Haro! I'm re-formulating some things and so I arrive at this one fic for both Shizaya and Mikida. (I might get killed but… why not? Mikida.) The story will be in new format… well unlike of that one I usually use. (You wouldn't notice if you haven't read any of my other fics.) Bah, anyway, please enjoy and review if you think you need to. ^^

Itazura no Inutachi is the (amateur) translation of Mischievous Dogs. I would preferably call this fic ItaInu for short. XD (Though nobody cares.)

Foxes are dogs, too. Fox is a slang word for good-looking young people. ^^ I have also altered their ages… most likely Mr. Forever Twenty-One and the hot-headed Twenty-Four-Year-Old. I have also decreased Izaya's viciousness… just decreased.

Disclaimer: I don't own DRRR! I would also borrow some part of the kitsune concept from Kanokon.

Warning: YAOI and some violence. Swearing and sexual themes are also employed. Not for children who are not familiar with Shounen-Ai. (I used kids because I don't really believe everyone reading this is above 17 years of age. First read yaoi lemon when I was 14.)

Itazura no Inutachi

…

Summary: After a reckless riot at a local park, Shizuo finds himself annoyed by a mischievous fox demon called Kitsune to death. Annoyingness is not the problem here… but the destruction it has posed to his life. "I love you, Shizu-chan!"

…

Itazura no Inutachi

Nothing else matters other than fun and promiscuity.

…

That not-so-unusual night, a number of people from a local gang have been gathered at the park. Their faces etched with malicious smirks, their hands armed with different weapons. Their eyes glitter in so much excitement… trying to accomplish a certain goal.

"Kill him NOW!"

The supposed gang leader yells as he signals his boys to invoke the sleeping demon within one man.

Shizuo Heiwajima. Though he isn't much of a gangster, a delinquent or a bully, he has been targeted by these people for quite some time by then. However, he never runs away… yet gives in to his own body's violent pleasure.

"You guys don't learn, huh?"

He spits his smoke out of his mouth and begins hitting the heads of the charging delinquents with his steely fists. He throws punches and delivers kicks at anyone who gets near. He rarely laughs out like a victorious demon… those are the only times when he feels so good beating people to death. Shizuo keeps on laughing… until someone uses his bike to ram against the blond demi-human. His body collides with the bike which sent him flying to a nearby old house within the restricted area beyond the park.

"…Fuck…"

A sharp gasp welcomes his ears as he tries to stay awake despite the damages his body has sustained. Accepting the fact that he is delusional, Shizuo keeps his gaze at the three animal-looking figures at his face. All of them are shining brightly with golden fur, which is decorated with a weird sacred rope with talismans… yet their eyes are occupied with different shades of colors. One then decide to near its nose to Shizuo's face… soon licking his somewhat busted lips.

As the two other figures watch the human lie against the debris of their once roof, one figure gets closer and closer enough to start savoring the taste of human blood. But the blond finally gives in to the sweet serenity of falling asleep… with only hearing human voices in his head.

"Brother, are you sure of what you are doing?"

"Fuck off. I'll handle him."

Chapter 1: Call Me Izaya Onegaishimasu

…

The early cuckoo of an absent rooster awakens the blond and the opening of his eyes make him much alert.

"What is this place?"

To him, it seems like it is an old room of an imperial house… mansion of the richest shoguns and ancient princesses. But the damaged and patched roof makes it appear that it is not well-maintained at all. He groans to move and then a voice takes his attention.

"Ohayoo, Master-san."

Shizuo then stares at the person beside him. Adorned by such expensive and antique-looking jewelry and headdress, well-woven kimono, and delicately-colored porcelain of a skin, the person smiles at him sweetly as if the morning sun to the blooming flowers. However, as how clear the person's rose-tainted orbs are, Shizuo knows it is an…

"Okama?"

His sudden whisper makes the man twitch accompanied by a sudden burst of self-indulgent laughter of a woman. The man then yells in an angry voice as he keeps his cool composure, "Shut the fuck up!" The laughter stops and then the man with red orbs shrug his shoulders, "Looks like you're not groggy anymore."

"Where am I?"

A hint of disgust shows in Shizuo's eyes as he stares at the man who attempted to be a woman and miserably failed. However, the said man keeps his composure as if he hasn't been discovered just yet, "At our house, obviously."

"Your house? I don't remember being in someone else's house…"

The blond thinks aloud as he closes and then the man gets considerably closer beyond his knowledge, "Then I better make you remember how you got here."

The man grabs the blond's jaws and lays a kiss on his lips. Shizuo's eyes widen but glares as he continue to stare at the other guy's glaring red orbs. The man pulls back and he gazes at the hole at the roof, "You went flying from the sky like a fucking beautiful comet… broke the roof and… fell at my bed."

Shizuo then gets to remember the fight last night while he wipes his mouth clean from the unwanted contact. He then looks at the damaged ceiling and scratches his head, "Sorry."

"A sorry is not enough for me to—" The man speaks to pose an authoritative aura… but then the poorly-done patch falls down to reveal the bright sun outside…

"Like I said, a sorry isn't enough."

"I'll just fix the roof if that's what you like."

"…Hai, fix the roof onegaishimasu."

…

Itazura no Inutachi

…

It is indeed a strange encounter that deviates from Shizuo's normal everyday life. It is not like every day that he goes flying to a house and breaking the roof instead of a wall, a door or a window. With the house belonging to siblings where the eldest is a cute crossdresser. It is also not normal to have a guy kiss you when you apparently damaged his ceiling and his bed. It is not normal for him to get kissed by another man in the first place.

"Weird."

He resorts to scratching his head as he thinks about the strange meeting that morning. Aside from the crossdresser, there are two girls hiding behind the door… those women latterly introduced as the man's younger sisters. Apparently, the blond is allowed to go when he finished fixing the roof.

But the choice of clothes he has seen bugs him some more.

"Princess' kimono… shrine maiden outfit… geisha yukata…" He sighs, "What kind of family is that?"

"Shizuo!" A friendly voice yells from afar and the blond stops walking only to gaze at a brunet who is running towards him. Unlike the usual doctor-wanna-be outfit, the brunet is in a more casual wear… but what surprised the blond more is that beautiful woman walking with him.

"Oi, Shinra. Who is she?"

"Whaaaa. No, don't fall in love with her, Shizuo! She's mine!"

Smack. "Sorry, Celty, please don't get mad."

"Celty?"

"My name is Celty Sterluson. I'm an exchange student in Raira Academy this year." The beautiful foreigner bows after as if she's adapting to the Japanese lifestyle fast. Shizuo bows as well and stares at her… no, it is not the stare of falling. More like a stare that says 'I don't think you're a normal person'. She then proceeds with the continuation of her introduction, "I am acquainted to Kishitani's father so I'm staying with them for the mean time."

"Aren't Shinra alone at his apartment most of the time?"

"Yep. But I don't mind. He's not as perverted as I thought he is."

"Is that supposed to be a compliment, Celty?" Shinra then twitches and gladly breaks the news to Shizuo, "Yes! Yes! Shizuo! Celty will be at our class, too. I can't wait for the opening of classes! I'm so excited!"

"R-Right. I've already moved my things at the dormitory we are forced to stay at." Shizuo pockets his hands and then Shinra nods to himself, "I have already moved mine as well. I will be helping Celty move hers at the Girl's Dormitory tomorrow."

"Uh. I'm a bit excited with the opening of classes, too." Celty smiles sweetly at the ground as her face fails to hide her emotions, "In three days, we'll be at the dorm and then in a week school will be officially starting, right?"

"Hai! Celty is so beautiful. If she kisses me, I can die on the spot!"

"Another year of headache…"

The light flickers as the subtle wind blows on it. The frogs make their usual croaks as the unseen parliament makes the nightly O's in the woods beyond the old house. Night has already bitten the day and it is still weird to have the strange man gazing up the sky for the whole day. With his legs crossed and his arms drawn backwards as supports, his blank face stirs in along the serenity of the night.

"Oi, kit. Why is there a well-done patch at the ceiling of your room?"

The strange man gazes at the caller and recognizes the young man despite the distractive dog ears embracing his head and a dog tail swaying around, "Huh? What are Inugamis doing down here? Getting fed up in the mountains?"

"Don't change the subject. And no, I just came down here for a certain purpose." The guy goes nearer the guy and the strange man grins bitterly at him, "Someone just came flying in and broke the roof."

"Came flying? Wow, I guess I know who did that, more or less."

"Back to the other subject, why are you down here?"

"I'm going to school! The opening of classes will be there in a week so I have to be ready. It's also quite a good taste that dormitories are mandatory. I won't be losing my face because I won't ask for a place to stay from you."

"I want to go to school, too."

"It's the first time you got envy of me…"

"No, the man that came flying must be a student. I want to meet him again." The strange man licks his lips, "He really looks and tastes delicious."

"Just don't meddle with my business there."

A phone suddenly beeps and then the young man draws out his phone, "Heheh. Yeah, I know."

"What's that?" The strange man gets nearer to take a peek at what the young man is typing. The young one lets him see it and then he talks as he sends the message, "My long time friend wants to be with me again so he asked me to enroll at Raira Academy with him."

"You're not schooling before, right?" The strange man chuckles in ridicule.

"Shut up. We only get interested in schooling because of our preys, neh?"

"Don't try to act cute. But… I can agree on that. Since we both have different targets, how about we keep our secrets and mingle with the humans again?"

"Just keep out of my way. What's your human name again? Izaya Orihara?"

"If I were you, I won't forget that name, Masaomi Kida."

…

Itazura no Inutachi

…

"Masaomi!" A brunet waves at his long time friend and the young man named Masaomi waves back as well. Three days have passed and now, the students are gathering in the dorms. He then eyes at the man with him, "That's my friend. NEVER. I mean it, never get close to him." Izaya dismisses Masaomi's grumpy state with hand gestures and looks around the street leading to the Boy's Dormitory. He then licks his lips, "Perfect."

"Masaomi! It's been a while." The timid brunet smiles as his friend smiles back… only to wrap an arm at his neck, "I just wished you have grown up a bit, Mikado." The brunet then stares at Izaya who is gazing far away…

"Kitsune…?"

Izaya twitches and then finds the brunet staring at him as if he can see through the strange man's disguise… which he really did.

"Are you a kitsune? I mean, aren't Inugamis supposed to be in conflict with Kitsunes?"

"That was centuries ago, Mikado-kun. With the humans hating us, we don't have a choice but to wipe off every bad blood we could."

"Let's go, Mikado. That man is dangerous." Masaomi tugs Mikado away and then Izaya watches them leave… amusement tainting his eyes, "Hm. I wonder how will that fucker get on that boy's pants someday."

"Huh?"

Izaya twitches as familiar scent and voice come to his nose and ears… with his composure tries to hide that fox tail threatening to shoot out. He turns to a direction and to see Shizuo standing between a man and a woman unworthy of his attention. He grins big enough and waves a bit, making sure the target is looking at him. The three gather towards the kitsune and then Shizuo asks, "Don't tell me you're attending Raira, too?"

"I just transferred here because it's closer to my home. It's quite nice to be not hundred-percent stranger to everyone else."

"…Good you're not wearing anything weird."

"It's quite nice to give in to your own sisters' (fucking) requests once in a while, don't you think? And yes…" He reaches out a hand for a handshake, "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Izaya Orihara. Call me Izaya onegaishimasu."

"Shizuo Heiwajima." Finding it much suspicious to not even introduce his companions, Shizuo starts jerking his thumb to the two, one at a time, "These are Shinra Kishitani and Celty Sterluson."

The glitter in Izaya's eyes vanishes in an instant as those red orbs become devoid of any positive emotion. Celty stares at him as well… her eyes giving off the same feeling. Shinra, oblivious of the weird staring contest, whispers at Shizuo who is not paying attention to the other two as well, "This is creepy but I really think that guy has some hots for you."

"I see that my friend is acquainted to you. I hope we get along as well." Celty speaks as she looks away and then Shinra seconds her motion upon hearing her heavenly voice. The two walks away from the other two and then Izaya grins yet again, "Well, I do hope we get along."

"Some more headaches."

The blond then walks on ahead with Izaya prancing behind him.

As the season of school feels closer and there are more people to get involved with that academic year, two demons of fox and dog decent have invaded the human world again in search of their own pleasures. Little does everyone know about their real motives and sheer coincidental accomplishments… as well as how little does the two demons know about what human realm is all about.

Masaomi and Izaya walk along the exclusive paths they have chosen… relying on nothing else but their powers… aiming for nothing else but their own entertainment.

"Of course, we won't be left out! Right, Kuru-nee?"

"Affirmative (Exactly)."

A hell of a school year coming up, then.
