Part four: Losing my Religion

The angels gently let Solaris down to the ground, and she blinked in shock. "Oh my god… I knew when I left it was bad, but this? All the fury?" she asked.

"No, some is the one looking for you." One of the angels informed her, before a loud crashing sound caught their attention. Solaris ran off in that direction, Kurama following and mentally cursing.

He owed that girl some Chinese.

Solaris glared at the red-haired figure, who still laughed over her destruction. God dammit, that was her favorite hiding place! Now it was personal!

"Hey! You! Take a chill pill, girl!" Solaris yelled, catching the demoness' attention. "Yanno that thing called blood pressure? Yeah, well, it can kill you too! I think I might save it the trouble if you don't calm your happy ass down this second, though!" With slow, hesitant steps, the red-haired demoness stepped off the rubble and wreckage from her little spree, and towards the auburn, angel-raised vixen.

"Sarue?" she asked quietly, timidly.

"It's Solaris now, but yeah, Sarue is my middle name." Solaris nodded. The demon walked like one in a dream, and without even thinking, Solaris held out a hand to her. She took it slowly, then looked into the dark eyes.

"Do you have them?" she asked, confusing Solaris. "Do you have the marks?"

"The marks?" Solaris asked, then she understood. The oversized sweater came over her head, the braid moved forward, and the wings displayed. The new vixen smiled, pulled raggedly-chopped hair over her shoulder, and displayed her own wing marks over the backless top. "The wings… then that means that you're…"

"Not supposed to be here." An angel with dark hair, dark eyes, and pure white robes came fluttering down, scowling. "You or your fury-releasing sister."

"You know what, dad, kiss my ass. You never believed me or cared for me anyway, I was just an obligation to you. Split the two Grays up so the prophecy can never be fulfilled." Solaris smirked at the man. "Oh, yes, I read about that too. Is that why you always tried to get me on to romance novels and things, so I wouldn't find out why you took me to raise? A little late for that, daddy dearest."

All Kurama could do was watch what happened. Like a slow-motion train wreck, he couldn't turn away from it as Shiroi slapped his dark-haired daughter across the face, knocking her to the ground. The red-haired vixen rushed to her sister's side, then growled up at their father.

"Mom was right, you are a bastard. Looks like I owe mom some Chinese food." She growled. "Dammit."

"You may have been an obligation, but you were one I was glad to take on! Do you know how many times I have seen souls weep to return to their children? I wanted to know what could get them to do that, just what would get them to try to cheat death for kids! And after I met your mother, and she had you, I got it! I understood! You had joy in your first smile, beauty in your little furry form! Even after I saw that you were the most demonic-looking Gray ever, I was ready to take you, I wanted to take you to what I hoped would be the only home you ever wanted!" Shiroi declared. Solaris rolled her eyes.

"Puh-leeze. That's why you were willing to let them kill me for releasing the fury, that's why you believed so easily that I had done it when I was on the other side of the freaking place the whole damn time! I was fucking asleep, for hell's sakes! And still you believe another angel over your own child? I have never lied to you before, and you think I would choose now to start? That's not love. That's using your own kid for personal gain. And it just makes you an asshole." Shiroi started towards her again, and the slap issued twice: Once from her before he could do any more damage, and once from him, knocking her three feet to the side again. The red-haired vixen scampered over to her sister, growling the whole time.

"I took you from the pits of hell, where you would have been killed for being half-angel, and this is the thanks I get?!" Shiroi growled back at the other vixen, who got to her feet and pulled Solaris up with her.

"You are a sick son of a bitch. May you rot up here with no one to care for you, kahrahde." The red-head smiled almost evilly at the stunned look on her father's face. Abruptly her mood turned serious and she looked to her twin. "Come on, sister, we have to get to hell! Mom's really bad sick, and she wants to see you before she gets worse!"

"Hikaru is sick?" Shiroi asked for the first time. The red vixen scoffed.

"Yes, she is, no thanks to you! When she heard about this commotion and the released fury, and which one it was, she fell down, and since then she's been bedridden. Please, sis, you have to come with me!" she cried, clutching at her sister's arm.

"Honey, I am not going anywhere but back to earth…" Solaris said, then smiled calmly. "Unless you tell me your name."

"What?" she asked, then smiled. "Oh! I never did introduce myself, huh? And I'm sure dad is dying to know the name of his second daughter. I am Foxglove Marie Adiea, of the clan kuroi kokoro, daughter of Hikaru and the angel of death, granddaughter to Riaru and Shinobu, niece to Hideki…well, you get the idea. The list could go on for days, and we don't have that! So, just keep it to Foxglove, okay?"

"Keep it to Solaris and we're good. Now, how can the three of us get back to mom…?" Solaris asked.

"Three?" Foxglove questioned, and Kurama coughed.

"Me. Minamino Shuiichi, just call me Kurama." He said, and Foxglove gave him a look.

"You sure we aren't related? 'Cause you look a helluva lot like me."

"I noticed, and no, I don't believe we're related." Which is probably a good thing, he thought.

"Okay, just wanted to be sure." Foxglove nodded, and dragged her sister and, by extension, her sister's caretaker, with her to a large, dark bird. "I hope he can carry all three of us."

"I'm sure he can." Solaris said calmly, and with that, they took off, leaving Shiroi and the other angels in their wake.

"Well? Stop them!" Shiroi commanded.

"We can't. She gave us three conditions to follow, and one was safe passage for her and her companion." One angel said shyly, though secretly he was rather happy that Shiroi had lost the only daughter he claimed.

"Milady, they've left!" the blond angel cried as he ran in, breathless. The fury didn't even look up from her book.

"I know. I knew this would happen, so that's why I found this. Hikaru's illness was no coincidence." The fury smiled, every sharp little fang in her mouth revealed. "I wasn't going to chance it, though I must say Foxglove's addition was a spin. However, I can handle this little setback, and I'll counter it with my own." She got to her feet and touched the glass, pleased that now it wasn't even bubbling out at her touch. "Hikaru won't last the night, let alone enough time to see her precious 'Sarue' and warn her of the danger. It'll be some sort of… miracle… if she does. And we all know that miracles don't occur for demons."

"Sarue, be aware…"

"My MOTHER is…!"
