A/N: Hello everybodies! Sorry it's been so long since I updated. It took me forever to write this chapter. For all of you who have eagerly been awaiting the arrival of the Demon Diary characters, wait no more. I finally added them. Anyway, on with the story…… oh, yeah, and I don't own either Weiss or Demon Diary.

Chapter 4: Complications of the Demonic Kind

Eclipse stood to leave the meeting he had been attending for the past three days. "Eclipse," came a haughty voice from behind him, "might I have a word with you?" He turned to see the foppish Lord Krayon waving for him to come over, his fiery curls bouncing almost cheerfully.
"Yes, Lord Krayon." He said, inclining his head ever so slightly. "What can I do for you?"
"You could get down on your hands and knees and beg to return to my service."
"I'm afraid I must decline." Eclipse frowned. "You must not remember what I said when I left Castle Krayon. A mortal pig farmer would be a better master than you."
"Ouch. That wasn't up to your usual standards Eclipse. Normally you're much more subtle than that." Krayon smirked.
Eclipse sighed. "Did you call me over here just so you could trade insults. Surely you can come up with a better excuse than that."
"I'm sure I could." The demon lord said with a smug smile. "Actually I was wondering where your current master is. I haven't seen him for quite some time."
Eclipse studied Lord Krayon for a moment before he answered. "Lord Raenef has been ill. I'm afraid he is unable to present himself."
"Truly?" Krayon asked, raising one eyebrow in suspicion. "But Lord Raenef is barely 43. These bafoons on the council may by your pathetic excuses, but I do not. They have not fought your master. As young and as powerful as he is, I highly doubt there is an illness strong enough to keep him away. Shall I rephrase the question? Perhaps you didn't understand me. Either you tell me why Lord Raenef is not here, or I'll have no choice but to bring his absence under council surveillance. If that happens and you cannot produce him they will be forced to bestow his title on the next Raenef. We cannot have a single council place empty."
Eclipse glared at Lord Krayon. "Trust me, my master has a valid reason for not attending the meeting, but I'm not at liberty to discuss it. If you want to know you must take it up with him."
"Very well, I shall accompany you on your return to Raenef Castle." And before the darker demon could object the foppish demon lord had placed one hand on his arm and commanded "GO!"
The foreboding grandeur of The Hall Of Demons melted away only to be replaced by the cheerful elegance of Raenef Castle. "It seems our castles really do reflect the current Lord." Krayon muttered to himself. "Now then," he said, turning and smiling cruelly, "would you be so kind as to lead me to your lord?"
Eclipse leveled a glare at his superior. "If you were a common demon I would destroy you where you stand." Then the tall demon turned on his heal and strode menacingly into the castle. Krayon followed, laughing at his irate companion. Eclipse led him to a grand parlor. Krayon glanced around and finally allowed his gaze to rest on the powerful demon.
"My, I don't recall having seen this room before."
"Take your time studying it." Eclipse said with thinly disguised malice. "It may be a while before my lord has a free moment." And then he disappeared through the parlor door.
Krayon stared after him. It wasn't that he was shocked by his rudeness. Oh no, on the contrary, it was t be expected, and was actually quite polite for a demon. No, it was the fact that he had said Raenef would see him on such short notice. Granted the demon hadn't come out and said so, but it was as close as one could expect to get with a demon. If one of his minions had said that he would have had their head before they had time to draw another breadth.
"Good Evening, Lord Krayon." Came a familiar voice somewhere behind him. He turned to see a lovely young blonde woman standing there. Her soft dirty blonde hair was up in a bun, with ringlets framing the cream colored skin of her face. Her sapphire eyes shone with joy at seeing the demon lord. She wore a full-length gown of white samite that swirled around her ankles in a silvery pool. Shimmering white lace shaped like snowflakes hemmed the gown and formed the flowing sleeves. Gently cradled in her arms was a bundle of fuzzy crocheted viridian yarn.
"Lady Leeche." Krayon said. "It's so good to see you. How long has it been a year?"
"Ten months." She corrected him kindly. "I've hardly left our chambers since the little one."
"Little one?!" the tall demon lord yelped, shocked. His eyes flew to the bright orange blanket. "Surely you jest!"
Leeche laughed. "No, Krayon. It's true." She moved over to where he stood and held out the tiny child so he could see it. "Eclipse was so relieved when we discovered that I was with child. After all, gods know Raenef would never dream of having a child with any of his other tributes. In fact I don't think he realizes that he can do that with the other tributes. And don't you dare tell him!" She paused for a moment. "Speaking of, how is Lady Euritis?"
Lord Krayon looked up from the infant sleeping in the neon pink blanket. "Euritis? She-she's doing fine. Still practices swordsmanship. I've told her it isn't necessary. Last week she twisted her ankle and she still refuses to quit."
"Is she alright?" Leeche asked concerned.
"Of course." The demon lord said winking. "I threatened the finest physicians in the land until she was completely healed." He paused, looking slightly sheepish. "Not that I care, she is just a tribute." He added hastily blushing.
Leeche smiled. "Of course," she said. Jus then, the babe in her arms started to stir. "Good morning, Raenef." The tall blonde woman smiled at the squirming bundle of sky blue yarn.
"So, that is why Raenef has been missing meetings. His favorite tribute has provided a male and an heir."
Leeche blushed. "Not exactly." Krayon raised and eyebrow and gestured for her to continue. "You see, just before I gave birth Eclipse had to leave to take care of a rampaging Crusader. He told Raenef that if all was well with the child to go ahead and name it Raenef VI, making it Raenef's heir. He forgot to mention that 'all is well' means 'it's a boy with all four limbs and a menacing glare.' Unfortunately the damage was already done by the time he returned."
"So, what's wrong with the child?" Krayon asked nervously.
"Lord Raenef VI is actually Lady Raenef VI."
"WHAT?! But Raenef has always been a male!"
"That's exactly what Eclipse said." Leeche giggled. Suddenly the baby started to cry. "Shh. Hush now." Leeche cooed. "It'll be alright. I'll feed you as soon as Eclipse comes back with your father. Shhh."
"There is something I must know." Krayon said, drawing his hostess' attention away from the crying infant in the lavender blanket.
"Yes?"
"Why does that blanket keep changing colors?"
"Because Raenef can't make up her mind."
"Oh."

A/N: Hey!, I hope you liked it. I'm not sure I got Krayon's hair color right. I thought it was blonde, but my sister insisted it was red. Anyway, there it is. It was kinda of short, and so's the next one, but I'll try to make six and seven longer. Anywho, REVIEW!!! Please!!!
