My own will
"When will you try to act as you were told?" an irritated man darted his grey orbs to the young little lady dipping her finger in the river of red blood. It amuses her to feel the liquid quite warm on her skin. A good mile away she can hear the newly brought in souls that were bound to be boiled and tormented at the very sanctuary she favored in the depths of hell.
The sounds of their despair made her giggle, completely ignoring the man just beside her, already fuming.
"Akane" he gritted his teeth. The little girl by the river then leaves the entertaining sight of souls in perish and then gives her full attention to the man she had been willingly ignoring.
"Devils were known to be a hundred percent bad. So don't expect me to even acknowledge you, even if you are my friend, Shinya" she said with an amused smirk when he suddenly felt a twitch near his lips.
Her amusement then turns serious "I am bored of this domain, may it be my home or not"
"You are not allowed to leave the rings of hell" he informed her "HE will never let you"
"The old man is just an old fart who knows no fun" she stands up, swinging her tail as she flips her hair, revealing hidden horns on each side above her ear embedded to her skull.
"And you're suppose to embody this 'fun'?" he tried to emphasize the word with an amused smile. That word had gotten her in both trouble and glory.
In trouble, it terms as to managing to free souls from the depths of hell and for glory, it's about managing to have one of the heirs to the throne of light ambushed and killed, serving great victory to the Demons lurking in the dark.
"It's never meant to be as childish as it seems…" she noted as she twirled her tail on Shinya's own. The messy haired lad smiled, entwining their tails, something they have done most of the time to signify agreement.
"Then what is it? We can't have the next heir of hell acting like a child when it comes to concerns about the domain" he said. This quickly made him flinch as Akane's tail twisted his far too tightly. She turns to him with a frown.
"When it comes to my birthplace, rest assured I will do everything exceeding my abilities" her expression of pure seriousness and determination had always made Shinya feel a soft spot for her.
She knows her place and time. She will never leave such duties behind too easily; it was she was born for, for why she was created.
Shinya nodded and ruffles her hair, making sure to rub her horns that curved above her ears. It always made her relax and that just does the trick. Her face had turned to a carefree expression.
She went to one of the trees, pulling Shinya along with her tail. They were souls that had transformed this gloom of a forest. Trees made of living souls. Akane then leans her back on to one, her eyes full of mischief and Shinya didn't like it one bit.
"I will head to the middle surface. With or without my Father's consent" she said all too seriously. Shinya only raised an eyebrow, he knew there was something missing from that piece of information she had just announced.
"And you're helping me" she smiled. This got him smiling back. He could never resist her when her eyes shined with such determination.
"I knew you would say that" he grinned.
Angels were supposedly everything about white. And that's the very reason this man known to be of such pure light is the next and the very last hope for an heir. Pure silk white hair to his white clothes, and of course the additional Halo and wings that's signifies what he is, a pure white Angel.
For the past days, he has engrossed himself of the fine literatures he'd find none other than just below him; the middle surface.
Many of the trustees of the current ruler of the heavens have had their concerns about the young heir. He would never do as he was told. His mind had worked on an entirely different scale that not many understood his predicament.
But one did, and she wasn't even someone that seemed befitting near such pure light. The Angel of Death, Oryou.
Her wings and her long smooth hair conveyed the color of the night, pure darkness. But as much as other would not agree that the heir become better friends with her, he did so otherwise. Completely ignoring the disdained eyes of those around him, he had had enough.
"What are you thinking?" She asked, considering floating rather than to stay put and be comfy with the Clouds. Her hair swaying and then rising as a breeze of wind brushed pass them.
"I've never been able to go against what's ordered of me…I feel as though a caged bird" He muttered, closing his book, having finished it to the last word.
"You've befriended me" she countered, tilting her head to the side, swaying her dark silky hair.
This made him smile. Taking locks of her hair as they swayed freely, he locks them with his fingers and plants a lingering kiss to their tips.
Though any other girl would have flustered, Oryou had never minded such. She had considered it as playful gestures but never intimate. But the flutters she received in her stomach were never a thing she denied.
"Shogo?" She called. He willingly looks up to her amethyst orb, questioning. His lips were still planted to the tips of her hair. And that just made her feel her cheeks turn to a pale pink.
"You wish to be free?" she asked, ignoring her own heightened feelings as he removes his hand from her hair and stairs down, looking out to the many people in the middle surface.
"Of course, I prayed for nothing more than that of my own will"
"Is that what you wish to fulfill after you inherit this kingdom?" she asked, resting her hands on his shoulder, and her head on top of them.
Shogo never bothered of her closeness and only smirked.
"I believe things would be quite different if I were to be in charge….the other would have done well"
"But he is dead" she muttered, leaning her head to his "THEY killed him. And the ruler said it is because he had not obeyed" Shogo just felt like snorting as he replies.
"Well he had the free will to explore their domain. And those who were there had the freewill to kill" he began to brush a few strands of her hair behind her ear. It only made Oryou lean on to him as she floated behind him. He continued.
"And that freedom is what I ask. To do as I please without such rules binding me. Without a system that controlled me like a mere puppet"
Oryou smiled. From the first encounter they had. He had proven himself amusing to the angel of death. Not even fearing of what she does, this is taking one's life. He had become her friend and companion through small talks. And she was proud to even consider that she was the only rule that Shogo had managed to break and to keep breaking by spending time with her.
"But of course…" he sighs, taking up his now abandoned book. Oryou left his shoulder and stood behind him "Not much of it seems to be reachable as of the moment" he seemed rather disappointed. Oryou never liked seeing him with such a sour expression and had even gotten an idea that would prove strife.
"Then why not a small vacation?" she insisted. The almost retreating heir suddenly stops and gives her a curious glance.
"The middle surface had proven freedom in a lot of different perspective" she smiled, looking down and then back at the amber orbs of the pure angel "And one of which can be categorized to your predicament"
This had gotten Shogo looking intently at her amethyst eyes. He knew she wasn't lying or inventing such false stories. This lovely lady had been to the middle earth far too many times anyone else has. She is the one of which to cute lifeline and escort the souls to their genuine guides; either to hell or Heaven. With another minute of consideration, he smiles.
"I guess breaking of a rule for a second time would not hurt?" this had gotten Oryou smiling.
Alright, something new. I know I should be updating my different stories, but this is actually for a friend and we somehow have a deal about this particular Anime. I would continue this little FanFiction story if I ever get a considerate five and more reviews after a week. If not, I would have to cut it down. Much like a tree in a way. So to those who read, Hope you like it!
