Sailor Moon: Angels Among Us
Chapter 2: The Blade That Can't Kill
As an angel, you see the world through different eyes. When I walk around the city or go for a flight at night, I can see corruption and the things that go bump in the night. My sword has become my companion for my duty to this world. 'Le Rasoir' is not like a normal sword used by the knights of old, but it certainly looks and feels like one.
My sword is different in that it cannot kill a human being, but if my sword were to be used against one, they will not die but my sword will slay that which was controlling them be it a demon or any kind of monster. That was how I met someone that became very special to me on a night just like this. That special person was named Setsuna Meioh.
That night was a warm summer night and the moon was high. I felt the wind blow through my hair as I looked down at the city from the top of the Tokyo Tower. I sensed that something was wrong. I felt an aura, a dark aura, coming from the park where I take my German Shepherd Remy for a walk in the early morning and the afternoon everyday.
I saw a young lady around my age at the park. She was on her knees, and clutching her chest. As I approached her, she looked up at me and her pupils were as red as blood. I knew it was the first step that a demon has taken control of it's host. I stepped with a high jump with the help of my wings, and saw a black shadow with eyes like fire.
"Show yourself, demon!" I ordered, and prepared myself for battle, "Le Rasoir, be the light that cuts through the darkness," I was now in full armor,
I heard a chuckle come from the human host as the dark shadow took shape, "I knew there would be one of your kind in the city," said the human in a two-toned demonic voice, "I am Caim, I know your kind, you will ask me to release my hold on this human, a very pretty one, don't you think? I say not a chance you sword-totting pigeon!"
I soon saw the demon take the form of a man with the head and wings of a crow with a sabre at his side, "Now then...my pet...transform," He commanded to his host human, and she took another form. It was the first time I met one of the famous Sailor Senshi. I can tell she is trying to fight his control on her. I had to do something quickly.
"HELP ME!" she managed to cry out to me. Her eyes went from purple back to blood red in an instant. She attacked me with an attack she called 'Dead Scream'. I needed to lure the demon away from his host. I have to wound him which will anger him, and he will attack me. I slashed through her attack, and slashed the demon on the arm.
"Well, well, that looked like it hurt," I smirked, and angered the demon. Caim did not leave the host's body as I had hoped he would, and instead used her as a shield. Little does he know that my sword cannot harm a human, but it will slay a demon. She fired another 'Dead Scream' this time I leaped up, and spreaded my wings to use my aura.
"Must you demons choose violence over reasoning?" I asked, and he charged at me and I charged him. Our swords clashed, but I was still standing,
He soon fell on his side, and his head rolled off his neck and Caim faded into dust on the warm summer breeze. I went and kneeled down to the human that was just pulling herself together after her ordeal with a very powerful demon, "Shh...easy now, mon amie," I said to her quietly, and helping her to her feet. Her eyes soon met mine in awe.
"I don't know what happened, but thank you...thank you for saving me," She said with a thankful bow. I bowed back to be respectful. Two others showed up to come to her aid, but the battle was already won. One sported boyish dirty blond hair, kind of like a young Leonardo DiCaprio, and the other was very beautiful with wavy turquoise hair.
These two would become some of my best friends, but the third I would give my heart to when the time comes. I was about to leave into the night sky when she stopped me, "Wait!" she asked as I was just walking away. I turned around to face her. From the way she looked at me, I am guessing she knows what I am, "who are you?" she asked,
I could feel a tenderness coming in as I looked into her eyes. I lightly smiled behind my steel mask, "A friend," I said simply, "I'll be there in the night, when you need me, just call my name," those were my parting words to the one called Sailor Pluto. I made a light bow to her friends, and flew off into the night sky and back to the Tokyo Tower.
I went back to my apartment where Remy waited, "Bonsoir Remy, did you miss mommy? Mommy missed you," I said rubbing his cheeks,
I was now in my regular look, an angel in blue jeans. I had to let Remy out one last time before I call it a night. Then again, darkness never sleeps, "Good boy, Remy," I said as I cleaned up after him and put it in a nearby garbage bin. It's funny in a way, a person can call another an angel, but then again truth be told. We angels are definitely real.
