Hitomi's POV
He's an informant. Izaya Orihara, there are many good and bad things heard about him. Trusting him will be a big step but I don't really have much of a choice. I had heard about him just by rumors so I made an effort to try and get him to help me disappear. I told him to meet me at Russia Sushi. When I got there I was surprised to see a man in his 20's waiting for me, I'm not sure what I was expecting but I guess I was just thinking he'd be older. He's handsome, I'll admit that much. He has deadly auburn eyes, raven black hair, and he's wearing a short, fur lined, black jacket. He smiles and introduces himself but I can't help but feel like he's mocking me. "Look, Izaya, I need your help."
"So I assumed.~" he says in his sing song voice.
"I'm trying to not be found. So... "
"You don't want me giving out your information." he smirks. "Very interesting."
"I'll pay you. How much?" I ask pleadingly.
"Before I say, take it into mind that you are asking me not to do my job."
"Yes, I realise this. But I need you to do this."
"Alright, if you say so. 100,000."
I gasp at the amount, "What!? Are you kidding me!! 100,000 dollars!!! I don't have that kind of money!!" I scream.
"Hey, I warned you!~" he says holding up his hands I defense. "So if you don't have the money... What do you have? Don't tell me I'm your only option." Izaya pull out his phone and starts typing away whatever it is that's so important at the moment.
"I guess not. You were just kinda like insurance." I shrug. "Sry, to have wasted your time." I apologize.
"Not at all Miss Saito! I'm happy that we've met. But after doing a little digging I can see why you need me so much." he smiles, putting away his phone.
"Huh? Wait, did you just look me up while we we're talking!?!?"
"So maybe I did. Does it really matter? Tell you what!? How much do you got on you now? Perhaps we can make a deal after all." his smile widens and those sepia eyes hold something in them that's terrifying. But seeing as how I'm out of options I bring out my wallet and give it to him. He takes it, pulling out the cash and looking through the rest of my wallet's contents. He chuckles to himself taking out my credit cards and putting them in his pocket.
"Hey what the hell do you think you're doing!?" I say reaching to try and grab them from his pocket. He leans backwards causing an embarrassing mis-aim. My face heats up and I pull back holding my hand protectively.
"Gee, Hitomi, talk about hands on. ~" he teases.
"Shut up!! You know that wasn't what I intended to happen you pervert!"
"How exactly am I the pervert? You were the one getting all hansy!~"
"Just give me my freaking credit cards!!" I yell, this time holding my hand out for them.
"You won't need them. They'll only become a problem. Don't you watch the movies? You never use your credit cards if you're trying not to get caught. So I'll dispose of them. As for the money, you don't travel light. You're lucky you didn't get mugged or this 5,000 would be history. I've come to a conclusion, this is enough for me to provide you info on a great hiding place." he smirks.
"Oh really? Where?"
Izaya pulls out a piece of paper and writes something down, "Call this number, his name is Shinra Kishitani, and his roommate is Celty Sterlison. They're an odd pair but they'll help, just tell them Izaya sent you." I take the phone number and scan over it.
"How odd could they be compared to you?"
"You'd be surprised." he says mysteriously. Izaya stands up and holds out a hand for me but I reject it and stand on my own. "Well, it's been fun. I'm sure we'll meet again." it is a clechè thing for him to say but it felt right. I know that this isn't the last of Izaya Orihara.
After leaving I immediately called the number. The man seems nice and with the way he talks to that Celty girl I'd say they are really in love. He tells me to come over and the details will be worked out when I'm there.
I come to a tall grey apartment building. I go up to their floor and ring the bell, a happy young brunette man with dark rimmed glasses and brown eyes opens the door. "Hi! You must be Hitomi. I'm Shinra come on in." I walk into the hallway, leading into the living room. On the couch is a woman in a black biker suit and yellow cat helmet watching some alien movie. "Hey Celty, this is Hitomi!" Shinra introduces me. The woman jumps and wraps us in a...shadow!?
"What the!?! What's going on!?!!" I scream. It's pitch black in here which is bad foe me cause I don't do darkness. It freaks me out to no end! I feel around and accidentally hit Shinra in the face. "Oh I'm so sorry!"
Shinra laughs, "That's alright. Celty! Its okay! We're not aliens! Can you please let us out?!!" Shinra tries to persuade her.
"Wait? She did this!?" Just as I say that the dark bubble disbands from around us. I'm releaved to finally see light even if it was only gone for 2 minutes.
Celty types on her phone then shows it to me, [Oh I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, you just kinda scared me a bit.]
"Celty, you need to stop watching those shows. All they do is put you on edge." Shinra says with concern.
[I know. Sorry again.]
"Uh what just happened??" I ask confused at the unexplained phenomenon. So they explained, they told me how Celty is a dullahan from Ireland, looking for her head in Japan. Shinra went on blabbering about how him and Celty were undeniably in love and I think that if Celty had a face she'd be blushing like crazy. It took me a moment to process this, Izaya wasn't kidding when he said they were weird.
[So how'd you meet Izaya?]
"I had a job for him but I didn't have enough money, all he could do was give me a place where I can be safe. That being here." I explain.
"Well... Celty looks like you'll be sleeping with me tonight!" Shinra says winking resulting in Celty jabbing him in the side.
I smile at the couple, they are perfect together. "Okay well I'm gonna go crash so thank you do much for this!"
"No problem!" Shinra smiles trying to hold back the pain of Celty's attack.
Izaya's POV
Later I call Shinra to see if Hitomi made it there. "Yeah she's here, she went to bed she was really tired."
"Good, so how'd she react to Celty?"
"Not as badly as some would for how they met. Celty got scared when she walked in cause of the alien show and ended up trapping us in a bubble..."
I laugh, "Haha! I would've loved to see her face! So, you say she didn't react badly? How so?"
"Well she was calmer I guess, she was only frantic when trapped in the bubble. But once we were released she calmed down enough for us to explain. She was surprisingly okay with it and just went to bed."
"Interesting. Huh. This human might prove to be more intriguing than I thought..."
"Izaya, she's a nice girl. Don't go screwing her life up. Whatever she's running from is probably enough."
"I'm hurt that you'd think so low of me Shinra!~" I type on my computer looking up Hitomi's deepest secrets. "And you don't know what she's running from Shinra, so you have no room to talk. Tell Celty hi for me!~" I hang up chuckling. "Well, Hitomi Saito, looks like we'll be having a lot of fun, you and I."
