Chapter eight:

The next while of host club time has gone really well with nothing happening as Seika was pulled from school the day after the incident in the host club.

Haruhi is getting pretty comfortable only to walk into the host club room one day for club activities when she opens the door to find an entirely different landscape. "What in the world?" She steps a few steps inside glancing around the place that is shades of black, grey, and red. She swears that it looks like some fantasy pathway to hell with floating rocks that look like they have magma veins and a few older dingy looking buildings. She doesn't understand what is going on. She jumps with hands are placed on each shoulder. She looks to one side spotting Hikaru with his demon parts showing and to the other is Kaoru who also is showing his demon parts. "What is going on?" She questions to which the two snort.

"This is the path to Hell." Hikaru tells her with a slight eyeroll.

"Isn't that obvious?" Kaoru adds glancing away more so than doing the eyeroll.

"Well why is it here?" Haruhi presses the two. She yelps as she is pushed to stumble down the seemingly floating rocky path.

"You will see." Hikaru tells her as the twins stick close to her. "Just stay with us."

Haruhi glances over her shoulder seeing the school disappear like a swirling portal just closed. She turns to face the direction that can be considered forward as she swallows harshly. She can feel that it is hotter down here and she soon enough starts to see some others who don't look as human. She spots humanoid shaped creatures with red skin, demon tails, wings, plus the horns, hair of various styles, and clothes that either look slutty, gangster or more emo type style. She also spots some dog or wolf like dogs with red eyes who walk on two feet even wearing clothes. She guesses those dogs must be these Hellhounds that humans tend to fear. She turns away to try to focus on where they are going. She blinks as she is taken to a limo with a red pentagram put on the door with red jewels.

A demon with a broken horn on the left side opens the door to the limo. He is wearing some kind of butler looking outfit.

Hikaru gets in before Haruhi then Kaoru follows.

Haruhi glances to the twins while the driver does what he needs before getting the limo moving. "So. Want to tell me what is going on?" She questions the two who let out a breath at the same time.

"There is someone who wants to meet with you." Hikaru tells Haruhi seeming to be the one who is more willing to explaining what in the world is happening to Haruhi right now. "A descendant of one of the Ars Goetia, Stolas if you're curious which one, has called for an audience with you. It isn't something that we can just deny. Being that the Ars Goetia even their descendants out rank us. We'd be in deep trouble if we did. That's all we know right now."

Haruhi looks away and just hopes that this will be alright. She doesn't feel so sure that having the twins with her will help her in any way.

After a bit of driving the limo comes to a stop and the three are let out.

Haruhi looks upon a mansion that almost looks to be made of stone with plants that look like they'd fit in a Sci-Fi movie rather than being real. She tries to avoid one as some demon dressed as a servant tosses some meat into the mouth made of petals and sharp teeth of one of the plants.

The three are taken into the mansion and brought to what looks like a huge office with a library set behind the main desk.

The butler closes the door behind them and the desk chair turns to reveal someone who actually looks human.

The one sitting in the chair has a gold tiara on her head, silky looking auburn brown hair that goes to her mid back and frames her face nicely, mahogany eyes that almost seem to be able to tell everything about Haruhi with one glance, and she is wearing a navy blue flowing dress with the stars seeming twinkle then fade out on the dress. "Welcome!" She raises her hands showing that her skin seems to be tanned yet still white all over.

The twins lead Haruhi closer to the desk where the three stand before the other.

The woman or girl, Haruhi isn't fully sure her age, lowers her hands onto the desk. "I thought it might be a bit less weird for you if you saw me in my human look." She mentions before standing and walking around her desk to stand before Haruhi. Her lighter blue high heels clicking on the floor as she walks. "I must say that you have started to get a bit of a reputation down here."

Haruhi isn't sure if she should take this as good or bad. "May I ask why you summoned me here? Your highness?" She hopes that her politeness will be alright and not be taken in any bad way.

"Ah of course." The woman nods and grins at Haruhi. "Also call me Galaxia." She mentions and claps her hands. "I wanted to share some good news with you personally. I can get you an audience with one of the seven deadly sins! Not the one that you may have needed to get into contact with. However this could be beneficial for you."

Haruhi slightly glances to the twins upon hearing this.

The twins look unsure.

"What are you trying to get out of this?" Hikaru demands while Kaoru puts an arm out ready to keep Haruhi as safe as they can against such a high ranking demon.

Galaxia snorts at this. She puts a hand on her hip with a smirk dancing upon her lips. "You're cute. And totally understand where you're coming from. However this time I don't want anything. This girlie." She pats Haruhi's head with a widening smirk. "Already did me a favor. I want to return it even though she doesn't know what she did. Seika was really on my ass a lot." She puts both of her hands on her hips as she stands tall and proud. "This sweet human exposed that bitch and did it in a way that no one else would have been able to as quickly as she did. I can have some peace now that her true behaviours are exposed to be seen and she is in deep trouble. So, I consider that as something being done for me. I only wish to repay that." She walks around them heading for the door. "Now. Come." She gestures for them to follow her. "Beelzebub awaits. Be lucky that she tends to not be as busy as Asmodeus is. Hence it is easier to get an audience with her."

Haruhi does notice that the twins do relax upon hearing this. She is nudged to follow Galaxia. She can see in their gazes that it is better that she goes along with this. She follows the other with the twins going along with her.

They are once again taken to the limo this time with Galaxia sitting across from them.

Galaxia leans back with an arm up looking relaxed yet somehow still regal. "Now one thing you should know is that Beelzebub takes care of ruling the Hellhounds." She explains as Haruhi listens. "Just so no one else has to worry about the inner workings of any of that. Hellhounds are like pets here in Hell so someone needs to manage them. There is other pets but Hellhounds are very much more popular since they can do a lot more being able to talk and do stuff like we can basically." She waves it off. "Anyways, besides that part what you need to do is to not piss her or any Hellhounds there off. She is THE alpha of the large pack the Hellhounds are basically all part of. You don't want to step on the wrong side of things. Beelzebub turned the Hellhounds into like her own army who will do whatever she commands. Making others wish they had realized Hellhound potential. You wouldn't even be safe on the land the humans walk. Just let the demons handle this." She surrounds herself in a starry like glow of light that moves like a tornado forming around her then vanishes. Her body is no longer human with her face having turned to be more like a humanoid slender great horned owl. Her hair turned into a veil of feathers. Her eyes now just glowing red eye shapes. "You will be included in important parts. Don't you worry."

Haruhi hopes that this will end up turning out alright. She feels a lot of nervousness in her heart about this.
