Ikebukoro's Shizuo Tree

It was just another normal day at work when Izaya Orihara suddenly jumped out of his seat. "Time to make Ikebukoro a better place!"

You walked up to the psycho. "What are you planning today?" To be honest, many people consider Izaya's plans evil, but he does do some good deeds. I think.

Izaya-chan waved you over to his computer, and the screened showed a picture of a huge evergreen tree. "See that tree? That tree Is located in Ikebukoro Center. Want to decorate it?~"

"Izaya-chan, that tree isn't our property."

"That tree belongs to the city. We live in this city. Why couldn't we decorate that tree?"

"Izaya-chan, I'm not so sure about that..." Besides, you have no intention of stepping out of the house.

Izaya-chan pouted, but after a while, he said. "Fine. You can have the day off today."

"BLESS YOU, IZAYA." You exclaimed as you gathered your items and raced out the door. As much as you want to hang out with Izaya, you simply want to go home today. "Maybe I'll catch that Christmas Sale," You thought.

With that, you ran to find a taxi, and good thing Celty was nearby.

Izaya put his feet up on his desk as he thought about his plan. "I was pretty sure [Name]-chan would help me. Guess I underestimated the human race." After all, his followers usually do whatever he tells them to do. "Oh well!" He exclaimed as he threw on his coat and headed towards Ikeburoko Center.

"Ah, Shizuo-chan! Are you doing some shopping today?" You ask as you spot Shizuo Heiwajima at the Ikeburoko Mall main entrance.

When Shizuo recognized you as Izaya's friend, he automatically turned his head to check his surroundings, probably expecting to see Izaya.

"Don't worry," You smiled. "Izaya isn't with me."

"Tch, it's not like I was looking for him or anything." Shizuo said. "How did you manage to get so close to him, anyway? I can't stand him." The thought of Izaya made Shizuo scowl.

"Eh? I wouldn't exactly call us close. After all, Izaya doesn't seem to consider me a friend."

"I'm not surprised. That brat treats humans as if we were his pawns."

"Well, he gave me a day off today, so I guess I'm happy for that. Are you still working for Tom Tanaka?" You asked.

"Hmm?" Shizuo glared down at you, but not before he took a slow drag from his cigarette. "Yeah, I'm waiting for him right now. He's shopping."

"Why aren't you with him?"

"He's afraid I'll hurt a cashier or a customer or something."

"Oh.... Umm, do you want to go shopping with me? I think you'll be fine."

Shizuo took a deep breath out of his cigarette. "Sure."

With that, you and Shizuo went shopping around the mall. To be honest, Shizuo acted more like a bodyguard than a customer, but at least he's not harming anyone, right?

Izaya dialed a few characters into his phone, and a few minutes afterwards, every cell phone in the area rang. Izaya smirked. Now the whole city can decorate the Christmas tree with him.

"I-ZA-YAAA!!!" Shizuo exclaimed for when you and Shizuo walked past Ikebukuro Center, the Christmas tree was fully decorated and near the base of the tree was a funny, photoshopped picture of Shizuo. Even you had to laugh at the mustache and cat ears.

Izaya laughed and ran away from the angry Shizuo who was chasing him like there was no tomorrow.

You shook your head and facepalmed youself. "I guess some things never change, huh?" You sat down on a bench near the Christmas tree and simply watched as Shizuo hurled a vending machine at Izaya.

Before Shizuo can do anything else, Izaya ran towards you and whispered in your ear. "I'll pick you up later."

"Eh???" You are startled at how close Izaya's face is, but before you can push him away, he was already running down the avenue with a trash can flying after him.

"Yup, some things never change."

The clock stroke 9pm, one hour after Izaya and Shizuo had left, and you're starting to wonder whether Izaya ditched you or not. You took out your cell phone and scrolled through the Dollars Chatroom with boredom. You've been invited to join the group by Izaya a while ago, but you never really gotten a chance to go on it. Well, more like you don't really care about it. After five minutes, you stood up, deciding that it's about time to leave when you bumped into something. You opened your eyes to find a bouquet of flowers in front of you.

"I'm back, [Name]-chan!~" Izaya-chan exclaimed. "Sorry for being so late, it's pretty hard to get away from Shizu-chan, but I lead him into a car accident which slowed him down."

"What..."

"And when I was about to return, I noticed that almost an hour had passed, so I decided to give you some flowers as an apology."

You stared at the flowers in awe.

"[Name]-chan, you're not allergic to any of these, are you?" Izaya-chan asked, although he pretty much knew everything about you already.

You took the flowers into your arms. "These roses are so beautiful... Thank you, Izaya-chan!"

"Now how about we go home?"

"Sure!" You exclaimed as you and Izaya headed down the sidewalk.

"By the way, Shizu-chan didn't do anything to you, right?" Izaya-chan asked.

"No, why...?"

"Oh, nothing..." Izaya-chan turned his head away with a hint of embarrassment.

You gazed at Izaya for a few moments and suddenly decided. "Let's go shopping together one day."

Izaya-chan grinned. "Sure," He said, "But please don't go shopping in a buffet like last time."
