Chapter 4: Egg Pudding

Note: I'll be kind of busy because of those stupid exams, but I'll update with super speed afterwards

The kitchen window shattered into trillions of tiny glass shards. Shrill screams could be heard from the main halls, and thousands of innocent lives were lost.

All of the tourists in the main lobby had now stopped breathing, and blood was splattered everywhere. Every one of the corpses was marked with a purple triangle, much like Neuro's hell batteries. Yako and Godai were both gone from the crime scene. Strangely, none of the nearby police stations could sense the murderous intent.

"Shuura! If anything happens to Yako's safety, I won't go easy on you!" Neuro had gone down the neuropath. His eyes became opaque with the color of opals, just like the mysteries he devoured. "So? You can't say that if you don't have any evidence." Shuura stood timidly in the center of a mountain of dead bodies, and didn't look like a murderer at all. In the dead silence, Godai climbed out from a heap of bloody corpses. "Damn you, massacring bitch! Where'd you dump the brat?" Godai cursed. "If you really want to know, then that vixen was sacrificed to Shiiro. It would be pointless to rescue her soul now." Shuura said coldly. The arrogance in her words made Godai's blood pressure heighten. "But Neuro, you shouldn't care that much since you are fated to return to hell."

Neuro took in nothing of what Shuura said, and rocketed up to the secret bell tower chambers. There, he faced the empress of the hell – Shiiro. "Your highness, I beg you to save Yako's soul. I need her power to be able to feast on the human grounds." Neuro pleaded. "Neuro, I know that your power isn't limited to just this. Also, you should know that you may acquire as many slaves as you need in the human world. Why do you insist to keep Yako?" Shiiro didn't know that Neuro had grown a human heart. "Highness, if you don't allow me to collect what I need, then I'm afraid I'll have to win with a fight. 777 tools of hell – Evil Metal." Neuro expected Shiiro to be scratched, but he was wrong. The attack slid through as if Shiiro were air. "Neuro, even after five thousand years, you still have the heart of a child." Shiiro giggled with motherliness.

"Oho… You son of a bitch! How dare you pull my hair so brutally after I'd mended it with Hell Hard Wax?" Shuura passed through the higher hallways, slashing every victim in sight. Although she knew that her power was great, she was surprised at how hard Godai tugged her hair. "Hmph, I guess I could've overpowered Neuro's anger at anytime I wanted, then." Shuura then walked out the door like a model, showing off her huge posterior.

"Neuro, I can save her soul, but you have to prove your endurance in the human world, and not hurt your self like the time you fought Sicks." Shiiro said gently. A crack appeared on Neuro's porcelain face, and he was clearly troubled by something. "Unless Yako is with me, I would face my demise in the human world no matter how sturdy my body is." Shiiro's lips formed a smile. "All is fine with me, Neuro. I'll cancel Shuura's honeymoon right now to prevent earth to lose even more innocent souls. Yako should still be alive if you save her from Shuura's Amethyst box right now." Neuro's heart released another new emotion. "Thank you indeed, your highness.

Shuura was sitting on the Amethyst box that Yako was trapped in. After a few minutes, Shuura started to strip. "Hey…What are you doing? Someone might come in here and see you naked!" "You still don't understand, do you? Neuro has never touched another woman for the thousands of years he's alive, and I shall be his first woman." Yako shifted uncomfortably at Shuura's voice. But if what she thought was true… "Shuura, I'm sorry to say this, but Neuro has touched me for thousands of times in the detective office." Yako said firmly. "What the fucking hell, you bitch? If that's true, then you are so going to hell for what you did." The ends of Shuura's hair transformed into ultra sharp blades.

Yako's POV (point of view)

Being stuck in that narrow space was worse than Neuro's torturing. After seeing this crazed bitch, I'll never think that Neuro's mean again. The poisonous gas floating in the room was choking me. I felt my life being drained away from me. Neuro can be unreasonable, but he tries his best to protect me from harm. I believed that he would save me, and now, it was proven right in front of my teary eyes. Neuro was approaching Shuura with steady steps. "Shuura, don't act so shamelessly. I already have a precious person filling the gap of my heart. Even if she doesn't love me herself, I'll still love her for all eternity." Shuura laughed at Neuro's statement. My heart stopped for a moment. Neuro understood love? No, that couldn't have been true. Neuro had once said that he could never understand human feelings. If a heart actually existed in him, then it would be a whole different story.

Iceria's POV (general point of view)

"The 777 tools of hell, Evil Birdcage." Neuro's overflowing power had made the birdcage structure ten times more powerful than its original form. A huge diamond birdcage came down on Shuura, but Shuura also used a vile trick. "The 777 tools of hell, Evil Flame!" The pillars of tough diamond began to degenerate under the heat of the purple fire. Shuura pulled up a melting diamond spear, and shoved it into Neuro's chest without hesitation. Thick blood gushed out of Neuro's mouth. "Even if I die… I'd die with Yako instead of you…" Yako froze in realization. Neuro had actually loved her from the start, and that he was just too shy to confess the truth. "Neuro!" Yako didn't care if no one could hear her, but she screamed Neuro's name with all of her breath that remained. First, a small slit appeared, and later, amethyst shards were cascading down like a waterfall. "The 777 tools of hell, Evil Crystal!" Neuro used up the last of his power to summon the powerful tool. After a few minutes, Shuura was encased in finely polished emerald. Yako was clearly free of Shuura's spell, but Neuro doubled over in pain, and then fainted due to the weariness of fighting Shuura. With Godai's help, Yako was able to drag Neuro back to the office.

'Neuro's body is still in the state of devastation, and I don't know if he'll survive. I think you should try and give him what he yearned for so much.' Akane wrote a line of words on the white board. Then, Akane pushed Yako onto Neuro's chest. Yako had planned to walk away, but Neuro secured his iron grip on her wrist. "Yako… Don't leave… Or I'll throw you out the window…" Neuro uttered. Neuro was dream talking, and it was actually entertaining to hear what he said. Yako thought that Neuro only wanted to toy with her body, but the fact that he had grown a human heart startled her. Neuro's healing speed was gradually getting slower, and his demonic power was decreasing by every second. This time, Yako dragged Neuro though the bathroom door, and into the bathtub. She squeezed a handful of lavender shampoo into Neuro's hair, and massaged his silky hair with care. Neuro was still in a comma, so Yako had to hold him up to prevent him falling face first into the water. She rinsed Neuro's hair clean of soap suds, and dragged him onto bed.

"Sheesh… That brat should be happy that she's alive." Godai kicked the door open and plopped himself down on the couch. 'Yo, Godai! I made some pudding. Do you wanna try some?" Yako asked. "Sure." Godai took a bite out of the egg pudding, and put on a blank face. "It's not too bad, but too bad that the monster can't eat pudding!" Yako only smiled sheepishly.

"Neuro, open your mouth." Yako scooped a spoon of pudding and fed it to Neuro. Neuro opened his mouth like an infant. He'd never felt so humiliated before, yet it tasted sweet at the same time. "You know Neuro… You look adorable when you're asleep." Yako commented. Neuro did something that he had never done in his life before. He blushed. His cheeks were dyed the color of cherry popsicles. "Hm. This is the first time that I've tried human food. Your cooking is quite good, Yako." "Well, I'm happy that you like it." Yako wrapped her arms around his neck, and Neuro fell asleep in her arms. "Heh heh… you really are cute while you're asleep." Yako sighed. Outside the window, something laughed softly. "Wow, Yako. You're such a bad girl. Don't think that you can betray me." The mysterious figure took a snapshot of the two, and rushed back to his helicopter.

Author's note: This took quite some time to finish. By the way, my friend tried to read this with the Google Chrome translator, but it sounded like alien language once translated LOL
