Crossroad of D. Gray man/Bleach/Naruto
One main OC character named Niah
Other OC are mainly angels and except for Lucifer, Gabriel and Michael noone is really important.
(For those people who read my other stories and are already familiar with Niah character. Yes, she looks the same. Yes, I'm obsessed with this girl. So what. It is my alter ego so it's meaningless to create something I'm not familiar with, may it be outer apearance or personality.
Still... I must say... The journey is different. The story is different. The trials are different and this makes a totally different person.)
(Other OC are eather unsignificant or are in reality a character already known but hidden.)
Rated M because of adoult themes, gore, curses and other things I myself am stil not aware of.
Important:
I do not recommend reading if you're not familiar with all three worlds.
There might be possible spoilers in the future and I am sorry for that, but I won't be telling you... you must see it for yourself.
I won't alert you before sex themes or anything other author's are spoiling you with.
Also...
I don't like bitching about my story. If you are a flamer I will extinguish you in a second or let you burn until your heart's content. I am also a bit sloppy with TIME so characters will probably be acting accordingly to my story.
(It means that in between some missions or events will pass more time than in the original. I do not like to fill unnecesary holes and shorten stuff that I wrote so get used to it dammit.)
Also. I decide the pairings, you can let me know what you like and maybe persuade me about something but hey... Often I am as hard as a rock with my decisions.
One more thing... When you say I spelled something wrong or something just sounds wrong don't tell me just the freaking word. How the hell can I find a single word in 15 pages long chapter? Describe it man. I'm also mortal you know.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, man or Bleach. I do not own the songs which titles I mention in the story. I do not own some phraises or whatever you people must own out there in the big vast world. I only own the ideas and my character Niah.
This disclaimer is for the whole story because I won't be writing it again.It's troublesome.

Prologue
Once upon a time there was a God, creator of everything. But he was the only one of his kind and eventually he became very lonely. His loneliness gave birth to deferent dimensions, worlds, outstanding creatures. He enjoyed to look over his past, enjoyed the company of his achievements but even that couldn`t satisfy him.
He created an angel. The first and the fairest of its kind and named it.
And that is where our story began, when an angel named Niah was born.
.*.
"When someone cuts your wings you realize you always loved to fly."
My father always told me I bow to no one. He taught me many things and many things I learned. I love my father. I love his purpose, the worlds he created. I love him because he created me and gave me life.
As you know, angels are born without a gender. They choose it when they become of age or earlier. I choose to become a female… I choose it because I fell in love.
Because my father was a God and I was the first he created, I was also first in line to inherit the throne. I was loved and worshiped because of my power and wisdom.
I loved my brothers, my fellow angels. I cherished them and always treated them equally. But there was one I cherished the most. I, Niah the first, loved one of them more and the balance with that emotion was off.
.*.
He was my whole existence and I fell for him the moment he was created, the same moment he opened his eyes and looked at us, his older ones. He was just a child back then and I was already a maiden but his soul… It felt so warm, almost hot and so very kind. We named him Lex.
But then he… he never grew wings and we were worried. Our father looked at his back every day and kissed his shoulder blades with his magic but there was nothing. After small and weak clouds started to disintegrate under him we always had to protect him.
He was sadder and sadder every day.
…
But I tried to comfort him. I was clumsy at first and he was too shy… But then he felt it too. The love for me and we started with the stolen kisses when nobody was watching. We tried each others barriers with slight touches. We spent time together and suddenly I get to know him.
His silent outer nature which felt like water and his true nature of a fire which he showed only to me, I felt special because he opened only infront of my very eyes.
.*.
Our love grew while we grew up. I was happy. He was gentle to me and I appreciated him. I kept thanking my father for creating him. But I couldn't sit still… Something was eating him from the inside.
"Lex… What do you intend to do?" I asked him while brushing his hair away from his face. We were watching the sunset and I was happy like this. With his head on my lap.
He had longer hair than me and the color of his hair changed from time to time depending on his mood.
His hair color was red, bright red, wine red, slightly black but in this moment his hair was identical to the red in the sunset.
He sighted.
"I don't know Niah… I don't know…" A long pause. I knew he was thinking really hard at the moment, clipping together a reply.
"I will leave Heaven…" It shook me trough like lightning. I looked him in the eyes. I saw pure sadness there.
"What…are…you…talking about?" Tears formed in my eyes and he cupped my cheek in his palm, trying to hold it even closer to me.
"I cannot be a burden any longer Niah. You know that. It is eating me from the inside out!" I couldn`t believe what he was stating. A burden? Never! I stood fiercely and took two steps back, totally enraged.
"What are you talking about ? Burden! Don`t make a fool out of me! We gave you name. We are protecting you! We love you Lex… I love you! And you`ll leave me?" He now stood up, his long red hair turning into almost black.
"That is exactly why I have to leave you! I cannot live as I want up here! There is always someone with me. I cannot even take a shit alone…" I couldn`t believe what he was saying. We were a burden for him… And another thing… It was me who was always by his side protecting him. It was me for the most of the time and now he was saying I wasn`t needed anymore. That I wasn`t wanted… anymore.
He stopped talking when he realize what he said but it was already too late.
"Niah…" he said carefully, reaching his hand out toward me in regret. I stepped another step back seeing blurry all of a sudden. Deep cries rolled out of my body and I pushed his hand violently away.
"Niah I didn`t mean it like that… I`m sorry!" But I was crying loud now and only trying to run away from that pain he was causing to me.
"Get back! Don`t touch me!" Lex tried to hug me but the effort was meaningless. The argument caused a commotion and others came.
"Get away from me you deceiver! You can die for all I care!" It hurt him so bad he stopped moving and his hands fell to his side. He turned around in his anger and tried to hold back his wrath and sadness while his shoulders shook. He fisted his palms.
All the audience gasped in shock. We were together for hundreds of years and even I couldn`t believe that such a small argument could do us part. But I couldn`t say sorry to him now, my pride was at stake and I just couldn`t afford to lose it. I would have lost everything.
I was shaking in depress, I was so sad the clouds were crying for a week now. Father came to me and tried to soothe me but nothing helped much. I was hugging my knees on the brink of heaven. Bright, wide and soft wings were spread behind me hiding me from sight.
Father also told me Lex asked him for a favor. He wanted father to make him mortal and create him a companion… and father agreed. I was plain furious.
We weren`t abandoning each other, we were just arguing and now he brings out a matter so excruciating to my heart. What will this companion look like… a bird? Dragon? Or maybe… No. He couldn`t do that to me…
A woman…
.*.
"Father! Father!" I came running from behind, wrapping my hands around him, my white hair forcing it`s way to the front.
"What is it my precious child?" Father gently unwrapped my arms and faced me, already knowing what was disturbing my mind.
"Is it true father that Lex asked you for a wife? Is it true that he will live on the Green planet until he dies? He is abandoning me father, isn`t he?"
Father pulled me into an embrace, shushing my cries while singing me lullaby.
"Hush my child, hush. He decided that by and for himself. We cannot force him to stay where he is not happy. You should understand what it means to be lonely in a beautiful but different place. After all you were the only one for such a long time."
"But father. He isn`t lonely. He has us. We are so happy to help him. We love him… I love him more than anything father… Why can`t he see that? Why father, why?"
"Niah my child… He loves us too, he loves us all but a bird who cannot fly cannot belong to the sky. A fish which cannot swim is not suited for the water… You should understand it better than anyone Niah. He is losing his soul like this and if he loses his soul, he is lost forever."
The cries of mine couldn`t be silenced and a storm broke out, destroying everything on its path.
.*.
A spike of anger and jealously cut it`s way toward my heart when Father first preventer Lex`s companion to us.
She was beautiful. She had curly, black and shiny long hair. Comparing to me she had a real woman`s body. Big and beautiful breasts, attractiveness naturally shone off her in all directions. She had blue-gray eyes and full heart shaped lips. She had a body of a goddess. Lex wasn`t the only one keeping interest in her, there were many of our brothers who weren't rejected by that beauty.
I felt abandoned.
But however I was thinking… Lex deserved the best.
.*.
All good words left me when that snake started sneaking all my brothers for herself. She wasn`t loyal to Lex as she looked. I had it over my head…
"Stop talking bad behind Lex`s back! He is trying his best and you don`t even give him a chance!"
"Oh, the Niah of the Light personally." Lilith mocked me. "What do you want you flat-chest imp?" She laughed coldly at me but I was not afraid. I was the most powerful angel ever existed and it was dangerous to provoke me.
"Do not dare to call me names you demon. You who are of the Night… Better stop treating Lex in such way or…"
"Or what? You will punish me? You are too afraid to do it you imp. You are afraid of the hate and anguish Lex will release on you."
Lilith laughed wickedly and pulled my hair to such extent she chopped one third of them out.
"You are just plain jealous. Jealous that I can fuck him into oblivion and you can`t. Jealous I will bare his children and you won`t. Jealous that now he loves me and not you!"
I lost it in that moment and pushed her over the edge. She went flying horizontally from my anger until her body changed its course and started falling straight down. There was no satisfaction, no regret only boiling anger and nothing to cool me down. The clouds formed a storm and the lightnings started to dance.
"What have you done!" I froze immediately, so has the storm. I turned around and there he stood. Lex.
"I will never forgive you if something happens to her! Never!" Lex silenced me and pushed me away from the edge. He sidestepped and went after Lilith.
"Lex! What are you doing! You will die! You are almost mortal now! Lex!" I was desperate and weak. I couldn`t save him now by myself. I called for help and many come. We dived beneath the clouds.
I was the fastest and I first reached them. They were holding each other, looking deaply into their eyes. I felt a sting deep down my heart.
I tried to grab his hand but he pushed me away.
"She gets first! Take her!" I pushed her back reaching for him but he refused to cooperate.
"I won`t save her! I will save you!" I said.
"THEN LEAVE!" He screamed into the cold wind.
"Leave us! You are a monster who pushed her anyway! How could you push her when you know she cannot fly!"
"But… She doesn`t love you Lex…" His anger burst. He slapped me right across my face.
"I hate you Niah! I hate you! How could you! It is exactly the same thing as if you pushed me! I cannot fly either! I don`t love you anymore and you go and destroy everything sacred for me! You ended everything now Niah! Everything! If there was at least one piece of love for you there is now none! You hear me! NONE!"
My heart beat slowed down drastically to ultimate minimum and his last words were like a blur to me. I only heard his statement of hate and my heart was on verige of breaking. My mind went black and my body fell to the darkness that awaited bellow.
.*.
The ground were becoming more recognizable and when I come back to reality I was already burning from the speed I got on the way. No one could help me now only me myself… But suddenly I didn`t feel like it. I didn`t feel like living anymore. I felt a strong urge to die right there and now.
.*.
The planet was inhabited with huge reptiles which lived for million planet circles around the star named Sun.
My father once told me that angels can release an enormous power if the impact on the wings is strong so if the angel falls such distance from Heaven to the planet on his wings his whole power will be released in an instant. The whole power will be released in an instant. The planet would be devastated, the temperature rising and falling unpredictable… The animals dying immediately.
I didn`t want to fall on my wings. I wanted to die without hurting anyone else.
.*.
Three Days Grace - Pain
.*.
I felt empty, just falling down straight only wondering how will feel like to be smashed on earth, on that hard an purified soil. I was wondering how it could be, how it should be.
Flashback
I was holding him right beside me, looking deep into his beautiful eyes. I was kissing him passionately and he was responding equally. I was so in love that time it hurt even more… It hurt beyond believe.
We were going to make love for the first time. The universe was shining beautifully that night and only for us two. We were flying pass the great galaxies pass the comets and stars. We were caring for each other only, whole universe holding a breath because it is said that when the angels dance…
A once in a lifetime reunion of two pieces of one heart, before they once again part.
It hurt so much to interpret this sacred dance with another woman… with a demon incarnate.
When an angel cries there is a big storm coming and when angels heart is broken all what is left is death or a living shell of a once so delicate precious being.
It was everything because of Lilith. Everything was ruined.
End of flashback

Justin Bieber – That should be me
.*.
ˇI will never let you go!"
The world`s surface exploded why I landed on my feathers. White light blinded even Hell itself.
I destroyed everything. I didn`t mean to, but who would have thought that an almighty angel like me was afraid to die. I chuckled through the pain that tore my flesh. I never ever expected that someday I won`t be able to take my life because of my sharp mind. Disgusting. Really.
I analyzed my feelings too much. If I haven`t everyone would be happy by now… well not everyone, but a certain someone for sure.
.*.
Now almost every living thing on planet was dead because of me. I was meant to bring joy and health not destruction but there was no turning point now.
I still had my immortality but no longer as much power as I had since my birth. And my wings… my precious and beautiful, diamond dusted wings… broken, shattered, bloodied…irreparable. Lost. Forever.
But I chose it for myself, that fate. Lonely road.
.*.
I tried to save as much as possible with my remaining powers, healing everything barely breathing on this world. That was my redemption because I knew my father didn`t have a heart to punish me, knowing, I already punished myself too much.
It still wasn`t enough for me. I continues to mourn by every dead animal and plant knowing that I had a whole eternity awaiting for me.
Immortality… such pain in the ass.
But I deseved it.
.*.
There were millions of years after my fall and I walked silently through the forest, animals greeting me on my way. I was their guardian after all. I way singing the wind and forest song when I heard footsteps.
I turned around, my white hair swinging around my body.
"Michael?" I hesitated and brushed a branch away from my face to get a better view.
"Niah…" He whispered gently, sadness obvious in his voice.
I slowly stepped before him, my wings uselessly dragging behind me like a white train made of few remaining feathers.
"What have you done… Niah… This is horrible. It must hurts so much even now."
"Oh it`s nothing. Forget it." I tried to force a smile on my face while looking at Michael.
"I can`t forget it! It is horrible! No one speaks of you, there are only rumors!"
"I said forget it!" I shouted and he flinched. My voice fell to the whisper of regret immediately. "It doesn`t hurt anymore… I… I cut them off because it hurt too much…"
"What! But… But you have them on… still!"
"No. They are just tied to me because I felt lonely and naked without them that`s all."
"…" Michael stepped toward me and pulled me into a hug. His fists and fingers found it`s way toward the tied knots. I winced.
"Let me see sister. I promise I won`t hurt you… I promise."
He untied the heavy knots and my feathers fell heavily to the earth. I shivered feeling sudden urge to cry.
"Don`t cry sister. Don`t cry I will tie them back for you! They will be as new you will see!" Empty words but still, it soothed my soul a little. I felt warm with my brother beside me.
He gently sidestepped and went to stand beside me.
I never heard Michael cry before and it surprised me. His gentle fingers brushed my two bone structures remaining, the angry and tortured skin around them. The sears around them. For the first time in my life I was happy to not be able to see exactly as it is. I knew it is bad but didn`t even want to think about how bad really is.
Michael, the second Father created now fell to his knees hugging me from behind. His head rested on my lower back, his tears slowly pouring down my skin. His embrace forced me to sit on the ground and Michael held me down there for a long time.
I was grateful. Crying for me because I couldn`t cry myself.
Then he calmed himself, he brushed my hand and let me go. Away from him, he felt comfortive, he felt safe.
"Can I give you gift Niah?" Michael looked at me with his bronze eyes, his bright brown-bronze hair dancing in the wind.
He extended his palm toward me, making me wonder.
He smiled wickedly like only my brother Michael could.
"What is it?" I was curious and I placed my hand in his.
"Lets visit the sky once more Niah. I will take you wherever you want since you will probably never fly again."
I smiled trough my sad broken soul and teared up face, awaiting long forgotten dream with a child curiosity.
.*.
He took me to the stars. He took me to see the Milky way. I way so happy I forgotten everything sad and lonely that awaited me back on Earth… As I named the planet I lived on now.
He took me to jump on the clouds once more.
He took me straight down to Earth, to look at myself in the deep, vast ocean. He took me to all highest peaks on the Earth to jump off them and then to the universe again. I wanted to see everything for the last time… Who knew when I will fly again…
If ever.
We sat on the moon after he became tired because of all activities.
"That was fun Niah. I haven`t had such a good time for so long I stopped counting… and you know I have a good memory."
I smiled, leaning my chin on my knees, wrapping my arms around them. I leaned right on my brothers shoulder asking.
"What is you want to tell me Michael?" I didn`t need to look at him that I knew his mood changed drastically.
His voice wasn`t playful anymore, he was now serious. He gazed into the sun, his expression meaning he way carefully choosing words.
But he was too straightforward and I expected of his words to be cruel from the very start.
"Lex and Lilith will start to live on Earth too from now on and they say you`re forbidden to visit them."
Michael was still gazing into the sun, just wrapping his arm around me knowing how hurt I feel.
"Oh… really." I was confused. Why this planet? There were others to be inhabitated. Why this one…
"This planet has oxygen. Lilith cannot live without it. She could live in heaven only because of fathers magic."
"Oh…" It hurt. It hurt so bad. I embraced Michael around his neck, I climbed outo his lap, playing with his locks to force my mind on something else.
He embraced me. My tall, muscular, bronze brother. He had tanned skin, bronze eyes, bronze-brown hair and in comparison with me, he was tall. I was small, white skinned, white haired but with green, forest green eyes. I wasn`t flat chested anymore but I wasn`t gifted as Lilith eater.
"Say Lex that…" I love him. "I will respect his wish."
Michael kissed my hair and lifted me up.
"Okay Niah. I will." He flew me back to my home, Earth.
.*.
My life tried to function normal but his words left an excitement long forgotten: I wanted to see him one more time. But I had a promise to keep and it didn`t feel good… being torn in between.
I turned away from their direction and continued walking in the opposite brushing the roses on the way.
"Oww!" I put the finger in my mouth to soothe the pain while sucking on blood. For a moment I forgot about Lex.
I turned around and looked at the trees that were blooming behind me. The sound of the wind running and laughing in the treetops, it still surprised me. The echo of the songs sang in Heaven. Lovely song. It warms your heart from time to time.
I pulled my finger out of my mouth but the bleeding didn`t stop. It didn`t surprise me since I had less and less power in myself because of my fall. We angels also have to replenish our power somewhere and that place happened to be Heaven`s rain. And that happened to be out of my reach, far away, an impossible assignment… eather way… it wasn`t happening.
While trying to forget about unusual feeling of loosing blood the drops dirtied the ground around the cherry trees. They were blooming beautifully… everything in white. But the color of one tree started to change magically. Its petals were slowly turning pink and so all other trees around it.
"What is going on…?" I slowly made a few steps back observing quietly. Before I noticed the trail of my blood I was already leaving the place.
Later on after a few years I returned to the place and enjoyed the company of the pink trees. I never knew why the trees turned their color but I grew to love them. They were from now on only mine. Mine to look at, mine to cherish, my only company.
.*.
I never left that island before. It was beautiful until I set my eyes on a tree with red leaves, It disturbed me, my mind and I asked myself if I even want to know why it disturbed me.
Of course I knew why. I missed him. I was thinking about him every day feeling regret and love which only grew with the separation.
I felt a ball in my throat and suddenly nothing mattered anymore. I felt lonely all of a sudden. I felt useless in this place and after that I couldn`t find peace anymore.
I felt like shit.
.*.
I couldn`t hold it inside anymore. I couldn`t be alone any longer so I bid farewell to this nature, to my lovely pink trees and went in a direction I knew Lex is.
I didn`t stop until I walked across the every sea, across the many mountains and vast fields of grass. And then I saw a little house made of wood and leafs. I felt it… I felt him and he wasn`t alone. She was there too.
.*.
Lilith came out of the house with two children in her hands. They were little, smiling broadly at their mother but she never smiled back. She was in foul mood only ignoring the presence of those little children.
I became angry suddenly but then I felt a presence next to me. I shrieked.
A boy was pressing his hand on my mouth.
"SSSSHH! I won`t hurt you. I only wanted to ask you Beautiful lady why do you look at Lilith and my brothers?"
"Umm." He was exactly as Lex. The boy`s hair were reaching pass his waist and were falling down to the floor. His hair was exact color as Lex hair when he was watching at the sunset. Bright red with gold strains.
I turned around and wanted to leave but the boy caught my wrist.
"Don`t go, Beautiful lady. Visit my father, he will be glad to see you. I know he will be happy to see you whoever you are!" He pulled me toward the open and we were now standing on the brink of the forest.
"What am I doing here… I was asked not to come…"
"Don`t just mumble things to yourself Beautiful lady, come on come!"
And then I saw him. Lex. His face looking in the opposite direction while playing with the two boys. I suppressed my urge to run to him… but I was so happy he was okay. His hair, long red hair playing with the wind.
"Lady?" The boy was now bushing the silver tears of my cheek.
"Lady don`t cry… Father! This lady is crying, father, help!" The boy now ran toward Lex and our eyes met after such a long time.
I stumbled toward him, reaching my arms out as much as I could.
"Lex! My Lex!" he dropped the toy he held before in his hands while he played with the kids.
"Niah?" he whispered, not even bothering with Lilith`s grim and jealous expression. The kids backed off while their father stood and moved forward.
"Niah I thought you died! I thought you were dead… I never forgave myself."
We were now crying in each other embrace and our love was revived from death once more, the fire of passion enlighten again.
He brushed my hair from top to shoulders and down my back. He stopped when he noticed two bones sticking out of savaged skin. He shook and shivered.
Well I guess no person will just get used to that remaining bones so easily.
.*.
"Father who is that Lady?" whispered a little girl while climbing on his leg. Her hair were also bright red but her face was Lilith`s.
"That sweetie is my long lost friend I have missed for a long time…"
.*.
"Is that the result of your fall? I will never forgive myself… never…"
"Don`t Lex. We are grown now. We both know that you were right and I was wrong. We both regret…"
"I regret not giving you a chance after that fight we had Lex…" I looked him in the eyes smiling sadly.
"I know. I regret I haven`t apologized. I regret not having you by my side instead…"
A breaking sound came from behind of us. We were sitting on the lawn and we both turned around at the same time.
Lilith was standing above the shattered glass and looking in our direction. She heard him.
The eldest boy came out of the house.
"Mother where is that dad`s sword he brought from Heaven?"Boy come running toward her and he didn`t knew what happened all of a sudden when Lilith smacked him across his face. He rolled down the lawn.
"Oww. WAhhh!" He started crying immediately the impact was so strong. I was so shocked I couldn`t say anything or move a limb.
"Lilith! What are you doing! Why are you releasing your anger on children. If you want to say or do something do it! I won`t say more and for the second time you`ll regret it!"
She turned on her ankles and marched into the house, destroying everything on her way.
I came out of the shock somehow and ran toward the boy which way still sobbing on the ground. I brought him into my lap and started to sing him the melody of love and health and growth. Eventually he stopped crying and other children came to tap him, ask him not to be sad anymore, ask him if it hurt. I sang for several minutes and the angry red disappeared from his face being replaced with healthy pink and the color of sleep. I winced back and forth to make him feel safe.
I was invited to stay with them for a while but I decided to sleep outside by the remaining fire. I had enough of arguing.
.*.
Lilith became monstrosity in these days I was here. But surprisingly she didn`t say a thing to me.
I was playing with the children, going on a walks with Lex and if there hasn`t been any Lilith we would be together again.
I loved him. From the first day I saw him and the love remained imprinted in both our hearts.
.*.
But I thought for a second when Lex got sick all of a sudden that the mother Fate is making fun of me.
I couldn't just sit and stare when he was so weak and without any will to eat or ability to sleep. I was helping out as much as I could but Lilith wouldn't let me see him.
And he grew only weaker and weaker.
I felt lost. Helpless. Sick at heart.
.*.
When Lilith went out to clean the plates after the supper I sneaked into the cottage.
Lex was so fragile. He looked like a puppet and his always changing hair were the color of wiped out red. The color was so lifeless it could be mistaken for white.
I stumbled over to his bed, falling to my knees. The tapping of my tears was heard while I gently brushed his hand. I pressed it to my cheak, wetting it on the surface of the skin.
I was lost in a moment. I was holding his hand dammit, I was happy.
But I was careless. I left my guard down and it proved fatal.
.*.
Lilith silently stood behind me and I didn't hear her. The wrath and jealousy and anger was poisoning the air but as I said... I was careless.
Lilith grabbed a hold of the most fatal thing, of the only fatal thing, for an angel. For any living being in whole universe.
Of a sword made of Hell's steel.
Lex's Heaven sword.
…
She grabbed it and raised it silently in the air so the pointy end lingered between my shoulder blades in the middle air. And she dropped it, with a force to me unknown.
"Aaahh!" The scream probably frightened half of the forest, it frightened even me. It hurt.
The blade sank into my body like butter and I felt that it was close to my heart, dangerously close.
Lex opened his eyes and the horror on his face couldn't be described.
"Lilith... What are you... Niah?" He tried to lean on his arm, to reach toward me but couldn't. I instead tried to reach for him but Lilith turned the blade aside and tore my heart apart.
A gush of blood coughed out of my mouth, little rubies of blood dripping down my chin while my life was slowly coming to an end.
"Lilith... Don't you know what you've done..."
"Kill you ofcourse. I will get rid of the annoyance myself. I hate you Niah, your pureness is a poison to me, to us!"
"You didn't kill her Lilith! You condemned her to a punishment far grater than that!"
"Well... If soo... Then it's even better. I want to see you suffer Niah. I want you to be cursed with the poisoned dreams that will tear your life apart. I want you to suffer the loss I am suffering whenever you come by."
"Gahh..." The spurt of blood wetted the bed sheets. The darkness was wrapping me, slowly but steadily. My magic couldn't repair me with a sword still clinging to my insides.
"Lilith, please... Let her go. Please... I beg you." Lex was now desperately trying to get into the sitting position.
The door to the cottage suddenly opened. A tall and lean figure streamed inside. His black as night hair swinged on his back, his black wings were folded. He got a hold of Lilith and bound her hands with what appeared was a self-tying rope.
Lilith was now trapped on the ground, tied up all over, not being able to move even an inch.
The stranger strode toward Niah and gently tuched her shoulder blades, the place where once wings grew but no longer...
"Oh Niah... My beautiful, precious Niah..." He kneeled and apparently ignored every word Lex threw at him.
"Please God... Don't let me be too late. Not again... Father."
"Who... are you?" Whispered Niah, pain visible in her wavering voice.
"I am the other half of you. I am the dark side of you, your brother."
"But I don't know you... Which number are you Stranger?"
"One."
…
The soo called number One took a hold over the Lex's sword and stared to pull it out, gently. Niah shook from waves of pain, the blade was also tearing her heart peace by peace, more and more.
"Ahh... Please... Stop. Stop." He paused.
"I must take it out Niah... You can heal then."
"I can't. If you try to pull it out once more I will scatter." Scatter, the ultimate death of an angel.
"Noo... Please. Niah I only found you again... I cannot lose you again like this. No... I can't stand it." Lex had puffy eyes and the sickness made him shake from exhaustion.
"I cannot lose you eather Niah. I only get one chance in a lifetime to get to know you until I have to disapear again. Don't leave." The stranger said and Niah felt extremly sad.
"Stranger... What is your name..."
"I don't have one Niah... I was meant to be named by you." The hand on the sword started to tremble. A lot of time has passed.
"Luci... Lucifer... Kill me. Kill me please... It hurt's so much."
"If I kill you with this sword then you will live in the rest of the living beings as two halves of a whole, never complete and without any way back, without any memories. We will lose you forever Niah..."
"But on the other hand... If I scatter... then it's the end. I will cease to exist."
"Yes." Lex said. The choice was terrible. And with every second that passed the scatter was closer and closer.
"Quick... Lucifer. Quick." Tears ran down her face now, defeat obvious in her frail body motion.
"Promise me... Promise me that you will do everything to come back. Promise me Niah." Lucifer said.
"I can't promise that to you... I don't even know you."
"Then promise me that you will come back to get to know me. Promise me please. You are my existence... Without you I'm nothing..."
"I promise I will try. I promise... And Lex..." Niah turned toward him, gripping his hand firmly with her last strenght.
"Lex. I came back because I love you. I am sorry. I am sorry because I left you."
"Niah... I can't live without you... Don't go..." He was pounting like a child. Crying openly now. Tears were dripping down Lucifer's chin too.
It was a sorrowful farewell... with no way to see each other again.
Lex stumbled down his bed and kneeled before Niah. His body was hot and heavy, sticky from his illness. He embraced her tightly and she winced.
"I will go with you. I won't leave you there alone. Never." She tried to push him away but sobbs of releaf found it's way to the silence.
"Lucifer... Cut trough both. I will bring us back. I promise. I promise I will bring us back... And thank you..."
Lucifer was known as a vile man, as a man feared by many. This event was scarred deaply onto his heart long after the incident was over and even after everything was long forgotten.
He brought the sword he himself made down into Niah's guts and out her belly, pearcing Lex's body and tearing both of them apart. Blood gushed out of them but before it fell to the floor it turned into dust. And not just any dust but the diamond dust in the color of their wings. Mainly white.
…
Lucifer fell to his knees the sword bouncing off the floor when he dropped it. He leaned on his hands and the dust mingled with his fingers. The tears soiled the floor while falling. If he hasn't encountered as many hardships as he have he would've cried a river.
The pain was unbareable. The thought of loosing her even worse. A promising future he had turned to a mingled shit and there was no hope, no way in life he will live long enough to find them. To find her.
His better half.
The other half of him. His twin.
…
And just when he found her. Just when he found her after such a long and promised time. And just when he touched her, the image turned to dust, leaving him hurting and stuggling with the pain, leaving him behind.
Leaving him behind.
Leaving him behind.
It ringed in his ears. The loneliness.
His rage tore the ropes off Lilith. He pulled her out of the cottage for her hair, the sword in his other hand. He walked pass the landing angels, but he couldn't pass Michael and Gabriel.
"We were informed of your existence One... but how could you... how could you?" Gabriel gasped when he smelled the angel dust on him.
"I did not... And from now on... my name is Lucifer."
When saying that he swirled around and disapeared into nothing, taking Lilith with him, leaving behind gasps and a little pile of black, ashy dust.

That was the start of the tale about an Angel called Niah, her lover Lex and her other half Lucifer.
The tale about redemption, love, betrayal, battles to win and lose, friends to burry and kids to raise.
The tale of searching when you don't know what to search.
A tale of finding when you don't know what you found.
All in one.
Crossroad between D. Gray man/Naruto/Bleach and Niah who links them all.
