"The Web of Desires"

Part 29

Izaya's eyes gleamed with a mixture of amusement and malice as Shizuo begged, "Izaya, please, I just want to go back to my world." Shizuo's voice cracked with desperation, his eyes pleading for mercy. "I miss Shinra and Celty, I miss home, please, I don't want to be in this world anymore. I'm sorry about hitting you with a vending machine, please, I want to go back to my world." Izaya smirked, his expression softening as he stroked Shizuo's face gently. "Sorry, Shizu-chan, but for now, you have to live with Vanitas," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm still angry about the vending machine, I was in the hospital because you threw that at me." Izaya's glare intensified, his eyes burning with anger. "I hate you so much, Shizu-chan," he said, his voice low and menacing. As Izaya spoke, a wicked smile spread across his face, and he noticed Vanitas standing at the door. Izaya's eyes lit up with excitement as he whispered in Shizuo's ear, "Seems like Vanitas is pissed." Izaya pulled away from Shizuo and rushed to Vanitas, his movements fluid and deliberate. "Shizu-chan was acting such like a whore, Vanitas," Izaya said, his voice dripping with malice. "Maybe you and Shizu-chan need to have a talk." Shizuo glared at Izaya, his eyes burning with anger and hatred. Vanitas turned to Shizuo, his expression dark and foreboding. "What's going on here?" he growled, his voice low and menacing. Shizuo swallowed hard, trying to find his voice. "I-I don't know, Vanitas," he stammered, trying to stay calm. Vanitas's glare intensified, his eyes flashing with anger. "Don't lie to me, Shizuo," he snarled, his voice rising. "I can see the look on your face. What did Izaya do to you?" Izaya chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Oh, Vanitas, I'm sure Shizu-chan will tell you all about it," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "After all, he's been so eager to share his secrets with me." Shizuo's face paled, his eyes wide with fear. "Vanitas, please," he begged, trying to stall for time. "Don't listen to him, he's just trying to manipulate you." Vanitas's expression darkened, his eyes burning with anger. "I'm not sure I can trust you, Shizuo," he said, his voice low and menacing. "But I'm willing to listen. Tell me what happened." Shizuo took a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts. He knew he had to tread carefully, or risk facing Vanitas's wrath. "I-I don't know what Izaya wants from me," he stammered, trying to stay calm. "But I swear, I didn't do anything to him." Izaya snorted, his eyes rolling in amusement. "Oh, Shizu-chan, you're such a bad liar," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "But I'm sure Vanitas will figure it out soon enough." As Izaya spoke, Vanitas's glare intensified, his eyes burning with anger. Shizuo knew he was in trouble, and that he had to think fast if he wanted to get out of this situation alive.
