Title: Gunshot
Author: Zen Lion
Rated: T
Summary: Based on episode 22. If Izaya was there when Shizuo got shot… (because you know we Shizaya shippers hoped for the same thing).
Disclaimer: You see, if I owned DRRR!, episode 22 will turn out just like this fic. But since it didn't end up that way, that means I own nothing.

Gunshot
a DRRR! fanfic

The sound of a gunshot echoed through the night as a man in a bartender outfit fell to his knees, blood coming out of the two fresh holes in his usually sterner body. Even if he was nicknamed Ikebukuro's strongest, or Ikebukuro's fortissimo, or whatever else was available, he still was nothing but a human—even though people would rather classify him as 'monster.'

"B-Blame Kida Masaomi for ordering this!" a middle-aged man who pulled the trigger shouted as he and his loyal dogs scrambled away before anybody noticed.

Unfortunately for him, someone had been there all along. Red eyes pierced down on those three, a flicker of silver flashed through the night sky. Horada and his men stopped in fear, afraid that it was the rumored Slasher standing before them. What they thought was the Slasher jumped right in front of the paralyzed trio, a beautifully pale face glowing under the incandescent street lamp.

In both panic and fright, Horada pulled out his gun and started shooting once again, his aims rather off this time around. Izaya dodged the bullets with ease, most definitely due to years of avoiding a certain someone's deadly attacks. The hooded figure came closer, gave the old geezer a slash to the chest and a jaw-breaking uppercut, knocking him unconscious. He grabbed the gun and looked to the other two who quickly scurried away at the scene.

"Chocolate*, get," Izaya said with a pleased smile plastered on his face. He checked the Beretta's remaining bullets and frowned when he saw there was only one left. He clicked his tongue. "Shiki-san won't be too happy about this."

Izaya approached the wounded debt collector and crouched beside him. He pocketed the gun he just retrieved. Still holding his beloved switchblade, he swirled it around the pool of darkening red substance. His finger nudged the unconscious Shizuo on the forehead twice, retracting it afterwards. "Well, you're no fun this way, Shizu-chan," he pouted.

He took his cell phone and dialed a contact. The other line picked up but didn't get a chance to say anything before Izaya delivered his line.

"Hey, Shinra, I need you to do me a favor for someone… Don't worry. I'll pay it in full."

A/N: *Chocolate = Izaya mentioned the gun as "chocolate" when he talked to Namie about it on episode 20, so…

Somehow…this is just… *fails* Um, please review? :)
