Chapter Text
Another day alive is another day survived, at least that is what Mizuru believed. She had been in Devildom for about a month and already had she been threatened with murder more times than she could count, been involved in multiple, failed, swindles Mammon had blackmailed her into doing.
It had weighed on her, these brothers were the worst.
But really what else could she expect from them, human decency?!
Ha!
No.
Simeon and Luke hadn't been much help either, sure they weren't horrible to her but they didn't help make her situation any better either.
Solomon had been a bit of a friend to her but she knew he was only here because he wanted to put a leash on the demon brothers. Mizuru had considered helping him keep them under control but she knew that if Solomon had the opportunity he would ditch her at the first sign of danger.
She had met Angels and Demons (and Solomon), non of them made her time here easy so there was only one person she could turn to.
'God in heaven, I know you exist, I know you can hear me you dick.
If you sent me here for a reason than take me back right now. These fucking demons are making my life a living hell, literally.
I am this close to having a mental breakdown, them threatening to kill me or break my bones isn't exactly good for my emotionally unstable state of mind, right now.
If you won't do something soon I will be forced to take drastic measures.'
Mizuru waited two days after her bedtime prayer but no help came, she only caught a curious glance from Simeon and a judgemental one from Luke.
So, God wasn't going to help her either, huh?
Than it was time to take matters into her own hands. The anger and sheer spite that had piled up for a month had become too much, it had overpowered the fear and anxiety that those brothers instilled in her. She would make sure to make her time here a nightmare for them. Diavolo would regret kidnapping her.
For a month Mizuru began working out her plan, making sure everything was in place. That fateful day Mizuru woke up early, putting on her RAD uniform, tying her long, sleek black hair into a high ponytail. Her serious face framed by two long, thick, strands of hair, her golden eyes blazing from their sockets.
She was going to fuck their shit up so bad.
Her plan was already set in motion the moment most of the brothers walked into the dining room, ready for breakfast. They stared at Mizuru reading the daily paper not bothered by the surprised looks they gave her.
She didn't say good morning like she always tried to do, she didn't say anything to them in fact, only gulping down her coffee and eating the last of her toast.
She stood up, not excusing herself, and took off to school.
Once there, she seated herself behind her desk waiting for her first target.
Not that long after, Mammon appeared, apparently pissed at her.
"What do ya think you're doing, human?! I told you to walk with me to school, so you can carry my bag or do you want me to tell Lucifer you broke one of his rules?"
'Rules I broke because you tricked me into it.'
Without flinching Mizuru looked him straight in the eyes, anger making her pop a vein and said.
"Fuck off."
In the most calm way ever, that it took Mammon a few seconds to process.
His face contorted into an enraged scowl, how dare she say such a thing to the great Mammon!
"What the fuck did you just say to me you little-"
He was cut of by the ringing of the bell and their teacher telling them to sit down. Not wanting Lucifer to hear that he was in trouble at school again, Mammon temporarily soothed his anger to a simmer as he stomped over to his own desk.
This was going to be fun.
Mizuru went the rest of the day successfully avoiding Mammon and the other brothers, the Angels too didn't see her the whole day.
It was Solomon that did catch her on top of the RAD's roof, eating her lunch and flipping through an old looking book.
When the sorcerer got closer his eyebrows raised.
"You reading up on summoning magic?"
A grin spread across her face, had she always looked this intimidating?
"I thought it was time to broaden my skill set."
Solomon caught the subtext in her voice, he couldn't believe his ears, was this fearful girl showing some backbone after all?
"Don't let Lucifer catch you, he might think you'd want to bind him to you."
Unfazed by his sudden appearance, Mizuru closed the book, cleaning up her eating spot as she said.
"Oh, he would be right about that but he'll have to wait."
Solomon was thrown off by her radical change in demeanor.
"What?"
She looked at him, a challenge glinting in her eyes.
"His brother's will be the first, hopefully by than he will have enough sense to make the right choice but who knows. Maybe I want him to know his inescapable fate."
Solomon thought for a moment before deciding to bite.
"So, you've decided to make packts with them?"
A knowing smile formed on her face, making Solomon's chest tighten. Who was this girl? This wasn't the human who had feared taking a step out of line for a whole month. What had changed?
"Who says I'll negotiate with those demons?"
Solomon frowned.
"You can't force them, that's not how it works for you. You aren't a sorcerers you know? You aren't strong enough to just bind them by your words alone."
A mocking look came on Mizuru's face, he really thought that was going to stop her?
"And you seem to forget something, Solomon. I'll always be as powerful as them because I have something that they won't ever understand."
Solomon felt like he needed to chose his words very carefully, it felt like something big was set in motion.
"Why are you telling me this? I could report you too Diavolo or worse Lucifer."
"Haha! You can go ahead and do that but you won't."
"Why not?"
He seemed to fall for it like Mizuru knew he would, a sly smile on her lips.
"Because you and I can make a bet, or a deal of sorts."
Solomon looked at her surprised, he looked her over, trying to figure out her game, a hand rubbing his chin.
"What do you want?"
"Oh, I want to merely learn from the best about magic."
Mizuru said with a little flourish, Solomon snorted at her words.
"Flattery will get you nowhere."
He moved to leave but Mizuru didn't panic, she needed someone to teach her, she needed to make this deal with Solomon.
"Hear me out. Yes. I do want to bind the brothers by my words only, so I'm going to need your help doing just that."
Solomon had stopped, something in her voice had caught his attention, he didn't let her notice his interest in her proposal.
"This doesn't sound that interesting to me."
Mizuru continued, telling him what she wanted to accomplish.
"When I'm done with them, I will hand them over to you, free of charge."
Indeed Soloman wanted the same, he would also need help getting to the brothers, he hadn't accomplished that on his own.
"How can you guarantee me that they won't be....significantly...weaker by the time you're done with them?"
Mizuru had him, she knew it and he knew it.
She had watched Solomon for the past month, she had watched all of them, if she wanted to best them, she needed to understand them.
"I know that you can make magical contracts."
Solomon said nothing, just stared t her confused.
A snarky snarl came to Mizuru's face, he wasn't going to lie to her face that easily.
"Don't play koi with me, you run some shady business around here. Once you teach me how to make one, I will make a contract with you, so you can hold me accountable if they don't meet your standards. What do you say? "
She held out her hand, looking him in the eyes.
It unnerved Solomon with how much she had thought this out. She had ulterior motives, ones he didn't quite get and maybe aligned with some of his own but for now they needed eachothers help.
He took her hand.
"Us humans do need to stick together."
