t h r e e ;

Itachi finished buttoning the last few buttons before he tucked the shirt back into his pants and buckled them up. He brushed his hand through his disheveled hair.

He heard a sing song humming and he lowly chuckled to himself. Sotiria was such a cheeseball. Everytime she and Itachi had sex, she'd hum whatever tune that came in her head. It made Itachi believe that she was satisfied and that she could now be rational to talk to. She was actually......nice.

"Are you happy now?" He says throwing her a playfull glance. Sotiria froze while she was putting her shirt on again. Her head snapped his way as her sharp glare landed on him. He chuckled once more before reaching down to retrieve his shoes.

"Fuck you Itachi." She grits. "Asshole."

Again, Itachi chuckled. "I love you too honey."

Sotiria huffed and took her arm to flip her hair behind her. Itachi turned towards her and grabbed her waist hoisting her up. Instinctively she wrapped her legs around his torso and her arms around his neck.

"I'm glad we're together again." He whispers to her. She trembled. She loved Itachi something deeply. When she met him, she thought he was the most handsome devil she ever laid eyes on; no pun intended. He told her that he would protect her by any means, and she felt he was sincere about it. Most of the guards she encountered only said it because it was their duty; Itachi said it and actually meant every word. He protected her. Sheltered her. Wiped her tears when she cried, and held her when she wanted to be held. She trusted him with her life. He was her friend over anything. She fell in love and she fell hard. What made it even better is that Itachi loved her back.

Itachi thought she was the most beautiful woman to ever roam the underworld. Lucifer's daughter herself. When Itachi was assigned to protect her and watch her every move, he was more than happy to do so. Everytime she walked by him he felt butterflies in his stomach. When she was around him, it made him feel alive. She cried when her mother died, and Itachi realized she was just like everyone else. She had feelings. They sat in her room that very night and talked about everything. Their goals. How they wanted to start a family with the right one. Sotiria hated that her father picked who she would marry. She wanted to marry for love. Not because they were the strongest warrior in their underworld. She didn't care about strength or who could protect her. She cared about who would love her despite the fact that she was their leader's daughter. And Itachi did that.

"I-I'm glad we're together too." She whispers.

They heard the door creak and froze. Lookin towards the direction of the door, they saw raven locks. Sasuke. He stood there frozen as well looking at the two of them. He cleared his throat.

"Well this is awkward." He rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh, I'll see the two of you on the floor. Let's pretend this never happened." With that he left.

Itachi Let Sotiria down. He fixed his hair back into his ponytail. Sotiria smacked Itachi on the arm as hard as she could. He frowned at her.

"I thought you locked the door!" She harshly whispers to him.

"I did!" He whispers back throwing his hands towards the door. "Sasuke has another key!"

Sotiria gave a frustrated sigh before she ran her fingers through her hair.

"Well, Sasuke offically knows about us." Itachi sighed. "I have to tell him not to say anything untill I talk to Sir Lucifer."

"Y-Yeah." She breathed out.

The two of them exited the office. They spotted Sasuke pacing the halls. Itachi tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around completely shocked yet again. His eyes darted from his elder brother and the Devil princess herself. He took in air.

"Princess," Sasuke bowed as a sign of respect.

"Stand up, Sasuke you don't have to be so formal." Sotiria replied with a scoff.

"Right." He cleared his throat.

"Look." Sotiria pursed her lips together and stared at him with her green eyes. Sasuke was stuck. Her eyes were even more pure and green than Sakura's.

"Ye-Yes." Sasuke nodded letting her know she could continue.

"Your brother and I are dating." She says lowly. "We are to be wed. No one knows right now and we'd like to keep it that way. At least untill your brother can talk with my father. Understood?"

Sasuke nodded understandingly. Sotiria smiled a closed eyed smile.

"Great." She patted the young Uchiha's shoulder. "Glad we had this talk." Then she walked away. Sasuke looked at Itachi who had a hand to his face, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"You've been screwing the head Devil's daughter and you didn't tell me?!" Sasuke harshly whispers as he pushes his brother's shoulder. "What the fuck Itachi?!"

"It just happend Sasuke." Itachi stresses removing his hand from his face. He looked at his brother and sighed. "We couldn't stop it. We're in love."

Sasuke smirked. "Ya know, there were rumors that you and I are incapable of being in love and being wed because of our duties to Sir Lucifer." Sasuke paused, looking at his brother with the upmost respect. "But you found that and still managed to fulfill your duties to him. I'm proud of you." Sasuke and Itachi shared a brotherly smile before he turned to head down the hall. "Even if you are banging the ruler's daughter." Sasuke cackled as he walked down the hallway.

"P-P-Princess Sotiria!" Sakura stood in place and bowed before her. "Welcome!"

Sotiria scoffed. "Stand up Sakura, you don't have to be formal. Satan, is everyone like this?" She threw her hands up. Sakura straightened her posture and pursed her lips together.

"Sorry." Sakura replies. "What are you doing here? Did you come with Shikamaru and Kiba?"

"Yes, I came to assist you all in the soul hunting." Sotiria smiled. "So please refrain from any formalities. Just call me Sotiria. That is an order." Her green eyes piercing through Sakura's soul. She nodded.

"Y-Yes ma'am." She stuttered. "I-I mean Yes Sotiria."

"Hn." Sotiria smirked. "Where's your sister?"

"She's down there being the bartender." Sakura answers. "We all have jobs here. I'm a waitress. Itachi and Sasuke own the club and Karin is the barista."

"Suigetsu and Jugo?"

"Jugo is the bouncer at the entrance of the club." Sakura says. "Suigetsu is the DJ."

"Clever." Sotiria nodded. "Jugo would never be suspected as a devil."

Sakura nodded.

"You guys are the most successful since we've sent you all here." Sotiria says. "I can't lie, I was a bit worried. The others we sent before only could barely retrieve souls for us. Leave it to the Uchiha brothers and their hand picked team."

Sakura tried to surpress the smile that was forming on her face from the compliment.

"Although, Karin and I wasn't chosen by Lord Sasuke or Lord Itachi." Her eyes travel downwards.

"That is true." Sotiria agreed. "But you two redeemed yourselves and that's all that matters. You two showed them why you deserve to be on their team. You two are strong, don't ever forget that."

"Thank you princess." Sakura says warmly.

"Sakura." A voice called out to her and the two women turned around. A man dressed in distressed jeans and a white shirt greeted them. His hair was tied into a man bun at the top of his head. His gaze was lazy and so was his stance as he rubbed the back of his neck groggily.

"Shikamaru." Sakura called his name.

"Kiba and I would like to talk to you about the angel sightings you and Karin encountered."

"Okay." Sakura looked back over at Sotiria. "Excuse me Sotiria."

"You're kindly excused Sakura."

Sakura turned and disappeared into the crowd with Shikamaru. Sotiria turned and looked over the railing of the second floor level. She watched the drunk men try to flirt with women and the women dance with their girlfriends. Her eyes traveled to the bar where she spotted Karin, engaging in conversation with a blonde male and blue haired girl. The same blonde Sasuke was just talking to when she arrived here.

She watched as Karin slid the male another glass of brown poision and the girl a bottle of water.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Itachi's voice sounded next to her and she tore her gaze from the scene to look at him. He smiled at her causing her face to flush red. It was amazing how such a man had such an effect on her.

——

Amen. Hinata silently prays over her water without going unnoticed before she drank out of it. Her eyes scanned her surroundings and she found herself looking up. She's searched the lower level for any indication of a devil and she couldn't find anything.

Once she looked up. Her eyes connected on a woman with red hair. She was beautiful. Hinata felt her breath get caught in her throat. Beside her was a man. Both of their hair pulled into ponytails. Their attire were simple but they looked like supermodels. Hinata quickly nudged Naruto.

"Naruto look." She whispered to him. Naruto follows the direction in which Hinata was looking and almost spit out his whiskey.

"God, they're beautiful." Naruto's eyes narrows. "He looks like Sasuke."

"Sasuke?" Hinata looked towards Naruto. "Who's Sasuke?"

"Oh! Uh," Naruto used his free hand to rub the back of his neck. "The guy that owns the club here."

"You met a devil?!" Hinata's eyes grew wide.

"He's not a devil Hinata." Naruto says taking a sip of his whiskey. "He's human."

Hinata pursed her lips together.

"Still here?" Sasuke greeted them with a smirk. "I thought you'd get too drunk already and left."

Naruto snorted. "Not at all."

Hinata looked between the two. Sasuke caught her glance and he smiled.

"Hello beautiful." He says turning to her. "Name's Sasuke."

"Hinata." She replies. "Nice to meet you."

"Pleasure is mine." Sasuke winked at her. "Can I get you a drink?"

"I-I don't drink." She says.

"You're so pure." Sasuke says smirking. "You little angel you. What are you doing in a place like this?"

"I kinda dragged her here to get her out the house." Naruto chuckles nervously.

"Ah, such the bad influence." The raven joked.

The three of them talked amongst themselves. Sasuke made it his business to walk Hinata and Naruto to the exit.

"I had a really great time." Hinata smiles.

"Really?" Sasuke smiled back at her. "I'm glad you did."

"See you later, Sasuke." Naruto says with a smirk.

"Ah, indeed you will, Naruto." Sasuke replied to him. Hinata turned to walk away. Naruto turned towards Sasuke.

"Will you be here tomorrow?" He asked the raven.

"I'm always here." Sasuke says smartly. "This is my job."

Naruto snorts embarrassed. "Right. Well, see you tomorrow."

"I'm starting to think you're just coming to see me now." Sasuke smirks.

"Maybe I am." Naruto says with a shrug before turning and leaving.
