Bleeding Love

Iza-chan?

                                        ~Shizuo's P.O.V.~

  I can't believe she's really going to tell me. When we first met it seemed as if she didn't like me. I smiled a little bit. She looked so cute wearing my shirt and even more when she was blushing. Wait! What am I thinking?! I'm twenty-four years old and she is fourteen! That's wrong! I have to stop thinking about that now! I balled my hands into fists. "Shizuo? Are you okay?" I heard somebody say. I unballed my fists and looked at Ashley wearing her normal clothes. I nodded. 

  "I'm fine." I told her. That's another thing I want to know...why is she not running? Is she even one bit scared of .... of a monster...like myself? "We should get going to Shinra and Celty's. Come on." After I told her that she rushed her jacket on and ran infront of me and out the door causing me to run after her. After a few seconds she started to walk like a normal person. "What was that for?!" I asked. She giggled. 

  "Morning workout Shizuo. So, you wanted to ask me some questions?" she asked as she let me take lead since she had no idea where Shinra's apartment building was. I nodded. She took a deep breathe. "I'm only allowing you to ask three questions and if I feel like I shouldn't tell you then I won't answer. Got it." 

"...Fine. Okay...why are you not afraid of me? You're aware of who I am so why aren't you scared?" I asked her. She looked up at me then looked forward. 

  "I don't believe that you're a bad person. If you were then the minute I bumped into that day you would have beat me. Shizuo if there is one that I learned it is that people are going to judge you. But in my case I don't believe anybody should judge anybody until they actually get to know them. You seem like a really kind and carring guy but there's a problem with you other than your anger..." she said. I couldn't believe my ears. Was she really saying this? "And that would be?" I encouraged to her continue. She looked up and smiled a sad smile. "You listen to people too much. They say you are a monster and stuff and you believe them." She was right. The Flea constantly says that I am a brute, stupid, and a monster and even though I hate him, I still believe him. Her wording wasn't perfect but I got what she meant. I'm glad to know that not only Shinra, Celty, and my brotehr along with Kyohei and his gang, think that. I smiled. 

  "Thanks Ashley." I told her smiling a little bit but not to much. 

"Hmmmhm!" she hummed. This girl is so strange. "Your other two questions?" That's right. I almost forgot.

"Right. Why are you looking for the Flea?" I asked.

"The Flea...what?" 

"Izaya Orihara." 

"Why am I looking for Iza-chan...?" she questioned herself outloud calling the Flea...Iza-chan? What? "Because, he is the only one that can help me. I have a few quests for him and I need a place to stay and I can't stay with my cousins." she said. Today, she said the Flea's name like she knew him. 

  "Hm?" I was going to ask her why she had called him Iza-chan but decided against it for now seeing as we were already at Shinra's. I'll ask her when we leave. I knocked on the door only for it to be opened by an overly excited Shinra. 

"Hello you two! Come on in!" He said as he moved out of the way so Ashley and me could walk in. Ashley went straight to Celty. Shinra closed the door and looked at me giving a questioning look. 

"Don't ask. I have no idea why she's in a good mood." I told him. He started pushing me into the glass window covered office making us walk past Celty and Ashley. 

"Shizuo and I are going to chat for a bit." 

"W-what? Shinra!" Before I could object he pushed me into the office shutting the door.
