[Kasuka's POV]

The actor looked over at his phone as it started ringing, still apprehensive but taking it in his hand. He actually read who was calling this time before answering and he was surprised to see it was his boyfriend. It must be important if he's actually contacting me...

Kasuka answered it and gave a greeting before he heard his boyfriend instantly tell him to come over to Shinra's. "Why, what happened?"

"We got the second letter. It has orders in it." Izaya said simply, making him tense slightly before nodding to himself despite knowing that the other could't see it.

"Alright, I'll be right there.." he muttered before hanging up and quickly leaving the house, not wanting to hesitate even a moment on finding out what they had to do.

But why did they take it to Shinra's house? Had they been watching me and Shizuo that intently? What the fuck is going on...

The actor was in front of the doctor's door within half an hour, much too long in his opinion, but he'd done the best he could with so many people being out and about at this time of day. And despite his manners, he didn't even try knocking before entering the man's home and work-place and seeing Izaya sat on the couch while Celty and Shinra were obviously contemplating something.

"I'm here. Did anyone read it yet?" Kasuka announced from where he stood in the entry-way, looking between them all and glancing to the side, seeing his brother was still here and giving him a nod.

"Yeah, we did.. Bastard wants you two to meet up with him somewhere." Shizuo answered for Izaya, who was currently looking over the letter they had gotten with a frown on his face, almost scowling. Kasuka just gave a small nod to the response, not sure what to feel at the moment. If they met up with him they could get this resolved but it obviously wouldn't be so easy to do that, it never was in movies or anything like that, and he didn't see real life making it much easier for them.

Kasuka went over to sit next to his boyfriend, glancing at the letter and beginning to read it.

'So, you finally figured me out? It took you long enough. I've had this letter ready before even sending out the first one.

I'm sure you're wondering what the terms I have are for you two to not have your lives ruined. They're very simple, don't worry.

If both of you come to meet me on the roof of the Shinjuku Park Tower at 11 pm, then I won't send out the picture. You just have to come see me.

But if you send someone else, bring weapons with you to harm me or tell the cops where we'll be meeting, then the deal is off and I'll set up for this picture to be sent to Izaya's employer and to be plastered around the city, maybe even on a few big screens~

If you don't show up at all.. Well, I make no promises about anything.'

Kasuka reread it once and then another time before groaning and rubbing his eyes in exasperation. "What the fuck is this guy thinking?" he muttered to himself, looking up when Izaya glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

"He's thinking that he can get payback on me for something I did to him a long time ago. The DNA test worked, we found out who it is." the informant explained, leaning back in his seat with a deep sigh as he looked up to stare at the ceiling. "So.. Are we going to just go there unarmed like he said?" the ravenett asked further, not looking at Kasuka but instead at Shizuo, since the blond was still seething across from them.

"No, you aren't! At least, Kasuka isn't. I don't care what the damn letter said, we have to think of something before anyone does anything." the blond announced, glaring at the informant, probably just for suggesting it. Shinra and Celty finally came back into the conversation, standing side by side with a frown on their, his, face.

"If you don't listen to him then that picture will go everywhere. Even if I don't think this is the worst thing in the world, you should still play it safe and at least follow most of his instruction.." Shinra said to them, once again being uncharacteristically serious. Kasuka just looked up at him with a look of surprise before he glared at him, a rare thing for the actor.

"And just how is this not the worst thing in the world?" the ravenett demanded, seeing Shinra's eyes widen.

"Well.. I was just thinking that you're an actor, you're famous and tons of famous people are in a relationship, sexual ones, and that information getting out never really hurt them unless of course it wasn't consensual... Which is obviously is, since you guys are the cutest couple around." the doctor went on, smiling at the end and getting another glare from the actor, along with Izaya.

"Shinra, stay on topic." the informant demanded.

"Right, right. And Izaya's just an informant! Uh.. I didn't mean the 'just' part but ya know.. It's not like being in a relationship was ever forbidden from you, was it?" Shinra watched Izaya for a second as Izaya thought, then shook his head to say it wasn't. "Exactly! I mean, I can understand that you wouldn't want it getting out, just showing the picture to me was embarrassing and I've already seen you naked before." Izaya covered his face at that with a groan. "So despite the temporary embarrassment, everything would be fine after it got out, wouldn't it?"

Kasuka just looked at his boyfriend, both of them having an almost pained look on their face from the secret of Izaya's second job. "Shinra.. You're right, it wouldn't be the end of the world, but we have a personal life together and we desperately want to keep it personal. Please, just help us get to this guy without getting ourselves killed." Kasuka proceeded, wrapping his arm around his boyfriend's shoulders to bring him closer.

Celty and Shinra glanced at each other once more, everyone ignoring the irritated but understanding look Shizuo was giving the couple in front of him, and finally just agreed to it.

[We'll think of something. Promise.] [For now, just head back to your homes and act like you normally would. We'll meet up with you behind Shinjuku Park to let you know our plan or call you even before that.] [Take care..]

Chapter 51!

Alright, I know everyone wanted action by now, I do too, but I just wanted to set the stage for this first.

I really thought that Shinra, despite being a klutz and not knowing when to not say something, would have a good insight to the situation.

And Celty is always there to help, along with Shizuo when called for, so I just kept them supportive and tame, respectively.

Does anyone have any ideas of what's going to happen when they get there? I want to know what you all think~

PS. To c-antonella: They could get his name from DNA because DNA only ever has one single match, so by getting it and running it through a process, extra information being given to him from Izaya probably, he could easily check who it was. I know it's not canon for him to have this technology, but I didn't want to post-pone or extend this arc more.

Oh, and since Nakura is currently living in Japan again and is found to have a criminal record, it wouldn't be completely impossible for Shinra to have treated this guys' wounds by accident and put his DNA into said technology for reference either. The world can be so small..

I hope you all liked this chapter! Favorite, follow and review to see more!
