A faint sound is the only thing that can be heard in the dark and narrow hallways. A girl wearing a black dress up to her knees with blue bow in her neck is walking down the hallway. She keeps on walking closer and closer to the end of the hallway where the sound is coming from. A big wooden door was the first thing that she saw. When she opened it, a big room greeted her view. Pale red lights coming from candles around the room are the only source of light. In the middle of the room is a large black grand piano where the calming sounds are coming from.

"Hey, would you please stop playing the piano."

After hearing what the person that entered the room said, the sound of the keys started to fade. It was quiet for a while until a red head girl wearing a black tuxedo with a red necktie started moving and looked at the girl beside the massive door.

"What's your problem, Umi?"

"Well this is hell for god's sake. If you want to play something then play a song that will suit the atmosphere of this place." Umi sighed as she walked closer to the red head. "Just stop playing the piano for a while, Maki. You've been here for 3 days straight. Go somewhere else, would you?"

"I'm really bored, you know?" Maki replied as she run her fingers at the top of the keys of the grand piano. "Humans are so boring. I don't want to go up there. They can be easily controlled. I don't think that they deserved the title of 'smartest species' on earth." She sighed.

Umi sat beside her and patted the stubborn pianist's head. "I can't argue with that though." And because of this, they didn't noticed the another presence in the room.

"And so… What do we got here?"

Both Umi and Maki looked at the direction of the door where a blonde girl stood wearing a black tuxedo but instead of pants, she's wearing a short skirt. The vest of the tuxedo was left unbuttoned so a plain white blouse is visible. She walked closer to the sitting girls and waited for them to answer her question.

"It's nothing." Maki tonelessly said, removing Umi's hand in her head. "Umi's only bugging me again."

"Bugging you? I'm just being considerate. I don't want you to die old here." Umi countered.

"I won't die. We're devils, Immortals. We don't die."

The blonde just sighed. Well they are devils after all. A high-ranked devils. They're the daughter of the ruler of hell, Satan. From whom? Well they really don't know. They're father said that they don't have any mother and were just created from fire and dust. They know how powerful their father so they just pushed the thoughts away. The red head girl is Maki, a devil who loves playing the piano and also the third daughter of Satan. She's the princess of Lies. The girl sitting beside her is Umi, the second daughter. She's the princess of violence but despite of being associated with violence, she doesn't start a fight with anyone unless it's necessary.

"So, when did you get back, Eli?" Umi said, ignoring what the girl beside her said.

"Just a while ago. I know that you guys would be in this place so I went straight here after I got back."

The last one is Eli, the one who will inherit the throne of their father. She'll be the next ruler of hell. She's known for being the princess of temptations.

"Any news about your stroll in the human world?"

"Still the same as before. But before that, I think I know what Maki needs." Eli muttered while pulling a rolled magazine from her pocket. The magazine has human pictures all over the cover. They are wearing stylish clothes. "This is what you need."

"If you are talking about clothing then I refuse." Maki sighed, rolling her eyes as if the statement that she said was obvious.

"No no no! I don't mean clothing." The blonde said now opening the magazine. "You need something to made fun of." She said smiling mischievously at the red head.

"Oh! I got your point. With that, Maki will be entertained and spend less time in this place." Umi agreed.

"What do you mean by 'something to made fun of'? What the hell was that? I don't understand."

"You know what I mean, silly."

"No. First of all, I'm not interested in doing that and second, I hate humans and their idiotic way of thinking."

"And that's why I brought this. We'll choose someone who tops all of the humans' interest."

"Urghh…"

"Just try this one out, Maki. We'll stop bothering you if you still think that it's boring." Umi said, getting the magazine from Eli and showing it Maki.

"Fine! But I'll just do this once, okay?" Maki grumbled, snatching the magazine from Umi's hand and starts scanning it. Stopping at a page where a girl is standing on swing. She's wearing a combination of pink and red color dress but it's mostly red. It's a valentine special photo of a famous idol.

Before Maki realized that she's been staring at the ruby eyes of the girl, Umi finally said something. "So that's your type huh?" She received a glare at Maki but the red head quickly turn her head away, maybe to hide her now blushing face.

"N-no! I'm just... captivated? By her eyes. Yes. I'm just captivated by her eye!" Maki stuttered as she struggled covering her face because of embarrassment.

"You suck at lying." Eli sighed. "You really suck at lying when you're flustered. Really now… How the fuck did you became a princess of lies?"

"Shu-shut up!

"Yazawa Nico… Oh~ She's the current No. 1 idol in Japan." Umi muttered as she continued reading the article attached in the picture. "She's also a famous singer. You have a nice taste, Maki. I'm quite proud of you."

"Fuck it. Let's just get this over with." Maki muttered, still hiding her blushing face.


The 3 devils are now in front of the No.1 Idol in Japan's changing room. The idol's concert just ended a minute ago. They manage to go there without even bumping into anyone. Well, no one should underestimate the power of devils.

"Remember to have fun ok?" Eli said, brushing dust from Maki's tuxedo.

"We'll just wait for you outside." Umi muttered.

"Yeah… I'll just make it quick." Maki sighed as she reached for the knob of the door. It's locked but if you are a devil, nothing's really locked. She twisted it once again and the door opened. Umi and Eli are nowhere to be found now so she just entered the room, slowly closing the door behind her.

The room is pitched black but she felt a presence inside it. Her theory was proven right when an object came flying her way and hit her in the face.

"Who's there?!" the girl cried. "How did you get inside of Nico's changing room?"

Maki just sighed. Oh great, was the first thing she thought. She picked a stubborn one. Maki came closer at the girl, making her power of use. She grabbed the girl's wrist and pinned the idol in the nearby wall. A faint lamp shade is the only source of light in room so she really can't see the expression of the petite idol. But one thing's for sure, the idol is nude. She's just holding a small cloth covering her chest part to her thighs.

"W-who are you? W-what are you going to do to me?" Nico mumbled as she holds her own tears from flowing.

"Heh… You sound like a kid." Maki said making her face closer to the pinned girl but before she could, she was kicked in the stomach. She let go of the idol's wrist and step backwards. She didn't expect a fatal blow from a small petite girl to be that hard.

"Who are you calling 'a kid'?!" Nico shouted, glaring at Maki.

"Woah… You surprisingly have a nice body." Was the only words she could say while staring at Nico's uncovered body. Even though it's dark in the room, Maki could see the flustered and now overheating face of Nico.

Nico, once again, covered her body with the cloth she's holding and manage to shout "Y-Y-YOU PERVE-" but was cut off by Maki who tackled her. It resulted for Nico to be lying in the ground and trapped by Maki's arms. She could now see the amethyst eyes of red head. It made her speechless. She felt Maki, plant kisses in her neck but she didn't resist for some reason.

"What should I do to quiet you down?" Maki muttered as she sat up and took her tuxedo's vest off and loosen her red tie. Nico just closed her eyes preparing for something to happen until she heard the words. "Sit up."

"E-eh?" Nico stuttered, obeying what the red head said. Maki put her vest in Nico's shoulder and stood up. Maki went to the nearby window and opened it, letting the wind enter the room. It became brighter because of the moonlight making Maki's hair stand out as if it's blazing.

"I sensed a presence heading this way. Too bad, I can't do anything to your small body." Maki sighed then made an eye contact with Nico. She's really captivated by the idol's ruby eyes. "It's quite cold tonight so I'm lending you my vest for now. We'll meet again Nico-chan." She said then jumped out of the window.

Nico was still speechless and was also stunned of what just happened until the light of the room opened. A dark brown haired girl entered the room; panic can be visibly seen in her face.

"Nico, what happened here?" She asked while running towards Nico. "Why is the door opened? Where did that vest came from? Are you okay?" She continually asked.

"I-I'm fine…" Nico muttered still staring at the opened window, still thinking of the red hair girl with a beautiful pair of amethyst eyes. Nico touched her neck and mumbled, "Shit, what just happened?"


"Hey Eli… You purposely chose a magazine with a picture of that 'Yazawa Nico' didn't you?" Umi muttered as they watch people passing by outside the company of the mentioned idol.

"I guess hehe~" The blonde giggled.

"So what are we gonna do now? Knowing Maki, she might be bullying the idol by now."

"Then, do you want to stroll separately?"

"No objection." Umi said, walking away from Eli. She blends in with the crowd and start wondering in the human world. She's really amazed in this place. She likes how the different lights blend with each other. How the people talk and chat comfortably with one another. It's the vice versa of the quiet hell she had grown of. Sometimes she would wonder what kind of life she would be living if she's one of the humans, one of those who can't see the darkness in the world.

She really can't blame Maki for hating humans. Humans are the reason why the Earth is suffering. They're selfish and irresponsible, people who only think of themselves. They won't give a shit about anything as long as it doesn't concern their own lives. Doing bad things to survive life then blaming it into others. That's how living like a human is. But Umi knows that all of these are parts of the seasonings of life. Humans should know how to balance it. But the seasonings of Umi's life as a demon are the damages and mistakes these humans make.

Still lost in thoughts, Umi keeps on walking and reached a part of the city with no one's around. Darkness was once again surrounding her. She's about to leave when she heard someone.

"Keep quiet! Or else we're gonna hurt you!"

"D-don't… Please…"

Umi went to the source of the voices, knowing what's already happening. Two men that look like in their mid-twenties are holding a girl wearing a blue blouse and a short black skirt. Her grayish-brown hair was messed up because of the struggles she's doing to escape. As the princess of violence, Umi just watched the scene, doing nothing. She's about to go back when she heard a loud 'thud'. The girl is now lying in the ground with one of the men on top of her, unbuttoning her blouse. The girl couldn't do anything. She just laid there crying as one of the men cover her mouth to restrain her from shouting, when the man starts moving closer to place kisses on the girls face. Umi punched him the face.

She also doesn't know what she's doing but after seeing the man attempting to kiss the innocent girl, her blood boils and finally snapped and sent the man flying. She glared at the other man on top of the girl and muttered a simple. "Fuck off." The man was intimidated by Umi's stare so he just stayed there looking at her, not knowing what to do.

"You heard me, right?! I told you to fuck off or else I'm gonna show you what hell looks like!" Umi growled, making the man run out screaming with the other man following him. Realizing what she just did, Umi sighed and took a glance at the girl below her.

"Are you okay?" was the only words Umi can say.

Even though the girl is still worn off, she managed to say a "Thank you, I'm fine.", in response to Umi's actions and question. The girl began to button up her blouse again and stood up to face Umi.

"I-I'm really sorry if I dragged you into this and also thank you very much for saving me." The girl said, bowing. "I'm Minami Kotori, you can call me Kotori. Would you please tell me your name?"

"Umi…" Umi muttered hesitantly. "Sonoda Umi." The name she made so that she would sound like a normal human. She really doesn't know what gotten into her to use the surname 'Sonoda'. After all, it's a surname from a human she killed before.

"I'm really thankful of you, Umi-san." Kotori said, bowing her head once again.

"No need to thank me. It's not really a big deal." Umi said, walking away from the girl. "Well then I'll be going now."

"Uhmm Wait!" Kotori called out. "I know it may sound like it's obvious but… I'm kinda lost. Uhmm… Can you please help me find the place I'm heading to?"

Umi once again sighed. She knows this would happen and tried to avoid any connection to the lost girl but because of her previous action, she just triggered this event. "Ok then…" She said, walking closer to the girl and scanned her from her feet to her head.

"DS company huh?" She mumbled but much to her misfortune, Kotori heard her.

"H-how did you know?" Kotori asked, her eyes now widely staring at Umi with disbelief.

"Quite obvious with the way you dress." She lied but of course Kotori wouldn't notice. Really now, she should just take the position of 'princess of lies' away from Maki, but she knows that there's a reason for Maki to be the ruler of it. "You're a designer, aren't you? Just follow me, I'm gonna show you the way."

Kotori just nodded, still shocked at what Umi said and followed the blue haired girl through the crowds of people. Umi stayed at the front and Kotori stayed following her, silence filling their atmosphere. Until they reached the company, Umi mentioned. It's the same company where they left Maki to play with Nico, but now Eli is not around.

"Thank you very much." Kotori said, breaking the silence between them. "Y-you helped me a lot tonight and I promise to make up with you next time."

"I told you, it's really not big of a deal." Umi said, trying to sound as normal as possible.

"B-but, I really want to do something for you too." Kotori stuttered. "Why don't we meet up sometimes? Is tomorrow o-okay to you?" She mumbled a faint blush visible on her cheeks.

"If you insist then fine. Let's meet up here tomorrow at six o'clock. A dinner is enough." Umi sighed, just wanting the conversation to end.

"O-okay! It will be my treat then." Kotori beamed. "Then, see you tomorrow, Umi-san." She bowed and went inside the company's building.

Umi decided to wait outside the building for the two princesses, wave of thoughts now forming in her mind. Just why the hell did she save that darn girl from those fucking men.


The blonde sighed, walking on a nearby park trying to enjoy the silence filling the air once again. She knows that it will take some time for her two sisters to get back in front of the building she came from. It's almost midnight so maybe a lesser number of people sitting in the park are already expected, until a certain girl caught her interest. A girl with a pair of emerald eyes and violet hair is sitting in the nearby bench. She's currently… playing with her cards. She sat beside the girl and stared at the cards she's holding.

"What are you doing?" Eli asked as she continued scanning the cards.

"Fortune telling." The girl replied as if she's not surprised of the blonde's presence beside her.

"Heh?~ So who's fortune are you reading now?"

The girl stood up and glared at Eli and muttered "Don't talk to me as if we're close friends." Her actions made Eli smirked and bend over so that her elbow can reach her knees and rest her chin in her palm.

"Don't be like that… Nozomi." Eli said, making an eye contact with the girl. "It's been so long since we see each other again."

"Don't you dare say my name."

"But I like your name Nozomi." The princess teased still wearing the smirk in her face.

"Look… I don't want anything to do with a devil, especially if she's the next one who will soon inherit the throne in hell." Nozomi said, keeping her cards and starts walking away from Eli. The blonde stood up and followed the girl.

"So you still remember me huh?"

After hearing these words, Nozomi faced Eli again and made an eye contact. "How will I for-" were the only words she could say before Eli pressed her lips in hers. She struggled to break the kiss but it only resulted for Eli to deepen it. She knows that she can't win a battle of strength with a devil. After a few minutes, but felt like hours to her, Eli finally broke the kiss; wearing the smirk she had a few minutes ago. Nozomi just stared at her until she realized what the blonde did. She instantly covers her lips and runs away from the one that initiated the kiss. Seeing how Nozomi acted, Eli just smiled there and watched the girl run away.

"An angel's lips tasted better than I expected."


"Hey, Umi!" Maki called out, running towards the direction of the blue haired girl. She just received a "You're late." from Umi who didn't even took a glance at Maki. Maki stopped when she reached the place where Umi is standing. Even a single drop of sweat didn't fell from her face.

"So how did it go?" Umi muttered, facing the girl standing beside her.

"What's the point of asking if you already know the answer?"

Umi just giggled at the red head's reply. Maki sighed and put her hands in her pockets. Silence begins to form between them but was quickly broken when a blonde arrived.

"You must be disappointed Maki" Eli said looking at the red head.

"Not really." Maki sighed. "Just because you kissed an angel tonight, doesn't mean you can get all the fun."

"I really can't hide anything from you guys."

"Then why don't we make a bet." Umi said, grinning at the two girls. "Let's see who can make a girl fell in love the fastest. After all, the three of us already have a target."

"Getting an interest at the girl you met, huh?" Eli giggled.

"Anyway, the winner will get the girls of the loser."

"I don't see anything wrong with it." The blonde confidently said. "So are you in, Maki?"

Maki smirked at the blonde's question and answered "It seems like I won't be playing the piano for a while."
