Gangrene.”
    “Look, Lilith, I’ve tried to be polite for the sake of my boss. I know you’re his friend. I also know you’re friendly with Leech the angel slayer so…”
    Lilith cut him off.
    “Leech the what?”
    “Angel slayer. It’s what he’s being called now. We’ve heard rumors…”
    Lilith interrupted him with a fit of laughter.
    “What rumors? That he killed a minor angel’s bodyguard?”
    “Well there’s that… but he also killed Ambriel while he was on Earth. Isn’t that also true?”
    Lilith nodded to confirm that he was correct. She was one of the few that knew the real circumstances behind Leech killing a middle angel but since she didn’t want to advertise that Leech occasionally wielded an angel’s blade, she kept quiet about it. As she continued to grin at the ridiculous title, Gangrene’s demon-in-training returned and kneeled at her feet while holding a scroll above her head. She took it from his hand and read it.
    “Gangrene, this just confirms what I told you. Shadow gave me your army.”
    “Let me see it.”
    “No.”
    “Lilith I read it when it came in. It said you can have your sister, the little demon-in-training girl I took in a raid on one of Vixen’s whore houses.”
    “And if I insist that I’m taking your army?”
    Lilith drew her whip from her belt. Gangrene removed a spear that was attached to his back.
    “I’ll stop leading this army when I stop breathing. I’ll send for Lord Shadow and take you into custody if you insist on continuing on in this manner. I’m done playing nice.”
    Lilith struck with her whip and pulled the spear from Gangrene’s hands. She threw it back at his feet and laughed.
    “Don’t worry, Gangrene. I know I’m just here for my sister. I’ve just been kind of bored today so I decided to mess with you a little bit. I can see why Shadow likes you though. You’re almost as adorable as the little dart throwing guy that Shadow promoted a while back.”
    “Muan? I’m twice the demon he is.”
    “I didn’t come here to question your ego. If you’ll go fetch my sister for me, I’ll be on my way and you can get back to… whatever the hell you do.”
    Gangrene picked up his spear and sent a demon-in-training to retrieve Lilith’s sister. Nothing would make him happier than having the two craziest women he had met gone from his camp. He had no idea why Shadow and Leech put up with her.
    The demon-in-training reappeared carrying a sack of armor and a whip. Behind him walked a demoness in a black robe. She had long dark hair like Lilith and similar eyes but she looked a few years younger. When they made it to within a few feet of Gangrene, she turned to the demon-in-training.
    “Thanks, sweetie.”
    The demon-in-training blushed bright red.
    “I will miss your beauty in our camp, my lady.”
    She giggled. Gangrene rolled his eyes.
    “You’ve retrieved her and carried all of her stuff here. Now get back to the damn camp and arrange my weapons alphabetically until I decide you can stop.”
    The demon-in-training bowed at Gangrene and ran off back to camp, looking slightly embarrassed. Lilith’s sister walked up to Gangrene.
    “So are you going to miss me too, Gangy?”
    “No. You and your crazy ass sister can get the hell out of my camp now.”
    Lilith’s sister blew him a kiss and Gangrene couldn’t help but grin for several seconds. He was finally able to wipe the smirk off his face and replace it with a look of annoyance bordering on anger.
    “Fuck Vixen and all of her daughters.”
    With that, he turned and swiftly walked back to his camp.
    Lilith’s sister finally turned and looked Lilith over.
    “You’re not prettier than I am, Lilith.”
    Lilith couldn’t help but giggle. Her sister walked up to her and hugged her. Lilith couldn’t help but think that her little sister was one of the most adorable demonesses she had ever met. She eventually released the embrace, stepped back a few paces, and bowed at Lilith’s
