~Sweet Decoy~

By: Aerys Krystie.

Theme: AU – five months after Sweet Deception.

Plot: Kaname and Zero knew that when a vampire marries the son of the devil nothing is going to be easy. They just never expected it to be so difficult, either. With the stress of having their own children and some sleepless nights, they really didn't need random nightly visits from demons, random day visits from the devil or a trip to the Himalayas. Exactly what is going on and why did it have to happen so close to the wedding?

Warnings: I don't know…What warnings did I have on Sweet Deception? Um…Yaoi, slight sexual content and male/female kissing plus a load of insane and sappy bullshit. Complete and utter OOC for Kaname, Zero and well, everyone.

Disclaimer: Everything of and referring to Vampire Knight is not mine. I barely claim rights to my crappy OCs and this is a free story for entertainment purposes only.

Zero collapsed onto the sofa and closed his eyes, enjoying the peace and quiet. He had finally gotten their children to sleep and that was becoming more and more of a chore each month. They seemed to grow more restless as they got older. Zero wasn't looking forward to them hitting school or to them learning how to walk and talk. He was counting down the minutes until they were grown up and moving out to college so he and Kaname could retire properly and never worry about it again.

That was one set of stress. The other was trying to find a gift for Tsuki and Yuuki that the demon couldn't make appear out of thin air. The wedding was the following Saturday and Zero had been helping Yuuki with the decorations, along with Yori. Thankfully Yori had taken care of the invitations, the flower arrangements and had helped Yuuki with her dress. She had also taken care of the hen's night and it was left to Zero and Kaname to figure out something to do for Tsuki's bachelor's night.

The demon had already threatened to slaughter their children if they got him a stripper. He threatened to make Zero watch as he peeled Kaname's skin from his live body if they suggested playing Monopoly or Scrabble. He threatened to make Zero eat a live grenade and force him into a family hug if Kaname barred alcohol from the house that night. Knowing that the demon probably would live up to his threats, Kaname and Zero had settled for a movie night.

Zero groaned as he heard giggling from the kids' room. He got to his feet and poked his head through into the room, turning on a wall lamp. The children were still asleep and he frowned slightly. That was just what he needed. The giggle sounded again and Zero cursed softly, turning the lamp off and closing the door slightly. He recognized that chortle and it wasn't exactly someone he had the energy to deal with at the moment. She didn't seem to care as she appeared in front of him.

"Hi, Zero!" Alice greeted chirpily.

"Alice, keep it down. I just got them to sleep." Zero motioned to the door and Alice gazed at it blankly.

"Trust me, they won't wake. I placed a sleeping spell on them that will break if they're touched by someone or something. I only came to ask a question. Is it true?" She looked up at Zero, her blue eyes probing his own and Zero shifted, not liking it when Alice was serious like that.

"Is what true? And why have you placed a sleeping spell on my children, your soon-to-be nephews-in-law?" Zero looked around the girl as something clattered in direction of the kitchen. "Stay here and don't touch anything. Don't teleport, either." Zero stepped around Alice, hand on Bloody Rose.

"Hey, I saw it first!" someone argued and Zero relaxed his grip. It was probably more of his soon to be in-laws. If they were going to make random visits in the middle of the night, he and Kaname might have to give serious consideration to moving.

"You didn't see it first!"

Zero stepped into the kitchen and saw two shadows fighting in front of the fridge light. He sighed and turned the lights on. Lucian and Gregori froze, staring at the Hunter like he wasn't meant to be there. Zero would give anything to be in another time and place. It was the first time he'd had to deal with any of Tsuki's relatives without the demon around and Alice's question was still playing on his mind. He needed answers and he wanted them now.

"Put the cupcake back in the fridge and close the damn door before I kick the shit out of you," Zero told them as he stepped out of the kitchen. Why in the hell were two demons fighting over a chocolate cupcake? More importantly, what kind of an idiot puts a cupcake in the fridge? Zero shook his head. They were questions that could wait. It seemed that none of the racket was going to wake Kaname and that was a good thing. Kaname was being grouchy lately and it might have something to do with the broken sleep patterns and general stress of having to raise children plus help with a wedding.

Zero went back to the living room. "Oh fuck!" He waited for his heart to calm down before he glared at the other nieces and nephews of Tsuki. "Why are all of you here? I pretty sure it would only take one person to question me."

Aneesina – or was it Annahlyza? – shrugged. "We decided to pay you a little visit and see how our new nephews are doing."

"You'll see them at the wedding. Now piss off. I'd like to get some sleep before they wake up for their midnight feed." Zero glared at them and as a unit they tilted their heads.

"Uncle Tsuki has a better glare," they said in unison before disappearing.

"Alice!" Zero waited impatiently as the girl walked into the living room, the cupcake half-eaten in her hand. "I'm pretty sure that was Kaname's last cupcake that Yuuki made him."

Alice's mouth hung open as she stared the cupcake like it was a snake. She suddenly frowned and shook her head. "No, Yuuki didn't make it. Uncle Tsuki did. He used three different brands of chocolate in. Expensive ones, too. Belgium and Swiss for sure."

"That doesn't matter. What are you doing here, questioning me about if something's true?" Zero rubbed his eyes. "Since they were born I have not been getting the recommended amount of sleep. So I'm tired, my back is aching, I got a scar the size of Nebraska on my stomach –"

"Only because you didn't let Uncle Tsuki heal it."

"And Kaname hasn't been giving me any sort of play. So just ask your fucking question so I can answer it and you can leave." There had to be a way to demon-proof the house. Kaname was not going to be happy when he found out that they were getting random, late night visits from the other side of the family.

Alice finished the last of the cupcake quickly and looked into Zero's eyes again. "Is it true?"

Zero growled. "Get out!" Alice flinched but nodded and evaporated from the room. Zero turned the light off and went to the downstairs bedroom. He looked at Kaname's sleeping face and lowered his eyes. Things had to get better, right? He undressed and climbed into bed, turning his back to his lover. They were in the middle of the storm and it was about to pass…Right?

Kaname opened his eyes and found Zero nestled into his chest. Usually by the time he woke up, Zero was already up and getting things ready for the day. It would be a nice change for him to sleep in. Kaname kissed the top of his lover's head and moved out of his grip, trying not to wake him. It seemed that Zero was more worn out than the pureblood anticipated as he didn't even groan or show sign that he had been disturbed. That was a good thing but that meant that the children hadn't been fed yet.

Kaname checked up on the boys and saw they were still asleep. He frowned slightly. That was the first time in their two months of life they had slept through the night. He turned to leave and jumped as Alice stood behind him. "Son of a…What are you doing here?" he whispered.

"Don't worry; I fed them through the night so you and Zero could get some sleep. You both look like hell." Alice smiled and skipped out of the nursery.

Kaname blinked. Being told you look like hell from a demon was a sure sign that you were taking care of children. He followed Alice into the kitchen and made himself a cup of tea. "What brings you here, Alice?"

Alice sat down at the small table in the kitchen and watched Kaname. "Uncle Tsuki mentioned a few things. Namely how tired you and Zero are. So, I thought I would give you guys a helping hand! Let you get some rest; babysit if you need me to. I know that Uncle Tsuki is hell busy with the wedding, otherwise he would've offered."

Kaname finished making his tea and sat opposite of Alice, studying her eyes. They still sparkled like he remembered them but there was something else in them. She was forcing herself to be as happy as she normally was. "Is something wrong, Alice? You look scared."

Alice shifted and lowered her eyes. "Well, Uncle Tsuki made an announcement yesterday to us kids about some people that might be attending the wedding, Gramps doesn't know yet and we're hoping he was only joking about it."

Kaname sipped his tea, trying to understand what the demon was ranting about. He didn't know about the guest list, just that he, Zero and the Vampire Council were invited, so Yuuki would have some old, familiar faces in the crowd. "Who has he invited that has you all worried?"

"Alice, you should be with Yuuki for the fitting of your dress," Tsuki said from the entrance to the kitchen. His niece pouted by disappeared from the house. "How's it going, Kaname?" Tsuki opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water, along with a chocolate cake.

"Help yourself." Kaname watched as Tsuki threw himself into the chair that Alice had been sitting in, a fork appearing in his hand as he began to eat the cake. "Care to tell me what has your nieces and nephews freaked out?"

Tsuki blew on the bottle before opening it and taking a large gulp. "Ah, that's much better. Why do you freaks have to refrigerate your water? It's better at room temperature."

Kaname raised an eyebrow. "Who have you invited to the wedding?"

"Satan's brothers."

"I figured they would automatically be invited, seeing as they are your uncles."

Tsuki gazed at Kaname with dead eyes that suddenly sparked with life as he stood up and moved around to stand behind the vampire, the bottle and cake in his hands. "His angelic brothers, Kaname."

Kaname spat out the tea that was in his mouth, accepting the tissue from Tsuki to clean himself up. "Are you insane?" Kaname wiped up his mess. "You really think angels exist?"

"Okay, I knew you were stupid but I didn't think you were this stupid." Tsuki sat down again and finished his water. "If the devil – who is still an angel – and demons exist then what's keep them in check? Michael and the other angels, of course. Even though he was kicked from heaven, Lucifer still sees them as his brothers and I didn't want them to feel left out. Yuuki and I are getting married before the eyes of god, after all." He finished the cake and ignored the strange look he got from Kaname by doing so.

"That's just a little difficult to believe, Tsuki. Angels?"

"You're insane," Tsuki answered as he got to his feet and walked around the kitchen. "Why would I invite angels to my wedding? I don't want the apocalypse to happen there. Yuuki would never forgive me."

"I think that's a little…steep. But you just said you invited them." Kaname frowned as he watched Tsuki creeping around the kitchen. "What are you doing?"

"Someone's listening."

Kaname got to his feet. "I'm going to check on the boys and when I get back, we're finishing this talk. I don't like feeling as though I'm insane. I had enough of that when you were at Cross."

"Kaname…don't move. There's a powerful motherfucker in the house."

"Tsuki –"

"Yes, way more powerful than you. Oh fuck me!" Tsuki stormed past Kaname and out of the kitchen.

Kaname winced when he heard a scream and crying. He was expecting it but shock still settled on his face when Tsuki walked back into the kitchen, dragging Lucifer by his ear. "Welcome to my home, Lucifer."

Lucifer smiled childishly at Kaname. "Hi, Kuran-san! Ow! Tsu-chan! Do you have to be so rough with me?" He pouted as he forced into a chair, a juice box and a cupcake appearing in front of him. His eyes lit up. "Thank you, Tsu-chan!"

Kaname blinked. It really was too early in the morning to be dealing with the devil and his son. "I thought the devil couldn't come up to earth whenever he felt like it?"

Lucifer snorted, looking serious, except for a smudge of chocolate around the left corner of his mouth. "What bible are you reading from? I'm allowed on earth whenever the hell I feel like it, just as the angels are. Of course, you don't see them that often as they don't like making appearances." He went goofy again and Kaname was still holding onto the belief that Lucifer and Kaien were related, somehow. "But to know that my only son has invited them to his wedding is magical! I can't wait to see them again!"

Kaname rubbed his eyes. "So angels do exist?"

"You can't rule something out of existence because you've never seen it before, Kaname. You knew Lucifer existed before you even met him." Tsuki wiped his father's mouth, who grinned at him around the straw of the juice box. "Even if he is nothing like you thought he would be."

Kaname watched the two of them. So far Tsuki hadn't called him father any names and was taking care of him. "Why are you in my house, Lucifer?"

"I wanted to see your children. You haven't brought them down to meet me so I thought I would come up to them." Lucifer brushed his blond locks out of his eyes as he stared at Kaname. "That and to tell you that they're –"

"Special. They're very special kids. Can I talk to you for a minute, dad?" Tsuki didn't wait for an answer from the devil and gabbed his arm, dragging him out the kitchen door and onto the back porch.

Kaname listened to their words, even if he couldn't understand it. The language wasn't one he had ever heard used before. It was quite musical. It didn't sound like the language of demons and Kaname frowned. Was that angelic dialect they were speaking? That didn't seem right. One was the first of the fallen and the other was his son, a demon. How would Tsuki know the language? Unless he spent time with his angelic uncles. Would Lucifer allow that?

"What's going on, Kaname?" Zero asked as he stood beside his partner, staring out the window. "Please tell me this is a nightmare. I don't want that idiot around our children!"

"He's about to become family, Zero. I don't think we'll be able to stop him from visiting. We might be able to get him to call first instead of appearing out of thin air and scaring his own son half to death."

"Tsuki was scared?" Zero snickered. "I would've love to have seen that!"

"He wasn't scared, per se. The thing that worries me is that I didn't pick up on the devil being here. I'm still trying to get over the fact that he is here. I can't sense him, at all." Kaname shook his head.

"That's the least of your worries, you idiots."

Kaname and Zero turned around to see Aneesina – or was it Annahlyza? – holding their children. "What are you doing here?" Zero demanded. "Didn't I tell you to get out last night?"

"Last night?"

"All fifteen of them showed up. All wanting to know if it was true. I don't know what they were ranting about," Zero explained as he took Hoshiko from Aneesina's – or was it Annahlyza's? – arm.

"They wanted to know if it was true that Tsuki invited the angels to the wedding."

Zero blanched. "A-angels? As in fluffy wings, messengers of god angels?"

"There's only one that has wings," Lucifer revealed as he stepped back inside. "And that's Michael."

"I think I remember that story," Kaname mused. "You were chained to the pit because of him. He had a sword to your throat and everything. The last time you saw him; you were cowering and begging for mercy." A smirk appeared on Kaname's lips.

"Hey, Kuran, shut your trap. No-one speaks to my father that way but me. With your children in the room, you might not want to piss him off, either. I suggest you apologize before I make you." Tsuki narrowed his eyes at the vampire.

"No, no, Tsuki, it's okay. He's tired and doesn't want to deal with demons while he has two children to take care of." Lucifer gave a smile that didn't reflect in his eyes. "I'll see you all at the wedding, then."

Once his father was out of the room, Tsuki sighed and walked over to Kaname, punching the vampire and knocking him to the floor. "You're an idiot. He actually came up here to offer you his protection for your children and that's how you treat him?" Tsuki shook his head. "Annahlyza, hand Hideaki to his father, we're leaving."

Annahlyza pouted. "Okay," she said in a baby voice and rubbed her nose against the child's and then handed him to Zero. "I'll see you at the wedding."

Kaname picked himself up. "Wait, protection from what?"

"Too late, dipshit. You lost your chance. And for the record, my father killed three demons that were trying to take your children before I sensed him." Annahlyza waved as Tsuki held her shoulder and they disappeared.

Zero went into the living room and laid his children on their backs beneath their favorite toys. He went back into the kitchen and checked Kaname's cheek. "Are you okay?"

Kaname nodded. "I'm fine. I'm lucky he held back or it would take quite some time for my head to re-grow back onto my shoulders."

"Good." Zero punched Kaname's other cheek. "What is wrong with you? If our children are being targeted why in the fuck did you send Lucifer away when he was willing to offer his protection against the demons?"

"I didn't know that was the purpose of his visit. I thought he was here because Tsuki was confirming that he had invited the angels to the wedding and also wanted to see our children since it is the first time he has seen them."

"So we're not proud that our grandfather-in-law is the devil, Kaname. Not many people would be. Yuuki is thrilled to have a famous father, of course and she has a demon that can meet her every need and desire. Damn, she scored well! Maybe we should go and see her more often. She's only seen her nephews twice since they were born."

"Yuuki aside, Zero, our children are being targeted by demons. Demons stupid enough to try and take on the devil. What Tsuki could do them wouldn't be nice but what the devil could do? That would be damn nasty. I want to know why our children are so special." Kaname looked at Zero.

"Maybe it has something to do with you being their father and the fact that a male gave birth to them." Zero lowered his eyes. "If our kids are special, what will happen when Tsuki and Yuuki have kids? I mean, Yuuki's a pureblood vampire and Tsuki is direct blood from Lucifer. And now angels? Yuuki is not going to be happy if the apocalypse happens at her wedding."

"Funny, Tsuki said something very similar when he made me feel like I was insane for mentioning angels." Kaname sighed and went into the living room. "How are we going to keep them safe, Zero? I didn't sense the demons and by the time Tsuki did it would've been too late if Lucifer hadn't been here." He looked down at his children and smiled.

"Easy. You bring the devil back here and you fucking apologize to him for acting like a moron. I doubt Tsuki will even bother about returning here after the way you treated his father. By the way, what the hell was up with that?" Zero frowned as he remembered the scene. Tsuki hadn't been like himself at all. He hadn't hit Lucifer or called him any names. In fact, it was like being in the Twilight Zone when Tsuki referred to Lucifer as his father and demanded that Kaname apologize to him.

Kaname nodded. He knew he would have to apologize to Tsuki as well because he didn't want the demon to do anything to him or Zero and it was well within the demon's power to do whatever he wanted to anyone that annoyed him. The last thing he needed was to relive the worst moment of his life. "I know. How does someone call the devil, anyway?"

"Vampire."

Kaname looked at the person that was standing beside him. "Demon."

The woman smirked and circled Kaname. "What is a pureblood vampire doing in a place like this? I think this is a little outside of your price range, no matter how well off you are, Kuran Kaname."

Kaname smiled. "You seem to know my name. May I ask yours?"

"Idiot. It's me, Starling. Tsuki's oldest sister. I know you only met me the once but I was certain that you would remember who I was." She shook her head and flipped her hair over her shoulder. "So what are you doing here? Vampires aren't exactly welcomed here, you know."

"I figured that when I translated the name of this place – Comedite Diaboli. Which loosely means 'devil's food'. So yeah, I figured I wasn't going to be getting a singing entourage when I arrived. It's still better than people making sure everything is perfect and that I get served first." Kaname glanced at the door, waiting for his 'date' to arrive.

Starling laughed. "You hate having to wait, especially for your 'date'. Why didn't you tell the maitre 'd that you want the devil's table?"

Kaname narrowed his eyes slightly. "I tried that; he laughed at me. Said something about the devil never dining with a bloodhound like me or it could've been that my father is a bloodhound. My Latin isn't that good."

Starling nodded. "I'm sure that he meant well. If you mention it to daddy he'll make sure the guy is killed and a new one takes over." She smiled at Kaname and slipped past the demon that was the maitre 'd and back to her date.

Kaname sighed and hovered around. It had taken him over three hours to find the restaurant that was in the middle of nowhere and guarded by spells and wards. It was actually a random stranger that told Kaname where it was and disappeared before he could thank them. He had brushed up on his Latin a little so he could try and figure out the name of the place. He knew his accent was atrocious but did the stranger have to laugh at him that way?

As he waited, Kaname tried to ignore the whispers. It wasn't a warm and fuzzy emotion to feel as though everyone in the building thought you were below them. There were a few demons that he could take on and kill but there were a lot more that could kill him. And he didn't want Satan's favorite dining place to become a bloodbath before he showed up. In fact, Kaname got the feeling that when people saw him with the devil, they would soon change their tone about him. It was amazing that it hadn't gotten around that he was the brother of the girl that was about to marry the devil's son.

"No-one cares about the brother of the bride, Kaname. They only care about the bride and groom and you can bet your ass that Tsuki isn't going to ask you to be his best man."

Kaname spun around and stared into dark blue eyes that had flecks of silver in them. "Mikhail."

"Bingo." Mikhail smirked as he lent against the podium that the reservation book was on.

"How do you know he isn't going to ask me to be his best man at my sister's wedding?" Kaname glared at the demon. They were on earth and that meant he was more powerful.

Mikhail laughed mockingly. "Are you serious? We're on earth so that makes you more powerful than someone who has the blood of Lucifer in his DNA strand? I have pure evil coursing through my veins and you think that a lowly demon like a vampire can cause any sort of damage to me?" Mikhail's eyes sparkled smugly. "And I know he isn't going to ask you to be his best man because he's already asked me."

"You?" Kaname screwed his nose up as he looked Mikhail over. "You don't even know my sister."

"I don't care about your sister. I only care about my uncle. She makes my uncle happy. You, however…" Mikhail stepped up to Kaname and looked down the three inches he was taller by. "…you don't. In fact, you piss him off. He has never referred to Gramps as his father before. Oh yes, Annahlyza told us all about what happened. How you were willing to sacrifice the safety of your own flesh and blood just to take a cheap shot at the devil."

"I didn't know," Kaname defended, staring into Mikhail's rather beautiful eyes.

"You didn't give him a chance to speak. If you shut your mouth once in a while, you might actually be happy in this life. Tsuki has done everything he can think of to protect you, your mate and your children. He has done everything he can think of to make you happy."

"Look, kid –"

"Don't you call me kid. I'm older than you." Mikhail placed a hand on Kaname's shoulder and by the time the vampire removed it, they were on a tall peak in the Himalayas. "You know, Kuran, my uncle is quite special himself. There were only three people that could ever speak with Gabriel or Raphael. And only two of those three were ever allowed to speak with Michael."

"And let me guess, your uncle Tsuki was one of the two evil entities that could speak with Michael?" Kaname couldn't resist rolling his eyes.

"No, actually. My other uncle – before he was kicked from the family and then eventually committed suicide three months after he was made mortal – was the second person that could speak with Michael. Tsuki never wanted the honor. He wanted to be as human as possible and that's why the angels took such an interest in him. Lucifer noticed that, too, naturally and tried to make both of his boys as good as possible. Or in our case, as evil as possible." Mikhail slipped his hands into the pockets of his jeans and paced back and forth.

"What does this little discussion have to do with anything? And why did you take me away from a dinner date with the devil?" Kaname blinked and ran that last part through his head again.

"Lucifer was not going to show up. He sent you there to be ridiculed by the other demons. He stopped eating at that place when he found out why he was hungry thirty minutes later. He eats in a place that's off the main, baron highway in Nevada. In fact, because of the disrespect you showed him, he's thinking of removing his blessing from Tsuki so he can't marry your sister." Mikhail paused and stared at Kaname. "Do you really think a pureblood vampire is the only creature that demands respect?"

"If we're so lowly on the command chain of demons, why are we feared as much as demons are?" Kaname raised an eyebrow.

Mikhail snickered and stepped closer. "Who do you think is controlling you? The other purebloods, they're all puppets, too. You're being manipulated by Yuuki, whose strings are being pulled by Tsuki. If he tells her that the wedding is off, she'll automatically blame you." He went back to pacing. "But, why are you making the devil come up to you? Are you really that embarrassed to have the devil as your father-in-law?"

Kaname stared at the snow that was at his feet. "I'm getting lectured about this by you? What gives you the right to even be in my presence without bowing before me? You might have the blood of Lucifer in your veins but it isn't as strong as Tsuki's." Kaname's eyes widened and his head snapped up. "You're not Mikhail."

"Bingo! Enjoy your time here. Not even the devil can track you now."

Kaname watched as the demon in front of him disappeared. He looked around and all he saw was blinding white. A cold breeze picked up, making the loose snow swirl and dance. With a sigh, he looked up to the sky. "Fuck!"

Tsuki stood in the doorway to his bedroom and watched as his bride-to-be slept, while he finished eating a cheesecake. He still hadn't told her that her brother was missing, even if he didn't care about the damn vampire. Lucifer said that Kaname had been at the restaurant but no-one saw him leave. They had five days to find Kaname in time for the wedding. What the hell was going on?

Tsuki turned his head slightly and smirked. Something was there to play with him. He left the doorway and went down the hall into the living room and across to the kitchen, the empty box disappearing from his hands. He grabbed the person that was raiding his fridge by the throat and pinned them to the table. The person laughed and it was a sound that Tsuki recognized but the scent wasn't the same.

"Uncle! Uncle! Peanuts! Banana! Red? What's the safe word this time, Uncle Tsuki?"

"Meat hook," Tsuki whispered.

"Meat hook? Why meat hook?"

"Because that's what you're going to get acquainted with after you tell me where my nephew is, where my brother-in-law is and why you're cosplaying as my nephew." The lights in the kitchen flicked on and Tsuki stared down at the face of Mikhail.

"I could be Kyrien, you know."

Tsuki raised an eyebrow and a scream ripped from the pinned demon's throat. "Everyone knows that Mikhail is my favorite and he's the best way to get to me. What you morons also seem to forget is that we can smell our own family. You don't have a lick of my father's blood in your system." Another scream. "So, where is my nephew, my brother-in-law and why are you trying to get Hoshiko and Hideaki?"

Mikhail chuckled. "You know exactly why we're after them. Because you don't have any children of your own. As soon as you do, we could give two shits about some vampire's offspring. We're waiting for yours, Tsuki. We've always been waiting for yours."

Tsuki smiled. "Is that so? If you can't even get a lowly vampire's offspring, what chance do you have of getting mine?" Tsuki pushed himself off of the demon, a scream of agony echoing through his house as the demon in front of him smoldered into the table. "That was fun. Come on out, boys."

Tsuki sighed as the demonic presences around his home disappeared. He forgot how cowardly demons were. He counted backwards from three in his mind and smirked, slipping out the front door. He strolled down the driveway casually and found the demon that was being held by one of his pets. "Okay, Cerberus. You go eat." The three-headed dog looked up at its master and ran off. "So, are you going to tell me where my nephew is?"

The demon laughed. "Like we would ever tell you anything!" she hissed.

Tsuki got down on one knee as two other demons swung maces towards his head and knocked the other out. "I know. You see, I already know where my nephew is because I'm the son of the fucking devil and there isn't a mind in hell or on earth that I can't get into. You were the ringleader of this circus." Tsuki turned slightly and pointed to a window on the first floor. "You see that window?" he asked and the demon nodded, flinching when there was a flash of light, followed by another three. "I don't appreciate it when scum like you try to kidnap my bride-to-be."

"I-I don't get it. If you know where your nephew is, why are you asking me to tell you?"

Tsuki shrugged. "I'm a fair demon. I would've let you live." He got to his feet and the demon he kneeling over went up in flames, along with the other two that were unconscious. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed his father's number. "Kaname's in the Himalayas. I'll get him. Mikhail is on Everest. I don't know what their deal is with mountains. Okay." He hung up and appeared in his bedroom, kissing Yuuki's head. "I'm sorry, duty calls and I have to save your brother's ass…again."

Tsuki hovered for a few moments longer before straightening and trying to establish a link between him and the vampire. "I swear to my father and god, Kaname, that if you fuck up my honeymoon, I'll kill you." Even though murder is a sin, Tsuki would gladly commit it if his honeymoon was screwed up. He ported to the Himalayas and looked around. It was going to be so much fun finding a needle among needles.

Lucifer tapped his cell phone against his chin after Tsuki hung up. He looked at Hitomi, who was measuring him for his tuxedo for the wedding. She sighed and nodded, sitting back. "I should've known that something bad was going happen before my baby boy's big day. I can't believe this is only the first time that he's getting married."

"I know, honey. I'll be back as soon as possible and then we'll drag their butts down here so they will be protected and nothing more can go wrong before the wedding." Lucifer smiled at his wife as she got to her feet.

"Hello?"

Hitomi frowned and opened the door to the room, staring at the girl. "Yuuki? Why are you here, sweetie? Where's Tsu-chan?" She ushered the vampire in.

"I don't know. I just woke up here. I was hoping that maybe you knew?" Yuuki looked from Hitomi to Lucifer and back again.

Hitomi lowered her eyes. "Well, Tsu-chan has gone to save your brother, who let himself fall into a trap. He sent you here to protect you in case the demons try to do something stupid, again." She went over to a table and poured a cup of tea, taking it to Yuuki.

"Wait…Kaname is missing? Why am I only hearing about this now?" She accepted the tea and took a seat on the small sofa. "Thank you, Hitomi-sama."

"Mikhail is also missing," Lucifer revealed. "I'm about to bring him home and it shouldn't take Tsuki long to find your brother. Zero and the children should be arriving shortly, too. Tsuki doesn't want to take any chances, especially since Kaname made it clear that he doesn't want my protection."

Yuuki frowned slightly and looked at the devil. "That doesn't sound like Kaname. He'd want the –"

"Later, Yuuki. Right now saving my grandson is more important than your brother's tussled mind. I hope you don't think me a bastard but Mikhail is my family and Kaname is yours, until Saturday."

Yuuki shook her head. "I'm sorry. Don't let me keep you any longer than I already have."

Lucifer smiled and disappeared. He looked around the summit of Everest and sighed. Where would they stash a demon? Why would they pick Mikhail, of all demons? He was the youngest of him and his brother and the youngest grandchild in the family. What made him so special that a bunch of demons would kidnap him and incur the wrath of him, the devil? It wasn't that Mikhail was a weak demon and he certainly wasn't the strongest but he had a lot to learn from his uncle.

Lucifer paused and jumped down to a ledge. He shattered the ice that blocked an entrance to a cave and stepped inside, brushing off his jacket. He walked past the demons, killing them as he looked for his missing family member. He paused momentarily and kept walking, taking the right trail of the fork that came up. Someone was going through a lot of trouble to make sure the proverbial poopy hit the fan before the wedding.

"Do you really think that something as simple as running me through with a blessed, silver stake is going to work, you worthless whelp?" Lucifer turned around and stared at the person standing behind him, their arm still raised and ready to strike. "Did you really think you could catch me off guard? Humans never give me any credit!"

The human blinked as rivers of tears fell from the man's eyes. "I…I'm sorry?" the person offered.

Lucifer sniffled and wiped his eyes. "Not yet, you aren't." He turned around and carried on, the human's neck snapping like a twig.

Lucifer walked with a spring in his step. Killing humans wasn't something he did for fun. But when they were stupid enough to try and attack him, what else could he do? People that idiotic shouldn't be allowed to live – there was a possibility they might breed. He paused and stared at the wall beside a torch, seeing a reversed pentagram. Demons were doing satanic rituals? He tilted his head and growled. The bestial sound echoed throughout the cave. Some little scum-sucking bottom feeder had cut up his grandchild to do a reverse pentagram?

Not bothering with the scenic route any more, Lucifer appeared in the cavern where Mikhail was being held. Without thinking twice or even looking at anyone else in the room, they went up in flames. He removed the shackles from Mikhail's wrists. The boy tried to laugh and make light of the situation he was in but Lucifer just hushed him.

"If you make a smart ass remark about this I'm tanning your hide for the next century and then I'm going to hand you over to your uncle so he can do what he wants to you." Lucifer laid Mikhail in his bed.

"Yes, Grandfather." Mikhail gave a weak smile and his eyes fluttered shut. Lucifer sighed and left his grandson's room, telling everyone that was crowded in the hallway that he was fine. He left out that he hoped he was right about that.

End Chapter I.

And that's the fist chapter. There are a lot of mistakes so please ignore them. I promise to do some editing once I have enough energy for it.
So, what did you think? Thoughts and comments should be left in the beautiful form of a review and I'll see what I can do. But please, don't go on about how this needs editing. I'm aware of it.

Happy April Fools Day! You guys are lucky, by the way. I would've had my prank ready but mum told me to be nice. Pouting and stuffs.
But anyways, the second chapter is complete, too and that'll be up at some point. Probably around the Easter break or maybe even earlier than that! You never know...

So until the next chapter, have a great day and try not to do any sort of pranks that'll result with the other person ending up in hospital or yourself being in there or in jail. It's never fun to spend the first day of April in prison!

Peace!
