Butlers (Shizaya)

Butlers, Work

Izaya's POV

I run away from Shizu-chan, laughing and teasing him about how he can't hit me or ruin the mansion. I don't know why, but it's so much fun to make Shizu-chan angry.

I go around the corner near the garden, and see a figure to my right. Thinking that it's the master, I try to stop to look like I was running for fun, but I trip, and fall flat on my face.

Landing on the ground, I can no longer see the figure, but I see Shizu-chan catching up to me. I quickly try to stand but Shizu-chan pins me down.

"Well it looks like I finally got you." Shizu-chan says, a little out of breath.

"Yeah, yeah you got me. Now will you get off? You're making my uniform dirty!" I yell at him.

"I think you got it dirty when you fell."

"Please don't remind me." I say, disappointed in myself.

"Okay, but..." Shizu-chan trails off, gets off of me, and then grabs my collar. He picks me up then slams me into the brick wall, and grabs my wrists, pinning me to it. Shizu-chan brings his face to mine and continues "The only reason I followed you here was to punch your annoying face!"

I flinched a little when he started yelling, and then I noticed how close he is to me. Our faces are just inches apart, and I can feel his body heat radiating onto mine. My heart for some reason starts racing, and I can't make it stop.

He doesn't say anything, but lets go of my wrists, steps away from me, and pulls back his arm getting ready to punch. I know it's coming but I'm still trying to collect myself after being so close to him. His fist starts coming toward me as it's in slow motion, but I can't move. I brace myself for impact, but around halfway to me I hear someone yell, "Mr. Heiwajima! Mr. Orihara!"

Shizu-chan's fist stops just centimeters away from my face. The only thing I can think of right now is thank whoever that was calling for us. I think they just saved my life.

Shizuo's POV

I'm close to punching Izaya's face, but I hear someone call out both of our names. I stop centimeters away from his face, and turn to the voice that called out, acting like nothing happened.

I see a small boy named... uh? Crap, I forgot his name. Well, all I know is that he has black hair a little bit lighter than the fleas color, grayish-blue eyes, and looks as though he has a really quite personally. I just can't think of his name and he's a lower level butler, I'm supposed to at least remember the names of the people that work under me.

I'm about to ask him his name but Izaya speaks first and asks the boy "What do you need Mikado?"

Oh, now I remember. Mikado Ryuugamine, he's new, and only been here for around three weeks. No wonder I forgot so easily, but I'm surprised that Izaya remembered his name so quickly. Wait, I can't be impressed by that damn flea!

"Well...um," the boy starts talking, looking nervous, "the master wants you both to come to his office."

"Okay tell him we'll be right there." Izaya says, then walks towards the servants dorm.

"Hey Izaya! Where are you going? The masters office is in the opposite direction!" I yell at him.

"I'm going to change, and make myself look presentable before I see the master."

"Ha! No you're not we need to go straight to the masters office." I say, and go up to him.

"I will when I change." He says and keeps walking.

I grab his collar, and begin dragging him toward the office. He tries to protest and run away again, but I keep my grip on him pretty easily.

All this time while I'm trying to drag Izaya to the master, the boy Ryuugamie, was watching us.

Izaya's POV

We get to the door to the masters office, and Shizu-chan finally lets go of me. I try to get some of the dirt off of me, but it doesn't work very well. I look over at Shizu-chan, angry. He's most of the reason why I have dirt on me right now.

He looks down at me then asks, "What do you want?"

"To know if you dragged me here without cleaning up to make me look bad." I respond, glaring at him.

"Now whatever do you mean?"

"I knew it!" I say to him then whisper to myself "That stupid protozoan."

"What?" Shizu-chan asks and glares at me.

"Nothing, lets go." I say and open the door leaving, him behind.

We go into the masters office, and are greeted by him "Hello Orihara, Heiwajima." he then saw my outfit and asked me, "Orihara, what happened?"

"Oh, uh, I was helping a landscaper carry some things before I came here... I am to be by your side whenever you call as quickly as possible." I say.

"Ah, I see. Well then, if I could promote you any higher I would." The master says smiling, then starts to look serious and says "Now with the topic at hand. Do both of you know why you're here?"

Shizu-chan and I both shake our heads and say "No master."

"Well I was told by one of my old friends that there are is a group that may try to take my daughter away. So I'm going to need every servant not working inside to guard."

This is a big deal. I'm not sure if most of the servants will be okay with fighting. But if there is someone wanting to capture the masters daughter then maybe that someone...

"Sorry for interrupting master..." I speak up "but what you're saying is to tighten up the security and put the non-fighting servants in danger if things turn for the worst."

"Yes." The master says, no tone in his voice.

That's crazy most of the servants here that aren't guards don't fight at all. It's putting most of them in serious danger, and I can't stand for it. But I can't say anything since it'll hurt my impression on the master.

"Okay, then we will inform all of them master." Shizu-chan speaks up.

"Good Heiwajima, I knew I could count on you to." The master says to Shizu-chan then says, "You're both dismissed go on and keep working hard like always."

We both bow to him and leave the room.

When the door closes, I turn to Shizu-chan and say "I need to tell you something."

"Huh? What is it?" He asks confused then says "If it's about your uniform I sear..."

I shake my head then tell him "You might want to tighten security now."

"Why?"

"I saw someone watching us before I fell. Whoever it was it wasn't a servant working here that's for sure." I explain.

"Okay, got it, I'll do that." Shizu-chan says, and we both talk business forgetting our hatred for each other for the time being.

I just hope no one gets hurt, but if anyone gets badly hurt I'm going to have to deal with him...
