[Kasuka's POV]
During the time Izaya had been interrogating Nakura, Kasuka was trying to pinpoint just what it was that Dong-Yul was thinking. The bastard had looked so smug it was sickening, and he just kept switching his gaze between them with a smile. What are you waiting for? Kasuka thought to himself, finally seeing the man step forward.
The small steps continued as Nakura relieved that he was a 'helper' to Dong-Yul getting some kind of revenge, which wasn't far fetched, seeing as he looked pretty fulfilled at the moment. But that still didn't give him enough of a warning when Dong-Yul finally had gotten close enough and lunged at Izaya, making Kasuka try to push his boyfriend away and towards safety.
He also didn't account for the tech manager to turn so quickly and changing his aim, now knocking Kasuka over with ease before pulling his arms back behind him, an easy task as Kasuka tried to regain all the air he'd lost from Dong-Yul dropping a knee on his spine. The pain had shot through him enough to stun him while he was pulled up into a sitting position, now crouched where he was as he focused again - the first thing that came to his sight was a gun to his head.
His blood ran cold for a second and he barely heard footsteps running towards him as he focused on the gun. But his attention was ripped away when he saw the door that they had come through being ripped off of it's hinges with ease. Dong-Yul seemed to have noticed too, returning the painful grip on his arms but this time pulling him backwards instead of into submission. Kasuka pushed himself back and with the others help, they were a good foot away already when the door was flying through the air, smacking into Nakura's side and forcing a large snap to run through the air, the man's arm bending in a way it wasn't meant to and the gunshot that had then been aimed at Izaya missed it's target by a mile.
The three of them watched in stunned silence as the door practically ripped Nakura from his spot and sent him flying into the railing of the building, being easily pinned there as Dong-Yul released Kasuka's arms and backed away from him.
"I-I didn't know he had a gun, I swear! H-He said he couldn't, d-didn't own one!" the tech manager tried to explain, just getting an uninterested glare in return from the ravenett on the floor before the actor stood up and looked over to his brother, giving him a relieved smile.
"Thanks aniki, you saved us." Kasuka called to him, moving to run over to his boyfriend's side while Shizuo began walking towards Dong-Yul, probably to restrain him just in case he changed his mind about acting oblivious to this. Before either of them could get to their target though, there was another gunshot and a grunt of pain from behind him. Izaya's eyes grew wide, looking passed him, and Kasuka turned to see what had happened, knowing Nakura's own gun had spun away from him clear over to the other side of the rooftop when he'd gotten hit - but he saw someone standing where Shizuo had once been in the stairwell, gun in hand.
It was Shara, still alive and well.
"What the.." Kasuka got out before he moved his gaze again to where she had aimed, noticing Shizuo was now clutching his side in pain with a very pissed look in his eyes.
"If he's dead, you better get ready to join him, bastard!" Shara hissed, moving from her position and keeping the gun pointed at the blond man while she made her way over to the door that now trapped an unconscious and broken Nakura against steel rods. Kasuka just watched the whole thing in stunned silence, along with his boyfriend.
"Shara.. We thought you were dead." Izaya mumbled from where he was, standing beside Kasuka in confusion after walking over to him. The girl just scowled and continued trying to move the door from the injured man.
"I faked it, dumbass. I just wanted to start over, no ties or left over responsibilities once I was gone. Guess no one missed me, since everything just continued on like I never happened…" the former-assistant hissed.
"Guess this is why all the details of what happened were so vague.. But why the fuck are you here? Izaya never did anything to you!" Kasuka protested, mind trying to work out everything that was happening before Shizuo tried to take a step towards her, getting a gun aimed at him once more as he grunted in discomfort. The actor noticed and slowly began making his way over to Shizuo with his boyfriend in tow, trying to see if the blond was alright without making Shara pull the trigger.
"Wrong. Izaya is the one that got my mom kidnapped and my dad killed because they were part of some stupid gang.. I'm here because Nakura promised I could move far away with him once this is over. He can't go back to America, and we couldn't stay here if he killed someone, especially someone famous." Shara announced. Dong-Yul finally spoke up from where he was, way at the back near the door as he watched on, still in almost silent horror from what he could have helped commit.
"So you knew about the gun this whole time!? You didn't tell me!?" the Korean shouted, his gaze moving from shocked to pissed in a couple seconds. "I could have been an accessory to murder and you would just let him get away with it!?"
"Yes, dumbass! We knew you'd never act as delivery boy if we told you what he was going to do to 'Yuuhei', your precious rival." Shara dismissed, finally managing to turn the door over and let it thud on it's side, taking pressure off of Nakura and letting blood run out from his broken and open-wounded arm. "And they're both my guns, so technically when you asked him, he wasn't lying."
Kasuka just shook his head, making sense of the situation slowly. "So, how fucking long has this guy been watching us after all? You 'died' a while ago, so what was with making us wait?" he asked, wondering just how violated he should feel in this situation. The actor was currently trying to apply pressure to his brother's wound as well, despite the blond's quiet protests and intense focus on the one with a weapon. The younger brother had no doubt that if Shara tried to shoot him, he'd take a second bullet without thinking.
"Hm.. At least a month. In case you didn't know, as smart as he is, these things take time and planning. And a lot of favor asking." Shara hummed, trying to put pressure on Nakura's wounds as well. Her words made sense, but it didn't make him feel any better.
"You're insane… Fuck, I'm insane.." Dong-Yul muttered, being further away from them now as he backed away from the action. Kasuka and Izaya glanced at each other before the informant looked back at the tech manager.
"Hey Ki? If you go get my friends downstairs, I'd be willing to forget your part in this ever existed." Izaya announced, watching Dong-Yul's face fill with surprise before he let out a slow nod, the two of them going back to watching their captor intently.
Shara trained her gun on him and took a warning shot, making him jump further from the door than anticipated. "Try it and you get a bullet to the head, along with your little crush." she threatened, making Kasuka and Dong-Yul both pale.
"Sh-Shara, you don't need to do this ya know? I'm sure if we just let them go and get you and Nakura to Canada or somewhere like that, everything will still be fine.. I won't tell anyone at work that you're alive, won't talk to the police. Izaya and Kasuka won't either, right?" Dong-Yul tried to reason, casting a desperate glance at the three men on his side. Kasuka just gave him a glare once before thinking it over.
If it'll get everyone out just fine, then I guess I have to agree. The actor thought to himself, almost wishing this wasn't his only option.
"He's right. Just let us go and we'll get Nakura to a doctor too. There's one waiting for us downstairs right now." Kasuka added, glancing at Izaya before the informant backed down slightly, getting out of his defensive position and not saying anything, the closest he would probably get to agreement.
Shizuo was silent for this whole thing but when Shara glared at him, waiting for a confirmation on his end as well, he straightened up a bit despite his injury. "I'll even carry him to get treatment." the blond submitted, glaring harshly behind his shades and scowling, but none the less being a part of the 'surrender'.
The girl looked between them for a long moment, trying to make a judgement before she finally backed away from Nakura.
Shizuo walked over to the unconscious man, who he was probably wishing he'd hit harder, before scooping him up with slightly pained ease and began walking towards the staircase. Kasuka only stopped him once, getting a gun pointed at him again in the progress, to take off his own jacket and wrap it around his brother's waist, covering the bullet wound. "If they see him with blood and you with a gun, there's no way they won't call the cops on you. Put the damn thing away before we aren't even able to keep up our end of the deal." Kasuka muttered in irritation, glaring back at Shara before she nodded and gestured for all of them to head down ahead of her, keeping the gun concealed on their way to the elevator and heading out of the building with them in silence. Kasuka was just glad that none of them needed to worry about being literally stabbed in the back on their way down to the bottom floor and the doctor's apartment. Please still be waiting for us, Shinra.
Chapter 54!
Sorry I cut it off there, but this would be such a long chapter if I put it together, I can barely stand editing a chapter that's this long already because it messes up my flow and I already think said flow was completely horrible in this…
I'm sorry guys, but I hope it's not as bad as I assume! Seriously, if you see something that you think needs fixing or explaining, just let me know and I'll get to it soon!
Lemme know what you guys think and I'll try really hard to finish this up in the next chapter so we can get back to fluffy-domestic for a little while, kay?
And sorry for bringing back an entirely unexpected character, I know some people really hate that because we factored her out before this even happened, but I do plan ahead in this story sometimes and I saw her as a good factor to jump back out with. Don't hate me please!
Once this is over everything will be normal and calm again, so just bear with me lovelies ;^;
Tiny bit of insight: The gang that Izaya had been so focused on a couple, probably more than a couple, chapters ago on when he was sick from meds and confused about being a God or human, was the one that Shara's family was in. Since he helped Shiki with getting them out and getting them 'taken care of' bits at a time, one of the first bits being Shara's parents since they were grunts; this was one of the results.
Also, Nakura has been planning this for a while, but has only recently gotten Shara and Dong-Yul's help. Dong-Yul when Izaya broke his heart and Shara almost from the moment the chapter of her 'dying' took place. Like Izaya pointed out during his little break-down afterwards, he did mention that she would have been an easy victim for suicide, and all the things pointed out were things that, only technically, led to her 'death'.
I hope you all liked this chapter! Favorite, follow and review to see more!
