Shizuo growled angrily. The fucking flea had gotten away. Of course he had gotten away. Not once had he been able to catch the slippery little bug. He was even injured. Bleeding from those knife wounds. He didn't feel any of the pain, but he was sure that if he lost enough blood, he'd pass out. And that wouldn't be good. So, he headed to Shinra's.

"Oi. Get out here Shinra. I need you to patch me up!" He had let himself into the doctor's place, and seated himself on the couch. "Lock your doors too!" Shinra shook his head and grabbed his medical bag, starting to fix Shizuo up, but he didn't dare lock the door. It was then that they had a repeat. After all, Shizuo's aim had been good today. Izaya walked in and smirked.

"Shizu-chan~, fancy meeting you here~" Shizuo felt his eye twitch. After all, the flea was there.

"I-za-ya..." It was a threatening tone, showing that he was already rather angry at the raven's arrival.

"Ne, Shinra, ignore the brute, he's fine, me on the other hand~" He smirked at Shizuo, daring him to get up and attack. Izaya was actually in pain, he just knew how to hide it. That smirk was it. Shizuo roared, pushing Shinra to the side, not caring, at the moment, if he was hurt in the process.

"IZAYA!" Shinra's coffee table was flung strait towards Izaya. Izaya ducked to the side easily.

"Honestly, a monster like you shouldn't even need medical care~, you're in good shape anyways~" Shizuo's eye twitched again.

"Like you know anything about me!" There went Shinra's couch too. Missed Izaya, because he dodged, and went straight through the wall into the street. Celty came storming out at that point, thoroughly pissed off that her home was being destroyed. Again.

"Eh? I know more than I want to about Shizu-chan~" Shizuo let out another roar, not noticing that Celty had come out and was in the same room. He grabbed the medical bag that Shinra had previously been using and threw that at Izaya, it making a pretty decent sized dent on the wall when Izaya dodged it. That was quite enough. Celty's Shadow's wrapped right around both of them now, locking the two battling me in place.

"What the hell?! Celty?" It only took Shizuo a moment to realize that the shadows restraining them both belonged to the headless rider. Looking around, he noticed that he had destroyed the place she and Shinra lived...

"Oh my, we have made a mess ne? Or rather that monster did," Izaya rolled his eyes, about the only part he could move.

Shizuo growled angrily. "You fucking piece of shit!" If Celty wasn't holding them both back, he'd be throwing something else at the raven.

'BOTH OF YOU STOP IT' Her voice flooded through her shadows right into their heads. 'I am sick to DEATH of your constant fighting!' Shizuo immediately stopped yelling at Izaya and kept his mouth shut. He had just pissed of Celty. Well, him and Izaya, but still. That was something that was hard to do.

'You BOTH need to understand each other better! Stop fighting and get along already! You might actually LIKE each other if you got to know one another!'

"Psh, as if, Shizu-chan is nothing but a monster~, why would I want to get to know him?" Shizuo felt his eye twitch again. "The flea had his chance when Shinra introduced us and he fucked it up."

"I did? You're the one who threw a punch without even so much as a 'how d'you do'!"

"Only because you pissed me off!"

"I hadn't even said anything! The first words out of your mouth were 'You piss me off'!" Izaya argued. Celty would have had her head in her palm if she had it.

"Yeah, and? You had that aura around you. And then you smirked at me and you cut me! Maybe it would have worked out better if you didn't do all those things to make me hate you!"

"Make you hate me? You're the one who attacked me for that whole first week when I never did anything! I only defended myself at first you kno-"

'ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU ARE TO BLAME. Find out what it's like to be each other then!' She declared and without another word both of them were completely enveloped in a cocoon of Shadows.

At first, Shizuo panicked, trying to get out. However it was pointless. He was trapped. And before long, he was out like a light. Izaya too tried to escape and he too was knocked unconscious soon enough. They were cocooned for only two minutes and then she set them both on the ground.

"Celty... what did you do?" Shinra asked now that he saw that both males were unconscious on the ground. He'd never seen Celty do that before.

[I made them switch. Izaya is Shizuo and Shizuo is Izaya.] She sat down crossly and waited for them to wake up.

"O...kay. But doesn't that seem a bit dangerous?"

[Maybe. They'll be forced to work together if they want to survive though, and that means they have to get to know each other]

"Ah. Okay then. If you say so. How long do you think it'll take before one of them wake up?"

[They should wake up soon] Celty informed him and it was Shizuo -or rather Izaya in Shizuo's body- who stirred first, groaning and rubbing his head as he sat up.

"Ah. Hello... Izaya... How do you feel?" He almost said Shizuo, on instinct, but Izaya would discover he wasn't himself soon enough.

"What the hell did you do to me Celty?" He groaned. His voice was even Shizuo's but still woozy, Izaya failed to notice.

[Now you two have to work together and get to know each other, else you really won't be able to survive.] She didn't give a direct answer, seeing as he really would see what happened soon enough.

Just then Shizuo, who was in Izaya's body, groaned. "Uggg. My head is killing me." He failed to notice that he sounded like Izaya as well. Izaya did notice though... that wasn't Shizuo's voice... he turned to look and blinked. He was looking at himself?

Shizuo rubbed the back of his, or rather Izaya's, head as he sat up, blinking a couple of time to clear the blurriness from his eyes. "W-what the hell?!" Of course, now he noticed that he sounded like Izaya, and he was staring at himself.

"Celty what did you do to us?!" Izaya asked, panic stricken. He couldn't be Shizuo! He just... oh wait, did this mean he was retardedly strong now? Shizuo glared at Celty. "Fix this." There was no way in hell he was going to stay as the flea. It was the flea!

[You'll revert when you get along] She informed them.

"So... never... oh well~! Like this who needs my old body? I have Shizu-chan's strength, ne~?"

Shizuo's eye twitched. "Yeah. But you'll be me flea! You'll have to do my job and I'll be you! You really want to do that?"

"Eh? No, no, see I have your strength! I can kill Shizu-chan when he's so weak like this~"

"You'd be killing yourself flea!"

"Eh?" He blinked and realized if he killed Shizuo he was dead...

[You're lives are connected right now. If your original body dies so do you. If one of you dies so does the other] Celty said then and Izaya gulped. Shizuo crossed his arms. He wanted to tell Celty that her plan was stupid... but he really didn't want to tick her off again. Who knew? She might be able to do something worse. "How the hell are me and the flea supposed to work together though?"

[Figure it out. Live together if you have to, but if you both want to live you had better figure it out fast]

"Oh... Oh nononono..." Izaya paled considerably, "No, turn us back, no, I have clients! Shizu-chan can't do what I do for a living; he'll get us killed tonight!"

"Yeah Celty. Turn us back. I don't want anyone else to see us like this. It's stupid."

[No. You'll turn back when you learn to get along] She would have been scowling if she could.

Shizuo scowled. "That's real great. Real fucking great."

[Deal with it. I'm tired of having the city destroyed, my house destroyed and my peace and quiet destroyed. Learn to get along so the whole damn city can relax would you?]

"Screw this. I'm going home."

"Shizuo. You'd have to go to Izaya's place if you wanted to go home," Shinra pointed out.

"Damn it! I'm not letting that monster into my house!" Izaya stood up but he felt a little wobbly. He was six inches taller right now than what he was used to.

"Shizu-chan, why do you have to be so tall...?"

"Shut it flea. You're too short! And unless you want to be seen heading to my house, I gotta go to yours!" It was probably a bit funny seeing and hearing Izaya talk and act like Shizuo, and vice versa, but that was beside the point.

"You don't even know where I live? How will you deal with my clients anyways? Everyone is going to know you're not me if you keep acting so... so... so you!"

"Well you're acting like you while you're me!"

"Tch... the best thing is for us to live together... we'll go to my place, I can brief you on which clients are which," Shit, Namie was still there too... he'd figure that out later, Shizuo could send her home early.

"Fine. You should probably grab some clothes from my place then. Else you'll be wearing the same thing for days on end." He was still glaring though, and was rather pissed at the whole situation. "You'll have to work with Tom too."

"Gah! Fine~! Here's our plan! We get a cab, go to your place, pick things up, get back in the cab go to my place. You send my secretary home for the day while I hide in the stairwell then I go in and brief you on how to do my job. We can shuffle them around so that I'm in the shadows if anything happens. Sound good?" He asked.

"Tch. Good enough. Who's calling the cab?"

"You. Call... give me my phone," He held a hand out for it.

Shizuo dug around Izaya's pockets until he found the phone. "Here," He huffed a bit. This really was stupid and he didn't like it. Izaya typed in the number and handed it back, "Use my name and sound... I dunno, more like me ne~?"

"Tch. Shut up." He waited until the company picked up. "Orihara Izaya. I need a cab at this address." It was all he dared to do. Otherwise he knew he was going to mess things up. After the call ended, he shoved the phone back into his pocket. "There."

Izaya sighed, "Let's swap wallets too, I can't use your cards you can't use mine... except the ID..." He dug around until he found Shizuo's. "This is pretty ratty..."

"Shut up! I don't make much money. And how would that work? Aren't cards registered by name? If I gave you your stuff, it'd look like I was using it." Shizuo huffed angrily, not digging Izaya's wallet from his pockets.

"Yes but you haven't got my pin numbers and I'm not about to give them to you!" Izaya huffed, "Besides, it's not like shop keepers are going to check our ID for every time we use a credit card or bank card!"

"Fine you fucking flea." Shizuo dug out Izaya's wallet from his pocket before throwing it at Izaya.

Izaya caught it and tossed Shizuo the other wallet, happy the ...well this was confusing. Shizuo technically was neither blonde, a bodyguard or... well anything he used to be. Shizuo pulled his ID out of the wallet before handing it to Izaya. "Take this and give me your ID. The cab should be here soon." Izaya switched with him and when the cab arrived it was up to Shizuo to give his address first since Izaya didn't know where the other lived.
