Blackie's notes
Let's face it. Furuichi Takayuki is just a regular, hormone-driven teenager. Which puts him out of place in a setting full of delinquents with nothing in their heads but fights, vandalism and general mischief. That makes him the target of all the jokes and misunderstandings.
Plot Bunnies are surprised he hasn't cracked yet, so they started to play with him a bit and ended up with this crack pair.
The following stories aren't set in a particular order. They tend to jump all over the timeline. The mood also changes from story to story.
Also, depending on the direction the manga takes in the following weeks, this story runs the danger of becoming AU and one of the characters involved might end up OOC. If such a thing happens, some stories might be removed or revised.
Is a Shonen-ai crack pais is not your cup of tea, I suggest you hit the back button and read something else.
Introduction
The details of how the war started do not matter at all. Most people won't remember them and will leave it to history students to pore over and dissect to their heart's content. The only thing that matters is that the King of the Demon World knew it was going to happen and sent his children to the Human World under the guise of destroying it. The children and their servants knew not of the situation and passed their time quarreling over who would get to destroy the Human World, if they actually got around to doing it.
It wasn't until they received a letter, hand-written by Behemoth himself, that the children and their servants learned of the dissident group that was doing everything in their power to overthrow the royal family.
The Pillar Squad was no more, the letter said, with some of it's most powerful members taking the side of the rebels.
It also warned of a rebel force of unknown size that had crossed to the Human World, with orders to assassinate the princes and their followers, be it demon or human.
Thus the children and their servants put aside their differences to face the new threat.
It so happened that the Lord of the Flies, Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV, a.k.a Beel, had surrounded himself with an army of absurdly overpowered humans and half-demons, on par with the Pillar Squad and with the advantage of knowing the territory.
The prince's Contractor was considered one of the strongest. Next to them stood a human that, despite looking and being physically weak, was considered just as dangerous.
Considered the mastermind behind the youngest prince's victories, he was respected by the eldest prince.
Still, a demon with any common sense would not make a contract with such a human. Even if his mind was strong enough to withstand such power without breaking, a weak body would be unable to channel the raw demonic energy.
But survive the contract he did.
At first, Hecatos couldn't put his finger on it. He wasn't sure if it was coincidence, fate or pure luck that led to the current state of events. He had been patrolling the area when he came upon the human, Furuichi Takayuki being attacked by a trio of rebel demons.
Under normal circumstances, Hecatos would have easily dispatched of the three. But circumstances were not normal. The demons were contracted to a trio of equally ugly-looking human thugs. Uncontracted and unable to use his full powers, an injured Hecatos grabbed Furuichi was forced to retreat to save both their lives.
With the promise of a hefty reward for killing both a member of Beel's human army and a member of the Pillar Squad in one night, the rebels followed relentlessly.
It was the human's idea. Hecatos refused at first, not wanting to hurt one of the few persons his master appreciated. But surrounded and unable to contact friendly forces, Hecatos gave in. Something in the back of his mind told him the human would be alright.
It was the scent, Hecatos would later say. And he would recall one of the rebels making a comment about it during the chase. The rebel followed the scent his companions couldn't perceive and cornered them.
It was a bittersweet scent that led Hecatos to Furuichi in the first place. He had recognized it on a primal level and followed it unconsciously. He had felt it twice before, in a previous contractor and in the apartment were Master En had been indulging in his videogames.
Undetectable by humans and some demons, he hadn't paid attention to it then. Not even when he allowed his body to move by instinct to lick the blood from one of the human's wounds, sealing the contract.
The rebels ceased to exist in a matter of seconds, their contractors loosing all memory of the incident.
Needless to say, the war was eventually won by the royal family and their allies. But in the meantime, human and demon had many adventures in between the random rebel attack.
