Chapter 3: Chapter 3 : "Awesome! I'm Son Goku!"
Makima's eyes widened in surprise at the powerful blue beam that fired from the monkey's hands, obliterating the devil instantly.
Such a phenomenon was new to her, none of the devils she was aware of could produce such an attack.
Energy concentrated into his palms before being thrusted out into a devastating attack.
The young devil's body shivered in anticipation at controlling such a potential pet. Someone to answer at her every call, for her to play and treasure for as long as she wants.
For once, her anticipation got the better of her as the boy descended back down on his cloud.
Pointing a finger at him, she shot a white chain right at his head. But something unexpected had happened.
The monkey boy grabbed the chain before it could pierce his skull, staring at it weirdly. "Huh?
Is this the thing you used to save me? I'm not in danger anymore, so why did you shoot it at me?"
"Wh-what…?" Makima was once again stumped by this boy.
"Unless you want to fight?! I'm always up for a spar!" He declared happily as if he hadn't just engaged in battle with a dangerous creature or attacked.
"A-a spar? I just attacked you and you want to have a spar?" Makima questioned, disabling the chain.
The boy scratched the back of his head, smiling like a goof. "Well yeah! A lot of my friends attacked me when I first met them, so it's not a big deal! Hehe!"
"Friends? You think we're friends?"
"Yeah! You're pretty weird, but you fed me and I can feel that you're pretty strong! That means you're a pretty good person!" He laughed.
"Me? Good? I don't think a devil could classify as such. Nor do I have friends." Makima sighed, relaxing her body.
As much as she wanted to try again to control the monkey boy, it seems like it wouldn't be easy unless she wanted to end up in a huge fight.
Perhaps she should take him up on that spar just to see how strong this potential new pet of hers currently is. "Fine… I suppose we're…friends."
"Awesome! I'm Son Goku!" He jumped off his cloud, holding out his hand to her.
She slowly took his hand to return the handshake. "Makima. It's a pleasure to meet you, Son Goku."
"And soon, once you're under my full control, you'll realize that our relationship is truly much different from being friends."
"You were pretty weird, Mommy."
"Oh? You figured out the girl was me? I'm so proud of my smart little boy." Makima ruffled the boy's spiky hair that resembled his father's.
Goten giggled at her affectionate touch. "You're always talking about dogs, Mommy! It was easy to realize it was you! But who was the monkey-tailed boy?"
"Your Father."
"Woah?! I have one of those!"
"You…had one of those."
-----------
"So, what happens next, Mommy?" Goten asked.
"Hm…I believe I started showing your Father where I worked." Makima replied.
"The Division 4 building, right?!" He asked once more. When she nodded her head, the boy bounced in her lap. "I like visiting there! Old man Kishibe gives me candy sometimes and reminds me not to take candy from strangers."
Makima stared at her son, who stared back at her.
"How many times have you taken candy from strangers?"
"I've tried to, because I was hungry but then Nayuta would always hit me on the head for leaving her side after school."
While Makima wasn't too worried about her children's safety at times (The three of them are more than powerful enough to handle obstacles, human or Devil)
she was still grateful that Nayuta had inherited her smarts and common sense. Goten was so much like his father that she was worried he'd forget his own birthday if he wasn't reminded.
"Goten, please stick with your sister after school or I'll have to start sending someone to drop you both off at the division building until I'm done with work, okay?"
"Okay, Mommy!" He smiled brightly.
She was actually wondering if that stuck in his head. Well, she'll find out tomorrow if it did or not. Anyway, she had a story to continue. "Let's get on with the story."
"Yeah!"

Goku followed Makima through the buzzingly city after dealing with the Snake Devil. She had instructed him to leave the cloud to avoid attracting attention, but he didn't really understand why that was an issue. "Where are we going? Are we gonna eat more food?"
"No." She ignored the audible groan from her companion. The young devil didn't understand how he could still be hungry after all of that food he had just eaten. "We're heading to the Public Safety Devil Commission."
"Public bathroom commission?"
"No. The Public Safety Devil Commission." She calmly corrected him. "I have to report on the devil that was just killed by you since I was the only officer near the area.
" If she didn't report then she'd have to hear a boring lecture again, which was a pain in the ass.
"OH! So, your job is to kill those devil things?"
"Yes, or capture them to form contracts."
"Contracts?" Goku tilted his head, scrunching his face in thought. Makima turned around to stare at him, finding the sight of his brain trying to work amusing. Eventually Goku remembered the last time he heard that word. "Ah! Like getting a job!"
"Exactly."
"But you already have a job, right?"
"Yes, but Devil Hunters will form contracts with devils to enhance their strength in capturing or exterminating devils."
"Do you have a contract?"
"Hmmm…perhaps." She responded with a small smile. She turned and continued walking towards the HQ with a confused Goku tailing behind her. "Would you like to have a contract?"
"No way! I'm plenty strong without one! Besides, I like handling my fights by myself!" Goku flexed one of his arms, puffing air from his nostrils.
"Yes…your strength is quite extraordinary for a human." Makima still wasn't sure if the boy behind her was actually human.
No human she's ever heard of possessed a monkey tail and she was certain that he wasn't a devil. Which left her to wonder if the tail was simply a genetic mutation or he was some kind of alien.
