Have another dumb AU fic, because why the hell not? I only decided to slowly finish this up after the Devil series was released. Kek. I finished this at 4am so mistakes are probably there.

Summary: Getting drunk, stumbling into an occult shop, and accidentally summoning the devil was not part of Maki's Friday plans. The book said Summoning Satan; not Summoning Santa.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

Pain.

Searing awful pain.

It felt like thousands of needles stabbing into her brain.

With a groan, Maki slowly cracked an eye opened—cursing as the pain intensifies even more. "Guhhh…ugh…my head…" She slowly sits up and massages her temples trying to ease her pain. Trying to keep whatever little content she had in her stomach from bubbling up. "That is the last time I listen to Rin into going bar hopping with them…"

Why was she on the floor and why was there candles everywhere? Luckily nothing got caught on fire. But there was an interesting searing smell that emanated in the room.

"And so the sleeping beauty finally awakes. You got a bit of drool dripping over there." An unfamiliar voice causes Maki to freeze and she peers over and squints her eyes—regretting it as she feels nauseas. Maki vomits on the floor.

"What the hell?!" The unknown intruder screeches as she jumps up into the air…and stays there.

Maki looks up at the intruder with wide eyes. Her face paling completely as her still hung-over brain was trying to process of what she was looking at. It was a younger looking girl. She wore all black…black tube top…miniskirt…long gloves…and even long boots.

It wasn't just the weird skimpy outfit that Maki even really noticed. What caught her attention was the small horns protruding on the girl's head. The small bat wings behind her flapping—keeping her afloat in the air. A long skinny tail with a heart shaped at the end twitches back and forth as her red eyes seems to almost peers into Maki's soul.

"Oh…my god…" Maki gasped as she stared incredulous.

"I'm a devil actually." The girl—or devil, says with a smirk as she lay on her stomach while still in the air. She rested her cheek on her hand as she hovered over Maki. "I'm certain I explained all of this shit for you last night though. Of course…you were really insistent I take you to the North Pole or something…"

"I…last night…you…" Maki gaped, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly. "You're a devil…?" She finally finished dumbly.

"Damn. You humans really are as stupid as always." Nico muses as she slowly starts descending while still in her comfortable pose before finally laying on Maki's bed. "Let's recap from the last episode, shall we~" She snaps her finger and suddenly the room becomes dark.

"What the hell?!" Maki screamed at the sudden darkness, wincing in regret as her head felt like it was going to explode.

"Believe me. This is nothing compared to hell." The girl chuckles. Suddenly the room begins to light up and blur until suddenly!

"Hic…I can't wait…to summon Santaaaaa…" A drunk Maki slurs as she sloppily draws the circle on the floor.

"Is…Is that me?!" Maki asks incredulously as she watches the scene unfolds in front of her like a movie. "Ten points to the red-head!" The devil says sarcastically as she floats next to her while eating popcorn. "Apparently you got shit-faced or something like that and decided to do a summoning."

Maki stared wide-eyed in horror at the scene, watching as her drunk past self stumbles about and begin to slur out the incantation. The magic circle flashes a dark red sinister color as smoke began to fill the room. A figure slowly starts to form and the devil girl appears.

The real devil next to Maki begins applauding and whistling. "Woo! This is my favorite part! Popcorn?" She asks offering Maki some of the popcorn that was strangely blood-red. The red-head shook her head, declining the offer and the devil only shrug and popped some more in her mouth.

"Who dares summon the Great Devil Nico?" The devil spoke in a sinister tone. Maki only stared up at the devil known as Nico and hiccupped. "Santa…?" She slurs as her amethyst eyes tries their best to stay focus.

"Okay. I…I think I get it…I remember…" Maki said, covering her red face. Nico waves her hand and the scene disappears, both of them returning to Maki's room once again, this time not as a scene from the past.

Maki stumbled a bit, rubbing her head and sitting on the bed. Nico hovered over her, the long tail flicking back and forth—this unnerved Maki to no ends.

"So…you're telling me…I drunkenly summoned you…a demon…a real devil…?"

"Yup. Pretty much. And as much as I hate to say it. I'm stuck with ya. Your wish is my every command and yadda yadda contract, blah blah souls."

Maki massaged her temples, trying to ease the headache that still pained her. "Devils and demons…they…they don't exist though. There's no way you're real…I don't believe in them."

Nico raised an eyebrow at this, "You don't believe in devils and demons…yet you apparently believe in Santa and was trying to summon him?"

"What do you mean believe in Santa?"

"…Well shit. Abort subject. Abort Abort." Nico quickly said as she spun in the air. "Who am I to tell you the harsh truth? A devil? Oh wait…I am." She stops spinning and then grins mischievously at Maki.

Maki did not like that look.

"I hate to break it to you, toots-oh wait…no. I love to break it to you. But Santa is not rea-"

The alarm clock on Maki's nightstand starts ringing loudly, interrupting Nico and thankfully saving Maki's innocence.

"Wow. What great timing…" Nico sneered.

Maki promptly ignored her and grabbed the alarm clock with a gasp. "Oh no! I'm going to be late! Dammit!" In a hurry, Maki began rushing around the small apartment room. "Look, just go back to the little portal or something that you came from and let me go back to my normal life." She said while popping some painkillers into her mouth and made shooing motions at Nico.

"Don't shoo me away like I'm some sort of pest! We're contracted now, whether you—or me…likes it!" Nico scowled.

"Okay, fine. Whatever! I break the contract! I free you! Something, something, abra kadabra!" Maki yelled waving her hands at Nico as if that would do something, she quickly slipped on her shoes and was already out the door. "Look. I really don't have time for this. I'm going to be late for my classes! I'll deal with you afterwards then."

And with that Maki slammed the door shut, leaving a devil alone in her apartment room.

The door creaked open and Maki peeked in, glaring at Nico. "J-Just don't…set my apartment on fire or something…just keep it clean."

"Is that a wish worth your soul?"

"NO."

Maki sighed as she took her seat on an empty table on the campus. She rubbed her eyes and stretched to rid her drowsiness from the boring class—that she was luckily able to make it to on time.

"Maki-chan!" The sound of an excited bubbly voice—that made Maki's headache return at full-force—interrupted the silent and calm atmosphere that she was trying to keep.

"There you are! I was wondering why you didn't return my texts or anything last night! Did you hook up with someone and left the bar early or something? Kayochin was really worried! She's still a little hungover too! Hey, also can I borrow your notes? I forgot to take some, because I- " Maki reached out and placed her palm right at her excitable friend's face, effectively shutting her up.

"Rin…" Maki said slowly and calmly, "Please shut up."

Rin simply just licked Maki's hand, causing the other girl to jolt her hand off Rin's face with disgust. Maki wiped her hand on Rin's shoulder before going back to doing what she was planning on doing earlier. She laid her head down on her arms and then went dead silent. The orange-haired girl raised an eyebrow at this and walked around the table before taking a seat across Maki. She laid her chin on her arm and poked Maki's head with her free hand. "Maki-chan?"

"Unless you're going to tell me you have a crate of tomatoes with you, don't talk to me."

"So cruel! Why are you so mean right now? Are you on your period or something?"

Maki raised her head up and glared at Rin. "Please stop shouting about my menstrual cycle so loudly on the campus."

"Okay okay. I was just kidding, nyah." Rin retreated back before settling into a more comfortable position and looking at Maki once again. "So about last night…?"

"No. I didn't hook up with anyone."

"Boo. Nothing interesting happened after that?" Rin pouted as she tried to get any fun information or stories from her red-headed friend. "Wanna hear about Rin's grand adventures after you left the club then?"

The glaring look Maki gave Rin said everything.

Rin either didn't notice the look or just didn't care. "So anyways, after you left. There was this weird lady that came by and started talking to us, you know? She was really pretty, but weird. She was talking about some stuff about fate and like sh-"

Maki got up and walked away to sit at another table several feet away from the other table.

"Maki-chaaaaaaaaannn!" Rin cried out as she dramatically stretched her arms out while still sitting at the same table. "Jeez, Rin. Can you just be quiet for a moment?" Maki groaned and rested her head on her arms once again.

"Scuse me, can you help me out?" A familiar voice caused Maki to perk up and whip her head up so fast she almost had a whiplash.

"Nyah? Are you lost little girl?" Rin asked as she bounced off the table and stared at a familiar young girl wearing a purple pink hoodie with devil horns sticking out of the hood, the long skinny tail wrapped around the black miniskirt making it seem like a fancy-looking belt, long pink stockings up to her knees. Red eyes narrowed at Rin before a devilish smirk appeared on her face.

"Yes, Nico's lost. Maybe you can help Nico?" She asked with a cutesy voice that made Maki want to throw up.

A strange glazed look overcame Rin's face, almost as if she was hypnotized. She leaned closer to Nico until their faces with a few inches apart. "Of course…" She murmured. Maki stood up at the scene, a weird dark feeling bubbling down the pits of her stomach. It definitely wasn't from being hung-over, that she knew.

"Thank you so much~" Nico hummed with a wide grin, her fangs showing. She stroked Rin's cheek and RIn leaned closer. Their faces now just a few centimeters apart.

"Oi! What the hell do you two think you're doing?!" Maki yelled as she quickly shoved Rin aside. Rin stumbled a bit, blinking a few times trying to remember what just happened. "Was…I doing something…?" She blinked again as she realized she was the only one left in the area.

Maki was dragging Nico by her arm, she pushed Nico against the wall and trapped the shorter girl between her arms. "What the hell did you just do back there to Rin?!" Maki glared down at the devil who only gave her an annoying smirk.

"I was only going to quiet her up for a moment like you wanted her to." She said innocently with a hum.

Maki eyebrows creased and furrowed down in confusion. "…Have…have you been following me?" That still didn't answer Maki's question of what happened to Rin though.

Nico only shrugged as she peered up at Maki, her expression completely neutral now. "I'm only doing what a contracted summon is supposed to do. I just put that loud girl under a charm to quiet her up…and then maybe devour her soul…" Nico mumbled the last part.

"Devour her soul?!"

"Yeah. Duh, Devil. Hell spawn? Souls collector? I wasn't going to REALLY devour her soul. Even if her soul is pretty pure and delicious looking." Nico said with a slight hungry look in her eyes and she licked her lips.

"Leave. Rin. Alone." Maki growled as she leaned close to Nico's face, staring her right in the eyes. Those red…hypnotizing eyes.

Okay, maybe that wasn't the brightest idea and for some odd reason Maki felt a bit flushed so she quickly pushed away from Nico and turned her head to the side to avoid the devil's smug expression. "You're supposed to listen to me right? Well, don't hurt my friends."

"Is that a wish worth your soul?" Nico sang in an annoyingly high pitched sing-song voice and Maki gritted her teeth and clenched her fist trying to fight the urge to punch this little devil brat.

"If so be it. Just don't hurt any of my friends." She took a deep breath and steeled her gaze at the devil—who only looked at her with a perplexed expression.

Nico eventually sighed before turning away from Maki. "I'm just kidding about the whole soul thing. Jeez, it was just a joke." She laughed before turning back to face Maki, her arms behind her back and her tail flickering freely—the bottom of the hoodie flowing just a little from the wind. She hopped backwards a bit before jumping a little higher, hovering in the air.

"Relax, human. I may be a devil, but I still follow the oath of the contract—even if the contract was made in a drunken stupor." Her red eyes seem to gleam with a strange emotion as she continued to look down at Maki. "Just know that you and I are bounded by that shit contract and there's only one way out of it. I'd tell you what it is…but I think I've taken an interest in you. I'll wait for you like a good little devil at home~"

With that Nico seemingly disappeared in thin air.

Maki blinked as she tried to process what the strange being said and rubbed her face. "I…I don't get this…" She murmured to herself. As she removed her hand from her face, Maki noticed something. Something she didn't noticed at all—possibly because she was so busy and stressed with everything that have went on—her hand had a strange marking. It was in a similar black inky heart style as Nico's tail.

Maki realized her life wouldn't be the same again.

Because the Devil is a Childish Brat…

Author's Rambling: I'm so sorry for making another AU fic that I'll probably never finish. I can't help it, I have a problem. I just really wanted Devil Nico making Maki's life difficult.

Hope you all enjoyed the story and if you did, feel free to drop a review and tell me how much you hate my guts for doing this to you.
