"Oga?" A wide-eyed Furuichi said, with an equally surprised Kunieda beside him.
"All of you, get back." A green-haired Oga told his classmates.
Hildegarde was infuriated, seeing Oga in such state "Stop it, fool! If you continue to use such power, you and the Master will.." "Don't worry" Oga cut Hildegarde's speech.
"Oga Tatsumi is the only parent Baby Beel's got in the human world, right? Then, Believe!" Oga said with a devious smile on his face, his demonic aura can be felt by everyone. He created a Zebul Emblem, followed by hundreds of them. "I'll take them all... And blow 'em away!" He exclaimed as he charged forth at the line of Zebul Emblems, punching at full force.
The next thing everyone knew was that they had just witnessed a huge explosion, so bright that they covered their eyes. As the explosion subsided, all the guys were wide-eyed, as the ground where the grand building of Akumano Academy stood proudly was covered with dust cloud that reached the sky.
"Oga..." a silent whisper came out from Kunieda, who stood frozen with wide eyes, realizing the degree of the situation happening right before her eyes. Hilda was right, Oga shouldn't have done that... Kunieda thought, worrying about Oga. But then, she remembered how strong Oga was after he single-handedly destroyed both the old Ishiyama High and Himekawa's apartment building and escaped without a single scratch, which caused her lips to curve upwards. Oga will be standing there with his damn smirk, or maybe sleeping cutely like last time... The thought made her blush a little.
But as the dust cleared away, panic started to crept its way to Kunieda's heart, which started to beat erratically. "O-Oga? Ooogaaa?" She couldn't believe it, but all she could see in the crater that Oga created was rubble, and nothing else. She turned around and looked at the others. Her heart dropped when everyone refused to meet her gaze, they were all looking on the ground, exchanging occasional glance with one another.
This can't be...
"OGA!" Kunieda ran towards the pile of rubble. Her throat hurt from the screaming, but it was nothing compared to the pain of her throbbing heart. "OGA! Answer me you fool!"
"Aoi nee-san!" Nene rushed to Kunieda, whose body was starting to quiver. "Aoi nee-san, get a hold of yourself!" Nene raised her voice without noticing. "Nene..." Kunieda managed to say before passing out on Nene's arms.

It was sunset when Kunieda woke up. She felt something covering her body, which turned out to be Nene's Red Tails coat. "Nene, why was I asleep here?" Kunieda asked, noticing that she was just laying on the slope beside the river. Then she noticed the guys around her. Pointing at the guys, she asked, "what are we doing he-"and sudden realization hit her hard.
"Kunieda-senpai" Furuichi started, "This is the river where Oga met Baby Beel..." He continued, avoiding Kunieda's eyes.
"I know" she said as she walked to the edge. "Once upon a time, in a far away land, there was a handsome, grand, and popular young man who everyone respected and looked up to..." Kunieda recited, remembering her 'date' with Oga at Ishiyama Land. Tears welled up on the corner of Kunieda's eyes and her voice became raspy, "One day, the man picked a baby up from the river, which caused him all kinds of trouble..." Kunieda finally let the tears fall, drop by drop, it fell to the crystal clear water, forming tiny ripples. "Oi Kunieda, stop crying already!" Kanzaki yelled at her, despite crying anime tears himself.
"Enough with the tears!" Toujou stepped up, being the only one who managed to maintain his composure. "Oga is the strongest in Ishiyama, I believe he's now laughing with that arrogant, bastardous face, seeing us cry like weaklings!" Toujou exclaimed as he threw Himekawa and Kanzaki to the river. "You two, how could a member of Tohoshinki cry and whine like that?!" glaring at both Himekawa and Kanzaki, who manged to stand up. "I won't let weaklings like you at Ishiyama! How do you expect to maintain Ishiyama's reputation like this?!"
"And you, Queen of Ishiyama!" Toujou points at Kunieda, who stood speechless. "How could you be so pathetic?! You should go inform your King's family about what happened, shouldn't you, huh?!" Toujou roared not only to Kunieda, but to everyone in the vicinity.
Everyone looked at Kunieda sympathetically, thinking that she would be hurt by Toujou's outburst. Instead, they only saw Kunieda leaving with an unreadable face. "Toujou! How dare you?!" Nene grabbed Toujou by his neck, infuriated by the disrespect he showed towards Kunieda. Toujou smirked instead, "didn't you see? She just needed a little push. You guys are pathetic for crying like this." Toujou calmly removed Nene's hand and left with a smirk still on his face.
So, there goes! Hope you enjoy :)
A/N:Reviews are extremely welcome, so that I can write better, especially if the story is badly written or you think that the the pace of the story isn't satisfying, as I admit pacing is (one of) my weakness(es)
I will try to update weekly as much as possible, unless stated otherwise.
