I thought the heat outside was bad but inside Tatsumi's house was worse.

It's like a mini heat hell, with Furuichi in the garden inflating a kiddie pool with Tatsumi. I raised an eyebrow, about to open my mouth to ask loudly what in the fucking hell is happening and-

"Young Master has a summer fever," Hilda said shortly. Ah, Hilda my savior.

"But then why is the house so fucking hot?!" I cried, Dante on constant speed in my hands, fanning my hot (probably red, too) face. Hilda eyed me with a 'do-you-have-to-ask?' look.

Then it clicked.

Oh. Right. Demon. I mean baby demon.

"We inflated the pool!" Furuichi came in excitedly, eyeing the three of us. His eyes lit up when it landed on me. "Ah! Yuu-chan! Change into a swimsuit! We're gonna-"

"No."

"Aw, come on Yuu-chan-"

"No."

Misaki already moved to the hose to fill the kiddie pool with cold water. I walked to Beel, noting the increase in heat the nearer I went to him. I lifted him up.

...

...

"You're scorching hot, little guy..." His eyes aren't sparkling like the usual baby demon I'm used to, just unfocused eyes staring ahead. I frowned. "Hilda said it's gonna go away later," Tatsumi's voice softly said beside my ear. I jumped, hugging Beel unconciously to my chest (the heat emanating from the baby demon was uncomfortable) and turned around. Tatsumi was right behind me.

Like, seriously behind me. Just a few inches apart. "A-ah. Uh, okay." My heart thumped uncomfortably. What the fuck is wrong with me? I frowned, Beel unmoving on my chest. "Hey, Tatsumi..." I looked up to his face, only to see that his eyes were already on mine.

I choked (unintentionally, i swear there was some... dust that got... uh clogged up in my throat..?).

And pushed Beel (gently, sort of) to Tatsumi, stomping off to the gardens.

My face felt hotter.

"Fuckin summer heat..." I muttered. Tatsumi walked over and placed Beel in the kiddie pool, then placed his foot in it...

...Only to pull it out again.

"Instant boil," Furuichi commented.

I tilted my head, eyes immediately glued to Tatsumi's right hand.

There's no bloody tattoo to be found.


"Oy,"

A finger poked my cheek. I swatted the hand away, concentrating on wringing the cloth and wiped Beels' body with it.

"Oyaaa"

Another poke. I faced Tatsumi, an annoyed expression plastered on my face. "Shut up and sit your ass down, Tatsumi." His face fell, muttering a 'fine' and sat down quietly on the floor of his bedroom. Summer nights are a bit bearable then the heat on days... I sighed.

"Hey, Tatsumi," His face perked up.

He must be getting bored...

"I'm going home for the night but I'll come by tomorrow morning," I yawned, stretching my stiff body and glanced at Beel, who was dazed sitting on the floor. When night came, the heat emanating from him stopped, but the heat was trapped inside his little body instead, causing a milk bottle to explode all over the floor (the milk fucking boiled the instant it came in contact with Beel) when Hilda was feeding him earlier on.

Tatsumi frowned. "Fine. You want me to walk you home?" My eyebrow shot up at his odd offer. "Dude, no. Just take care of Beel. I'm off,"


"...What the fuck?"

"Oh, You're Oga Tatsumi's infamous bride aren't you?"

Pause.

So you must be confused. I mean, I just said 'wtf?!' out of the blue right? You see, as I was walking home, I encountered a weirdo who wears goddamn sunglasses in the middle of the fucking night, looking like a fucking wannabe gangsta with his dyed hair and choice of clothing. What girl wouldn't have a 'wtf?!' moment?

"Why the fuck are you wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night?"

He scrunched his nose. "...You are Oga's Infamou-"

"Can you even see? Like, are you blind or something?"

"...Um... I'm not.."

"You tryna hide your sharingan? If you're on Danzo's ROOT squad or some shit I swear I'm gonna poke your eyes-"

"GIRL I AM NOT ON DANZO'S SIDE! THIS IS NOT NARUTO FOR GODS SAKE"

"...Oh okay cool. Bye old man,"

"I'M NOT OLD I'M JUST A YEAR OLDER THAN YOU!"

That is too much for one day.


"Hilda and Beel are gone? Where?" I stopped throwing knives at targets. "Did you try to find them?"

"Nah, maybe they went back to hell or something. Anyway wanna- Wha-" The call ended with beeps. I scowled and shurgged, twirling my knife and throwing it at the target.

My phone rang again 13 minutes later, which I instantly picked up.

"Yuu, come to the river now."

"Furuichi? What's-"

"Now, Yuu," Before i get to ask more, he hung up.

Jeez, what is it with me getting ignored today?

/9 minutes later, by the river/

I came just when Tatsumi was about to fight some huge guy. I grabbed Furuichi who was staring stupidly at both of the delinquents. "Ah! Yuu-chan!" I glared.

"Spill the bananas, lover boy,"

Furuichi took a deep breath. "That huge guy is Toujou, and he has baby Beel, who is being held by that guy in the sunglasses. Oga is gonna fight Toujou and if Oga wins Toujou is gonna tell him where he found baby Beel. Got it?" I stared at him.

"Yeah. Totally. In short it's just a testosterone dominated fight," I shook my head. "Boys."

Furuichi gasped when a figure went flying in the river. I scowled. "Oi, oi, what's wrong? You're not done with just this right?" Carrot top taunted. Furuichi gaped like a fish at carrot top's display of strength while I rolled my eyes. Tatsumi emerged from the river, soaked...

...

...

Did my heart just skipped a beat? What the fuck? What is this feeling? I grabbed Furuichi's shoulder and hit my fist on my chest. The silver haired guy watched me with curious eyes. "Yuu-chan? Whats wrong?" My eyes latched on Tatsumi's soaked form which was walking nonchalantly towards carrot top. He looks good with wet hair...

Brown orbs clashed with my gray ones.

His hand briefly brushed my cheek.

The unknown feeling intensified. I gripped Furuichi's shoulder harder, while said person yelped in pain. With eyes still stuck on Tatsumi, I watched as Tatsumi approached Carrot Top and silently taunted him.

There it is again. The unknown feeling emerged again.

I clenched my teeth.

"Yuu-chan? You okay?" Snapping out of the momentary (yet disturbing) distraction, I looked at Furuichi, managing to grunt in acknowledgment. My eyes went back to Tatsumi who was punching Carrot Top.

Carrot Top actually flew back (What the fuck is wrong with me lately?).

"Toujou-san!" Sunglasses ran to him. "Don't get so worked up-" Carrot Top stood up "-Things've gotten interestin, right? Same for you too?"

Silence.

"He's on par with Oga.." Furuichi uttered, completely baffled by Carrot Top. Ah, they started punching again. My eye twitched. This situation is absolutely ridiculous. Are both of them simpletons? Tatsumi caught Carrot Top's fist and vice versa, both unable to get their fists free.

...

And both of them decided that head butting is an option.

...

Yeah, both of them are simpletons. They conversed for a bit, Carrot Top pushing Tatsumi away and explaining how he picked up Beel.

"It's not like you're his parent or anything right?" Carrot Top asked. "Actually he is..." I mumbled. "Like I said, I'm not asking about that!" Tatsumi gave him a right hook and continued to throw punches at Carrot top. That is, until he pulled away from Tatsumi, resulting in tearing his sleeve, and exposing a very, very familiar bloody tattoo. "I'm grateful... Thanks to you it seems I'll be able to get a little bit serious," Carrot Top said as he pulled back his fist "Let's go," My eyes widened. Tatsumi fucking flew far?!

WHERE ARE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS?! whAT THE FUCK? IS THIS FIGHT SUPPOSED TO HAVE NARUTO LOGIC?!

"Hmph. So that's all I can do huh?"

"No no no no!" It's not like that Toujou-san, He twinkled out just like a star!"

"YO DUDE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU FROM NARUTO-VERSE?! ARE YOU A CREATION OF THAT SNAKE SANNIN?!" I frantically ran to Carrot Top and shook him. "OR ARE YOU FROM HUNTER X HUNTER? NO HUMAN CAN DO A FEAT LIKE THAT!" Carrot Top blinked at me owlishly. "Look girl, I ain't from any of those things you mentioned. I'm just strong, that's all," He took Beel from Sunglasses, still watching me from the corner of his eyes. My eyes narrowed at his action. "Don't worry about your boyfriend, he just fell in the river, s'all. And tell him 'it was fun' for me would ya?"

My brain short circuited.


"You're thoroughly soaked," I pulled at Tatsumi's t-shirt. "I know," He grumbled. "Are you pissed? You're the only one who got wet in the fight," (Not that I mind) Tatsumi glanced at me and messed my hair up, pulling me closer to him so he could put his arm around my shoulders.

"What the shit Tatsumi," I grumbled.

"Sleepover my house tonight. Sis isn't gonna nag if you're sleeping over," I snorted. "Yeah, yeah, I'm your knight in shining armor when it comes to your family," I rolled my eyes as he grinned, opening the door to his house. "I'm home with Yuu,"

"You're late!" A familiar wet nurse/demon spoke. Tatsumi and I watched owlishly as Hilda nagged about Beel.

"Wait, I'm not the parent anymore right?" Tatsumi asked dumbly.

"You fool, with the way things are now, who other than you both could act as the young master's parents?"

"EH?!"


Omake: Flamethrower

"Hey, Tatsumi," I carelessly pulled his hair to get his attention. I was sprawled on his bed while he was laying on the floor. "What?" He looked up from his manga. "I was wondering about getting a flamethrower..." Tatsumi gave me 'the look' (that was specially reserved for when I spout random shit like this). "Yuu, no."

I pouted. "Why noooooooot?" He rolled his eyes. "You ain't gonna burn anyone Yuu. Damaged caused by your fists and weapons are completely acceptable, but you are NOT allowed to burn people,"

I scrunched my nose. "Lame ass,"

/A few days after, at school/

Sender : Tatsumi

I'm gonna be late. You go ahead, I'll catch up.

My lips twisted in a skewered smile. I dialed G's number. "Hey, G? Think you can send over that shiny new hot babe over? I've got some people just dying to feel her," G chuckled. "I'll be right over Yuu-chan,"

I coolly replaced my phone in my bag, casually eying the five delinquents in front of me. "So babe, like I was saying, you wanna hang out with us? We promise we ain't gonna hurt you," Delinquent #1 said, obviously eying me from head to toe. "No thanks, you shit fucks are way beneath me," I replied, foot impatiently tapping the floor. "The fuck did you say bitch?! You wanna get cut?!" Delinquent #4 yelled. I rolled my eyes. "Ugh, shut the fuck up already scum," Delinquent #5 started to move towards me. "Why you bit-"

G suddenly popped up beside me, nonchalantly slapping away Delinquent #5 as if he was a bug. "Ojou-sama, as you requested," My eyes sparkled at the sight of my shiny new flamethrower. The remaining four delinquents slowly backed away as I removed my bag pack and handed it to G, and shouldered the flamethrower.

I turned to the wall, pulling the trigger and successfully left a scorch mark on it.

"Hm? Where are you boys going? The party hasn't even started!" I cackled madly.

The delinquents screamed.


"Didn't I tell you no flamethrowers?" Tatsumi sighed.

"Maa, she looks perfectly content Tatsumi!" Dad laughed joyfully.

Tatsumi's eye twitched. "WE HAD TO BAIL HER OUT THE HOLDING CELL, JII-SAN!"

I grinned widely. "Totally worth the cell time,"
