Eventhough it was well past midnight, the city had not fallen asleep. Instead, multicolored lights filled the sky, blending in with the clouds and giving them their own colorful glow for the heavens to enjoy. Techno music blaring loudly from the different clubs that were cramped in between businesses or Diners; sometimes alleys separated one club from the next. Lines down the block and around the corner of half naked women and peverted men waiting to gain entrance to these said clubs.

One club in particular had the most buzz. It was much larger than all the other clubs in this particular part of Konoha. Bright neon lights formed words reading "The Devil's Playground" and that it was.

For centuries, devils have roamed the earth giving sinners their guilty pleasures of adultry and anything else their heart desired for the price of their souls. They would take the human's soul when death came to them and send them to the flaming inferno which was hell; to their leader, Lucifer.

The Devil's Playground may have seemed like a club, but it was actually just a hide and seek game for the two Devils that owned the club; the Uchiha Brothers. Lucifer's most prized possessions. His favorites among his disciples. They were his left and right hands, the reason why his hellish empire was growing so strong. The two raven haired men were charming to those of men and women so it was very easy to gain the trust of a human so quickly for them.

Twenty-Three years ago, Lucifer sent them up to Earth to bring him as many minions as they could. He hasn't been let down since then. They bring those vulnerable souls to him one by one. Lucifer's kingdom has been thriving eversince. No one can resist the Uchiha charm.

The youngest Uchiha stared over the balcony of the second floor of the club, looking over the sea of drunken people. His obsidian irises scanning slowly over each body. A glass of whiskey on the rocks tucked in between his thumb and middle finger. He slowly bought the glass to his lips and sipped. The strong liquid stinging the back of his throat as he swallowed. His taylored Christian Dior suit clinging to his tall frame. He wore no jacket though, just the shirt and pants, with Guiseppe Zanotti loafers on his feet. The sleeves of his red button up were rolled up to his elbows.

He took in a deep breath becoming bored and wanting to roam the club, but he had to wait for his brother to arrive. Again, he sipped from his glass.

"Sorry to keep you waiting little brother." His brother's voice was low, but it sounded clear over the music. Maybe his hearing was just that good. He didn't bother to turn and greet his brother, instead he let the man walk up to him and stand beside him.

"Itachi." He finally spoke. "I thought we made it clear that we had one mission and one mission alone." He paused to cut his eyes at his brother. "And that's bring as many souls to Lucifer as we can. Not too many people succeeded with Angels roaming around as well like we have. Get your dick in order or we'll been sent into oblivion."

"Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke." Itachi patted his brother on the back. It was a simple gesture out of love for his little brother. "For once you're absolutely wrong." The smile on his brother's face irritated him to the core. Although they were indeed brothers from the same mother and father, their behaviors were nothing alike. Itachi was more of a free spirit than Sasuke was and extremely more charming because of that. Sasuke took all jobs handed to him by Lucifer seriously. He never relaxed not even once.

"I was actually counting the books." Itachi finished. "It's what the humans do to keep the banks off their backs."

Sasuke growled and took another sip of his whiskey.

"Hn, drinking again I see." Itachi pushed loose strands of his long hair out his face. Tucking the strands behind his ear he looked onto the sea of bodies. "It's really busy tonight and it's only 1am."

"Yes, I know." Sasuke replied.

"Lord Sasuke, Lord Itachi!" A frantic voice ran up to them, it was their devil in training, Sakura.

Sakura was assigned to Itachi firstly who found her useless, so she began following after Sasuke on his tasks and Sasuke turned her into a natural born killer. Her brute strength was incredible. Her pretty soft face and big round green eyes enticed every man or woman she came in contact with. She was the Uchiha Brothers prized possession along with her sister, Karin. The two of them together were dangerous.

"Sakura, what's wrong?" Itachi asked calmly turning to her. Sasuke never even bothered to move an inch to acknowledge her.

"Mi'Lord, we've got information that there is an angel in the club!" She spoke. She walked closer and stood inbetween the two brothers.

"You and Karin go find him and take care of them immediately." Itachi orders.

"Y-Yes sir." Sakura bowed and left in a flash. Itachi sighed and chuckled.

"You have to tell Sakura not to use her powers around these Humans." He tells his brother.

"Sakura isn't as careless as Karin is." Sasuke replies. "She knows what she's doing."

"Does she?" Itachi turned to his brother. "Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do." Itachi turned to walk away, leaving Sasuke to his thoughts once again.

Sasuke downed the rest of his whiskey and set the glass on the balcony railing. He firmly pressed his hands on the railing and gripped tighter as he looked out onto the people. His eyes caught something. He stopped. Zeroing in on his target. Blonde. A male. Sitting by himself at the bar as Karin, Sakura's sister assisted him with whatever it was he was drinking. He watched as Sakura walked up to the redhead to whisper something. Karin then nodded and excused herself from the blonde before shoving another bartender his way. The two of them left. Sasuke smirked.

"Time to get to work." He mumbles to himself.

Pushing himself off the railing, he turned and waltz down the stairs. All eyes seemed to have been on him. Just the way he likes it. He continued down the stairs. Once he reached the bottom, he maneuvered his way through the bumping and grinding untill he made it to the bar. The blonde was still there. He looked to have been sulking. Vulnerability; Sasuke licked his lips. He walked over to the bar stool next to the blonde and leaned on the counter.

"I think that's the last of them." Sakura says slapping her hands together as if she were dusting them off. She flipped her hair back and looked over her shoulder at her sister. Karin had just ripped an Angel's wings off and threw the aside as if they were trash. The angel beneath her hollered.

"Oh shut up." Karin sneers. "It didn't hurt that bad." She then grabbed them by the throat and and squeezed. Bloodlust evident in her crimson eyes and menacing smile. "But this might."

She watched as the angel gagged, eyes bulging out the sockets. Karin's fine tip nails punctured the said angel's skin causing them to bleed. Karin licked her lips.

"You joined the wrong team." A twinkle went off in Karin's eye as she squeezed harder, forcing her nails into their flesh. She smiled brighter watched as their blood tainted her hands. Soon the angel was dead; and basically beheaded. Their head barely hanging on to the rest of the body before Karin dropped them on the floor. She slowly licked the blood from her hands and fingers before she looked back at her Sister who glared at her in disgust.

"Can you be even more gruesome?" Sakura scoffed. Karin snickered.

"Lord Itachi likes it when I'm gruesome." Lust laced in the redhead's voice. Sakura groaned.

"Give it a rest already." Sakura says as the two began their journey back into the main part of the club. Behind them, small deamons began cleaning up their mess. "Lord Itachi is too arrogant to fall in love."

"And Lord Sasuke is?" Karin smirked.

"L-Lord Sasuke is just fulfilling his duties to Lucifer himself." Sakura answers. "He doesnt have time to love anyone. They are high ranking Devils and-"

"And soon enough they're gonna have to be wed." Karin yawns getting bored of the conversation.

Sakura pushed the door open with her hip and the two sisters were greeted with strobe lights and thumping techno music. Karin nudged her sibling.

"Go find a human to take advantage of." She snickers. "Make Lord Sasuke proud by bringing him a pure soul to take to Lucifer." Karin winked before she turned to leave her sister. Sakura growled.

"Your job is simple." A booming baritone spoke as his army of winged people perfectly aligned before him on one knee. "Stop Lucifer and his devil minions from taking souls at all cost. If Lucifer feels he's strong enough, there will be a war among Devils and Angels such as yourselves. We have to stop them. He's sent his best warriors, so I'm sending mine. Do not let me down."

"Yes Father God." The army of angels replied harmoniously.

"You may go my children." He says again. "Bless you all. I wish you much success."

The small angel took a sip of his whiskey before looking around the club once more. He's been here for hours, just looking around for any indication that a devil might be lingering around. With a club name like "The Devil's Playground" Why wouldn't there be devils right?

So far there haven't been no such luck.

From his peripheral, he could see a pale figure leaning against the bar. He tilted his head to get a good look. The man was rather handsome. His porcelain skin, full lips, obsidian crystals for eyes. A strong jawline feature. His raven hair. The way his clothes fit his body perfectly. This man was perfect.

He watched as the man lightly tapped his hand on the counter to gain the bartender's attention. To his surprise, the redhead who helped him earlier arrived.

"Ah, how can I help you?" She spoke sweetly, batting her eyelashes at him obviously at a weak attempt to flirt. But the man smirked, obviously intrigued by the lustful redhead.

"The usual." The man replied. His voice, it's smooth and rich.

The angel watched as the woman took a glass and placed four ice cubes in it before pouring a brown liquid inside. She placed the glass on a napkin and slid it to the raven. He smiled at her.

"Thank you." He says with a wink. He turned, seeing that he was being watch which startled the young angel, but he was determined not to break face. His eyes quickly shifted to his glass.

"Like what you see?" The raven spoke gaining his attention once more. He slowly scooted closer to him causing the angel's breath to hitch.

"E-Excuse me?" He answered. The raspiness of his voice amusing the raven. It was different from what he always heard. Deep and sometimes husky. It was never as soft, almost feminine like. He liked it.

"I said, 'do you like what you see?' It's a yes or no answer." Again, the Raven smirked.

"What makes you think to ask me that?" The angel furrowed his eyebrows.

"You were staring at me the entire time." The raven replies. "I knew you were staring, I just wanted to see if you had the confidence to speak to me or not." The raven took in a deep breath before taking a gulp out his glass. "You failed."

And just like that, he was gone. The angel looked around to see if he saw any indication of him through the sea of people, but he didn't. Who was he?
