A/N: Here's it is. The second chapter. I'd like to thank jneth1lary88 for beta reading this chapter. I do not own Beelzebub or its characters. Just this plot.

Aftermath

Sleep hadn't come easily to the couple. Hilda had awakened almost every hour as she had dreams about her Young Master which would end up with her waking up screaming and sobbing into Oga's shirt. Oga woke up every time this happened and did his best to calm her down.

This was something new to the delinquent. It wasn't that he didn't know how to console someone. It just he had an image to keep up. No one would take him seriously if they knew he consoled girls. And he never thought he would have to console Hilda. The cold, calculated wet nurse definitely didn't need consoling before. But now that all changed.

After being woken up by Hilda a few more times Oga decided to abandon sleep and focused more on the consoling the ever breaking Hilda in his arms.

Mourning came and Hilda had finally been claimed by sleep. Oga lay in his bed with Hilda at his side. Her hands were clutching his shirt and her legs were entangled in his. Her hair was not up in it's regular bun as it was cascaded down her back and covering her face. Sometime during the night Hilda had gotten rid of her regular attire and now adorn one of Oga's black shirts that fell to about mid thigh on her. Oga had no idea when she had changed and honestly didn't care. He had a different problem on hand. He was hungry. So as slowly as possible as to not jostle Hilda too much and wake her up, he tried to escape Hilda's embrace.

As soon as he started moving though Hilda only strengthened the death grip she had on his shirt and started mumbling incoherently in her sleep. So Oga did the only other thing he could think of. He slowly picked her up bridal style. As he did this Hilda involuntarily buried her face into the crook of his neck. He got up off the bed and made his way to the kitchen. There he found his sister making breakfast so he sat down at the table with Hilda still sleeping in his lap.

Misaki noticed him enter the room carrying Hilda and raised a questioning eyebrow at him. He responded by shaking his head, as if saying 'don't ask'. So she just turned around and continued making breakfast for herself in silence until Oga spoke up.

"Hey sis, can you make us some breakfast?"

"Why can't you make it yourself?" she asked as she turned around to look at the couple.

"Well I would but Hilda won't let go of me." Oga stated bluntly.

"Sure, whatever." she said as she turned back around and continued to make breakfast for her and the couple. After she was done she set their plate down on the table and went into the living room to watch t.v. as she ate her breakfast.

Once Misaki had left the kitchen Oga lightly shook Hilda to wake her up. Her eyes fluttered open as she stirred and she immediately noticed that they were no longer in his room.

"Where are we?" she asked Oga as she wiped the sleep from her eyes.

"We're in the kitchen." he stated.

"Why?"

"To have something to eat."

She shook her head. "I'm not hungry." she whispered.

"Look, you have't eaten for a while, so please eat." he stated firmly but she could here the tiredness in his voice.

"No."

"Oi, don't make me force you to eat, because I will." He threatened half heartedly. He grabbed a piece of toast he handed it to her. "Eat it."

She took the toast and looked over to him. She saw something akin to worry in his eyes so she obliged. She started taking nibbles out of it as she unconsciously leaned into him. A comforting feeling washing over her as she sat in his lap.

She finished her toast as Oga finished his breakfast. He offered her another piece but she refused and laid her head on his shoulder. She yawned and made herself more comfortable on his lap.

Oga got up and started making his way back to his room carrying Hilda. As he passed by the living room Misaki asked a question he had been dreading.

"Hey Tatsumi, Where's Beel?"

At the mention of Beels name he felt Hilda stiffen in his arms then slowly start to quiver and she buried her face into his shoulder as tears started to stream down her cheeks once again.

Oga looked over to his sister grimacingly. "Long story. Don't really feel like telling it. Maybe later." He said before making his way up the stairs and to his room.

He entered his room and closed his door. He lay himself down onto his bed. As he did this Hilda uncoiled herself and rested her head on top of his chest with her face buried into his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and started to rub her back in slow moving circles to calm her down.

Eventually she fell asleep. He wiped the tears off her cheeks with his thumb. He started to lean forward, following a strange urge in his gut. He didn't know why but he for some reason he kept leaning forward. He kept leaning forward until he was just mere inches away from her forehead. Then he did something he never thought he'd ever do. He kissed her gently on her forehead.

When he moved back he thought he saw the faintest smile on her face. He covered her and himself with the blanket and slowly let sleep take over once again.

It was later in the day when Oga was awoken by a soft tapping on his door. He look over to see Lamia poking her head in and nodded his head at her.

She entered the room and saw that Oga was laying on his bed with his blanket over his torso. She started to wonder where Hilda was until she noticed a second pair of legs that were entangled with Oga's own and a small lump under the blanket on Oga's chest. She presumed Hilda was the lump under the blanket. "Is she..." she started but was cut off when Oga nodded his head.

Lamia had heard that the Demon Lord had went and gotten Master Beelze back. But when he returned Hilda wasn't with him so she asked him where she was. To her horror he told her that he had dismissed her and that she was still in the human world though he didn't know exactly where. So Lamia went to the first place she thought she would be. Which was the reason why she was here in Oga's room.

She was about to speak but Oga cut her off. He gestured toward the door and she nodded her head before heading back into the hallway. Oga slowly pried himself from Hilda's grasp keeping the sheet over her as to not disturb her from her sleep and made his way into the hallway leaving his door open only a crack.

"How is she?" Lamia asked after Oga entered the hallway. He only looked to the floor. "It's that bad isn't it?" She asked again to which he only nodded in response. "I just don't get it why the Demon Lord would do this. Hilda has always been a good mother to Beelze-sama. For him to do this to her... I just don't get it."

"Neither do I." Oga started. "First he sends his son to destroy the world with her then he comes to take him and tells her that she can't come back. All I can say is he's fucked in the head to do something so cruel to her." He finished. As he said this his hands unconsciously curled in to fist so tight all his knuckles were white. Lamia noticed this. She knew Oga would be mad but she didn't think he would be this mad. He must really care about her. Well I shouldn't doubt it since he's been taking care of her so far. Plus that time when she got stabbed he seemed just as agitated about it. Lamia thought to herself.

"Hey can you watch her while I go get something for us to eat?" Oga asked her. She nodded her head and he started towards the stairs and down to the kitchen.

Lamia entered his room and sat down with her feet under her in front of the bed. She looked at the lump under the covers. She would have never thought she would ever see her Hilda nee-sama like this. She felt tears at the edges of her eyes and fought hard not to cry. Why would he do this to her. She never did anything wrong. She loved Beelze-sama with all her heart. And now its been ripped to shreds. I hope Oga can help her... Lamia thought internally.

While she was lost in her thoughts, Lamia failed to noticed that Hilda had started moving. One of her hands seemed to be searching for something but was failing to find it. After thirty seconds of searching she finally rose into a sitting position to look around the bed for Oga. She started panicking, thinking that he had abandoned her. "Tatsumi?" She started calling out to him in hopes that it would get his attention where ever he was but got no answer back. Tears started to well in her eyes before she yelled out his name hysterically.

Lamia was interrupted from her inner thoughts when she heard Hilda call out to Oga but was too stunned by what she saw in front of her.

Oga heard Hilda screaming his name and promptly ran up to his room. As soon as he opened the door he was tackled to the ground by a blond blur. When he recovered he noticed Hilda was now straddling his waist sobbing into his shirt.

"Where'd you go?" Hilda asked in a shaky voice. She was looking at him with big, wide eyes. He noticed what he thought was fear in her eyes.

"I was just getting something from the kitchen." he told her honestly. He noticed that relief seemed to wash over her as she relaxed.

"Just promise me one thing." Hilda lowered her head until her bangs covered her face.. "Don't leave me." She looked back in his eyes and he could see a tinge of red on her cheeks.

Oga look up at her stunned and speechless. He wasn't expecting her to say that at all. He just numbly nodded his head at her.

Satisfied with his answer she laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

Lamia was stunned at the scene she just witnessed. She didn't think Oga could have such an effect on her Hilda nee-sama. But what she just witnessed proved that Oga was all that was holding her together. She watched as Oga tenderly wrapped his arms around her and carry her back to the bed. He laid back down on the bed and allowed Hilda to snuggle into his side before she fell back to sleep. She watch the pair for a few more minutes before leaving the room to give them some privacy.

Three days had past since Lamia's visit. During that time Alaindelon had dropped off few boxes filled with Hilda's stuff from the palace. Hilda had seemed to have calmed down to where she didn't cry anymore. She had lost all her enthusiasm and will do do anything. She opted to lay in Oga's bed with him most of the day. She only ever left the bed to eat or follow Oga where ever he went.

Oga had stayed home from school to take care of Hilda. His excuse was that he really didn't feel like facing anyone after what had happened four days ago.

The day had started off good as they went down to the kitchen to get breakfast. As the couple entered the kitchen they were greeted by Oga's parents. They were surprized to see them as they had been away on a trip. Oga just presumed they returned the previous night and didn't want to disturb him or Hilda. He sat down at the table with Hilda to his left. Oga's mother brought two plates from the counter and gave one to each and they both dug in to their plates respectively. His mother sat down beside his father and look at the couple knowingly.

Oga noticed this but thought nothing of it and finished the food on his plate. He waited till Hilda finished her plate before he took both their plates to the counter and proceeded to leave the room along with Hilda before they were stopped by his parents.

"Tatsumi, Hilda. We need to talk."
