Soulmates
Chapter 1: The Beginning of a New Life

In Ikebukuro, many things tend to happen; gang fights, mysterious murders, and chilling legends such as a headless rider. Not many know about much about what goes on in the town of Ikebukuro. But there is one event that happens almost every week. The showdown between the strongest man in town and an infamous knowledge broker. 

Many are wary of the battle that leaves many parts of the city in ruins; as a cat and mouse game is played with two men more powerful than most. One-armed with outstanding knowledge and agility. The other with so much strength that with one or two punches he could level a building.
Shizuo Heiwajima, the strongest man alive and Izaya Orihara, the knowledge broker, are complete opposites. And yet they seem to complete each other in many different ways. They don't see how similar they are; few people do. You can tell that they like fighting each other. Because of the feeling for the adrenaline pumping through their veils. The excitement of the chase. The river of pure unadulterated instinct to give chase and catch the prey. Or the burning warmth of instincts to run towards freedom; to live another day. The push and pull of pure emotions that the chase brings is the soothing movement of the ocean waves on a warm day.  

Inside they both are lonely and scared to be alone but they don't show it on the outside. The moment that they show any type of weakness, they will be hurt again and again. They both hide behind a mask of ignorance and false happiness. Shizuo, who doesn't want to be feared by others and tries to ignore the glances and whispers he hears every time he walks down the street.

While the other, Izaya, wants to stop hiding behind a mask to finally be able to show his true self. But stays hidden behind it so that no one will be able to see; How broken he truly is. Many of the tales of what he has done are false or are told in a way to make him seem to be the one who was the aggressor. But with so many “witnesses” to his crime but no evidence of innocence in his corner, the crime of others falls on his shoulders.

Shizuo, the one who fears his own power because of the inhuman strength that he possesses, that he can’t truly control and Izaya, the one who hides behind a mask to hide the broken child that lies beneath it. Both of them have been hurt many times by many different people until they finally broke down.... almost beyond repair.

Both of them wanting to hide away from cold reality knowing that they can't hide from it forever. If they did try to hide away from reality forever; all they would be doing is leaving themselves even more vulnerable, then they were before. All they ever wanted was to be loved by someone that they could love and trust with their lives as well as their hearts. To love and be loved unconditionally; For someone to be there by their side no matter what happens. To be the one that dares to not fear one's power and see underneath what is shown.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to Love and Beloved in return. "

Because when you fall in love you feel happy. With just one touch from the person you love, you feel amazing. You feel so much joy and happiness that it's hard to want to let it go. When you are loved by someone who loves you for who you are and nothing else. To love you and all of your imperfections; For everything that makes you who you are.

When you're in love, nothing else matters but you and them. You could be face to face with your worst nightmare and you wouldn't care as long as you had them by your side. Yes, there is pain, tears, jealousy, and more with love. But that’s just life. When is life ever fair?

Shizuo and Izaya are meant for each other. Because the moment that their eyes first met. Something within them seemed to have finally clicked into place. Like they finally found the one thing that they had been unaware of that they have been looking for... so many years. The moment that their eyes met was the same moment that their souls recognized each other.

They are old souls, soul-mates that are destined to find each other over and over and over again. No matter what type of person they become their souls will always remember its missing piece. They are two different pieces and together they create a whole. Like a broken heart that's finally been put back together for good.

When will Shizuo and Izaya finally decide to finally listen to their Hearts, to their souls?
Can fate be able to get Shizuo and Izaya together?

Will fate decide to let them be together only to have them be broken apart by someone from their past and have Shizuo fight till the end to get Izaya back in a twisted story of love, deception, and insanity?
