Warning: Contains some foul language, and probably Oga acting OOC. You've been warned.
Disclaimer: yea if it's mine I'll add more arcs and scenes of Furuichi in it, so no, Beelzebub is not mine.
A/N: Oh man, I failed to fulfill my own promise. Damn it. I'm really sorry if I had disappointed you guys. Hope you people still want to read this continuation. I really, really, need a beta-reader. I'm not confident of my English, so please? Anyone? Please be my beta-reader?
Also, thank you so much for your continuous support! I was motivated to update the story after reading your reviews, people! I'm glad I'm not the only who aren't feeling sorry for hurting Furuichi (haha). It's just that Furuichi is really an underrated character but also serves an important role in the story, and yet not many of the other characters (or readers) care for this guy. If only more people could see how amazing Furuichi is.
I'll try to update it faster than once a year, so please bear with me and motivate me (if it's no trouble for you)!
And on to the story!
Remainder: Italic is thoughts and on some points stress signal for words.
Chapter 6: Retribution
The disgust that Kanzaki felt was indescribable. He felt numb and angry, for the bastard and for himself. How the heck did this happen?! was the question he kept repeating. As he watched his (allegedly) friend got molested, he, at least, expected himself to turn away, for respect and sympathy. Instead, he took a peek at Furuichi's sleeping figure and wonder how the naïve guy will survive from this. He then looked at Tojou, the other closed his eyes and tears run down from his rugged face. Tojou's face was a mix of shame, anger, and sadness. Kanzaki had expected that, Tojou was a sensitive man despite of his appearance. What intrigued his curiosity in that second was how Oga would react. And as he saw Oga carefully, he noticed the shaking.
"Oi, Oga," he called, wondering whether Oga was really trembling or not. To be honest, he could understand that Oga would tremble at the sight of his best friend being harassed, but he thought it was just so out of character. Nevertheless,
"Oga, oi!" Kanzaki called again, and now everyone noticed that Oga was shaking quite badly. And before anyone could comprehend, Oga threw the phone and had already hitting the wall a few times.
"Tojou! Kanzaki! Quick! Hold him down!" Kunieda shouted as she saw the cracks on the wall.
Hearing the order, both of the men quickly hold Oga down, but both quickly got punched down. Baby Beel at his shoulder was in some kind of a trance, hypnotized from the raw rage of his human-father. They could see some kind of an aura emitting from Beel, and it was menacing.
"Dammit Oga, snap out of it!" Kunieda yelled to no avail. A few seconds after that, when Oga locked his eyes on Furuichi, he stopped moving.
"Oga?" Kunieda called, unsure of what to do. Oga was looking at Furuichi with such focus that Kunieda doesn't know what to say, or whether to say anything at all. The look on Oga's face was calm, and yet the aura surrounding Baby Beel is still there. The atmosphere in the room was tense, no one moved, no one dared to agitate the demon inside Oga.
The quiet room suddenly filled with Oga's harsh breathing. He moved closer to the bed, to where Furuichi laid. There was a look of confusion on Oga's face before it changed to determination. Kunieda was struck by a realization that Oga didn't really perceive the rest of them. Oga usually kept a guarded face around everyone, but right now his emotions could easily be read from his face without a care of his image. This was probably Oga's honest feelings that got elicited by seeing his best friend laying in a hospital.
"Oi…" Himekawa called, betting his luck, but Oga didn't even seem to hear it. The rest of them looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
"Oga!" this time Kanzaki's the one who called him, and yet he still didn't seem to notice. And then abruptly, Oga walked towards the door, with a very intimidating aura, leaving the rest with goose bumps.
"Ooh, this will end badly." Tojou said, his face somewhat scared and happy. He knows for sure that whoever did this to Furuichi will die from the Oga's wrath.
"He's ruthless. When he's done with those bastards, we won't even get a turn to hit them for one punch," Kanzaki mused the chance those bastards will live.
"Wait, what are you talking about? Why did he suddenly go 'rage mode: on' like that?!" Nene was dumbfounded. The rest of them didn't see what the trio had seen, so they don't really understand the trigger of Oga's rage.
Kanzaki and Tojou exchanged glances. Then Kanzaki spoke,
"It was… the phone…" his face forlorn, "there was a video of Furuichi… almost got raped by one of the fuckers."
A sudden chill passed the room. Himekawa, Nene and Kunieda were stunned, to say the least. They didn't exactly know how to react.
"Give me the phone, if there's a chance, I could find out the sender of that… video." Himekawa silently stated.
Tojou picked up the broken phone. It wasn't damaged as much as he thought, Oga had missed stomping it, and instead making a huge dent on the floor.
"Do whatever you need to do, fast." Kunieda whispered when Himekawa got the phone from Tojou.
The room became silent. No one spoke, they simply stared with mixed feelings at the sleeping boy, with thousands thoughts flew through their minds.

Oga roamed around the streets, peacefully taking the whole surroundings and just stand there hearing the whispers and murmurs of passing walkers. He was surrounded with such dangerous impression that people started to chatter, but Oga paid them no mind. Oga was determined, he was dead serious in tracking the bastards.
"Baby Beel, I can't wait to meet those guys…" Oga silently whispered to the baby.
"Dabuh!" Baby Beel replied enthusiastically.
"Now, now, where should we begin?" he inquired as he looked the streets around him.
He carefully searched around the city, busting his hands through faces of delinquents who got in his way. He asked around, looking for a sign of the culprits or where Furuichi was taken to, and then beat the crap out of those who can't answer or simply disrespected him. A trail was made by heaps of unconscious body lay in the dark alleys as Oga kept searching for the bastards. The news of the rampaging Oga quickly reached Kunieda and the gang, as well as the ears of those Nasu's henchmen who were currently hiding in an alley, looking at their phones as they read the messages about Oga's rage.
"Oh. My. God. It's Oga. It really works! All we need to do is to mess with that pretty boy and he came lookin'!" The perverted one—the one who pushed his fingers down on Furuichi's throat—exclaimed.
"Wow, I didn't think it was true. But for Oga to search for us now, that wimp might be telling the truth when he said Oga was away," the batter, the one who kept choking Furuichi, commented. "But, oi, isn't it bad? Now that he came looking for us? They said he was rampaging, he beat the air out of everyone he came across to," his face paled.
"…" The leader was thinking. From the message, it seemed pretty horrible, Oga going around places knocking people with a calm baby on his shoulder. But this was what they had wanted, if they could bring Oga to Nasu, then all matters are settled. But the problems were: they didn't know where Nasu was nor how to lure Oga to Nasu. Dammit, I didn't think things through.
"So? What should we do now?" the perverted one asked. He became quite worried too after noticing the stillness of their leader.
"Tch. Let's not take credit for it. Shut your mouth and don't tell anyone that we beat up that wimp." The leader said, frustrated.
"Beat who?"
The sudden chilling voice made them turned their heads so fast it hurts their necks. In the dead alley, they were trapped with Oga standing on their only way to escape. Their faces fell simultaneously.
"No one. Get the hell away from us, Oga. We got nothing for you," the leader growled, trying to sound intimidating.
"It's pointless, whether you tell me or not, I will still kick your ass. So just spill it, who did you beat up?" Oga walked closer slowly, face horrifyingly blank with clothes stained by blood, and Beel at his shoulder looking agitated, ready to fight. It crossed Oga's mind that something about that guy's voice was awfully familiar.
"None of your damn business, asshole. Get the fuck out of here." It was that pervert's mistake for opening his mouth because his voice was quickly recognized by Oga and Beel. It was at that moment Beel looked at Oga, expressing his extreme disgust to the thugs, and Oga quickly respond with his demon smile.
"Lucky~" they saw Oga's grotesque grin and how dangerous the glints in his eyes. Before any of them could fathom it, Oga's fist had met with the pervert's face, breaking his nose in an instant, then as fast as lightning, he smashed the other two's faces consecutively.
Before they could even recover their senses, or at least put out an arm as a shield, they were quickly rained with punches and kicks with massive force. Unable to defend themselves, they became Oga's sandbag, then fell unconscious shortly. And yet Oga still beat them up mercilessly. The sound of flesh hitting flesh and bones cracking here and there could be heard clearly against the sound of rain that went down unnoticed by Oga.
The pervert, still agonizing over his broken nose, tried to slip out while Oga was busy with his comrades. Baby Beel saw him and the realization that he is screwed dawned on him. Seeing the pervert's face reminded Oga of that video, of his doings to his best friend. In his rage, Oga released a Zebul Blast against the bastard and send him knocking the wall that took his consciousness away. Oga took a slow stroll to his fallen body, picking him like a trash that he was, and planted his face on the wall repeatedly. Seeing the blood made him felt better, a sense of revenge he had accomplished for his bedridden friend. Letting him fall to the ground, Oga then kicked his torso and stepped on and broke his fingers that dared enter Furuichi's mouth. The cracking sound didn't disturb him, Oga was lost in his wrath and he felt satisfaction now that he had avenged Furuichi. He laughed like crazy as he continue to hit and kick him, mumbling things like 'you dare touch my Furuichi' and 'don't mind me as I beat the shit out of you' and such.
It wasn't long after that when he was suddenly hit with emptiness—it just whacked him right in the head. The misery he felt—realizing that even after he did all of this, it still won't erase what Furuichi had experienced—left him in greater anguish. He screamed out his agony as the rain washed away the blood, as well as his tears. He kept calling out Furuichi's name, but it resounded in vain until it was nothing but whispers and disappeared into nothingness. He heaved out everything on his stomach, feeling sick to the core. The truth was, he had failed him. He had failed.
After tracking the pervert's phone, the others arrived. They run when they heard Oga's broken howl, arriving at the site and saw the bloody havoc Oga had wreaked. Kunieda quickly asked Nene to call the ambulance, not letting their sorry lives ended so soon before she even had the chance to punish them. She then approached Oga, along with Kanzaki and Tojou, while Himekawa checking the critical bodies and nudged them with his foot to see if any of them was still awake.
"Oga…" Kunieda softly called him, Baby Beel on his side had calmed down, tapping lightly on Oga's shoulder as his way of calming his broken father.
Kanzaki and Tojou looked at the mess of body beside Oga, he looked far more damaged then the rest. "He's the one on the video?" Kanzaki asked, suddenly feeling angry, not an ounce of pity to the bloodied mess of the pervert.
"Dabuh!" Beel answered instead of Oga. Oga was silent, even at the touch of Kunieda's trying to gain his attention. Kanzaki held himself back by kicking the body once before putting his attention back to Oga and Kunieda. Tojou kicked the body away, and then do the same.
"Oga, come on, let's leave. I've called an ambulance, so we need to leave now," Kunieda speak softly, so delicately as if she was talking to Beel instead of Oga. Then she looked at Tojou and Kanzaki and signaled them to help Oga to stand up. "Come, now, let's get you home," Kunieda smiled, even though it didn't reach her eyes.
Tojou grabbed Oga's shoulder and pulled him up. Oga was silent and simply followed suit. His legs started to move, automatically walking to his home, to his room, filled with things he borrowed from Furuichi.
It pained Kunieda to see him like this, because she knew how much Furuichi mattered to him. In all the time she knew Oga, Furuichi was the one he relied on the most and the first person to put up with Oga's craziness. The top two most important people in Oga's life were probably Furuichi and Baby Beel. Kunieda had acknowledged long ago that if she had ended up with Oga, she'd be on second, if not, third string. And honestly, she wouldn't be satisfied with it so she never really tried to further her relationship with Oga.
"Hurry up, I heard the sirene," Nene called them. They then left the scene, but not before Himekawa gathered the perpetrators student ids.

A/N2: Did Oga's emotional turmoil come across okay? Oh, btw, would you reader kindly left some kind of idea on what to do when Furuichi does wake up? I want to compare notes because I'm not overly fond with my ideas. Once again, thank you, people!
