Wanna Trade Wings?
Chapter 2: Find me, Watch me, Lose me

~I Don't Want to Hurt You Anymore~

"Well, Hibari? I'll have to give you one more chance," Xanxus sighed, sitting up in his throne. "If you fail to obtain oxygen atoms this time, I'll have to eliminate you." Hibari hung his head.

"I'm sorry, my Lord," he apologized. Xanxus snorted, then picked the smaller demon up, and, holding him in his arms, kissed his forehead. Hibari shut his eyes tightly, and gave a gentle moan, for the kiss of Satan brought changes within him, making his horns grow, and his wings expand until they were as wide as his body, and could let him truly fly.

"There. You have more power this way. Go up in the sky until your right next to the portal to Heaven. Take the oxygen from there."

"B-but what if the Angels see me?" Hibari protested as he was lowered to the ground.

"Then they can have their way with you. You aren't elite," Xanxus snickered.

Although hurt, Hibari nodded, and looked up at the exit from the realm of Hell, before starting to flap his wings. It was a bit difficult, but he soon managed to get himself up off the ground, wildly beating his demonic wings as he escaped from Hell. As he emerged upon Earth, he could feel the gravity conforming to his immortal body. He carefully maneuvered himself up into the sky, making way towards the clouds, where it would be easier to single out the oxygen. The demon worked his way up until he could see the warped space in the distance that Angels occasionally passed between, and winced, frightened. He was now above the clouds, bathing himself in the water vapor as he took out a flask.

"Now... just to get the right ones," he sighed, concentrating so that he could find the right element. The pure oxygen shone brightly, and Hibari summoned those molecules into his flask, sighing with relief as he got four, then ten, then twenty! Soon, the flask was filled with pure oxygen, and the demon capped it, grinning. "I got it...!"

"Hibari?"

The demon flinched, fumbling with the flask as he looked back at the one beside him. He blushed, and slipped the oxygen into his cloak, murmuring, "Dino? What are you doing here?"

"I could ask the same of you," Dino replied. "You're uncomfortably close to Heaven. More importantly, why are you taking oxygen from such a dangerous place? If anyone else had found you, you might've been killed. Here, one moment..." Dino closed his eyes, and muttered something under his breath, and when he looked back, Hibari had been turned invisible. "There; no one other than I can see you. Now you're fairly safe. But that'll wear off in a while. Tell me... what happened to your wings, and horns?"

"Lord Xanxus gave me his power," Hibari replied. He didn't know why he was all right with answering. He just knew that talking to Dino was fun, and it was a pleasant feeling to speak to an angel.

"So... uh... are you fully corrupted then?" Dino asked. "Or, even more so than before?"

"What are you talking about?" Hibari murmured. "'Corrupted'...?"

He had the sense that he'd heard the word before, but in a way, it didn't seem like the word for him. "Sorry, don't mind that," Dino sighed. "Um... I'm really not supposed to talk to you... and I know you aren't supposed to speak to me in turn, either. So... why are you?"

"... I don't know," Hibari sighed.

"Get away from me, you annoying things!" cried a voice from below. Hibari and Dino turned in the air, watching, and Hibari identified the owner of the voice to be Leviathan- an elite demon, and surrounding him were a group of young angels, firing arrows at him.

"Oh, no," Hibari breathed. "Not an elite... Lord Xanxus will..."

"Huh? That guy's elite?" Dino asked. "Man... this can't be good."

Levi soon collapsed, and Hibari gasped, covering his mouth. The moment he realized that Dino's little invisibility spell had worn off, he dived into the group, and shouted, "Scatter! You little insects!"

The young angels left immediately, and Hibari knelt down beside his fellow demon, feeling for a pulse. An immortal could only be finished off by another immortal, after all, and it seemed as though Leviathan was done for. Hibari picked the older demon up, and, with one last glare over his shoulder, flew back into Hell on strengthening wings.

In Hell... ~I Never Meant for Any of This to Happen

Hibari came through the portal with his elite fellow, and as he slowed himself, landing on the ground, he began to drag Leviathan towards Satan.

"My Lord," he called. "An elite has fallen by shot of the Angels!" Xanxus sighed, sitting upright, and looked as Hibari brought the elite to him.

"I see," he hissed, "and you didn't do this out of jealousy, did you, Hibari?" The younger demon shook his head.

"No, my Lord, the arrows are most certainly those of Angels."

Satan pulled one of the arrows out, and it turned deep black under his touch, then dissolved. "It most certainly was," he sighed. "This is an outrage... That Byakuran must be punished!" he snarled. "Belpehgor, go to tell the Angels' messenger that we're declaring war!"

The group of demon's in the area cheered with agreement to Xanxus's declaration, and the blonde demon, Belphegor, giggled and spread his overly large bat wings, before sweeping upwards and darting out of the dimension, his bright, silver horns flashing for a moment as he crossed into Earth.

As everyone readied themselves with their best weapons, Mukuro ran over to Hibari, and took him by the horns, yanking him forward into a bone-crushing hug. "We're at war!" he exclaimed. "Good work, kid, good work! You did great! If you hadn't been there to find Levi, maybe this delightful development wouldn't have taken place! We'll feast on angel wings tonight!"

Hibari was sickened by the joy of his master, and how certain things were put, and he gently pushed him back, before walking back to Xanxus. "Also, my Lord, I got the oxygen you wanted," he said, pulling out the flask. The element inside it glowed brightly, and a few of the demons who hadn't yet bustled away to get armed stared at the element as if in a trance.

"Well done," Satan praised, taking the flask. "With this, we will come a step closer to being mortal. Now..." He opened the flask, and the glowing gas floated out, and spread around the cavern, and a few of the demons experimented breathing with it in the air. "Soon enough, our hearts will beat in a way so that this is neccessary," Xanxus explained to Hibari. "But for now, get prepared for a full on war against the Angels."

In Heaven... ~What do I do when I See You out There?

Belphegor darted through the portal, and, ignoring the fluffy white material that conflicted with the dark matter he was used to, landed, and walked over to his acquainted angel-mate, Kikyo. Just as he was the messenger for Hell, Kikyo sent messages to Byakuran and other Angels. "Belphegor!" Kikyo acknowledged. "Pretty bold of you to come into here so easily! Must be important."

"It sure is," Belphegor replied, grinning to reveal his two rows of bright, white fangs. "We're declaring war."

Kikyo tensed as he heard the news, then stepped back. "I'll tell him right away," he said in a solemn tone. Trusting the angel to do as told, Bel raced away on his well developed wings, and soared back into Hell. Kikyo, meanwhile, flew into the deeper parts of Heaven, and soon came up to Byakuran. "My Lord," he began. "I have an important announcement."

Byakuran held up his hand to pause the messenger, and white, root-like structures grew from his legs, burying themselves in the white material that was abundant in Heaven. Soon, all of the Angels, young and old, male and female all gathered in the area, and God gestured for Kikyo to speak. "The Demons have declared war on us!" Kikyo cried. "The battlefield is Earth! May the strongest... may the Angels win!"

There was an applause, and Byakuran stood, then started to walk towards the portal to Earth. "War, hm?" he murmured. "What a shame it had to come to this. And I tried to be nice."

In the midst of the crowd, Dino sighed, reaching up and touching his forehead. "War? But... how can I fight him? What would I do if it came down to me having to hurt Hibari?" That thought made the angel bite his lips in anxiety, and he wondered if Hibari would die before he even had a chance to see him. With that thought, he shook his head. They could never even be friends!

They were angel and demon, after all.
