Chapter 2: Hello, Kanzaki

"Furuichi, it's HER!" Oga grabbed his friend by the neck and pointed at the girl. Furuichi followed with his gaze; his eyes narrowed as he studied the new face. In a couple of minutes his nostrils enlarge and he blew out air loudly.

"What a babe!" he yelled striking a pose. "But who is she?"

"That's what I want to know." Oga retorted as he turned his head to the girl. He quickly marched over to her and grabbed her arm. "AHA! I FINALLY FOUND YOU!" he yelled happily. The girl raised her eyebrow and looked at him.

"Who the hell are you?" she asked. People standing close to her almost dropped to the floor yet Oga didn't pay attention.

"Oga, you beast, let her go." It was Furuichi smacking his friend over the head. "Excuse him please." He said in sweetly sickening voice. "He hit his head when he was a baby, so he is a bit dull and doesn't know how to act in front of gorgeous girl such as yourself."

"Here." Tatsumi Oga stretched out his arms holding out a cute baby to her. The girl blinked taken aback and unsure of how to act. "Take him."

"Kyaa…nyaaa…kukuku." The baby made adorable noises as it reached out its little hands toward the girl.

"Ehh…" on an instinct she reached out and accepted him. Baby Beel wrapped his arms around her and rubbed his cheek against hers.

"Furuichi, everything is settled!" Oga grinned. "I am finally a free man again!" the delinquent turned around and started marching away. Furuichi turned his gaze from his friend to the girl then Baby Beel and back to Oga.

"Wait." The girl ran after the delinquent.

"The hell do you want?" Oga turned around making the scary face he always used on punks yet she did not budge. The girl raised her eyebrow.

"Don't make that face; you look more retarded than you already are." She commented. A couple of people chuckled yet when Oga looked up and glared them they shut up and rushed to get away, not wanting any trouble. "Is this your baby?" she asked.

Furuichi walked towards them and stopped next to the girl. "Now he's yours." Oga grinned again. Baby Beel was clearly getting comfortable in her arms. He made another baby sound which made the girl smile. She hugged the baby carefully and gently.

"You are good with children." Furuichi said.

"I have a cat."

"Makes sense." Oga laughed. "So now you can have him as well." He turned around once again when a hand landed on his shoulder. From the touch he could tell that it was a female hand yet the grip told him that it was no simple girl.

"Hold it." she hissed. "Don't drop your responsibilities on others."

"But you love children…"

"Whoever said that?"

"It's obvious."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah really."

"You know what I…"

The demon baby shifted in her arms and started sobbing. "Oh no Baby Beel! Don't cry…DON'T CRY!" the same moment electricity pierced the delinquent causing him to fall on the ground.

"Serves you right." Furuichi said.

"Such a friend you are…" Oga mumbled.

"What was THAT?" the girl stared from Furuichi to Oga and vice versa. Two guys looked at each other before starting their ridiculous explanations. Talking and laughing loudly, interrupting each other and trying to make excuses. It tired her out. The girl raised her hand to stop the two but neither would shut up. She felt the vein pulsating at her temple. The noise started giving her a headache. She looked at the baby. *Its adorable, but…looks nothing like that guy.*

"Kyaa…kya." It mumbled.

"They annoy you as well huh? Don't worry, we'll solve this." Two fists connect with two face causing the guys to shut up.

"Not again!" Oga groaned reached out for the girl but she jumped aside.

"There are two things that aggravate me the most: stupid people and noise, in your case it's both." she said as she handed the baby to Oga who tried his best to avoid it.

"No, no! I don't want him!" Oga yelled.

"Shut up and take it like a man!" she retorted finally managing to give him the baby. She sighed heavily and wiped the sweat drops from her forehead. "You are tiring."

Furuichi rubbed his temples considering his chances with the girl. He clapped his hands together. *Now or never.*

"Would you like to join us for lunch? Oga's treat!"

"WHAT? DON'T DECIDE FOR ME!" Oga yelled.

"Che," the girl pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Why not?"

"Hey, don't you think you forgot to ask me?!"

"Hai, hai." Furuichi laughed leading the way.

Hajime Kanzaki sat in the middle of an empty classroom and stared at the wall. His followers surrounded him and their quiet whispering was clearly getting on his nerves.

"Hey, shut up all of you."

"My, my, Kanzaki, you are in a foul mood today."

Tatsumi was as calm as always. A soft almost teasing smile played on his lips. Kanzaki glared at him sipping the yogurt. "Is anything wrong?"

"Why don't you mind your own damn business, Natsume."

Natsume smiled and pushed a strand of his flawless hair back.

"Could it be…women trouble?" Natsume chuckled softly. Kanzaki crushed the yogurt can violently and threw it aside. He stood up pushing the chair away, causing it to fall on the floor.

"Ka…Kanzaki-san, where are…"

"Finished."

Everyone looked at him curiously. "The yogurt finished."

"Ha-ha," Natsume laughed and followed Kanzaki out of the classroom. The two walked to the vending machines in silence listening to the rattle of other students. Kanzaki looked ahead of him not bothering. Everyone around him gave off a feeling of being weaklings and it was no longer amusing.

"So what's your name?" Furuichi didn't want to waste any more time.

"Mori. Reiko Mori."

"I'm Furuichi and that one there is Oga and the baby is Baby Beel."

"I know that much." Reiko shrugged. Furuichi blinked. Reiko rolled her eyes. "Everybody knows infamous Oga. And his great follower, perverted Furuichi."

"Great follower..perver…WHAT? Mori-chan, don't believe everything you hear." The blonde waved his hand in front of himself as if defending himself from the rumour.

"I don't. I judge from my personal observations."

"Mori-chan, you've been watching me?" Furuichi felt like he was about to have a nose bleed.

"That's exactly my point." Reiko shook her head.

They walked into the canteen. It was full of people wishing to buy food the lack of which was heating up the atmosphere.

"I don't think we'll get far here." Reiko sighed. "Come on, I have bento." She stated. "It will be enough for all of us."

"You can cook?"

But Reiko didn't reply. Instead she rushed out of the canteen and made her way to the classroom. She picked up her bag and came out. "You'll need to get the drinks." She said.

"The vending machine is just around the corner." Furuichi noticed. Oga groaned and led the way as the two followed.

"What do you want?" he asked. Reiko pressed her finger to her lips thoughtfully. "I think I'll go for…"

" Yogurt."

The trio turned around. Baby Beel squeaked on Oga's back. A guy with copper blonde hair with his hands in his pockets stood closely behind them. He chewed on a straw as his eyes drilled holes in Oga's head.

"Huh?"

Reiko felt all the colour leave her face. Her hands and feet suddenly felt so cold. The chain on his face shone in the light which sent shivers down her spine.

"Kanzaki," Oga smirked. "Haven't seen you in a while."
