Epilogue: (I didn't feel like getting rid of Simone but I never really explained what happened to her, so I decided to write this stupid little extra ending. Not really important unless you're like me and want all the random holes explained.)


"Why are we here?" Simone asked in a quiet voice as Shizuka led the way. The three of them were strolling through Ikebukuro looking for someone, but Shizuka wasn't good at remembering directions and she was the only one who knew where he was.

"Because we think this is for the best," Kanra answered with a smile. Shizuka glanced over at her and thought that the smile looked fake, but she couldn't tell what the smaller girl was thinking right this instant and let the thought go.

"But I just want to go home," Simone mumbled, hurrying up to be right on Shizuka's heels. She didn't like how much people were staring at them, especially her.

"You can't," Shizuka grumbled, letting out a puff of smoke. It was the last one in her pack, and she'd need to buy more soon. It made her irritable, as Kanra kept stealing her cigarette packs claiming they were pollution.

"Don't worry," Kanra said cheerily, "you'll like this man. Our friend said so." She had looked up the man earlier, digging up everything she could on him, and deciding he wasn't a creep like the other people she'd met in this city.

"Ah," Shizuka said, walking up to a giant man in wearing mostly white and calling out to people as they walked buy. "Here."

Simone did her best to look brave as the three of them walked up to the tall man who had turned his attention to them. "Good time for sushi, Izaya's friend. Come in, Russia Sushi is best sushi around."

Kanra lite up. "Oh! Yes please! That sounds great!"

"No, idiot," Shizuka sighed while rolling her eyes. "We don't have any money and said we'd go meet Shinra."

Kanra pouted but accepted it. She knew they weren't able to eat, but enjoyed acting in front of people. The man, however, didn't seem to be paying attention to her and was instead focused on Simone.

"Orihara-san said he had talked to you?" Shizuka said, taking the last drag of her cigarette.

Simon smiled down at the little girl and said something in Russian.

Simone perked up and replied eagerly. They exchanged a few other phrases before Simone glanced at Shizuka as if asking if this was real.

"You'll be fine staying with him, right Simone?" Kanra asked, grinning down at the smaller girl.

Simone turned to the big man and asked something in Russian. He replied with a huge grin and stood up straight. Then she turned to Kanra and nodded. "I'll see you again, though, right?" she asked hesitantly.

Shizuka said nothing but Kanra nodded. "Of course," she said happily. "Are you going to stay with him now?"

Simone asked Simon something in Russian and he nodded, answering in Japanese, "Of course. More help is always useful!"

Shizuka nodded and Kanra waved as they backed away. Three high-schoolers walked by and distracted the two Russians, and Shizuka left without a backwards glance.

"So…" Kanra muttered, "What now?"

Shizuka shrugged. "We're going to get this stuff with Shinra over with."

Kanra nodded. "Then can we have some fun?"

Shizuka smirked. "What kind of fun do you have in mind?"

Kanra gave her an evil smile back and didn't answer.


Sarin: So that's the end! I hope you enjoyed it! This is the first thing I've ever finished, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Shizaya is my favorite pairing, and I will most likely write more fanfictions of them in the future. Please review and tell me how I did, good or bad I just want to know. Thank you so much for reading! Just the thought of people actually reading this whole thing fills me with pleasure! Now I'm getting sentimental. Damn. Well thank you again for reading!
