Nine coughed, and fixed himself, taking a step forward. "Anyway, let's get those dipshits of bandits and wrap this up easily. We're going to get that crystal gem back no matter what."

It was dark and eerie at first when the deadly sins saw the inside of a cave that was somehow the hideout of the bandits they were looking for. It was a little odd for the bandits to choose a hideout like this, but eh. A typical hideout for your typical group of bandits.

"Do we plan on how to get the gem back?" Minsuh asked. "And just so you know guys, we've been standing here for five minutes."

"Our plan is just simple." Nine said. "We just get the gem and bring it back to the castle safely. Then the queen will deal with the captured bandits."

"That's...it? Nine, are you serious?"

"Pretty much. Now, let's get going." Nine flicked his wrist and a purple flame ignited from the top of his hand. It was his magic ability.

The sins entered the cave and it was really quiet inside, which is somehow unusual. But [Name] speculated that the bandits were still far ahead which is why they couldn't hear any noise coming from the said fairies.

"Akimitsu, do you... Do you still have doubts about me?" [Name] questioned, looking at Akimitsu straight in the eyes.

The two of them stared at each other, before Akimitsu blinked. "I don't doubt you, [Name]. It's just that you don't trust us enough to tell your problems to us. You know that we're here...I'm here to help you. I don't want to see you suffer because you already did. A lot even."

[Name] stared at him for a while before tearing her gaze away from him and closed her eyes, sighing. "I see, I was mistaken. My apologies, Akimitsu."

Akimitsu gave her a small nod. He knew that something was bothering the h/c haired girl but she didn't want to tell it to them. Even if he asked her about it, she would either brush off the topic or change it.

"Sshh. Do you guys hear that shit?" Nine asked as he quickly sushed the other sins.

Now, there was noise inside the cave. It sounded like the bandits were singing, dancing, and drinking.
Before Nine could take a step forward and see what they were doing, he was interrupted when someone had covered his mouth and faced him towards the person who caught him.

Nine's eyes widened when he saw that the other members of the bandits had caught the other generals as well. Then the person who caught him sprayed something on his face that caused his consciousness to slowly drift away.

"Looks like we have visitors." The person uttered, before Nine went unconscious.

¦¦¦

"Ah, it's cold." A small girl, not above the age of twelve, uttered to herself as she slowly sat up from the ground she laid at.

She rubbed her eyes, to clear the fogging perspective of hers that was caused from the fall she had earlier, and blinked a few times. Soon, she saw a tall frame of a man that seemed to walk towards her, and realized who it was as the guy went nearer.

"What the hell are you doing on the floor?" The man with dark red hair asked, offering a hand to help her.  'Ah. It's him.'

"Nothing, really. I fell from the window after finishing my mission. Sorry from being an idiot." The little girl with h/c hair willing took the hand and brushed her clothes to remove the dirt away.

"At least you know you're an idiot. Anyways, come with me there's someone you need to meet." The guy said motioning for her to follow him.

The both of them entered the car without another word or two and waited for the car to reach the destination. [Name] raised an eyebrow in confusion as she saw that she they were nearing the main headquarters of the UPEX.

"What're we doing at UPEX? I thought you said there's someone I need to meet." The girl asked, opening the door of the car. UPEX was the name of the organization she was working at, and the man she was currently with is the one who owns the organization.

"Exactly. He's here, specifically in my office." The man walked forward, with [Name] following him behind.

The two of them strutted, making the others' attention turn towards them and greeted them. After passing some offices, departments, and training grounds, both of them finally arrived at the man's office.

From inside the office, [Name] saw a black haired man with his eyes closed and his hands on the back of his body. His lips were pressed into a thin line but quickly changed into a smile when he saw the boss.

"Ah, Dommi. I was expecting you, but I didn't expect you to be this early." The dark red haired man asked.

"Things turned up faster than it should be, and normally it does not happen so I took the chance to meet the girl who you are so proud of." The man who was named 'Dommi' replied, and looked at [Name] with a small smile on his lips.

The redhead noticed that someone small was behind the back of the person named Dommi. Then a smile crept his lips. "Is that him behind your back, Dommi?"

'Ah, I forgot about him...' Dommi then looked over his shoulder and saw the small boy was still shaking a bit, his hands were gripping on to the suit that Dommi wore. "Yes, but please don't frighten him. He's still recovering from the shock that gave him yesterday."

"Ah, of course." The boss uttered and gave him a closed eyed smile. Then he tapped [Name]'s shoulder and gave her a look.

The h/c haired girl immediately understood the gave he look, and then she looked at the guy named Dommi. After staring at him for seconds, the small boy emerged from his back but the boy seemed to have a pained expression and he was shaking a bit.

[Name] walked forward to get a closer look of his face. She thought that he was somehow cute because he looked like a girl judging from his small frame and his long hair upto his shoulder. He was a bit dirty so [Name] thought that something might've happened to him.

The boss smiled when he saw that [Name] was getting along with the new boy. Then he said, "[Name], meet Lucifer Ambrose. He'll be working with us starting today."

¦¦¦¦

'Oh... I'm suddenly remembering things again...' [Name] thought as she slowly opened her eyes. There, she saw herself lying on the floor with her hands tied behind her back as well as her feet. She tried to lift her body but it was actually hard to do since both her hands and feet were tied. She mentally cursed the movies she saw when she was still alive because they made it look so easy lifting their body up when they were tied up. After squirming like an idiot, she finally sat upright.

"It's about time you woke up." A familiar voice said. [Name] looked to her right and saw Minsuh with the same situation as her. Minsuh's hands and feet were also tied up. Theron was there beside Minsuh with his hands and feet also tied up.

Then [Name] looked unto her left and saw the others. All of them actually had their hands and feet tied up. She quickly recalled what happened back then, and remembered that she was the last one being captured. She also remembered that a bandit had swung a bat on the back of head enough to knock her out, and [Name] was quickly irritated as she remembered the feeling.

"Minsuh, do I have like blood trickling down my forehead?" [Name] asked.

"Somehow. It's all dried up now, probably because its been a while since that incident."

"Damn it." [Name] cursed, biting her lower lip, and exhaled. (A/n: liP BITE OohooHoOhooH jk jk imma go now--)

[Name] then closed her eyes once more and lifted her head upwards. Thinking what she will do in  the current situation. She opened her eyes and blinked twice before realizing that someone was watching her.

With a sharp and cold gaze she presented in her eyes, [Name] looked at the person who was staring at her. It was one of the bandits who captured them. The man was a bit different from the rest of his group. He was thin, very pale, and a tall one at that. He had platinum blond hair and green eyes, and he wore a light blue shirt with a necktie, and some black pants that was a bit loose on him. Lastly, he had a scar on his right cheek, and a mole underneath his left eye.

[Name] squinted her eyes at the guy in front of her. "You're behind the stealing aren't you?"

The man didn't reply right away, but instead continued to stare at her before placing his hands on his pockets. "Us, actually. But yes, if you're implying I'm the one who leads this team, then yes it's me."

[Name] raised an eyebrow then hummed. The h/c haired girl then put up her oh-so-innocent chibi face and asked. "Okay, okay. So, like, are you letting us go or not?"

All of the other sins mentally face-palmed as they watched what kind of face [Name] was making. It was carefree and naive like that one idiot you probably know.

"This is so fucked up." Nine shook his head, and sighed.

"Oh god, I know right." Minsuh whispered.

The man with platinum blond hair remained unfazed even if the woman in front of him was trying to make a fool out of him. He bent down, and grabbed [Name]'s jaw, his eyes narrowing at her. "You... you're [Lastname] [Name] right?"

"What if I was?"

"I asked the question first."

"Fine." [Name] sighed. "Yes, that's my name. So, what's it to you then?"

"Don't you remember me? We've met before, Ms. Killing Machine."

[Name] glared at him. "What the hell are you talking about?" 

"Perhaps, that's not the right term." The guy brought his face closer to her. "UPEX's ace and prodigy."
