Chapter Fifteen: Capturing the Capturing God

"We're calling off the ESB," said Yuuko Kinoshita. She bowed, and exited the room. Once all were sure that she was out of earshot, Class F cheered. Without proper strategies and preparation, they would have gotten their butts handed to them.

"...What happened?" asked Yuuji, looking off into the far distance. One day they declare a war, the next day they call it off. Yuuji couldn't help but assume that Yuuko was planning something.

"I-I have no idea!" said Elsie a little too quickly. Akihisa quickly chastised her. The guilt on Elsie's face and the look of annoyance on Akihisa's gave a lot away, but without solid evidence, Yuuji couldn't confront them. Oh, the life and times of a class rep.

Of course, Keima was also observant. Once Elsie's guilt appeared, Mizuki's eyes darted towards Keima, and so did Minami's. Keima pocketed his PFP and pulled Haqua into the corner of the room. "Did you do the memory erasing procedure correctly? And if you did, did you erase Minami and Mizuki's memories?"

"Yes and yes," said Haqua. She still didn't like taking orders from a human, especially not Keima. "Why?"

"...Nothing." Keima, deciding to assess the danger level, approached the duo. "Hey Minami, Mizuki!"

"Rooftop, lunchtime," said Mizuki, her eyes that of a yandere. She exited the room, and was followed by Minami, who said, "Or else."

Keima sighed. What did he get himself into?

"I have a bad feeling about this," confessed Keima. They were in front of the stairway to the rooftop, and the boy was relaying orders. "Haqua and Elsie, please ready your Celestial Robes. Shiori, be ready to Summon, if needed, and Kanon, please ready your stun gun."

"What for?" asked Kanon. Since she wasn't in her Yandere form, she was a pacifist. She wouldn't... electrocute someone!

"You'll see, when the time comes," replied Keima, being a little too cryptic to Kanon's liking. Before she could ask Keima for a more specific answer, he added, "Hint: It won't be a person you'll be electrocuting."

Then Keima swung the doors open.

"Fuwafuwari, fuwafuwaru..." quietly sang Shouko Kirishima. After deleting her old "music" and putting some actual songs in her MP3 player, Shouko made it a habit to go to the rooftop to enjoy her tunes in solitude. She was on the side of the academy which had moss and grime (away from the rooftop entrance), but she liked it like that. It gave her some solitude from-

"Akihisa Yoshii!" Shouko whipped around, and saw some figures battling it out through words. Deciding to take a closer look, Shouko his behind a barricade, making sure she wasn't seen.

"Hey Minam- whoa!" exclaimed Keima. He was now a foot off the ground, Minami's fist balling up his collar. Her unoccupied hand twitched, and flew straight into Keima's face. He flew, but was caught by the ankle and was swung around, till he was eventually put into a headlock. Keima felt like what he would've felt like after he would accidentally look at Ms. "Haqua du Lot of Death Flags" naked. "What the heck-"

"What's the meaning of this!?" exclaimed Mizuki, and shoved the camcorder into Keima's face. A video played, which consisted of Youko Takahashi's capture on the rooftop. If you knew where and what to look for, you could barely make out a flying Elsie and a gigantic glass jar sucking in a phantasm à la Ghostbusters.

"I'd explain if you'd please get out-of-the-way," said Keima, struggling against Minami's hold. Mizuki backed away a little, holding the camera. And a jar of Jelly.

"You must tell us Akihisa," said the buxom pink-ette, "or else you may get hurt." This was accentuated by Minami squeezing harder. If Keima didn't act fast, he could risk losing consciousness.

"Kanon, get the camcorder!" cried Keima, as Elsie dropped the Celestial Robe's guise. Kanon dashed up to a defenseless Mizuki, and stabbed the camcorder with her stun gun. With a sizzle and a pop, the camcorder was finished. Before the two women could react, Haqua wiped their memory banks, making them faint. With a quiet nod from Keima, Shiori and Elsie dragged the girls away. Keima pinched the bridge of his nose.

Something didn't feel right.

"Let's go, Kanon, Haqua," said Keima, leading the girls downstairs. Once Shouko was sure they were gone, she got up from her makeshift hiding spot. She decided to keep the information secret till the time was right, unlike Minami and Mizuki.

She hoped she didn't have to use it at all.

"You owe me - no, all of us - a date," stated Haqua, hooking her arm around Keima, not unlike Minami. Kanon occupied the other side, while Elsie and Shiori took up the space in the back, ensuring that the Capturing God couldn't escape that way. Since their destination was in front, it would be fine if Keima were to run away in that direction. Basically, Keima Katsuragi was trapped. "Elsie has five tickets to a movie theater nearby, so you're taking all of us there!"

"Look Haqua! It's your pride as a New Devil!" exclaimed Keima, pointing to the side with the arm Kanon held. Haqua looked that way, screaming "Where!?" Keima pulled Kanon into a deep yet swift kiss, and gently shoved her aside, and dived into the conveniently placed forest. He ran away, and dove into a rut, which the others stepped over. Getting up, the unnoticed Keima continued gaming, till a cage fell on him. Keima struggled against the cold bonds, till he decided to save his energy. After a moment, a shadowy silhouette appeared, a huge weapon of sorts in hand. A ring came from the skull like accessory, and the figure picked it up, saying, "Yes, the God has fallen. We are bringing him to you now." Her sword started to spark, and she swung, electrocuting Keima.

The God of Conquest lost consciousness.

Fuwafuwari, fuwafuwaru: A line from a certain anime opening. If you can guess the song, you get a shout out, and maybe some other stuff. (Random, we must discuss this later.)

Well that's a rap. Hopefully this makes up for the mini-hiatus.
