Shizuo's POV

I walk around Ikebukuro on my daily routine with Tom collecting debt money.  It's not even noon yet and I've already beaten up 7 people.

Seriously, every single one of them gets on my nerves. Well not as much as the flea, he's the worst of them all.

As day turns to night Tom and I part ways then I start to just walk around Ikebukuro. The air starts to smell and I begin to get annoyed.

It must be the flea.

As I walk around more I still haven't found him and it's making me even more annoyed. I want to punch his face in and yell to never come back to Ikebukuro.

Once I feel like giving up for the night I start back home, but get a feeling to look for Izaya a little longer.

I sigh and continue to look. I go to an alleyway and trip over something.  As I look down I see a unmistakable fur trimmed jacket, but no Izaya.

I look around to see if he's nearby and find him sitting against the wall. I go over to him seeing his eyes closed, breathing hard, with cuts and bruises all over his face. It looks like he got into a fight and lost.

I get his jacket, put it on him, then carry him on my back to Shinra's.

What happened to you, Izaya?

Izaya's POV

I walk around Ikebukuro wanting to annoy Shizu-chan, but as I walk I feel someone is following me.

I turn into an alleyway then face the person, well I should say people, following me.

"So what did I do to have you follow me?" I ask.

"Don't play dumb you know what you did to be a threat to our boss Yodogiri." The largest of the bunch says.

"Ah, well it's not my fault that I'm getting better at my job? That just means you're boss isn't as good as he used to be." I tease.

The men start to come closer so I try to take out my switchblade, but stopped by someone behind me.

When did they get there?

The muscular man squeezes my arm making me let go of my switchblade then another one takes off my jacket and throws it on the ground.

"We were told that you keep all of your blades in you jacket so this is just a precaution." The man behind me says.

After that I'm thrown against the wall and the air escapes me. I try to regain my breath but fail when they start beating me. It's starting to get harder to breathe with the constant punches to the stomach and face. As I think they're finished I try to get up, but once I do I'm kicked back down.

I'm thrown against the wall again feeling kicking at my stomach.

My consciousness starts to slip away and the lasting that I can think of is that I'm not going to get to bother Shizu-chan.

Shizuo's POV

I get to Shinra's apartment and when he answers the door the first thing he says is, "Shizuo, what did you do to Izaya this time?"

"It wasn't me, now fix him."

"Okay come in and set him down on the couch." Shinra says and moves out of the way.

I walk in and gently set Izaya down then move out of the way for Shinra. He does whatever doctors do to check up on someone then says, "Well Izaya will live, but he has a few cracked ribs, some spinal injury, and there's a high possibility for some brain damage."

"That doesn't sound good."

"Yeah it doesn't but I promise Izaya will be fine once he's completely healed." Shinra says starting to clean Izaya's wounds.

"Okay..." I say quietly under my breath then stare at Izaya.

Why did I do this?

If I left him there, he would've died. Isn't that what I've always wanted? Izaya, the worst flea ever, dead. With that thought, it kind of hurts to think that.

What the hell is wrong with me?

*Few hours later*

Shinra is finally finished taking care of Izaya and now I'm just waiting for him to wake up.

This is so stressful, I know Shinra said he would be fine but...

I wait a little longer then see Izaya move a little. He slowly opens his eyes and they tiredly travel to look straight at mine.

With one staggering breathe he stutters out, "W-what are you d-doing he-here Shizu-chan?"

"I wanted to make sure you were alive. Also to ask, what were you doing?"

"I-it's none of yo-your business." Izaya struggles to get out while trying to sit up then a sudden flash of pain is shown on his face.

He screams out in pain and I quickly try to calm his breathing down.

Once he's almost completely calmed I say to him, "You need to rest I'll just ask again later."

"You won't give up will you?" He ask panting.

I shake my head then gently lay him back down while saying, "Just rest. You did crack most of your ribs and injure your back so it'll be some time before you recover."

"Why are you so caring?"

"Who knows?"

"Stupid Shizu-chan." Izaya says under his breath then falls asleep.

I sigh then gently kiss him on the forehead. I laugh at myself and think, what am I doing?

I stare at him for awhile longer, I think I don't have to worry about Izaya anymore...

I will protect him.
