4:

Enter Kanzaki, "The King" of Ishiyama!

(Oga)

Furuichi and I have been friends since elementary. We've gone through middle, and now, High school, without even being assigned different classes. Long story short, we've been through a lot crap together.

Knowing that, I'd still punch the shit out of him when he annoys the hell out of me. Like now for instance.

I groaned, rubbing my aching head. Why didn't I bring headache pills with me if I knew he'd react like this? Of course, if it has anything to do with a woman, anything at all, Furuichi's the first one that goes on overdrive. Remind me, who's the pervert again?

"Calm down," I practically yelled, making my head hurt even worse, "it's not like we did anything, idiot!"

"I can't calm down!" He insisted, pointing an accusing finger at me, "it's not fair!"

"What's not fair?" I asked him rolling my eyes, hoping that finally, he'd shut up if I listened to his rant.

"You know damn well what!" He said shaking his head, "My house is in ruins, my parents are less than two weeks from returning, and you, oh, you get to have all the fun!"

"Fun? You call having my house invaded by demons and having my parents wrapped around their claws fun? It's hell!"

"How could having such a goddess living under the same roof as you possibly be a bad thing?!" He was seconds away from breaking down, practically ripping out his own hair, "You little shit, do you know how lucky you are?! I'd kill for an opportunity like that!"

"You'd do anything if it means standing next to a woman!" I replied, feeling ready to bash his head on the ground until he bled.

"Where did she sleep last night?" he demanded, crossing his arms and glaring at me, "In your room? Wrapped in your arms, naked as-"

"You and your imagination!" it felt good letting all that anger out, and as an added bonus, I was able to send the idiot flying without Beel.

"Aha! So that's it!" Damn it, I thought that would've knocked him out for sure. I give Furuichi this, he's persistent when it comes to this subject. "That's what you're trying to hide from me, right?!"

"Go annoy her!" I growled, moving away from him, but he kept following me, the fire in his eyes growing. Damn it, leave me alone! Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that damned green haired baby rolling his eyes at me as if he were chuckling, mocking me.

"I see it clearly now," I heard the moron mutter behind me, "all that trash talking's fake, all the beatings are fake, then when I turn my back, you guys act all lovey-dovey with each other….I see how it is you two….."

I shook my head, 'he's lost it…' I thought to myself, shooting a dark look towards the baby. "You try dealing with his shit for a change!"

Just then, Hilda appeared, holding with her a sack with Beel's noontime meal. Before I could ask her how she got here, Furuichi attempted to greet her. Only to get bitch slapped by her seconds later.

"Control your slobber, damn fool." She muttered, looking at her hand as if she were having a mental debate on whether or not to burn it.

"It not fair," he continued to mummer, slouching away from us to the farthest end of the roof, "How come the assholes always get all the hot babes?"

"Wait," I heard another voice; turning, I remembered Red Eyes was resting next to Beel this whole time, gazing at the sky with him, "that's what's eating you? That's what's making you bat-shit crazy?"

"THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT DAMN YOU! AND WHERE YOU NOT LISTENING TO MY RANT JUST NOW?!"

"…..Look Beel, that one almost looks like a fish….see it?"

"Da!"

Huh, no wonder the kid's been quiet.

"…Oga gets Hilda…..so what do I get, huh, a creepy, freeloading demon that needs a damn fridge to be fed….."

"For the record," Red Eyes stated, slowly getting up, "I didn't finish your food by myself, and another thing, didya see me go sleep at your house?"

That's right, now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing him in my place either. "Oi, where do you sleep Red Eyes?" I asked the yawning demon.

"Me? I got my own place. Speaking of which, I'm done for the day, I'll see you guys later. Oh, and don't worry Furuichi, I'm sure Alaindelon can keep you company, after all, he needs a place to stay too."

I jumped once I realized the old man had literally appeared out of thin air and now stood in front of us.

"You asked for me?" he said, bowing slightly.

"Good news," Red Eyes said, patting Furuichi on the back as he opened the door leading downstairs, "you'll be living with him for now, kay?"

Once he was gone, I sat next to Hilda, who was busy feeding Beel his favorite milk. "Does Red Eyes really have a house here?" I asked, wondering why the hell they didn't just bunk with him rather than storm my place.

'Oh right, the 15 meters bullshit…..never mind…."

She shrugged, adjusting Beel slightly so that the milk wouldn't spill, "Can't say really, Raejin is never really clear on where he leaves to, he just comes and goes as he pleases." She scoffed, no wait, it sounded more like a chuckle, "Even as children, he had that stupid habit of not telling anyone where he went…."

I blinked, "Wait, you two have known each other since you were kids?" So that's long he meant when he said "after a while"?

"What? Does my private life interest you all of a sudden?" she asked suddenly, definitely smirking, "Or, do I detect a note of jealousy maybe?"

"As if!" I spat, crossing my arms and turning my back, "Not in the least! And why would I be jealous to begin with?!"

"Then don't mingle in things that don't concern you." She replied in her usual tone.

'B-Bitch!...Well then, excuse me for trying to make conversation!'

….

(Raejin)

"Damn, it's pretty early, only an hour past noon, and I'm already tired." I sighed, 'Guess that makes me a lazy bastard, but hey, it's not my fault I've got nothing to do….'

My gut started growling after a couple of minutes, damn myself for not eating anything in the morning. And that that it was cooked by Oga's parents! I saw a glimmer of hope not far, in the form of food dispenser.

"Beggers can't be choosers…." I muttered to myself, rubbing my howling stomach as I made my way there. As expected, two of these things didn't work, and every single one of them had graffiti on them. "Big surprise there….."

I quickly scanned through everything the machine had to offer. "Fruit Punch"….no, "Juice"…..no, "Soda"….nope…."yogurt"…..maybe….

I reached into my pocket to see if I had any human world money, and pulled out two silver coins. I inserted the first one, tapped the yogurt button, and nothing happened. Still tapping the button, I inserted the second coin, and then the machine finally obeyed.

I stared at the small white carton in my hand for the longest time. It looked so similar to the Cow milk Hilda offered Beel yesterday. Now, how the hell do you open this thing? I saw the small instructions on the back, and pulled the straw out the plastic casing, inserting the sharpish end through the small hole in the box.

Wow, that was simple.

My eyes widened as I sipped from the small container. 'That's it,' I thought to myself, becoming lost in the rich flavor, 'I'm never eating food from the Demon World again….Beel has to try this.'

"Stupid machine!" I heard someone curse, "Must be broken!"

"It's not broken idiot," I heard another yell, "it's out of Yogurty!"

"Oi! It was you wasn't it?" I turned to face the two thugs behind me, sipping the last of my drink. "You bought the last Yogurty!"

"You mean this?" I asked, holding the now empty carton to their faces, "Bummer, I guess little Beel won't try this." That made them angry for some reason.

"The King's ganna be pissed," the other said with crossed arms.

'Yeah, no kidding he's ganna be fuckin pissed when I get back empty handed.' "Wait, who is this "King"?" The two suddenly looked at me like I was half insane or something.

"Who's the King?" idiot #1 asked, laughing as he elbowed idiot #2, "Hear that? This sad sap don't know whose boss around here! Who's the King? Ha!"

Idiot #2 stepped closer, these two bastards are so lucky I'm being restrained against my will, "You moron, for your information, taking Kanzaki-san's Yogurty is the equivalent of a declaration of war!"

"I take it that this Kanzaki person is the "King"?" I asked, narrowing my gaze.

"No shit! He's the one that's got this school in the palm of his hand!"

"I see," This was seriously too easy, "and where exactly can I find this Kanzaki fellow exactly?"

Child's play really.

…

(Oga)

"So let me get this straight," I yawned, glaring at Hilda along with the brat on her lap, "He deprived me of sleep last night….can't spare me even five minutes of silence…and now he wants me to play with him?"

"That is correct." She answered with a nod, lightly shoving the Demon King forward.

"ARE YOU INSANE?! NO FUCKING WAY, YOU PLAY WITH HIM!"

"….Master?"

"Da!" he exclaimed, pointing a tiny finger at me.

"Don't "Da" me!" I snapped, "Just leave me alone. Go play with Hilda or Furuichi." That said, I did what Red Eyes would do and began catching a few Z's. Let him cry, I could care less by this point.

"OGA!" I heard said son of a bitch shout the minute my eyes closed. This better be good….

"What the hell do you want Red Eyes?" I grumbled, climbing to my feet, "I thought you left somewhere." He wasn't damn near-dead like I expected him to be, and he had that creepy smile on him, the one where all his sharp teeth showed.

He motioned for me to go with him, being mindful of the 15 meters, I went as far as Beel allowed me to without frying me to death. "What's so important that you had to wake my ass up?" I demanded, crossing my arms and attempting not to make eye contact, "The world better be ending."

He shook his head, "We'll get to that later; does the fact that I found a perfect candidate to wipe the floor with your corpse sound important to you?"

You know, suddenly I felt like I had a good night's sleep after all.

"You're serious?" I asked, knowing fully well that this could be his idea of a joke. "You actually found a guy that's more brutal than me?"

"Hey," He said with a crooked smile, "would I lie?"

'Yes you would asshole….'

He stopped smiling when I shot him a skeptical look, "Ok, never mind, I would lie." He admitted.

'Called it….'

"But I can honestly say if anyone's ganna take Beel off your hands, it'd be this guy."

"Really," I said, glaring at the group behind me for half a second, "well, I guess I'd better not waste a perfectly good chance to ditch the brat, even if it's just a hunch."

I mean, all I had to do was let the guy knock me around a few times to impress baby Beel, doesn't mean I won't get the bastard back for it later. Sure, I'll be forever disgraced for not fighting back, but anything, I mean anything, is better than having to raise the future destroyer of Mankind…..Ok, don't take that last part too seriously. But really, how hard could getting my ass kicked be?

"Ok….whose the guy?" I asked, already getting a bad feeling, like this was going to come around and backfire on me.

"His name's Kanzaki, but people here refer to him as "The King"."

…

"Well," I sighed, looking at the dead hallway in front of me, "we're here." The third-year hallway. No regular first-year would be stupid enough to come here alone. Unfortunately, I'm not the average first-year, and, I'm also not alone.

"This is suicide Oga! We'll be dead by the time we reach Kanzaki's doorstep! And why the hell did I have to come, couldn't you take Hilda or Jin with you instead?!"

Furuichi's got my back.

"Relax Furuichi," I told my spineless friend, "you won't have to do anything. While this Kanzaki guy and I "negotiate" baby Beel, you just have to stand there and let his thugs bet the shit out of you. Simple!"

"….fuck you…"

"Don't worry," I patted him on the back, "It'll be over before you now it!" Shaking his head, he followed closely behind, accepting his fate as a punching bag. On my shoulder, Beel had fallen asleep the minute we left the roof.

"I wonder how much of a bastard this Kanzaki guy is," I muttered aloud, my imagination taking over in seconds, "if he's really the badass Red Eyes says he is, baby Beel will practically beg him to be his father! And then, I'll be free!"

My smirk faded as I saw three third-years huddled together outside a classroom, murmuring something. I breathed, "Oi, do any of you know where I could find Kanzaki?" I asked about as nicely as I possibly could.

At the sound of his name, two of the three idiots ran for the hills, while the other one, looking ready to shit his pants, followed their example after a few seconds.

'Damn, this guy must be a demon!' I thought to myself excitedly, practically skipping all the way to the door that was covered with graffiti from top to bottom.

"Here lies The King," Furuichi read the door, "stay the fuck out." Shaking his head, he turned to me, looking ready to ask if this was really a good idea.

By that time, the door had already been opened

….

'Look at all these tough looking bastards!' I thought to myself, gazing at the room full of third-years in awe, my silver haired companion on the other hand, looked like he wanted to die right there. 'Wonder which one of them is Kanzaki…'

"Oi! It's the Rampaging Ogre!" I heard someone across the room shout, causing anyone who wasn't already staring to start throwing daggers at us.

"Does he have a death wish?"

"Gotta be damn stupid to come in here like he owns the place!"

"You wanna die fool?!"

'You're ganna wake the baby up….idiots.'

"Um…..Yo….." I muttered to them weakly, attempting not to wake Beel up in the process, "So," I said louder, "is this where I can find Kanzaki-kun?"

Furuichi threw me a pissed off look, mouthing something that I couldn't hear under his breath while glaring at the bloodthirsty thugs in front of us.

Is it just me, or did they look even more pissed off then before? Was it something I said?

"Uh, this is Kanzaki-kun's classroom, right? I didn't get the wrong room or anything?"

"Oga," Furuichi rasped louder, eyes widened in fear, "Are you trying to get us killed?!"

"That's Kanzaki-san to you, dumbass first-year." I heard someone way in the back reply, almost like dogs, most of the people in the crowded room parted to the sides, the back of the room now revealed to us.

I figured the guy in the fancy looking chair was the guy I was looking for. But his face looked familiar for some reason, like I've seen him somewhere before….no fucking way, it couldn't be-

"Oi," I asked, raising a brow, "you're Kanzaki-ku-I mean san? As in, Hajime Kansaki?"

"Hmm? Yeah, that's me, what of it?"

I clenched my fist, oh yeah, it was this asshole….hopefully, he's too stupid to recognize me after so long; hell, I hardly recognize him with all those extra piercings.

"Oi Oga, what's up?" I heard Furuichi half whisper, "Why the sudden glare?"

"Remember that guy that had a crush on my sister three years ago?" I replied with a growl, my eyes locked on that lip piercing he had on.

"The one that would never leave her alone? Yeah, a little. Why?"

"That's him!"

Furuichi suddenly sweat dropped, "What?! H-How can you tell?" He stuttered. I rolled my eyes.

"Look at his lip, idiot."

"Oh, that thing on his lip? I thought Misaki-chan tore that off once…"

"She did, that's when he finally gave up on her."

"Oi! You two!" A big guy beside Kanzaki shouted, banging his huge fists on the table, "what the hell do you want?!"

I heard a small yawn, telling me that Beel was up and about. Everyone just glared at him, murmuring comments to each other until Furuichi spoke up.

"What we want? Well, we're actually here to offer our services to Kanzaki-sama, if he'd take us in, that is." Before I could say he was an idiot, he shot me a look that said, 'play along for now'

'Sure,' I mentally responded, 'I'll play along, but if that asshole says ONE thing about my sister, I swear, I'll-'

"Really, you two wanna offer your services to the King?" The big dude asked, scoffing.

"Yeah…" I answered uninterested, but started giving a shit when both he and Furuichi shot me looks, "yeah that's it, yup, that's what we came here for!"

Suddenly, the whole room burst out laughing. Buncha assholes.

"Oi," Furuichi asked shakily, "W-what's so funny guys?"

"Is that so?" Kanzaki asked, causing the laughter to die instantly, "interesting. Then you've come to the right place, the strong are always welcome here."

I grinned, looks like Furuichi's plan is going smoothly so far, we might actually pull this off.

"Kanzaki-san!" The big dude suddenly exclaimed, glaring at us with hate, "those two are up to something, I know it!" Kanzaki didn't look amused, but still gestured for him to continue, "Just because he easily defeated those second-years doesn't mean-"

"MOVE IT!" a loud voice boomed behind us, causing Furuichi and I to practically jump out of our skins. Next thing I know, two guys were sent flying across the room, slamming into the wall behind Kanzaki, and falling to the floor with loud thuds. Everyone in the room backed away in fear.

"H-Hilda-san!"

"Wha-What the hell are you doing here?!" I asked, slightly shocked at how brutal the woman's entrance was. 'Then again, she's a demon….'

She didn't answer me, instead she casually walked next to us, throwing Kanzaki and his thugs an evil glare. "You're Kanzaki, right?" she asked the surprised third-year. Before he could answer, Hilda jerked her thumb towards me, "My hubby's been itching to beat your ass!"

'H-Hubby?!' "Woah, woah there," I cleared my throat, grabbing everyone's attention, "First off, she's not, I repeat, not my wife!" it took all my willpower to ignore the evil look she was throwing me. "Second, who the hell said anything about fighting? I just wanna-"

"Well Shiroyama," I saw Kanzaki grin, "It looks like you get the chance to prove to me that you're right."

"Prove?"

"I have no use for weaklings here."

"U-Understood, Kanzaki-san."

The big guy, Shiroyama, started walking towards us, that's when I noticed the…pigtails? With ribbons on them? Are you kidding me, really? I cannot take this guy seriously now.

"What are you up to?" He demanded, cracking his knuckles.

I blinked, still glaring at his hair, "Eh….I'm sorry, what?"

"I've crush hundreds of assholes who tried to get close to Kanzaki-san, all with the intention of stabbing him in the back, you'll be no different."

I saw Hilda roll her visible eye, "This is going nowhere." She muttered to herself. Before I could even blink, I saw Hilda in front of me.

The demoness socked the big guy so fast, I barely saw it happen.

"You'll be…you'll be?" With those words, the giant fell.

Holy shit! She just-she just kicked his ass with one punch!

"Damn it," I heard her mutter under her breath, examining her hand, "I only meant to knock him down, not to paralyze him." she cleared her throat, "The floor's all yours darling."

'Wait...wait what?!'

Kanzaki was laughing his ass off, "Your wifey sure is a feisty one! Well, that settles it, welcome to 3-A!"

'She's not my wife! Asshole…and did you not hear what that demon said?!'

"K-Kanzaki-san!"

We all turned back to Shiroyama, who glared up towards Kanzaki like a beat dog on the side of the street, "I-I haven't lost…..just yet! I can st-" the bastard silenced the downed man with a kick to the jaw.

"Cool story bro, but I've got no use for someone that can be beat by a woman."

"Son of a-" I might be a ruthless bastard myself, but there's no way in hell I'd treat my friends like utter garbage, not even Furuichi (And in his defense, Hilda's punches hurt like a bitch!).

Beside me, Hilda was practically smirking, "Hmm….He's a ruthless bastard alright, he has an army of underlings at his command, and he could care less for even his closest allies. Congratulations Oga, looks like you've found yourself a perfect candidate to raise the young Master."

"Right…" I sighed. Part of me honestly wanted to give in and hand Beel over to him, but, and as much as I hate to admit it, a small part of me didn't have the heart to leave him with Kanzaki. The very same small part of me that hesitated that day at the river.

Kanzaki cleared his throat, straightening in his chair, "Oi, newbies, I've got your first assignment," he gestured towards his fallen ally, "Escort this trash outta here, will ya?"

"Kanzaki-san…."

"Oh, you're still with us Shiroyama?" He asked, barely glancing at the poor bastard, "Tell me something, can you stand?"

"O-Of-Of course!"

The big guy tired, and failed, many times to get to his feet, only for him to fall down seconds later.

"Good job!" Kanzaki clapped once he saw that he was, barely, standing. "You might still be of use to me…."

"For you, I-I'll do anything."

Even after that beat down, he was still loyal to the guy…..damn.

"Anything?" he parroted, with a smirk, "jump out that window."

He-He can't be freaken serious! We're like three or four stories up, at this condition, he'll be killed!

"Go on." Kanzaki gestured, walking over towards us, "Everyone's waiting on you, Shiroyama." He patted Beel's head lightly, "What's the matter? You can stand, but can't you walk?"

"You're not the one then….."

"Eh? What was that?"

"Get lost! Oga Vortex Punch!" I felt satisfaction when I saw that son of a bitch flying helplessly into the air.

"O-Oga! Wha-what the hell did you just do?!" The idiot that was my friend began to panic, "It was an accident! I swear, his hand just slipped and-!"

From beneath the rubble, I heard Kanzaki chuckling, "Oga…now I remember." He stood up, acting like my attack did nothing to him, "You're that little squirt with the hot sister. Finally got the guts to pick a fight with me eh?"

…..Ok, you asked for it asshole.

He tossed an empty yogurt box in the air, getting ready to split my head open with a drop kick. Somehow, I ended up blocking it with my arm, which surprised both of us.

'Damn! That shit actually hurts! Good thing I'm good at taking shit with a straight face!'

"Hey jackass," I growled, my mouth morphing into a smirk that hurt my face, "what's that you told me to do? Clean up the trash, right?" I felt Beel's power run through my veins, almost like adrenaline. "See you at the bottom asshole! Oga Hell Throw!"

I watched the so-called "King" fall four stories down.

"Tch….that was from my sister!" I called down, not caring if he could hear me or not.

Baby Beel started cheering, waving his arms up and down in victory. I turned, noticing that everybody in the room had left. Furuichi and Hilda were the only other people in the room.

"Hmp….it seems the Master still prefers you." She said, almost disappointed that he chose me over Kanzaki, "Oh well, it can't be help. Let's go."

"All that hard work….." Furuichi glared at me with a ticked off expression, "Damn it Oga! Why can't you just accept that you're Beel's father already?!"

"Like hell I will!"

…..

"Damn it!" I swore, slamming my left fist to the ground, "my golden opportunity, ruined! Just when I thought I could get this kid off my back!"

Hilda frowned, tearing her attention from the demon baby, "You've done your pointless search," she told me sternly, "Now stop stalling and commence the Master's reign on humanity already."

"Didn't anyone teach you about patience?" I shot back angrily.

"They did, and you're trying mine."

"You're ganna tear the skin off if you keep scratching your hand like that." Furuichi commented, pointing at the back of my right hand, which was itching and burning as if 100 fire ants just bit it.

Ignoring him, I continued to claw at my hand relentlessly, the itching worsening by the second. Besides me, baby Beel eyed me with interest from the demon maid's arms. 'What the hell?! This itching's been bugging me since we left Kanzaki's classroom…'

"You're ganna draw blood you idiot!" the dumbass warned, trying to pry my two hands, I slapped his arm away.

'If it gets rid of this damn itch, I'm fine with it!' I mentally replied, using all my willpower to ignore the itching, I crossed my arms. I could hear someone sipping loudly beside me.

"Mmm…This "Yogurty" is quite exquisite."

'Goddamn it old man!' I thought to myself, realizing it was only Alaindelon, 'Say something when you sneak up on people like that!' I noticed the envious look Beel was throwing his way, his tiny eyes locked on the small yogurt box he was holding.

"Dabu!" he demanded, looking at me suddenly.

"Oh, you want one too baby Beel?" I asked standing up, "Sure, I guess we could go check if the machine has anymore." He cheered in victory, crawling on my back and commanding me to start walking, only for me to stop suddenly as I noticed something wrong.

"What's up Oga, did the itching finally stop?"

"…..Furuichi…..since when has Red Eyes been missing?"

...

Next chapter, I'll start (slightly) drifting away a little more, just so I don't bore you guys with the same old story. I'd love some feedback...please *Hold's out baby Beel* for him?
