Tombstone: Hello again, guess who's brought you another chapter of Red to Black? Me of course.

Percephine: Hey! I'm writing it!

Tombstone: True, but you were also thinking of pushing it off until next month to focus more on the special chapter for the upcoming anniversary of The void within being first published.

Percephine: I was, but somebody wouldn't let me.

Tombstone: You're welcome everyone.

Percephine: Yeah, yeah. Please do the thing.

Tombstone: In the last chapter we learned that because Yuma is a demon he can't last more than a few months in the Zexal world without going mad from hunger.

" Is all off this really necessary? " Yuma said with an air of boredom back in Kaito's lab as Kaito took a blood sample.

Kaito gave a sign. " Yes, it is. Getting samples from you can help us analyze your energy and make it easier to pinpoint the world you came back from. "

" And trying to find a way to turn me back to ' normal ' " Yuma said with a smirk that showed he knew what they were planning.

" That is true. " Kaito said as he started loading up sample to near by computers. " But we are actually looking for the other because with how little time we have we might not be able to get you back to the way you were before time runs out. "

" Why make me human again? After all, if I wasn't a demon I would have been dead long before you even found the world I landed in. "

Kaito turned to look at Yuma. " Are you really okay with this? Stealing people's souls? "

Yuma raised an eyebrow and his smirk widens. " Are you really one to talk? "

Kaito gives a deep sigh. " Point taken. "

" Another thing, " Starts Yuma now looking extremely annoyed. " Do THEY have to be here? Yuma pointed his thumb to see Angela, Grell, and Undertaker getting samples as well nut further away while Yuma's friends and family sat and waited. Except for Anna who had her Bazooka aimed straight at Yuma. " Do you really have to keep that pointed at me? "

Anna looked at Yuma with a stern expression. " Yes. Last thing I need is you have another one of you fits and going after Angela again. "

" Well last I checked, " Yuma stated with a slight bit of aggression. " The only reason I lost control was because Angela threatened me.
Kaito raised his hand to stop the conversation. " Yes the ones that came with you from the other world need to be sample and tested as well since the ore samples to compare the easier to find he world you all traveled from. As for the others, they're just naturally worried about you. "

After a few minutes of silence Alit decided to break the tension by turning to Anna and asking, " Hey Anna, how did you two even end up meeting anyway? "

Anna kept her stance toward Yuma and said " Well I honestly found her wondering around lost one day and we she said she had nowhere to go I offered her to live with me since my parents are always away on business. "

" Angela hasn't seen you naked has she? " Yuma asked plainly.

" What!? No! " Anna screamed. " Why? "

" Because Angela is both a man and a woman. " Yuma stated.

" So like a hermaphrodite? " Vector asked confused.

" Hermaphrodite!? "Angela screamed in indignation. " I am no such thing! I am an angel that bares no real gender! "

" Or humility it seems. " Yuma said with a smirk.

Angela gave a slight growl before shouting, " Oh yeah? Well at least I didn't sleep with a nun! "

Everyone looked at Yuma shocked as Akari questioned in disbelief, " You had sex with a nun!? "

Yuma just looked bored as he answered, " Yes, although it was just to gather information on a case and I did keep my clothes on. I did the same thing later with a tiger tamer from a circus named Beast. "

" Did you keep your clothes on then too? " Asked Vector, earning a strange look from everyone. Vector just looked back at them and said, " What? Just asking. "

Yuma gave a little chuckle before saying, " Yes I did. Honestly the only time time humans saw me naked during my time with botchan, or since I became a demo really, was when someone attacked me from behind with a fire poker and I had to pretend I was murdered. "

" Someone tried to kill you? " Asked Mizal, obviously shocked.

" Of course. " Said Yuma as though it was obvious. " Since me and botchan are known for solving strange cases for the Queen. "

" Why did they have to take your clothes off though? " Asked Marin.

Yuma gave a sigh. " They were looking for a key to one of the mansion's locked rooms- "

" Wait! " Screamed Grell suddenly. " That brat and other humans got to see Bassy naked and I didn't!? " He seemed to neon the verge of tears. " That's not fair! "

Yuma picked a chair up and threw it at Grell. When Kaito glared at him Yuma simply gave a small smile and said, " My apologizes. " while giving a slight bow. " But as I was saying, the key to that particular room is another one I'd eaten, which botchan knew. "

" So why did he have you searched? " Asked Durbe

Yuma shrugged. " Who knows. Personally I think it's spite from all the tricks I've pulled on him. It would explain why he also kept slapping my face with his ring hand trying to ' wake me up ' when I ' died '. "

Gilag looked confused before asking, " Then why stay with him? If you ask me he sound like a- "

Yuma through a chair at Gilag before saying in a cold tone, " No one insults botchan. "

Instead of saying anything or giving Yuma another look Kaito just took all the chairs out of Yuma's reach and aid, " Well that's enough for today, you should go home and get ready for school. "

" Must I go? " Yuma said in a voice of sheer boredom.

" Yes." Said Akari and Yuma's parents at the same time.

" Alright. " Said Yuma. " But what about those two? " Said Yuma pointing at Grell and Undertaker. "

" I guess we'll take them in. " Said Shark. " Since we do have the room and some spare uniform since we can't just leave them alone all day. "

' I Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. ' Thought Yuma as they parted ways.

Tombstone: End of chapter and no major cliffhangers. I will be awaiting your comments praising me.

Percephine: Don't do it it will just feed his ego.

Tombstone: Excuse me?

Percephine: Not as fun when you're on the other side is it? :)

Tombstone: . . .

Percephine: That's what I thought. Don't forget to review! ^ ^
