Belphegor would make Aria scream and writhe with pain sooner if they had a room together.

The woman gives a smile to them. She makes her tone quiet; as if she's excited she's making something forbidden happen to two people who deserve it and some kindness. She's excitedly telling them about the features of the room they'll be getting together.

Aria gets tense. She knows she won't be able to sleep very well. She would constantly be tense with Belphegor around while she slept. But she also knows that if she makes it seem like she doesn't expect him to do something, he won't.

Then again, he's insane…

Aria reaches for the keys, but Belphegor takes them before she can. Belphegor turns to Aria with the worst kind of grin Aria's seen from him. The woman thinks it's a playfully excited grin, but to Aria…

"You know what's coming. Get ready for it."

If only his grin could really say that and confirm what she thinks.

As they leave, Aria is thinking about how to get rid of Belphegor. In her world, she would have to get rid of him before he gets rid of her. As they head to the room, which is on the second floor, Belphegor pulls out a knife. He begins twirling it around his fingers. Aria can see the knife, but she's looking at the carpet as they walk. She is alert, but appears to think Belphegor won't do anything to her.

The carpet is blue with green diamond designs.

"Do you want to start today, or tomorrow?" Aria asks Belphagor.

"Neither. I don't want to start. I want to see the sights and let my subjects bask in their Prince's presence," Belphegor declares.

"… You do what you want so long as it doesn't interrupt things. I'll call on you when I need you," Aria tells him. "I'll need you at the beginning and end. Your grin is unsettling and your method of killing will probably be best."

"Ushishishi, I like the sound of the last part."

A three story house stands before Aria and Belphegor. It's white with a porch. The yard is a lush green with colorful flowers along one side of the sidewalk leading to the door. The roof is black where there's a chimney.

Aria is the first to walk toward the house. Belphegor follows while looking around boredly. He wasn't impressed with the house. He's seen better. When they get to the door, both Aria and Belphegor see a camera. Aria knocks, not taking any further notice of the camera looking down on them.

Aria and Belphegor wait. When the wait is too long, Aria knocks again. When no one answers, Aria turns to Belphegor. She moves aside and Belphegor takes out a knife. Aria looks at the flowers as Belphegor works his magic and picks at the lock.

In no time at all, the door opens up. This catches Aria's attention. She goes inside behind Belphegor.

The inside is as grand as the outside of the house. There's hard wood flooring with intricate rugs. There's a large chandelier hanging from the high ceiling. There are nice desks with pricey things like a vase, a jeweled eggs, etc. The stairs have plush white carpet with brown railing, and there are pictures of random scenery.

But then men in black appear. Belphegor grins and Aria turns to him. For a strange reason, it almost seems like Belphegor is asking her for permission to slit some necks.

"Just knock them out," Aria says.

Aria stands back and watches Belphegor take out the men. Aria would help, but she isn't as nimble as Belphegor is. Not only that, but Aria wants to keep him busy with something he can enjoy. She also wants Belphegor to think she depends on him.

When Belphegor is done, Aria looks over the men on the floor. She looks to Belphegor and says, "You can kill them in the end."

Belphegor lets out his famous giggle at the thought. They go to the stairs and then go up to the second floor. They easily find the most expensive-looking door. Aria goes up to it and stops, making Belphegor stop.

A man's loud voice can be heard.

He must be on his phone, Aria thinks.

Without knocking, Aria opens the door. The room has white carpet, white walls, two bookcases filled with books, a desk filled with books and papers with one computer and one laptop, a black leather chair, and a window looking out on the backyard.

Who they see is an attractive young man. He's wearing nice black slacks, shiny black shoes, and a blue button up with the sleeves rolled up. He has black thick hair that reaches his eyes. He has eyes that look like they're black. His skin is tan, he seems laid back, and like he knows what he's doing.

When he sees Aria and Belphegor, he stops his pacing. He looks them up and down. He puts up a finger as a motion for them to wait. The man who looks to be in his mid-thirties finishes up his call as quickly and politely as he can.

He sets his phone down on his desk and closes his laptop. He turns to the two members of the Varia, and then sticks his hands into his pockets. In heavily accented English he asks, "What can I do for the two of you who broke into my house?"

"The Varia wants the money you owe, interest included," Aria tells him. "I'm to tell you how to hand over the money, Beto."

Beto suddenly gives his most charming smile that he uses for his female clients. This catches Aria by surprise. Beto gets two chairs from his closet. Aria sits down while Belphegor sprawls out like he owns the whole house. Aria can't help but begin to fall for the young Italian with the charming personality and smile.

Beto is used to women fawning over him. He enjoys it because he doesn't need to try. But with this seventeen year old girl, things are different since she's also part of the organization needing the money burrowed.

Sure, Beto will have money after handing over the money he owes, but who wants to give away money?

By the time it's time to go, Belphegor had had enough of Aria's stupid fawning. As they're leaving, Aria says good-bye one more time to add to the other three times she had said good-bye.

Beto leans against his doorway coolly with crossed arms and a charmingly sly smile. He asks, "Maybe when you come back around, I could show you around the town. We have really good lasagna."

Before Aria can answer, Belphegor takes out a knife. Since he's already behind Aria, he pokes his knife deep enough through her jacket so she can feel it. Aria knows this is Belphegor's way of telling her that he wants to go now.

Aria just forces a smile at Beto, and then leaves with Belphegor.

Yes, Aria is irritated with Belphagor. Yes, Belphegor was impatient and irritated. No, Aria doesn't know she's being manipulated. That's how life works sometimes, it happens.

"Ushishishi, you're a love sick idiotic puppy," Belphegor insults her. "I'm going to enjoy cutting him up with you watching me do it~"

Strangely, to Aria, that doesn't sit well with her at all. The most she did was turn to Belphegor with a slightly annoyed look. He doesn't seem to notice this look, and it might be because of his hair being in the way. But Aria can tell that the grin on Belphegor's face says that he speaks the brutal truth.

Aria doesn't respond. All she does it take out a cherry sucker. She unwraps it and then puts it into her mouth. Belphegor notices this, and wonders how Aria can have so many of these suckers. He wants one of the many she has.

"You should learn to give your Prince things that you own," Belphegor suddenly says.

The only thing Aria gives him is a grunt of dissatisfaction.

Sorry if this chapter was short. The last chapter I made, at this point, is longer. Trust me. I'm glad to see that I got reviews, so like I've been saying, I'll update with reviews. ^_^ Keep the reviews coming, and more updates will come. After I update chapter four, though, the updates will be lessoned. I still have yet to write up chapter five and up.

Anyway! Like it's been said before, I need a review before I can update. ^_^ Criticism is taken so long as it's not that I'll-cuss-you-out-because-I-think-you-suck crap. It. Does. Nothing.
