Hidden Perspective

"You want to know why I think you are a pathetic human?" Hilda questioned, her voice laced with venom as she turned and faced Oga with a glare. The stupid human was obvious to everything.

"Yes. I can't read your mind. I'm tired of this,"

"Tired of what?" she narrowed her green eyes dangerously at him.

"Tired of these mood swings. One moment you say I'm okay, the next moment you tell me that I'm not even worthy to be Baby Beel's dinner," Oga was particularly snappish today. Master had shocked him quite a bit while he was in the shower and they were particularly painful since it was close to 15 meters.

"So tell me already. I'm tired of these demon mood swings. I already have to deal with Baby Beel's behavior. You are his 'mother,' which in a sense means we need to communicate," Oga's voice was equipped with curiosity an emotion he rarely expressed. Oga normally could care less about others, but he had shown a growing attachment to Bab- Master lately... maybe it was safe to say what was on her mind. No she had let enough slip about herself; she straightened her back as she resolved to tell him no more than necessary about herself for Master's sake from now on.

She sighed and glanced out Oga's window watching the tree outside his room sway gently in the breeze. But they were friends weren't they? He had come to her rescue when that idiot dolt of a human caught her, but then again maybe he had only come for Furuichi. The truth of the matter was Hilda didn't know what to make out of Oga. At some moments he seemed to be a worthy human to be considered Master's parent and at other times he showed human compassion and feelings that repulsed her demon side. As much as that behavior repulsed her she had to admit she admired it at the same time. Oga was truly a unique human to say the least.

Keeping her composure she let a small breath escape her lips and closed her eyes.

"You are human and unworthy to be his parent," she deadpanned. Stick with the safe response. It wasn't like she would ever get a choice in the matter anyways. She could feel his glare as he sat there unmoving on the floor, Master resting peacefully in his lap. Peeking through her eye lids she saw them together and she had to admit that the combination was quiet… cute if she could say so herself.

"That isn't it," he whispered almost tenderly. She knew what he was getting at now. Furuichi had set him up to be romantic or something so he would get somewhere with her. Stupid Oga was such an idiot. He had but one redeeming quality and he had tried to give that up. Such an idiot. To waste such power on trying to rid himself of Baby B- Master. But then again she couldn't really tell what his motives were anymore.

He was being … nicer than when she had first met him. His demeanor had softened but his strength was still there untouched by his softened heart. He was getting extremely perceptive even if he wouldn't show it. Statements like these were traps to get her to talk to fill the room with more than Master's 'Dah's and drabbles. She had to be careful, humans were certainly clever creatures. Her 'soaps' and watching Oga interact with others like his family told her that much.

"Of course that is it. You tried to give up Master. You disregard the honor that has been offered to you and you try and try again to violate the contract between you and the young Demon Lord," half truth but truth none the less.

"I changed my mind,"

She scoffed at him and crossed her arms.

"Obviously or we wouldn't be here,"

"Ya you'd be over at Aoi's house trying to merge into her family," he smirked a little at the thought. Hilda didn't know it but he knew about her battle with Aoi.

"Maybe Master would be better over there," she snapped.

"But you wouldn't be,"

By the Great Demon Lord's fire he knew! He had to have known that she was… jealous. Yes Hilda was slightly jealous. She hated that this young girl's strength was something that Oga admired and liked about her and that Master admired it too. Oga had even caught on that Kota was her brother and was ecstatic when he found out that the Queen and Aoi was the same girl. He didn't express it to anyone but Hilda had heard him while he rambled to Bab- MASTER like he normally did. Again his sly ability at reading people and playing stupid ate at her. What else had he guessed? She let her bangs fall into her face as she bowed her head and picked up a magazine to distract herself from the conversation.

Enough of this nonsense conversation, she thought as she flipped through the magazine not noticing what she was looking at as she flipped blindly.

"I can help if you want," Oga said concern lacing into his voice. She hated that emotion, that pity she felt rolling off of him in waves. He had proved that he cared for his friends and it touched her that he thought of her as a friend but… he showed up for Furuichi she reminded herself firmly. Besides she didn't want friendly emotions here. She didn't like being taunted with something she couldn't have as it dangled in front of her face. She had one purpose, to serve Master; there was no room to think of herself. She nodded to herself as she flipped through the pages with blindness. No more emotions or conflictions she absolved.

"I'll help you Hilda," Oga's voice was suddenly much closer than she had anticipated as she looked up and met his dark onyx colored eyes. The nod that had been for herself he had obviously taken to mean that was for him and she was granting him permission to help her.

"Pft. I don't need your help," she stood and crossed the room. Picking up Master where he lay curled on the floor.

"Sure you do. I helped Furuichi with this I can help you,"

That statement gave her pause. What did he mean he helped Furuichi with this?

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I know your secret. I can help you," he sounded gentle but menacing at the same time. Maybe that was why he appealed to Master so. Maybe it was because he could be caring and supportive like a real parent while at the same time strong and sturdy like a demon.

"I don't have secrets," she growled. What could he have possibly thought was going on?

"Sure you do," his tone was light as he picked up the discarded magazine. He held it lightly in his hands as if it were scarred. Slowly he held it up to meet her gaze.

Her jaw dropped.

She had been flipping through a PORN magazine. A fierce blush threatened to take over her face before she regained her composure. So that was what Oga thought was her secret? That she liked females? She could live with that. This had the potential to make things less complicated around here and it would maybe get rid of his stupid friend Furuichi from drooling over her. She smiled wickedly and shrugged her shoulders adopting an expression she hoped was close to being caught red handed.

"I guess you caught me," she winced to herself as her tone came out unemotional like it did at times. She didn't like being monotone but it wasn't a choice for her. She wasn't allowed to have emotions, to consider her own feelings, she had Master to worry for.

"Then I can help you be with Aoi,"

This time a blush did succeed in escaping her control as it spread along her face. He thought she was in love with Aoi? That was ridiculous! She hated that stupid girl that was strong but represented the 'greater good' of Oga's school. Her long flowing black hair and gentle blue eyes that enraptured Oga, although he refused to admit it Hilda could still smell his desire for the girl. She repressed a snarl from escaping her but her hand twitched for her sword. Oga was an idiot that was something that would never change. If she had never let these emotions develop this would have never been a problem. Jealousy was an emotion that most demons experienced; even Master had gone through it when that cat had followed Oga home. Jealousy was okay to have if the demon was in love... She winced to herself again. She did not love Oga. She gasped as she realized she admitted the suppressed thought to herself. The denial in her mind was not strong enough… she loved him. This was not happening.

"I am not a lesbian you IDIOT," the snarl she had been holding back escaped her lips as she bared her teeth at him.

Damn him and his appealing ways. He appealed to her, as much as she didn't want to admit it. He would appeal to any demon because of his hard demeanor and nonchalant attitude. Baby Bee- Master was a case and point of this. If Master succumbed to this human that didn't mean she was weak for the same thing was it? She swallowed and tried to regain control of her rapidly accelerated breath.

Oga scratched his head and feigned a small frown. His black eyes swirled with human emotions as he studied her for a long time.

"So what is it then?"

She didn't want to admit it. She didn't like how he went to Aoi for advice about Baby Beel or how he made a connection with her young brother for Baby Beel to be a lifelong friend. She hated how he ignored her infinite knowledge of the demon world and would often times settle for learning things himself. She hated that he refused to fight girls even though he wouldn't admit it. She hated that he was so hard to figure out and guess what he was thinking.

She hated him… yet she loved him unconditionally for all the same reasons.

She snarled in answer. Pulling the magazine from his hands and settling back on the bed settling Master unto the soft pillow beside her.

She felt him sit on the bed close to her. His hip touching hers as his arm slid around her. In one fluid movement he had his body pressed against hers while at the same time stole the magazine from her grasp. He didn't move and lazily tossed the magazine to the floor and kept his arm settled around her.

He was far too close for comfort and she could feel his hot breath on her skin as his onyx eyes bore into her. She shivered and watched as his eyes lit up with recognition. So this had all been a game? To see if his speculations were right?

"Soo..?"

He wasn't going to drop this? Didn't he know how dangerous this was? Did he think this was all a game?

"You are an idiot Oga,"

He leaned forward his lips a centimeter away from hers. He gazed deeply into her eyes begging for permission. Stupid Oga and his ways of being honorable in the most discreet ways, her thought trailed off as she nodded her head ever so slightly. Their lips came into contact.

For a moment neither demon or human moved. Then suddenly a flurry of motion as Oga deepened the kiss. He pressed his lips aggressively into hers sweeping his tongue along begging for entrance. Her mouth opened on its own will and suddenly they were rolling on the bed both trying to gain dominance.

She growled as he settled on top of her, effectively keeping her in place by pinning her hands down and straddling her hips. Hilda could feel her heart thundering in her chest and wondered briefly for a moment if Oga could tell.

"DAH,"

They both froze.

"DAHHHH,"

Hilda struggled to sit up but Oga kept his grip.

"We'll continue this when he goes back to sleep," he whispered huskily into her ear. She nodded in response shivers racing down her spine. His weight was suddenly off her.

She watched as he picked up Baby Beel from beside them and prepared a bottle for the baby demon Lord. She felt her heart tighten as Baby Beel snuggled into his chest and cooed affectionately. As long as these emotions didn't interfere with his… then she could be allowed some freedom…

She watched Oga's eyes as he patted Baby Beel's head and spoke gently with him clearly glad that the baby was not crying and electrocuting him. She allowed herself a small smile as Master's eyes closed in bliss. Even demons could find happiness.

Oga's eyes met hers. They spoke volumes. He did know that she held back from showing emotions because of Baby Beel, because he was her Master, but that didn't mean she didn't have them. Oga might play the arrogant tough human but he knew a lot more than he let on. Maybe he wasn't such an idiot after all. She shouldn't be quick to judge him. A thought presented itself to her. He had set up the magazine so it would be there to bring up; he had planned this all out. She would have been mad but she was dazed. Oga was clearly a lot smarter than he let on, he must have guessed she had feelings for him even with her cold demeanor. This must've been his way of telling her he liked her too.

Relieved that she wouldn't ever have to speak the words out loud she watched as Baby Beel finished his bottle. Oga grinned at her as Baby Beel's eyes began to close. Oga's eyes were filled with lust and knowledge. This would be an interesting night.

AN: Okay let me know if you caught on to these things.

One, I had Oga tell Hilda that Furuichi had come out of the closet to him. He doesn't flat out say that but it's hinted. I thought it was rather funny. I also had Hilda flipping through a porn magazine hahahaha... welll I thought it was funny at least.

Two, I know I made them both pretty soft but we all know they are sweet hearts underneath. Plus they never say anything out loud so I thought that hit the spot of keeping up the façade.

Let me know what you think of this! First Beelzebub fanfic so I'm not too sure how I did. I hope this was enjoyed.

Much enthusiasm,
