There's good news and bad news. The good news is that I'm continuing the story. The bad news is that I might end up having to upload short chapters and have a long time gap between updates. And I'm also sorry that it took so long to update this, but procrastination + summer hw = crap load of work. Anyway I promise that I'll try my best to update the story where you don't have to wait so long. Please bear with me and without further ado disclaimers.

Over the next few days, Hilda would drop by after school to pick up Oga. It became a habit that when she arrived everyone would avoid her. After the incident with Manuke, a different group of boys approached her asking if she wanted to join their crew. She declined saying how she didn't have time to play with brats. Being the brats they are, they attempted to beat her up. The key word being attempted as Hilda took the down every single one of them in a blink of an eye standing on top of them looking like a true demon. Everyone soon learned after not to approach her or risk your life.
"Look it's her, that demon girl. I heard she worships the devil and kills little kids as an offering. I heard she killed her own family before she could even talk that's why she's always alone. Quick, don't look into her eyes or she might kill you," whispered a group of girls as they hurried past her avoiding eye contact.
Hilda just sighed thinking how it reminded her of the demon world. Back home, all the other young demons would talk behind her back because she was stronger than the rest. They would avoid her whenever they could and if someone did approach her it was because they wanted to fight. She was always alone. She was used to it so it didn't bother her as much.
She looked across the courtyard wondering what was taking Oga so long when she saw a white haired boy running towards her. When he got closer she realized that it was Oga's perverted friend Furuichi. "Where's Oga?" she asked displeased that she had to wait this long.
Panting, Furuichi said, "Oga he…. he got caught by Makune….. and his gang. They said… they wanted to beat him up for… what you did to him. Please, you have to help him."
"Why should I help him?" she asked indifferent, "If he's a man then he should be able to get out of that mess himself without relying on others." She turned around and started walking out the gates.
"But he's your friend," yelled Furuichi, but he stopped realizing that Hilda had turned around her ice cold eyes glaring at him. He could feel the air getting colder as he broke into a cold sweat. She walked up to him each step he felt sending him closer to death.
"Let me make this clear. He is nothing more to me than a contractor. If he dies then I can just find someone else to form a contract with. So, if you ever call me his friends again I will show you what a true demon looks like," she said her eyes staring straight into Furuichi's soul. She turned back towards the gates and left.
While Furuichi was still getting over the shock of getting a girl mad, Oga on the other hand was trying to get of the bind he was in. He was surrounded by nearly 20 boys each wanting to take a swing at him with Makune up front.
"Hey Oga, your little girlfriend humiliated me in front of the entire school. I've got kids thinking I'm not as bad as I seem. My whole reputation is ruined thanks to her," he said cracking his knuckles.
"But what does that have to do with me?" Oga asked eyeing the many boys around him.
"I figure since she's too tough to take head on I plan on making you a hostage that way she won't be able to do a thing. We'll teach that bitch a lesson she'll never forget. I can't wait to see her beg for mercy," he sneered already picturing Hilda in tears.
"What did you say?" he asked feeling something rising in his chest.
"I said we're going to teach that bi – " he didn't get a chance to finish with Oga's fist smashing against his face. He stepped back from the punch stunned that Oga just hit him. "Bitch you're de – " again he was interrupted by Oga's fists only this time he was sent flying to the wall.
"Yeah I heard you. I was just wondering if you would be stupid enough to actually try it," he said his voice deathly calm, "Let me make this clear. I won't forgive anyone that will make her cry!" With that a black aura erupted from him surrounding him like a shroud. He could feel power coursing through him; the power to beat up anyone in his way. So this is what Hilda meant by channeling demonic energy eyeing the energy emitting from the Black Rose seal on his hand. An evil grin soon made its way across his face as he looked at the now scared boys.
The boys just sat there scared shitless. Just a second ago, standing in front of them was a wimpy looking Oga, but now he looked like a demon. His eyes were glowing red with a smile that could make grown men cry surrounded by a mysterious black shroud that suddenly appeared. They were too scared to move. The only thing they could do was cower as Oga got closer and closer his satanic smile getting bigger and bigger.
"What the hell are you pussies doing?" yelled Makune breaking the trance. "So what if he looks a little scary he's still the weak crybaby Oga underneath. If you pussies don't take Oga down I'm going to beat the shit out of you worse than what he could ever do." He let the words sink in as he saw the wanted reaction he got. Everyone's faces were scared wondering whether they should do what Makune said. Even if Oga looked scary now they feared Makune more. Not wanting to get beat up, they got up slowly and started to surround Oga. Happy that he got his desired effect, he shouted one command, "KILL HIM!"
"Bring it on!" he yelled still smiling as everyone rushed at him.
A few minutes later, Oga was standing in the center of a ring of beaten up bodies. He looked at the bodies lying around proud of his handiwork. "So this is what it feels like to completely beat the shit out of someone. It feels nice," he walked out of the circle stepping on anyone under his foot when he felt something hit his head. The force knocked him down as he felt something heavy sitting on top of him pinning him to the ground. He struggled to break free when he heard his voice.
"It's useless Oga I've got you pinned. You should know better, though, than to turn your back on me," Manuke sat on top of him sounding clearly unharmed. "I hid behind the corner over there waiting for you to lower your guard. And now that I got you on the ground I'm going to enjoy beating you into a bloody pulp." He started sending a barrage of punches on to Oga's back; enjoying listening to him scream every time his fist met his back.
"You coward," Oga gritted through the flurry of blows slowly losing consciousness.
"Call me what you like, but I could give a shit as long as I come out on top," Manke laughed. "Say hi to kami for me cuz I plan on going for him next." He raised both of his arms ready to give Oga the final blow when he stopped feeling a sheer killer intent behind him. He slowly turned around to see the demon before him. If Manuke was scared of Hilda before now he was plain terrified.
She stood there gripping her umbrella to the point that it would snap under all that pressure. Her already cold, deadly eyes took on an even colder and deadlier look if that was even possible. Her demonic aura was flaring to the point where the nearby plants around her turned brown and shriveled up. The smile on her face sent chills right down to Manuke's very soul. She walked up to him still smiling while all the plant life around her was withering away. "Before you take on kami perhaps you would like to try your best against a devil first," she said unsheathing her knife which looked a lot more menacing now.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me," he got off of Oga quickly backing away. He got down and started begging for her to let him go, "Please forgive me it won't happen again." Sweat was all over his body as he whimpered hearing Hilda get closer and closer.
"Oh I know it won't ever happen again. I'll make sure of that," Hilda said bringing her knife up her demonic aura flaring full force.
"No please NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Nearby birds flew off hearing Manuke's scream of terror filling the air.
"Ugh what happened?" Oga groaned picking himself off the floor still hurt from his recent beating.
"I just saved your sorry butt that's what happened."
Oga looked to see whose voice was that only to see Hilda standing next to what looked like Manuke. He wasn't too sure because the body was all lumpy from the many bruises on it. Hilda walked over to him frowning.
"Do you know how much trouble it was looking for you? And when I do, I find you inches away from the gates of death. Do you know how much trouble it would cause for me to find out my contractor is dead?" Hilda was enraged at this point her demonic aura flaring. "That's why I've decided to punish you for your uselessness." She lunged at him raising both her arms.
Fearing for the worse Oga braced himself only to be surprised to feel Hilda bury her head in his chest. Tears were streaming down her eyes as she clutched him fearing that he would disappear. "Hilda?" Oga stuttered.
"That's why as punishment I forbid you from ever dying," she continued to hug him crying more loudly. "You are to never leave me alone."
Oga was stunned but recollected himself as he returned Hilda's embrace. He could feel the armor that usually protected her melt away in his arms and sitting before him now was a little girl that was afraid of being alone. "Don't worry, I promise I'll never leave your side," he stroked her hair repeating it over and over.
I hope I met your expectations with this and you enjoyed it. Please read and review until next time
