R&R

~1 week later~

I never thought he could do it. Suzuno thought as she watched Urushihara play with the kids, wearing the dragon costume that Kimmy had made. But he might just win this bet. She wiped her forehead with the sleeve on her kimono and looked at the thermometer that was on the wall; reading a temperature of almost ninety degrees. I hope he doesn't get heat stroke though.

"Uncle Urushihara," Alas=Ramus said as she climbed onto his back with the other kids either hanging off his arms or clinging to his legs trying to "slay the dragon". "Can we have some of the cupcakes that Ms. Kimmy made?"

"Sure thing kid." he said. "Hey who all wants cake?" he asked the other kids.

"I do!" they all shouted.

"Then follow me." he got the kids that were clinging to him off and they all went back inside for some cupcakes and ice cream.

Thankfully for Urushihara, Maou would be out for the entire day with Ashiya because Kimmy took them to the beach. But when her number flashed across the screen to his phone, he got worried.

After making sure the kids used the bathroom so there weren't any accidents, he let them watch a few episodes of "Hamtaro" off his computer as he went into the hallway to take the call. "What?" he asked.

"We got a problem." Kimmy said. "Remember how I told Maou and Ashiya that Chiho would be helping you out?"

"Please don't tell me she showed up." he said.

"She did, I'm trying to keep Maou out of her sight. But honestly though, you might want to end the party early. I can only do so much."

"Mr. Maou!" Chi called.

"We're dead." Kimmy said.

"Calm down." Urushihara said. "The kids' parents are coming to pick them up in half an hour. And they're watching cartoons." He peeked into the apartment and saw that the kids were still sitting there. "They'll be gone by the time you guys get back." He felt a strong impact to his chest and saw that two of the kids (there were ten in total) had tackled him. And Suzuno picked up his phone.

"He'll have to call you back." she said as more kids started to play with him like they did earlier.

"Excuse me," a woman said. She had brown hair that ended at her shoulders and wrinkles around her eyes; her clothes rather professional. "Can you please keep it down. Unlike you I have a life."

"Yeah, I'll keep that the next time I decide to cut work so I can f-"

"Urushihara, how about you and kids go play outside." Suzuno said, knowing Urushihara would swear if she didn't intervine.

Going outside, Urushihara let the kids play and tackle him the way they did earlier until their parents arrived to take them home. "Have a nice evening." he said as the last child left and Alas=Ramus yawned. "Getting tired kid?"

"Mmhmm," she nodded.

"Alright," he said, picking her up. "Come up here, big girl. It's nap time." He loaded her onto his back and gave her a piggyback ride upstairs and tucked her into Maou's bed before he got changed back into his original clothes and sat down at the table; his breaths rapid.

"Are you okay?" Suzuno asked.

"No," he panted. "My head hurts...I feel really hot...and I feel like...I'm going to throw up."

"That's what you get for running around outside in a dragon costume in ninety degree heat." she said as she got a bottle of water out of the fridge and got some pills. "And you forgot to take your perscription this morning."

"Don't...remind me." he said as she walked over and gave him the pills. "Thanks." He popped the pills into his mouth and drank half the bottle of water she had given him in less than three gulps as Maou, Ashiya, Emi, Chiho and Kimmy came in.

"You," Maou said, pointing at Urushihara. "Hallway, right now."

"Sorry Hara, I tried to stall him." Kimmy said as Emi checked on Alas=Ramus.

Once he got into the hallway, Maou slammed the door behind him. "What the hell were you thinking, canceling the reservations?" he growled.

I knew Ashiya would blame me. Urushihara thought before he sighed. "Maou," he said. "As much as I would say it was me, because that would be something I'd do; I didn't do this. You can even ask Suzuno, she'd tell you that Ashiya cancelled the reservations because you didn't tell him."

"Don't lie!" Maou shouted.

"I'm not lying." he said. "Ashiya was the one that cancelled the reservations. And keep your voice down, Alas=Ramus is sleeping."

"Lucifer," Maou said. "Out of all the stunts you have pulled during your stay here, this was the most inconsiderate. Thanks to you, I spent $400 dollars on the party, that never happened! And do you realize how bad that is, considering that the land lady raised our rent? And now, you're blaming it all on Ashiya when he had nothing to do with it."

"Daddy," Alas=Ramus said, rubbing sleep from her eyes. "What's going on?"

"It's nothing, honey." Maou said. "But you might want to say good bye to your uncle, because he's leaving. Tonight."

Urushihara went quiet and bit his lip, trying not to swear in front of her like he did once before. "Alas, sweetie." he said, his body shaking in anger. "Go watch cartoons."

"Okay," she said, going back to the computer as he followed her in and grabbed his coat, pulling on his shoes before he shoved Maou into the hallway and slammed the door behind him.

"Oh, so now you're getting an attitude." Maou said.

"Yeah, because I am sick and tired of not getting any respect. And the one time, the one fucking time I don't cause financial problems; the one time that I actually help you out, by keeping Alas=Ramus happy. I still get yelled at because apparently, I can't be trusted. But here's a newflash for you Satan, you had the chance back in Ente Isla, when you still had power, to kill me. But instead you kept me around."

"That's because I thought you would be useful." Maou said.

"Well, I guess you were wrong then." Urushihara said as he felt pain blossom through his chest. "And congratulations, you got your wish. I'm out of here." He turned and walked down the steps, pulling his coat on as he spread his wings and flew off.

~Later~

Damn Maou, Urushihara thought as he walked down the street, having used up all his energy flying away from the apartment. I tell him the truth, and I'm still the one getting in trouble. He growled and picked up a rock that was by his feet, throwing it at a car and watching as it hit off the hood and bounced into the street as his phone went off.

"What?!" he growled.

"Sounds like your still a little miffed." Kimmy said. "Calm down before your heart goes erratic."

Taking a deep breath, Urushihara put his forehead in his hand, he could actually feel his heart beating in his ears, and it wasn't going back to normal.

"Where are you?" Kimmy asked.

"Fifth street and Sixth Avenue." he said. "Why?"

"Because "Cheezy Chipmunk's Playhouse" is in that general area." she said. "And according to the news, they found a prostitution ring, a drug ring, and over ten dead bodies in the basement."

"What?!" he asked, flying into the air and searching for police lights, seeing them right where Kimmy said they were. "Woah, maybe it's a good thing that Ashiya cancelled that party." he said. "Who knows what else I could have been blamed for?"

"Hara," she snapped. "Rude."

"I know, I know." he said before he gasped in pain and dropped his phone, both his hands clutching his heart as he fell straight down and broke his arm in two places.

"Hara?" Kimmy asked, hearing his pained gasped over the phone. "Hara!"

Going to have to end it here. R&R. And I'm sorry, but I had to add the bit of drama to it.
