Obey Me! one master to rule them all

the human everyone's talking about

Walking the halls of RAD she heard two students gossiping nearby. Slowing down her pace she decided to listen into their conversation.

"Hey, check it out. That's the human that everyone's been talking about. You think it's true what they say. That Mammon became a babysitter?"

"well, if so, then I'd say that actually works out great, doncha think? If we wait and strike when he's not paying attention, he'll never figure out it was us. C'mon, we should devour the human before Beel does"

Upon hearing their plans, it daunted on her that she was only human in a school FULL of demons. She couldn't help but feel isolated and frightened. Getting ready to run away from the gossiping demon she heard someone yell "Hey, you there" pausing for a moment she glanced around and saw a stranger looking directly at her. "who? Me?"

"That's right, I'm talking to you, the human with that frightened, tormented look on your face that demons love so much." the stranger walked closer towards Yuki and every demon in the area began to disperse like mice being hunted down by a predator. "You're practically screaming 'come and eat me! I'm scrumptious!' Your name's Yuki, isn't it?" holding out a D.D.D the stranger handed it out to her "This D.D.D. here belong to you, right? I saw you drop it just now." patting down her pockets Yuki then noticed that her D.D.D was missing and that this strange demon? Had a hold of it. "here, take it" taking the D.D.D off the stranger she could see that he was a student as well.

"Thank you... um... sorry, but what was your name?"

"haha. What's with that look? There's no need to be suspicious of me. My name's Solomon. I'm an exchange student from the human world, just like you. Nice to meet you, Yuki."

"How do you know my name?"

"you're probably not aware of this, but you're a bit of a celebrity here at RAD right now."

"I am? But I don't know why"

"Just being an exchange student from the human world makes you special enough. But on top of that, you've got an infamous demon like Mammon looking after you as well."

"he's not looking after me though.... all he did was take me to where I'm supposed to live for the year and left me alone.... I had to come here alone. ALONE. I couldn't even count how many demons were gawking at me like some sort of rare meal." just as she said that someone called Soloman over towards them. "... uh-oh, I'd better get going. See you around, Yuki. Take care of yourself"

"... Thanks" watching him slither past crowds of demons and vanish from view Yuki then began to climb a set of stairs heading to her class.

"Good morning, Yuki." stopping on the bottom landing of the stairs, she saw Lucifer slowly descending from the top staircase. He made it clear in his stature that he was searching the halls for demons who dared to think about breaking the rules. Standing motionless before him Yuki then held her breath hoping that she wouldn't get into trouble. "You've become quite the celebrity here, haven't you?" thinking about what to say to him she opened her mouth and greeted him back "Good morning, sir"

"looks like you made it through the night without being eaten. Good for you. Still, there's no guarantee that you'll make it to tomorrow."

"well hopefully I will" seeing Lucifer remove some dust off her shoulder he questioned "was that Solomon I saw you talking with earlier?"

"Solomon? .... ow! you mean the other human exchange student. Yeah, I was talking to him. If it wasn't for him, then I would've been targeted by two demons plotting to devour me" rubbing the back of her head, realization then hit her. "Wait, you were WATCHING me? And you didn't do ANYTHING to help! Man lucifer, here I thought you actually wanted the exchange program to work."

"You and he are the only two students from the human world here."

"well, he did say that he was human... but demons feared him."

"seeing as you're both human, it's fine if you associate with him, but know that he can't be trusted. He may be a mere human, but he has a ring imbued with wisdom, and he wields powerful magic. He's the type of man who will try to subjugate even a powerful, greater demon if he gets the chance."

"so, you're fearful of him and because I live with six of the most powerful demons here in RAD, you're worried that he may use me to get what he wants, right?" chuckling at her comment Lucifer then ran his fingers through her hair "What is it, Yuki? Is there something you want to ask me?"

thinking back to what Levi told her in his room so clearly Yuki then smirked.

"Lucifer has something that Mammon wants, something he'd kill to get."

"And what's that?"

"I'm referring to Mammon's credit card, which Lucifer took away from him." rolling her eyes slightly, Levi snapped at her "...Hey, I see that look on your face, and I know what you're thinking. 'a credit card? Pff. Why would he care so much about something like that?' well, you've got no idea just how much he depends on that thing. Let's see, what did he used to call it again? 'my one true love'? It was something like that. It was like he thought it was a woman. He probably named it. I bet he even slept with it. Gross. That idiot used it constantly. Never stopped. Eventually, Lucifer had enough of his behaviour, so he confiscated it. There's nothing Mammon wouldn't do if it meant getting his credit card back, I'm sure of it. So, listen up. I want you to talk to Lucifer and find out where he's hidden it. Of course, he can't suspect anything. You've got to be subtle, like it happened to come up naturally. Make sure you do a good job, or else!"

"I'd like to know more about Mammon."

Taken aback by her sudden interest in his younger brother Lucifer quickly composed himself "Mammon? Why do you want to know about him all of a sudden? Still, I guess it's only natural, considering he's the one assigned to look after you." thinking for a moment he then spoke "Mammon is my brother. I don't want to say anything unkind about him. So, I'll try to be sparing in my criticism" clearing his throat he continued "He's pure scum. The scummiest sort of scum. Pure unfiltered, disgusting scum to the point that I'm embarrassed to call him a fellow demon, much less my brother... so, any particular reason you asked, or were you just curious?"

"Well, I've tried talking to him but he just dismisses any questions I ask, so I thought, since you know him best...... what one thing is most important to Mammon?" without missing a beat Lucifer stated "That would be money. If you took all of his money away from him, what else would be left in his life? Nothing. Money can take a lot of different forms, of course. But regardless of the form, as long as Mammon has money, he'll spend it. There are no limits with him. So, in order to impose limits of my own, there's a certain form of money that I've frozen in his case..." Before finishing his sentence, the bell rang to indicate that classes were starting. "That's the first bell. Class is about to start. Time to get going. You'd better hurry too. You don't want to be late on your first day here." watching him leave her on the stairs she then slumped down on her knees. "Man, I almost blew it!" slowly getting up to her feet, she made her way to class. Finding a seat at the very back of the class and away from everyone else she then got out her borrowed text book and read over the notes.
