Chapter 10: The Beginning

Never before had Izaya felt the need to smash a laptop to smithereens like she did once she got home. "Why now of all times?" said Izaya out loud, exasperated at the horrible timing. Her source in the Police Department finally succeeded in finding the name of the one who was behind Shizuo's rushed trip to Pushu prison and Izaya could hardly believe her eyes when she saw the name. Even if she would, by some miracle, agree to help with getting Shizuo out it wouldn't be an easy task.
She read the rest of the email and sighed in annoyance at how much the guy was bitching about almost losing his job in the process. She signed into her bank account and sent the guy some extra cash, knowing it was best to keep the guy happy and ready too cooperate again.
She had no proof that the guy she had been looking for was Ogami's father but it was the only possible explanation. The seventeen years old had been raised by his mother alone and he had no idea who his father was. The other four had no connection with any powerful person hence Ogami was the most likely candidate. The teenager had no one registered on the birth certificate as a father so either the man had abandoned the mother before she gave birth or the mother did not tell the man he had a child until recently. A shiver ran down her spine at the thought that she almost ended up being raped by someone so young and she hoped she'd never again find herself in a situation where she couldn't defend herself. Perhaps it was time to acquire a gun...
It took another week before Izaya finally decided to met up with Kasuka and it was strange to see such a calm and previously thought to be emotionless person getting so worked up over something. Then again, he still appeared to be calm to most people but Izaya knew that wasn't the case. She could tell the man was at his limit.
"What have you decided Orihara-san?" he cut right to the subject.
Izaya turned around but didn't sit down. "I'm going to be honest here and tell you that I have the power and the means to get him out," there was a slight pause as Izaya took a deep breath before she continued, "but I don't want him out". She turned around and looked Kasuka in the eyes. "What if he comes after me again?"
"Oriha-" started Kasuka but Izaya cut him off.
"Let me finish," she said. "Until recently I believed that my agility was enough to always keep me safe but your brother proved me wrong. Let's say I need to go to Ikebukuro and I run into Shizuo... what then?"
"Orihara-san, my brother deeply regrets what he has done to you and I believe he would never again hurt you no matter what."
"When he loses it he is no longer the Shizuo you know. He is a monster," she said and shivered as memories flooded her mind. "You only know what he did, but you don't know everything."
"What do you-"
Izaya turned her head and looked away. "It was worse than you can imagine."
"Oriha-"
"No, I don't need you to say sorry again, I merely want you to understand why I can't help you. As much as I hate to admit I'm only human and unless I shoot your brother if he attacks I doubt I could win. I have thought of many ways to pay him back for what he has done to me but I think the fact that he is in prison brings me enough satisfaction to not want to kill him so badly. He might actually be safer in prison since I don't have the confidence to stop myself from killing or at least maiming him if he were out."
Kasuka slumped on the couch, a look of utter defeat etched into his featured. "He's going to die in there."
Izaya snorted. "I doubt it."
"The first time I saw him he couldn't even walk properly and it looked like they had been starving him for days. You should've seen how he drank that cup of water with trembling hands."
Izaya couldn't say he felt sorry for him but she did find it interesting. So the guy who put him in jail was also going out of his way to make him suffer. If that was the case then perhaps Shizuo was really in danger of getting killed.
The moron just had to make the favorite candidate for governor of Tokyo his enemy. Izaya didn't know whether to be happy he'd get killed or angry because she wouldn't be the one to personally end his existence.
----------
Kasuka couldn't remember ever feeling so helpless. It was obvious he couldn't convince the woman to change her mind so he had no choice but to leave. He felt completely lost as he walked the streets and somehow ended up in front of Shinra's apartment building. He went up to his apartment and knocked on the door. Shinra opened it mere seconds later, a look of surprise on his face.
"May I come in?"
"Of course," said Shinra and moved to let him in. "What's the occasion?"
"I somehow ended up here," said Kasuka and sat on the couch before Shinra even invited him to do so. "I don't know what to do anymore and Shizuo is going to die because I'm useless as a brother."
Shinra sat down next to Kasuka. "Don't ever say such a thing again. You're the most important person in his life and he never thought of you as being useless."
Kasuka lowered his head and clenched his fists into his hair. "He's going to die and I can't stop it."
"Whoa, calm down, why would Shizuo die? It's not like he's waiting for a death sentence."
"Someone wants him dead."
"Well, Shizuo does have a few enemies here and there, but that doesn't mean someone is going to kill him."
"That's not it! They're starving him to death in there."
"What?" asked Shinra in concern.
"He was so weak that he couldn't even walk properly and he was so thirsty that he almost choked on the water I gave him while desperately trying to drink it."
Shinra furrowed his brows. "That can't be right."
Kasuka raised his head and looked at Shinra. "Of course it's not right! I can't even get a lawyer to defend him because they all quit hours later."
Shinra was starting to get worried. Sure he was pissed off at Shizuo and he thought the man deserved some kind of punishment for what he had done but he certainly did not wish to see him dead. "I understand now. If what you say is true then Shizuo might really be in danger."
"Orihara-san said she could easily get him out but she refuses to do so because she says she hates him," said Kasuka and paused realizing that it wasn't a good idea to tell Shinra anything in case the man didn't know what had happened, "but she has her reasons and I can understand why she'd want to see him dead."
Shinra nodded. "I understand. I talked to her last week and she told me how you found out about what happened between her and Shizuo."
"You know too?"
"Yeah," said Shinra in a sad voice. "Shizuo himself brought her to me that day. She was hurt badly."
Kasuka lowered his head in shame. "I can't believe he did such a thing. He's a nice guy. He WAS a nice guy anyway, I'm not sure anymore. I haven't even went to see him once the past two weeks. I feel like a monster myself, to have just left him there."
Shinra sighed. "I know what you mean, I feel the same way sometimes. It's not because I can't see him even if I want to but I honestly haven't been in the mood to see him even once ever since that night. He really made me angry. Anyway, I agree with you, we have to get him out. I'll personally talk to Izaya and try to convince her to help us."
"Thank you!" said Kasuka, finally feeling some relief at getting some sort of help.
"Go home and rest, you look exhausted."
"I haven't been able to get much sleep lately."
"Do you want me to give you something to help you with your problem?"
"Yes, I would appreciate that," said Kasuka and Shinra went to get him a few sleeping pills. Kasuka couldn't have been more grateful for the sleeping pills and he was decided to visit his brother after a good night's sleep. Showing up as tired as he was would only worry Shizuo. He could only hope Shizuo was alright because if he wasn't then Kasuka would never forgive himself.
Shinra came back a couple of minutes later and handed him a small plastic bottle. "Only one before you go to sleep."
"Thank you."
"You're a mess," said Shinra. "I'm going to talk to Izaya tomorrow since it's late now, but you have to promise that you'll check on Shizuo for me."
"I was already planning to do that."
"I can't make any promises that I'll succeed in convincing Izaya but I'll try my best," said Shinra and led Kasuka to the door. "Now go rest."
"I will, thank you again," said Kasuka and with that he was gone.
----------
"I personally couldn't care less," snapped Izaya and barely restrained herself from throwing the phone into the nearest wall.
Namie was being annoying again, driving her crazy about how she had a lot of clients waiting and that they were getting impatient, as if Izaya would care about such a trifle thing. She was angry at everyone and everything and the last thing she wanted to do was to help some bastards that probably hated her guts anyway. Oh, Izaya knew that she was not exactly the most loved person around. The doorbell rang and she got up to open the door.
"We need to talk," said Shinra.
Izaya narrowed her eyes in suspicion but allowed both Shinra and Celty to enter. "What is this about?"
"You're not going to like what I have to say but I'm going to say it anyway," said Shinra.
"I can already tell."
"It's about Shizuo," said Shinra and waited for a reaction from the Informant.
"No," said Izaya and turned around.
"Please help us get him out. From what Kasuka told me he's going to die in there if we don't do anything about it."
Izaya turned around, a blank expression on her face. "That's none of my business."
Celty approached her, pad in hand. [ Please, I know that he hurt you but I don't want to see him die. ]
Izaya scowled. "How selfish can the two of you be?"
"He won't hurt you again," hurried Shinra to answer. "We will make sure of it. Please Izaya, help us."
Izaya was about to say something nasty in return but she closed her mouth shut to consider Shinra's offer. She turned around and paced her office, a pensive look on her face.
Shinra and Celty stood there, hoping beyond hope that Izaya would help them but judging by the look on Izaya's face they were hoping in vain.
"I will do it," said Izaya as she stopped her pacing suddenly, her pensive look now replaced by a twisted smile.
Both Shinra and Celty almost didn't want to hear what she had to say next.
"I said I will do it," said Izaya in a cheerful tone.
Shinra and Celty looked at each other, then again at Izaya...
"There must be a catch," said Shinra and unconsciously drew closer to Celty. He didn't want to admit but Izaya was one hell of a scary woman.
"Of course there's a catch, there's ALWAYS a catch."
Shinra sighed. "So what's the catch then?"
Izaya looked at Celty and Shinra almost wished he wouldn't have brought her with him because whatever the request was it had something to do with Celty.
"Celty will be my personal bodyguard for as long as I deem it to be necessary," said Izaya, her lips set into a smirk, "and if Shizuo so much as touches a hair on my head she must give me her word that she will kill him."
"No!" almost screamed Shinra, already regretting coming to see Izaya. "No way, Celty stays with me, as always."
Celty patted him on the back to reassure him. [ I will be fine. We have to do this if we want to get Shizuo out. ]
"No! I won't agree to this!" said Shinra and stomped his foot like a child.
Celty approached Izaya. "I accept."
The Informant smirked and went to sit on the chair behind the desk. "Off you go now Shinra, me and Celty have things to do," said Izaya and almost laughed at the hateful look directed her way. Shinra most definitely did not like to be separeted from Celty but she found it to be a fitting punishment for someone who would betray her like that. Just thinking about getting Shizuo out was betrayel enough, but to ask her to help get him out... it was too much, even if Shinra was her friend... or more like especially since he was her friend.
Her eyes went back to the laptop and she ignored Shinra and Celty arguing, her mind set on getting Shizuo out of jail. She did not like helping the brute but the deal she would get out of it was too good to pass. If she had Celty as her personal bodyguard then no one would touch her or try anything funny. She looked at the info she had on those five scumbags and knew that threatening them would be almost as easy as taking candy from a baby. All they needed to do in order for Shizuo to get out would be to change their statements and say that it wasn't Shizuo who had attacked them that night and Izaya knew just the thing to use against them in order to persuade them.
----------
"Wait here while I go change," Izaya told Celty and closed the door to her bedroom.
Celty stayed where she was, somewhat stunned because of the whole situation. Truth be told she would've rather gone home with Shinra but she couldn't let Shizuo die in prison no matter what the man had done. When it came right down to it, she always liked Shizuo more than Izaya and even though Shizuo had royally screwed up she couldn't abandon him. She had no idea that someone was out to get Shizuo which is why she didn't exactly think much of Shizuo or feel any kind of pity for him being in jail. That was until she found out that Shizuo was in mortal danger; that changed everything. If she really wanted to get him out she could, it wasn't like humans were a match for her, even though the Police made her shiver, but if she got Shizuo out that way then he'd always be on the run and that wasn't something that she would ever want for him.
She looked at the clock and wondered why was it taking Izaya so long to change. She shrugged and sat on the couch, then turned on the TV.
"I'm done," said Izaya as she appeared in the living-room a few minutes later.
Celty sprang to her feet in shock. [ What... what is this? ]
Izaya smirked. "My outfit for today."
[ You're... beautiful. ]
Izaya smirk grew wider. "Thanks Celty, I appreciate the compliment."
[ I'm only speaking the truth, although you're really... how should I put this? ]
"Practically naked?" said Izaya as she turned around to give Celty a better view of her whole outfit.
[ It's freezing cold outside. ]
"I'll be fine," said Izaya and grabbed her coat.
[ Where are we going? ]
"We're going to see human trash number one, aka Ito Hashima."
Celty nodded and followed her out the door.
"I would prefer to ride on your bike if you don't mind," said Izaya and sat on Celty's horse-turned-bike as soon as the Dullahan gave her permission.
Celty followed Izaya's instructions and after a while they stopped in front of a rundown apartment building at the edge of the city. "Wait outside the door and only come in when I call you, alright? Oh, and take my coat please."
Celty nodded and followed her to an apartment at the fifth floor. She hid higher on the staircase and stayed there while Izaya knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" someone barked behind the door and Izaya cringed at the sound, her skin crawling from the mere memory of that pervert's touch.
"Just someone you really want to talk to."
The man cursed but opened the door anyway, only to remain frozen on the spot the moment he saw who was outside his door. "What are you doing here?" asked Ito, his one eye almost bulging out of its socket.
"I just wanna talk, that's all," said Izaya and pushed the door to go inside.
The man was in too much shock to react immediately but as soon as he came back to his senses he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her towards him, successfully stopping her from further advancing into his apartment.
Izaya pulled out her flickblade and shoved the blade into Ito's neck, the man gulping and shivering as the edge of it cut a thin line into his skin.
"W-what do you want bitch?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's no way to talk to a guest. Perhaps I should teach you some manners," said Izaya and kicked Ito in the nuts.
The man doubled over in pain and a malicious laugh boomed inside the apartment as Izaya enjoyed the pathetic display before her. If any of those five human trash would've succeeded in raping her that night then she would've probably never been able to recover from it, thought Izaya. Shizuo was on a whole different level than those cockroaches. Shizuo was a monster and as such whatever he had done to her was simply because at that moment Shizuo had won against her, just how Izaya won against Shizuo when she pinned that crime on him. Sure, the man didn't get sent to jail in the end but Izaya still somewhat won since the whole thing cost Shizuo his job.
"You fucking bitch," growled the man once he was able to talk again, successfully waking up Izaya from her musing.
"Ah right," she said and sat on a chair, "we need to talk about that night; you know, that night when you and your buddies tried to rape me."
The man smirked, even though his face was still somewhat twisted in pain. "You're a fine-looking bitch, what can I say, I couldn't help myself. You looked so goddam delicious that I wanted to fuck you into the ground until you'd scream like the dirty whore that you are."
Izaya's face twisted in disgust and she barely stopped herself from slashing the man's throat.
"Besides, you were asking for it in those clothes," continued Ito with a leer on his face, "and even now you're asking for it. Just look at that skirt, I can almost see your panties, not to mention that t-shirt you're wearing, showing such delicious cleavage."
Izaya had to take a deep breath to calm down, least she wanted to end up committing murder. "I knew you'd remember me if I came to you in this outfit. My face was pretty messed up that night so I wasn't sure you would recognize me."
"You're right, I could remember those thighs even in my sleep," said Ito who finally got up from the floor and took a step in her direction. "Ah, I know, you want to continue from where we left off?"
Izaya waved the flickblade around. "I don't think so. I'm only here to threaten you after all."
"Threaten me?" asked the man, amusement clear in his voice.
"Yes, threaten you. You will go to the Police and tell them that Heiwajima Shizuo is not the man who beat you and your buddies that night."
"Now why would I do such a silly thing, considering I lost my fucking eye because of him!" yelled Ito and pointed at the bandages covering the right side of his face. That fucker punched me so hard that my eye... fuck, I don't even want to think about it!"
Izaya snickered.
"Bitch, get the fuck out or get the fuck into my bed. Your choice."
"You will do as I say."
"The hell I will! You think that I'm scared of you just because of that shitty knife?" said Ito and made a move to take the flickblade out of her hand only to end up on his back on the dirty floor, Izaya crouched on top of him and the sharp edge of her blade harshly pushed into his neck once again.
"And you think I'm weak just because you managed to catch me back then?"
"Yeah, I think you're weak," Ito bit back.
"Then if I'm weak and you just lost to me then that makes you extremely weak," said Izaya chuckling.
"Tch! I still haven't recovered from the injuries that bastard gave me."
"There you go, that's exactly why you five pathetic excuses for human beings succeeded in capturing me that night. I was also injured from a previous fight."
Ito laughed. "What you really meant to say is that you got fucked really hard before we got to you, ain't that right?"
Izaya pushed the flickblade harder into his throat. "That's none of your business. You will change your statement!"
"I already said no, bitch," said Ito and spat her in the face.
Izaya looked at him with a blank expression, then used her hand to wipe away the disgusting saliva off her face. "Celty!"
Celty kicked open the door mere seconds later.
"I'm fine," said Izaya to reassure Celty when she figured the woman must've thought she was in danger. "Can you please hold him down for me."
Ito immediately started to struggle, his fear turning into full blown panic when the shadows coming out from underneath Celty's helmet started immobilizing his limbs one by one.
"What the fuck?! Let me go," yelled Ito, his entire body shaking in fear.
"Oh, this is just my friend," said Izaya and cut one button off Ito's shirt. "She's actually very nice once you get to know her". She cut another button. "You don't want to make her mad, do you?"
Ito's eyes jumped from one woman to the other, his heart clenching in fear at what they had in store for him.
"Be quiet," said Izaya and cut off the last button, "or she'll make you quiet; permanently. Now let's go back to what we were talking earlier before you treated me so rudely. You will change your statement, yes?"
Ito nodded frantically, knowing that he had no choice if he wanted to keep his life.
"Good. Now before we leave I'll give you something to remember me by," said Izaya and started carving into the man's chest.
