Chapter two

The members of the armed detectives agency were sitting around, well after the office hours because of the mafia member that came by earlier that day to talk to them about needing Yosano to be here late at night. Why? 

Chuuya Nakahara was bringing someone here that needed to be looked at by a doctor and he didn't trust his own boss with this information at all. The sound of a knock sounded on the door, waking up the half awake members and starling them into sitting up, even Dazai was started, having been asleep for two hours.

"Come in, Nakahara-san." Atsushi called, watching as the door opened and the man walked in in casual clothing compared to what he normally wore when they saw him, it startled most of them. The only thing they could see other than him was Chuuya's jacket which he normally wore over his shoulders wherever he went.

"Why are you all here?" he tilted his head to the side, hair falling to that side, it wasn't in a ponytail at all. "Didn't ane-san tell you this wasn't related to the mafia?"

The jacket moved and a small hand grabbed Chuuya's shirt, then a little voice rang through the silent room. "What's a maf-a?"

Chuuya hummed, face completely changing and softening "they're the bad guys I told you about earlier, there's no need to worry honey.." he said gently before looking back at the ADA, face hardening. "I only wanted Yosano to be here so I wouldn't need to worry about more people finding out.

Rampo, a man with leather black hair, spoke up from his desk at the back of the room near a window "congrats on the adoption, Fancy hat."

Chuuya's face softened and he smiled at the other man "thanks." He then looked at the woman he came here for. "I need you to check Miyo out for me." Chuuya walked over and showed the small child to the woman, no one else could see her. "Could you also, maybe find out her age?"

"Holy sh-"

Chuuya clasped a hand over her mouth "do not swear." he looked like an animal who had gone into a rage when she had attempted to say 'shit'.

The woman took a breath "holy sugar, where did you find her?"

Dazai as well as everyone, other than Rampo who had come over to help with the discovery of her age, were confused and not sure what was going on.

"Found her hiding behind a rock in front of the main building." he wasn't going into detail about where he worked so his child wouldn't find out about him being a 'bad guy'.

"What was she wearing?"

"A dress made of paper, it was torn, covered in blood and dirty, I washed her before coming here." he said weakly, walking into the clinic with the two people. Dazai followed silently, wanting to know why the chibi would come here with a child.

"Could you undress for me sweetie?" Yosano asked gently, Dazai watched as Chuuya removed his jacket, tossing it onto a chair, a very small, malnourished child was clinging to his side, hiding in Chuuyas sleeve.

Dazai had never expected Chuuya to adopt a child let alone one he had just met.

Chuuya rubbed the girls back "it's okay. Miyo, this nice lady will be able to help with all the black marks."

The small child nodded and got her adoptive father to help undress her, however they didn't remove the blindfold. Both Ranpo and Yosano let out a shocked gasp, there were needle scars all up her arms, whip marks on her back which Chuuya was lightly rubbing before, scars from being cut open all over her arms and legs.

"Where did she come from?" Yosano asked, tears rising up in her eyes, watching the girl who was now just in her underwear, hide in her fathers chest.

"She ran away from a lab." Chuuya said, Dazai's eyes widening, this girl reminded Chuuya of himself a bit, which is probably why he chose to take her in and give her a new life. "We're looking for it now to put it out of action and hopefully bring out any other children.."

The two ADA members nodded "If you can, Chuuya-san, could you leave, I need to make sure her internal organs are okay." Yosano said gently watching how gentle he was with the child made her heart warm, who knew a mafia executive could be so soft when it came to children?

Chuuya nodded and gently pulled away, handing the girl his jacket "call for me if you need me.." the child nodded, scared that she might get hurt but if her mama knows these people then they have to be nice, right?

Chuuya left the room to come face to face with three other members of the ADA; Dazai and Kunikida, the rest must have gone home.

"Where did you kidnap that child from?" The man with dirty blonde hair verbally attacked Chuuya, only to be shoved away by Dazai.

"Didn't you hear? He found her by a rock out the front of the port mafia building." the brown haired man smiled, arms crossed over his chest, bandages still covering them as always. "And the chibi doesn't lie about important things like that, the only thing he lies about is that he doesn't love me."

Chuuya sighed "I came in casual clothing to prove this isn't a work matter, it's a me and my child matter, nothing to do with the mafia." he rubbed his temples "I also brought something to burn with me." he glanced at Dazai "want to burn it with me?"

Dazai's eyes widened a bit "sure." he shrugged, assuming it was the lab gown he had found the girl in. "Why 'Miyo'?" he asked, crossing his arms "I'm guessing you named her."

"I did.." Chuuya nodded, watching a confused blonde man watch them. "It was that or Kagome." 

"Beautiful child or Lost?" Dazai laughed and shook his head "really?"

"I'm not good with names, ane-san helped me pick, she even got me all the clothes for her." he said with a huff and crossed his arms over his chest to try and protect himself from any insults coming from Dazai's mouth.

"I think you chose a wonderful name." Kunikida muttered. Chuuya smiled a little bit and looked back at Dazai.

"Can we go burn it now?"

"We can Chibi."

*****

Dazai watched as Chuuya held up the blood, dirt covered lab gown and gagged "that's what you found her in?"

"Yes, it is." he sighed and shook his head. He threw it in the fire the taller male had set. "She keeps worrying about 'men in white' coming after her, that's who she talked about when I first approached her. I think she's referring to the people who experimented on her."

Dazai hummed, wrapping his arms around Chuuya's waist with a smile. "That's a very likely option, but it could also be the people who run the place?"

Chuuya leaned back against his chest "I know you were listening in earlier, I saw you." he hummed and shook his head "you wanted me to see you. Did you see the blindfold?"

"I did, however I don't want to ask about it because something tells me you don't know either." Dazai said with a shrug. 

"Everyone who looks her in the eyes dies, well 'falls asleep' as she puts it." he mumbled "I don't think she can control her ability."

Dazai nodded, hugging Chuuya tighter "that is probably the case, now, tell me. What does she call you?"

"She's started to call me–"

"MAMA!!" The child's scream echoed out of nowhere and Chuuya was using his ability to go up to the clinic's window, dragging Dazai with him. Chuuya climbed in through the window, the tall, brown haired man following him though.

Chuuya looked all over the girl, trying to make sure there were no new injuries, however all the old ones and scars were gone, which made Chuuya slightly confused. "Did you use your ability?" 

"I did." she said gently, hands shaking "her internal organs were ripped open somehow and she was going to die within twenty minutes. It's a good thing you brought her here instead of to a normal hospital.

Chuuya practically collapsed, Dazai catching him and not allowing the other male to pass out because of relief on the clinic's ground. "Thank god.."

"I have come to the conclusion that she is five years old. However has the body of a toddler, due to what their experiments have done to her and her lack of food, she will grow with the proper amount of food." Ranpo said, then walked back to his desk to get a candy for himself and one for the child for being so brave.

Chuuya sat on the bed and helped her get dressed again, hugging her close "now say thank you to the nice lady.."

"Thank you Yosa-oba!" The girl smiled brightly, hugging her mama.

Chuuya looked up at her "did you find anything about her ability?"

"It's been keeping her alive as long as possible with those internal wounds, they happened about five days ago. It also seems as though when she feels threatened something will reach out and take over– like your corruption, only I don't know if I'm correct about that."

Chuuya nodded "and her eyes making people 'fall asleep?'"

"Might be like how your gravity manipulation is a 'weaker' part of your corruption or something." the woman said, watching him stand with Dazais help.

"Okay, thank you Yosano-san." he mumbled, hugging his child to his chest protectively.

"I'll walk you home, Chibi." Dazai hummed as he walked out of the caoing to be okay and he didn't have to worry about her health.

"What did they call her in the lab?" Dazai asked once they were outside, Chuuya didn't reply but the girl did.

"Subject A7S54." she said, then hugged her mama. "But my name is M-iy-o now, mama gave me it!"

Dazai's heart melted, he hated children but this one for some strange reason was cute. "She calls you mama? Will she call me dada?"

"Call him poop." Chuuya grumbled, glad he was not swearing in front of his child.

"You a poop!!" she giggled then hid in her mama's shoulder, she was acting a lot younger than her age, probably because she doesn't know how to act. Dazai pouted and wrapped an arm around Chuuya's waist with a hum.

"I'm okay with that for now, but you will be calling me dada soon." he smiled and walked on with the two, something in his chest felt whole for once.

"No she won't be, I'm her parent."

"She needs a father figure as well as a mother, Chibi!"

"No, buzz off!"

"Pleaseeeeeeeeeee?"

"No."

"Mama no fight with a poop."

Chuuya burst out laughing, that was too cute for him, he was going to die from her cuteness.
