Chapter 3 – Food, Family And Plans.
The city of Ishiyama was an interesting place, but like any other it was divided by community and other demographic factors. You had the ruff end of the spectrum which housed the lowest of the low, either by choice or not. Criminals and the homeless gathered together trying to live their lives with what they had.
The next phase up would be the many delinquents and wanabe gangster that roamed throughout the city either from privilege or poverty trying to make a name for themselves. Loitering around back alleyways and arcade stores, getting in to fights, committing petty and serious crimes or just joy riding on motor bikes and in cars.
Above them stood the working class citizens who tried their best to make a living with want they had, students getting and education and the average tommy making his way through life. Not to forget the gossiping house wives and mothers watching their children grow.
Superior to them were the high income earners, money was what they had to have a good life. Not rich enough to live the rest of their lives carefree but well off enough to relax and enjoy their time, more than likely they were the bosses of the working class citizens.
Above them were the wildly known Yakuza who surprisingly maintained order within the city, something the authorities could not manage. Rather than a corrupt monopoly this system worked on trust between the protectors and protected, Ishiyama was notorious for its crime rate but with these bands of bandits there was a systematic plan that benefited both of the parties.
At the top stood the ELITES, men who had a hand in everything. Corporate executives and politicians who lined their pockets with money, they would do anything to stay at the top of the hierarchy and have the power. To bring them to justice was something the ordinary man could not even comprehend, these were truly corrupt bastard.
The city was also segregated by areas as well, the higher tier of social class were located North-east of the city whilst the other side of the spectrum was allocated in the South-west. A clear distinction of authority and power. Of course the majority of space was taken up by the middle class but there were a mixing of different hierarchy levels.
You would always find the odd delinquents in upstate areas either to try and start something or just wanting to become gagster, because it was cool. There was also the rich who would send their dogs to run errands in the dark areas of Ishiyama to try and gain more power or wealth.
For Tatsumi Oga all this did not really matter, he was a simple man who had money in his pocket and a hunger in his stomach. He had left school before noon and was now on route towards one of his favourite places, the croquette shop. Furuichi was following a bit behind Tatsumi and baby Beel was on his back, the sun was emitting a warm light for an early April day.
Their current location was in a small shopping district, south of the main station and west of Ishiyama High. They had walked for about twenty minutes before they reached a small store with a very old lady sweeping the front of the store with a broom.
Oga walked up towards her and stated his demands.
"Hey old lady, double the usual please." His tone was kind but his words were not.
The lady turned around with a smile on her face and looked at Oga.
"Tatsumi it is good to see you." She spoke slowly with a minute croak in her voice, she seemed to take no offence to Oga's earlier remark. "The fresh ones are just coming… Tatsumi is that your child?" Her eyes were taken in by the green haired baby resting on Oga's shoulder.
"Oh don't you start as well, listen hag this is not my brat." Talking too loudly he started to get the attention of the other customers and store keepers in the street.
"There's no need to be shy boy I can tell by the eyes that he is yours, so tell me who's the lucky lady?" The croquette shop owner walked forward to get a better look at Beel who was waving his arm in the air.
"She's aright bitch and she dumped this kid on my ass and you need to get your eyes checked if you think we look alike." Oga pointed his finger at her which Beel mimicked, this did not prove Oga's point.
"Well it doesn't matter anyway, I would have thought you would end up with the pretty white haired boy. You dodged a bullet there." She started walking back to her stall.
"Hey I'm right here!" Furuichi spoke up when he finally caught up, "What do you mean by pretty boy, I'm handsome right? Like if you were younger I would remind you of your husband right?" Furuichi tried desperately to counter argue the claim.
"No my dear I'm saying you remind me of my granddaughter, grow your hair out longer and dye it black you would fit the part perfectly." She placed the croquettes in a bag and handed it to Oga, she patted Beel on the head when he got into arms reach.
"Furuichi at least we know your target partners now, here you go hag here's five thousand Yen." Oga handed her the money, "To pay of my tab and extra."
"Your tab was only two hundred Yen boy, this is too much. Keep it you will need it now you are supporting a family." The old lady gave a sincere smile and tried handing the money back.
"Don't worry just treat me to more croquettes another day, let's go Furuichi." Oga gave his command and Furuichi followed behind complaining.
"OI you said you were going to treat me to ramen and what do you mean about ..."
The croquette lady watched the bickering boys backs disappear, she picked up her broom again and started slowly sweeping with a smile on her face.
(Scene break)
Furuichi slurped the last bit of his ramen, sitting on a bench near the river bank and he exhaled in delight. Oga was at the edge of the river bank skipping stones that would reach to the bank on the other side. He was spouting nonsense about his super Oga rock flick, Beel was making all types of sounds out of pure bliss.
Furuichi placed his empty containers in bin next to him and headed off to Oga. Oga had already finished his food and now was messing around.
"What are you doing?" Furuichi came up and asked his best friend.
"Look here… I've got to keep this brat from blowing his top of which means that I need to keep him entertained. I'm at a deadlock here, his tears means my life." Oga carried on skipping stones.
"Well clearly you didn't think about it."
"What do you mean?"
"Look at him he is ecstatic, so when you stop he will want more and when you don't deliver the kids going to be pretty sad." Furuichi put a lot of emphasis on the last word.
"Damnit you're right Furuichi, what am supposed to do now?"
"Well don't stop, easy as that."
"Like hell it is! I'm not going to stand here all day."
"The only thing I can think of is bribe the kid with something else, you do that I'm going home."
"Fuck no you're not!" Oga stopped to turn around and face Furuichi, Beel saw that the stones stopped going and got upset.
"Nope I don't want to get zapped like some fly."
"That bitch is at home probably still sleeping and I'm here trying to not get killed and you want to run off?"
Beel tried getting his dad's attention but to no anvil, he got even more upset. Furuichi however caught up on the predicament, the big boobed blondie was sleeping in the Oga household. Furuichi mind got carried away and started to imagine irrelevant things. Was she wearing her maid uniform or was she wearing a see through negligee or n..nn…naked. Blood started coming out of Furuichi's nose and his perverted smile make him look creepy.
"Gross…" Oga commented on his best friend's complexion. Beel now was pissed he was not getting any attention, reaching his limit he started to cry. Both boys were hit by painful electricity bolts being sent from the child.
Oga fought through the pain and patted the child on his head, now all three boys were lying on the grass. Two of them burnt and the other snivelling with tears in his eyes.
"Oga I've got an idea…" Furuichi whimpered out in pain, "…let's go to your house." Noting could stop him now that he was being fuelled by the thought of Hilda being naked and in bed. "My house is destroyed and no one awake is going to be at yours?"
As they started to get to their feet Furuichi felt pain, it was his second zapping and he highly doubt it was going to be his last. As they made their way up the river bank Oga felt as he was being watched, turning around to survey the area around him he saw nothing. Letting it be he carried on up and saw Furuichi was already miles ahead sprinting with glee and a glazed look in his eyes. Oga ran to catch up with the other teen with baby in hand.
In the river a head popped out, it was a man with a big moustache.
"Ohhhhhhhh so clever Mr Furuichi, I best tell Miss Hilda about this." The big head went back under water as small bubbles quickly came up.
(Scene break)
An hour and a half later they stood in front of the Oga household. Oga looked fine and Beel looked happy on his back but Furuichi looked ruffled. His hair was out of place and his clothes were creased. Other than that both boys were fine.
"Surprisingly you only got in to one fight, we went straight through unknown territory which was a big gamble." Furuichi put down his analysis on the situation.
"Well you just carried on running like an idiot and started to make random detours, at least I made a fortune." Oga bragged about the number of Yen notes in his hands. "Look on the bright side Beel is now clam and he doesn't look like crying."
"Well we can only hope so. That one guy creeped me out, he said I looked good holding a pink umbrella." Furuichi shook his head and tried opening the door but found it locked.
"Hey open the door." Oga ordered.
"It's locked idiot and don't make too much noise you'll wake up Hilda, to stay on the safe side which room is she sleeping in… just in case?" Furuichi asked his question in disguise to find out the exact location of the blond.
Oga might have not have been the smartest person around but he was not stupid. Having being with Furuichi for years he had gotten used to his antics.
"She'll kill you if you try anything you know? Moms probably out for shopping and the woman is sleeping upstairs, let's go around the back." Oga made his way around the house to find another point of entry, Furuichi stayed behind him quietly.
"Oh sweet maiden how thou slumber on thy own, devoid of your beloved whom is cursed by your beauty." Furuichi muttered as he tried guessing which upstairs room held the blond bombshell. "We were fated to meet and fight through the hardships of those who envy us, our love so powerful that it could not be stopped by anything. You of demonic heritage and me of human lineage, how I curse the universe to be against us…"
"Furuichi shut up or I will punch you." Oga violently spat as he had gotten annoyed with the other boys stupidity.
Luckily the double sliding glass doors behind the house were open, even if it wasn't Oga had a plan. Back in the day he and his older sister made arrangements, coming come late was worse than not coming come at all. It was an issue when their parents got disturbed in the middle of the night or really early in the morning, so a spare key was created and stored under the shed. Misaki had made a copy and stored it in a hole under the shed that was only accessible from behind and it was well hidden.
The sliding doors lead into the living room, this was used for when guest came and all the furniture was high end, nice and clean. The downstairs floor plan of the Oga household was simple, there were a total of Six rooms. The toilet room(1) and bathroom(2), the front room(3) for leisure, a living room(4) for the family, the guest room(5) and the kitchen(6). The kitchen was by far the biggest, it also had half a dining room and part of a living room inside. The upstairs was also basic, four bedrooms and a bathroom.
Both boys entered and took of their shoes off and picked them up, they walked through the room and got into the hallway they placed their shoes in the shoe rack and when went into the kitchen. Oga headed straight for the fridge and took out a cold bottle of water, Furuichi took a seat on the dining table and was skimming though both of his phones.
"Oga you got some skinheads on your tail now as well, they don't seem to have liked the beating you gave to them just now. There's also something… HA HA HA it says here some Child Rearing Bastard has shown fatherly affection to the Violent Monks of Sezonin in form of a good spanking. They will not let this down lightly."
"Tell them to join the que for daddy's belt, there're nothing compared to this brat." Oga said in an annoyed voice.
"DAH BUUUU AHHHH!" Beel raised his fist in the air as if he understood what Oga was saying.
"Well I need to use the bathroom soooo if you don't mind I'm just going excuse mys….." Furuichi made a dash to the door but was called back by Oga.
"Use the one downstairs, if that bitch wakes up she's more than likely going to be in a mood and plus I think my sisters shampoo is also there just go sniff that or something."
"What sort of fiend do you take me for? I'm not some sort of pervert."
"Furuichi you used to sneak a sniff of my sisters room when you thought I wasn't looking, plus that time I saw you staring at the toothbrushes with drool down your face. I don't think you're a pervert I know you're a Creep-ichi." Oga said this without even making eye contact, he just took another swing of his water.
"W..W..WH..WHAT that never happened I was just looking for … NEVERMIND!" He quickly ended his sentence not wanting to further humiliate himself.
"Well Misaki fine with you and thinks of you as a funny pervert while Kahori has labelled you as a disgusting piece of trash." Oga said those statement with no problem as if they were everyday conversations.
"I'm a normal teenage boy going through puberty; there is nothing wrong with looking at girls. I'm no different from you or any other guy, we all wake up in the morning with might between our legs."
"I've seen what's between your legs before and it's certainly not MIGHT."
"You promised not to bring that up! It was humiliating then and it's even more humiliating now!" Furuichi yelled with a bright red face. "I lost all my dignity that day!"
"You cried for twice." Oga added which made Furuichi even redder.
"I was surrounded by hot older girls with my pants around my legs! It was like five years ago, can you please just let it go!" Furuichi pleaded with his hands clasped together. "Please tell me Misaki never said anything even after I begged her and everybody there never to speak of it."
"Er..rrrrr… I think so." Oga said, "I remember you cried again after that as well." Oga gave a small hearty laugh as them memory returned to him.
"STOP IT! I WANTED TO DIE!" Furuichi rolled around on the floor with his hands over his ears.
"OK, OK just keep it down that woman still sleeping. One demon is hard enough to take care of." Oga dismissed the previous topic and moved to the current issue at hand.
"Are you sure?" Furuichi regained some of his composure while on his hands and knees. "How do you know? Have you checked upstairs? Peeked in all the rooms? Checked if her boots are anywhere? Had a look under the blanket? Leave it to me I'll go check." Furuichi made his way to the door once again to continue on his mission and hide his earlier embarrassment.
"Rest in pieces." Oga called out behind him and jumped over the sofa to sit down and watch TV. He turned on the TV and started channel hopping to see if anything good was on, Beel seemed to enjoy this type of new entertainment and sat there quietly.
Furuichi prepared himself for the delusion of stepping into the world of adulthood, however he got a phone call before he could even exit the room. Taking one of his phones out of his pockets he flipped it open.
"Hello mom?" Furuichi answered and Oga saw him as if he was having a conversation with himself.
"Do you mean now?"
"I'm at Tatsumi's house."
"No I can't bring the baby."
"WAIT! They're going to start rebuilding today?"
"But it's late in the afternoon."
"That makes sense."
"Did you go in my room?"
"OK I'll see the worker inside so you don't worry."
"You can visit them on the weekend."
"Bye."
Furuichi flipped his phone down and sighed.
"Oga I got to go, the construction workers are going to be at home soon and I need to hide all the errrrm… stuff in my room." Furuichi fidgeted as he explained the reasoning to Oga. "Hey Oga we're best friends soo…"
"I'm not hiding your porn in my house." Oga replied before Furuichi could finish his request.
"Please I need your help."
"You can hide it somewhere in your own house, there's plenty of room for a few books."
"Listen…" Furuichi came really close to Oga's ear and was barely audible, "…there isn't just a few books, there's items, pictures, videos, contraception and a you know."
"What's a YOU KNOW?" Asked Oga.
"You know a product name that is aimed at children but a different item that is classified to adults." Furuichi said the last words so quietly that Oga had to get even closer.
"Really…?" Oga asked and sighed knowing the answer. He looked down to Beel to see the child's eyes glued to the screen, the channel was doing reruns of some anime about rice. Beel seemed really into it so Oga left him be.
"Please Oga…" Furuichi was begging with sweat dropping from his forehead, he was panicking.
"Fine if you can get it out your house and in the shed without anybody noticing consider it done. You owe me big for this and wash your hands when you're done."
"Thankyou I'll be back in an hour."
"Take the shed key idiot, it's somewhere in the kitchen cabinet and when you comeback don't make too much noise, and stay away from the places we just went through."
Furuichi went around to the kitchen cupboards noisily, he was rushing to find the key.
"OK got it, I'm heading out Oga I'll see you in a bit and thank a lot." Furuichi said as he exited through the guest room again.
Oga heard the doors slam and smirked, like hell he would just let Furuichi owe him one. This was golden blackmail material and he was going to use it to the fullest. He did however have to give Furuichi credit, being able to still idolise woman after being humiliated while surrounded by woman laughing must have a lot of will power or just stupid pervyness. Seeing as Beel was still attached to the TV, he laid down on the sofa and placed the baby on his stomach.
Taking a look at the time on the TV Oga realised it was only around two p.m, he however felt extremely exhausted. Looking after a kid was no easy task, he had barley done anything at all other than carry the kid around. Oga closed his eyes to try and get some rest, he was not going to go to sleep but rather just gain some of the lost energy back.
Only now realising that the TV was on mute, Oga picked up the remote and increased the volume. Beel had an automatic response by slapping his tiny fists on his daddy's stomach. Anyone one would have found it very cute looking but Oga only saw it as an annoyance.
As Oga passed a lot of the time lazily, he was about to doze off but then unexpectedly the phone started ringing. Being the lazy person he is he ignored it, until Beel got annoyed and started making a racket.
"Ok brat ill pick up the phone." Oga answered the phone that was right next to him, "Hello."
"Tatsumi you're back early, did you miss Hilda-chan that much you skipped school?" It was his older sister Misaki on the other end teasing him, Oga could also here the rustle of people behind her.
"Shut up I'm tired from looking after this kid, the woman you lot so adore dumped his ass on me." Tatsumi was not in the mood for a fight, well not really in the mood for anything just lazy.
"Well you should have thought about it before you did the deed, put mom on the phone I need to talk to her."
"She's out shopping, that greedy woman ate everything we had."
"Don't badmouth her!" Misaki snapped at Tatsumi's comment about Hilda, to which he put more distance between the phone and his ear, "So it's just you and her alone under one roof with your child, don't try and make another…" Misaki laughed.
"I'm hanging up.."
"Wait wait wait… tell mom I'm coming home late today, going to meet up with some old Red Tail members. I can't wait to tell them about Beel and Hilda-chan."
"Yer yer…" As he responded to his sister he heard a few more female voices from the phone.
"Misaki come let's go to my dorm room and get ready for this evening." A high pitched female voice with a foreign accent was heard.
"Are you on the phone to your younger brother? The one that just had the kid? Let me ask him your sister in law's breasts are as big as you say." This voice was from a different female and it sounded as if she was trying to get the phone of Misaki by force.
"Anyway Tatsumi I'm going to go now, by the way you and Taka-chin were also invited to the meet up…"
"Nope." Tatsumi cut of his sister and ended the call, he would get an earful when she got home but he did not care. Putting the phone back on the table he picked up the remote instead. Furuichi really was not ready to meet those women after the show he just gave.
Going back to shutting his eyes he was disturbed once again, this time it was by one sweat heavy, panting teen.
"AO…AL…ALL…D…U..U..UUU…DONE!" Furuichi was out having trouble standing up and fell on to the floor. Oga continued to ignore him and closed his eyes again but Furuichi carried on after he caught his breath.
"I stashed them in the back corner behind the broken bike and paint cans. I bused it home, quickly picked up the prepacked sensitive items and biked it here."
"Fear really is a good motivator, you were able to do all that under an hour." Oga was balancing the remote control on his forehead out of boredom.
"Well I need to go back and wait for the workers, the foundations of my house need repairing." Furuichi walked over towards the fridge and picked up a sports drink. "This is all your fault anyway, if you hadn't have bought that kid to my house I would be a better man."
While Furuichi was rambling on the phone rang yet again, Oga did not really want to answer it but Beel would then throw a fit. Exhaling heavily he extended his arm behind his head so it would reach the phone on the small table left of the sofa.
"Hello." Oga replied with the remote control still on his forehead.
"Tatsumi you came back early?" The person on the phone was his younger sister Kahori, he could also hear the noise of chairs scrapping the floor and a school bell.
"Yer."
"Give the phone to mom I need to talk to her." She sort of demanded this in an arrogant tone.
"She's not here."
"Really? When will she be back?"
"Don't know."
"I need to ask her if Honoka can stay the night, she has to share a room with her parents and she finds it awkward."
"Whatever…" He spoke but was then interrupted by Furuichi.
"Is that Kahori on the phone?" Furuichi asked excitedly.
"Is that creep here?" Kahori started asking after hearing Furuichi's voice, "Tell him not to go in my room or better yet not to go upstairs at all. I saw him once looking into my room with drool on his face."
"Furuichi don't you have to go home?" Tatsumi asked trying to get him to leave.
"Well in a bit…" Furuichi wanted to stay a bit longer and see if he could sneak a peek at Hilda but Tatsumi wanted some peace.
"Hey Kahori tell Honoka that in Furuichi's room…" Tatsumi was not going to tell the two younger sisters about the content of one perverts room but lead Furuichi to believe it.
"OK I'M GOING!" Furuichi yelled and left the room.
"He's gone and I'll tell mom about Honoka."
"Alright but as soon as mom comes home tell her to phone me."
"Sure."
"Bye."
Oga just hung up without saying a proper good bye. He tilted his head to look at the time and the remote fell on the floor, this accidently changed the channel and the batteries came out of the controller.
Beel was not impressed his glorious show that he was watched was changed over to something about he did not know and had no interest in, looking at his father to change it back he got all teary eyed.
Oga realised the channel had changed and sat up to pick up the controller, as he tried pressing the buttons without knowing the batteries had fallen out Beel got agitated and started to cry. Both man and child were stuck with the deadly electricity but only one felt pain. Oga got up when the lightning calmed down, he realised that the kid was going to cry again so he quickly went to the TV stand and hit a button on the channel receiver. This put the channel back on the anime Beel was watching and he got into a happy mood once again.
Oga just sat back down on to the sofa with his head dangling back, he was getting used to this and that was not a good thing. His ears however picked up the sound of the front door being opened, him and Furuichi had only used the one at the other end of the house.
He heard footsteps coming and when they opened the kitchen door it was his mother.
"Tatsumi you're home? Oh has Beel been a good boy today?" His mother came up to him and started to flaunt over the baby.
Shouko Oga was middle age woman with three children, she had short brown hair with a few greys visible and black eyes. She was of normal height but both her children had grown taller than her and the third slowly catching up. She had a motherly aura around her and a gentle tone, but when she wanted to be firm she had no problem executing the task.
Currently she was standing with multiple bags in both her hands and a tired looking complexion; she placed the bags down on the dining table and came to her son.
"Tatsumi can you be dear and bring in the rest of the shopping? The taxi is waiting with all the rest of the bags." She asked as she took a seat next to him. Tatsumi questioned his mother on the exact location of the taxi.
"How far is it parked?"
"Right in front of the gate."
"Alright I'll do it but stay here and hold Beel, don't get up at all, don't move Beel too much keep him on your lap, don't change the channel, don't bring up I'm gone and don't make him cry." Tatsumi told his mother the details, all she did was smile.
"Don't worry Tatsumi I've raised three children so I can handle one more."
He dashed to the front door and did not even stop to put on his shoes, only in his socks he exited the house and saw the taxi in front of him with the driver having a smoke while leaning on the bonnet.
"Hey mister the meter is still run…" The taxi driver was a slightly tanned man with a strong build.
"SHUT UP!" Oga roared and the driver physically jumped to attention and straightened up.
Oga went around to the back of the taxi to the open car boot. There were at lease twelve bags in there and Oga could not afford to waste time on trivial matters when his live was on the line. Grabbing all the bags with one hand he quickly slammed the door shut and made his way back to the entrance of his house.
"Sir the fee of s…" The driver stood still and asked for the money to which he was owed for escorting one lovely lady.
"HERE!" Oga threw all the money in his pocket with his free hand on to the passenger seat, the window was open and some went in and some fell on to the floor. The notes were made out of paper so their trajectory was hard to calculate.
Tatsumi got in and shut the door with his foot and ran back into the kitchen, he was relieved to see that the baby was still interested in the anime and his mother had not moved. He dropped the bags on the floor near the table and sat next to his mother on the sofa.
"All done, is that all food to feed the monster upstairs?" Tatsumi questioned.
"That's rude, I bought Hilda and Beel a few things to keep them going. Tatsumi have Beel take nap."
"No he doesn't need one, look he's fine." He commented on the child's looks just look just as Beel yawned while still somehow keeping the green pacifier in his mouth. "He's watching TV so he'll doze off when he feel likes it, anyway Misaki phoned saying she was going to come late because she's going to meet up with some old friends and Kahori phoned asking if Furuichi's sister can stay over. You should call her back."
"That's not the right way for a baby to sleep it's quite unhealthy, a routine should be made and followed for sufficient sleep for healthy growth."
His mother placed Beel on his lap and stood up to get the phone, she walked over to the kitchen and started entering the buttons. As his mother did her thing, Beel gave off another yawn and Tatsumi ignored it again.
Another sound was heard from the hallway and it seemed to be someone walking down the stairs, they came down and headed for the kitchen. The person who opened the door was Hilda who looked as if she had just woken up. Her silky hair was undone and flowing down her back, she definitely had bed hair on her right side but she still kept a fringe to cover her left eye.
She was wearing a pink two piece pyjama set, the pants cuffed above the ankle and the top was also cuffed at the top of the arm near the shoulder which exposed her whole arms. The top however did not cover all her abdomen, some skin was viable but she wore a shawl type thing over the top. This was most likely due to her bust, because she was bigger than any other female in the Oga household the top buttons could not be closed hence the reason why the pyjama top had shortcoming.
Clearly the shawl was there to cover her cleavage and keep her modesty, she was wearing soft looking, pink fluffy slippers on her bare feet. Tatsumi's attention was caught by her complexion, she still had a small bag under her eye and he also saw sleep in her one visible eye. There was also a minute amount of dried drool in the right corner of her mouth, she also looked clean of all previous marks of their fight and Beel's crying.
She made a direct line towards both boys and sat next to them, Tatsumi nostrils could definitely smell his sister's shampoo on her but for some reason it made a more potent smell when coming from the blond.
She picked up the child immediately and embraced him with a smile on her face, Tatsumi was relieved that the child was gone from his lap. Beel also felt happy being put on a familiar lap but carried on watching TV.
"Young master I missed you, did you have a good time? Where you hurt?" Hilda started questioning the child to which the baby replied with his usual incomprehensible nonsense. Tatsumi was making a move to leave but was stopped by Hilda.
"The young master cried just now, no? It was that reason I woke up." She had a stern voice and locked eyes with him.
"Yep it was the third time today and it's real annoying." Tatsumi replied and once again tried getting away but only to be carried on being belittled by Hilda.
"Fool I trusted the young master to you and you could not even look after him properly, look at him. He is tired and you just carry on sitting there."
"Hey he had a nap earlier, he fell asleep on his own when I walked to school."
"Yes more than likely he was bored, unfortunately he is currently addicted to this type of entertainment and will not properly fall asleep."
"Well get him off there and make sure he doesn't have a hissy fit, I'm going to shower and take a nap." He stretched his arms above his head and stood up.
"Use the shower downstairs as the one upstairs is too far, you'll make the master cry."
"I've been meaning to ask about that, I've left the sight of the brat a few times but he didn't wail what's up with that?"
"Clearly I was mistaken with my first analysis, if the young master realises you are not near him then he will cry."
.
.
.
"Just put the stupid brat to bed." Tatsumi left the room and heard his mother start talking to Hilda. He walked up the stairs and went to his room to find it messier than he had left it, some of the books on the shelves were on the floor and an array of female clothing on his bed.
Going towards his wardrobe he pulled out a t-shirt and shorts, he was about head to the bed and throw his blazer down but then,
"AHHHHHHhhhhhhh!" Tatsumi yelled as he felt very painful electricity course through his body.
"Tatsumi are you alright!?" The Oga household's matriarch called out to her son from downstairs.
Oga quickly got up and ran downstairs with clothes in hand. Seeing his mother with a questioning expression he answered her.
"Fine, I errr… stubbed my toe." He lied as he walked past his mother.
He went in the kitchen to see what was going on, he saw the woman and child in the corner and she also looked as if she had been hit by lightning. The child was being rocked with a bottle in his mouth.
"What happened then?" Tatsumi asked in an alarmed state.
"Quiet fool the master is trying to sleep, it was your mistake anyway." Hilda explained in a hushed tone. "Have I not explained what happens if you go more than fifteen metres away from the young master?"
"Wait that was fifteen metres? All I did was go to my room."
"Clearly you are as stupid as you look, I told you to use the shower downstairs. This residence exceeds the parameters of you and the young master, my suggestions are you stay within two room lengths when the young master is not with you and then do what you must when you two are together."
"That sounds more of an order than a request."
"I never want to see the young master cry and if you have realised it yet those around will be affected as well, you were lucky our esteemed mother was not near us when young master cried."
"Wait OUR ESTEEMED MOTHER? Who do you think you are in this house?"
"I was requested to call the lady in charge by that name."
"Stop picking up all the weird things from those magazines."
"Fool I'm integrating into this culture with limited knowledge."
"Anyway what am I supposed to do now?"
"Go take a shower in the downstairs…"
"No I mean bringing my family into danger, what if Beel blows a gasket or I accidently walk too far. This really did hit me now but what if my family get dragged in."
"All we can do is try our best." Hilda locked her eye with the both of Tatsumi's and cradled the sleeping baby.
"Fine." Tatsumi left it as that and walked out of the kitchen not looking back. He proceeded forward towards the bathroom with a heavy mind, the future of him daunting on his consciousness. He thought about how it was their mission to bring about the destruction of this world, a child who could not even stand up was meant to be the antagonist of humankind.
Taking of his clothes and putting them on the shelves he looked around only to find no towel, he left it back in his room but he could not get it now. Stepping into the white tiled room he sat down on a cream coloured stool and turned on the shower, the cold water hit his face with pressure only for the water to get warmer and with a more gentler stream.
Washing his hair he thought about how this was his third shower in one day, lightening really does a number on you. Soaping his body up with some body wash, he looked at his naked body in the mirror. The marks from this morning where not there anymore but the red patches were slightly visible, looking down at his hand he saw the healed scar from the woman sword.
He only remembered now he was penetrated by that sword during their fight. Rinsing his body down with water he exited the shower and was now standing in the dressing room. Having no towel he just put on the clothes over his wet body and ruffled his hair to get as much water out, he also rubbed his feet on the mat to dry his feet.
He leaned up again the sink and looked at his face in the mirror, he eyes were red to the point of bloodshot and he still had a few scrapes and bruises on his cheeks. He made himself presentable before exiting the dressing room.
Opening the door he looked in the hallway to see if anyone was there, feeling he was in the clear he went to the kitchen to see his mother was sorting out the shopping and Hilda was holding Beel on the sofa. The television was on but on mute however there were subtitles on to which Hilda was reading.
Tatsumi peered over to see what she was watching and it was a soap opera, he saw that the content of the show was about two sisters wanting their father's inheritance. He wondered whether or not he should disturb her, she was holding Beel in her lap with his head on her right arm and her other over his body. There was also a pillow under her right arm and she was also leaning surprisingly forward for a big TV, probably to read the subtitles.
"Hey Hilda I need to talk…" Tatsumi tried to get the blond woman's attention but he was dismissed with the flick of her wrist in a shooing motion. Getting annoyed he was about to start a fight with her but his mother intervened.
"Tatsumi come have look at this." His mother was holding up a white long sleeved top with a pair of light blue Jeans. "What do you think Tatsumi? Will Hilda look better in these or with these boots and those leggings with that long top and belt?"
"I don't give a crap! Ask her." He retorted and looked for something to eat in the bags but found nothing consume worthy.
"Hilda-chan which one do you prefer? Oh is that new episode of City Affairs." The two women were now both seated on the sofa with their eyes glued to the Television. Shouko Oga was diligently explaining the backstory of the show while Hilda was adding her own verdict and questions.
"See that woman there, she is the biological mother of the young boy and currently married to the hotel owner." Mother Oga pointed to the woman on the screen.
"Did she not just try and copulate with the young boy's friend?" Hilda pointed out her query to the other woman.
"That was only to get on the same level as the sisters who want their father's money. You see the boy's friend is actually an illegitimate child of the father and even though he only said he would give the money to his daughters the lawyer, who is also the rich father's best friend has seen many loopholes within the contract. The lawyer has been giving some people the contract detail and the cheating woman heard that if the illegitimate child can get married and re-enter the household they will be placed back into the running of getting the inheritance, she figured out this by sleeping with the lawyer and drugging the boss of the illegitimate child when her husband said they will be having a conference meeting in the hotel."
"Interesting… but she is already married with the hotel owner how will she get into the rich household of the dying father?"
"We don't know just yet but it seems that she intends to divorce him at the right time and get half his assets and money, she's befriended the hotel owners ex-wife and obtained strands of hair from the daughter born form the hotel owner and ex-wife."
"But did they not say that the owner has no child!"
"Yes he does not know he has a child because she was well hidden, the ex-wife's plan was to let the child grow up until she could then get everything her father owned. The other part of the plan was to get rid of the current wife of the hotel owner."
"That means then…"
"Exactly the ex-wife knew who the lady was and had a plan to go around her plan because the ex-wife has also been sleeping with the lawyer, and her daughter is currently in a secret non-platonic relationship with her best friend who is… one of the rich father's daughter."
"This type of scenario is impossible but yet I am so absorbed into it, I want to know what happens next." Hilda's eye gleamed as she stated her current mood.
"That's not all, from my theory I think the cheating woman will try and pin her husband with cheating on her with his own unknown daughter! The hair will be a trap that ways she will be able to get closer to the rich family and knock out some competition while placing the ex-wife in a disadvantageous position." The Oga mother slowly nodded her head as she explained in detail.
Both women were discussing their ideologies about what would happen while Tatsumi waited at the dining room table. He wanted to discuss a few things with Hilda but clearly it was not the time at the moment. Glancing at the clock it was already four o'clock, time sure went fast when he wasn't looking after the baby. He yawned and stretched his arms above his head, being tired he really wanted to sleep but knew he had to stay in the room with the child.
At that point in time the doorbell started ringing, Tatsumi looked towards the two women who were on the sofa to see if they had realised the new noise. His mother had noticed and gave him a look to go get the door, the blonde one just sat there with her one visible eyed glued to the Television.
Tatsumi stood up and heading to the door, opening it without looking into the keyhole he saw his little sister with the youngest member of the Furuichi family standing on the other side of the gate. He was sure she said she was going to come late but from the suitcase and extra member there was a change of plans.
"Told you he would come and pick up the luggage." Kahori boasted about her intuition, "Let's go inside Honoka, Tatsumi will bring your bags in."
Clearly Tatsumi was pissed with being the bag boy but he did not let that show, he slowly closed the door and made his way back inside without letting the two girls in.
"Hey get back here!" He could hear his sister shouting from the other side of the door but he ignored it.
When he got back in the kitchen his mother asked him who was at the door, Tatsumi replied with,
"A newspaper salesman."
The sound of the front door being open was heard with footsteps and something being dragged. The identities of these sounds entered the kitchen and they were not in a happy mood.
"You could have helped us and why did you close the door on us?" Kahori shouted at Tatsumi with an angry expression.
Kahori was a twelve year old going thirteen; she had long straight black hair that flowed down to her waist. In the Oga family she was the only one to have inhered black hair amongst the females, she was also the only one to grow it out long. She also had a fringe of hair to cover up her forehead on the basis of insecurities, she was worried she would be made fun off because she had a slightly enlarged forehead to which only she could see.
Her height was shorter than average but tried to make up with it by acting adult like in certain situations, this made here very cute to which a lot of people told her which made her angry and even cuter.
She had gone down a different route than the other two children of the Oga family, she wanted to be a citizen of the law who upheld values and morals. Not wanting to be affiliated with anything bad she distanced herself from her family slightly and a lot from her elder brother.
Tatsumi in fact did not mind this but embraced this decision, his weak and slightly naïve younger sister was best left alone because there were people out to get him and he did not want her to get involved.
Currently her mood was in a foul state after being ignored and rejected. She came in shouting and clearly she did not know that Beel was sleeping, Tatsumi however updated her on the situation.
"Shut up brat, can't you see that the baby is asleep?" He laid it out to her so she could come off from that high horse of hers. She then looked around and saw that the green haired boy was indeed sleeping and she was fuelled by her anger than being in a rational attitude.
"Sorry…" Kahori muttered these words quietly in an awkward tone. Clearly she felt embarrassed with Tatsumi's and Honoka's eyes on her as if they were secretly judging her. The tension was released thanks to Kahori's best friend coming to the rescue.
"So is that baby Beel? She must be Hilda-san…." Honoka stopped her questioning midway when her attention was caught by the blonde woman, rather than the blonde woman herself the two mountains that resided on her chest. Clear shock was written on the face of the girl as her eyes were glued to the breasts. "Hey Kahori-chan you never said anything about… those."
"I didn't want to." Kahori muttered as she looked down towards her own chest that could hardly be called womanly. Both girls snapped out their dazed states and proceeded towards the sofa, going around and getting close to Hilda both girls looked down towards the sleeping child and ran commentary.
"Wow he really is cute naked." Honoka assured herself from what information she had gotten from her friend.
"Yes he is, we need to go shopping one day and pick him up some cuter clothes, I'm thinking something to match his green hair."
Hilda was too intrigued into the TV and did not see the newcomers, Honoka and Kahori both tried to talk to Hilda but were ignored. The mother of the Oga household saw that her daughter was home and said hi.
"Kahori welcome home and Honoka its good to see you. I'm sorry but we don't have a spare bed anymore but I can lay a futon out for you, do you want it in Kahori's room or do the both of you want to sleep in the spacious living room?"
"We want to set it up in my room, come Honoka lets go I'll show you my new lap top I got for my birthday." Both girls exited the room and ran upstairs.
"I can video call you from my tablet now." Honoka added her happiness to the acquired item.
Tatsumi was now bored and Hilda had no motivation to leave that seat with the Television in front of her and the baby in her lap. He got up and walked over to the door, he was tired and a nap was the only thing on his mind. Exiting the room he made his way to the left of the hallway towards the entrance and walked into the first room on the left of the house.
This was the front room where his father spent most of his free time, it was sort of a miniature office with there being a lot of books on two book shelves, a desk in the corner facing the rest of the room to imply privacy. The window was on the right side of the room from the door and a television right in front. There was also a filing cabinets next to the desk and a computer on top.
A conveniently placed sofa was behind the door that looked really comfy to which Tatsumi was relieved to see. Closing the door he dropped down on the sofa and positioned himself to a suited spot. Looking around the room he saw pictures of his family in the earlier years, surprisingly there were none of him when he was a baby and very little when he was a toddler. He thought to himself about him not being a picture taking type of guy but his older sister in nearly all of her pictures was posing, there was probably a reason why she chose media studies as a subject in university. Misaki was into all the latest gossip and fashion along with what music and videos were currently viral along with what was society into these days.
He closed his eyes and started to drift to sleep quite quickly, he was asleep but then instantly he was awoken by someone shouting his name really loudly.
"Tatsumi wake up!" Misaki was towering above him, yelling at him with Beel in her arms and looked as if she was in a pissed off mod.
Misaki Oga was the oldest of the three siblings, she had short brown hair that reached to her shoulders. She was nearly always a boisterous person who let nothing get her down, she cared deeply for family especially her two younger siblings. Being the oldest she automatically thought she had the power of authority over the household to which she could command anyone younger than her.
Currently her attire was short shorts that showed of nearly all her bare legs from upper thigh to toes. She was wearing an orange tank top that only covered up to her bellybutton. She rocked the awake child in her arms while yelling at her brother.
"Get up idiot, everyone was looking for you."
"Wait what time is it?" Tatsumi rubbed his eyes and slowly got up from a nap where he felt like he never even went to sleep.
"It's six thirty and dinners going to be ready soon, we've got some guests over and Hilda-chan told you to look after baby Beel." She handed the child towards the sleepy Tatsumi.
"It was just four when I went to sleep and it's already half six, when did that happen?" Tatsumi asked in confusion.
"Dunno?" Misaki replied and left the room.
"Can't even let me sleep brat." Tatsumi looked down to Beel feeling really annoyed.
"Dah ah ah ah BUU" Beel replied with his fist reaching out to Tatsumi's face.
Tatsumi got up, his body felt no different from when he when tot sleep, it's as if his body stayed awake while his mind was switched off. Exiting the room he made headway to the kitchen to drink something, he could hear multiple female voices from inside and he did not recognise all of them.
Entering he saw three girls sitting at the dining table and another two were on the sofa next to Misaki. All of them were around Misaki's age, with sullen facial expressions and some off the girls drinking alcohol it was not something he wished to confine himself with.
As Tatsumi was about to exit the room he collided with an unknown redheaded girl who was rubbing a towel over her wet hair and was wearing a cream coloured bath robe. Clearly she had just gotten out the shower, her face was still slightly wet, her eyes red and steam was being emitted from her body.
Both looked at each other and tried to get out the way, the lady however stopped him and recognised who he was.
"Is that you Tatsumi? Yes it is, it's been a while right? Wait… is that baby Beel your new son?" She squealed excitedly which bought about the attention of all the other girls in the kitchen. Not wanting to be involved with the girl he did recognise but somehow she knew him, Tatsumi really wanted to get out of there.
Trying to get past, Beel was somehow taken from his hands and was now in Misaki's hands.
"See this girls, this is my nephew Beel." Misaki proudly boasted about the child. Tatsumi was confused, one minuet she was moody the next all giddy. To this Tatsumi deduced that his sister had also been drinking, she was not a very good drinker and even worse when drunk. A little bit and she would slowly loose her rational thinking and sometimes violently attack him.
"Hey what's up with you? Weren't you meant to be coming home late?" He asked his sister as he tried to reach out for the child.
"Oh shut up!" His sister retorted while avoiding Tatsumi's hand and showing Beel the girls behind her.
"Tatsumi be a good little brother and don't bring up the subject again." One of the girls spoke up on behalf of his sister and warned him about the sensitive agenda. He recognised the girl as she was one of Misaki's close friends, she used to always be with her and Tatsumi saw her many times on the party they used to go to.
"Well I'm out of condolences so don't try and take your disappointment out on me, and give me that damn brat back!" Tatsumi gained all the attention of every girl as he stated his demands.
"Well if you must know the meeting of the EX-Red Tails did not happen." The girl to talk up now was an outstanding beauty who was dressed in an astonishing kimono. "Unfortunately the place I had booked was closed, even though I had made very early reservations all to surprise our leader Misaki-chan." They all looked annoyed at the rehash of the story.
She carried on, "The reason being was that the recent turn of events had cut all power to that area hence the place was closed. We tried arguing and also coming to a settlement but to no anvil, we were not allowed in because of health and safety reasons."
"These health and safety issues…" Tatsumi asked about this.
"Yes the places is under health and safety about not electricity no business but also if the staff feel threatened they may decline."
"Don't tell me…"
"We left the building after calling for ambulances for all twenty seven staff members." The kimono girl finished off their story. "It is my fault our leader did not get to have a fulfilling evening we all so desired."
"Don't worry at all Haruka-CHAAAAN." Misaki reassured her with an arm around her, "We will get the scumbags who stole that electricity pylon if it's the last thing we do. Even we never accomplished or even thought of doing something that absurd."
"We're going to have a hard time finding the assholes that did it." A purple haired girl with red eyes spoke up, "There are like fifteen different divisions claiming responsibility, what's even more surprising is that people form outside japan are saying it was them and they are declaring war on the world. The really interesting thing is the insignia that was burned in the rock was of unknown origins."
Tatsumi stood there quietly trying to comprehend the talk that was going on. His little scuffle with Hilda had gotten out of hand yesterday which involved the demon king's child. He really did not expect that much fuss over an annihilated electricity tower. He wanted to get out of this situation and the saviour that rescued him was his mother, descending the stairs she spoke to Tatsumi.
"Tatsumi, Hilda-chan is calling for you. Something about speaking to you about a private matter." His mother used a sweet voice to call out to him and had a small grin.
"The lady requests a private rendezvous with the man who gave the child." One of the girls spoke up and the rest laughed.
"Now now Tatsumi it is rude to keep a lady waiting." The kimono girl spoke up and gave Beel to him.
"I want to listen in and see what they are going to talk about." The redhead that had just got out the shower stated her needs to know.
"Just leave me alone and go away." Tatsumi barged past the girls and headed upstairs. All the girls around him jeered him on.
"Good luck Romeo." Misaki called out to him and lead her group back into the kitchen. "Come on girls, let's eat ice-cream mixed with booze!"
Tatsumi got upstairs and walked down the hallway till he got to his room, seeing it open he entered and saw Hilda in a different attire now. She had exchanged the borrowed pyjamas for a brand new night gown that actually fitted her. It was a peach coloured article that reached to her feet and covered up to her elbows, her breasts were no longer exposed. She was currently seated on the floor in front of the TV and leaning on the bed. She had a brush in one hand and her golden locks in the other, she combed her hair with the help of her reflection from the TV. When realising Tatsumi and Beel had entered the room she put down the hair brush and put her hands out in indicate she wanted to hold Beel.
"Stop getting hairs on my bed." Tatsumi had a look over to his bed to see that the collection of clothes from earlier had grown and yellow strands of hair were now littered on there. He would have started to yell at her to release some pent up anger but decided not to because he was tired.
"Never mind that, we have much to discuss." She ignored his words that normally ticked her off and put on a serious face. "From my information gathering it seems to me that you and the young master have started to bond well." Tatsumi sat down next to her and also leaned against the bed, she continued. "The battle you had on your school roof where the master was able to call out his power was really surprising. To be able to do that while the young master was not heightened by the extremities of emotions is remarkable, well done young master you are amazing."
"Wait where are you getting all this information from? I've had a feeling someone had been watching my every move since school but you were in bed… right?" Tatsumi questioned.
"Never mind the details and just listen." Hilda snapped at him for the interruption. "You later entertained the young master like the slave you are, only to then make him cry. You need to start taking better care of the young master. Then there were your numerous scuffles and encounters with others to which you made quick work off."
(FLASHBACK)
"Oi Furuichi stop running the wrong way!" Oga yelled to his best friend who skipped through a back alleyway, the shorter teen thought it was a short cut to the house that held his sleeping beauty but he was wrong. He was leading the both of them further away from their destination and into something the silver haired boy could not handle.
As Furuichi turned a corner he bumped into a very muscular man with no hair, this man also had multiple scars on the top of his head and a nasty snarl.
"What the hell do you think you're doing bastard!" A short bold dwarf came from around the man with a cigar in his hand. This person was hilarious to look at, lucky Furuichi knew what type of situation he was in and kept his mouth closed. From the looks of things Furuichi deciphered that the short fat guy was running the shots around here as more bold headed men started to gather around.
"Show this little dick head what happens when he messes with us?" The shorty pointed his finger at the silver haired teen and stated to back away, the other men slowly closed in on their prey. When one man's fingers were millimetres away from Furuichi some black blur went over his head and the bold delinquents were thrown all over the place.
"Get up and run idiot." It was Oga standing in front of Furuichi shouting these words. With a single flying kick he was able to bury the first delinquent and scatter the rest of them. "Your idiotic brain had taken God knows where and you're just running around without looking ahead of yourself."
"My bad Oga." Furuichi muttered as he got up, "I thought this was a short cut."
"Hell no idiot." Oga's insult did nothing as Furuichi played ignorance here, he knew that this was no short cut but rather he did it for his best friend. The child might have cried and he did not want to be anywhere near that painful catastrophe, so he knowingly passed through an area that was full of delinquents that would surely keep Beel entertained at the expense of Oga.
As Furuichi got up the shorty baldy leader was backing up against a wall trying to find a way out, he had just witnesses his crew be flung around like ragdolls and did not want to be at the end of the wrath of one black haired teen carrying a baby on his back. Seeing an exit he made a dash for it, he was going to get back-up in the form of more men.
He himself was no fighter, his older brother had run this gang and only because his family had money did the younger brother get to be a leader. There just outside the alleyway were more men all in grey uniforms that identified them as who they were. The short man ran to them heavily out of breath and started diving commands.
"You lot…. get your asses… over …. Inside near… some guy… beat…!" A proper sentence could not be strung together due to the oxygen deficit. However all the men looked at each other and then stated to slowly walk past their boss in silence.
"Fuck em up real BLEGGGGGGGCHCHCAH!" A sudden knee was planted into to short man's stomach as his insides were vented through his mouth.
"Listen here you useless piece of shit!" A Bold man with sunglasses walked out in front of the vomiting degenerate and crouched down in front of him. "All you ever do is run your mouth and legs and never raise your fists. We own this place now, your brother is gone and you are just shitting on his legacy. So from now on you will be bringing money every month and then getting the fuck out of here." The last bit was said viciously and with a knife pointed out to the short man.
Everyone around started to laugh and they made their way towards the directed zone. The Bold man in sunglass took lead and did not look back.
"Let's go and beat the living shit out of these fools that think they can mess with MY BOYS." He stated loudly his commitment so the former boss who was swimming in his vomit could hear.
"Phone in all the other boys and lets have our welcome party for our new boss." A much skinner man who was also bold stepped forward and issued this command, he also pulled out a box and handed it to the new boss. "Boss a gift to you form our founding leader."
As the new boss went and opened up the box he was presented with knuckle-dusters. Silver weapons that gave a much harder punch, these bad boys could crack open a skull. Another thing in the box was a think money envelope, it had a label saying support funds. A grin was placed on the man's face.
"Well then men." The man with the shades spoke up. "Lets us all get together and christen this gift with the blood of the enemies… we the Sezonin Monks."
With Furuichi and Oga was no better. Both boys were currently lost in this maze of dark alleyways being overshadowed by tall buildings and apartment blocks. Furuichi was regretting his decision to come here but carried on following Oga.
"I think we've been her twice now?" Furuichi muttered the statement as a question trying to find the exit.
"Let's just head back from where we came from and head back to the riverbank, from there we can get home then." Oga stopped walking and turned around, "Beel is getting fidgety and we can catch a bus or something now I've got funds." Oga flashed the money he had robbed from the battle with the bold boys.
"That sounds like a plan but we still need to get out of here." Furuichi was tapping the screen on his smart phone trying to find a way out using a digital map. "Crap… there is barely any signal in this this area." Both boys retraced their steps back, only going the wrong way a few times until they met up with unconscious bodies littering the pathway many minuets latter.
"Hey we made it back." A joyous celebration was made by Furuichi, Oga was rocking Beel in his arms but he was relieved at the sight of a potential exit. As the boys made their way out, it was abruptly blocked off by many grey uniform wearing bold guys.
"So these are the little bitches that came into my territory." The shades wearing leader stepped forwards from the shadows into visible view of both the boys. Scraping his newly acquired knuckle dusters on the side of his serrated steal knife bought about an eerie sound, his eyes however started to wonder around to the baby and the blazers the boys were wearing.
"What is this? Looks like we got a couple from Ishiyama High thinking they can come here on a date with a brat in hand. Well I've got bad news for you." He paused and all the other men slowly started to corner the three. "Let's see what you can do coming from the oh so big Ishiyama High? You lot look like first years, well might as well introduce you to the world of pain."
Oga stayed calm and slowly walked back while dragging Furuichi behind him. He put Beel back on his back and stood in front of Furuichi assessing the situation. There were around thirty men on the ground and nearly all of them were armed, another ten who were blocking the three exits so there would be not escapees.
Furuichi's eye caught something and he signal Oga to look up. There he saw some more bold guys ready to launch themselves of the balconies when needed. Oga was used to these situations so it was no problem, normally he only had to protect Furuichi but now he had a brat that could not even stand up hanging on the back of his shirt.
Reading up he saw the first way of wave of attackers, he was limited to space in this confined alleyway that was overcrowded. He could not build up the power potential he used earlier on the flying kick so he would have to rely accurate punches to thin out the numbers.
He saw a mental bat come his way, dodging it was not an option with having to protect two people behind him. He stopped it by rushing forward and griping the man's wrist, he pushed the arm out with his strength and hit another boldy in the face and knocking him out cold. Oga used the retained man as an object and gained some air to plant his feet on the face of two more men. There was a definite crunching noise that could make someone cringe at the sound. Both of those men dropped to the floor, one screamed in pain the other just lay there.
Oga chopped the back of the retained delinquents neck and he also slumped down unconscious. Oga took a step back to stand back in front of Furuichi again. All this happened in the span of ten seconds… in ten seconds Oga was able to knock out four guys with a baby on his back and while protecting someone else. Everyone witness this and the bold men were getting mad.
"Furuichi I will make an exit for you." Oga spoke to his only friend and reassured him on the situation. "Get out of here and wait for me by the normal place."
"Okay." Furuichi replied as he tightened his grip on the pink umbrella and side bag.
"Hey now do you honestly think we will let your cross dressing bitch leave? The pink umbrella really brings out her eyes." A heavily obese bold man took the forward position ready to lay it down on Oga.
Oga just smirked and got into a stance.
"Furuichi on my signal." Oga said this and cocked back his arm as much as possible. As the fat man came running, Oga also ran to him. Oga being much faster and stronger punched the overweight man in the gut which sent him flying at speed into many other bold men. Oga planned the direction of the projectile, it cut a clear path through many men at one of the exits. Furuichi wasted no time and ran for the exit.
"Don't let them get away!" An order was yelled by their boss and every able man rushed in to stop boys from Ishiyama High. While everyone's attention was on Furuichi, Oga took the opportunity to step up his game. Kicking one boldy so it disturbed multiple others bought enough time for Furuichi to get out of the fray and give Oga full control over the fight.
"So looks Like it's just me and you now." Oga declared his dominance as the predator, he stood at the exit Furuichi just ran out and was not going to let anyone else out.
"Attack him!" Orders were yelled again and multiple weapons were aimed at Oga, he dodged stopped and broke many. The boss of the bold men also jumped into the fray but was overpowered in an instance. It was a complete massacre, even when rushed by twenty men Oga was able to beat them with his superior speed and overwhelming power. When it was all said and done the rampaging ogre stood above the fifty odd boldys that thought they could beat them.
Beel on the other hand was shouting in excitement, the fight had clearly sparked something in him. Oga looked around to see if he missed any stragglers but was satisfied with the results. Oga saw something on the floor and recognised it as some sort of wooden box, upon closer looking and opening there was a packet on money in there. Opening the packet and inspecting it, Oga pocketed it into the inside of his blazer. He walked through the alleyway with a smile on his face until he saw sunlight, heading straight out he left with satisfaction.
"Alright Beel you've had your fun lets go get Furuichi."
(End Flashback)
"So all in all you have had a brilliant day with the young master, carry on working hard because the young master has put his trust in you and you clearly seem to be bonding to him well. There are many other things I want to add to this but will stay quiet, all I ask is not to neglect the feelings of the young master." Hilda said everything she need to and could have left if she wanted to but stayed, she held Beel in her lap and prepared for the onslaught of insults that would be thrown at her.
"I really don't want to look after this brat." Tatsumi spoke his mind in a calm civilised manner, Hilda did not interrupt. "It's really annoying and it's only been one day and I'm already shattered. I feel as if you're not telling me everything and I can see you don't hold true to Beel here destroying humanity." Tatsumi got up and closed the door, he could hear the annoying voices of the females downstairs getting rowdy over alcohol. Hilda watched him and trying to get a feel to what his intentions were.
"I was commanded on the mission to get the young master a contractor who can bring about the power of demon lords, build an army of retainers to which we already have one and then bring the destruction of this world." Hilda said this without making eye contact.
"Well we can only see how this can turn out." Tatsumi gave his reply, he wanted yell the house down and get them to leave but he felt as if there was more behind the two than he originally thought. He picked up everything on his bed and tossed it onto the empty desk, then flopped down on to the bed and got ready to sleep. "I'm going to sleep now, you're awake so look after the brat and don't make him cry."
"Shut up you insignificant piece of shit." Hilda replied back at to him with a calm tone.
"Right back at ya."
Hilda proceeded to turn on the Television and watch whatever came on to the smaller TV in this room. Beel played with the rattle and ripped some pages from a magazine.
"Keep the volume down idiot." Tatsumi roared at Hilda.
"Shut up and die." Was her response and kept the volume at the current level.
It was back to insults with the two of them and it felt surprising normal for Tatsumi. Sure he really did not want to look after the child but he would more than likely die if he left to which he did not want. As sleep came to him over the noise of the Television and rowdy girls downstairs Tatsumi wondered to himself if he would dream again?
