For their love is no longer twisted
Ikebukuro, July 24
The dullahan slowly approach her fiance who currently washing some dirty dish after having a nice dinner, his cast already off now and he could walk freely around their apartment although, he still feel a little bit pain when he walk for too long but no doubt that he recovering so fast, long and this make the dullahan felt really happy.
The brunette who realize his fiancee presence stop his hand and face her, a smile slowly forming on his face "Is something wrong, my dear Celty?" he asked with a gentle voice not his usual happy tone but the gentle one, Celty reaching out for her PDA and hesitantly typing something down then shoved it to the brunette.
[I got a job but will you be fine on your own?] it say, the brunette chuckled then turn off the water and turn his body to face Celty "I'm okay, can't you see? I'm a lot better now, thanks to you who nursering me for this past a month" he said [Re-really?] she asked through her PDA
"Yes, so don't worry about me. Beside the one who should worry is me, is the job dangerous? You should turn down the offer if this really dangerous" he said with his usual tone dramatically tone
[Don't worry, it's just a job to deliver some precious document to Chiba. I'm sure, i'll be alright] she typed on her PDA "Is he hasn't contacted you?" ask Shinra, he didn't need to explain who he meant by that because Celty already knew 'who' they were talking about [No, he hasn't contact me. But, from the rumour i heard around the city, that chaosed night Shizuo beat him really bad. Their fight... I don't know how to say it... It's more big than the usual fight they had] she said, the brunette sighed
"He really serious about killing Shizuo, and here i thought he was a smart person. He should already know, it won't be that easy and nearly impossible for him to kill Shizuo beside he just a mere human plus he just use a fucking switchblade to fight Shizuo. Sometimes i think maybe he's really out of his mind to challenging someone like Shizuo" he chatted happily with his usual tone, he try to hide his worry but Celty could see it clearly the worry on his eyes, so she decide to hugged the underground doctor "Celty? What are you doing?" he asked, the dullahan release him then typed something on her PDA
[It's okay, Shinra. Shizuo didn't kill him i'm sure of it but no one know where Izaya is right now, he just vanished from there without any trace. I also asked Shiki and Namie about him but they didn't know about it either, sorry i couldn't help much]
"Don't blame yourself about that, he's really good on hiding himself and if he decide to go hid for some time then no one could find him, even the best informant in this world" he said, Celty shook her helmet and typed something again [What i mean is... There's a chance he's still alive and recovering somewhere out there, he'll be okay Shinra. He's the most thoughest person i know, after all]
The brunette eyes widened when he realize what Celty mean by that, he smiled sadly "Yeah, i know that better than anyone. I'm sure he'll be fine, somewhere in this world" he said, Celty nodded then looked toward the clock [I have to go now, you sure you'll be fine? I could ask someone to accompany you] she said
"No no no" he shook his head "I'm not that weak, Celty. You have to trust me, i'm all fine now and i will really sad if you look down on me like that. I mean, i'm your fiance and that's mean i have to protect you from any danger in this world-" a PDA shoved infront of his face [Alright alright, i get it now. Well, i have to go now] the dullahan rushed toward the done
"Just be careful" he shouted and he sighed when he hear the door closed, he sighed then continue to wash the dish. It's been a week since that chaotic night in Ikebukuro and honestly, everyone seem having their own happy ending and they slowly fix their life, one by one. I believe they will be fine. After he finish wash the dish, he walked toward the couch and sit on it
After a couple minute, he sighed "I guess, i have to find a way to kill some times or just reading some book will be good" he said while walking toward the bookshelf and try to reach one of his favorite psychology book but a book fell down right on his head, he groaned while touching his pained head "I don't know a book could be a danger weapon like this" he mumbled, he look toward the fallen book
"What's this? I never seen this book before" he said then picked the book and sit down on his couch "An album photo? Don't tell me, it's the album of my beloved Celty photo! I want to see it" he exclaimed then opened the book only to find an old photo of his highschool life.
There is a photo of him, Kadota, Shizuo and Izaya. They wear a highschool uniform and the background looked like one of the rooftop they always used on lunch. He looked so happy on it, Shizuo looked he was glaring to Izaya who standing beside him while Izaya put his hand to the blond head and smile widely, Kadota who standing beside them looked like he let out a sigh
"I've never know we have this kind of picture" he mumbled. Shinra know Izaya was just a cocky bastard who keep ruined people live but he couldn't bring himself to hate him, he felt like he couldn't judge him when he's doesn't much better than him beside Shinra know deep inside Izaya, he's really a good person, and Shinra know it.
He just a person who never understand his own emotion, he thinks it could help him to understand his own emotion if he observing human. He just a little kid inside a mature body, he didn't know what enough is. He just like a little kid who keep playing with fire because no one tell him to stop. God, i wish i could be there for him. Maybe i shouldn't introduce him to Shizuo after all, that way maybe just maybe, all of this wouldn't happen.
A sound of knock on the door intterupt him "Who's that?" he muttered while looking toward the front door, the knock keep continue and continue "Okay okay, just wait a minute" he shouted
Stood up from the couch, he walked down the hall toward the door but after a couple step, he suddenly stopped 'What if it's someone bad that planning to hurt me! Argh, i should have ask Shizuo to accompany me. Now i'm terrifying for no reason' he thought
The knock keep continue and getting louder and louder 'I guess i have no other choice' he said as he grab an umbrella and slowly reaching the knob, then he slowly opened the door, slowly but surely he could see the person who standing infront of him, he widened his eyes and he dropped his umbrella "But how?!" he said with disbelief tone
Six months laters...
January, 15
Heiwajima Shizuo, the strongest man in Ikebukuro who everyone feared, currently sitting by himself on Ikebukuro park. Blowing some smoke he keep staring at the blue sky above him 'Peace' is all he could describe about his life right now. Is this good? He honestly don't know, six month ago maybe he will answer 'yes' immediately but now... He don't know anymore
In his life, all he want is to have a peaceful life but he can't have it because of 'him' Orihara Izaya, the infamous informant broker in Shinjuku and Ikebukuro. The one and only person who dare to challenge him, and the one and only person who dare to taunt him, always manipulate people just for fun.
He really hate Izaya, he despise his being and want to kill him. Why?
Because Izaya always messing with him, frame him for murder he never done, got him arrested by the police because a misunderstanding, made him fired from his job because he got rage and lost control, plus Izaya success to made Shizuo have a huge debt to the town because the damage he always done when he's in fight with Izaya. Yeah, that's the reason why Shizuo hate Izaya
But there are a real reason why he really hated Izaya and it's because his smirk, Shizuo really hate that mischiveous smirk and he really want to wipe it from Izaya face. It's kind of weird reason but it's the truth, 'if' Izaya never show him that annoying smirk when they first met in highschool, then maybe... just maybe... They could become a friend or maybe more
The blond shook his head 'Get it together, Shizuo. He's your arch-enemy, you hate him and he's hate you' he thought while leaned again to the bench, well... They are an arch-enemy but for some reason, Izaya hasn't appear in Ikebukuro for six fucking month. At the first, Shizuo thought he just need some time to recover from his wound, his wound from their biggest fight but he slowly doubt that Izaya still alive
Honestly, it was the biggest fight Shizuo ever had in his life and Izaya? Well, he's wounded really badly to the point he might die, Shizuo know about it that's why he never planning to finish him but Vorona intterupt them and attack Izaya with her knife, the attack seem got him more than i think because he immediately fell to the ground with pained expression.
That's when i realize there's weird feeling inside me, like i want to approach him, picked him and we will go to Shinra together and everything will change, that's what i thought would happen however to my surprise, Vorona brought a gun with her and she pointed her gun toward Izaya. It seriously conflicted me at that time, i feel i want to snap the gun from her hand then take Izaya away from there but i can't do that because he's my arch-enemy.
Arch-enemy didn't help each other and they didn't care for each other so i decide to stand still and waiting for opportunity for me to bring him without anyone notice. Lucky me, a light bomb appear so i took the opportunity and runnning toward Izaya, i could clearly see his shocked expression
"Came to finish me, Shizuo" he said try to stay look strong "Shut up, could you move your leg?" i asked while kneel down beside me "Can't you see, you broke my leg and my arm" he said i coop my hand behind his back and behind his leg then lift him "What are you doing?" the raven asked
"Shut up, i just don't want you to die because of me and don't ask me why because i don't know either why i do this" he said then a man around 40 came out of nowhere and look confused "What are you doing?" he asked "I try help him" replied the blond "Let me take him from here" he said, i nodded then handed Izaya to him "Thank you, Shizu-chan" Izaya mumbled, the blond nodded as reply "Um... Thank you for helping" he said then running away with a girl that wear a glasses.
When the bomb effect began to fading i couldn't see Izaya anywhere anymore and that's the last time i sees him, if i think about it again... Why i'm helping him? Why the hell i'm helping my arch-enemy?! I should just kill him right there, but well i don't want to be a murderer but that's not mean i have to help him... Argh, it's really complicated
But still, i'm helping him... The person who i claim as my Arch-enemy, is the same person that i try to help and Izaya say 'thank you' to me. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with me? It's been six month and there's something has been bother me, there's feeling weird feeling inside me, something that i couldn't describe, something that has been pissing me make me more irritated than usual, something i never feel before. 'Maybe i've started to lost my sanity' he thought then chuckled
"Shizuo-senpai, don't ignore me!" he lift his head and see an angry look from his kouhai "Kaede? What are you doing here?" he asked "I'm going to grab some russian sushi for my lunch. Shizuo-senpai itself, what are you doing here?" the girl looked around 20, she have a blond twintail hair and pink coloured eyes
"I'm just enjoying my day off" he say blow some smoke, the girl sighed "Shizuo-senpai really easy to read, enjoying day off doesn't suit you, Shizuo-senpai. Oh, i have a good idea. Why don't we go grab some lunch together?" she offering, the blond silence for a couple second "Okay" he replied while stood from his seat
They walked toward russian sushi "Shizu-o, it's nice to see you. Are you come here to eat some sushi?" greeted a tall black skinned man "Yo, Simon. Shizuo-senpai and i want to eat some russian sushi today" she declared happily "Good good, Kadota and his gang also eating inside. Want to join them?" asked Simon "That's a good idea" said the blond, Simon nodded then lead them the table "Oh, Shizu-chan. What a surprise, what are you doing here?"
For a second, Shizuo thought it was Izaya who calling him but when he look toward the source of the voice, it was just Erika and her gang "We want to grab lunch together, Erika-san" replied Kaede "Oh, long time no see Kaede-chan. Come on, sit beside me and eat with us. You too, Shizu-chan" she said while motion the empty space beside her "Okay" replied Kaede who pulling Shizuo with her
Both of them ordered some sushi and waiting for Simon to come, Kadota cleared his throat "So, are you guys are dating?" he asked, both of them blinked several time Shizuo let out a chuckle while Kaede burst into laugh "Eh? What's wrong?" asked Walker "That's really hilarious, Kadota-san. Me and Shizuo-senpai? No way" she said wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes
"Geez, Kadota. What makes you think that?" he asked "Sorry, guys. It's just you guys really seem that close" he said nervously "Dotachin, you should know that Shizu-chan are waiting for Iza-iza to come back. Shizu-chan only loves Iza-iza" she said "Hah? What did you just say?" asked Shizuo "Oh please, Shizu-chan. Stop denying your feeling toward Iza-iza" she said
Before Shizuo could argue, Simon came with their sushi "Itadakimasu" they said and start eating their food "Ne ne, did you hear the rumour that famous lately?" asked a girl who sit on the table beside them "Oh, that rumour it's about a demon sword that appear in Japan, right?" the other girl said "Are they talking about Saika?" Erika whispered "I don't know, but it's a demons sword we talking about" replied Saburo
"Guys, it's might be just a rumour" sighed Kadota "My uncle who work as police said to me that lately, the police has been discoveries a lot of dead body" the girl continue "It's maybe just some gang or mafia or even Yakuza who did it" said the other girl disagreed "This dead body, their head has been slashed off from their body" the other girl choked their food "Eh? Really?" she asked "Plus, on Yokohama there has been a random shooting there has been a lot victim"
Kadota and the other look at each other "Ne ne, do you think what the girls said is true?" asked Erika as she walk out from Russian Sushi with the other "It's just a rumour so we didn't know if it's true or not" said Saburo "Tch, I have a feeling that my peaceful life will once again be destroyed" the blond growled
"Let just hope that rumour wasn't right" Kadota suggested "Yeah, you maybe right" agreed Saburo "I don't want to die yet. God, please save us" exclaim Kaede "We should go home now" said Erika, but then Kaede realize the light of laser on Shizuo head "Shizuo-senpai, watch out" she said then push the blond until they fell to the ground "What are you-" he was cut off when he sees a bullet hit the pavement
"What the hell happened?" asked Kadota "Get down, everyone. There's someone try to shoot us" warned Kaede, the van gang immediately get down while trying to search where the sniper "What we have to do?" asked Kadota suddenly a scream echoed through Ikebukuro street, when they look to the source they can see a woman lying on the ground while hold her injury leg
"Help help" her boyfriend try to ask for help but he got a shot on his arm "What we have to do?" asked Erika "Shizuo-senpai, could you throw anything toward that building? I could see a sniper from here" said Kaede while pointed toward a certain building "Got it" the blond replied while lift a trash can to the building "Did it work?" asked Erika
"I don't know, but let's get out of here" Saburo suggested "You two, we'll drive you guys home" said Kadota, "What about them?" ask Kaede "They already called ambulance, we have to get away from here" said Walker Shizuo nodded while muttered "Thank you" they walked into the van and drive away from there
On a certain rooftop, a girl looking toward Shizuo and the other through her gun lense, her phone ringing "Sorry, they got away. Don't worry, i will finish this mission" she said then walked out from the rooftop
"Ah, i can't wait again to start this game" said a mysterious woman while looking out from a giant window
Four months later...
Broussais University Hospital, Paris
April, 14
A woman looked around 30 lying on the bed with many machine hooked on her, beside her there's a raven haired male sitting on the chair while holding the woman hand "Sanae-san, please be strong and wake up soon" he mumbled, his phone ringing and when he took a look on it 'Namiko-san' is what written on the screen, he picked the call
"Hello, Namiko-san" he greeted "How's Sanae?" the woman asked from the other side "Same as usual, the doctor already gave up" he said while glance to the sleeping woman with sadly expression "It's okay, she will awake. You have to believe it" said Namiko "Yeah, you right Namiko-san" the raven said
"Just don't push yourself, Izaya. Everything will be alright" she said, the raven hummed as reply while hung up the call, he sighed then walked toward the window. Once again, his phone ringing. He thought it'll be Namiko but he widened his eyes when he sees the one who call him is "Shinra" he mumbled
