Chapter 16 - A Walk On The Dark Side
Shinra was quietly sipping on a cup of coffee and reading the Dollars chat when a frantic Celty burst through the door, and he could tell from her posture alone that she was panicking about something. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, but couldn't understand her answer because she was typing too fast and showing him the PDA for less then a second before removing it and starting all over again. "Celty!" he shouted her name when he couldn't get her attention, and then grabbed her wrist and held onto it tightly. "Look at me!"Celty stiffened before letting herself drop to her knees in front of him. [ I'm sorry... ]
Shinra squeezed her shoulder gently. "Now tell me what's wrong."
[ It's about Shizuo! ]
Shinra's grip on her shoulder unconsciously tightened. "I already told you, I don't care what happens to him," he hissed and removed his hand when he realized that he was holding onto her shoulder too tightly. Not that he could hurt her, but still, it wasn't right. "Sorry, I didn't mean to take it out on you."
[ Shizuo was crying! ]
Shinra's eyes widened in surprise. Ok, that was unexpected, he thought, because he couldn't remember ever seeing Shizuo cry.
[ It's Izaya! He did something! ]
Ah, so Izaya started taking his revenge, he thought with a bit of satisfaction, and he couldn't help but wonder what could Izaya have possibly done to make Shizuo cry. Celty was upset over it though, and he hated that he couldn't tell her why he crossed Shizuo off the list of people he somewhat cared about. "Have you ever stopped to consider that perhaps Shizuo might've deserved whatever it was that Izaya did to him?" said Shinra as he folded his arms in front of his chest. "Shizuo is a bastard."
[ Izaya did something to Kasuka! ]
Shinra narrowed his eyes. "What did he do?"
[ Earlier he called me and told me that he had a job for me, so I went to his apartment. When I got there, he said that all I had to do was to deliver a package, and then he led me inside and pointed to Kasuka's unconscious form. ]
Shinra felt a shiver run down his spine, the thought of Izaya doing something to Kasuka making him nervous. Shinra didn't care about humans in general, but he had a soft spot for Izaya, Shizuo and Kasuka. He used to run into Kasuka quite often when they were children, so he ended up caring ― in his own twisted way ― about that apparently emotionless human being. He almost didn't want to know what Izaya had done to him, but Celty's PDA was shoved in his face again, and he had no choice but to read the text there.
[ Kasuka was hurt so badly! He was covered in bruises and his right wrist was broken! ]
Shinra's expression turned grim. Izaya's right wrist was also broken that day. Izaya, what exatly did you do?
Celty continued when she saw that Shinra wasn't saying anything. [ And he was wearing Izaya's clothes! ]
Shinra grit his teeth. This doesn't sound good...
[ I asked Izaya what was going on, but he refused to tell me, and then he asked me once again to take Kasuka to Shizuo's apartment. ]
"How did Izaya look like?" Shinra asked, his whole body tensing, fingers digging into his own arms.
[ Who cares about that freak?? ]
"I do!"
[ He's a monster! ]
"Just answer my question!"
Celty tightened her hold on the PDA as she typed. [ He looked pale. ]
Shinra got up. "I'm going to see Izaya."
[ Shizuo and Kasuka are the ones who need help, not Izaya! Please come with me to Shizuo's place! ]
Shinra glared at Celty, really hating the thought of seeing Shizuo again, but knowing that he had to do it if he wanted to check on Kasuka. "It's better if I talk to Izaya first," he said and moved to grab a small first aid kit he kept on hand for emergencies.
Celty followed after him, smoke seeping from underneath her helmet, a clear indication that she was furious. [ What about Kasuka?? ]
"First Izaya, then Kasuka," Shinra said, and Celty followed him out the door.

Izaya was in the middle of pouring himself another glass of sake when he heard the doorbell ring. He raised tired eyes in the direction of the door, accidentally spilling some of it on the glass table. He chuckled at the mishap, set the bottle down and took the glass with a shaky hand, completely ignoring whoever was at the door."Izaya, open up!" he heard Shinra shout from behind the door.
He stared blankly ahead for a while before he raised the glass to his lips and drank the sake in one go.
"Open the damn door!"
Izaya cringed, the ringing and the banging grating on his already fried and crushed to fine dust nerves. He took the bottle and poured himself some more sake, and then giggled when Shinra banged on the door hard enough to hurt himself, the string of curses following that last bang a clear indication of what just happened. What an idiot, he thought as he drank some more of that expensive sake. He always had a couple of bottles of alcohol lying around the house in case he needed to celebrate a well done job with a satisfied client. He didn't usually drink, because he liked to have a clear mind, but at that moment, all he wanted to do was to forget, the events of the day bringing back horrible memories he didn't want to remember.
"What the hell Izaya?" yelled Shinra all of a sudden from inside the apartment, startling Izaya hard enough to almost make him lose his grip on the glass.
"Did you just break into my apartment?" Izaya asked, amusement clear in his voice.
Shinra stomped towards the corner couch and took a seat far away from Izaya so that he could observe the man better. "To answer your question, Celty opened the door for me."
Izaya's eyes turned in the direction of the door. "I had no idea that she could use her smoke like that."
"I told her to wait for me downstairs," continued Shinra just as he put down the first aid kit. "You don't look hurt," he said matter-of-factly.
Izaya jumped straight to the subject. "Why are you here?" he asked with a frown on his face.
Shinra shifted nervously for a while.
"Well?"
Shinra sighed. "What did you do?"
Izaya chuckled darkly and drank some more sake before finally answering. "I've done some really bad things."
"Izaya..."
"You've known Shizu-chan for far longer than I have," he stated, red eyes fixed on Shinra's tensed form, "so tell me, have you ever seen him cry?"
"No, never, not even when he was in a lot of pain because of his broken bones."
"That means that I'm the only one who succeeded in making Shizu-chan cry," said Izaya before pouring himself another glass of sake. "I feel special!"
"You're special all right..." said Shinra frowning.
Izaya giggled. "You were insulting me just now, weren't you?"
"I would never," said Shinra with a fake smile on his face, his eyes taking in every detail of Izaya's hunched form. Something about him was off, the sagged shoulders and haunted eyes a sign that whatever Izaya did was not something he had enjoyed doing. The man obviously didn't want to talk about whatever he did, and Shinra didn't know how to go about it in order to make him talk. Perhaps he could talk about something else, and then go back to it once Izaya relaxed a bit. It was worth a try. "You look better," he said.
Izaya giggled. "Yeah... well, I can eat now, no thanks to you. That brown rice was truly horrible!"
"Will you ever stop mentioning that rice? It wasn't that bad!" the doctor snapped, cheeks slightly flushed in embarrassment.
Izaya raised his head and looked him straight in the eyes. "Shinra, listen to me."
"Huh? Ok, I'm listening."
"Your cooking is terrible!" said Izaya and burst into laughter. "I'd rather starve to death! Well, I was starving to death that time, and I still couldn't eat it."
"Now you're just being a dick," mumbled Shinra as he glared at the obviously drunk man.
"It's ok though, I'm eating now, so don't worry about it anymore," said Izaya while staring at the glass in his hand as though the sake inside held all the secrets of the universe.
"You don't look like a walking corpse anymore, so I'm not worried about it. I can't however say the same thing about your mental state. Something is wrong with you, isn't there? And it has something to do with Kasuka and Shizuo."
Izaya threw Shinra a glare before he went back to staring at the alcohol. "I see your monstrous girlfriend has already informed you."
"She's worried about them..."
"Kasuka will live," said Izaya softly, his voice trembling a bit.
"Please, just tell me what you did!" pleaded Shinra.
Izaya chuckled darkly. "It's a long story."
"Start with the beginning," suggested Shinra.
Izaya looked him in the eyes for a while without saying a word.
"Please..."
Izaya smiled. "All right, if you insist!"
Shinra smiled back, wanting to reassure his friend.
"Do you remember that day when Shizu-chan showed up at your apartment?"
Shinra nodded.
"Well, that day the Awakusu-kai paid me a visit and asked me to find some spies, like I was some pathetic human being they could order around! Ahh ha ha ha!"
"Oh, so that's how you got the broken rib."
"Yeah, I pretty much told them to go fuck themselves, and let me tell you, they didn't seem too happy about it!"
"Of course, they aren't people you should mess with. The one who hurt you wasn't Shiki though, right?" he asked, hoping that the man he trusted with the key to his apartment wouldn't do something so low as to hit an injured person.
"It was Aozaki."
"Oh, ok, good."
Izaya shot him a glare.
"I meant that I'm glad it wasn't Shiki, that's all!" said Shinra, hands raised in a placating gesture.
Izaya sighed and drank some more sake. "Right... anyway, they left me Slon's number, so after the little run-in I had with Shizu-chan, I decided to use the Russian assassin to take my revenge on him. Ah, Shizu-chan made me so angry that day, daring to apologize to me like that would make everything better..."
Shinra was starting to get worried. It was a bad idea to deal with assassins in general, especially the Russian ones, and it made no sense that Kasuka got beat up instead of Shizuo ending up with a bullet through his head. "What does this have to do with Kasuka?" he finally asked.
Izaya giggled. "Patience, my dear Shinra, patience. Do you know the saying 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'?
"Of course," answered Shinra. "Everyone knows it."
"Shizu-chan didn't know it! Stupid protozoan!"
"Shizuo didn't kill you, so what's with the assassin?"
"I didn't take the Awakusu-kai's job in order to get Slon to kill Shizuo, that would've been too easy! I wanted Shizu-chan to cry tears of blood, so I used Slon to hurt Kasuka," Izaya said, laughing brokenly. "It wasn't easy though, but I knew that once Slon got obsessed over something, he couldn't go on living without finding the answer, or without trying that something out."
"Don't tell me you―"
"So one day I asked him if he'd like to fuck Hanejima Yuuhei," said Izaya and burst into laughter.
"Iza―"
"That brute was sooo against it in the beginning, but the more we talked about it, the more he wanted to do it, and soon enough it got to the point where he couldn't go on living if he didn't find out how it would feel to fuck Hanejima Yuuhei. He told me so! It only took a bit over a month to play him into doing it, but it was totally worth it, even though I had to work for the Awakusu-kai during that time."
Shinra paled at the implication and sprang to his feet, his body overwhelmed by the need to punch Izaya in the face. He only managed to take one step before he froze in his tracks, a gun now pointed straight towards his chest.
"This is close enough," said Izaya, frowning. "I'd really hate to shoot my only friend."
When did he even pull that gun out, thought Shinra horrified. Better yet, from where did he even get the gun?
