Those Close To Us (Ichigo X Izaya)[Closed]

Ichigo alighted in a tree above the house, sighing softly as the breeze shifted her hair and clothes gently. With angered eyes, she rubbed her forehead and growled. "Idiots... I've been gone for far too long... Something could have happened... And wherever that beast went to, he's obviously not worried about her. Wait..." Ichigo looked around the compound. With an increasingly panicked look on her face, she gripped the sides of her head, pupils dilating. "Where... Where is she?!?! Don't tell me something got to her? No... No... No, I'll never forgive those fucking people if she's hurt somewhere..." She looked around, her heartbeat growing quickly as she panicked.

Ichigo then tried to calm herself. "Don't think the worst... Maybe... Maybe she got over her fear and did some shopping... Yeah... She's fine..." She teared up, something the warrior never did, and growled. "I knew I shouldn't have left her here. Fuck other people. Why do I even bother? Not like they can notice, and when one does, he's completely shady..."

Ichigo glared downwards, instantly seeing Izaya and jumping down in front of him. "You!" She gripped his shoulder tightly, glowering at him. "This is your fault! She could be dead because you had to fucking hold me up!" She was seething with thick anger, but instead of impale him, like her urge was telling her to, she tossed him to the side and away from the tree, which would, at most, cause him to lose balance and fall on his ass.

"Why did you follow me here? You're lucky I haven't found my sister's body anywhere... Otherwise I'd take the equivalent of her soul out of your corpse..." She was still seething, gripping the sides of her head. "I... I would have no reason to exist without her... You don't seem to understand... I will kill anyone and everyone if it keeps her safe!" She looks to him harshly. "This is your fault, so you will be helping me..."

Ichigo just growls at him, quickly getting to her boiling points. "Don't fuck with me right now... I'm in no mood..." Good thing Ichigo was so blunt, as she wasn't able to pick up on Izaya's subtle hints about what he was doing. She was playing right into his hands without realizing it. "The reason you're going to help me is exactly what you are saying. This is your fault. You fix what you break. That's what people with any sense of honor do!" She growled out her words harshly, clearly on the edge of a major meltdown, should Izaya dare to push any further.

"I don't fucking trust you. You talk like scum. You act like scum. If anything, I should be putting you in a grave. But before I do anything like that, you are going to fix your mistakes. I'm going to fix mine as well..." She seemed to cool off and glares to him. "You don't seem to understand. That girl is the last living member of my family. If she dies, so does my family. I will not allow that to happen. If it happened because you and some beast drew me away from her, I will force your repentance!" There it was. Nothing could happen to Izaya, so long as Shinku was not dead. He was important due to Ichigo strong sense of honor and justice. Ichigo would not actually kill him until he had made up his mistake. That, or if he pushed her far enough.

When she heard Izaya say "Alright." it pleased her somewhat. At the very least, it placated her to some degree. However, he continued, his words gripping her in a verbal choke-hold. She wanted to protect Shinku at all costs, and knew that she couldn't be around her at all times. She growled lowly, almost seeming to be breathing smoke as her anger boiled once more. She wasn't liking where it sounded like this man was going.

"You can do all that? Protect my living sister?" She crosses her arms and stares daggers at him. "How are you going to do this? Enlighten me. How can you do what I can't?" Her words were as sharp as a steak knife, almost seeming to poke for holes in Izaya's story. "How are you anywhere near my strength so that you can protect my older sister? Is it simply that you are actually alive and can escort her places? Is that the only ting you have over me?"

Ichigo then thought for a second. Wait, he could escort her to make sure she was well-fed and got what she needed from town, something Ichigo couldn't really do. She lowered her head and sighed, every cell in her body shaking in revulsion as she spoke. "What would you want in payment? If it's reasonable... Then yes... Then I will take your offer..."

Ichigo eyes the man warily, seeming to be relieved as he explained what he was. "Quincy?" Her face looked confused, but her mind quickly remembered just what he was. This assuaged her anger greatly and brought her to a much more talking level than before. Sighing softly, she nods to him. "Alright... Quincy... I believe you..." If he truly was a Quincy, then he would be more than capable of protecting and locating Shinku. If he wasn't... Well... He'd better hope a Hollow got to him first.

Then she gave him a blank look. What the hell was he accomplishing by taking so long getting to the point? She wasn't going anywhere, and she wasn't nearly as angry as she was before. Her recognizing him as a spiritual being made her realize just how he was capable of such acrobatics earlier. However, she did not care for the sinister tone in his voice. It was just despicable listening to the man speak, and she wanted to puke. She would do as he asked, however.

"A... Spy?" She gave him an odd look. Why in the world would he want such a thing? Despite him saying that information was his business, she was wondering why her? Was she just that stealthy and powerful hat he picked her out? No, there were better people. She crossed her arms and looks to him calmly, yet there was definitely an irritated look in her red eyes. "Alright... Information is easy enough. But what I want to know is why. Why me? What makes me as a good target for a spying mission?" She looks to him as her look softens and she lets out a sigh. She really needed to be able to control her temper. It was getting to the point where if she was angry for too long, she'd get dizzy.

Ichigo sighed and shook her head. "Found me first? What kind of answer is that? You just looked around for help, then saw me and immediately figured I'd fit?" She waved her hand and shook her head again. "And don't give me shit about me taking the position. I realize that I've done just what you've wanted. I get that." She rubs her forehead and thinks. She was now working as a spy? What an odd night this was turning out to be...

She looked to Izaya softly and sighed. "Well... Something about Shinku?" She nods and closes her eyes. "For starters, good luck getting close to her without freaking her out. She's incredibly scared of people, as in there's no approaching her without scaring her a bit. She loves her garden, and is nearly impossibly to offend, but all too easy to upset." She rubs her forehead. "In short, she's the type of person that blindly sees the good in everything, regardless of whether it's actually dangerous or not. Her fear keeps her quiet. So be careful around her..." She reached into her pocket and pulls out a ribbon, light red in color and would look beautiful in the hair of someone with a matching outfit. "This is hers... I had it the day I died... Just... Take this and show it to her. It should keep her from running away. But don't tell her where you got it. She doesn't know I still exist, and she can't. It'll mess her up more than she already is."

Ichigo shakes her head softly. "Exactly. But there is nothing more to tell. Nothing that she herself can't tell you, that is. Just help her in any way you can." She hummed and steeled herself, looking to him sharply. "I'm off to fulfill my end of the bargain..." And with that, she was off, sprinting away to find the first of many she'd attempt to pull information from. She was going to make sure her job was done right so her sister got the protection Ichigo desperately wanted for her.
