After all, the one defining characteristic of humans as a species was their being aware of their own unavoidable demise. Izaya had learnt that people were at their most honest when faced with death. Their emotions were warped, their thought processes honed to a zenith of breathless sense of urgency, lesser concerns were stripped away to reveal the raw reality of humanity underneath all the emptiness of everyday life. Izaya actually appreciated the Ikegami system, not for its fabled unifying effects but because it offered a window into the deeper layers of the human soul and one into which he could peer at will.
It had never occurred to Izaya that he might get to experience Ikegami directly. Not as the perpetual spectator. Standing above was one thing but to actually be in the midst of it was entirely different. This was information that a certain information was about to acquire.
Heiwajima Kasuka adjusted his suit before leaving headquarters. He often heard that he was the perfect employer to deliver such news as the death notice of one still living. Indeed, Kasuka remained professionally detached through it all and unlike many of his colleages had no qualms doing so. Even though he was still new at the job there were already talk of his received the employer of the month prize along with the perks it carried.
This time he checked the name and address and did not quite blink but almost. Dutifully enough he rang the chime and waited. Izaya opened the door. And stood frozen on the spot in frozen silence.
“Good morning. I am Heiwajima Kasuka I am with the National Health-”
“I know who you are. Ikigami deliverer.”
Izaya heard himself speak the words but they resounded through a filter of irreality. Very much as if he was stranded on a movie and yet watching it at the same time.
“Yes. You are Orihara Izaya, I gather?”
“It depends. Is that my name on that Ikigami?”
Kasuka handed him said document.
“Congratulations, you have been selected to die for the sake of Japan. Your death will not be in vain. You may travel and dine for free anywhere you wish until the time for your death that will occur in twenty hours. It is now ten A.M. Your family will received a compensation, details are included in the document. Thank you for your sacrifice, the prayers of the nation are with you.”
Kasuka granted him a curt albeit polite bow. To his credit Izaya took the Ikigami with a steady hand.
“'Thank you'? Heh...you make it seem as if I have a choice in the matter.”
“Have a good day.”
“Oh, you bet I will. You bet.”
Kasuka had encountered many a reaction from the soon to be martyrs but this cool semi threatening undertone was entirely new to him. He was reminded that this Orihara Izaya had a most tumultuous relationship with Shizuo. Perhaps his brother would appreciate the end of this sly character. Kasuka was already spinning on his heels but Izaya had one more thing to say.
“Your employer has a very tight privacy policy from what I understand.”
“Yes. No one will be informed of your selection by the Ikigami program until after your death, at which point it will publically announced.”
“I see.”
Kasuka was almost disappointed that Izaya had nothing further to add. After all, if there was anyone who would fight the status quo of state promoted murder it was Orihara Izaya.
As soon as he closed the door Izaya leant his forehead against it and inhaled deeply. He stayed that way, his eyes closed, until his heartbeat no longer caused the darkness to pulse with tides of nausea. Izaya felt as if his body was dissolving away from his mind, that he was losing reality. Already sliding into a land of shadows. Cold fear gripped him.
The Iikigami crumpled as he made a fist around it. This lasted two whole minutes. Time that Izaya could not possibly afford to waste.
Then he made two calls. The clock on the wall ticked away loudly in the hollow silence. Izaya dared not look at it but he did pull up a chronometer on his cell phone and set it.
Twenty three hours, forty minutes, ten seconds. And counting.

But also, I'm already thinking of the ending, and how much I really, really want him to be able to topple the system and not die... T^T I mean, how can the government just decide to kill off an interesting person? Please, author anon, produce a miracle!
