Thanks for the reviews everyone! Here's Chapter 10! Hope you enjoy!

Note: This is what part of Chapter 12 of 'Purple Skies' was supposed to be like, but I thought it was a bit too much. And I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh, but in all honesty, the Ishiyama group needs a slap in the face regarding the way they treat Furuichi.

I also kind of changed the cover image for 'Konketsu no Shoujo', so I hope you like it! Also, to Devlin Dracul, was the previous chapter too hot for words? ^_^

Warning, some foul language.

Story 10: Slap in the Face

Characters: Yumi (my OC from Konketsu no Shoujo/Purple Skies), Hecadoth, Agiel, Graphel, Naga, Hilda, Oga, Lord En, Yolda, Isabella, Satura, Shizuka, the Ishiyama Group

Pairings: Hecadoth x OC, Furuichi x Agiel

Summary: This is what the original revelation of Furuichi's suppressed anger and sadness in Chapter 12 of 'Purple Skies' was supposed to be like. Hecadoth snaps and gives the Ishiyama gang a slap in the face. Told in Hecadoth's POV.

"How's he doing?" Agiel asks Lamia. We have just destroyed the spirit of Medea the Sorceress, after exorcising her from Furuichi. However, a lot about him was revealed through the possession, including certain thoughts that not even I knew he was starting to have.

"He's just sleeping right now," Lamia says. "The exorcism did exhaust him a bit. Let's let him rest right now."

"Hecadoth, is something wrong?" Yumi asks me.

I nod, feeling a bit sad. "I told Furuichi to tell me if he was bothered by something," I say. "Yet he didn't even tell me that he was having thoughts of ending his own life. Why?"

"Maybe because he didn't trust you," Oga retorts at me.

I snap my head towards him and glare at him. "Oh, like he trusts you?! You're the one to talk!" I sneer at him. The nerve of him… how dare he! "He doesn't trust you either!" I turn back and glare at the table.

"Why would he not trust us?!" Kunieda demands.

"Yeah, why wouldn't he?!" Nene adds.

As they continue asking questions, I find myself glaring even harder at the table and my hands start trembling in rage. Every time those pathetic humans bullied Furuichi, I felt a surge of anger and an urge to pound them into the ground, yet Furuichi always begged me not to. I obeyed for his sake, even though he was too forgiving. But now? I can't hold in this anger. They're the ones that caused Furuichi so much pain, they're the ones that treat him like shit, and he still hangs around them?!

"I don't know what his problem is, but Furuichi's just being really difficult! He never had a problem with hanging out with us before, so why is he suddenly shutting us out?!" Hildegarde demands. At that point, my self-control snaps.

Suddenly, I loudly slam my clenched fists on the table and I slowly get up, glaring in rage at those humans. All their talking has stopped and they're now looking at me in surprise. "How dare you…" I snarl.

"Hecadoth?" Naga asks, looking a bit concerned.

"You shouldn't even be asking what his problem is…" I seethe. "You should all be ashamed of yourselves!"

Now, they're all confused. "Wh-What…?" Kunieda asks, stunned.

"Pathetic. You're all pathetic!" I start to rage. "Filthy humans that can't even differentiate a gem from a pebble don't deserve to even touch it, much less possess it!" Before I even realize, I slam my fist on the table again, startling them. "You pushed Furuichi away by picking on him and treating him like shit! It's all your fault that he's like this!"

I turn towards Hildegarde, one of the people whom I'm most disgusted with. "You… Wet Nurse… you disgust me…" I snarl. "You call yourself the wet nurse of the Youngest Prince?! Don't you feel any shame as to how you've treated him?! Huh?! Or are you as callous and cold-hearted as these humans?!"

Hildegarde opens her mouth to speak but I cut her off. "Furuichi has done so much for both you and Beelze-sama, but have you ever thanked him?! Have you ever shown even a little gratitude towards him?!" At this, she stares in shock, looking like she's about to cry. But I really don't care. "You make me sick, the way you so callously treat him like an insect! Has the Human World twisted you into being a bitch towards him?! If you call yourself a wet nurse, then show some dignity and treat him like he's a person!"

Once I'm done raging at her, I turn to face Kunieda and Nene, the two members of the Red Tails. "And you…" I seethe. "You call yourselves women?! You don't show Furuichi even a little bit of respect! How dare you call him lolicon and pervert?! Is it wrong for a thirteen-year-old girl to like a boy who's a few years older than her?!"

They're both intimidated but Nene chooses to speak. "B-But, h-he-"

"I don't fucking care!" I shout, causing her to step back in shock. "Grow up and get over your fucking selves! You don't know shit about him, so don't act like you've known him for years! He's not a pervert or a lolicon! Why do you pick on him so much?! Are you jealous?! What the hell has he done to you, huh?! If you really think you're women, then get your act together and show him some respect!"

I then turn onto the contract holder himself, Oga Tatsumi. "Contract holder…" I growl, feeling a bit satisfied when I know I've intimidated him. "Furuichi has been your only friend for such a long time, yet you still pick on him! You never stand up for him when he's bullied, you call him names as well, so why are you so surprised when he's started pushing you away, huh?! He's your moral compass, so why don't you treat him with more respect, huh?!"

Oga glares at me. "What's gotten into you, Fish Face?!" he demands in anger.

I let out a sardonic, bitter laugh. "What's gotten into-" I stop myself and glare at him with fresh rage. "You know why Furuichi constantly spends time with Agiel, Yumi, and I?! Because we actually treat him like he's a person!"

I step back and glare at all of them. "You all disgust me," I rage. "You should be lucky that Furuichi is so forgiving! Because I wouldn't be so forgiving if I was in his place! Every time I see him getting picked on, and I feel like intervening, he always stops me, and I listen to him. Furuichi is a boy with so much potential, yet you don't let him show it! He was the one who helped you all win against us, right? Your strategist, huh? Have you even thanked him?!"

"He's a diamond in the rough, a gem among stones, a light in a sea of darkness… You're all nothing compared to him!" I shout at them. At this point, Hildegarde, Kunieda, Nene, and Yolda look like they're about to cry. "He even said: 'Being called Creepichi, Mobichi, lolicon, pervert, or whatever, and just laughing it off… how is that any different from being dead?'" I almost flip the table in pure anger, but I somehow manage to control myself. "Whoever came up with that saying 'sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me' is a fucking idiot! Words hurt even more than a beating!"

"Stop this, Hecadoth, we've heard enough!" Yolda pleads with me.

"No. You don't deserve Furuichi," I snarl. "He deserves people who actually treat him with respect. There have been many times in which I actually nearly went to Behemoth and persuaded him to let Furuichi stay with us because I've had enough of him attempting to hide the hurt and pain you put him through. At least we pillar demons value him and treat him with respect! He's better off with us because he's actually happy! In fact, I might just-" I'm cut off when Naga puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Hecadoth, that's enough," he orders me. "You've scolded them enough, now let them feel the guilt."

Yumi gently puts her hand on my shoulder. "Hecadoth…" she tells me softly, her face concerned. "Come." She takes my hand and leads me to the table.

I give one last glare at the humans and the wet nurses. I see I've sent Kunieda and Nene into tears and I've invoked the guilt they should be feeling. "When Furuichi wakes up, you'd better go and give him a proper apology," I threaten. "And I hope he doesn't forgive you, because you don't deserve his forgiveness."
