3rd POV

"So, when is this guy gonna be here?" Ray asked with boredom laced in her voice as she munched on the tuna rice ball. They were currently parked at a gas station. Apparently whoever sent the devil duo, facilitated them with a pick up truck to drive to a designated meeting spot.

"Soon." Her eyes watched Denji with worry in them. His demeanor was more serious than usual, and she didn't know if it was good or bad. The blonde slightly flinched as his colleague placed her hand on his shoulder.

"I know this is all fucked up, but we're in this together yeah? Everything will be okay." His eyes softened at her words

"I hope so. I don't want Makima to kill us all before I can lose my virginity!" She chuckled at the hormonal boy before her. Losing him and Power would be very upsetting since they've all developed a special bond. Speaking of Power..

"Where's P?" He rolled his eyes and pointed towards the back of the pickup truck with his thumb. Pink locs slowly came into view, Power's peaceful face following after, showcasing the beauty in deep slumber.

"Aww, she's cute when she doesn't wanna murder and eat everything." She watched the drool drip out of her friend's mouth, with awe of course.

"Wait, I think that's him!" They turned their heads and watched as two black cars with tinted windows pulled up to the gas station park, and several men, wearing all black exited.

Out of the first car stepped a tall, blonde man who seemed to be middle aged. He gave one of the guards beside him a sharp look, prompting him to light the cigarette between his lips.

In contrast to him, a young handsome, dark haired man stepped out of the second vehicle. Contrary to the blonde, who had four, he only had two bodyguards. A beauty mark decorated his face, making him unique in a way.

Both men and their entourages made their way towards the group of devils. Ray was slightly weary as she felt a bit intimidated by the older guy in particular. Denji must've sensed this since he proceeded to nudge her in a comforting manner.

"Chill, you look like you're about to shit your pants!" She narrowed her eyes at him

"Well can you blame me?! Look at that fucker!" She whisper yelled

"Ehem."

Her head slowly turned from Denji to face the man, who currently towered over her. He proceeded to take a long drag of his cigarette, exhale right onto her face and throw the butt away.

"Thanks.." her tone laced with sarcasm.

"Don't mind him, he's just tryna intimidate you." The cute black haired guy spoke up from behind him. He extended his hand for Ray to shake.

"You must be Ray, the half devil. I'm Yoshida and this big guy is captain Kishibe." He offered a small smile with the introduction. The half deviled girl before him took his hand and slowly shook it.

"Yeah, nice to meet you Yoshida. And you too, sir.." Her eyes struggled to meet Kishibe s hard gaze. He simply gave a curt nod. Denji smirked at his colleague.

"Well aren't we being formal, ey?" He snickered

"Oh fuck Off you little virgin." She playfully rolled her eyes.

"We need to discuss a few things." Their moment was interrupted by captain Kishibe's hoarse voice laced with seriousness. Ray furrowed her eyebrows and nodded at him.

"Yes, yes we do. Wait let me wake up our other teammate." Swiftly she made her way towards the back of the truck and started to wake the horned beauty up, which was anything but an easy task.

"Come on P, wake up." Finally, her eyes fluttered open, and her cheeks slightly flushed at the sight of her partner. She looked mesmerizing to Ray- her hair a bit messy, the pale skin she wore a tad pink, her eyes squinted. A rare beauty indeed.

"What?!" Of course her harsh tone snapped Ray out of the trance. And here I was, falling in love with her.

"The captain is here with his crew, we're about to discuss some plans."

The group of five sat inside a small cafe near the gas station, with the men acting as security, keeping watch outside.

"I take it we all are aware of Makima and her plans." Kishibe began, taking a sip of his black coffee. Everybody nodded in sync.

"How long have you known for?" He nodded at the dark half devil, who only sighed at the current events.

"Since my birthday.." The looks on Power and Denji's faces were enough to make the overgrowing guilt in her heart consume her.

"Since then?? And you didn't say or do shit about it?" Anger overtook Denji's voice, as he expressed his disappointment.

"I know! I was just horny.." Yoshida chuckled a bit and shook his head at Ray. He was evidently trying to difuse the situation.

"We all have those moments. And besides, it's not like she would've been able to stop Makima herself."

"That is in fact the harsh truth." Kishibe added. Power huffed and crossed her arms, growing restless and bored by the conversation.

"Who gives a damn about all this?! Let's all go back and beat her up—boom! Problem solved!"

"As inviting as that sounds, with Makima, we need to be a bit more coordinated." The captain explained. "I have a plan, which may or may not work, depending on everyone's willingness."

"Oh, I'm definitely willing! Let's go!" Ray could only shake her head at her colleagues' ignorance. They simply aren't aware of the power Makima holds. Terrifying wouldn't even begin to describe that woman.

"Depression devil, you will be playing the most crucial part in this ploy." Her eyes widened at this.

"Me?" She asked with disbelief, pointing to herself. The man simply nodded. "Alright then. I'm ready, give it to me captain."

"Makima seems to have taken interest in you, in many ways that is.." His tone was obviously referring to the sexual relations she's had with the red head, which made her tense up a bit.

"With that, using you as bait would be the smartest thing to do. Makima is an intelligent woman, so she's probably expecting this-" He pulled out a cigarette and placed it between his lips.

"Okay? So then what's the point if she knows?" Confusion colored her sharp features as she inquired.

"Well, while you're executing your part of the plan, we will be utilizing the ignorance of a fellow devil hunter and using to our advantage." Power coughed at the smoke he exhaled directly at her.

"Fellow devil hunter...?"

"Your squad leader, Aki Hayakawa." Yoshida added. The three before him tensed at the mention of him-he was Makima's biggest admirer, constantly speaking highly of her and ensuring her safety at all times.

"Hayakawa is currently unaware of the state of the association. He is under the impression, that the three of you had misbehaved and were currently undergoing a special punishment program to rehabilitate and discipline you."

"Damn. He really don't know shit, huh." I wish I could go back to thinking Makima was nothing but a perfect saviour.

"On the day of the operation, Ray will "distract" Makima, knowing we're up to something, her guard will be up at all times-"

"You will have have to prove your loyalty to her in some way, so whatever she'll demand, do it."

"What if she wants me to kill a thousand people?"

"Then you kills thousand people." A small smirk made its way on her face. The devil in her still enjoyed killing after all.

"She won't completely trust you but that's fine, because Hayakawa will play the bigger role." She and Denji raised their eyebrows at this.

"How? What's Aki gonna do?" Yoshida gave captain Kishibe a look which he returned.

"May I?"

"Yes you may."

"Hayakawa will be responsible for killing Makima."
