The door to a large study opened with an eerie sound, causing Anastasiya to look up from a pile of paper work. Her dark eyes locked with the light brown ones of Eliza. She sighed deeply, and pressed her pen to her lips. "I assume you're bothering me for a good reason, Elizabeth." She said. "I'm extremely busy." Eliza crossed her arms. "Really? Couldn't tell." She stated irritability. Anastasiya sighed deeply again. "What do you want?" She asked, with more force this time. Eliza let out a huff, and walked forward, leaning herself on Anastasiya's desk, twirling a strand of gold hair around her finger. "Well, darling. I have something you might want to hear about our fallen angel coworker." She said.
Anastasiya was not amused. She leaned back, and tapped her fingers on her book. "This better be good." She grumbled. Eliza found the tapping of her nails annoying, so she placed a hand on Anastasiya's. "Shut up and listen to me." She stated. "It appears Katsumi has taken a liking to that Ishikawa kid." Eliza said. Anastasiya didn't like the sound of that, nor the physical contact that Eliza was making. She gently picked Eliza's hand up off of hers whilst she spoke. "One; How are you aware of this fact? Two; Why should I care?" She asked. Eliza groaned, rubbing her eyes. "Do I have to spell it out for you?" She asked in irritation. "It's none of your business how I know. And you should care because his loyalty could waver." Anastasiya arched an eyebrow. "We've been through one hundred years of this job without Katsumi's help, what makes you think we'll fail if he wavers?"
Eliza huffed, pulling the old book from under Anastasiya's hand, and opened it, flipping to a page, and pointing at a paragraph of words. "You think we would've gotten this far without his help?" Eliza asked. "We're trying to rule the world, Anastasiya. We haven't gotten this far, we haven't gotten this many demons, and fallen angels behind our order, just to throw it all away because one of your recruits falls in love with a mortal!" Eliza's voice got more urgent with each word. "Katsumi knows our plans, in our plans we take out the human race, AND 'They Whom Shan't Be Named'! If Katsumi indeed falls for Ishikawa, he could very well rat us out to 'They Whom Shan't Be Named'!! If he does that, then all of our efforts will be for NOTHING."
Anastasiya listened silently to Eliza's rant, her dark eyes on the paragraph her finger pointed at. She hated to say it, but Katsumi at this point was a liability. Shame though, she had become quite fond of him. "Alright, I get your point." She heaved a sigh. "We must take Katsumi out and/or his mortal friend." She said. "You're correct.. Both would be a better choice, however. If we kill Ishikawa, Katsumi will definitely put an end to our organization, and not in the lawful way of telling 'They Whom Shan't Be Named'. If our suspicions are true, he will destroy us." Eliza said. "And if we kill Katsumi, Ishikawa will no doubt figure out his angelic heratige and, figure out the cause of his death being demonic, and rat us out to the nearest exorcist organization. Both or one. It's our lives you barter with." Eliza finished. "I will need to think on this. Leave." Anastasiya said. Eliza nodded. "As you wish." Eliza then turned to leave.
Outside the doors of the study, Lucinda leaned against the wall, listening in on the conversation. If she was honest, she wasn't to fond of the way they were going about taking over the heavens, earth, and hell, but the young succubus wanted nothing more than to rule, however, her mindset had soon changed. She looked down at the ground, torn between her loyalty to The Organization and her friendship with Katsumi. "Kill Katsu.." She whispered to herself. "That would start a riot with 'is followers if they find out it was them.." She looked up from the ground. "I 'ave to warn 'im, 'cause if I don' all our work will be for nothin'." She said to herself. She heard the door open, and quickly shifted into her animal form, to remain undetected. Eliza didn't notice the black widow on the floor next to the door, and walked down the hall. Lucinda transformed back into her human form, and let out a breath. "Alrigh' now to warn Katsu.." She said to herself, and took off down the hall.
