"Lunna, Kazu, and Tetsu. Welcome to the Underworld, and welcome to our small family."

---------

Days passed by and there were a lot of people now in Hell. Trainees kept increasing every other day or the week, and the generals were also busy doing their tests with them.

The king of the Underworld was on his chamber, doing some paperworks which were for the next batch of people coming to the said realm. He was checking their information, and scribbling notes on the paper for future purposes. Then the door creaked, opening to see [Name] walking towards Lucifer.

"Are those files of the new ones?" [Name] asked.

"Yeah. But you don't need to go there as usual since I've told Nine that the Generals who would be assessing the test will be the ones to go there, instead of all of you going there at once."

"Okay. That's nice."

[Name] then sat down at the couch that was opposite to Lucifer's table, and stared at him.

"Stop eye raping me, [Name]."

"The fuc---I was not."

"Yeah right."

[Name] narrowed her eyes at him and pouted. 'Hmph. Talk about being an asshole.' She stood up and walked towards the door but Lucifer stopped her with his magic.

"Really? You just got here."

"Shut up, you don't even want me here."

"[Name], come on. Don't go."

"No." [Name] tried moving around, desperately trying to reach the door knob.

Lucifer removed his magic on her and walked towards [Name] with a tired look on his face. "Please." He pleaded, placing his head on her shoulder.

Just by the way he acted, [Name] knew there was something wrong. "Lu, what's wrong?" She asked, rubbing her right hand on his back figure, comforting him.

"Nothing. I'm just tired, that's all."

"Don't lie to me, Lu. I know there's something wrong."

"Even if there was something wrong, I'd still not say it to you. I don't want you to worry about such a little thing."

A vein popped out of her forehead. "Say it or you'll feel my wrath."

"What-"

[Name] didn't give him a second and pinched the skin behind his left ear, the most sensitive part of the so called King of Hell. His eye twitched in agony as he felt the pain run through his skin.

"I-ita*! O-oi! Stop that!"

[Name] didn't listen to Lucifer's pleas, and just continued to pinch him. Then red eyed man gave up, because he had no chance of winning against the stubbornness of [Name].

"Okay, okay! I give up!"

[Name] removed her fingers from were she pinched him. She crossed her arms, and looked at him, with her eyebrow raised. She gave him a look of 'will you or will you not?'

Lucifer sighed. "Next time, okay? I promise I'll tell it to you. Just not this time, I really don't want to talk about it."

[Name]'s eyes softened after she heard what Lucifer said. She instantly understood what he meant by that. "Fine. Just don't keep it a secret from me okay? You know I always hate it when you do that."

"Yes, mum."

"Shut the fuck up, Lu."

"Hai, hai*."

At a certain training area, a group of colorful haired people stood there while watching their apprentices train to get stronger.

Divya and Naoki were busy training their crew with hand to hand combat, while Theron and Akimitsu were performing the said tests. Nine and Minsuh just stood there, observing how their minions attack with their current skills.

"Busy with training today, eh?" Yelled a particular h/c haired girl as she walked towards her peers with her lips pressed into a thin line.

"What about you? Aren't you going to do some sparring with your group?" The lavander haired woman asked.

"I did, yesterday. But today, I've already assigned a task to my squad leader."

"Feeling listless as ever?"

"You bet." [Name] sighed, suddenly wanting to sit down but there was no sight of a chair nearby and she didn't want to sit on the ground.

As [Name] closed her eyes, relaxing her mind for a bit, she felt a someone staring at her for a long time so she decided to make the first move. "What is it Minsuh? Do you have something to ask me?"

Minsuh clicked her tongue because [Name] had already caught her staring. Nonetheless, she went ahead and asked her. "What is the king to you, [Name]? What is your relationship with him?"

[Name] opened her eyes and blinked. This was the second time Minsuh had asked her that question. "Why do you want to know anyway?"

"I have my reasons, and I won't tell you that."

E/c orbs were directed to Minsuh's dark blue ones, like it was staring into her soul. Then [Name] directed her gaze away from her, and up into the sky. "I guess you could call us 'bestfriends' but if there was a thing called that's higher than that, then Lucifer's that one. We've known each other since we were 7 years old and he's been there for me ever since."

"So that explains why you two are so close together." Minsuh nodded her head, as she processed what [Name] had told her.

She was actually impressed by their friendship, because not all friends last that long. The King had told all of them of her background but not their relationship. She didn't expect the two to know each other, heck, all six of them didn't really expected such a thing.

Lucifer had told them that [Name] was already an assassin -- a pro -- at the age of 10, in the past. She had skills that were higher than that of the assassins that were in the organization that she had once worked. She developed those skills inhumanly quick which is why she was dubbed as the youngest assassin in the underground's (dirty work) world.

The King also mentioned that [Name] had a very tragic background. They were told about how [Name]'s family died in a car crash because of a crazy driver who just went ahead crashing into them, not even trying to stop the vehicle he was driving. And ever since that day, [Name]'s life had been miserable.

"How much did Lucifer tell you guys about me?"

"Not much. Just basic information."

[Name] nodded. "Well, it was the same with me too. I had to at least know about each and one of your backgrounds and vital information, so we're even."

"Of course." Minsuh said. "You said, you two knew when you were 7 right? So you guys have known each other for like 15 years?"

"Yeah. 15 and counting again."

"Wow..."

"Thank you, I appreciate your kind thoughts with our relationship. But for me, it was a rollercoaster of shitty emotions." [Name] said, rolling her eyes. "And don't get his good looks fawn you. One thing I can say about that guy is... he's eccentric. Yeah, he's nice and all but he can be pretty cruel and cold blooded during battles or things that would tick off his mind."

Just then, Lucifer came out of the castle, walking towards the seven generals with a scowl on his face.
"I heard someone talking shit about me."

"But why would someone talk shit about a trash can?" [Name] teased, unfazed by the look Lucifer gave to them, specifically her.

Lucifer didn't reply but instead narrowed his eyes and glared at [Name]. The two of them had a staring contest for a bit, with [Name] not changing her teasing look for a second, but eventually Lucifer gave up and diverted his eyes off of her.

Then he faked a cough and cleared his mind, because he was forgetting what he was actually here for. "Oh, right. Generals, we have a problem."
