Anniversary and death

A/N:- This is the last chapter. Enjoy.

Shizuo was happy, his life had settled back to normal. His problems were in the past. Vorona had been dealt with, the police weren't bothering him. Izaya had relaxed, letting their relationship settle. He was no longer cooped up in the apartment, he was back in school, living out his teenage life.

Shizuo waved goodbye to Shinra, their paths splitting. Shinra would go back home to Celty and he would go home to Izaya. He still had his blond hair, both he and his demon preferred it like that. It had been a year since then. Then again the demon king Mikado, had enrolled into his school, somehow they had ended up in the same class.

The teen attended classes, like a normal teenager. At the end of the day, he was picked up by a van. He hadn't been introduced yet, but he knew Erika and he he knew the other three were demons. The demon king had created his own gang, which Shizuo was now part of. Izaya had added him to the member list. If he needed any help and couldn't get hold of his mate, that was the number to call.

He made the usual journey home, using his key to open the door. "Izaya, I'm home." His demon was sitting at his computer, working as usual. "Welcome back, Shizu-chan." He blinked, knowing Izaya had vanished, reappearing behind him, arms around his waist. Shizuo leaned back, into his arms. Their connection was getting stronger, every second they were apart, he missed the demon.

Izaya's fingers made quick work of untucking his shirt, fingers sliding over his developing muscles. His demon knew all of his sensitive spots, he didn't have to use his name to order him around any more. The teen no longer needed to run, he was happy and safe in Izaya's arms. "Can't you let me sit down, before we do this?"

Izaya nipped his shoulder in response, the other hand fiddling with his belt. "Can this wait? Shizu-chan." He knew it couldn't, the demon was playing with his body, making him a mess. He leaned back, grinding back against the demon, he had never beaten Izaya, but it didn't mean he didn't try. He could hear the sharp intake of breath, the small smirk vanished as he felt the ground shift.

He was pushed down on the bed, Izaya's nails close to his uniform. "Izaya, don't shred my uniform." The demon smirked, cutting through one of his only remaining uniforms. "I said stop doing that." Shizuo shivered as his uniform fell to the floor in pieces. The demon's lips were on his, wet muscles entwining, Izaya having the upper hand as usual.

"Shizu-chan. You've been smoking again." Not a question, Izaya knew he was still smoking. It had become a habit, that he couldn't stop. Izaya fixed him with a glare. "I told you to stop smoking, Shizu-chan." In truth the demon could have ordered him not to smoke, but it was the blond's choice. "You should have a long and healthy life, Shizu-chan." He couldn't look away. There was a glimmer of concern? Sadness? Pain? In his eyes.

A long life... His time with the demon was limited. Izaya would never age, he would look the same, while he would grow old. The demon would have to watch him die. Izaya knew that, he had been with Mikado. How could he be so stupid. "Sorry Izaya. I'll quit." He needed to be healthy, for his demon's sake.

He wrapped his arms around Izaya, holding him close. One day he would have to leave him. He didn't want that, he wanted to be with him forever. "Shizu-chan?" His arms shook, young and stupid, that's what he was. "I love you, Izaya." He didn't blame the demon for when he kept him in the apartment. How long had Izaya waited for him? They had met when he was a child. All those years and after he was gone, how long would he have to wait? "I love you, Izaya. I love you."

"Me too, Shizu-chan. Always." He didn't look into the demon's eyes, for him always was less than a century. He felt the other's arms around him, just holding him close in an embrace. "Why did you choose me?" Crimson eyes bored into his own, Mikado had explained to him as years pass, they would be able to know where one another was and practically read their mate's mind.

"I told you, Shizu-chan. You were interesting." Interesting enough to make him his mate. "Do you ever regret it? All the waiting." He knew Izaya could see through him. "Never, Shizu-chan." The blond jumped as he was picked up. "Oi, what are you-" A kiss from the demon shut him up. "Lets take a bath together." Shizuo laid his head on Izaya's chest, listening to the strong heartbeat. Just like that, his demon made everything go away.

Izaya helped him into the bath, the blond resting in front of him. His fingers manipulating the water, making it bubble. He would do anything for his mate, including taking his mind off, whatever was making him frown, with that sad look in his eyes. Maybe he should keep him off school for a while. He wrapped his arms around his Shizu-chan, keeping him securely against his chest. Shizuo tilted his head, leaning up, his lips just brushing Izaya's ones. "Thanks."

Shizuo bolted from the bed, as soon as his alarm went off, struggling from Izaya's arms. He quickly looked for another uniform, hoping that it wasn't the last one, Izaya had shredded. He let out a sigh of relief, seeing one more hanging up. "I'll see you later, Izaya." He gave his mate a kiss, letting the demon sleep.

Shizuo met Shinra at the usual cross roads, taking the path to school. As they reached the gate, the familiar van pulled out, the doors opening to reveal the demon king. By his side was Karisawa, he tried to ignore the look she was giving him. As time passed it was getting sadder, something bad was going to happen. To him or Izaya, he didn't know. Things aren't what they seem. The gaze between them broke, the doors closing.

"Good morning, Mikado." The demon king smiled, he looked happier than usual. "Good morning, Shizuo, Shinra." The three of them headed into the school. "Did something good happen?" So Shinra had picked it up too. Blue eyes twinkled. "It's getting closer to the time, when Kida will be here." Ah, so that was it. "Does it hurt?" It slipped out before he realized. "All the waiting?"

The demon king smiled sadly, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Don't think about the future, Shizuo. Live with him through each day. If you keep worrying, Izaya will pick up on it." The blond took a deep breath and nodded. He loved Izaya and he was his mate. They were together, the future didn't matter.

"By the way, Shizuo. Are you doing anything?" Mikado sat behind him, while Shinra sat in front. "For what?" The glint in his friend's eye, made him freeze. "That. All married couples have it. Your anniversary." Shizuo blinked. Did that apply to demons as well? "Its in two weeks. I remember the day you came to school after you got that mark. Right? Mikado."

Both of them turned to face the demon king. "It's true. The day you receive your mark, is the day you are eternally bound." Luckily the bell rang, making Shizuo turn around, so he could hide his blush. Anniversary. His gaze dropped to his finger, bringing it to his lips. He really was married. It was pointless being at school, his head was full of what he could do for Izaya.

What would the demon like? He liked his jacket too much and anything else, he brought for himself. The only thing Shizuo could give was himself and Izaya already had him. "Shizu-chan, what are you doing?" The blond blinked, he hadn't realized Izaya was there. "I was walking home, do you want to walk together?" His demon smiled. "I have to meet a client, I'll see you at home, Shizu-chan." Shizuo turned watching him walk away. At least they could act normal outside.

When he got home, Izaya was already there at his computer. "That's unfair, you can teleport." The blond huffed, dropping his bag on the sofa. "Welcome back, Shizu-chan. I made dinner." Shizuo shook his head. "Don't you have clients to be with?" Izaya smirked. "Don't worry, Shizu-chan. I still have time for you." Shizuo blinked, finding himself on the bed, yet again. "What about dinner?"

The days passed by quickly, he had started taking slow walks with Izaya, the demon managing to disappear, just as they reached the apartment, only to find him inside. But even then, it showed Izaya cared. He had finally come up with an idea, for their anniversary. He would pay for a hotel, one night that wasn't in the apartment.

He had the small cream card, with gold lettering. On it was the hotels details. One the back was a short note to Izaya. Happy Anniversary, Izaya! He needed to add something else, but every thought made him blush. Meet me here? I'm waiting for you? No, none of them got across what he wanted. Maybe if he was a little better at writing. Still he had two days. It so happened, the day Shizuo had booked, they would be serving fatty tuna. Something he knew his demon loved.

He knew he was frustrated, it was embarrassing to say, he had been having wet dreams about the very demon, who had his arms around him. Those crimson eyes, seeing through everything, treating him like he was the most precious thing in the world. Shizuo woke up groaning, feeling the dampness in his underwear. He kicked the demon in the shin. "Damn you, ruining my sleep."

He didn't go to school the next day, well he couldn't. He had woken Izaya up, eyes full of lust. Shizuo found himself stripped of his clothes, Izaya assaulting his body, making him shiver in pleasure. He gave a small moan, as his nipple was tweaked. Shizuo covered his face, as his demon's gaze lowered to the mess he had made. "Is Shizu-chan all ready for me?" He gasped as Izaya prepared him, his cock pushing past the ring of muscle. "I have school tomorrow, I need to walk." He should have known.

It was partly his fault too. Once Izaya started expertly playing with his body, he spoke up, demanding more, begging Izaya to move faster, creating a ruthless pace, that drove them both over the edge. They were both to blame. Still spending a day in each other's arms, wasn't so bad. School could wait.

Then it was the day of their anniversary. When he woke up, Izaya was already dressed and not in the apartment. With a sigh, he left the small card propped against the pillow. He had finally chosen the right words. He would see the demon later. Shizuo got dressed for school, hurrying out of the door. Surprisingly waiting with Shinra was Izaya. "Good morning, Shizuo. Look who I found."

"Happy Anniversary, Shizu-chan." The blond smiled, moving to hug him, Shinra was in the way. "I'll see you later." Shizuo glared at his friend. "Why did you get in the way?" Shinra smiled. "You're seeing each other after school anyway." He shook his head, that wasn't the point.

He didn't want to be in school, he was looking forward, to their time together. Would it make Izaya happy? "Are you okay? Shizuo." He turned around to face Mikado. "I should have skipped today." The demon king smiled, knowingly. "Happy Anniversary." Shizuo smiled, before turning to scowl at the clock.

As soon as the last bell rang, he was out of his seat, waving goodbye to Shinra and the demon king. He wanted to get home, to see Izaya. "Shizu-chan." The blond froze to a halt. "What's the hurry?" His demon was smirking. "Did you see it?" Izaya nodded, letting him take the lead. "What did you think?"

"Why don't I show you instead?" Shizuo gulped, reaching to take the demon's hand. Izaya was already ahead of him out of reach. While they were outside, they never touched. It was slightly upsetting, but if it was what Izaya wanted. He took the lead again, heading into the hotel, he had booked. He glanced back at Izaya, trying to see his reaction.

They were kept separated by the people in the lift. Once they pushed past everyone to get out, Shizuo took the lead, unlocking the door. Izaya followed him in closing the door. "It's not much, but I had help getting the money. Maybe I should get a job." He sat on the bed, waiting for his demon to join him. "Izaya?" He reached over, pulling the demon on top of him. Hissing as his finger burned.

He looked up at the person on top of him, small differences that he would have noticed if he had been concentrating. Izaya's eyes weren't that dark. The demon would always touch him no matter where they were. His hair was slightly shorter at the front. Shizuo moved his hands, ready to push against the other demon's chest. "You aren't Izaya."

Red flickered to blue and back again, black to blond. Things aren't what they seem. He hadn't picked up on it. "Vorona. Get off me." He recognized the eyes now and the same coloured hair. "I'll give you a good dream." He felt his strength drain, as he fell under a spell he was no longer protected against. His mind was filled with Izaya, while hidden beneath the feeling of lust was a heavy weight on top of him and feeling of fiery burning pain, that was getting more intense. "Shizu-chan." His eyes were glazed over, cheeks damp as tears ran freely, even under the spell, lost in a dream. He was cheating on Izaya. He was going to die. Sorry, Izaya. Even if it was a dream, his demon was the last he would see.

"Happy Anniversary." Mikado smiled at Izaya, appearing in his apartment. "What are you talking about? Mikado-kun." The demon king sighed. "It's a human custom. You should know more about them than me." Izaya shook his head. "You're older. Today is the day, I met Shizu-chan all those years ago. Where is he? Did he have to stay late?"

Izaya hissed as he felt heat spread along his finger. "Fuck." He had only felt that once before, when he had been forced to kill Vorona. "Mikado-Sama. Where is Shizu-chan?" The demon king paled, blue eyes full of concern. "He booked a hotel, for the two of you. He should have left a card or a note." Mikado lowered his head, he knew what was happening. It wasn't fair, he wanted Izaya and Shizuo to be happy. "Izaya-"

The crimson eyed demon, ignored him, teleporting from the apartment. He should have kept an eye on the blond. He knew the hotel, Shizu-chan would have picked. He was happy, his mate had planned something for their anniversary. Something he hadn't considered, Shizu-chan would want to celebrate. He made his way into the reception, the woman behind the desk, looked up in surprise. "Sir, was the room not to your liking?"

"Which room was mine?" He was panicking, he had a bad feeling, the pain in his finger getting worse. But it wasn't his own. He hadn't been in the hotel before, he didn't know the layout. Once he had the number he took the stairs, two at a time. Shizu-chan, Shizu-chan. He needed the blond to be okay. But he knew.

The pain in his finger, was their bond temporarily severing. Even as the pain flared and stopped, even as he knocked the door, clean from it's frame. Even as he ran into the room, finding that smug bitch of a demon, pulling herself off his mate. He knew. "Too late this time." He couldn't look at the disgusting fluid dripping down her legs. He could feel it, his heart shattering. Was this what Mikado had felt like? It hurt, it ached and throbbed as he pushed past the succubus, looking down at his mate.

Shizu-chan's eyes were glazed over, his cheeks wet. He should have had Mikado renew the protection. He had been careless. Shaky fingers rested against the blond's cheek, knowing it was too late. The blond blinked, eyes focusing on his. "S-Shizu-chan." Shizuo smiled sadly, more tears flowing. His own hand lifted, fingers touching Izaya's cheek. "S-sorry Izaya. Sor-"

His hand dropped to the bed, turning to dust. Izaya watched his mate die, turning to ash. He should never have given him the ring, if he hadn't. His fingers sifted through what was left of his Shizu-chan, picking up the ring. His mate was gone, he felt overwhelming pain, emptiness and rage. He should have killed her, he should have ignored the blond and killed her.

Izaya let his full form out, reaching for Vorona. "Killing me will accomplish nothing. Shizuo was mine." His mind was consumed of dark thoughts, each one ended in ripping the demon limb from limb and putting her back together again. "I should have killed you." He gripped her throat, slamming her into the wall repeatedly.

He didn't stop as a hand rested on his shoulder. He didn't have to turn to know it was Mikado. "Izaya. Let her go." Izaya spun around, seeing Karisawa crying on the floor. "Sorry. I didn't see it until it was too late." Izaya ignored her apology, turning away. "Izaya. I said let her go." He felt himself fly across the room, hitting the wall.

"Why are you stopping me? Mikado-Sama. She killed Shizu-chan." The demon king was silent. Izaya narrowed his eyes, trying to see past his rage. Erika's crying was getting louder, echoing through the room. Mikado was standing protectively over Vorona, no. His gaze was drawn to her stomach. Everything clicked into place.

Izaya let out a crazed laugh, full of anger and pain. "She's Kida's mother. Did you know?" The demon king looked directly at him. "Not until it was too late. I'm sorry, Izaya. I can't let you hurt her." The demon stood, moving to the bed. Blue light surrounded Mikado's palm. "Wait until he's born and then you can kill her. Please Izaya."

Izaya used his magic to contain the ash, changing it to Shizuo's form. So even his revenge had been taken from him. He gently cradled his mate to his chest, vanishing from the room. But his rage couldn't be contained.

Mikado lowered his head. "I kept you alive for a reason. You are to give birth to my mate and then your life is up." Vorona didn't answer, she was unconscious. Erika cried out as the room shook. "Mikado-Sama." The demon king nodded. "We should leave. Izaya's power is out of control." He took all three of them back to the demon realm. The hotel crumbling to the ground.

There was no sign of Izaya. Mikado had tried to track him for a week now. He didn't look at or visit Vorona. The fact that she would be Kida's mother made him sick. He was worried about Izaya. It was his first loss, he remembered when he had first lost Kida, he had destroyed half of the demon realm. He needed to find Izaya, in case he destroyed the human world.

Erika wiped her tears away. She had been crying on and off. She hated how useless her powers had been. Shizuo was gone. She made her way to the locked cell, containing Vorona. As long as she would give birth without any problems, Mikado didn't care what happened to her. Unlocking the door, she walked closer to the sleeping mother to be, placing a hand on her stomach. Erika let her gaze drift, staring at nothing and seeing everything. She pulled back sharply, a shocked grin on her face. "That's impossible." She rushed from the cell, calling for the demon king.

"Karisawa, don't repeat that to anyone." But Mikado couldn't stop smiling. "Shouldn't we tell Iza-Iza?" The demon king shook his head. "No, Izaya needs time to grieve. All we can do is wait." Mikado smiled, leaning against his throne.

Izaya slumped to the ground. He was finally finished. His hands were covered in dirt, his nails jagged and bleeding. He hadn't stopped. He had destroyed the hotel and surrounding area, he had taken Shizu-chan's body back to the apartment, only to find a small card on the bed. His anger drained as he read each word.

Happy Anniversary, Izaya! I will always love you eternally. Your Shizuo.

He had spent ages, finding the perfect spot, using his powers to create the perfect coffin. Everything had to be perfect for his Shizu-chan. He used his sharpened nails instead of a shovel, gently he lowered his mate in, giving him a final kiss. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't bring back the dead.

Izaya smoothed over the ground, covering it in flowers. Out of everything, the headstone had taken the longest. Each letter had been gouged out of the stone, filled in with silver. He leaned forward resting his head against the stone. "Don't make me wait too long, Shizu-chan."

Here lies Shizuo Heiwajima. Beloved and forever precious, until the end of time.

He wasn't sure how long he stayed there, the weather changed, one minute it was sunny, the next he was hit by the down pour. Even though he was soaked, he was glad for the rain, it was like everyone was shedding tears for Shizu-chan and at the same time, covering his own.
