The girl wondered through the war torn streets, looking for somewhere to rest but looking wouldn't be the word she used. She was wounded while flying. Her pure white dress now covered in rubble from her fall and arrows half dug into her wings, making her unable to fly away to her home. Her eyes were wounded and she could not see. She hoped that no one would see or find her. She sung to calm herself down. She sang a song her mother had taught her. Each night she would hear it but on the night that was fast approaching, she wouldn't.
As the broken angel felt around the walls, still singing, she could her someone or something running up behind her. She leaped up, trying to fly with her injured wings but just ended up falling back down.
'Are you alright Miss?' she heard the man call. The angel tensed up and tried running, whispering the song to herself but just ended up falling over in her state of panic. 'Miss! Please! I won't hurt you.' The girl lifted and turned her head in the direction the voice was coming from. She started edging backwards as she heard him stepping closer. 'Are you okay? Do you need help?' he asked, holding out his hand to help her up, completely unaware she couldn't see him. The angel could feel her tears making their way out of her body. She wiped her dirt covered hands on her dress and brought them up to her eyes. 'Don't do that. Here.' The man said, brushing her hands away and wiping her tears away with his handkerchief. 'What's your name?'
'Rin.' The angel replied, sobbing into his hands at the kindness she didn't expect to find here.
'Well Rin…it's not safe to be out here. How about you come with me and I'll fix you up?' the man smiled, holding out his hand again. The girl nodded but stayed still. 'May I ask…can you see?' the man asked, noticing she had kept her eyes shut the whole time. Rin shook her head, looking down. She seemed surprised when the man lifted her onto his back.
'What…what are you doing?' Rin stuttered, trying to free herself from his grip.
'I wouldn't want you to fall again.' He laughed.
'How about a story?' the man asked. He had given the girl a clean dress to wear and had removed the arrows from her wings once they had arrived at his house. He had also flushed her eyes out with water and covered them for the time being while they healed. In his land, he would have lost his head if he was to be found housing an angel so of course, they had to keep this a secret between the two of them.
'What's your name?' the angel asked, following the sounds of his footsteps.
'My name? Haven't I told you?'
'No.'
'Len. My name is Len.' Rin smiled at this.
'Our names match!' the girl laughed while following his footsteps.
War had broken out. The angel king had found out about his daughter along with many others who had been declared missing were being kept in demons land. He had demanded that they be returned but the demon king refused. They were his prisoners after all but the daughter, he had no idea where she was. He had no children in his prisons. Men were forced to join the war, losing their lives in the process. One of those men forced to join was Len. He and other men weren't told why they were fighting, only told that what they were doing was for a good cause. Many believed in the demon king, thinking that he would lead them to success if they lived and won. Each day was filled with the twangs of bows, the clashes of swords, and the sounds of men collapsing and groaning while they slowly died. Men running into battle with thoughts of victory just ended up with final thoughts of loved ones. Today was the day Len was to be in his more or less final battle, going up against the Angel King's army. He stood with all the other men who would more or less lose their own lives in the fight. He could only just make out the sounds of trumpets, his brain screaming at him to kill every single angel who got in his path to the King.
When his own King gave the signal, he ran forth, his sword ready to bring anyone down. Arrows were heading towards him with every step he took, running from side to side to avoid them, slashing each angel who got in his way. He was getting closer and closer to the oppositions king, his comrades falling down around him, until he noticed an arrow coming straight for him. There was no way he could avoid it with his allies surrounding him. Len guessed it was his time to die. He closed his eyes to accept his fate. He opened them again when he heard something fall hard onto the ground in front of him. Tears fell from his eyes once he realised it was Rin. Had she been following him the whole time? Why would she fly in front of an arrow for him? Her wings weren't even fully healed yet. He felt rage built up inside of him. He knew the arrow wasn't meant to hit her but he couldn't control himself.
He ran forth, every single part of his body filled with anger, avoiding any arrow he could until he was finally struck down with one himself. He fell to the ground, clutching his clothing around the arrow. As his mind started to go blank, he could have sworn he had seen the devil standing in front of him playing his pitch black symphony smiling at him. He didn't want to die. He needed to protect the girl. He needed to protect Rin. Take her somewhere safe to heal and watch over her. He needed to protect that precious smile of hers. He tried to at least sit up to see behind to check that she was still there. He thanked whatever god might have been watching that she was still safe. It felt as time stopped around him when he slowly fell from reality into the realm where the devil stayed as he starting losing his consciousness.
AN: Thankyou Sychronicity girl for requesting one of my favourite Kagamine songs and I'm sorry for the wait! This was actually really fun to write. This was meant to be for the 'Book Of Songs' but I got carried away and have decided to write a few chapters for it. Hope you enjoy it and Thankyou for reading!
