"Yesterday brought the beginning, tomorrow brings the end, but somewhere in the middle we've become best of friends.

Unknown


Kyoko could only stare dumfounded at the figure of him. Of Sho and Mimori standing there, looking like lovers even though a devil can never love. When the devil sold his heart for power. Greed was the only thing Kyoko could now see, opening Pandora's box to the world to see.

Moko's tight grip on Kyoko was the only reassurance to not kill him right there on the spot. "We need to wait and see what happens" she whispered to Kyoko with a look in her eye telling her to calm down.

Kyoko unclenched her shoulders but kept a hard grip on her knife. Kyoko was determined to stop Sho.

Sho and Mimori stood there for a few more moments with Sho hiding Mimori beneath his huge raven ebony wings. It felt like another dagger had been slowly piercing through her ribcage and into her weak heart. Sho had always done what he was doing to Mimori, comforting her with soft words while waiting for the moment he could take her soul. Her anger could only be taken out on the dagger she was gripping extremely hard.

Kyoko suddenly felt a hand placed on the small of her back, Moko was doing her best to stop her and Kyoko's temper was running away with her.

"I'm sorry Moko, this is just a sudden realisation in reality that he never did love me" The words 'revenge' worked its way in her mind.

"Love is a blinding thing that can only be seen once broken and dead" Moko said with sadness that didn't look possible, Moko was normally not like this either.

Moko suddenly snapped her head to where Sho and Mimori were now ready to go to the human world. Kyoko reached out and with a slow precise movement opened the blooded gate. Sho must have heard her because he turned his head to look in her direction when sudden surprise dawned on his face. Mimori must have not realised yet because she had not turned around.

"Who are you?"

Kyoko's spine went stiff and a shiver ran down it. She didn't feel anger towards him anymore, she just wanted Mimori back. "Give back Mimori, I don't' want to have to fight you"

Sho laughed, his handsome face made her fall into a flashback.

"Sho! Why do we have to be so different? If I were like you would we be able to be together" The once naïve Kyoko said.

"Because they won't allow it, don't worry though. I'll find a way for us to be together forever. I love you Kyoko" Sho said, he said with his gorgeous long lashes and comforting eyes.

"Do you really?" Kyoko asked earnestly

"Yes! That's why I'm here with you right now" his raven black wings wrapping around her, protecting her.

"Will we always be together? Do you promise Sho?" Kyoko said.

"Yes" He said while gently smoothing her hair out of her face and kissing her forehead with his cold lips. They actually felt warm every time Kyoko kissed them.

"Will you promise me something else as well?" Kyoko said while digging her fingernails slightly into the ground.

"Hmmm?" He said while suddenly stretching his wings and yawning.

"Promise you'll always remember me, no matter what. That you'll look for me till the end of the world until we can be together" Kyoko bugged and tugged with his arm.

"Yeah, I said that didn't I?" he leaned backwards and lazily lay on the grass in the warmest weather that the human world had so far the time they had stayed on Earth.

Kyoko beamed with a fluttery feeling in her heart "Sho?"

"Yes?" There was a hint of annoyance in his voice, of course Kyoko never realised.

"I love you too; I want to be with you forever"

Kyoko's eyes blurred typically but she wiped it away quickly. She was going to stop Sho before it was too late to start again.

"Sho, stop this right now. It's the end now" Kyoko said with a sudden fierceness.

"How do you know- he was cut off when Kyoko lunged towards him with the speed of a leopard.

Her accuracy was just as good and it was made a fact when, with a tingling feeling jammed the knife into the side of his stomach. He stepped a little too slowly for a devil but Kyoko had gotten stronger and wasn't the weak pathetic girl he had known. Maybe that's why he didn't know who she was.

She pulled the knife out just as fast as she had stabbed him; he stood there with surprisingly for a devil as well red blood dripping down.

Kyoko smiled when she saw his face, saw how shocked and in pain he was in. There was never going to be any guilt over that anymore.

At the same time Kyoko knew why Mimori hadn't said anything. She was asleep; he must have done something to her to make sure she was sleeping while he was just about to take her wings and soul when Kyoko interrupted.

In that time period Sho had been studying Kyoko even though he was bleeding. "Who the hell are you?" Sho asked with annoyance and anger.

"Somebody you used to know" Kyoko said bitterly "Your promises were lies and this was a perfect time for revenge"

He squinted at her, probably was trying to remember every single girl he had seduced over the last century.

"Mogami? Is that really you?" he was astonished and hurt now.

"No I'm Sakura" Kyoko said with dripping sarcasm.

"Who?"

"Of course I'm Mogami! Freaking idiot! For the first time in a century we see each other again and you ask me who I am! This is why you should never trust a devil" Kyoko said on a verge of a meltdown.

"It was an accident" he said with that helpless puppy expression of his.

Don't you dare think that you can trick me again, I'm not the stupid girl that you once knew"

"Doesn't matter, can't we start over again?" Sho said while pleading.

"So you can take my wings, dream on Satans creations" Kyoko spat.

His facial expression suddenly changed "You have slightly changed but I'm always going to be in your heart"

Kyoko shuddered slightly glared at him "I told you, I'm not stupid and I'll never ever fall for you ever again. It was the end the first time you lied to me"

Sho laughed mercilessly "It'll be fun to toy with your heart again" he doubled over from his wound and kneeled down.

Kyoko smiled with empty eyes "I doubt that" she then, with the bloodied knife still in her hand, dropped it with the dagger point hitting into the ground, inches from his knee.

Moko had already gone and picked up Mimori "Kyoko, we should go now" Moko said uncomfortably.

Kyoko wasn't finished though; she turned and looked Sho right in the eye. Shos red eyes used to remind her of rubies but all they reminded her of was the blood spilt that day. She was never ever going to forgive a devil and that was going to be his last reminder.

"I don't give a damn if you try anything with me because I'll never make that mistake but if you ever go near or even touch Mimori again I will kill you. And I don't care if that means there will be blood on my hands because I won't let you do what you did to me" She turned around and with Moko following while carrying Mimori left Sho lying there bleeding his heart out in between the realms of earth, heaven and hell.
