Summery:"Afraid?" The smirk grew. "I was simply honoring the agreement between our kind." The dark aura retreated back slightly, fading into a greyish color as light appeared to cut through it. "But if you insist." Whether Angel or Demon, it's their responsibility as rulers of their world to protect the Earth under them.
Author's Note: I know it's been a long while since I updated. To be completely honest, I'm not too consistent with updates (and I tend to even lose motivation to even finish the story..), so that's why I try to make updates long and worth reading! So although it's been a while, I hope you all enjoy Chapter 2!
"Targets locked."
Light and dark danced as the two creatures clashed continuously on the earth. Ground was pierced and nature was torn down in path of the creatures' destruction as they fought mercilessly with each other. Ages have been spent keeping Earth a sacred, neutral ground for Angels and Demons as well as the humans. Tension between both sides rose throughout time, but honor was more important to maintain rather than giving into futile conflicts.
"Give it up, Angel." A growl ripped through the night as the owner of the voice sent the Angel hurling through a path of several trees.
"I will never back down."
"Actually," the third voice caused both creatures' heads to snap up and look over in the direction of the noise. "You will. BOTH of you will."
A blinding golden white light surrounded the man as he stepped out of the darkness, his light piercing through the shadows. His aura clashed with his greyish suit and button down, but almost masked his spiked up silver hair. With hands in in pocket, we walked toward the creatures that were on standstill. "Something tells me that both of you shouldn't be out here…"
"Neither should you, Kakashi."
All heads turns in the direction of the new voice. An older man walked out of the shadows that he remarkably blended in with; adjusting his red tie that clashed with his entire blacked out suit attire, he approached the three standing there.
"But both you and I know that we're both here for the same reason, Minato."
Both polar men turned their attention to the rogue creatures that remained on opposite sides of the makeshift field they carved out of the forest. Both creatures cowered slightly in recognition of the men whom held a much higher authority than them. However, both creatures remained in their blinding, twisted forms and stood up—seemingly against the two men in front of them.
"If the regular Earth Guardians couldn't stop us, what makes Lord Itachi think that the Kingdom Guardians will do any better?" the Demon hissed, glaring as the shadows around him darkened drastically. Those shadows coiled around it in slivers as it dared to approach Minato.
The blonde man smirked as he stood his ground, arms crossed. "Just because you fooled the Earth Guardians, doesn't mean you're in the clear."
His ironic statement made the Demon slightly cackle as long, razor blade-like claws ripping through the skin of its hands. "I won't be so sure."
The Shadow Kingdom Guardian opened his eyes, the beautiful natural blue color faded into the iconic red eyes of the Demons. The crimson red orbs glanced over at the grey-suited man who proceeded to walk closer; the smirk that was hidden under his black mask didn't go unnoticed by Minato as a smirk graced his own lips. The dark aura that coaxed him darkened, a powerful sensation radiated off of the man in heat waves as a midnight blue sword slowly formed in his pale hand. "Kakashi."
The light around said man brightened to an extent as a golden sword formed in his own hand. Both men faced the creatures that growled and hissed, charging up their own power. "Game on."
"Damn it." The quiet swear escaped the prince's lips as he stared at the projection on the table. The Guardians' suppressed raged kept rising, causing them to react so poorly to the rogue creatures' words. Something about the neutrality of Earth causes both Angels and Demonds to lose all sensibility and to lash out. And Sasuke knew that… He knew how effective Earth's pull was, and he cursed his en for not being strong enough.
I'll do this myself if I have to. The Dark Prince rose from his seat, disgusted by the scene playing out before him. He called for his guards to retrieve his battle armor, to which they apprehensively oblige.
"And what do you think you're doing, little brother?"
The other creatures in the room bowed before saluting as the Demon King entered the room once again. Sasuke glared over his soldier at his brother, "What does it look like?" He turned to face him. "If nothing is going to get done correctly, I'll do it myself."
"And you think that's wise?" Itachi asked with a very smug tone, that infamous smirk gracing his lips.
Sasuke gritted his teeth, clearly irked at his brother's smug manner. At that moment, the guards reentered with the requested armor. In a fluid motion, he snatched the armor and disappointed in a swirl of darkness.
Emerald eyes watched the projection in sadness. It seems like humans weren't the only ones who fall for the greed and selfishness of Earth—everyone, anything is victim. She watched as her children fight with darkness. She watched as her Guardian mediated between the other three opposing forces. She watched as he desperately tried to resist the temptation of conflict; but even the great Kakashi Hatake fell victim. She watched as both Guardians assisted in the conflict.
"Princess!" Sakrua turned her head slightly over her shoulder to acknowledge the entrance of her assistant. "What should we do?"
Sakura turned her gaze back to the scene unfolding in front of her eyes. She knew that if she sent anyone else, they would just fall victim to the temptation as well; even her strongest men failed. Her emerald orbs closed solemnly—she knew what needed to be done.
"Shizune," she faced her loyal assistant, a bold look on her face. "Please retrieve my battle robes." She walked away from the projection, waving a hand to make it disappear.
Shizune's eyes widen at her princess' command. "But, my Lady!"
"That's an order." The sharpness in the Light Queen's voice caused Shizune to refrain from retorting any further.
The Angel guards appeared with the Princess' battle robes and armor. She gave them a small smile of thanks before disappearing in rays of beautiful bright light. The last she saw was the concerned looks on her Angels' faces.
