September 21

11:08:03 pm

The cry of a child shattered the sereneness of the night. The Child of Heaven revealed himself to fulfill a fate long forgotten in the depths of the past.

A strong aura slightly familiar; the eyes, a shade of the most wondrous emeralds one could ever make out and lastly the very same unruly dark brown hair; all of which the previous bearer possessed.

The late prince, Tenpou Gensui.

Angels aligned away from slumber started to strike and play splendid pieces to portray their joy with they harps matched with glorious songs of eternal blessing and fulfillment. Despite the time being nearly midnight, no one dared to close their eyes without even rejoicing.

"Stupid child! I will make sure your future will be as miserable as the fallen Prince's life was!"

A rebellious angel spat and cursed the Child of Heaven continuously. And with a scornful face, he departed heaven.

"You shall soon die!"

And with such last words, he left. He left Heaven and faced eternal banishment.

oOoOo

The heat was suffocating, burning deep below the ends of earth. The Gate of Hell separating the ethereal beauty of the world from the eerie temperature of the Underworld.

Before the gate stood a vile creature, intimidating any lost soul wandering upon the forbidden.

"Let me enter, you dimwit."

The guardian smiled, a bloodcurdling smile, and replied, "Well said. We are waiting for you Shien."

A lowly-demon offered assistance and brought Shien to the feared king of Hell, Homura. A being bestowed with beauty, brains and power that could either rule or destruct humankind.

"Another Lucifer…it seems they keep loosing precious cherubs."

Shien just shrugged as he looked for the source of the voice.

"You're really attractive for an angel." He whispered in Shien's ear.

"Show yourself."

The man addressed chuckled at the command.

"Impatient are we. Very well, I shall introduce my self. I am Homura, Ruler of the Underworld." He said as he appeared in front, giving Shien a full preview of himself.

Silently, Shien gaped at the luscious King. Who would have thought that he would actually grow attached to this new world?

"I brought good news, Homura-sama." Shien said sarcastically, after moments of silence.

Homura just smiled, playing along with the fallen angel. Finding him strangely amusing and interesting.

"The Child of Heaven has been born. The imprudent savior has been born." Shien continued with a heavy trace of hatred and loathing.

Homura laughed before replying, "I feel every ounce of your hatred. Anyway, terrific news dear Shien; come let us change your offal clothes."

oOoOo

The King and Queen were utterly worried when they learned an angel was missing. They feared deeply for the Child when they discovered his betrayal. They knew they just couldn't keep the Prince forever in Heaven. And so with one last kiss, they rendered the growth of the Child's wings and attached a clasp in his ear hiding his true identity and aura.

A flash of blinding light surrounded every part of the mortal world causing time itself to cease. The light came dashing down from the heavens above halting on a small island, somewhere beneath Asia. And with another breathe of magic, time flowed the same way it used to run as if nothing actually occurred.

oOoOo

"What are you doing here, Zeon?" Homura asked.

"I have come to give an urgent news about the Child of Heaven," answered Zeon.

"It better be urgent."

"The Child has disappeared in the Mortal World," Zeon reported.

Shien who was at the corner almost killed him in utmost disbelief. His only chance to kill the Prince and prove his loyalty to Homura escaped.

"Shien, I entrust you to search and dispose the Prince…you may get whomever demon suited for the job."

Shien nodded in approval and exited to select proficient youkais.

"I'll kill you for sure Prince Cho Hakkai!"

A/N: Finally done with the edited prologue. Nothing more to say, just review. ::sigh:: doesn't allow any form of symbol in dividing the scenes…I had to resort into using the letter o.
