I yawned, slowly opening my eyes and what I saw in front of me was the most beautiful person I had ever laid my eyes on. My oh so wonderful girlfriend, Isabela. She was sleeping so peacefully and her snores were just as adorable.

I can't help but stare at her a little longer.

Eventually, the plant overlord was slowly waking up as I heard a groan, "Urgh…"

I gave her a chuckle, "How's it going, sleeping beauty?"

Isabela, though tired from waking up, rolled her eyes fondly, "Really? That nickname again? Don't you think it's getting old, mi amor?"

"What? It's true. You are a beauty." I respond, giving her a wink.

The plant demon just sighs in exasperation and kisses me lovingly and I sigh in contentment. I just love her kisses so much! I snuggled into her even more and she let out another giggle.

"We still have to get up, you know."

"No. Want to sleep more."

"You're not even sleeping. Just watching me sleep."

"Well, you are an adorable sleeper."

"The rest of the hotel, including my sister, would wonder where we are?"

"Yeah, still no. You're sister hates my guts." I replied, thinking back to the times the ex-exorcist keeps glaring at me. Especially whenever I flirt with Isa. Overprotective, much?

Isabela hums in thought at what I said, "Then I guess she needs to get to know you better. You may be a bit of a jokester and all that, but you have a loving heart. I'm sure you'll be able to win her over. You do have an interesting personality that many tend to admire."

I smirked at the last part, "Oh really?"

Isabela gave me an equally seductive smile as she inched closer, "Really~"

Man, how much I love this woman.

Unfortunately, we were interrupted as an angry sounding knock came from our door.

"What are you two doing in there?!" I hear Vaggie shout in annoyance from the other side, "Breakfast is ready! Get up!"

Isabela sighs and calls back, "We'll be out in a minute!" she looks at me, "Guess we'll have to finish this later." the plant demon promised.

I sigh, but oh well. Later is fine.

And with that, we got up from our beds and brushed our teeths.

I looked at the wardrobe that we brought with us and thought what would look best for today. I picked up a dark green leather jacket that had a blood red rose on the back and a purple skull on the shoulder. It was my favorite and I feel like today I want to look badass.

As I put on the jacket, a white shirt that said "Riot" in big black paint on the front, and some red jeans, I looked at my stunningly hot girlfriend who was pulling it with the blue patterned blouse and red leggings.

"Why, aren't you just captivating," I commented, eyeing her endearly.

She shoved me playfully and the two of us laughed, walking out of the room.

As we all ate breakfast, we all had some small talk here and there. Charlie, being the weird embodiment of Hell's own sunshine, was having a nice and lovely talk with her girlfriend, Vaggie, who thankfully isn't hounding me on flirting with her sister. Husk was talking with Angel on something along with Camilo joining in. Nifty was… I have no idea, if I'm being honest, she's just staring at her food and Alastor is being creepy as fuck.

Nothing much, just having fun and talking.

Until…

Ding*

"Huh?" My pocket just dinged. I pulled out my phone and looked at the latest notification and I almost spit my coffee.

Isabela must have noticed my shock, "Luster, is everything okay?"

I gave her the biggest excited smile ever, "Uh, yeah!" I showed my phone screen, "Someone's selling a genuine carmine crafted blessing tipped rifle in an abandoned warehouse! The actual kind! The one that can kill demon royalty! I thought these things were long gone by the time Carmilla sold them out!"

"Uh, why are… you interested in that?" Charlie asked nervously with Vaggie giving a protective side hug and eyeing me as if daring to do anything I might regret.

Oh, right. Demon royalty over here… yeah, maybe don't shout that out next time.

Lucky for me, Isabela was able to save my ass, "Luster likes to collect all kinds of weapons from throughout the rings of Hell. each one being more dangerous than the last. But I assure you, she won't cause harm. This is only for her entertainment."

Camilo backed her up on this, "Yeah, think of it like Isa's weird obsession with plants," said demon gave him an offended glare, "It's like when people have a collection of some sorts."

Vaggie was still giving me the death glare like I'd do something horrible at any moment, which to be fair I wouldn't blame her for being suspicious. If I had a weapon that would kill the love of my life, I would get defensive as well.

But one look from Isabela told the fallen angel to drop it. Trusting her word, Vaggie did. Though she's still eyeing me. Guess it would take some time.

But I'm not too focused on that at the moment. I'm more focused on my soon to be newest addition to my arsenal collection!

Without thinking, I chugged down on my coffee and ignored the protest of slowing down. I didn't care if I almost choked! Mama needs me that one of a kind rifle!

I kissed Isabela's cheek, telling her "I love you my plant goddess", and bolted out the room.

But a vine grabbed my waist, making me stop.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Isabela asked, looking worried and skeptical, "I know how much you love weapons. Honestly, your enthusiasm for them is adorable. But you are going to an abandoned warehouse without thinking."

Ah right. She's worried that it could be a trap. That could also be a possibility.

But hey, you never know until you find out, right?

"I'm sure I'll be fine, love." I told her, trying to ease her concern, "And if it is a trap, I can bounce right back. After all, they don't call me Riot for nothing."

Isabela still didn't buy it. But she sighed, knowing that I'd be fine and kill them all for tricking her. Before letting me go, she gave me a kiss on the cheek, telling me good luck and hope you'd stay safe out there.

Ah, I just love her attentive worry for me. It just warms my heart so badly.

After reciprocating a kiss goodbye to her back, I bolted out the entrance door of the hotel, eager to get me my soon to be rifle.

Well, here it is! The strange abandoned warehouse!

I practically ran from the hotel to here, all without stopping. Sure, I could have just asked Isabela to ride on Flytrap (The name of Isabela's plant lion) but I didn't want to really bother her with that. I want her to spend some quality time with her family. And hey, I'm not even that tired… Okay, I guess I'm a little tired but my excitement helps keep me energized!

Not going to lie, it would be strange for a rare weapon to be sold here of all places. Kind of makes you wonder if it is a trap…

Oh well, I'll deal with it when it happens. Let's go!

As I stepped into the warehouse, it was pitch black inside… weird. "Hello? Hello!"

Nothing.

I kept exploring, "Helloooo! I heard there's a carmine crafted blessing tipped rifle around here somewhere and I want it!"

"Oh no, Riot. I'm afraid you're here for a different matter."

That voice… shit!

I turned around and saw a spotlight being shown. In the middle of that spotlight was a sinner.

He was like a dragon humanoid of some sorts. With his red scales, twisted horns, and blue reptilian eyes staring into me. He was like a businessman with that navy suit and dress pants.

Qiang… one of the deadliest mafia overlords.

… great, did he lure me here just to piss me off?

Or… is he here for…

"What do you want, bastard?" I asked, crossing my arms.

He had that dangerous look, glaring into me. I felt no fear. Just pissy at him. "You know what I want. I want what's mine…"

Great, this again, "Dude, the guy isn't yours to keep. Why don't you just learn that and move on. I know you like him, but he's not going to be interested in a guy like you. Maybe fix your attitude a bit while taking a new path and maybe he'd be willing to forgive and date you?"

Qiang's expression changed for a bit and went back to glaring, "We're not…. His soul was supposed to be mine!"

"Yeah, your attraction towards my best friend is obvious," I retorted, "Look, just leave us the fuck alone. I know you somewhat mean well but your way of thinking needs to change, man."

"... Guess you'll have to change your mind once I show you them."

Before I could process what he meant, another spotlight was shown. I looked at what it was and my blood ran more cold.

There were hostages. Even worse, they were angels. A snake, a donkey, and a bat. All three of them were tied up, gagged, and had looks of fear.

I can recognize Sir Pentious anywhere. A good friend to trade weapons with… but… I thought he died?

And the other two… a donkey and a bat.

Don't tell me-

"Recognize them?" Qiang replied.

I glared at him, my pulse in fury, "Let them go. They have nothing to do with this!"

"I beg to differ." The bastard had the audacity to smirk, and pull out an angelic gun, "So unless you want a mess to occur, I suggest bringing his soul back to me and maybe bring that bitch of yours to have a rematch."

I looked at him. Then at the hostages. Then at the angelic weapon.

Then looking at his men that have surrounded the whole area that I now realized were here.

Oh, shit…

I really should think before running into trouble.
