Beelzebub adventures chapter 13
One of the things Oga hated the most about whenever he and Furuichi slept in the same house, was the fact that the he never closed the bathroom door when taking a piss. The noise waking him up at the most inconvenient hours is the worst thing for any man who naturally struggled to sleep even in calm days.
Opening his eyes, Oga could not see much due to the curtains closing the window really well. Turning the lamp on the bed's headboard, he saw it was 8:00 am. Hilda, sitting on chair on the right side of the room, is reading a magazine lighting herself with another lamp to avoid bothering him. Noticing his movements, she started to question him.
''Tell that Moron-ichi to close that damn door if he doesn't want to be the next patient admitted in this hospital.'' Oga growled.
''But he's still sleeping, dumbass.'' Hilda growled back.
Looking at his left side, Oga stared at the white haired man moving in his sleep, lying on the sofa next to the window.
''Whatever, Alaindelon! Could you close that damn door? I don't need you to be my alarm clock now!'' Oga growled.
''Don't you notice something strange, you idiot?'' Hilda asked with a smirk. After a few instants, Oga realized the obvious and felt like a complete retard. After a while, his anger turned into disbelief.
''Why, why the hell did you leave the kid there alone, woman?'' Oga angrily asked.
''Come on, dad, I'm not that helpless.'' A small, shadowy figure started to come out from the bathroom. The spiky bangs on his hair and a semblance of bright angry eyes reminded him of someone who was not the person who was supposed to be there. When the kid finally came inside the reach of the light from the lamp, Oga could not believe his eyes.
''B..ba…baby Beel?'' Oga surprisingly says.
''The same as always, dad. Come on, aren't you going to tell me I look cool like this?'' Beel asks.
''But..but how?'' Oga wonders.
Oga gets off his bed and stared at a five year old version of himself, practically identical except for the paler skin, green hair, green eyes, and a small fang protruding on the right cheek of his mouth. His once naked body was now covered by a short hospital gown.
Slapping himself to wake up from what he thought was a dream, Oga struggled to understand how the baby who was sleeping on his chest the night before was no more. Furuichi started to wake up while Hilda started to explain him everything.
''He woke me up the same way like three hours ago. He scared the hell out of me when I heard someone walking down from your bed in the darkness. It was too early and I didn't want to disturb you, so I took him silently out of the room. Dr. Furcas and Lamia's started analyzing him as soon as they got over their surprise.'' Hilda calmly explained while Beel is sitting on her lap.
''And? That doesn't explain…''
''Hey, would you guys cut with the noi…what the hell!'' Furuichi shouted, almost falling from the sofa.
''Hi, Moron-ichi!'' Beel happily greeted.
….
''So, let's summarize this. When young demons spend too much time on Earth, their aging process gets pretty messed up due to the different levels of energy, sunlight and a lot of related stuff. That was the reason to why Beel wouldn't age in the five years he spent with Oga.'' Furuichi asks.
''That's right.'' Hilda nodded while sipping her coffee.
''And that might have affected you too…although you always looked like 5 years older than your real age. Would like to see your mother for a better comparison…''-Fuiruichi said while staring at her breasts. A death stare of the wet nurse was enough to make him regain his senses.- ''Whatever. What helped Beel to finally grow up was fusing with Oga for so many hours, due to the shared energies… and genes''
''Pretty much. It could be said that, in a way, he's both his second biological father…and mother, since the young master spend time inside of his body. The resemblance both now share is a result of that fusion, since part of Tatsumi's DNA got fused with young Kaiser's. The similarities in looks and personalities will very likely only become more pronounced as time passes.'' Hilda answered while cleaning Beel's mouth with a napkin.
''So, that does mean that lil' Nico will have to enter dad's body too?'' Beel asked.
''Well seems he will not inherit Oga's lack of brains. Yes, Master, eventually that might be the only way she doesn't get stuck in a baby body forever. It might bring up some funny side effects however.'' Hilda pointed out.
''Do you mean that…'' Furuichi's face darkened in disgust.
''Yeah, we will have to be careful during the process, unless Oga doesn't mind rocking a pair of lady lumps on his chest and getting his manliness smaller for a few days.'' Hilda says.
''Well, we already had to turn into chicks when rescuing Kanzaki…'' Furuichi had to struggle to repress the nosebleed and mixed feelings.
''Didn't feel too bad except for the itchy bra and the pain on my back. "That emptiness'' and walking were weird too.'' Oga said, staring at the ceiling with a calm face.
''Well, hope that teaches you a couple of things about understanding women, Oga. After all, you're going to raise a daughter and…well….'' Despite her confident smirk, Hilda couldn't avoid looking in another direction to hide her nerves.
''What else?'' Oga asked.
''My gosh, you're clueless. Anyway, how are the others?'' Furuichi wonders.
''They're good. Might come around at any moment, they should be awake by this time.'' Hilda says.
….
''Who's my little baby!? Who's my little baby, huh?!'' Yuka asked while smashing Beel with her embrace and cheek to cheek rubbing.
''Well, I'm no longer a baby and I don't know whom you're talking about, aunt Yuka.'' Beel made no effort to hide his annoyance.
The rest of the Ishiyama gang, along with Alaindelon and Lamia had come by to visit their King. None of them was able to avoid feeling amazed at the transformation of the little demon prince, who soon became the center of attention (and affection) of Yuka and the rest of the girls. Even Nene, who always did her best to reject anything related to relationships and motherhood, struggled to hide her feelings, smiling uneased. Beel's resemblance to Oga was also a strong matter of discussion and jokes, especially after Kunieda snatched him from Yuka's embrace to hold him herself, the young kid hugging her and smiling.
''Don't get jealous, Queen.'' Himekawa remarked.
"I'm not!" Kunieda says.
''Hey Oga, what are you waiting for? You already have a green-eyed kid with your ''first''. When are you having a black haired and blue-eyed one with your ''second?'' Himekawa commented with a roguish smile.
''Please, let me name him…or her! I know a lot of good names.'' Yuka added, grabbing Oga by the shoulder.
In the blink of an eye, two objects targeting the heads of both youngsters landed after a quick flight, making both down on the ground. Kunieda and Hilda, with red faces of anger stared at them furiously before staring nervously at each other. Kanzaki and Beel erupted in laughter.
After things calmed down and everything about Beel's aging was explained to them, it was the turn of the rest of the gang to explain their own situations. Several of the best doctors of the Underworld helped Dr. Furcas to extract the demonic genes and blood from the bodies of the youngsters. Despite the process being quite successful to the most part, their DNA had already absorbed a good deal of the unholy substances permanently. It was not going to impair or kill them, but it was going to alter their behavior and feelings from time to time in relatively dangerous ways. After all, what happened to them was not very different from what happened to Oga and Beel. They were bonded to young demons, which were later forced to fuse with their organisms through an energy link. In their case, however, the process was artificially accelerated, so their fusion was irrevocable. The demons, however, were still very alive, and could from time to time alter their behavior in animalistic fashion. This however, could be mitigated by taking a special medication Dr. Furcas would provide them on a regular basis. A positive side effect, however, was that their natural attributes and power were amped, a result similar to what Oga experienced.
''They said that was also one of the reason we're recovering so fast despite the massive blood transfusions and other crazy stuff we went through. Besides, it's great to feel that I'm a bit more buff.''-Natsume said while flexing his biceps, exposed through the hospital gown.-I feel so strong I might challenge Tojo to a hard spar one of this days.''
''You…normally don't brag about yourself, dude, are you ok?'' Shiroyama asked.
''I swear I feel so strong I can give wrestle Kanzaki senpai to a pretzel! My tits got a big bigger too.'' Yuka stopped only a feet away from Kanzaki', who backed a step annoyed, fondling her breasts before Nene stopped her with a Karate chop to her head. The curly redhead spoke.
''Anyway, we're most likely being discharged from this hospital by tomorrow and our parents sure are worrying about us. We better come up with a very good story for the moment we return home, or we're dead.'' Himekawa says, adjusting his glasses.
''My grandfather and his old friends sure made up an alibi for us, Nene, so don't worry too much about that. I'll worry more about training our new abilities so we're not caught off guard like this again. I'm sure my grandpa and Saotome sensei can help us with that. There's also this lady we met on this island…''
''Please don't mention the name of that bitch, Kunieda.'' Oga added with more than evident anger.
''We'll need as much help as we can get, idiot. Stop being childish.'' Kunieda barked.
''Who are you talking about, nee-san?'' Nene asked.
''She's Sao-bastard's resentful ex-fan girl. A crazy man-hating lady who lives alone with a hundred possessed dolls in a haunted island. I'm sure you'll like her." Oga replied.
''Would you shut up?!'' Everyone got horrified at the sudden reaction of Kunieda, who threw Beel as a projectile to Oga's head. Unable to dodge the flying kid, Oga received the full impact of the toddler in the face, getting knocked out. Regaining her senses, Kunieda soon got horrified too.
''That was so out of character…or wasn't it?'' Natsume's uneasy smile and chuckling seemed to alleviate the general tension for a few seconds before Hilda got up from her seat, a fire aura surrounding her.
''What's wrong with you?! How you dare to do that to my master! I'll have to knock some sense into your head again!'' Hilda angrily says, charging at Kunieda.
The gang members tried to get in the way to stop the catfight. In the blink of an eye, Oga suddenly appeared between both women, blitzing everyone. Holding both of them by the arms, his front hair bangs obscured his eyes. After staring at Hilda, her eyes wide open, calmed down, and lowered her guard. Staring at Kunieda in the same way, he would later grab her by the shoulders and look her in the eye. Remembering a very similar scene years before, Kunieda stared back at him, as mesmerized and resigned as the first time. Blood flowing from the cut on his forehead, Oga's answer would drop everyone's jaws to the floor.
''You listened to the doctor. That foul blood inside of you is making you act crazy. This was a false alarm. Remember to take your pills.'' Oga says.
After an apparent eternity of silence in the room, Natsume broke the silence, no longer able to repress his laughter.''That…that didn't sound good! My gosh, Oga, Hilda's right there! You're as bold as my grandpa when he's walking in front of schoolgirls with my grandma!''
A slow but progressive chuckle started to spread among the rest of the gang. Not wanting to act out of character either lit the last spark to detonate the bomb.
''Nee san, don't tell me you two…does he at least wears rubbers? Are you crazy?!'' Nene asked.
''Rubbers? Dad what is she talking about?'' Beel asked, getting down from the bed while rubbing his head.
The guys exploded in laughter, Chiaki, Lamia and Nene tried to hide theirs by covering their mouths, Hilda looked at them annoyed, Yuka looked around clueless… and Kunieda steamed through her scalp so hard that a small cloud was forming above her head.
''Bbbb….bbbaka…Bbbaka…BAAAKA! You never learn, right?'' Becoming a 17-year-old teen again, Kunieda ran out of the room squealing while Nene and Chiaki chased her to stop her.
''Ohh, don't tell her that the back of her gown is open!…'' Furuichi's nosebleed and lecherous babbling were stopped cold by a kick to his shin by Lamia.
Ignoring the others, Oga walked back to his bed, his cold face reflecting no other emotion than boredom. His inner self was dying of laughter and a kind of satisfaction he wanted no one else to know he could feel.
''No more acting out of character here.'' Oga thinks to himself.
