Izaya barely had any energy to move but she didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer. As soon as she was out the room she went around the hospital looking for some clothes she could snatch from one of the doctors. It didn't take her long to do so and when she did she quickly changed. She couldn't wait to get home and burn the monster's clothes personally. She could hardly stand carrying them around, especially when they smelled so much like him. This time no one stopped her as she walked down the streets and after what seemed like forever she finally got home. Only then did it hit her that she didn't have her keys but she knew that Namie was in there so she knocked on the door. "Open up me Namie, it's me Izaya." She couldn't help but be surprised at how far gone she had been the night before if she didn't even realize she didn't have her keys.
When Namie opened the door her eyes slightly widened at the sight of Izaya's injuries but she quickly recovered and walked back inside.
"Aren't you going to ask what happened?" said Izaya.
"It's none of my business."
"I see. Take the day off. I need some time to clear my head. Also, cancel all my meetings with clients for the next 2 weeks."
"That's not a very good idea. They won't be too happy about it."
Izaya sat down on the couch. "I don't really care, just do what I said."
"Fine!" said Namie and turned around to make the phone calls before she left.
Izaya got up and rushed to her room from where she grabbed some clothes to change into then ran to the shower. As soon as she was in the bathroom she took off the stolen clothes and threw them on the tiled floor. She turned on the water and sat down in the bathtub, a sigh escaping her lips as her sore muscles started to relax. She winced a bit as some injuries hurt but she really needed a bath so she tried to ignore the pain as much as possible. She stayed there for a while, just trying to calm down, until her thoughts went to Shizuo and she cursed him again. Her head hurt so much that she could hardly think, but it was to be expected considering how many times her head came in contact with a hard surface in less than twenty-four hours. The fear that Shizuo might give away her name and tell them what happened almost made her dizzy. Shizuo deserved to be punished but not if that meant people would find out what happened to her, to Orihara Izaya. The thought alone was mortifying.Unable to sit around any longer without knowing what exactly was happening she quickly washed up, dressed and got out of the bathroom. To her surprise, Namie was still there. "You haven't left yet?" asked Izaya.
"I will now, I just finished making the calls. Also, I ordered some fatty tuna for you, I left it on your desk," she said, then got up and made her way to the door.
"Whoa, it must be the end of the world or something," said Izaya, amusement clear in her voice.
"Tch! I figured you might want to eat something. I didn't poison it today if that's what you're worried about."
Izaya smiled. "Ohhh, so you do poison my food any other day."
"Who knows..." said Namie and left.
Izaya was grateful that Namie was her regular self since the last thing she needed were looks of pity from those around her, and the fact that she had ordered fatty tuna made Izaya smile. It felt good to finally be home. She sat at her desk and grabbed a piece of her favorite food, then frowned. "This is going to be a very long day..." she said out loud then jumped out of her seat as someone banged on the door.
"Izaya, open up! I know you're in there!"
Izaya stiffened when she recognized Shinra's voice. She wasn't ready to see him yet, not so soon after he... after he saw her like THAT, so weak and powerless.
"Izaya!"
Her hands clenched into fists.
"Open up or I'll have Celty break through the door! I know you're in there, I met Namie on my way here."
Izaya rose from her chair and walked to the door on shaky legs. As much as she didn't want to see anyone she knew she had no choice but to open unless she wanted her apartment to lose the door. With a trembling hand she turned on the lock and opened to door, catching Shinra with his fist in the air as he was about to bang on it again. His eyes widened slightly and in the next second he flung himself at Izaya and hugged her tightly. "Oh God, I was so worried about you, I thought-," then he suddenly stopped his rambling and immediately released her when she felt her stiffen within his arms. "I'm sorry," he said, his eyes filled with sadness. " I didn't mean to hurt you. I know I shouldn't have touched you."
Izaya's eye twitched in annoyance. The idiot was treating her like she was made of glass, and that was exactly why she didn't want to open the door in the first place. She sighed dramatically and finally spoke: "My shoulder is sore, that's all, don't worry about it."
Shinra scoffed. "Right, your shoulder... if only!"
"Tch! You're being annoying. I'm fine! You can leave now," she said and waved a hand dismissively, then went back to her desk.
"Izaya, please!"
Izaya glared at Shinra, her wild eyes almost making him shiver. "What Shinra? WHAT?!"
"You're not FINE," he said through clenched teeth. "You're anything but fine. What happened? Why did you disappear in the middle of the night?"
There was only silence.
"Oh God, did Shizuo... again... Izaya!" he yelled and slammed his fists onto the desk. Izaya flinched at the sound, which made Shinra suddenly feel extremely uncomfortable at seeing her do that. Izaya wasn't supposed to EVER react like that. "I'm sorry," he finally said, "I'm really sorry."
"It not your damn fault!" snapped Izaya. "Stop apologizing. Stop it please, just stop it."
Shinra winced at her words. "Alright, I understand."
Izaya almost felt guilty for being so hard on him when it was obvious he was only worried about her. Shinra was quite the mystery with his care for her because Izaya knew for a fact that Shinra did not love humans. Then again, perhaps Celty and Izaya herself were special to him. The man took a knife to the gut for her in high school, and if that wasn't proof that he cared in some form on another, then what was?
Shinra sighed dramatically and sat on the couch. "What happened to that idiot? I sent Celty to his place earlier. She should be there right about now."
Izaya snickered.
Shinra quirked an eyebrow. "What's so funny?"
"Well," said Izaya and grabbed another piece of the fatty tuna Namie had ordered for her, "the idiot was taken away by the police."
"What?" Shinra screeched. "How? Why? Wait, did you-"
"No, not because of me."
"Then why?!"
"After I left your apartment last night I was attacked," said Izaya and took a deep breath before she continued, "but then Shizuo showed up and beat them within an inch of their lives."
Shinra smiled. "That's crazy, Shizuo saving you and all that."
"He even told me he was sorry," said Izaya, a malicious grin almost splitting her face in two, "but not nearly as sorry as he'll be when I'm done with him."
Shinra kept shifting nervously on the couch. Shizuo wasn't just anyone; he was one of the few people he actually gave a damn about. He hated how the only two people he could call friends ended up hurting each other. It made him feel uncomfortable. Shizuo had indeed hurt Izaya in a way that he shouldn't have but Izaya shouldn't have poked the sleeping tiger that was Shizuo. She knew very well his volatile nature but instead of keeping her distance she did everything in her power to drive him mad. The angrier Shizuo would get, the more Izaya enjoyed it. He could only hope there was some way to mend this without one of them killing the other. Shinra's eyes wandered to Izaya again. "Maybe he really is sorry," he said and the angry glare sent his way almost made him jump out of his skin.
"That is irrelevant," said Izaya and started spinning in her chair. "I'm going to make him wish for death before I'm done with him."
The dark chuckle that left Izaya's mouth made Shinra shiver. He got up and approached her desk, then pulled a small plastic container out of his pocket. "Here," he said and placed it on her desk, "you'll need this."
Izaya stopped spinning and glared daggers at both Shinra and the small container placed on her desk.
"You're welcome," said Shinra when he noticed Izaya was refusing to talk to him any longer, then turned around and left. As soon as Shinra was out the door he called Celty and told her to stop looking for Shizuo because he had been arrested. He could almost see her wince at the news, knowing full well how much the police frightened her. Shinra found the whole thing quite silly considering Celty was a Dullahan who wouldn't die even when shot. He couldn't wait to get home to his beloved but before that there was someone he had to see and he knew exactly where to find said person. He headed down the streets of Shinjuku and didn't stop until he arrived at an old factory. There was a swarm of people there and Shinra briefly wondered if he would be able to find him. "I need your help sir!" he said to the first bodyguard he ran into.
"What do you want?" the man nearly growled, obviously trying to intimidate Shinra into backing off.
"I'm and old friend of Yuhei Hanejima, can you please tell him I have to see him? It's quite urgent. My name is Shinra Kishitani."
The man almost looked amused. "Yeah right."
Shinra grit his teeth, already at his limit. "It concerns his brother Heiwajima Shizuo, so I would really appreciate it if you would stop being a dick and go fetch Yuhei for me."
The man's eye twitched and Shinra briefly wondered if perhaps he had gone too far.
"Hanejima-san is filming, so he can't meet with anyone right now."
Shinra snapped. "That's exactly why I'm here! He always closes his phone when he's filming so I can't reach him!"
"That's none of my concern, please leave!"
Just then Shinra saw Kasuka somewhere in the distance and started calling his name from the top of his lungs.
The bodyguard immediately tried to silence him but luckily Kasuka heard the commotion and headed his way.
"What's the problem?" Kasuka asked the bodyguard just as he saw him tackling someone to the ground.
"Ughh," Shinra moaned in pain from underneath the burly man. "Heeelp! It's me, Shinra."
"Hanejima-san, do you know this man?"
"Yes, please let him go."
Shinra was hauled to his feet and the bodyguard dusted him off as an apology for the whole thing.
"Ca we go someplace private? It's about Shizuo."
Kasuka's eyes widened just a bit and that was the most emotion Shinra had seen on the man's face in a very long time. Kasuka was an amazing actor, but his acting skills were a contrast to his usual self who seemed incapable of emotions. Shinra knew better though, Kasuka loved Shizuo, he just had a hard time expressing his feelings.
"What has my brother done now?" Kasuka finally asked when they were alone, his face an emotionless mask.
"He's in jail, and I believe he will stay there for a long time," he said and he could swear he saw Kasuka's hand tremble for a second but he couldn't be sure his eyes hadn't betrayed him.
Kasuka looked straight into his eyes. "Why?"
Shinra winced a bit at the question. It was not his business to tell him what happened, since neither Shizuo nor Izaya would appreciate it, but Shizuo needed his brother's help. "He got arrested for beating up five men," Shinra finally said.
"My brother beats up people all the time, so why is this time any different?"
Shinra sighed. "It seems these guys were hurt pretty badly."
"I know that Shizuo loses control easily but it looks to me like there's more to it than you’re letting on."
Shinra bit his lip but kept quiet.
"There is much more to this than you're telling me, isn't there?"
"I'm sorry, but you're going to have to talk to Shizuo about it. I gotta go now, see ya," said Shinra, waved good bye then left a stunned Kasuka behind.
The perception of time being relative was something that Kasuka couldn't stop thinking about. As he kept looking at his watch every few minutes, he couldn't help but wonder if the universe was conspiring against him to make the filming last longer than usual. Each time the director asked them to do a scene all over again he would get so nervous and twitchy that even his co-workers ended up noticing that something was wrong with him. When asked about it he would simply brush aside their concerns, saying that nothing was wrong and that he was merely tired. Judging by their suspicious looks, they didn't quite buy it. Kasuka didn't care though, and as soon as they were told the filming was done for the day he rushed straight to the Police Station. He hoped to relax a bit once he'd be able to see his brother but he was shocked to find out that his brother had already been moved to the Pushu Prison where he was to wait for his sentence. No reason was given as to why this happened.
Kasuka wasn't one to feel strong emotions, because to him they felt numb, and yet, as he was told his older brother had been sent to jail he felt a really strong pain in his chest. He didn't like it; he wasn't used to feeling that way, and he immediately concluded that if feeling emotions like the rest of humanity was so painful, then he was better off without. He knew that his brother getting sent to jail so soon after his arrest was not normal; he needed information, and there was one way to get it. He pulled out the phone from his pocket and went through the numbers he had in the phone's memory to find one he hadn't used in a very long time. He put the phone to his ear and waited for Orihara Izaya to pick up. She didn't though, and Kasuka wondered if perhaps she had changed her number in the meantime. Slightly irritated, he ended the call and got up, his two bodyguards following suit.
If he couldn't get in contact with Izaya then he would go to the person who certainly could. His brother and Izaya hated each other, he knew as much, but both of them were friends with Shinra Kishitani. He could've called him but he thought that talking face to face was a better idea. Once the car pulled in front of Shinra's apartment he told his bodyguards to wait outside while he went in and knocked on the man's door. The door opened and Kasuka was met with the sigh of a very surprised Shinra.
"What are you doing here?"
"Can I come in?" said Kasuka instead of answering his question.
"Of course, please come in."
Kasuka went inside and sat on the couch. "My brother was taken to Pushu prison," he said before Shinra even had a chance to sit down.
"What?! Why?" asked Shinra with a shocked expression on his face.
"They didn't tell me why."
Shinra finally sat down. "That's strange."
Kasuka's fists tightened in the material of his jacket. "I was hoping you'd give me Orihara Izaya's number since she's the only Informant that I know."
Shinra's expression suddenly went really dark, something that Kasuka didn't miss.
"Shinra...?" he called his name when the man seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.
"Ah, I'm sorry," he said and forced a smile on his face. "It's better to leave Izaya out of this."
"I know she hates Shizuo but I'm willing to pay however much she asks," said Kasuka.
Shinra shifted nervously. "Your brother and Izaya had a really nasty altercation recently, so I don't recommend involving her in this situation."
Kasuka sighed and let go of the hold he had on his jacket. "I know very well how much they hate each other but I also know that Orihara Izaya takes her job seriously and that she wouldn't let something like her hate for Shizuo get in the way of a well-paid job."
"You'd be surprised," said Shinra with a frown on his face.
"Even if you say that I don't know what else I can do," said Kasuka, exasperation clear in his voice.
"I'll look into it. Izaya might be the only Informant you know, but I know a few others besides her," said Shinra with a smile on his face, trying to reassure Kasuka.
Kasuka didn't look reassured though.
"I'll call you as soon as I find something," said Shinra.
Kasuka nodded and got up. "I'll leave my phone on during filming too so don't hesitate to call me."
Shinra got up as well, put his hand on Kasuka's shoulder and looked straight into his eyes. "Don't worry, I'm sure Shizuo will be fine, he always is." He led Kasuka to the door then went back and collapsed on the couch, wishing Celty was there so he could hug her tightly until he'd feel better, even though she would probably smack him for even trying. He sighed and closed his eyes, knowing too well that nothing was going to ever be the same again when it came to his two annoying friends. He was worried about Izaya, and he couldn't help but wonder how she was doing.
Unknown to Shinra, Izaya wasn't feeling well at all. After Shinra had left, Izaya went online to check if there was any information on Shizuo's arrest. She didn't find anything, but she wasn't really surprised. The Dollars chatroom was also quiet. She tried to eat the fatty tuna, she really did, but she started feeling sick after the third bite. Pain flared in her backside and she got up, wanting nothing more than to lie down. She slowly walked to her room on shaky legs and then crawled under the covers. She felt really cold and she couldn't stop shivering. A sob escaped her sore throat as images of the day before plagued her mind. She knew she was safe in her bed, inside her house, yet she was still afraid. Izaya had never been afraid before so the feeling felt foreign and suffocating. She had worked hard to rise to where she was, only to get brutally slammed back down by Shizuo. That was a scary thought in itself. She knew he was unpredictable, so why was she surprised that Shizuo had raped her? She cringed at the mere thought of the word 'rape' and she made a mental note to not even think about it anymore.
There was no doubt she would get revenge for what she had been forced to go through but she needed to find a way to punish Shizuo from a safe distance because she doubted she could ever again stand before Shizuo without feeling physically ill. The fact that Shizuo could best her had never entered her mind before. She had always been sure that her intellect could win against Shizuo's brute strength. She should have known better. She curled in on herself tighter and stayed like that, barely able to suppress the urge to empty the contents of her stomach.
She'd been into fights before so when Shizuo had started throwing kicks and punches at her inside the warehouse she didn't think much of it. Getting her ass kicked once in a while was something Izaya had come to terms with over the years. Izaya knew she was a good-looking woman so she always made sure to hide much of her beauty in order to not tempt the men she had to deal with when working. The possibility of getting assaulted had crossed her mind when she started her business and that was exactly why she cut her hair short and wore baggy clothes, but then there was Shizuo and his accursed strength. The moment she had lost her flick blade she knew she had lost to Shizuo, but she never could have imagined what would happen afterwards. Shizuo had treated her horribly, as though she was nothing more than an object. He made her feel weak and powerless... used. The first time Shizuo had taken her had been a traumatizing experience, but the monster didn't stop there, no, he went and took her again, like a beast. Izaya had no doubt that Shizuo would've taken her at least one more time if she didn't tell him she had been a virgin before he had taken her so savagely and that was what made Izaya furious. So what if she had been a virgin before? Why apologize to her because of that? Shizuo was a god damn hypocrite if he thought it was alright to rape Izaya if she was a whore, but wrong if she was a virgin. It made no sense to her.
She cringed, remembering how she said never to use that word again and she absolutely HATED the fact that Shizuo had been the one to save her from those assholes she had ran into. She cursed and cursed Shizuo for a long time until finally succumbing to a feverish sleep.
