"So how long is this going to take?" the prince asked, making paper planes and watching them flow through the room.
I sighed for the fifth time in the past hour, "Not long if you stop bothering me with paper planes." Snatching one from hitting the drowsy demon and throwing it somewhere else.
"But that will take forever." He whined and started to play with the equipment.
"It wouldn't take forever if you just sit still for one second!" hissing lowly and continuing to work on the demon.
The Prince slumped down in his chair and mumbled, "moody."
I scoffed lightly, "What's your name anyways?" stabbing the creature as it screeched in pain.
He smirked slightly, "My name is Shogun Hitori, Prince of the underworld. Next in line for the thrown." He looked at me with a devilish grin, "terrified?"
I looked at him like he just asked me the dumbest question in the world as was debating whether I should to take him serious or not.
"Okay and my name is Ash Knight, it's a pleasure to meet you." I said and got back to work on the demon, not caring of the prince's rank in the underworld.

I Gasped in disbelief and stared at the dark-haired woman, who has her back towards me, wide eyed.
I expected her to tremble in fear as I announced my name to her. I never thought that a human wouldn't care about me cause of my rank,I knows plenty of humans that would literally get on their knees and beg for forgiveness. Never in my many years of living in the underworld or in the human world has he ever met someone like Ash, a woman who wasn't afraid to say what's on her mind to anyone who didn't deserve it.
"Did you not hear me when is said ' Prince of the underworld ' as in the next ruler of the dark and evil place you humans a afraid of?" I exclaimed in shock and anger.
Ash just looked at me like another just human being that she sees everyday, "and?" she asked, uninterested with the conversation.
"AND?! What do you mean and? you should be scared of me!" I said in anger and paused for a moment and stared at her, "why aren't you scared of me?" I asked curiously.
Ash sighed and took off her bloodstained clothes, "why would I be scared of you?" she asked cleaning her equipment and putting on clean clothes on the other side of the room where I can't see her, "from what i can tell, you didn't do anything that makes me scared of you so far." comes out and smiles sweetly at him, " you seem pretty nice to me now."
I stared at her astonished. I didn't think that she would say that to me, a prince of the underworld, a person someone should fear for their lives, but this human wasn't scared of me at all.
"Did you just called me nice?" I asked.
"Yeah i mean you did save me from a demon beck there and brought me one for testing so, yeah i called you nice." she said smiling slightly.
From what I can tell Ash isn't one to show others what she feels and tends to change the subject from the looks of her office or lab.
"Are you the one who freed me, from my coffin?" standing behind her, trying to make her feel intimidated.
She slowly turned and looked me in the eye, "kinda."
"Kinda?, what do mean kinda? Did someone help you or something like a demon tell you how to open it?" I asked lowly. How can a mere human open a royal demon's coffin with out the consult of the dark council?
"Well it was more like a whisper or whispers that told me to open the coffin or break the chains, i don't know it all happened so sudden and i wasn't completely myself either." She said uneasy.
I knew someone opened my coffin I was just hoping it would be someone worthy to protect, i wasn't expecting a human to open the lid much less break the chains.
"Is it something we should be worried about?" she asked lowly, fiddling with her dark hair between her fingers.
"No, it's something you shouldn't be worried about." lying to her, even though she deserves the truth, i couldn't bring myself to tell me that...
