A/N Sorry it took me so long to update it but I've been very busy with. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the next chapter of this fanfic:)
" Baby Beel, a man does not sulk or curse when the odds are against him but you'll have to make an exception this time. What is she fucking doing now!" raged Oga as Baby Beel looked concerned at his human father but even he knew that there was something not right in the Tatsumi household.
" Oga!" shouted Fruuichi as he came barreling through the front door and knocking him over.
" Idiot Furuichi. What the hell do you think you're doing barging through the front door like that. I would have at least expected a knock," growled Oga and picked himself off the ground.
" Alaindelon told me about Hilda's departure back to the demon world for two weeks and I would like to know what part did you play in prompting her to do such a thing?" Furuichi asked.
" Nothing, you idiot," Oga muttered under his breath, trying to remain calm and cool while his mind was already about to explode with frustration.
" Urgent matter, huh? What can be more urgent than Baby Beel and her responsibility?" Oga asked Furuichi.
" How about you try marriage, hmm?" a smooth as silk voice came from the living room and the two delinquents turned around to see the smiling figure of Hilda's sister, Yolda by the couch.
" Marriage? What the hell are you talking about?" Oga demanded to know but Furuichi was too busy ogling Yolda to back Oga up.
" I'm surprised that she didn't tell her lover about her marriage plan to the general of Behemoth's Pillar Squad which probably was too hard to refuse," Yolda smirked and Oga's face turned red and then light purple in rage.
" No fucking way she would do that. She would have told me or at least that's what I thought she would have done," Oga said in dejection and Furuichi relished the opportunity to see the vulnerable side of Japan's strongest juvenile delinquent.
" Well, that's too bad. Never mind, you and I could always go out for a drink if you want to ?" Yolda winked suggestively at Oga but he ignored her and she sighed.
" You're no fun at all. I can't see why my sister liked you. You're just like her in some ways and one of them is no fun," Yolda continued.
" Shut up. Tell me why she had to go back to the demon world on so-called urgent business if all she got was a marriage proposal?" Oga asked angrily and Yolda shook her head in sympathy.
" You really are brainless. Jabberwock came to court her the other day and she fell for it so she is contemplating his marriage proposal. However, she has gone back to the demon world to spend two weeks with him in order to get to know him better before deciding on him," Yolda explained and Oga's eyes grew wide with amazement.
" Wow, Hilda must be really serious with Jabberwock if she would take two weeks off from her duties," Furuichi said and Oga nodded.
" Jabberwock…..That bastard. When I get my hands on him, I'll make sure that I'll rip him to shreds," Oga growled and Yolda looked amused.
" A love triangle? Now this is interesting. I don't mind helping this human win back my sister but on the other hand, she should marry someone with a higher position and more wealth," she thought to herself.
" Alaindelon, transfer me to the demon world now so that I can kick Jabberwock's ass," Oga shouted in anger.
" No can do, Oga. I'm here to warn you that if you try and interfere with her plan's, the whole pillar squad will come down hard on these pathetic humans and eradicate them in a heartbeat," Yolda laughed.
" And the Great Demon Lord would condone such a thing?" Furuichi challenged her.
" Fortunately yes," she said and Oga bit his lower lip.
" However, you may transfer to the demon world and try to coax her to return to your open arms only after the first to days," Yolda said and this placated Oga.
" Whatever. I'll just wait for the two days and then kick some demon general ass," Oga cheered.
" Suit yourself but I warn you, my sister doesn't change her mind easily and I think that Jabberwock will win this battle," she continued and this infuriated him.
" We'll see about that, you bitch," he muttered and Yolda disappeared back to the demon world.
" Oga, I'm really sorry about Hilda dumping you and Jabberwock horning in on your territory," Furuichi said earnestly but Oga just raised a hand to silence him.
"It's not your fault at all so you don't need to apologize for anything. Right now, I'm just feeling like crap because it will take me a hell of a lot to convince her to leave that bloody dragon tamer," Oga said.
" Don't worry Oga, I'll help you and I'll rope in some other guys too," he offered but Oga shook his head.
"No. This is my problem and those dumbasses won't even know where to start," Oga said.
" But I wouldn't mind them helping me open a can of ass whoop on Jabberwock and his little friends," Oga grinned .
Furuichi didn't like the grin one little bit. " Oga, you're supposed to win her back with words and not by force."
" Nobody said that I couldn't use both," Oga smiled and Furuichi started to catch his drift.
Back in the demon world…..
" Hey pops, can I trust you to act decent and welcoming to my future bride?" asked Jabberwock as he lit a cigar and began puffing clouds of smoke into the air.
" Of course, of course. I'm willing to let bygones be bygones and accept her into the family," Behemoth said with much enthusiasm.
Jabberwock gave his father an odd look but Behemoth quickly turned away from his son and readjusted his spectacles.
A few months back, Behemoth only wanted Hilda to marry his son to send Oga into a spiraling depression and failure but the thought of Hilda becoming his future daughter-in-law was becoming a much pleasant prospect with each day passing.
Jabberwock secretly wanted to thank Oga for rescuing Hilda from Sodom or else he wouldn't have the chance to court her but he was still pissed at him for giving him such a beating.
" Well, anyway, I'm going out for lunch with Hilda ," Jabberwock called out from the living room and Behemoth just grunted in response.
Jabberwock stepped outside his house to find Hilda waiting for him outside and he gave a small smirk.
" You're here early. Couldn't wait to be with me?" Jabberwock grinned but Hilda was not amused and she gave one of her signature icy glares.
" Don't flatter yourself. I was here early because I happened to pass by this area while shopping for provisions," she said and Jabberwock snorted.
" Fine. Whatever you say," he said and he began walking with her. He noticed that she seemed more relax and she had a hint of playfulness in her eyes that he never saw back in the human world. She missed the demon world and being around people like him.
He smiled and he could never explain his next action as it was spontaneous but he slid his arm around her waist and she blushed slight pink. " Who gave you permission to hold my waist?" she asked him.
" Nobody but I could sense that you were kind of mellow now and I thought I could try and make you feel even better," said Jabberwock and he felt disgusted with himself for screwing up that sentence.
Hilda raised an eyebrow but she didn't reprimand him or push his arm away and this was enough for Jabberwock.
They dined at an expensive and classy restaurant which was facing the lava waterfall and Hilda couldn't help but let slip a little smile and Jabberwock immediately knew that he was on the right track.
" What's with the small little smile, huh? " he asked grinning and she heaved a sigh.
" I don't remember the last time I enjoyed such freedom from my duties or even venture to a date with….," but she quickly clamped her mouth shut before she could blurt out the final part of her sentence.
Jabberwock raised and eyebrow and poured her another glass of champagne. " So tell me, are your opinions on that rat still as high as before?" he asked her.
Hilda paused and she remembered Oga and Baby Beel back in the human world getting themselves into all sorts of trouble. True love wasn't easy to forget and she was still in love with Oga but day by day, it began to weaken.
" Not really," Hilda said quietly and she quickly downed another glass of champagne to ease the pain in her heart.
" Come on, I want to end the afternoon with a surprise," he said and Hilda looked surprised at him.
The recent weeks have been tough on the maidservant but she could see that Jabberwock was slowly but surely becoming less rough and sadistic.
She shrugged to herself and slipped her hand in Jabberwock's big and rough one and he gave a small smile.
Jabberwock led her to a secluded area and he let go of her hand. Hilda had a feeling that he would propose but she was wrong.
He scratched his head and gulped silently. " I've never kissed a woman before in my entire life so I'm hoping that my first with her won't be too terrible," Jabberwock thought and he approached her.
He sat down next to her and began stroking her arm and then proceeded to her face but she felt uncomfortable and placed his hand away.
" Just what do you think you're trying to do?" she asked sharply and Jabberwock grit his teeth. " Nothing you should worry about," he replied and tried to stroke her thighs but she batted his hand away.
Jabberwock sighed and he got up. " This romantic stuff is fucking hard and confusing. All I want is just a damn kiss," he thought angrily and Hilda got up and approached him.
" Jabberwock," she said slowly and he turned around. " What?" he answered grumpily.
" Is this what you wanted?" she asked and pulled him closer to her and began to kiss him on the lips. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
" Damn, she's one fine woman," he thought as the kiss sent shivers down his spine. He just continued kissing her and soon his hands started to roam around her body.
Hilda was enjoying it too but her guilty conscience made it hard for her to do so. She liked being touched by a big and strong man but somehow, it didn't have the same excitement and feeling as when she was touched by Oga.
Hilda began to succumb to her guilt and she pulled herself away from the pillar general and he looked surprised.
" What's wrong, Hilda? Does my breath smell like garlic or cigars?" Jabberwock asked and began smelling his own breath but she shook her head.
" Your breath is fine. I'm just tired, that's all," she said and she took her umbrella and looked up at him.
" Well, I've had a pleasant and enjoyable afternoon with you today. I'll see you tomorrow then," Hilda said briskly and she bade goodbye to him before leaving him all alone once more.
" What the hell did I do to deserve this?" he muttered to himself but he consoled himself and told himself that he still had a week left before he proposed to her.
" First dates are always rough and I expect nothing less from a woman such as her. Beautiful, sexy and challenging," he thought to himself.
Hilda was having a harder time as she couldn't help but keep thinking about the row she had with Oga and how he was reluctant to propose to her.
" It was his own bloody fault for being such an idiotic bastard. I should be happy that I'm away from him but still….I feel that I just want him to come get me and tell me that everything is all right between us," Hilda thought as she lay down on her bed.
" Hilda, how was your date?" smirked Yolda entering her room without even the courtesy to knock first.
" It was a bit tense at first but it got better," Hilda said keeping the explanation brief while not telling her about the kiss.
" I'm not a fool. Obviously something happened which is making you sweat now. Did he drop a hint of dumping you because he saw the real you?" Yolda said with false sympathy but Hilda's eyes flashed fire and she got up.
" Shut up, it's nothing like that. We kissed and I enjoyed it but suddenly, thoughts of Oga kept flooding my mind and I had to break free," Hilda said and Yolda looked unimpressed at her sister.
" That barbaric man again? Wasn't once enough for you or do you want to go through with his nonsense once more. It's obvious that he's afraid of serious commitment so will you just go ahead with Jabberwock already?" Yolda said.
" It's not that easy. The truth is…I'm still in love with him," Hilda said softly and Yolda wrinkled her nose in disgust.
" Suit yourself. Let's just hope Jabberwock doesn't find out about that," she said before leaving Hilda to continue ruminating about Oga.
" Where are you?" she muttered softly to herself before turning off the lights and hopping into bed.
Back in the human world…
" It's obvious that I'm going to need some help stuffing that guy's ass. I'll admit that he's a level harder than the usual guys," Oga said.
" Obviously right? He's a pillar general you know," Furuichi said with a giant sweat drop behind his ear.
" I have done some thinking and Baby Beel has decided that he needs a proper mother so…..I'm going to make an honest woman out of her," Oga declared.
" Oga, where did you learn to speak like that?" Furuichi asked the delinquent. " I read from a book of yours called ' Romantics 101' ," Oga replied and Furuihi turned bright red.
" That's mine!" he yelled and snatched the book away from him and stuffed it into his drawer.
" Don't be such an ass. Anyway, I think that maybe I've been treating her with a little less respect and love," Oga muttered.
" Try a lot less respect and not even obliging a simple request," Furuichi continued thinking.
" Hey, Furuichi help me gather those TKKH guys. I'm going to need some firepower if I'm going to show Jabberwock that he shouldn't have stolen what doesn't belong to him," Oga said and Baby Beel squealed in delight and admiration at this.
" Umm….technically she doesn't belong to you…."but before he could finish his sentence, Oga sent him flying with a punch to the jaw.
" Just round up those guys, you idiot," Oga snarled.
Furuichi trudged to St. Ishiyama where Oga was supposed to be attending class and he informed Himekawa, Kanzaki, Natsume and Tojo about Oga's request.
" Tshhhh…..Why the hell would I want to help that bastard? If he can't keep his woman, don't come crying to us," Kanzaki hooted.
" Besides, that platinum blonde bombshell is probably better off without that poverty-stricken idiot," chimed in Himekawa.
" Anyway, helping little Oga-chan in his private life doesn't seem interesting at all," yawned Natsume and Furuichi began to sweat. Suddenly, another brilliant idea flashed through his mind.
" You won't believe who stole Hilda, those guys from Akumano Academy," said Furuichi and technically he wasn't lying.
The delinquents perked up at the sound of their resented enemy's name and Kanzaki raised a fist.
" If they are behind this, I'll come down and give them a good beating for last time!" he shouted.
" Haha, count me in too if those guys are going to be our targets," smirked Himekawa.
" Now, that is interesting," smiled Natsume and Tojo suddenly came to life.
" Akumas? Where? I'm just dying to get my hands on them and show them my new strength," Tojo said gleefully.
Furuichi smiled to himself. " Well, Team Oga is assembled so now we just have to wait for the right time,"
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'll see you guys soon in the last chapter and I hope you continue reading it. Don't forget to read and review.
