Chapter 25: Day II: Part II

"Ne Oga..."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Are you sure you know where you are going?"

"Hmmm..." There was a long moment of silence before he turned his head around to look at her. "No clue."

"You mean we just been wandering around!" She yelled in shock.

"No...I was following Baby Beel's directions." He said while pointing up at Baby Beel.

"Dahboo!" He raised his small hand in response.

"You got to be kidding..." Aoi sighed and placed a hand on her forehead.

"By the way, how much longer do we have?" He asked. Aoi checked her watch.

"About an hour and a half."

"Tch...it would be better if she gave us a map or something."

"Yeah..." Aoi agreed.

"I mean how are we supposed to know if we are getting closer if all these demons we beat are weak as hell." He grumbled, scratching the back of his neck.

"What are you talking about? Didn't the last one make you use your Zebub Blast twice?"

"Oh that...I missed the first time."

"No...you got him square on the head." Aoi retorted.

"U-Urusai..." He pouted and continued to walk forward.

The two of them continued to walk deeper into the island. They fought countless other demons, which they were able to defeat. The clock was ticking as they continued this scavenger hunt given to them by Ikaruga. It wasn't long before they reached a temple like place and sure enough, in the center was a pedestal and on that pedestal, was a stone.

"Do you think this is it?" Oga asked looking at it.

"I think so..." She replied, unsure.

"Well...I hope it is otherwise I'm going to kill that woman..." He growled and reached his hand out to pick it up.

"Ah...wait a minute Oga..."

"Hmm?" He turned his head to look at her as she started searching for something. "What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to find something we could use to replace the stone in case something happens when we take it..."

"What are you talking about? Something like that won't happen, see?" He said and picked up the stone.

"Ah!" Aoi screamed and waited for something to happen. "Huh? Nothing."

"See...I told you..." Oga smirked and began tossing the stone up and down on his hand.

"Be careful..." Aoi told him.

"Calm down...it's not like some huge demon would come out if I break it or something..." He said with a boat load of confidence.

"Umm...Oga..."

"Hm?"

"T-Turn around..."

"Huh?" He did so and he was greeted by the large fangs of a wolf like demon. The wolf like demon had an eye patch over one of his eyes and a large scar going through it as he glared at Oga. His gray and black fur only made him look even more terrifying as drool started dripping down from his mouth. "What do you know...I was wrong..."

"WRAAAAHHHH!" The wolf demon roared and doing so caused a very powerful burst of wind that pushed Oga away.

"Crap!" He turned around and grabbed Aoi's hand to start running away.

"I told you something like this would happen!" His girlfriend shouted as she tried her best to keep up. She blushed slightly at the feeling of his hand on her wrist.

"Urusai!" He yelled as Baby Beel hung on tightly to Oga's hair, while cheering him on. The two ran for a while with the wolf demon never stopping or slowing down. "This is getting annoying..." Oga groaned. "Here! Hold on to this!" He yelled and gave her the stone.

"H-Hai!" She responded and took the stone.

"You bastard!" Oga clenched his fists tightly and it caused the Demon Lord's mark to expand. "Take this! Zebub Emblem!" The Demon Lord's mark appeared on the wolf and then he punched him, creating a large blast that destroyed the surroundings. Oga smirked, thinking he defeated the wolf demon, but that was not the case. The wolf demon suddenly appeared in front of Oga and swiped one of his claws at him.

"OGA!" Aoi screamed as she watched her boyfriend get three slashes in the chest. Luckily for Oga, his fast reflexes saved him as his shirt was the only thing that was slashed. He jumped back until he stood just a few feet from Aoi. "Oga! Are you okay?"

"Yeah...but damn this wolf is tough..."

"Dahboo!" Baby Beel raised his fist and shook it back and forth.

"What are you going to do, Oga?" She asked with a frown.

"Normally I would use Special Milk Time...but...

"But what?"

"I forgot it..."

"Are you kidding me?" She shouted in shock.

"Well there is one thing we could try..." He said.

"What?"

"I'm going to need your help." He turned to her and smirked. Aoi only blinked in confusion. "But first...we RUN!" He shouted and grabbed her wrist again and the two took off while the wolf demon chased after them. As they ran, Oga started to tell Aoi about his idea.

"But that's dangerous! What if I...?"

"I trust you."

"Huh?"

"I trust you, so let's do it." Aoi felt herself blush and her cheeks felt warm.

"A-Alright..." He nodded his head and looked back ahead of him. His eyes widened and put on the brakes as they were now cornered on top of a cliff. They looked back to see the wolf demon glaring at them.

"Let's do it then." He told Aoi and she nodded her head. She took out her wooden sword and prepared herself to initiate the plan. He clenched his fist as the mark expanded.

"Shingetsu Style: Nishiki Hyakka Midare Zakura!" Aoi shouted and swung her sword that allowed a burst of wind of sakura petals towards Oga. Oga started to run toward the wolf demon and the demon did as well. Oga jumped and with the help of Aoi's attack, he was pushed faster toward the demon. The back of his shirt started to rip as he moved.

"Take this! Zebub Emblem!" Oga shouted and by using the momentum from Aoi's attack, he punched the demon, creating a larger explosion which was enough to defeat the demon.

"Oga!" Aoi shouted, hoping her boyfriend was alright. She watched as he stood up and turned toward her. He smirked and raised his hand to give her a peace sign. She sighed in relief. Then, a sudden cracking sound was heard. Aoi was not sure what happened next, but she began falling. "Huh?" The cliff they were standing on, broke in half due to the explosion and the half that Aoi was standing on started to descend down toward the jungle below her. Suddenly, she felt strong arms wrap around around her. She didn't know if it was possible, but when she felt the arms wrap around her, she felt safe. She closed her eyes and basked into the warmth of the person as she forgot about what was happening.

When Oga saw the cliff start to fall with his girlfriend on it, his instincts kicked in and he rushed toward her. Without a moment of hesitation, he grabbed Baby Beel off of his head, put him in front of his chest and then wrapped his arms around Aoi. The three of them, then fell toward the jungle.

Aoi groaned as she started opening her eyes. She felt the same warm sensation she felt earlier and she wanted to know what it was. She blinked a few times before she was finally able to get her vision cleared. The first thing she saw was green hair. Then beyond the green hair was a torn up shirt. 'What the...' She then recognized both things and she raised her head to see an unconscious Baby Beel and Oga underneath her. "Oga! Beel-chan!" She screamed. She lifted herself up and felt Oga's arms fall to the side. "Oga! Beel-chan!" She cried and tried to shake the two awake. "Please! Please wake up!" She cried. She then heard a grumble and looked at Baby Beel who started to stir. "Beel-chan!" She called out to him with a smile, happy to see that he was waking up.

"Dah..." He spoke in a soft tone and rubbed his eyes. "Dahboo?" He questioned and looked around. When he saw Aoi with tears in her eyes, he tilted his head in confusion. "Dahboo?" She suddenly hugged him.

"I'm so glad you're okay!" She cried, holding onto him tightly.

"Dahboo?" Baby Beel asked confused. She softened the hug and Baby Beel looked around to find Oga. When he saw him on the ground below him. He smield and started to coo. However, when he didn't respond, he stopped and frowned. "Dahboo?" He then started to tear up.

"Ah! Don't cry Beel-chan! He's just asleep! Yeah that's it!" Beel looked up at her and he nodded his head. She smiled warmly at him and then looked back at Oga. She frowned and hoped he was okay. She looked around her and figured out what happened. She felt her chest tighten in worry. She looked at her watch and saw that it was an hour past the deadline. She frowned. 'No...I shouldn't even care about that right now...I have to make sure Oga is alright.'

Since Aoi didn't know how to get back to Ikaruga or had the strength to carry Oga back, she decided it was best to set up a campfire. She was glad all those trips she made with her Grandfather helped her during this time when her boyfriend was unconscious. Baby Beel and Aoi were now watching the campfire burn as Oga was laying down next to them.

Baby Beel looked at him with sad eyes, but kept strong knowing that he was going to be okay. After all, he was Oga. Aoi on the other hand couldn't help but blame herself for this. She knew it was dangerous, but she went ahead with it because she was happy that Oga told her he trusted her. It was because of that that Oga had to sacrifice his body to protect her and Baby Beel. She pulled her knees closer to her and wrapped her arms around her knees.

"Oga..." She whispered in fear that he was injured badly. 'Please...be okay...Oga...' Her prayers were answered as both of them heard a grunt and looked over to the man next to them. "Oga!"

"Dahboo!"

Oga slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw were the happy and tearful expressions by both Aoi and Baby Beel. He groaned as he felt pain throughout his body. "Ah man...what the hell happened?"

"You don't remember?" She asked.

"No..." He replied while trying to get up. He cringed in pain as he did so.

"Ah! No! Lay back down!" Aoi told her, placing her hands on his shoulders.

"It's fine..." He said and managed to sit up, despite the aching pain in his back. He sighed.

"Are you sure your okay?" She asked.

"Yeah...how about you two?" He asked.

"We're fine..." She sadly said, looking down at her hands.

"That's good..." He smiled and placed his hand on top of Baby Beel's head. "Looks like you didn't cry..."

"Dahboo!" Baby Beel nodded his head.

"I'm sorry..."

"Huh?" Oga looked to Aoi who had her head down and her body shook.

"It's all my fault..." She spoke. "If I..." Oga could see that she was about to cry.

"Baka..." Aoi raised her head to look at him with a confused expression on her face. "It's not your fault. I was the one who came up with the idea. If anyone should take the blame, it should be me." He told her.

"But..."

"No buts. It was not your fault and that's that. Besides, a boyfriend should take responsibility and protect his girlfriend...at least that's what Furuichi said...although I think he meant something else...something about responsibility..." Aoi couldn't help but smile at him.

"Ne Oga..." Oga turned his head to look at her. His eyes widened when she suddenly kissed him on the lips. Baby Beel cooed at the sight. When she pulled back, her face was red and she saw that Oga's cheek were also slightly red. She then put on a big smile. "Thank you...Oga..."

"Uhh...s-sure..."

Ikaruga smiled as she hid behind a tree, spying on the couple. When she saw the sudden explosion, she figured to check it out and by the time she got to where the three of them were, Oga started to wake up. "Not bad...Oga..." She whispered with a smile and then walked back to her vacation home. "I guess I could extend the deadline...just this once..."

It was morning when Oga, Aoi and Baby Beel returned to the vacation home. Aoi had Baby Beel wrapped in her arms as Oga walked with the help of a stick as his back was aching in pain. When Ikaruga saw them she smiled and waited for them to meet her in front of the house. "You know you two are late..."

"We know...sorry..." Aoi apologized for the three.

"Well it doesn't matter. It looks like you three had it rough so I'll let it slide." She told them and and they sighed in relief. "Now then...hand me the stone..."

"Right..." Aoi nodded and then looked at Oga. "Give it to her, Oga."

"Huh? I thought you had it."

"Eh?" There was silence between the four of them as a light breeze past by them.

"Don't tell me..." Ikaruga began..."...that you two...lost it..."

"We're sorry...you see a lot happened and..." Aoi tried to apologize.

"I see...well then...I guess I know your punishment then..." She smirked as the three of them gulped.

They were punished indeed as she forced the three of them to go back and look for the stone while being chased by a horde a monkey like demons, in which they couldn't fight back and monkeys that never tire out. To say the least, Oga and Aoi were left exhausted after they found the stone and brought it back. What else will happen during this training trip?
