Brother

Chapter 16

Izaya let out a long sigh as he sat down across the three guests. He waited for them to stop gawking helplessly at their surroundings before finally opening his mouth to speak.

"Tell me, why are you here."

Shinra was the first to snap out of his daze and responded with a stutter

"W-Well you suddenly left Ikebukero to come to England."

Shinra paused, flinching at the obvious annoyance shown on the informant's face. Izaya was tempted to grab the nearest weapon and do a little remodeling to the room. Perhaps some red to the walls and floor. Instead, he pulled a dark blue lollipop out of his pocket and quickly unwrapped it before putting it in his mouth, placing the wrapper on the table separating them. The sweet served its purpose and calmed him down immensely. Shinra, who was growing increasingly nervous of the uncharacteristically silent informant, decided he could not handle being the target this time.

"It was Shizuo's idea."

He pushed the blame onto the nicer one who didn't live with him, completely ignoring the threatening glare the man shot his way. Shizuo opened his mouth to object only to be interrupted.

"I don't care who suggested it, I want to know what could have been so important that you had to follow me all the way here?"

Celty began typing on her PDA,

  'We wanted to know what you were up to and why you came.'

A loud crack was heard and the three unwanted guests froze. Izaya brought a hand to his mouth and removed the lollipop stick from his mouth. broken pieces of the hard candy remaining against his tongue. With a blank face he moved his jaw, a crunch echoing with every chew. Eventually the demon swallowed and pulled another lollipop out of his pocket, this time it was a bright red color. He unwrapped it and placed the sweet in his mouth before speaking,

"You three wanted to know why I came to England?"

Izaya repeated to clarify. The couple nodded while the blonde scowled and averted his gaze. Izaya took the silence as a chance to continue.

"So you decided that if you flew 12 hours to find me you could get some answers?"

The two nodded again and Shizuo began trembling with rage. Izaya sighed in disappointment.

"You're all idiots."

The three snapped their heads in his direction, Celty typed furiously while the two men crried out indignantly. Ignoring the chaos around him, Izaya simply pulled out his phone and began typing.

"You could've just called."

The ststement caused everyone to freeze. It was true. Izaya let out a sigh and put his phone back in his pocket.

"I found you a hotel, I'll pay for it as long as you idiots stay quiet. Deal?"

Shizuo opened his mouth to stubbornly protest, Shinra, who didn't wanna pay for a hotel imediately covered his mouth.

"Deal."

Letting out an outraged roar, Shizuo picked up the nearest lamp and raised it over his head.

"You break it, you buy it." Izaya threatened with a glare.

"And I know for a fact that you can't afford it on your salary."

The blonde froze before slowly looking at the lamp in his hand. Fuck...that shit did look expensive. Slowly Shizuo decided to put the lamp back on the table. He looked around to see if there was anything he could afford to throw only to plop back down on the couch in annoyed dissatisfaction. Izaya rolled his eyes and stood up, the others following his lead.

"I'll take you to the hotel, after that I don't want to see any of you for the remainder of the-"

Izaya was interrupted by naked man with white hair and dark crimson eyes ran up and jumped on the demon of the group, licking his face repetitively. The sudden contact caused Izaya to flinch, he almost sliced the dog in haof then and there. The ones being escorted by him to shout in surprise, with the exception of Celty of course. In there eyes a random stranger had just pounced on one of the most dangerous men in Ikebukuro while barking like an animal. Izaya never was a fan of dogs, they always managed to see through him somehow.

"Finny!"

He called, as he hesitantly pet the demon hound's head, surprisingly, Pluto didn't seem to mind him like other dogs. Izaya guessed that he was already used to the smell of the underworld, after all, as a demon hound, he was a part of it as well. The blonde gardener quickly ran up to him with a bright smile.

"You need something Mr. Izaya?"

He asked,

"Just Izaya is fine Finny, and-"

Izaya pointed down at the man in his arms who was chewing at his own collar.

"-If it's not too much trouble, could you take pluto outside while I escort our guests out?"

Finny nodded happily and opened his mouth to speak only to be interrupted by a certain child earl.

"they're leaving already?"

Izaya looked at the boy and the butler in black beside him. He allowed a small smile to cross his features.

"That's right."

He answered and the young lord frowned.

"That's unfortunate, I wished to get to know the ones who entered my manor, even if it was only for a little while."

Izaya froze at the request, his logic half began to battle with the half of him that wanted to spoil the young boy rotten. In the end a sigh escaped the man.

"Alright."

He gave in.

"Good."

Ciel turned to look at the three an listless expression on his face.

"Follow me."
