Nathair1: Thanks. Yeah, I got something planned for that in the next two chapters, maybe three. He just wants to be Demon King.
Enjoy the next chapter.
Iruma walked through the gates with Sullivan beside him, his attention on the golden band that dawned on his right middle finger. He looked up at the old demon and arched a brow, "Hey grandpa? Why aren't you completely drained after you fed my ring some of your magic?"
Sullivan smiled as he chuckled, "Don't worry about it, my darling grandson, your grandpa has plenty of magic left over."
Iruma hummed and nodded before the two of them heard a voice call from behind them, "Iruma-kins!" the two stopped and looked back to see Clara running towards them.
'Clara what's wrong? I thought you went home,' Clara ignored the connection as she continued to run towards them.
Clara stopped in front of the two of them and slightly panted before she straightened herself up, "Iruma-kins, mommy called and said she's taking Ran-Ran and Sin-Sin and Keebow and Konchie out for a few hours and Urara is with daddy so will it be alright if I come to your house for a while?"
Iruma looked at his adoptive grandfather and the High Ranking demon hummed and rubbed his chin, 'Clara, are they really out for the day or-'
'Yes, Iruma-kins, I know daddy said only on weekends, but I don't want to be alone, so please?'
Iruma inhaled slowly before looking at Sullivan and smiled, "Can she come over, grandpa?"
Sullivan inhaled slowly and smiled before he nodded, "I don't see why not, we'll take her home after dinner tonight," the two nodded before the three of them turned and walked away.

Clara and Iruma sat in Iruma's room, focusing on their homework before Clara looked up and slightly frowned, "Hey Iruma-kins?" Iruma looked up in confusion, "What was the human world like? Are you going to go back?"
Iruma sighed as he shook his head, "It sucked...at least from my perspective. My parents used me as bait to catch tuna, they used me to track a bear, to trick this dangerous group known as the Yakuza, a group of people who wouldn't think twice about killing you if you crossed them," Clara's eyes widened, "And then when I did go to school, the other students would treat me like a slave and would drop all the work on me...honestly the nicest that came out of that life was my parents sold me to grandpa and I got away from them for good," Clara bit her lip as tears began to build up behind her eyes as Iruma reached over and patted the top of her head, "And I'm not going back to the human world. I got grandpa and Opera and apparently we're married, so I'm not going to leave my wife,"
Clara jumped at him and wrapped her arms around him as she lightly shook and Iruma continued to pat the top of her head, "Hey, what's wrong, Clara? Why are you crying?"
"Your mommy and daddy were really mean to you, you could've died, Iruma-kins!" Iruma sighed and smiled as he rubbed Clara's back in an attempt to comfort her.

Clara, Iruma, Sullivan and Opera walked through the Noisy Forest as the moon began rising over the trees. Iruma looked at Clara and frowned as he saw her was down, 'Clara? Are you okay?' Clara looked up at him with glassy eyes, 'You're crying...what's wrong?'
'Your mommy and daddy did all of that to you...they're mean people, Iruma-kins,' Opera and Sullivan looked at the two in silence as the tow continued their connected conversation, 'Why would they do that to you? You're really nice and they shouldn't have done that to you,'
Iruma sighed as he reached over and patted the top of Clara's head. Clara looked at him with wide eyes as Iruma slightly smiled, "It's okay, Clara, grandpa adopted me and I got away from them for good and I'm not going to be returning to the human world," Sullivan and Opera looked at the two before the four of them continued to walk through the forest.

Clara watched from the window as Iruma walked away with Sullivan and Opera before she sighed and walked away. Alyssa approached her and saw the saddened expressions crossing her daughter's face, "What's wrong, Clara? Did you not have fun with Iruma today?"
"Mommy, Iruma-kins' mommy and daddy were very mean to him before he came down here...they almost got him killed and they didn't care," Alyssa frowned as her oldest daughter looked up and shook her head, "Iruma didn't seem upset about it, but...mommy, it was sad and-"
"Clara, the important is that Iruma got away and you have someone who cares about you and so does Iruma," Alyssa slightly smiled as she patted the top of Clara's head, "But if you still feel strongly about this, you can talk to him tomorrow night when you go there for the weekend," Clara sighed and nodded and Alyssa frowned as her eyes followed her before looking towards the window.

The three stepped into the mansion in silence as Opera closed the door. The two demons looked at Iruma and Sullivan hummed, "So grandson, what happened? What were you and Clara talking about?"
"You knew we were using our connection?"
"You two were awfully quiet during the travels, so we believe you two were," Opera answered.
Iruma sighed and nodded as he rubbed the back of his neck, "I told her what my life was like back in the human world and she got upset about it and asked if I were going to returned and I told her now, I wasn't going to because I don't have a reason to," the two nodded as Iruma yawned and began walking towards the stairs, "Well, I'm going to bed,"
Goodnight, grandson,"
"Pleasant dreams, sir," Iruma nodded and began walking up the stairs.
Enjoy.
