Demons

A/N:- Thanks for the reviews and onto the next chapter. Enjoy.

Crimson eyes narrowed, gazing down at the struggling boy in his arms. "Shizu-chan. Stop scratching." The child was trying to remove the cast, Shinra had put on him. He was watching him carefully to make sure the boy didn't break it, with his free hand.

"Shizu-chan, do you want to see your brother?" The child looked up in confusion, giving a small nod. Remembering the sofa in Mikado's home, he teleported both of them into the room, landing softly. "Now lets see where, Mikado is."

He blinked as two demon servants ran past him, holding buckets of water. He smiled as he followed the dark singe marks, covering the marble. They led to the throne room, where the demon king was trying to calm a much younger demon.

It looked like the little demon had learned a few tricks since the last time, they saw him. The child in his arms giggled, one arm reaching out to his pyromaniac brother. Mikado turned hearing the noise, his eyes widening, followed by a shout. "Izaya duck."

Heeding the warning, he threw up his hand, ducking at the same time, as a wave of flame covered the room. "Kida-kun, stop it." With a sadistic grin, Izaya thought of the nearest source of water, letting it fall from the ceiling, drenching everyone in the room except from himself and the giggling child.

He laughed as everyone stood where they were, soaking wet. The cause of the fire, glared up at him. While Mikado only shook his head, scooping the boy up. "Thanks Izaya. I didn't expect to see you back so soon."

Deep blue eyes stared at both of them, taking in every little detail. The boy's broken arm, the tensed look that kept slipping through on Izaya's face. Letting out a sigh, he knew it hadn't been easy for the crimson eyed demon. "Lets go and dry off."

Not surprisingly Mikado and Kida were both dry within seconds. He noticed how the demon king winced, as he saw the mess his mate had created. He smiled as he heard him mumbling under his breath. "It's okay. It's fixable." Mikado turned back to him. "Things have been a little out of control, Kida has learnt a few new powers. Ones he can't control yet." The demon king looked exhausted.

"How are you coping?" Mikado led them into the room with the sofas, he had teleported into. "As you can see, Shizu-chan broke his arm. He tried to pick up a sandbox." The demon king sighed. "Do you regret letting me seal his powers?" It was an immediate shake of his head.

"No, I'm glad you did. He doesn't know how to keep still. If he had his powers, he would be a nightmare to handle." His gaze dropped to the giggling child. "You can put him in the play pen while we talk." Crimson eyes blinked. "You got him a play pen? Do they work?"

Mikado covered a yawn with his hand. "You should know. It used to be yours." Izaya blinked, turning his gaze to the black playpen, it looked like a normal weak, wooden one. It wasn't, the demon king had it engraved and spelled.

The crimson eyed demon smiled as Kida was lowered in to the play pen. Gently he lowered the child in his arms down into it. The main spell on the play pen was compulsion, whoever was in it would want to stay in there and wouldn't try and escape or climb out.

Izaya watched closely as Kida pouted, folding his arms across his chest. Shizu-chan swayed to the side, he quickly caught him as he toppled to the mat, fast asleep. Mikado had a knife out, skilfully engraving another symbol.

The new mark glowed silver, his gaze dropping to the sleeping child, who groaned in his sleep. "What did you do?" He tried to keep his anger under control. Blue eyes narrowed, noticing the uncontrolled gleam in crimson eyes. "I added a healing spell."

"Are you okay?" The crimson eyed demon nodded. "Its not you that's losing control." He smiled as the other's eyes widened. "I can see it, your eyes are practically glowing." Izaya shrugged, keeping on eye on the sleeping child. "What is it then?"

Mikado smiled, tilting his head to the side. "It's because of the link, between you two. Shizuo can feel everything you do." Another yawn escaped the demon king. "How?" He gazed down at the sleeping boy, wondering how it was possible.

"Think about it. You're bound together; the link between you shares everything you feel." Izaya nodded, waiting from him to continue. "Shizuo found you, when we couldn't. He knew exactly where you were. Izaya, you're lucky he doesn't have any powers."

"Shizuo can feel your agitation, since he can't use his own; he's acting out through you." Mikado smiled looking down at the two children, Kida looked back up at him. "You want to do everything you can to protect him and he feels the same way about you. Though in his case, I think he doesn't realising he's doing it." Izaya rubbed a hand through his hair, so it wasn't that he was losing control.

"Then how do I keep him out of trouble?" He didn't like the grin on Mikado's face. "Did you bother to look in Shizuo's bedroom?" The demon king laughed. "When you go back, have a look. It would have saved you a lot of trouble." Crimson eyes narrowed, but he didn't answer. No he hadn't looked, he had wanted to keep the boy by his side, never letting him go.

"If you need a babysitter, Karisawa is in Ikebukuro, along with a few others I trust." Taking out his phone, he handed it to Izaya. "Take down their numbers. You aren't the only demon in the human world." Taking out his own phone, he copied the numbers over. "That gang of yours is going well then?"

"Dollars? Yeah, I plan on protecting both demons and humans." Izaya handed him the phone back. "The humans will never accept us." Mikado shrugged. "Times change, Izaya." He glanced down hearing a giggle from the playpen. Kida was standing, reaching for Mikado. The demon king turned to him. "Are you going to be good?" The blond nodded holding his arms up. "Yeah."

Mikado picked him up holding him in his lap. "Was there anything else?" Izaya shook his head. "No, that's everything. You had no intention of leaving Shizu-chan's protection to just me did you?" Blue eyes sparkled. "You should accept all the help you can get. I'll see you soon." It was the end of their conversation. Standing up, he bent down gently lifting the sleeping child.

Keeping him close to him, he shot a smile at Mikado. "Thanks, good luck with, Kida-kun." He thought of his apartment and then he was gone. Reappearing on his bed. Surprisingly the boy was still asleep, pulling back the covers, he laid him down, placing the covers over him. He smiled as he kissed him on the forehead. "Sleep well, Shizu-chan."

Izaya left the room, listening to Mikado's advice, he switched on the light to what should be Shizu-chan's bedroom. He had only noticed the bed, but now he took in everything. There was the bed, dark blue covers, on top. And now that he was really looking he could see the small symbols embroided in silver along the edge.

Under the bed, there were three tubs full of toys. The curtains were the same as the covers. The demon groaned as he saw it, folded against the wall, a normal looking playpen. He stepped closer, running his fingers along the edge, feeling the engraved marks. Mikado had made sure of everything.

Taking both the duvet and the play pen, he left the room, turning off the light. Izaya set the collapsed wood, against the wall. He carried the duvet into his bedroom, laying over the top of his own. The child was smiling in his sleep, the pained expression gone. When the boy woke up, he would have to get Shinra to remove the cast, with Shizu-chan having access to his powers, he wasn't going to risk using them on someone so precious.

Running his hand through soft locks, he took one last glance at the sleeping child, before leaving the room and sitting at his desk, where he could finally get some work done. Logging into his computer, he searched for the new gang, seeing how much Mikado had let it grow. He smiled as the screen loaded up. A black background, with a white circular logo, with Dollars across the centre. Creating a login, he scrolled through the pages of posts. The demon king might actually do it. Closing the page, he set to doing the tasks Shiki had asked him to do.
