey, Ani. Sorry I'm late," the technician apologized. "I fell asleep at Izzy's and had a weird dream."
"I think I did, too," Tania muttered. "Had a weird dream, I mean."
Something about different versions of Shizuo…?
