Belphegor opened the Japanese girls door without knocking only 10 minutes after the meeting ended. Having rushed down the hall to reach her first he was in no mood, and had little patience, to wait for her to let him in. "Isa-chan the-" Belphegor stopped as he stared at Mammon who sat on her bed drinking a juice box. His large smile crept up his face at the sight. "How'd Chibi beat the Prince?"
"If you want to know you have to pay." Mammon said going back to drinking his juice.
"Belphegor-sama?" The Prince turned to see Isaki coming out of her closet carrying a handful of clothes. Snatching the clothes out of her hands he threw it back into the closet slamming the door shut and guarding it. "Belphegor-sama!"
"The Prince is going to send you away."
Isaki smiled at him. "You're kind of late." Belphegor looked at Mammon.
"I already tried."
Isaki took a step to her closet but Belphegor locked it. Sighing Isaki backed away in surrender. "I have to go."
"Ushishishi~ I have the power to make you stay."
"But-"
"Bel everything you're going to say I already tried."
"Shut it Mammy the Prince is more persuasive than you."
"She's going to tell you the same thing she told me." Mammon said tossing the juice box in the trash. Belphegor looked at Isaki for her answer.
"Belphegor-sama, if I'm going to stay here then I need to learn Varia's way. I can't continue to sit around reading, doing laundry, cleaning the mansion, and figuring Mammon's curse while you and the rest of Varia go out on missions killing people."
Belphegor stood there silent for a moment before his large smile appeared. "Who told you to say that?"
"Father. He told me you'd fall for it."
Mammon flew into the girls arms. "Smart man." He said.
"Naturally. I'm surprised you figured it out Belphegor-sama."
"Ushishishi~ of course I'm a genius."
Isaki smiled tilting her head to the side. "Is that so? I'd have to see it to believe it."
A knife appeared under Isaki's chin as teal eyes connected with blond hair. Belphegor's grin grew wider feeling the fear radiate off the pinknette. "Bel." Mammon said warningly.
"You don't believe the Prince is a genius."
"Unless you have something you can show me." She said.
Belphegor retracted the knife and disappeared most likely to find something to prove he was as smart as he said. Isaki unlocked the closet door opening it no more than 5 inches before a hand flew passed her head slamming against the door shutting it. "You should have known better Isaki." Mammon said releasing himself from her arms and leaving the room.
"I expected more from Isa-chan."
"I was hoping you'd fall for it." Isaki controlled herself as she felt the body behind her press up against her as the hand fell from the door.
"Don't underestimate the Prince."
"Don't give Isa-chan false hope." She replied in third person eager to see what he would do.
The closet door opened suddenly and Isaki was pushed in, roughly hitting the floor as the door locked behind her. The light flickered on and Isaki turned over to come face to face with the Prince. The dim light in the small room scared her quite a bit as his tiara seemed to shine in danger. Leaning back till her head hit the floor Isaki laid there in fear.
"Let's do a little training Isa-chan shishishi~"
The girl rolled over to the side dodging a knife lazily thrown at her. Getting up while stumbling over her own feet Isaki lucky avoided another knife. "Belphegor-sama." The teen laughed as the other evaded another. A scratch appeared on the girls face even after the knife passed. Wincing in pain she held onto her cheek as moving away from another knife caused her to fall into a number of boxes that littered the small space.
Belphegor aimlessly threw his weapon in directions that Isaki didn't see logical. Loud knocking on the door sounded. "Bel, Isaki, what's going on?" Lussuria yelled to them probably hearing all the ruckus that was going on inside.
Isaki moved to yell for help when she felt something sharp against her neck. Looking up she saw Belphegor kneel down to her sitting position but no objects were in his hands. Reaching up to feel what was there she gasped in pain as something caught her wrist and tighten its hold. Belphegor's face held no smile which was a sure sign this was no joking matter.
"You'll die but go if you wish."
Belphegor stood up opening the door before Lussuria could bang anymore leaving her behind.
"Oh my god." Lussuria gasped rushing to help the poor girl.
"Lussuria," Isaki said. The man looked at her waiting to hear what she had to say. "Can you show me something I think I need to see?"
Three Days Later
Isaki packed the last of her things before looked around at her bare room. Picking up her last bag and a video tape she walked out the door silently closing it behind her. Most Varia members would be training or having their lunch break right about now so the halls were relatively empty. It was 10:53; the message said someone would pick her up around 11. Reaching the front door Isaki put the bag with the rest staring at the tape in her hand.
"Oi what are you looking at." Jumping in surprise Isaki turned around see Squalo walking towards her.
"Squalo, it's been awhile hasn't it." She smiled hiding the object behind her back with one hand the other pulling at her piggy tail.
"Voi you're not going like that are you." He shouted a little motioning to her outfit.
"Eh, what's wrong with it? I thought it was a good choice for training." An old t-shirt and a pair of loose black shorts.
"You have to look presentable." He yelled at her.
"But what if the second we get there we have to run. I wouldn't have time to change."
"VOI find something comfortable and presentable to wear!"
Isaki couldn't help but laugh. "You're logic makes no sense." Squalo did a face palm as she shook her head at him. "Thank you though for seeing me off. I know Belphegor-sama's mad at me and is probably keeping Mammon with him."
His face turned slightly pink and Isaki raised an eyebrow at him. "VOI I-I'm happy you're leaving. Now I don't have to deal with that stupid prince sudden change of moods. You just have to make everything complicated." He stuttered shoving his hands in his pockets.
A honk echoed through the house and a number of Varia members picked up her stuff and headed outside. The Japanese girl stared at them in confusion. "Well I guess it's time for me to go. Could you give this to Belphegor-sama?" She asked handing him the tape. Looking at it puzzled Squalo turned it in all different directions. "And this." Leaning up she kissed the right hand man on the cheek. His face turned tomato red.
Opening the door Isaki turned back to Squalo. "By the way, tell Mammon I'll continue my research on his curse." Walking down the stairs she waited for an outburst.
"VOI how the hell am I repose to give that to him!" Smiling Isaki got into the car that was waiting for her. Buckling her seat belt the driver spun around to face her.
"Hello Miss Naizen, my names Casimiro, I'll be driving you to the academy and back when training it over."
"Hello." Nodding her head to him he turned back around. Staring out the window Isaki watched as the Varia mansion just seemed to disappear from view never to be seen again. Touching her cheek where she had been scratched the other day Isaki prayed everything would go well.
Happy Birthday Bel and Cockroach (Rasiel)
So I did this whole chapter like not even an hour ago. But I wanted a chapter out on Bel's Birthday.
Concerning a review I got last chapter I thought I'd answer it for everyone since it was a guest.
Review: I was wondering but why did Mammon believe in Isaki that she will be able to break the curse? Surely Mammon did some searches himself and still was not able to find the answer. Isaki is just a teenage girl who is younger than himself. So why?
Answer: Well I think I put it like that because I think Mammon has hope that he missed something. He can't be skilled in everything and know how everything works so I want him to believe maybe the thing he could have missed Isaki can find. Besides Mammon doesn't have to pay her or anything since she willingly took up the job/hunt out of pure curiousity.
