The dark eyes and gleaming white teeth which produced a face and a body as it walked out of the shadows. It had a sort of wafting presence that shifted with the wind perfectly. This made it so the demon was barely noticeable.
Just as it moved toward Derrick's body, It heard a gunshot. The sound seemed to come from the direction of the entrance, where its partner had entered through.
"Rias!!" It exclaimed, calling out the name of the other Demon which was just killed by Nicollo. "I can't sense his presence anymore."
"Tch. The demon hunters must have shown up." It added in its soliloquy, "They weren't supposed to be here. This just complicates things. If I try to kill him here, another hunter might show up. But I could always escape with him. With my ability, that should be easier."
It walked towards Derrick's body, and stretched out its hand to grab him. Just before it did, it cocked its head to the corner of the room as though he was staring at someone.
"How long have you been here?" It asked.
"Impressive. I just got here." Angelina said, walking out of the dark corner of the room into the proper view.
"You're a hunter aren't you?" The demon asked as it straightened up to face her.
"I'm his sister." She responded plainly.
"All the more reason." The demon muttered with a melancholic smirk. "I doubt you're gonna let me take his body."
"What do you think?" She asked rhetorically.
"It doesn't really matter, does it?" The demon responded with a question. "Y'know I actually planned to avoid any fights and risk losing my life."
"If you didn't want to lose your life, you shouldn't have made my brother a target." She responded as she approached the demon menacingly for a fight.
"I actually couldn't care less about your brother, but the demon he houses is going to be a problem for both hunters and demons."
"Hm?" She asked looking genuinely confused. "What do you mean?"
"Let's talk for a moment." The demon responded. "Let's talk about the menace that lies in your brother, the reaper angel, Thanatos."
"And why would I listen to a demon?" She asked adamantly.
"At this moment,, you're choosing between two demons; the demon before you, or the demon in your brother." It responded calmly.
"I give you five minutes before I lose my patience and kill you." She said belligerently.
"During the first demon era, Thanatos was lord and count. He toyed with the lives of regular humans and hunters, slaughtering them endlessly. It's easy to defend him when you never saw what he could do. Even demons were repulsed by the way he killed people. Wherever he went, there was death and destruction. That was how he earned the nickname, Reaper Angel."
There was a brief moment of silence which felt like an eternity, after which, Angelina responded, "So?" to the surprise of the demon.
"If I don't kill him, more of your people will die. You should be grateful." The demon added.
"So?" Angelina asked again nonchalantly.
"You're a hunter aren't you? Didn't you take an oath to protect humans from demons?" He asked, trying to convince her. "Thanatos is weak now. If he gets back to full strength, there will be no stopping him."
To the surprise of the demon, Angelina laughed heartily.
"Like I care," She responded, to the surprise of the demon. "Just because I'm a human doesn't make me all righteous. Just because I'm a hunter doesn't make me a savior. I'm only human. Do you know what that implies? (she took a short pause then continued) I don't care about this world. I don't care about saving everyone. In my opinion, those who do that are hypocrites."
"Everyone fights for something specific, I am no different. I don't fight for the world. I fight for my family. And as long as they're fine, I couldn't care about anything else." She added.
This time, it was the demon's turn to laugh. Angelina could have sworn it nearly blew out its guts laughing.
"Interesting." It said, "You humans really are interesting. What is your name?"
"Angelina Angels." She responded.
"Angels huh? How befitting." It said with a smile. "They call me shadow. It seems my five minutes are up."
It pulled out a dagger and held it towards Angelina.
"Shall we?" It asked as it stared at her intently.
