BUT- after I wrote all the updates yesterday- she corrected all four chapters in like, within 3 hours, after I sent them to her ;/; Thank you a lot SoylentRamen C:
Guest 2: hehe awww yess *0* I think so too xD Shizu-chan trying to protect someone is just the cutest thing ever- Oh, aww xD now that you say it I guess it was hehe cx As for izaya making Shizuo angry, to be honest I don´t even know how else I could have made Shizu-chan stable again- I think violence is the best way to vent for him haha c: As for Shizuo, well~ he is slowly realizing that he is the stronger one here in a literal sense. C; God how i love it when his protection instincts kick in xD
Reader: awww, nuh uh, he was tired after all C: And somewhere deep down he knew why Izaya said those things, even while he was mad C: Now that they got that solved we get to the interesting part *0* xDD At least to the scene I have been waiting for for ages xD Taking place in: the ominous hospital~ hehehehe

ஜ Chapter 8: Hospital ஜ
-Shizuo´s point of view-
"Wake up, you sleeping rock." The blond blinked, confused, rays of the sun blinding him as they shone in his face.
A sleepy grumble escaped his lips as he rolled over, facing not only more of the sun, but also a certain raven-haired flea that was sitting next to him.
There, on the edge of the mattress, Izaya was letting his legs dangle down the tree. His head was tilted slightly, just enough that Shizuo could make out that trademark smirk on his face.
"Slept well, sleeping beauty?" he grinned, letting himself fall on his back, his arms crossed behind his head.
The blond frowned. He was about to reply, but strange noises caught his attention and suddenly, he was wide awake.
"What´s that?"
"Oh wow, the protozoan finally noticed." A glare was shot towards the raven for that kind of comment so early in the morning, but he didn´t seem to even notice as he sat upright and glanced down the tree.
"Look. What did I tell you?" A frown forming on the brute's expression, he got up from the mattress in the tree- slightly shaking, he moved forward, leaves dropping on his back as he looked down to the ground. When he saw what it was that had made the noise though, he wished he hadn´t looked.
"See? I knew there would be one."
There was a dog. And it did not look friendly. Not at all- its eyes were white, glassy, just like those zombies' eyes. It bared its teeth and growled darkly at the tree.
Its paws were soaked in blood, and a stench was reaching the blond´s nostrils causing the all too familiar nausea to return.
He didn´t even want to imagine just what that dog had been doing before walking here...
"Good thing this tree is so tall," the raven muttered, still watching the creature as he pointed to the spot Shizuo had hit yesterday.
"The dent you made in the trunk almost let that dog up before. If you had punched just a bit higher up, that thing might even have been able to get up here." A shudder rippled through the blond´s body.
Up here?
While they slept?
"What are we going to do with it?"
Imagining waking up to a zombie dog staring at his face certainly made him feel uneasy. But the raven waved him off.
"I was just playing with it, no worries." And with that he tossed a knife down the tree, piercing the dog's skull easily.
Shizuo gulped- avoiding looking at the now dead creature as he tried to keep his stomach´s contents down... then again, he could have only retched. After they discovered this house yesterday, he hadn´t gotten anything to eat, anyway.
"You are really a creepy little shit sometimes," he mumbled as he turned towards their bags.
"Because I murdered it, or because I played with it?"
Play, huh?
"Both." He rummaged through the contents of his own bag that the raven had made him take.
Everything was still there, the muffins and sweets breads, just like he left it behind. Later, when he stopped feeling nauseous, he would treat himself with one of these.
"Are you getting ready, or do you want me to leave you behind?" The blond turned his head to look at his new companion when he spoke those words. It was only now that he realized that Izaya seemed to be ready to leave.
The backpack he had been carrying around was resting on his back, and he was sitting on the ledge, ready to take off.
"Any reason why you are in such a hurry?" Shizuo grumbled, a bit annoyed that he had just been woken up and already had to leave.
The raven shrugged. "Not really, but the hospital isn´t far from here, and I don´t know about you, but I would like to get there before the sun goes down again."
The blond frowned. Until now, he had forgotten where they were actually heading.
That stupid flea actually wanted to go to a hospital.
A freaking hospital.
"I still don´t get why you would want to go there," he mumbled, sliding the backpack onto his shoulders before jumping down the tree.
"No complaining, Shizu-chan, remember~?"
Yeah, yeah, he remembered.
...
Wait-
"We are near that hospital?" he repeated, only now realizing how odd what Izaya said was; after all, it seemed like they were in the middle of nowhere.
The raven blinked, then broke out into laughter as he looked at the blond´s confused expression.
"Shizu-chan, where do you think we are?" he asked, still laughing as he looked at the brute. Sometimes, he really was hilarious.
"Uh..." The blond let his eyes travel over the landscape.
There were only trees, grass and nature in sight- and that one house. It looked like they were somewhere pretty far away from the city... no?
"This is a park, Shizu-chan," the raven giggled, "or more like, a park and a private garden from one of those rich asses." He pointed over to the trees behind the house.
"See that?" The blond squinted, glancing over there. The sun had almost fully risen, and everything was shining in bright colors.
That´s when he spotted something.
"There is a roof behind that-"
"Bingo~!" the raven snorted, "I bet that's some kind of mansion from some really important businessman, or maybe yakuza? Who knows these days~" the raven sighed, pulling the car´s keys out of his pants pocket as he walked over to the car.
He was almost waiting for the blond to ask now why they didn´t go there- resulting in an annoying conversation where he would have to explain to the blond that going into maybe not so empty houses, was not a smart idea.
Though the question never came.
"... I see." It was only when Izaya slipped into the car´s seat and Shizu-chan still kept quiet that Izaya realized he wasn´t the only one who probably experienced that kind of thing.
Being surprised by unwanted residents, that is.
Hmm. Maybe he wouldn't have to babysit the brute as much as he thought after all.
Apart from the yelling in the middle of the city when they met, he had actually behaved. After all, his strength already ended up being useful.
A grin drew across the raven´s lips as an image of an obedient dog flashed through his mind.
The other door opened with a clack as the blond finally entered the car. A frown spread over his features.
"What are you grinning so creepily for?" The raven snorted.
"Oh nothing~"
As if.
The blond sighed as he let himself slip into the car´s seat. Throwing the backpack into the back of the car, the raven started the engine, finally rolling away from that place.
Shizuo tilted his head back a bit, glancing at their little hideout as they left. It was kind of a shame to leave it like this.
Looking up ahead again, he saw a sort of gate in the distance.
That flea had really driven straight into a park- or whatever this was.
He glanced to the side, watching the driver- a driver with a black eye.
Ah-
Now that he thought about it, that was his fault wasn´t it?
...
"Does that still hurt?" The raven blinked for a second, not having expected the question.
Oh. Right, the brute had been quite violent the last night- though considerably less violent than usual. Izaya had forgotten about it.
"Not really. Why do you care?" The raven raised a brow, answering his question with another question.
The blond frowned.
"Cuz you actually didn´t deserve it this time."
Well, this was a first.
Shizu-chan saying he didn´t deserve to get beaten up; he should be remembering the day this happened.
A frown appeared on his face, though, when he realized he had forgotten what the date was-
Without his computer, the daily routine, and things like the news, things like this were forgotten way too easily.
"... you said that on purpose didn´t you? You wanted me to flip out." Interesting. The blond was smarter than he thought.
"And why would that be?" To be honest, for once he didn´t even mind that the blond had seen through something he did.
It was kind of reassuring.
Travelling with a stupid imbecile would only be additional weight. Shizu-chan wasn´t as stupid as Izaya always made him seem to be though, even he knew that.
"Because... I don´t know, to make me feel better, I guess."
Good perception Shizu-chan.
"By using violence?"
"Dunno, yeah."
"Well, did it work?" The blond nodded slightly, his head thudding against the window as he looked at the landscape passing by.
"Yeah."
"Then it´s all good." All good he says...
He still remembered how often he had hit the raven. Except for that black eye, he bet he had a couple bruises scattered all over his body.
"Next time, don´t make me use violence, though." The raven snorted, finally having reached the city's streets again.
Warily, he eyed a few of the creatures wandering around and turning towards them as soon as Izaya sped up. Gross.
"There will be no next time, Shizu-chan. We are driving together alone; if you ever have to mourn over someone dead again, then it would probably be me, and I doubt you would even mourn my death." The blond blinked at that, tearing his eyes away from the sight of three zombies staring at him from an alley they passed.
...
"Why do you think that?" Another turn was made and Shizuo realized they were already in Shirokanetakanawa, his eyes falling on one of the signs next to the street.
"Oh please, Shizu-chan, it´s nice you are trying so hard, but I know you hate me, and I hate you, too, the only mutual feeling we share, I guess. I don´t expect you to feel bad over me being gone."
...
He wasn´t so sure about that.
Sure, he hated Izaya, he seriously detested the flea and his annoying grin. But even now, when he thought about it, he didn´t feel the usual rage that filled his mind.
Right now, he was just kind of glad he was there. He was taking the lead, he seemed to have some kind of goal. To be honest, Shizuo didn´t even want to know what exactly Izaya´s plan was.
It felt better to just know that he at least had a plan, and to believe that it would be something to make everything better again.
Even if that was impossible.
"Though, once I really do die, remember to burn me, 'kay? The thought of turning into one of these things, or my corpse getting eaten by those creatures, is something I don´t want having to worry about."
... when he died?
... no way. A frown carved itself onto Shizuo´s expression as he snapped his head towards the flea.
"You aren´t going to die." It was a statement, something that almost sounded like a promise, as if he would make sure of that, but Izaya just laughed.
"Oh, I don´t plan on it either, I´m just saying it. Any last wish from your side? Want me to bury you with some nice flowers or something?" The blond frowned, imagining the raven next to his corpse.
"As if you would do that." He would probably laugh at him. Or just say one last time how stupid he was for dying.
Yeah, something like that would suit the flea.
"Who knows?" If Shizu-chan died... it would probably be because he got bitten. None of these things would be able to actually take him down.
If anything, then it would be a bite.
And that meant he would have to take Shizu-chan down on his own- which seemed about impossible. He wondered if he had realized that yet.
"Can we please stop talking about this?" It was the blond who had voiced the words.
He seemed to get more and more uncomfortable over this topic.
Heh, he was more sensitive than Izaya had thought. Was the thought of dying scaring him?
"We're here anyway," he announced, and with that, he halted the car.
They had reached the hospital.
And to Izaya's surprise, there were none of those creatures anymore.
He had already kind of prepared himself for an encounter with dozens of zombies, all waiting for them, gathering at the clinic, maybe some people having survived and hidden in there.
But honestly, the hospital just seemed empty.
Left behind.
The windows were broken, the doors open.
Nothing was moving in there.
Taking a few steps forward, he approached the front door; it was wide open.
The blond quickly got out of his seat, standing next to the car as he inspected the building. And then Izaya.
He was just walking there- seemingly without the slightest care.
Was he really that relaxed? Had he maybe already acknowledged that one of these creatures was going to get him sooner or later?
He didn´t get it.
How could he be so fearless?
...
Now that he thought about it, yesterday... Shizuo had realized that Izaya wasn´t exactly one that would survive in a survival of the fittest.
... did he realize that himself, too?
Stupid flea...
He would make it so there would never be a reason to burn anyone´s body. He wasn´t going to let the flea just die.
"I still think this is a stupid idea," he mumbled, catching up to the raven quickly. His hands were shoved in his pockets as he kept walking towards the gate, next to the flea.
His eyes were darting around, scanning the windows for any sign of movement.
"And I think I didn´t ask for your opinion." How could Izaya be so stubborn?
And then they stepped into the building.
A long hall was the first thing they saw.
And it got darker the farther it stretched. Shizuo didn´t like this at all.
Almost instinctively, he moved a step ahead of the raven.
"We aren´t going in there," he mumbled, quiet, to make sure no one except Izaya heard him, but the raven just quirked an eyebrow, brushing past the blond.
"Is Shizu-chan scared of the dark? Come on, it´s not like it´s pitch black in there. I just need to get something, then we can leave again." And with that, he started walking into that dark corridor.
Reluctantly, the blond followed his enemy. There was no way he could let him go in there alone. But... somehow, he had a really bad feeling about this.
