Obey Me! one master to rule them all

the incredible disappearing doggy

"We're having a surprise inspection...!" Beel repeated as he looked for potential hiding spots for Luke.

"A surprise inspection? What do you mean?" Luke questioned as he tried to get a clearer response

"I mean exactly what I said. Lucifer shows up unannounced, and goes around checking each room to see if anyone is out past curfew"

"oh. In that case, all I have to do is hide, right? Maybe under the bed, or behind the curtains-" before Luke could say anymore Beel interrupted. "Oh no. You'll have to do WAY better than that. Lucifer does more than check to see if everyone's in their rooms. He also searches the inside of the room itself. Asmodeus had a witch that he's brought back home one night in his room. She transformed into a spider and hid, but Lucifer still found her."

Looking utterly shocked Luke then stammered "Wha...? Why does he have to go to such lengths? We didn't have anything like that at Purgatory Hall!"

Shaking his head Beel then sighed "That's because you don't have Lucifer living with you at Purgatory Hall. He originally started doing it because Mammon kept sneaking out after curfew and coming home late. And he'd hide stacks of unpaid bills in his room so no one could find them"

Letting out a disgusted moan Luke gritted his teeth "Ugh...Mammon, that IDIOT!"

"There will be time to blame Mammon later. Right now, you need to hide. Get inside the closet." opening the closet door Beel then ushered Luke inside to which he responded "What's the point of me hiding in the closet? I mean, you said he even found a witch that had transformed herself into a spider, right?!"

"Well, if you keep standing there doing nothing, he'll find you for sure. I'll think up some excuse to keep him from looking in there. Now hurry!"

Being forced towards the back of the closet and having the doors closed behind him Luke let out a scuffled moan "G'ah..mmph!"

Watching the door fly open suddenly both Beelzebub and Yuki froze in place as Lucifer stood menacingly in the door way "...All right... Inspection time." stepping foot in the room he then nodded approvingly "Beel, Yuki. I see you're both here." moving casually around the room he continued "I'm going to have a look through your room to be certain everything's in order here. But before I do, is there anything you'd like to tell me?"

Looking at Beel and then at Lucifer, Yuki gave a wide smile "Woof!" she then relaxed her body as Lucifer began to crack a smile "...I see. I heard a rumour that Beel has been keeping some sort of dog or a cat in here. But from that little 'woof!' you made just now, Yuki, I take it that you're trying to say that there's no pet at all... it was you all along."

"not at all, I just thought that it would relieve some tension in the room." seeing Beel edge closer to the closet Lucifer then glared at him "Beel, open up the closet."

"There's nothing in there but Belphie's clothes-"

"Didn't you hear me? OPEN IT"

Slowly reaching out towards the closet doors his arms began to shake. Placing his hands on the handles he slowly began to open the closet revealing the inside... where Luke was nowhere to be seen. Trying not to look too shocked both Beel and Yuki held their breath.

"Well, it seems you really aren't hiding a puppy in here. I guess it was only a rumour then. All right, that wraps up my inspection. Both of you make sure to go to bed early"

Watching Lucifer leave, Yuki exhaled her breath and looked towards Beel who had a concerned look on his face. "Luke disappeared, weird... I know I pushed him into the closet a minute ago. What's going on?" Walking towards the closet one thought crossed Yuki's mind where could Luke have gone?
