Chapter Text
A cute little girl wearing a blue dress was standing in the middle of the ADA's office room. She didn't seem to be more than four or six years old. Her eyes were blue and her hair was fluffy brown which looked a little orange when the sun reflected on it. She looked like a doll.
-"Who's that child?!" Kunikida was agitated, already complaining about his schedule that will be disturbed because of the kid's presence.
Dazai studied the girl's features, heart going crazy against his ribcage. It can't be...
Ranpo was undisturbed, already knowing what was going on, as always.
-"What are you doing here, little princess?" Oda inquired. Crouching down in front of her but the child just ignored him.
-"R-Rin?? What are you doing here??" Atsushi asked the little girl as he approached her.
-"You know her, Atsushi?" Naomi asked curiously.
-"I met her near the ice-cream parlor." The weretiger responded.
-"I-I followed you! I wa-wanted to thank you for the ice cream! Here your money back." Rin placed an insane amount of money in Atsushi's hands.
-"That's too much!! And you don't have to pay me back! Where did you even get that money??" The Atsushi panicked.
-"It's from grandpa!" She declared.-"W-well I'll get going now." The little girl turned around and was about to exit the agency.
-"Wait!!" Dazai shouted suddenly, startling everyone, except Ranpo. The brunet crossed the room and crouched down on her eyes level as well . - "You're too tiny to go around in the city without an adult. Wouldn't you want to wait for someone to pick you up?" Dazai asked her with a bright smile.
-"N-no, if papa knows that I went here alone, he will be mad." Rin pouted.-"And I can come back on my own! I'm all grown up now!!" She puffed her chubby cheeks.
-"She's so cute! What if we keep her?" Yosano squealed.
-"We shouldn't kidnap a child, Yosano-san." Jun'ichiro whined.
-"What if I accompany you to where you came from, then ?" Dazai didn't know why he was feeling so responsible for her sake but he couldn't help it.
-"No that's a bad idea. The men in black will kill you." She mumbled.
-"What is she saying?" Kenji titled his head in confusion.
-"Is she in danger?" Kyouka looked ready to call Demon Snow .
Dazai and Oda frowned. Men in black?
-"Are those men in black hurting you?" Oda asked her calmly.
-"No! They're all kind to me but not to strangers!" Rin explained as if she was talking about the most obvious thing in the world.
Dazai was about to say something else when the front door suddenly bursted open. Everyone took a fighting stance, expecting an attack. Dazai instinctively went in front of Rin to shield her. But the person by the door was just a woman wearing black suit and white shirt. Her hair was short and black. She seemed to be a beta. The expression on her face was beyond nervous as she looked frantically around the office as if she was desperately searching for something, then her eyes landed on Rin who went in front of Dazai.
-"Can we help you?" Kunikida subtly raised an eyebrow.
-"Miss Rin!! Finally, I found you!! Everyone is worried sick! Your father will definitely kill me!" The woman sighed in relief but she still looked shaken.
-"S-sorry Hana-san but I wanted to thank Sushi for the ice cream." Rin was fumbled with her dress.
-" Let's just take you back to your father okay?" The woman, Hana-san, smiled a bit forcibly.
-"Excuse me, but who are you exactly for that child ?" Oda asked.
-"I'm her babysitter. She ran off and everyone is stressed out. Let's not waste any more time, little miss." She was about to take Rin's hand but Dazai stopped her with a growl.
-"What are you doing, Dazai?!" Kunikida screeched.
-"You seemed to immediately know that she was here, isn't that suspicious?" Dazai asked the woman with a cold glare.
-"I'm just doing my job." The woman's voice shook.
-"Let her go, Dazai." Oda said and after some seconds, the brunet finally released her. Dazai didn't know what came into him, he didn't know why he was so protective of a kid he just met.
At last, Rin and the woman exited the office with hurried paces, leaving the confused detectives behind. What just happened?
Dazai felt empty all of a sudden.

Rin disappeared and the entire Port Mafia was on high alert. Search parties were spreading around the city. Even the boss was panicking. But Chuuya was the most freaked out of them all. The redhead's daughter just disappeared, no one could blame him. He was about to go search in every centimeters of Yokohama when his phone rang. Hana-san, Rin's current babysitter informed him that she found his daughter and that his baby girl was fine. The redhead exhaled in relief but the woman will get fired. How could she lose a five years old child? That was unbelievable. He really needed a glass of wine after that near heart attack.
-"Papa!!!" Rin jumped in Chuuya's arms as soon as she spotted him. - "Sorry for going somewhere without telling Hana-san, please don't punish her!" The kid's puppy eyes were too much. Well, Hana-san would 'just' get fired, that was the extent of his mercy.
-"Hey, sweetie!" Chuuya hugged his daughter tightly and released some soothing pheromones. - "You're lucky that Rin is generous enough to take your side." Chuuya glared at the (former) babysitter. - "Now, get out of my sight."
-"Thank you very much, sir!!" Hana-san bowed deeply before scurrying away as quickly as possible.
-"Let's go home." Chuuya said. - "And don't do something like that again!"
-"Yes, papa!"
-
-"I'm glad to know that Rin-chan is alright." The corner of Mori's lips lifted up.
-"Yeah and I don't think I'll EVER hire a babysitter again." Chuuya hissed through the phone.
-"I'm surprised that you let Hana-san go so easily." Mori chuckled.
-"Rin didn't wanted me to punish her. Plus, it wasn't entirely her fault, Rin can be a handful sometimes." Chuuya groaned.
-"I'm more than aware of that. Anyway, I called because I also wanted to inform you that we'll have a meeting with the detective agency tomorrow at 2 pm. There's a new group of gifted people who are causing trouble in Yokohama." The Boss' voice lowered to a notch.
-"Okay I'll make sure to be there on time tomorrow. Have a nice evening, Boss. "
-"Have a nice evening~"
Chuuya hung up and sighed. The redhead wondered if it was a good idea to return to Yokohama. Staying in France with Verlaine and Rimbaud would have been more peaceful but no, their friends and family were all in Yokohama. Verlaine and Rimbaud were family, too, but it wasn't the same. And Chuuya couldn't run away from his problems forever.
-"Papa! I met Sushi today. "
-"Oh yeah? Who's Sushi?" Chuuya was making dinner while Rin was watching him do so.
-"A kind guy who bought me ice cream. "
-"How very nice of him but next time, don't accept anything from strangers even if they seem nice. "
-"Okay!"
-"Go wash your hands, we'll eat soon."

When Dazai Osamu left the Port Mafia, four years ago, he unknowingly left a gift for Chuuya. That gift took the form of a cute baby girl. Omegas abandoned by their mate were supposed to fall apart but Chuuya had a motivation to keep going, it was the joy of having his own child, the only person that shared his blood . His little princess. Rin meant the world for Chuuya, he would do anything to make her happy. Mori was surprisingly supportive when he knew about the redhead's pregnancy. It was during that period when Chuuya found out that the Boss was also an omega, Mori Ougai was a feared man and a powerful mastermind, all of those traits mislead people to believe that he was an alpha.

All of the agency's core members were gathered in the Mafia's meeting room. Some executives and the black lizards were there as well. The Boss and the agency's President looked as calm as ever, as if it was just a tea party. Dazai still didn't tease Chuuya yet, which was a good thing. The redhead was feeling restless , he let Rin with Elise because the only people he trusted enough to look after her were all with him in this meeting room. He hoped that Elise was being more mature for once. Plus, Rin was a little off this morning. Was she getting sick?
Dazai glanced at Chuuya, even if they weren't together anymore, he could still sense the other's discomfort while no one else could. They were soulmates after all.
-"Well, let's begin _" *Crash*
Everyone turned toward the source of the sound. Elise entered the room, with Rin in her arms. Rin was crying and there was a little injury on her forehead.
-"Papa..." She cried softly.
Chuuya immediately stood up and took his daughter in his arms. He released some calming pheromones.
-"It's okay baby." Chuuya shushed her. The redhead forgot that the ADA's members were still in the room watching the scene with frozen expressions. Dazai's brain short-circuited while Ranpo was looking at everyone in amusement.
