Sorry for updating pretty late. I've been… uh… lazy… But I've just recently got that writer's inspiration XD so I'll hopefully be updating more~ Hope you enjoy this chapter~...φ(・∀・*) writing~


"Would you like something to drink, Little Mikado?~" Spoke the older brunet as he sat across from the younger brunet.

"N-no thank you, O-Orihara-san!" the smaller squeaked unintentionally.

"Oh? Are you sure, Namie could get you anything." the older brunet spoke as he looked at the woman to his left with a smirk. The woman only stared, not in relief or tiredness, but in irritation.

"N-no thank you! I-I-'m fine…" Mikado spoke, trying to speak as clearly as possible.

He looked down to where his hands and knees were thinking back what'd just happened… he turned pale.

H-how did I end up getting kidnapped and taken to Orihara Izaya's house?


"-And then –and then he got hit by a flying tree!~" the blond laughed as he told about the weirdest things that happened in the forest.

They were following Kida as he led the way passed the several unfamiliar trees and shrubs to his home. Mikado followed right beside Anri as she followed behind Kida. He kept his eyes down as he listened to the unbelievable stories from the fox, occasionally looking up to stare at the two soft pointy ears in front of him.

"W-where'd the tree come from though?" Anri asked with curious ears.

"That's the fun part! It's a mystery! I bet it was sent from god to hit that sucker!" Kida laughed as he continued to walk the memorized path.

Kida turned his head to look at the two with the goofiest smile he had. Mikado stiffened, fear that he might've been caught staring too long at the pair of gold ears. Anri only smiled back to Kida, but began to giggle at the two as she noticed Mikado stiffen.

"Hey~ Mikado, you've been quiet for awhile now…" Kida stated with the sound of concern in his voice, "Are you okay? Are you tired?"

But before Mikado could respond, the blond leaped over to him, looking him in the eyes. Anri stood staring at the two with an unreadable expression from Mikado's point of view.

"W-what…" was all Mikado could say until one of Kida's hands reached out to touch his face, then his forehead. Mikado couldn't help but turn red from this sudden interaction from someone he just met a day ago.

"You don't seem to have a fever," Kida said as he turned around to feel his own forehead, "maybe we should take a break and cool off a bit."

"N-no! I'm fine!" Mikado shouted as he tried to wipe the redness from his face.

"Nope! I'm saying we take a break!" Kida argued as he sat onto the ground with his arms crossed stubbornly.

"Taking a break doesn't sound too bad," Anri smiled to Mikado as she crouched down to sit beside Kida.

"B-but-"

"Yoink!~" A sudden black blur flew by, grabbing Mikado by the waist and disappearing with him. Anri and Kida's faces formed a mix of surprised, dumbfound, and just plain pissed.

"I'll just be taking this little guy for a while!~" the now noticeable brunette man teased with a smirk.

"IZAYA!" Kida yelled at the top of his lungs before he leaped to grab Mikado out of the repulsive man's arms, but failed to grab him as Izaya had one the best reflexes in the kingdom. The smirking brunet only let out a taunting laugh as he dodged all of Kida's failed grabs while he continued to skip from tree to tree with the smaller brunet in his arm.

"…Let me…" Anri eyes glowed with bright, blood lust red in them as she pulled her well-known katana out of her sleeve. This scared Mikado as the kind, polite Anri that he knew was now replaced with a now cold, murderous brunet. "…I'll slash his arms off of Mikado…" she spoke in a cold and threatening tone.

She leaped far into the air and slashed her sword toward the grinning brunet, but he dodged it with a step to the side.

"Oh~ gotta be careful with that sword, Anri-chan~" he taunted as he landed on his feet like a cat and continued to move from tree to tree. Mikado was scared to death (and felt like he was about to throw up), as he was being swung around too carelessly for him to adjust. He tried to pull the arm off of him, but for some freaking reason, it felt like lifting a ton of bricks. His face reddened with frustration and possible nausea.

H-how freakin' strong is this guy!

"L-let go of me, Orihara-san!" he muttered as his eyes looked upwards to meet the lunatic's.

-Slash-

Anri and Kida were really trying to get Izaya's hands off of Mikado. Kida charged to Izaya's right side to try grabbing the sick-looking Mikado out Izaya's arm, while Anri swung from the left side with her katana. Izaya only grinned and jumped up higher to watch the two head butt into each other.

-Bang!-

"Ah! Sorry Anri!" Kida cursed as he rubbed his forehead and got back on his feet to chase Izaya.

"It's okay…" Anri rubbed forehead as a stronger dark aura began to surround her.

"Oh!~ Look at the time! I should get going!~" the older brunet looked at his wrist, which by the way didn't have a watch, as he leapt to a nearby tree. "See ya later kids!~"

"Wait you bastard!" Kida yelled as him and Anri began to chase the man with an even faster speed if possible. The taunting brunet grew further and further away as the duo continued to chase him through the thick path, occasionally swatting away branches and shrubs. Finally, the kidnapper and his companion disappeared into the sunset with the resonating sound of his evil taunting laughter.

"D-Damn!" Kida coughed out as he punched a nearby tree, leaving a definite dent in it. Anri only stood with her katana in hand; out of breathe from the chase, and staring silently at the ground with her head held low with the feeling of guilt and shame.


If Kida and Anri couldn't hit him, then my only chance of getting out of here is-

"Hmm," Izaya studied Mikado from his seat.

"H-huh?" Mikado looked up to meet Izaya's crimson eyes after having his thoughts disrupted.

"Nothing really, just studying you." Izaya smiled as he shrugged his arms up with a chuckle.

-to negotiate with him…

"Why are you studying me?" Mikado asked as he took a sip of the now placed cup of tea in front of him.

This' pretty good… Namie must be a really good cook…

"No reason really, I just wanted to meet the future 'Leader' of the Dollars."

"Well, for your information, I'm only a candidate for 'Leader,' my parents still haven't chosen who's to be the new 'Leader'…"

Leader: it is a term similar to queen or king in the Dollars…

"Oh, I know, I know~ I just wanted to also find out why Kida has found two of the neighboring kingdom's princesses as his new friends." the older smirked. "I was also planning to take Little Anri-chan, but she was sitting next to Kida-kun. And seeing as how she really knows how to swing that katana…"

"…" Mikado glared at the older brunet as he put his cup down.

"Oh~ did I strike a nerve?" Izaya smirked, "then maybe I should stri-"

"I'm sorry to say, but the relationship between the three of us and its reasons are none of your business, Orihara-san." Mikado looked straight into those crimson eyes, noticing how bright they glowed despite being in such a well lit room.

"Hm~" a cheshire smile grew on his face, "here's the thing… I love humans. I want to know everything about them, whether it be an ugly secret or not~"

His face came closer to Mikado's. The need to back away into the couch was wanted, but Mikado sat straight. His blue eyes looking into those crimson one, not even a small flinch came from him. Several seconds passed as the eyes stared into each other without a single movement. Izaya's cheshire smile turned into his normal smirk.

"You're a strange kid, you know that?~" he plopped back down to his seat as he took a sip of his coffee, "But as long as it's interesting~"

"I-interesting?" Mikado said dumbfounded slightly loosening from his stiff posture.

"Yes, interesting. I love humans and their interests." Mikado only found himself to be more confused.

"You see, someone such as myself gets bored pretty easily, so what better to do than watch my favorite humans!~" Izaya smiled as his arms opened up.

"Orihara-san, aren't you also human?" Mikado asked as he watched the man in slight irritation.

"…" Izaya's smirk disappeared then reappeared, "nope."

Mikado looked at the older brunet with round eyes, while Izaya lifted his head to look Mikado in the face.

"I'm not human. I'm what you humans call a 'god,'" Izaya's smirk formed almost arrogantly.

Mikado's mouth slightly opened before he shut it again to form his straight face. Izaya's eyes didn't look like they were telling lies; they were looking straight into his.

"I see…" Mikado breathed a sigh.

The room fell silent. The only sound heard was Izaya drinking from his cup occasionally.

"You know, there are three kinds of love: love for all humans, love as in sexually, and the love like friendship.

"… Is that what you believe?" Mikado now picked up his cup to drink from it, his eyes looking into the liquid to meet his reflection.

"That's all I see in humans when they're in love," Izaya smirked as he put his empty cup down onto the black table. "Have you ever been in love, Mikado?~"

Mikado's cheeks reddened as he imagined Anri smiling at him.

"I wonder which love you prefer…" Izaya whispered in a low tone as he slowly sat up to bring his face close to Mikado's.

"T-that's still none of your business!" Mikado put his cup down, avoiding eye contact by looking downwards.

"Hm~ maybe I could teach Little Mikado a few things in love~" Izaya's smirk grew as his face came closer than before.

Mikado held Izaya by his cheeks to keep him from getting closer to his face, "My love life is none of your concern!"

Izaya smirked as he tilted his head downwards to have his eyes looking up at Mikado, "Hm~ do you wanna go to your little friend's house now?"

"Huh?" was all Mikado could say as his grasp on Izaya's head loosened. Before he knew it, he found his lips to be touched by another pair, but not long. The touch was like a small peck, not containing a romantic touch to it.

Mikado's face reddened almost instantly that he fainted from the plain utter surprise. He landed backwards onto the couch.

"T-that fast?" Izaya voiced with surprise as he looked down at Mikado, his usually smirk changed to a new surprised and shocked smile he never felt himself use. He moved his hands up to touch his face, but stopped halfway. His new smile was replaced back to his usually smirk. He stood up to walk to the body and pick it up princess style. "Namie, I'm going out!~"


How'd you like this chapter? I tried to make Izaya seem as in character as possible~ but it's hard to get into Izaya's head XD Hoped you like the small IzayaxMikado moment in this chapter. And there will definitely be some MikadoxAnri and KidaxMikado moments up ahead along with lotsa twists~ ;P
