Time to Heal [9.5/?] anonymous March 22 2011, 02:41:29 UTC
A/N: uh...I don't know why 9 is linked like that, or if 9.5 will get linked like that either. I thought I replied to the first part with 8...fuu-I'm so confused. I'm sorry, but it's anon and I can't edit it! D:

Izaya blinked, throwing him a little off-guard. He was waiting for the blonde's usual tirade of outspiraling emotions. “Wow, this incident really has got your guard up~” he sang. “You're so interesting, Kida-kun~”

“I want to talk to the Black Rider.” He repeated, moving to lock eyes with the broker. “Where are they?” Izaya moved his hand and opened the door to the staircase. “Transporter, he wants you.” He said, skipping out into the hallway.

Celty tilted her helmet but moved into the staircase where the familiar blonde was. /Kida-kun?/ she asked. /You wanted to speak with me?/

Kida looked up at the dark figure. “Yes...I figure you may be a bit more honest than Izaya.” He answered softly.

/Okay, shoot./ Celty responded back.

“What exactly did Mikado say to you?”

Celty took a minute before typing back a response. /He wanted our help to figure out what had happened - to get you back to your old self, so to speak./

“And that's what Izaya is for.” Kida said, looking up at the black rider. “So...what was your part?”

/Well...it was also to gain information as well, but.../

“but...?”

-

Mikado looked up at his two elders, “Masaomi cannot know about this. I don't need him worrying about the rapist finding him or coming back. If you happened to find the rapist - don't attack him. You can put a little scare in him. Izaya-san with your...words and blade and Celty-san...with just you, in general. Leave the attacker to me.” Blue eyes flashed with determination up at the two, “Understand your jobs?”

Izaya grinned playfully, nodding. “This should be fun, Mikado-kun~ Always a pleasure doing business with you.”

Celty simply nodded, /Understood./

-

Celty lowered her head, shaking it. /It's confidential./

Kida frowned, he didn't understand why everyone was keeping things from him. This was his rape case, wasn't it? Why didn't he get to know anything with this underground investigation that was going on? He pushed past the headless rider to find Izaya and Mikado on the other side, pressed up against the wall. It would've seemed comical if the situation hadn't been so serious.

“What the hell is going on, Mikado?” Kida said softly. “Why are Izaya and the Black Rider always with us all of a sudden? I don't need you guys to do an underground investigation for me.” He replied, his voice shaking. He could take care of himself. No, he couldn't. Isn't that why so many people were trying to take care of him now?

Mikado opened his mouth to retort, but quickly shut it when he heard Masaomi's next words.

“I'm going to the cops.” Kida pushed past both of them, walking back to exit through the staircase.

"Masaomi! Wait!" Mikado yelled, running after his best friend.
