Chapter 3 : The Monster and Its Prey

Disclaimer: I Don't own own anyone but my oc's, And screw the shiki that was originally in the story. xD Enjoy

-Shizuo's POV

'Did I scare her? Is that why she backed away from me? I could not find out the right reason why she would have fallen, she could have answered the question simply and i would have let her leave, But why was she so scared of me?' I felt her move around on my back. I looked back at her and lightly smiled. "Are you okay?" I asked careful not to scare her.

"umm...I don't know?" She answered quietly "I'm really sore, and my head hurts." She laid her head on my back, which shocked me that she did not seem afraid anymore. I heard a little yelp come from her.

"Whats wrong?" I asked sighing to make myself stay calm

"Th-Theres blood on your shirt" She stared at me and grabbed her neck putting her hand on her wound "Was that my blood….?" she asked trailing off. I shook my head as in saying yes. "Can you put me down please?" I let her climb off my back and help her stand up, when she fell into me.

She winced as some pain went up her spine, putting her in a small state of shock. "Did you hurt your ankle?" She nodded "Which one, was it?" She pointed to her left ankle, putting all her weight onto her right one.

"I'm gonna bring you to my friend, he's a doctor so he can fix your ankle, okay?!" She just nodded, I guess i did freak her out a bit. I picked her back up and headed towards Shinra's house.

Time Skip-like 20 minutes

I knocked hard on the door to get the fool to open the door but Celty came instead. 'Hey Shizuo , Why are you here?' She asked holding up her little device so i could see it.

"I came to see if shinra could help me, This girl got hurt while i was asking her something, she kinda freaked out, fell and got her neck cut by a glass bottle and i think her ankle is sprained." I said coming in to the house.

'Oh, I'll go get shinra so he can fix her up.' She ran into the next room to come out with shinra.

"How may I help you Shizuo? He looked at the girl on my back and said "Who did you hurt this time shizuo? You have to be more careful,"

"I did not hurt her, she freaked out fell, cut herself and maybe sprained her ankle!" I said shouting at him, the girl moved around on my back and woke up. "Are you feeling better?" Asking to make sure she was alright.

"umm….." Thats all i got out of her, guess she really was afraid of me.

Shiki's POV

"So whats your name?" the man with brown hair and glasses asked grabbing a first aid kit.

"I'm Shiki….Shiki Nagia." I said looking down, I wanted to get my neck wrapped and just go home. My jacket was on the arm of the couch and surprisingly did not have a speck of blood on it.

"Well Shiki.." He said after wrapping my neck "Your neck should not have any trace of that cut from when you got it, after it's done healing. And your ankle is just a little strained you will have to keep it wrapped and re-wrap it every day." He stood up and walked away

Why does everything have to go wrong? I just wanted some sushi, I went twice today and left without any! I'm so hungry and it's all shizuo's fault. I wanna call Izaya to come and get me but he's all the way in shinjuku. it would take forever to get home, and i did not want to go alone, but i don't want shizuo to come with me, I don't like shizuo what it he hurt me , he scares me at his massive height!

"Umm well ….I-I want to go home." I stood up Somewhat limping

"I'll bring you home its not safe alone here at night." He stood up and headed to the door.

"I'm fine, I don't need you to take me home." I said trying not to make the man angry.

'I'll take you home, only if you want me too?!' Celty showed me her PDA...I shook my head as a yes and went outside with her. Riding on the bike gave me motion sickness, which is also the reason why I never bothered getting my license. Once I got home I slumped onto my couch and fell asleep.

Next Day

I felt something warm next to me….What was it, I don't care though it made me feel safe and thats all that mattered. When i finally woke up completely I heard a familiar voice.

"How was your sleep ...Shi~Chan?" The voice was Izaya's, what was he doing at my house? I Stood up and walked to the stairs, I was too tired to deal with him right now. All he's done for me the past few days, ended up with me at a doctor's office. "Shi~Chan...How did you get a cut on your neck?" He asked me wrapping his arms around my shoulder, ripping off the wrapping around my neck.

"I-I...umm" I said trailing off. I don't know how to say it. But he is getting on my nerves should I just answer or ignore his question? I decided to tell the story on how I ran into shizuo and why I have a 'sprained' ankle. Izaya then kicked my bad ankle, and I fell to the floor. "What the hell was that for?" I shouted at him.

"I kicked you so I could see your reaction to my actions." He said with a smirk. " also to see how much pain it caused you. Just stay away from Shizuo he will just end up hurting you."

"Why would you hurt someone for your own enjoyment? And he did not really hurt me, I hurt myself, You hurt me more than he hurt me!" Sometimes on really hated him, but he's my best friend and at the moment my only friend in ikebukuro. Unless you count celty and shinra. He helped me off the ground and grabbed some gauze to wrap around my neck, and my ankle.

"Well i'm sorry then, I don't want to hurt you. You just bring it on your self that you end up getting hurt. And remember back in sixth grade you were called the 'cursed girl' for a reason." He said, I'm tired of him mocking me he could show some respect to me, what happened to him after i moved he used to be so nice now he's just Izaya, or was he still Izaya and just acted different around me? Then i remembered what shizuo said "He acts different around you then to anyone else!" That one sentance played over and over in my mind. Dose Izaya like me?

"Umm...Izaya I have a question….?" I said worried about the answer,

"Yes what is it?" He answered back

"Do...ummm...Do you like me?" I said that with all my effort, I could feel my face turn red!

"Depends what you mean when you say 'like'?" He asked back. What do I say? Oh god I knew that was a bad question to ask!

"By like, umm…" Speak shiki come on SPEAK! "As a friend or am I more than a friend to you?" Okay my dignity is gone I lost this fight, Why am I worrying So much anyway?

"Well thats up to you if you want to be more than friends. Cause I think we have been way more than friends for years!" I was shocked I did not know what to say to him. All I could do was sit there and stare at him.
