The slim youth hung limply from the large black cross, silver chains securing him to the structure. Crimson blood that leaked from several shallow cuts ran down his pale body, dripping to create a red puddle of the liquid at the base of the cross. His gleaming chestnut hair fell loosely, barely past the slim hips.

But what really caught his attention was the enormous pair of midnight black wings that gracefully arched from the back of the captive, delicate feathers looking bruised and abused.

A pair of snowy white wings unfolded from his own back as he launched himself into the air, drawing a gleaming blade as he did. Just as the sword was about to slice into the pale flesh, the youth wearily lifted his head, his stunningly clear, beautiful amethyst eyes glowing.

Briefly a crimson symbol flashed overhead and the white-winged angel found himself slicing at thin air.

Intense blue eyes narrowed in fury, but relaxed as he gently glided down. A faint smirk graced the angel's lips as he calmly lifted the sword. The blade gave a tiny jerk towards northeast slightly vibrating in his hand as it did so.

"How much further can you run, my pretty little Shinigami? You can't flee from me forever, and you can't hide from me. You're mine." Lips curved upwards into a predatory smile as the angel blasted a hole in the wall and soared northeast.

OoOoO

Duo trembled as his magical senses felt the nearing presence of the persistent angel. He had only managed to teleport a short distance away, the continuous use of his magic, the wounds, and the nauseating contact of the silver chain on his naked skin wearing down severely on his strength.

The situation he was in was entirely his fault. If only he hadn't sneaked out from his native kingdom and discovered a small breach in the magic boundary separating his kingdom and the heavenly one…

With a sparkle of delight in his eyes, the great black wings unfolded from the resting position snug against his back as he chanced a brief flight around the forest, wanting to see the fabled beauty of the Heavenly Kingdom for himself.

His wings opened to the fullest extent, Duo lazily floated on a gentle but strong breeze, his long chestnut braid draped securely over one slim shoulder, expressive amethyst eyes squinting against the golden sunlight.

A sudden chill ran up his spine and Duo shivered, despite the pleasant warmth of the day.

"What are you doing here all alone, little bird?"

He immediately angled his wings and dove, executing a complicated quarter spiral with an improvised dodge upwards in midair as a spell shot perilously close past him to slam into the forest canopy, causing an explosion that tossed debris into the air. Duo was forced to draw his wings defensively around him as the feathery shield deflected small stones and shards of wood.

"Not bad." The husky voice said, almost sounding amused. Duo suddenly bit back a cry of pain as strong hands harshly grabbed the vulnerable black wings from behind. Feeling faint and nauseous, Duo struggled weakly, helpless in his enemy's grasp, knowing how easy it would be for those hands to break the delicate limbs. "No one has managed to completely dodge that attack before, little bird."

Duo gasped as the hands cruelly tightened their grip on the wings. With darkness appearing at the edge of his vision, he whispered faintly a question.

"Why?"

As the unconscious fallen angel collapsed limply in the strong arms of his enemy, the answer was softly spoken.

"Because you are mine, Shinigami. Mine for eternity"
