Nathair1: Thanks. Yeah, I decided to give him a backbone here. I'm going to have to delete and reboot it since I started off poorly with that one. Sorry.
Please enjoy the next chapter.
Sullivan sat at his desk in his study when the door swung opened and he looked up, "Ah, Opera, what seems to be the problem?" before the red haired butler could answer, two demons stood behind him, looking at the High-Ranked demon with slightly narrowed eyes, "Jace, Amirah, what brings you two to my mansion? Shouldn't you be guarding the Book of Visions or something to that effect?"
"We know he's not your grandson, and we know you traveled to the human world illegally to make a deal with two humans,"
Sullivan hummed as he stood up and walked over to the two visitors, "Accusing one of the Three Greats of partaking in such activities? That is a very big assumption, Jace, and you and Amirah both know that it can-"
"You're talking to the two Seekers that guarded the book and recorded all Visions we had for well over two-hundred years, Lord Sullivan," the demoness interjected and Sullivan looked at her, "Jace had a vision that you were going to travel to the human world and be part of an illegal trade, but to avoid any unwanted suspicions, we hid the book replaced it with a decoy so Demon King Derkila wouldn't see this particular Vision." Sullivan took a deep breath as he shook his head, "We're not going to report you to Demon Border Patrol, we wouldn't dare go against one of the Three Greats,"
"So are you here to force me to return Iruma to his hellish life that his horrible parents had given him for the past fourteen years,"
"We're aware of the life he's been given, Lord Sullivan," Jace answered, "But no, this involves Iruma and another," Sullivan arched a brow as Jace handed him a book and he opened it.
Sullivan stared down at the page before he slowly looked up, "Are you sure about this one? Could you be mistaken?"
"No, it's true," Amirah sighed as she shook her head, "But Jace made a good argument this may very well close the gap between Demons and those going back to basics and keep peace in the Netherworld," Sullivan sighed as he looked down at the book again and Amirah continued, "We're aware that they have already met, but we're worried something might happen to strain this Vision, so we'd like to speak with Iruma if that's okay,"
"Of course," Sullivan cleared his throat before looking at Opera, "Opera, will you get my grandson, please?"
"Of course, sir," Opera turned and walked out of the study, closing the door behind him.
Sullivan sighed as he shook his head, "I was hoping that this would go unnoticed, that you two wouldn't have a vision on him, but this...this is just...we're going to have to try and explain it to him as calmly as possible. Iruma is still a little uncertain around demons," Jace and Amirah slowly nodded.

Iruma sat next to Sullivan, looking at Jace and Amirah in confusion before looking up at his adopted grandfather and slightly frowned, "Hey grandpa, what's going on? Who are these demons?"
"Well, Iruma, this is Jace and Amirah, they are keepers of what's known as the Book of Visions, grandson,"
The human hummed and arched a brow in confusion before Amirah sighed and shook her head, "We're aware that you are human, Iruma Suzuki," Iruma stared at them as his face turned pale, "Don't worry, we're not going to hurt you, but we need to talk to you and your little friend,"
"Friend? What friend? Can demons and humans even be friends?"
"Apparently, and the green-haired one," Jace answered and Iruma looked at him, "This involves her as much as it does you, and we'd like to speak to the two of you and your families at the same time, if that's possible." he turned his attention to the older demon and sighed, "Lord Sullivan, we know hiding the Book of Visions is punishable by imprisonment, but we were trying to keep this one a secret, especially from the demons going back to basics, but would you happen to know where young Clara lives?"
"As the Chair-Demon, it is my job to know where each of my students live, but perhaps it will be better if Iruma were to invite her and her family here for this," all eyes focused on Iruma as Sullivan slightly smiled, "How about it, grandson? Do you think you can invite your little friend over so we can find out where Jace and Amirah wanted to tell everyone?" Iruma nodded before he stood up and walked away without saying another word.

Clara and Iruma sat across from Sullivan, Clara's parents Jack and Alyssa and Amirah and Jace as the five adults looked at the book in front of them and Clara's younger siblings ran around the mansion, playing while Opera glared at them slightly. Jack sighed as he looked back at his oldest daughter and her friend before looking at Amirah and Jace and shook his head, "Okay, so what does this mean?"
"Well, they'll be able to see what the other sees eventually, they'll be able to feel what the other feels and soon enough they will be able to hear each other's thoughts and heartbeat." Amirah answered and Jack hummed and nodded.
"And this...Status Incomplete? They met, the kid's here, they're friends, what else-"
"They will have to complete it when the time is right," Jace answered and Alyssa, Jack and Sullivan looked at him in confusion as he sighed and shook his head,
"It's similar to consummating a marriage,"
"What!" Jack snapped.
Alyssa sighed as she rubbed her husband's back and shook her head, "It's okay, dear. They aren't doing anything like that yet. They just met and you know our daughter won't do anything to get in trouble and Iruma seems like he's a good kid," Jack glared at the blue-haired human and Iruma's eyes widened as he swallowed hard and pressed himself up against the couch as Clara smiled and held his hand, "But...how will this work? Iruma is a human and my daughter's a demon,"
"We're uncertain about the whole ordeal ourselves right now, but we know that your daughter and Iruma were the ones destined for this and that they were the ones in the Vision," Amirah sighed, "For now, you should just let everyone play out on it's own but keep an eye on the two of them to make sure don't cross any demons going back to basics or that one of these demons learn that Iruma is human," the adults nodded as Clara and Iruma stood up and walked away.

Clara and Iruma walked down the hall in silence before Clara looked at Iruma and slightly frowned as she shook her head, "I can't believe you're human and you didn't tell me...does Azz-Azz know...why did you keep this a secret Iruma-kins?"
Iruma frowned as he rubbed the back of his head, "I'm sorry, Clara, but the first impression I've got on demons is that they eat humans and I didn't want to take that chance," Clara moaned and pouted, "I'm sorry I technically lied to you and Azz, but can we not tell Azz about me being human, Clara? I don't think he'll like it if he learns that a human beat him,"
"Okay," Clara moaned as Iruma reached over and patted the top of her head, "So...we're...what?"
"I'm not entirely sure, Clara, all of this is very confusing," Iruma sighed as he rubbed the back of his head, 'Consummating a marriage? Does that mean we're married?'
"We're married, Iruma-kins?" Iruma looked at Clara in confusion and Clara frowned as she shook her head, "Didn't you say we're married?" Iruma hummed and shook his head, 'But I heard Iruma-kins say something about us being married,' Iruma's eyes widened as he took Clara by the hand and pulled her down the hall, confusion Clara.

Sullivan, Alyssa, Jack, Amirah and Jace stood around the book before Sullivan looked at the two demons and crossed his arms, "So...Clara and Iruma are basically married and why are you coming to us about this now and not later?"
"We fear that demons going back to basics will learn about Iruma being human and will devour him without a second thought and the Vision will be for noting," Sullivan frowned as he looked down at the book again and Jace sighed as he shook his head, "We know you want to protect him since he's your...grandson but we have to take every precaution imaginable to see to this Vision comes to pass an-" the door opened and Clara and Iruma walked inside and everyone looked at them.
"What's wrong you two?" Alyssa asked.
"We...we can hear each other's thoughts," Iruma answered.
Amirah hummed and crossed her arms, "The Bond might grow stronger if they're close to one another,"
"Iruma," Sullivan said and Iruma looked at his adopted grandfather in confusion, "Think of something...your parents names, and Clara I want you to say it after he thought of it,"
The two nodded and Iruma sighed as he frowned, 'Ryu and Mana,'
"Ryu and Mana?"
Sullivan sighed as he looked back at the guests, "Okay, they're telling the truth, so what do we do about this?"
Jace took a deep breath as he looked down at the book and narrowed his eyes, "We have three choices to make. Ignore this, have the Valac's go home and have the two bond on the weekends so the bond could grow stronger outside of the school or have either Clara move in or have Iruma move in with the Valac's so the bond can continue to grow,"
"I say we ignore it," Jack spoke and his wife glared at him, "It's just a suggesting,"
"And you're worried about the consummating part of this bond, aren't you?" Jack grunted, "Jack, they're fourteen, they're almost the same age we were when we first-"
"Please stop, Alyssa," Jack sighed and shook his head, "I don't want to talk about our daughter having sex with someone she just met...we know it will happen sooner or later, but can we not talk about it right now?" he took a deep breath and looked at Clara and Iruma, "I vote they spend time together over the weekends, this way nothing happens during the week and they'll have someone watching them," the other adults nodded as Jack walked over to Iruma and narrowed his eyes, "Kid, if you do anything to Clara, you and I are going to take a little trip to the fields,"
Iruma's eyes widened as his face turned pale, "Daddy, don't threaten Iruma-kins," Clara moaned before looking at her mother, "Mommy, tell daddy not to threaten Iruma-kins, please," Alyssa slightly smiled as she nodded and the two teenagers walked out of the room again.
"Well, since that is settled, we'll be leaving," Amirah said as she and Jace walked away with Jace carrying the book.

Clara and Iruma sat outside of the mansion before Clara looked at her blue-haired best friend and slightly smiled before leaning up against him, resting her head on his shoulder. Iruma looked at her before imaging slowly and wrapped an arm around her and held her close before they heard the door open and her Alyssa speak, "Let's go Clara, you can see your little friend tomorrow,"
"Okay mommy," Clara swiftly kissed Iruma's cheek and Iruma's eyes widened as Clara stood up, "See you tomorrow Iruma-kins," Iruma stood up and watched as the Valac Fabiola walked out of the mansion and out of the gate before he turned and walked inside, closing the door behind him.
Well please enjoy. I know this one was a little fast paced, but it needed it for a future chapter. I'm also gonna bump up the rating.
