Lucifer:

I slowly make my way back inside, the smell of Yuki's cooking drawing me in. I sit down with him at the makeshift cardboard box table and eat the omelette he has cooked for us, "thanks for the meal Yuki" I say to him. "No problem you need your energy up for today" he replies, I nod my head at him and place my dishes in the sink. Then I make my way over to my room to collect my guns and put on my tie, I pull a cigarette and my lighter out of my pants pocket. TCHK! The flame ignites and I place the end of the cigarette over it, the bright white gradually turning to neon reds and oranges then finally to charcoal black. I put the butt in my mouth and inhale deeply, feeling a calmness wash over me as I exhale the grey smoke. "Hey" an angry Yuki yells from the other room "what did I say about smoking in here!?", "this is my apartment shithead" I call back. "Now shut up let's go" I say

loudly. I walk to the door, Yuki right on my heels I can feel him grimacing behind me because of the smoke. I smirk at his discomfort and then open the door. CREAK! Standing there is my number two and three. "Hey boss" Azael says "you ready for today?" I look at him up and down "why wouldn't I be" I say firmly. "Good to see you Ryu, let's head out".
