One review, LOL and from...the other author. Well, I continue to post because I figure someone will EVENTUALLY read this...in the far and distant future.

In the morning, Hifumi seemed to act as if nothing happened, and as usual was the first to arrive at work since Maki hadn't slept afraid of nightmares..the poor man didn't understand how Hufumi could get anyone in his bed when he so often failed to do so. Saigo followed him again, much less sore then after the sex. Now he felt fine, but his neck betrayed what had happened. Not only were they hicky's though, they were a spell, just in case something were to happen between them.

"Morning boss," Hifumi greeted pleasantly, which made him wary already and this amused Saigo imennsly. Hifumi was in a good mood at least. Saigo had finished more than the usual -even cleaning everything so that Taro would be afraid...though Maki might be too. Maki voiced his displeasure loudly, and Taro got even, as Hifumi offered the play-boy a soothing beverage that was an icky green color and bubbling. Saigo giggled at Maki's reaction to the bubbling something but turned red when Maki refused because the creepiest guy in the resturaunt could get such a 'Hot sounding chick' as he called it. Hifumi blinked and grinned at that.

"That's a secret~" Which meant NO ONE wanted to know. Saigo was very relieved that their activities the night before were not revealed, but had to scrub something in a corner until his face was less red. Halloween was a week away, and just like the day before, many turned up to see the decorations and so-called living devil prop, Saigo only moved when he knew no one was looking after all, and that really freaked out people...and made them come back to see it again usually bringing their friends, or strong boyfriends, and Hifumi soon needed to buy more supplies.

Of course they were more likely to send Maki or Shuta for supplies as they tended to damage things, and of course Maki didn't want to, but Hifumi easily persuaded him and Shuta to go and Jun tagged along too for the fun of it. Saigo was very amused by all of them and he was thoroughly enjoying this contract so far. He even managed to lose his virginity at last...after all, Devils usually lost it at thirteen or fourteen, meaning Saigo was at least two years late. Being a freak in Hell really put a damper on one's sex life.

It took a while, but eventually Jun made it back with everything they needed –though Maki and Shuta were still missing. Hifumi thanked him and the boy went back to work. Saigo was able to watch Hifumi a lot from his position, which was good. It was his job to defend Hifumi's life until the fates deemed he should di, and the contract they had signed told him the exact date...a long time from now.

When the other two finally made it back, Shuta just went to work, and Taro chewed Maki out for useless reasons as per usual. Closing was a simple ordeal with Saigo helping as he was a very efficient cleaner, and it was a bit of a surprise for the others that Taro seemed to dislike this.

"Let's go home," Hifumi smiled at Saigo when they were done. The devil nodded and for once Hifumi was leaving before the others since Saigo could clean so fast...and without the use of magic. Hifumi wondered what they'd do with his list of instructions for the next day's morning cakes as he had told them he was taking the next day off. Saigo did wonder why Hifumi had decided to let them manage, but he supposed it was none of his business.

Hifumi Minagawa always has a plan. And this time was no different as when they failed, the directions said to buy some cakes at stores that would be closed when they got there, as Hifumi was baking at him, and sending them out with crows to be delivered to the kitchen of the small cafe. It amused Saigo endlessly when he realized the plan.

"You really enjoy torturing them, don't you?" he commented.
"They are entertaining," Hifumi agreed, "and it is nice to give the boss a break too."
"Fair enough..." He agreed, as the man looked over-tired, "I suppose having to deal with that lot everyday would break him otherwise,"

"Oh yes, and that's not fair to his wife and daughter," Hifumi agreed. Saigo nodded and wondered if Hifumi would ever want children. Saigo was thinking from a human though, not himself of course. Hifumi had never troubled himself with the thought of it, and probably never would

"Hungry Saigo?"
"Hmm? Yes," he smiled.
"What would you like? Or would you like to cook?"
"I like your cooking," Saigo pouted.
"Very well, what would you like?" Hifumi smiled.
"Umm...anything~" he replied. Saigo didn't know much about the food on earth, and neither had Lucifer. As such, he had little experience to go off of, and the foods in Hell were quite different. They had no sugar or cakes for one thing.

"All right," It took no time for Hifumi to cook up some chicken another tenant had given him as a gift. Saigo was surprised by the flavour of the meat.
"It's delicious!" he exclaimed and ate it more than happily. The food in hell wasn't nearly this good.

"Glad you like," Hifumi said, and soon enough he went to bed. Saigo joined him, but it made him blush too as he was far too used to being an outcast. Things stayed relatively the same, for now anyways...a devil nearby meant angels would flock and make sure he tempted no one but the one he had contracted with, though the angel who went into the cafe first was female...and shockingly pretty at that.

Maki immediately went to her... It was like he was magnetized to pretty girls.
"Welcome, a table for one?" She frowned though and looked around, eyeing Saigo who disappeared into the kitchen as fast as he could move. She then glanced at Maki and frowned further.

"Yes," she said at last.
"Right this way, what can I grab you to drink?" Maki asked, happy to serve such a pretty young woman.
"Water." she said, her voice was very cold. Saigo hid near Hifumi, white-faced and silent.

"Saigo?" Hifumi was concerned, and Maki got the angel her water.
"Oi, Maki?" Saigo called when he went in the kitchen.
"Yes?" Maki blinked, also confused by the devil's odd behaviour.

"Trust me...don't try for...her" he gulped a little. She was a Malakim and would destroy Maki if he tried anything.
"Why? All beautiful women should have the courtesy to be flirted with and courted."
"She's dangerous," he warned and shivered, "she'd tear you to pieces if she could,"
"I don't believe that," Maki scoffed and soon he took the water back to her, "may I get you anything else?" She glanced at him.

"No," Her voice was like a dagger. Saigo remained in the kitchen, not about to go out there with her there.
"Well...I warned him," he mumbled.
"Let me know if you change your mind," Maki wasn't discouraged though, and kept on with his job, but he did try –and fail—to seduce her.

Eventually she left and only then did Saigo dare to leave the kitchen, though he was still pale. Everyone thought it was make-up, but Hifumi knew better, and when they were home alone he asked.

"So, who was she?"
"She's what's called a Malakim," he explained, "They are heavens police or military so to say, but they have no emotions. They would kill humans if they could...and they do unspeakable things to devils," he trailed off. He'd never seen one before today, only heard stories from those who escaped or where released after being dragged up to heaven. One had been missing a wing.

"Ah well, even if you had told Maki that, he wouldn't stop trying...It's a curse of his to flirt with something that walks and talks, has breasts, and breathes..." Hifumi sighed, and then added, "It's not my doing before you even ask."

"Oh, I know that," Saigo chuckled weakly, "At any rate, they can't touch me right now or I'd already be dead..." he shivered again.
"Is it because of the contract?" Hifumi asked and Saigo nodded.
"They can't touch humans either unless the human is stopping them from killing an non-contracted devil, but they left us alone before the second war," He said, so at least the rest of the cafe would not be in danger.

"That's good, for us, but bad if she comes by again."
"Oh...she'll be back. She won't be alone either, she wasn't this time. They want to stop me from corrupting anyone other than the person who contracted me," he assured.
"Will you?" Hifumi asked, because he could do his fair share too if it involved innocent humans. Saigo, however, shook his head no.

"No...I'd like to keep my life thanks," He said, and Hifumi hardly worried him. The angels on the other hand were often far worse than any devil ever had been.

"Good," Hifumi kissed his forehead, "now, would you like to try something called shrimp?" Saigo blinked, wondering how Hifumi had known he didn't know what most of this stuff was.

"Okay..." he agreed. It was his comment that he didn't care what Hifumi cooked that gave it away for the chef. Saigo found he liked shrimp, though so far he had yet to try something he didn't like. It would only be a matter of time, and afterwards, Hifumi treated him to a dessert that's not on the cafe menu.

Saigo's reaction was perfect too as he melted at the taste. He had a sweet tooth it seemed, which was good considering Hifumi's profession. Of course by the end he was able to focus on eating the treat a little more...seductively. Hifumi snickered at that, quickly realizing what the young Devil was trying to do.

"Don't overdo it Saigo." He murmured and Saigo blushed at being shot down but decided that he could let Hifumi initiate anything...unless he was reeeaaally horny which he wasn't. He went back to eating normally.

End of chapter. If there is anyone reading this though, a review really would be nice...
