The seven brothers

hearing the call end Yuki received the phone back again. "sounds like you had a nice chat."

"well I don't really know what he's like, to be truly honest I would've preferred you, Lucifer"

"You look even more worried now, huh."

Having Diavolo put his arms around Yuki's shoulders he then rested his head on top of hers and sighed "well, if you were suddenly brought to a strange place and then get told that an unfamiliar face will now take care of you, you'd certainly feel anxious. However, Mammon isn't the only one to help you out." removing his head off Yuki, Diavolo then laughed "Now then...we still need to introduce our new friend to your brothers, Lucifer. And it's probably better that you do that instead of me, wouldn't you say?"

Glancing at his brothers and then back to Diavolo Lucifer gave a doubtful look "Yes...as much as I dread the idea of doing so, you're right."

"oh, come now. Really? You should be honoured that you get to introduce such a sweet and charming little brother like me" looking at a boy with long sweeping bangs of light, caramel-pinkish blond hair and reddish-yellow eyes Yuki gave a slight blush. He was the shortest in the room but no one could deny that he was the most attractive.

"This one here is Asmodeus. He's the fifth eldest. He is the Avatar of lust"

"Wh... I can't believe you just totally ignored what I said! And not only that, you referred to me as this one. How rude!" raising his hand across his chest as if he'd been offended Yuki could see that Asmodeus had nails in the colour of hot pink and lime green, fully manicured and looked after.

"Hmph. At least he didn't ignore you altogether. How do you think I feel?" looking at the impatient brother Yuki could see that he had messy, layered blond hair with green and yellow gradient eyes. It was obvious that he disliked Lucifer from the way his eyes never stopped glaring at his elder brother for one second and it was obvious that Lucifer couldn't care less about his brother's opinion.

"That one there is Satan, the fourth eldest of us. At first glance, he may seem like a responsible demon with a good head on his shoulders, but looks can be deceiving."

"Aha, so I'm that one, am I?" looking at Yuki he then smiled "Nice to meet you, Yuki"

"nice to meet you too"

"To be completely honest I can introduce myself without help from my brother, I am Satan. The avatar of wrath."

Looking confused Yuki then questioned "....Avatar?....The avatar of Wrath?" then looking at Asmodeus she continued "...and the Avatar of lust?" seeing his face light up Asmodeus then winked at Yuki

"That's right! It pretty much sums up what I'm about! Including my power, Let's give a little demonstration! Yuki, could you gaze into my eyes for a moment?" giving a slight worried look Asmodeus then re-assured her "It's okay, I won't hurt you. Come on, don't be shy..."

"I-I'm not shy! It's just....I've never been this close to a boy before...just....just let me breath for a while" taking in a deep breath Yuki then locked her gaze into Asmodeus's "Yes, great! That's perfect! Now, keep your eyes fixed on mine. Just like that...."

Becoming slightly confused by the situation Yuki's gaze began to wonder "was something supposed to happen? Because.... the only thing that's happened is that I'm starting to become very uncomfortable with this situation" bringing Yuki's gaze to meet him once again Asmodeus thought that he saw something in her eyes.

"...wait a minute. There's something about you....hmm..."

"I should probably warn you, Yuki: you'd best be wary of Asmodeus's gaze. He can charm and manipulate people and use them to his own advantage. If you're not careful. He'll charm you. And once you're under his spell. He'll eat you."

Slowly backing away from Asmodeus, Yuki then felt her hand intertwine with his as he pulled her in closer, he then glared at Satan. "Hey, don't go around saying things like that..." looking back at Yuki he then gave a slight smile "Hmm...regardless, my power doesn't seem to work this time for some reason. I wonder why." releasing his grasp on her, Yuki then ran away from him and towards Lucifer.

"Are you done?"

"Lucifer! I don't really like you brothers!"

"i have 4 more to introduce and believe me, I don't very much like them myself at times. Now, the one there with the very grumpy look on his face is Beelzebub. He's the sixth eldest." looking at the tallest person in the room Yuki saw that he had messy, almost spiky orange hair with a purple and pink gradient eye colour. Despite him wearing the same form of uniform as the others you could clearly see his ripped muscles and abs through the fabric almost stretching it to the point that any movement could cause it to rip at the seams, which in Yuki's opinion wouldn't be so bad.

"Lucifer. I'm hungry"

"That's too bad. Now behave yourself"

"I'm Beelzebub, the avatar of gluttony" looking at his sad face Yuki then gave a worried look as if to say that she could understand his feeling of hunger and that if she could do something then and there she would have.

"So... There are seven of us brothers in all, and I am the eldest. Mammon, the second oldest of us, will be here soon. My other brothers aren't here at the moment, but...well, we can get to them later. All in good time"

"During your stay in the devildom, the seven brothers will lend you their strength. To keep you safe. You are to stay with them at the house of lamentation."

"To keep me safe?" looking at Asmodeus he was closely monitoring Yuki's every move; Satan was still glaring harshly at Lucifer and Beelzebub was eyeing Yuki up as some kind of meal. "yeah....I don't think that keeping me in a house with these demons would keep me safe"

"don't worry Yuki, we won't hurt you, I'll make sure that my brothers keep their hands off you besides, most agree with Diavolo, but that doesn't mean that there aren't vulgar demons out there who wouldn't harm you. If anything were to happen to you, it would be our responsibility. And I won't betray Diavolo's expectations. So, I will do everything in my power to make sure you survive your stay down here in the devildom. Although we will all be living together, you should still have the means to reach us at any given time. All of our phone numbers are already in there, and your D.D.D. also has a messaging app."

"I'll go ahead and send you a message!" within seconds Yuki's D.D.D began to flash like crazy, seeing that she received a message from everyone in the room she began to smile until Satan chimed in "Isn't that nice. Yuki. Now you will be friends with the future king of the devildom!"

"...I'm not sure whether that was sarcasm towards me or just an attempt to try and get Lucifer to notice you Satan"
