Sebastian caught Izaya as he fell. He scowled at the blood that trickled down the side of his face.
"Izaya-san!" the three servants yelled.
"What happed to him?!" Mey-Rin panicked.
Elizabeth was clutching to Ciel from behind. "Is he going to be okay?"
Ciel remained silent, contemplating whether to ask what happened or stay silent. He finally spoke.
"Sebastian. What in the world is happening?!"
The demon butler flashed a murderous stare that was fixated on the door. He picked Izaya up gently.
"I'll be back." He walked out the door. "You can come out too. It's fine."
The six walked out and followed the demon butler. "S-Sebastian?" Mey-Rin called.
Sebastian simply went upstairs and to Izaya's bedroom. He took off his brother's shoes and set them aside. He brought a small first-aid kit and bandaged Izaya's head. He then checked for other injuries and found a bruise down the middle of his back. The Phantomhive residents watched in silence.
Sebastian's eyes glowed Golden once more and he covered them with his hand. He took a deep breath and they turned crimson once more.
Ciel eyed his butler suspiciously. He was going to question him…
Sebastian tucked his brother in gently and brushed his bangs to the side. He walked out while the six watched him.
"S-Sebastian what happened to Izaya?" Bard asked, concerned.
The older demon turned to Bard. He then turned to Ciel. "Bocchan," he glanced at Lady Elizabeth.
"Right. Lizzie. Can you do me a favor? Go sit by Izaya and tell us when he wakes up please. He might be in shock after that."
She nodded and bounded up the stairs once more, her curls bouncing with her.
Sebastian sighed and turned to the three servants. "There was a threat to the Phantomhive manor. Izaya offered to take care of it. He has abilities…like yours. It was simply too much I guess. We were having a friendly spar and he got tired. That's when the treat showed up because I'm sure he wouldn't have lost then." Sebastian seemed to be seething.
He sighed. "Bocchan…" he looked at Ciel seriously with a slight glare.
"Permission to leave. I shall be back momentarily."
Ciel nodded. "When you come back you're explaining something to me." Sebastian gave a short nod and slipped out the door.
Time to find that person who did this to his brother.
He dashed along the path near the Phantomhive manor. There was no way the blonde had gotten too far.
Soon Sebastian spotted a figure. It was definitely him. He jumped in front of the ex-bartender.
Shizuo abruptly stopped walking as something landed in front of him again. It was that person who was fighting with Izaya.
"Who the fuck are you?" Shizuo growled. "Why were you fighting with the louse?"
Sebastian kept a calm demeanor. "I should ask that of you. Why have you injured him?"
"That flea deserves to die! Why else? You were fighting him too. How the heck did you do that? You were way faster than a human!"
"Let's just say I'm one hell of a butler."
"Tch. Bastard."
"You should tone down the profanities."
"Whatever. It's a shame he didn't die. He was weaker than usual."
"Because he was tired of our little spar. You just tried to kill him in his disadvantage. Pretty cowardly I should point out."
The debt collector growled. "You're just as annoying as the flea!"
"I would prefer it if you didn't call him that."
"So? I don't give a damn! Who is he to you?"
"Oh? So he hasn't told you?" A smirk grew on Sebastian's face. "Then no need to say."
Meanwhile back at the manor, Izaya had woken up. "Itaiii!" he whined softly. He held his head and felt the bandages.
Elizabeth rushed to him and handed him some water.
"Thank you Lady Elizabeth. There's no need to be concerned." He smiled.
"Where's Sebastian?"
"I don't know. No one does. He left shortly after when you were injured…are you all right?"
"I'll be fine. Thank you for the concern," he put a hand on Elizabeth's head.
He got up and stretched. "Nii-san? Where are you?"
He didn't get a reply so he tried again.
"Nii-san?" once again there was only silence and Izaya grew concerned.
"I'm going out after Sebastian, ok? Can you tell Ciel for me please?"
"But Izaya you can't! You're not recovered enough! You have to rest." Elizabeth argued.
"Thank you again Lady Elizabeth but I must find him. I'll return with him okay?"
She nodded reluctantly and Izaya avoided the five other residents, slipping out undetected.
He took a deep breath and bolted. It took only five minutes for him to locate his brother at top speed. He flipped over Shizuo and skidded to a halt next to Sebastian.
"Izaya?" Sebastian questioned. "Why are you here?"
"You didn't answer my call."
Shizuo blinked. He didn't hear a phone. And how the fuck does he do that? That was way too fast. He didn't even hear the flea behind him, much less sniff him out.
"I didn't hear it…" Sebastian trailed off.
The informant shot Sebastian a look but glanced at Shizuo.
"Nii-san the whole reason I told you to go from there was so you didn't speak with him. Yet here you are. That kind of defeated the purpose, ne?"
"I guess but I wanted to find out why."
"He hates me. There is no reason. By the way he has super strength. He can uproot that tree with his bare hands if he wanted to."
"Just like Finny?"
"Finny can do that? I didn't know. But Shizuo was born with it."
"Shizuo, huh?"
"Nii-san…"
"So…Shizuo-"
"How the hell did you know my name?"
"None of your concern. Why did you hurt Izaya? Tell me now. Even you can't keep up with our speed.
"I hate him. End of story." Shizuo growled out.
"I get that Shizu-chan. Now leave England or do whatever you want. I don't care. Don't bother us."
Shizuo scoffed. "I don't take orders from an annoying bastard."
Sebastian felt himself going angry again and a Golden hue started spilling into his eyes, erasing the crimson.
"Nii-san." Izaya warned. He tugged his sleeve in a gesture to leave. "Let's go."
Sebastian nodded and the two vaulted past Shizuo, leaving him alone, the leaves in the wind his only company.
