Celty pov:

My phone rang and I clicked answer. It was izaya ' come to... ' he asked me to go to a certain place. That anxiousness in his voice. It's the first time.

I take my bike there and I see manna in his arms. He had  a serious face on.

Izaya: we're going to find shinra.

I expand my bike with my black shadows and allowed them to sit at the back. We rushed to shinra's house. It's not like I want to... But... Manna seems really hurt.

So we reached shinra's house.

Izaya: shinra. Do something.

Shinra: woah.... And... Celty?

Celty: help manna first.

So shinra opearates onto manna.

Celty: I don't know if she'll be ok.

Izaya: what do you mean?

Celty: manna never told you?

Izaya: she hides a lot of things from me.

Celty: even as a shinigami, she is half human. Different from the others.

Izaya: shinigami?

Celty: ah. She doesn't reap people's soul like the others. She gives those who have sinned badly who deserved to die,another chance to live. In another words, redemption. They're to never kill again, never to repeat the hugest crime they have committed. Their redemption is... To serve manna. Manna is their supervisor.

Izaya: supervisor. Thought it was something along that line. So they broke the rule and killed people. So she had to kill them.

Celty: correct. She can see people's past through their eyes. She can retrieve information off the net. She can command people's soul. In simply, she made a lot of contracts with Master to earn the powers she has now.

Izaya: you said she is half human. Hehe. Manna... Contracts huh... Sounds like her.

Celty: izaya... You love manna right?

Izaya: what are you talking about? Manna and I...  We're mutual about each other. Pieces. Treasured pieces.

celty: you know manna doesn't feel that about you.

izaya: urusei. How's having your head?

celty: I don't have it.

Shinra comes out with gloves on his hand at this time ' she is sewed up. She doesn't seem to be conscious.I just need to confirm something...' he pushes up his glasses.

celty: what?

shinra: manna... does she have a heartbeat? Her heart look rotten from a long time that's why I am asking.

celty: manna doesn't have a heartbeat. She's half shinigami. Shinigami are dead beings in the first place. With a special soul in place in a rotten human body.

shinra: like you.

celty: urusei.

shinra: I thought so. Than I can't know if she's alive. Its either... she's...dead. Or she is just unconscious.

celty: manna's nodachi. If it has't dissapear, that means she's still alive.

Izaya goes into the room and flaps open her jacket. It looked like a deep black of nothingness. You can't see anything from the surface, or see anything by lookng deeper. He puts his hand in hoping to grab onto a blade. He feels for something like a sheathe and pulls it out. 

izaya: there.

Izaya pov:

Suddenly flashes of what seems to be memories flashes past me. 

I am dead....? Ah... right. I got knocked, no I mean squished by two cars. the twins hate me that much. What easily jealous people. Nothing to hold onto this world...  I am glowing?

Ah. Right, better not let izaya know I am dead. He probably won't cry over me, but at least the impression dissapeared is better than dead. Alright I am going to make the twins not say anything about this.

The funeral... izaya...? How did he know? I thought he couldn't have known. Which baka told him. Ah, the twins behind him. I see.

' manna... I will miss you. ' he leaned in close to my coffin. I blush.

Izaya... I promise. I will protect you.

' manna.' a cloaked guy approached me. What is he? Why doesn't anyone see him? If someone could, he would be killed by the family members already. Being this stupid mansion doesn't just allow anyone in.

manna: wha are you?

'shinigami. I am here to take you away.To hell.'

manna: right. 

He started waving his scythe at me. I dodged and somehow managed to kill him easily. And he turns into dust.

I lived on right beside izaya as a wandering soul. I sometimes wished he would be able to see me....

'manna.' the same kind of guy.

manna: I will kill you.

' let me offer you a job. Do you want izaya to see you?'

manna: you're gonna make me human again?

'not exactly. Its a job. In exchange for living again.'

manna: what kind?

' controlling people who killed others and deserve death, hell. You are going to give them a chance to redeem themselves. I have seen your skills and determination. You fit the job.'

manna: why me? I killed.

' you can control yourself. You understand humans. You know who to kill and not to kill. I will allow you to reincarnate if you die. '

Manna: die? I'm dead.

' you're gonna be half human. Your soul that is. '

manna: whatever. ok than I accept.

My state of mind suddenly returned to where I was. At shinra's house. Tsk... so in the past when  I have the feeling of someone stalking me, it was you?

izaya: so she is still alive.

The blade suddenly starts to dissapear.

celty: manna...

The jacket on her also starts to dissapear, than something rolls onto the floor. It was...celty's head.

Its eyes were closed and celty picked up her head. She picked up her head and hugged it, finding it after it has been lost so long, finding something she wanted for a very long time.

shinra: celty !!!

He hugged her by the back ' isn't that great?!!! So? Any memories?'

celty: shinra... is that all I am worth? A head, lips to kiss.

shinra: What... no. I just... didn't want you to get so obsessed over it. I just hoped... that you would look at me as someone more lovable than the head.

She turned around to hug him 'you are....'

shinra: looks like I got jealous for nothing.

celty: than the photo...

shinra: manna forced it on me.

'well... she isn't anymore.' I said with a sad tone 'she's dissapearing.' I continued with a cheery tone. ' I will be back. '

celty: izaya...

shinra: izaya... he really liked manna neh. Is this what they call retribution? In return for messing people.

celty: shinra !!!

shinra: joking. Joking.

celty: something is weird shinra.

shinra: hm?

celty: my memories... they aren't coming back.

shinra: are you serious?

celty: ah... maybe... getting my head back doesn't do anything...

shinra: maybe because your eyes aren't open?

celty: oh. You're right. 

.......

celty: shinra...

shinra: hai?

celty: I can't open it either.

shinra: eh ?!!!! and its your own eyes.

celty: sigh... so much for nothing neh. And manna did so much. Is there we can do? Shinra.

shinra: how would I know. I don't take charge of shinigamis.

celty: right... we need to call Master... but I don't know how.
