My Sweet Child

Chapter Fourteen

Worry

Shizuo tossed and turned in his covers, shaking slightly as he remembered Kasuka's strong grip. He didn't remember Kasuka being that strong but since he'd gotten a hit on the flea he didn't find it that surprising. But still, he had been as harmless as a fly until Izaya pissed him off. Had he been acting all this time? Hiding it from his own brother? Did he doubt him that much? Maybe he had just gotten weak from laying around all these months. No, the red hand prints on his wrists were proof of the other brunette's strength and it wasn't that easy to leave a mark on a monster.

"Looks like he inherited it after all…" Shizuo coughed, holding back the tears that formed in his eyes. "DAMN IT!"

Shizuo had been sure he had been the only one to inherit the monster's blood…he was so sure that Kasuka had been born a normal human. He took so much after their mother so he'd been sure that her genes had basically killed that bastard's. Shizuo could never forget the face of relief on his mother's face when Kasuka had been born. The son she had always dreamed of…the son that would never become like that monster.

"Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!" Angered to the point he lost control, Shizuo managed to damage half the furniture in the room before coming back to his senses. "Oh shit. Shinra's gonna kill me for this."

The brunette scanned the room to count just how much he'd have to pay. He had gone up to about 1,000,000 yen when he finally gave up and dug back into the duvet thinking, SCREW EVERYTHING! and accidently falling asleep.

The next morning, a shrill scream came from Shizuo's room causing Kasuka to come running to the brunette's rescue. However to his dismay the door had been locked.

"SHIT! Nii-san are you alright?!" Kasuka shouted, banging his fists on the door.

The violent reply that came from the other side of the door caused Kasuka's vein's to pop.

"HELL NO! GET THIS SHITTY FLEA OFF ME!"

Without a moment's hesitation Kasuka immediately broke down the door after hearing his brother's answer. The sight before him almost made him murder Izaya as the raven was smugly trying to strip the shaking brunette beneath him.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" He shouted pulling Izaya off his brother and protectively wrapping his arms around Shizuo's unstable form.

"Nee, you guys make it seem like I was trying to rape poor Shizu-chan here!" Izaya chuckled, amused at the sight of the broken monster and his enraged brother. Ahh~ this reminds me of the last time I visited Shizu-chan back in Ikebukuro Fufufufu…such sweet memories…

His face must have said it all as Kasuka once again tried to knock Izaya unconscious, just missing the raven by a hair's length as he dodged just in time.

"I DON'T CARE THE FUCK YOU WERE TRYING TO DO! JUST STAY AWAY FROM NII-SAN!"

"Temper temper Kasuka-kun~ Why you're becoming just like poor Shizu-chan here." Izaya joked dodging another attack; this time from Shizuo who was turning slightly green. "Shizu-chan?"

As soon as Kasuka and Izaya saw something was wrong with Shizuo all of the murderous aura was replaced by their worried cries. "SHIZUO!/NII-SAN!"

"I'm fine…just get that flea away from me before I go crazy again…" Shizuo grumbled pulling away from Izaya's outstretched hand to grab onto Kasuka's supporting arm.

"…I believe you heard him loud and clear Orihara-san." Kasuka growled, shifting his arms to properly support Shizuo.

Izaya tsked before walking out the room, slamming the door hard behind him.

Shizuo was still shaking a bit after Izaya had left but was relatively stable enough to be comforted on his bed. "Shit…this didn't happen yesterday so what the fuck happened!" He grumbled, still grasped tightly onto Kasuka.

"I don't know either nii-san but Shinra nii might know. Let's ask him later." Kasuka sighed.

Shizuo nodded silently before letting Kasuka push him back down on the bed.

"I don't want to leave but…I have to go back to Ikebukuro for work…" He said a little quieter so that Shizuo could just hear him speak. Shizuo twitched in response but did nothing else and let the other brunette continue.

"Celty-san promised to guard you against Izaya while I'm gone so you don't have to worry about him. I might be gone for a while but I'll probably be back by next week…Ittekimasu nii-san"

Shizuo nodded at this and sat back up to give his brother the usual goodbye kiss on his forehead. "Itterashai…" He whispered back, finally releasing Kasuka who hurried to leave the room.

When he left the whole room was silent again and Shizuo felt the undeniable feeling of pain slowly filling his empty chest. "I…tterashai…"

Okay still working on the long chapter I promised and it's still not going very well. This is a perfect example of one of my failed attempts...DAMN NEW SCHOOL YEARS!

P.s: to those who didn't vote they're still going!
