A/N: Hey there! Thank you to everyone who reviewed! I'm glad you guys still like the story. Nothing overly exciting is happening, so I don't really have very much to say. I don't own Wiess Kreuz or Demon Diary. On with the fic, I guess. Like I said, this chapter's really short, but I promise that six and seven will be longer.

Chapter 5: Complications of the Lost Kind

Lady Leech laughed at the look on Krayon's face. "Did you honestly expect any less from the daughter of Lord Raenef V?"
"No," the Demon Lord replied. "I expected better from the granddaughter of Lord Raenef IV. Raenef IV was a demon lord feared by thousands. His heir, however is something else."
"I'm sure Eclipse would love to hear you say that." Leeche said, trying hard not to laugh at Lord Krayon, who was doing his best not to let his scowl slip into a grin.
They were interrupted when Eclipse returned. "Lady Leeche, might I speak with you?" he asked politely.
"Certainly." She replied. "Lord Krayon, you can amuse yourself? Or would you rather I send one of Rae's tributes to entertain you? Young Gladdeth is wonderful with a harp and she has been dying for an audience that won't fall asleep in the middle of her performance."
Krayon raised and eyebrow. "Yes, that would be nice. But please send Raenef along as soon as possible."
"Of course." The lady smiled as she left. When she was out of Krayon's sight she called forth a small demonic fairy. Raenef had created several for her when she had first come to live with him permanently on her eighteenth birthday. He had forgotten to teach them how to speak, but Eclipse had quickly solved that problem. She smiled at the memory before looking down at the tiny creature now floating beside her.
"Did you find him?" she asked it. It answered in a voice like hollow wooden wind chimes and the moaning voice of the winds that howl in mist covered graveyards.
"Thank you anyway." She told it frowning, "I have another task for you Kaze," She told the creature. "Go find Gladdeth. Tell her that Lord Krayon is in the parlor and wishes to hear her play. Go with her." Leeche instructed it. "I know people can sometimes get lost. Gods know Chris always does." The fairy disappeared and she turned to look at Eclipse who was standing behind her. "Well, you heard it. Raenef isn't anywhere in the castle. I've had every woman ever given to him searching the castle top to bottom. Where they aren't permitted I've had my Kaze searching. None of us have seen him."
Eclipse turned to gaze out the window. After a moment he looked back at her. "I couldn't find him either. I checked the library. It's gone."
Leeche looked down at the in her arms. "I will stay. Raenef VI must not be jeopardized, and I know enough to protect her as long as we're in the castle. You go and find him." She bit her lip fighting back tears.
"He's left like this before, and he's always come back before." The dark demon reminded her.
"He was always the only Raenef before." She replied quietly.
"Do not fear. Raenef VI is hardly ready to ascend the throne. And I care for Lord Raenef almost as much as you do. I will find him."
"Thank you Eclipse." Just then the tiny girl child in her arms began to stir again. Eclipse watched Leeche smile sadly as she left to tend to the infant's needs.
"I believe you chose wisely, my lord." He said to himself as his master's 'wife' leave.

The four assassins plus one stumbled into the Koneko an hour before they were scheduled to open.
"I vote we stay closed today." Yoji grumbled.
"We can't." Omi sighed. "If we close every time there's an assassination people will get suspicious."
"It's just this one time." Ken begged.
"No." Aya said sternly. "Besides, we need to decide what to do with the kid."
They all turned to look at the blonde who had followed them in. "That's easy." Yoji smiled. "He just followed Omi home and the chibi asked if we could keep it."
"He can stay in my room." Omi said, rolling his eye in exasperation. "I have to leave for school soon so he can go ahead and sleep off last night. Besides, I sleep in the basement most nights anyway."
"Are you sure?" Ken asked, cautiously.
"Yes, Ken. Unlike you and Yoji I don't keep perverted pictures in my room."
"Whatever." Yoji said rolling his eyes.
Ken, on the other hand was not so laid back about the accusation. "Soccer Girls Gone Wild is not perverted! It's educational!"
"I thought I told you to get rid of that." Aya growled. Ken was about to reply when something heavy thumped behind them. They turned to see their blonde guest past out on the floor. "Ken." Aya said dangerously. "Take him upstairs and put him to bed."
"Why me?"
"Because it'll give you a chance to get your bubbles back; because he likes you the best; because Omi has to get ready for school; because Yoji and I open; because you disobeyed me; and because I said to." The assassin hissed, ticking the reasons off on his fingers.
"Fine." Ken huffed. "But he like you more than Eclpise."
The tall red-head rolled his eyes, and left for work. Ken turned hopefully to his other two comrades for help."
"Tough luck." Yoji smirked. Then he and Omi moved up the stairs, leaving Ken once more to deal with the sleeping beauty on his own.

A/N: Well, I said it was short. I promise the next one will be longer. And I should update in just a few days. Please review and say nice things for me.
