Shizaya-Seeing Right Through You

Chapter 5

Shinra sighed tiredly as he pulled the warm blanket over the unconscious body. It had taken him hours to get the bullet out of Izaya's head and even longer to make sure he didn't die. It was a miracle that he was even breathing; the bullet hadn't gone directly into the ravens head and had just about rested in the flesh on the side of his head. Izaya was breathing steadily now as he slept off the incredible amount of medication Shinra had given him.

"How is he?" Shizuo asked as be entered the room, he had helped Shinra bring Izaya's half dead body back to his apartment.

"Fine." Shinra said as he moved around the room to gather all his bloody tools.

"Will he live?" Shizuo asked curiously, he moved closer to the unconscious informant and starred down as his sleeping face.

"Do you care or are you just curious?" Shinra asked annoyed at the blonde, he glared at the bodyguard for god knows how long before turning his attention back to his medical tools.

"What was that look for?" Shizuo asked as he looked back at the underground doctor. Shinra didn't answer; he really didn't want to look at the blonde right now.

"Hey, what's your problem?" Shizuo asked angrily, he grabbed the doctor roughly by the arm and spun him around to face him.

"I wasn't the one who hurt him so you don't have to be all angry at me." The ex-bartender said angrily.

"I'm mad because you're here Shizuo, the only reason you were at his apartment in the first place is because you wanted to kill him. Now you're here being all worried about if he's going to live or not? What the hell is that all about?" Shinra rarely ever got angry, but in a state of confusion he really did get pissed off.

"...I'm not worried about him; I just want to see if he'll live. If he doesn't then I'll be fine with that." Shizuo said shrugging like he didn't give a fuck if Izaya died right there and then.

"And that's another reason why I'm mad, you don't even fucking care that he was just trying to commit suicide. I know you hate him and all but you could show a little compassion for him, he has been going through a lot."

"That bastard doesn't deserve any pity from anyone, he's an evil flea and he definitely deserves to die."

"No one deserves to die Shizuo, yes he does bad things but you don't know the whole story behind it. If you knew what I knew about him you wouldn't hate him." Shinra said angrily.

"Oh yea? What else is there to know about him? He's a spoiled brat who tortures anyone he pleases and has a huge apartment that he brags about having to random people on the street. He's also a complete ass-hole who is probably going to burn in hell after he dies." Shizuo grunted in frustration and went back to Izaya's bedside. He would be upset of Izaya died; they had been friend s for so long it would be hard not to care if he died.

"Just leave, you obviously don't care about him...so just fucking leave already." Shinra spat out at the blonde; Shizuo was shocked at this point, he and never seen his friend get so angry before.

"No, you're thinking differently about him and I want to know why you care so much about him? I know he's done some bad things to you and Celty and yet you still care about him?" Shizuo asked curiously as he went to go stand next to the doctor.

"Of course I care about him, we've been friends since we were in kindergarten...and the things he's done to me really weren't that bad and if he was awake right now I'd tell him that I forgive him for everything's he's done over the years."

"Why?"

"Because I know he doesn't mean it, he's just..." There was a long silence between the two before one of them finally spoke up.
