Terror Tactics

Italics in this chapter are Kadota's memories.

It was a pretty normal day in Ikebukuro. There had just been several new manga releases so while Erika and Walker fan-girled/boyed like crazy, Saburo and Kadota waited in the van.

Like normal.

Except everything wasn't completely the same.

"Hey Kadota..?" Saburo started.

"Huh? Oh, um what?"

Yes, something was definitely off.

"Hey, are you okay man? You've been real jumpy lately…"

"Oh um… it's nothing really. Sorry."

Saburo looked skeptical, but didn't argue. "If you say so. I'm gonna go get a drink then… you want one?"

"… I'm okay, thanks."

Saburo got out of the van and headed for the nearest vending machine, shaking his head. "Kadota needs to get it together… We already have two crazy people in this group, we don't need another…"

Sighing and sliding back against his seat, Kadota put his head in his hands. He had been pretty freaked out recently, but that was only because he was so terrified of seeing-

"Hello Dotachin."

"I-Izaya!"

Leaning against the van door, the raven smiled. "Mind if we go for a walk? You and I need to have a little… chat."

Kadota flinched before smiling back somewhat shakily. "Uh, actually, I'm waiting for my friends so-"

"Dotachin." The raven's smile never faltered, but his tone had frozen like ice.

"Uh, what?"

"Now."

"…. Okay." Stepping out of the van, Kadota tried not to tremble, or at least not obviously.

Of course, as hard as he tried, Izaya wasn't an infamous informant for nothing! He laughed.

"Relax Dotachin! I just wanna ask you a few questions…"

"Right…" They started walking in silence, Izaya waiting for Kadota to feel more comfortable. Then he'd be more likely to answer his questions truthfully.

After a minute or so Kadota cleared his throat, feeling uncomfortable with the silence. "So, what did you want to ask me?"

Izaya grinned over at him. "Come now Dotachin~ you're a smart guy. You know what this is about."

Kadota gulped. "Well, uh, n-not really-"

"Don't lie to me Dotachin," Izaya growled, glaring now. "You remember that day, all those years ago!"

"Ah, oh Shizu-chan, harder!"

Blushing furiously, Kadota turned his face away from the informant. "Um, I don't-"

"Dotachin!" Izaya practically hissed. "The day at Raijin when you walked in on me and Shizu-"

"Alright, alright! I remember!" Kadota shouted, desperate for Izaya to stop talking, desperate for the images in his head to go away.

"Ah! Oh fuck, Shizuo! I-I'm gonna-!"

"Ah, Izaya, me too!"

"Ah, ah! … huh? D-Dotachin? What are you doing here?"

"What the hell Kadota? What the hell!"

"Dotachin-!"

"Dotachin!"

"Huh?" Startled from his nightmarish memories, he turned his focus back to a seething Izaya.

"I do not like being ignored, Dotachin!"

Kadota flinched. "Look, I swear, I never told anyone-"

"Then why does she know?"

Kadota blanched. "How do you even know about that?"

"So you did tell her!"

"No! She, she just has fantasies! All the time, about lots of different people! You just happen to be one of them!"

"Why am I paired with Shizuo? Why does she know the details of our relationship? Why does she know?"

"I don't know! I swear! I told her nothing! Just please, don't hurt me or try to ruin my life, or anything, please." Kadota paused before adding, almost as an afterthought, "Or Erika's."

Izaya eyed him intensely for a moment before laughing. "Oh Dotachin, you should see your face right now! Hilarious! You look so scared!" Izaya face turned somber abruptly. "You should be scared."

Kadota stood tensed for a moment before sighing. "Well, I'm terrified."

"Good. But really Dotachin, you don't have to worry. I've kept tabs on you for years, ever since that day! I know you didn't say anything," Izaya explained, grinning wickedly.

Kadota flinched before snapping "Then why did you interrogate me?"

"Just want you to know I'm still watching you," Izaya shrugged and started to walk off. "Oh, and because it was funny."

Kadota gaped after Izaya. "You little bastard-!"

He broke off as Izaya turned back, smiling happily. "You know, I could have just sicced Shizu-chan on you. You really should show some gratitude for that," Izaya jeered, laughing as Kadota's face paled.

Score for Orihara, bitches.
