Mephistophiles pouted stormily. "God struck down my friend," he said, pointing to Netsubo. "And I'm sad. Will you please help me? I helped you renovate the sixth circle," he added.

"What is it you want me to do?"Lucifer questioned,"And what are you prepared to offer?"
Netsubo shook her head,"Don't! Mephisto, I'm not worth it!"

Mephisto stared blankly at the Prince of Darkness. "I really don't know. I hadn't really thought of it... what can I do?"
Faust's jaw dropped. "Damnit, Mephisto, you always do this!"

Lucifer thought, placing his forefinger and thumb on his chin,"This is quite the perplexing issue....You already work for me, you already basically live in Hell...What CAN you give?"
Netsubo floated in front of Mephisto,"Why are you jumping into things without thinking!?"

"It's in my nature," Mephisto said apologetically. "I'd still be an angel, if I didn't... not that I want to be, he said quickly, glancing at Lucifer. "Um... you want Faust?"
Faust gaped. "You...!"
"You can take him," Yuki said, crossing his arms and glaring. "This is ALL his fault."

Lucifer gave a smirk,"Oh, I'd like his soul...However it's still too pure for Hell..."
Netsubo seemed to relax slightly.

"What?!" Mephistophiles asked incredulously. "I've been chipping away at that soul for 37 years! How can it still be too pure? What does that bleeder have to do?"
"Do whatever you want..." Faust said, turning his back on Yuki. "There's really nothing left to live for anymore, is there?"

Lucifer gave a wicked smile, evil flashing in his eyes,"Oh? Is that so? Now tell me.... Why exactly were you living before? You hardly even touched the girl over there who was supposed to be your wife."

Faust shook his head, his eyes blank. "I never really cared about that... in the end, it would have hurt both of us. I..." he faltered, staring straight into the eyes of the Devil. "I don't rightly know. I don't know what I've been living for."

Lucifer had that evil glint in his eyes again, while Netsubo wasn't facing any of them. Faust's words had hurt her badly.
"Well, I suppose I could take his soul..."Lucifer said smoothly.

"If you do... she comes back. Healthy, as she would have been without the blood bane?" Faust asked.
Mephistophiles nodded. "Yeah. That's right... isn't it, Dad?"

Lucifer shrugged,"Sure, why not? Anything else while I'm here?"
"Don't I get a say in this?"She mumbled.

Faust took a seat on a large piece of concrete that had shaken free in the collapse. "I'm ready," he said simply, clasping his hands loosely in his lap.
Mephistophiles raised an eyebrow. "Geez... I guess that you are. Any last wishes?"
"Not really," Faust said. "I guess... can you get Netsubo and Yuki out of the Yakuza s**t, if that's possible?"

"Simple...Now, last chance. Are you sure you want to die for her?"Lucifer grinned. This was better than he thought!
"Why is it that my opinions get ignored?"Netsubo questioned them.

"Yes," Faust said calmly. "I'm sure. But I know how you operate... so I want her to have a good life. I want her to meet the man she was supposed to marry, and marry him. I want Yuki to have a good life as well, living it as he sees fit. You can take my soul, if indeed you can salvage what's left of it."
"You're a ghost," Mephistophiles said, finally acknowledging Netsubo. "Your opinions don't weigh a thing against the arguments of the living."
