Angel in the Snow 2
Rejection
This chapter is dedicated to a guest reviewer called Squiroo. He or she asked why did the angels reject Toshiro and I decided to answer him or her by writing another chapter.
Disclaimer: Bleach isn't mine. I can't even draw the tenth division symbol properly.
Summary: before he ended up in the clearing, Toshiro nearly ended up in heaven.
It was all over. The pain that had wormed its way into his body was gone. The light of the sun was gone. The sounds of the jeering people were gone. Hyourinmaru was gone. He was gone.
Then there was a staircase. A golden staircase winding upwards towards a pearly gate. What was this? This was so cliché. This was what Momo had told him heaven looked like. He didn't want this to be Momo's heaven. He didn't want to be in heaven. He wanted Hyourinmaru and his violin and he wanted them now.
Toshiro began to walk. There was nothing else to do but walk. Well he could run but he had never been one for running. The staircase seemed to stretch on forever. As he walked, soft voices began to sing.
He walks up
He wishes to join
But he has a job
So down he goes
"Who's there?" Toshiro spun, nearly losing his footing and tumbling back down the stairs. "Hyourinmaru, is that you?"
He thinks we are the dragon
But we are the angels
The angels who are here
To tell him to leave
"Stop it!" Toshiro yelled. "Stop it now!"
Just keep walking young one
All will be revealed soon
And if you want to know more
You will be denied
The last thing Toshiro wanted to do was obey creepy singing voices but he wanted to see what was at the top. He was too curious. So he continued to walk. He wasn't getting tired, he noticed. He didn't feel out of breath. He didn't desire a rest.
Then the stairs ended abruptly and he was at the top. The gates were huge, woven gold and inlaid with pearls. This was exactly how Momo had described them. Was Momo going to appear or was he missing her and clinging to anything about her. How could he miss her? She betrayed him.
Then the gates opened, slowly, and 4 figures came out. Each looked different. The only identical thing about them was the huge white wings spreading from their backs.
"You do not wish to enter but you know you have no choice" The first spoke. She had golden, curly hair. The tangled mess of hair contained purple hair ribbons and she wore a white dress.
"But alas you cannot enter" The second said, looking sad though her voice was flat. She had shoulder length brown hair and wore a red dress.
"You will have to go back" The third cried out. She had silvery hair that was raided into an elegant plait and her dress was golden.
"What do you mean?" Toshiro asked in confusion, not letting the final angel speak.
"I will explain it better" The final girl spoke. She wore a black dress and she had the longest hair that Toshiro had ever seen. It was also black. "There will be a time when 2 times 3 wonderers will come to a forest. They are young, too young to be taken and we wish them safety. So you will guide them home"
"But I don't understand" Toshiro cried. "My time on that world is over. Please don't send me back"
"We don't want you here" The first angel snapped.
"That is why we have given you this task" The second said harshly.
"We reject you" The third angel giggled softly.
"I will send him back now" The fourth said sadly. She held out her hands and then moved one gently up wards and one downwards. She swirled each hand to the side and then brought the two together in an almighty sound. Toshiro could feel himself fading. He could feel himself falling. He could feel…nothing.
And then he was in snowy clearing where he was doomed to live the rest of his days. He could leave but no further than the town nearby.
"I was rejected" he sobbed. "I thought I would see Hyourinmaru again"
He crouched over and tried to hold back his sobs.
"How long will I be here?!" He screamed at the sky.
"As long as I am with you" A familiar voice rumbled. Toshiro spun, desperation and hope blinding up in him. Please be who he thought it was please.
And it was. It was the spirit. The spirit was holding his voice. And he played with his spirit, knowing that even though he was cursed to stay here, he wouldn't be alone.
This is really short but who are the mean angels talking about? Who will Toshiro save? Yeah it's pretty obvious isn't it? Please review, it makes me smile sooooo much.
